Kentucky Architecture nanocontrollers employ a bit-serial SIMD-parallel hardware design to execute MIMD control programs. A MIMD program is transformed into equivalent SIMD code by a process called Meta-State Conversion (MSC), which makes heavy use of enable masking to distinguish which code should be executed by each processing element. Both the bit-serial operations and the enable masking imposed on them are expressed in terms of if-then-else (ITE) operations implemented by a 1-of-2 multiplexor, greatly simplifying the hardware. However, it takes a lot of ITEs to implement even a small program fragment. Traditionally, bit-serial SIMD machines had been programmed by expanding a fixed bitserial pattern for each word-level operation. Instead, nanocontrollers can make use of the fact that ITEs are equivalent to the operations in Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), and can apply BDD analysis to optimize the ITEs. This thesis proposes and experimentally evaluates a number of techniques for minimizing the complexity of the BDDs, primarily by manipulating normalization ordering constraints. The best method found is a new approach in which a simple set of optimization transformations is followed by normalization using an ordering determined by a Genetic Algorithm (GA).

Legitimate and underground needle exchange programs, specifically targeted for intravenous drug users (IVDUs) (i.e., currently the second largest risk group in the AIDS epidemic), have emerged in various locales in a desperate attempt to change their drug use practices and behaviors associated with the transmission of HIV-1/AIDS. This study focuses on one such program, the Tacoma-Pierce County Needle Exchange Program, in which the pioneering efforts of a private individual are provided, the manifestations of public entrepreneurism are examined, and in which various attributes of program acceptance are identified and explored. An introductory and exploratory case study approach is the research strategy used in this dissertation, since it is adaptive and flexible to accommodate the use of multiple data sources. Data have been collected through semi-structured interviews involving four law enforcement personnel and 21 program clients (i.e., IVDUs), which consisted of open-and close-ended questions regarding program acceptance. Existing data sources, such as court documents, published interviews with key officials, journals, and various news articles provide an assessment of the events and activities that relate to the evolution and success of the Tacoma-Pierce County Needle Exchange Program. The attributes identified and explored in this study include: settings, type of staff, method of service delivery (including spillover effects), nature of the geographic area, concern over the effects of AIDS, external environmental conduits (the informal communication network and the media), and characteristics of program clients. These attributes were found to be important to program acceptance of the Tacoma-Pierce County Needle Exchange Program; however, they should be further examined in other communities to see if they remain important. To this extent, the findings indicated that needle exchange programs have complex characteristics attached to them, and that they deserve to be further studied to understand those complexities. Other benefits of the Tacoma-Pierce County Needle Exchange Program found to be important include: (1) fewer citizen complaints about the carelessly discarded, used syringes often found in gutters, parks, greenbelts, alleys, and streets; and (2) fewer reports of infections caused by accidental needle stick injuries among law enforcement personnel (which can occur when a law enforcement officer frisks a suspect), maintenance employees, and grounds-keepers. Overall, phenomenal savings can accrue from such unintentional and additional benefits of needle exchange programs. In light of this debilitating disease, and of the high cost associated with medical care, such innovative interventions are perceived worthy in the course of this deadly epidemic.

Infrastructure plays an important role in a country's economic development, it is also essential to recover from the financial crisis. The history of developed countries shows that infrastructure contributed a lot in economic development, and maintaining & upgrading infrastructure is also important for running economy smoothly. In developing countries, the quality of infrastructure and its service helps to reduce the production cost, increase the quality of personal life and gain the international competitiveness. India is the third largest country in Asia, it has developed rapidly in the recent years and became more attractive to foreign investment. Since its economic reforms in 1991, The Indian government has been committed to the development of infrastructure and encouraged private sector and foreign direct investment's participation, especially in the recent ten years. Recognizing that the lags of infrastructure development became the bottleneck of its economic growth, the Indian government increased the strength of infrastructure development by more policy and fiscal support. This paper briefly introduces the infrastructure development situation in India and attempts to analyze from infrastructure perspective the advantages and challenges that India has to sustain its economic growth. This research also compares China's rapid economic growth and infrastructure development contribution to it. In examining the successful experience that China has, and problems exposed in its infrastructure development the consequence by performing the massive stimulus financial package in 2008 points out that infrastructure development has positive impact on economic growth, and can directly contribute to the growth. There are limitations to the extent to which infrastructure development can contribute to long term economic stability.

The Department of Defense has issued a mandate aimed at improving its capabilities in determining the location, value, quantity, and condition of government assets. The mandate requires marking specified assemblies and components with a unique identifier using two-dimensional data matrix technology. Item Unique Identification (IUID), comprised of data matrix technology and the Unique Item Identifier (UII) data construct, was chosen to create a global standard for identification and because it showed promise in providing lifetime tracking of assets. Currently, Raytheon's implementation strategy to address the mandate has focused solely on compliance and does not aim to extract value from the IUID mandate or the UII construct. However there are many potential benefits of these capabilities. This thesis attempts to identify potential usage scenarios, determine if they are a worthwhile investment, and develop a more deliberate IUID strategy for Raytheon as a corporation within the context of the existing tracking and information landscape. It was determined that company wide pre-tax net savings of $10.6 ( 5.4) Million annually are possible from leveraging IUID technology in repair operations alone.
(cont.) This study recommends a pilot program and if successful, to continue to leverage IUID in those repair programs with: more than 500 units processed annually, more than five workstations, and an IUID requirement in place. This study also recommends that Raytheon should not mark above contractual requirements but should encourage customers to implement IUID marking for high volume programs. This study led to additional recommendations for operations strategy at Raytheon. Automated rather than manual (keystrokes) data entry should be promoted in all operations; specifically in high volume applications. Raytheon should also make a practice of purchasing scanners that detect both bar codes and data matrices for all operations. Finally, the UII construct should be adopted in company wide operations independent of which technology (bar code, 2D Matrix, or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)) is used to read or deliver it.

Анотація:
Cross-cultural studies, like TIMSS and PISA 2003, are being conducted since 1960s with an idea that these assessments can provide a broad perspective for evaluating and improving education. In addition countries can assess their relative positions in mathematics achievement among their competitors in the global world. However, because of the different cultural and language settings of different countries, these international tests may not be functioning as expected across all the countries. Thus, tests may not be equivalent, or fair, linguistically and culturally across the participating countries. In this conte! ! xt, the present study aimed at assessing the equivalence of mathematics items of TIMSS 1999 and PISA 2003 across cultures and languages, to fin! d out if mathematics achievement possesses any culture specifi! c aspect s. For this purpose, the present study assessed Turkish and English versions of TIMSS 1999 and PISA 2003 mathematics items with respect to, (a) psychometric characteristics of items, and (b) possible sources of Differential Item Functioning (DIF) between these two versions. The study used Restricted Factor Analysis, Mantel-Haenzsel Statistics and Item Response Theory Likelihood Ratio methodologies to determine DIF items. The results revealed that there were adaptation problems in both TIMSS and PISA studies. However it was still possible to determine a subtest of items functioning fairly between cultures, to form a basis for a cross-cultural comparison. In PISA, there was a high rate of agreement among the DIF methodologies used. However, in TIMSS, the agree! ment ra! te decreased considerably possibly because the rate o! f differ e! ntially functioning items within TIMSS was higher, and differential guessing and differential discriminating were also issues in the test. The study! also revealed that items requiring competencies of reproduction of practiced knowledge, knowledge of facts, performance of routine procedures, application of technical skills were less likely to be biased against Turkish students with respect to American students at the same ability level. On the other hand, items requiring students to communicate mathematically, items where various results must be compared, and items that had real-world context were less likely to be in favor of Turkish students.

Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In South African schools teachers are currently being expected to make major changes in the way they understand teaching and learning in the process of adapting to an entirely new curriculum like Curriculum 2005 or Outcomes Based Education (Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker & Engelbrecht, 1999:70). Research asked the question about what the needs of teachers are towards support to facilitate the implementation of inclusive education in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. A case study was conducted, the purpose being to inform support programmes for teachers. The target population included a selected primary school, the Mutondo Primary School in the Vuwani Area of the Limpopo Province. Participants included 20 voluntary teachers. A literature review was undertaken on the implementation of inclusive education in South Africa. It indicated that teachers showed negative and positive attitudes towards inclusive education in schools. It also showed that that teachers needed support to facilitate positive change in their attitudes toward inclusion in South Africa. Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker and Engelbrecht (1999:157) also emphasised that support was crucial for teachers as they felt that they did not have enough training in order to meet many challenges they come across. The aims of the study was to identify the need for a support programme towards inclusive education for teachers in the Vuwani Area of the Limpopo Province, to provide information to teachers on the implementation of inclusive education and to evaluate the needs for a support programme on the implementation of inclusive education in this area. Information was gathered at the hand of workshops with focus group interviews. The main themes that emerged from the data was the number of learners in a class, resources, the need for in-service training, a culture of respect and acceptance and a flexible curriculum. Findings suggested that a support programme could implement the policy of inclusive education more effectively when teachers' needs for training and support were being met.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Suid-Afrika word dit tans van onderwysers verwag om groot veranderinge aan te bring in die wyse waarop hulle onderrig en leer om sodoende te kan aanpas by 'n nuwe kurrikulum soos Kurrikulum 2005 of Uitkomsgebasseerde Onderwys (Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker & Engelbrecht, 1999:70). Hierdie stuk navorsing vra die vraag oor die behoeftes van onderwysers ten opsigte ondersteuning om die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys binne die Limpopo Provinsie van Suid-Afrika te fasiliteer. 'n Gevallestudie is onderneem met as doelom inligting te verskaf ten opsigte van 'n ondersteuningsprogram vir onderwysers. Die teikenbevolking het ingesluit 'n geselekteerde primêre skool in die Vuwani gebied van die Limpopo Provinsie, naamlik die Mutondo Primêre Skool. Deelnemers het 20 vrywillige onderwysers ingesluit. 'n Literatuurstudie is onderneem oor die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys binne Suid-Afrika. Dit het getoon dat onderwysers beide positiewe en negatiewe houdings openbaar teenoor inklusiewe onderwys binne skole. Dit het verder aangetoon dat onderwysers ondersteuning benodig ten opsigte van die fasilitering van positiewe veranderings in hul houdings jeens inklusiewe onderwys in Suid-Afrika. Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker en Engelbrecht (1999: 157) beklemtoon dat ondersteuning uiters belangrik is vir onderwysers aangesien hulle voel dat hulle nie genoegsame opleiding het om nuwe uitdagings aan te spreek nie. Doelwitte binne hierdie studie het ingesluit die identifisering van die behoefte aan 'n ondersteuningsprogram vir onderwysers binne die Vuwani area van die Limpopo Provinsie, die deurgee van inligting aan onderwysers rakende inklusiewe onderwys en die evaluering van behoeftes vir 'n ondersteuningsprogram rakende die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys in hierdie gebied. Data is ingesamel aan die hand van werkswinkels met fokusgroeponderhoude. Die hooftemas wat uit die navorsing na vore getree het, was die aantalleerders binne klasse, hulpmiddele, die behoefte van indiensopleiding, 'n kultuur van respek en aanvaarding en laastens 'n buigsame kurrikulum. In kort is bevind dat 'n ondersteuningsprogram die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys kan vergemaklik.

In winter, Greenland's coastline adjacent to the subpolar North Atlantic and Nordic Seas is characterized by a large land-sea temperature contrast. Therefore, winds across the coast advect air across a horizontal temperature gradient and can result in significant surface heat fluxes both over the ice sheet (during onshore winds) and over the ocean (during offshore winds). Despite their importance, these winds have not been investigated in detail, and this thesis includes the first comprehensive study of their characteristics, dynamics and impacts. Using an atmospheric reanalysis, observations from local weather stations, and remote sensing data, it is suggested that high-speed wind events across the coast are triggered by the superposition of an upper level potential vorticity anomaly on a stationary topographic Rossby wave over Greenland, and that they intensify through baroclinic instability. Onshore winds across Greenland's coast can result in increased melting, and offshore winds drive large heat losses over major ocean convection sites. Strong offshore winds across the southeast coast are unique over Greenland, because the flow is funneled from the vast ice sheet inland into the narrow valley of Ammassalik at the coast, where it can reach hurricane intensity. In this region, the cold air, which formed over the northern ice sheet, is suddenly released during intense downslope wind events and spills over the Irminger Sea where the cold and strong winds can drive heat fluxes of up to 1000 W m-2, with potential implications for deep water formation. Moreover, the winds advect sea ice away from the coast and out of a major glacial fjord. Simulations of these wind events in Ammassalik with the atmospheric Weather Research and Forecast Model show that mountain wave dynamics contribute to the acceleration of the downslope flow. In order to capture these dynamics, a high model resolution with a detailed topography is needed. The effects of using a different resolution locally in the valley extend far downstream over the Irminger Sea, which has implications for the evolution and distribution of the heat fluxes.

As Amazon continues to experience a rapid growth in its e-commerce business, fulfillment efficiency needs to through safe implementation of advanced technology to create a better customer experience. Amazon has heavily invested in automating its outbound product sortation process that merges picked items but has yet to develop automation for multi-item packing. Individual item manipulation has been proven very challenging to automate due to the over 500 million unique products offered. This thesis proposes a container manipulation solution that integrates industrial robotics and other equipment with upstream sortation technology to automate the packing process. A physical prototype was built to test the concept and measure proficiency in critical quality metrics such as item accuracy, product damage, and packing density/orientation. Additionally, an operational simulation for the system was developed to determine the optimal capacity sizing for the integrated sortation and packing system. Lastly, sensitivity analysis on a financial model was performed to optimize for the net present value (NPV) and payback period. After a series of controlled experiments and process improvements, the prototype produced promising results, given the rudimentary nature of the prototype. The system generated item accuracy defects at 2%, product damage defects at 2% and packing orientation defects at 17%. While these results are not adequate to be used in live operation, a development path to acceptable performance appears attainable. Furthermore, implementation of the technology would generate approximately and $100M in NPV across the global fulfillment network.

Rapporten baseras på en empirisk studie och en litteraturstudie. Syftet är att belysa några av de anledningar till att flickor och kvinnor utesluter tekniken och i synnerhet väljer bort den vid gymnasievalet. Vad påverkar de kvinnliga eleverna i deras val respektive bortval av teknikprogrammet? Denna studie söker elevperspektivet hos gymnasieungdomar som utfrågas om deras genomgångna gymnasieval och vilka faktorer som påverkade dem. Därigenom erhålls ett resultat i en avvikande synvinel till skillnad från studier där ungdomar utfrågas innan eller i samband med gymnasievalet i årskurs 9, i och med att gymnasieungdomarna är något mer mogna till reflektion över sina anledningar samt att de har mer insikt samtidigt som de har gymnasievalet i närbelägen dåtid. Den empiriska studien har utförts på en stor gymnasieskola i en av Sveriges storstadsregioner. Metoden för den empiriska studien var intervju och enkätfrågor till kvinnliga elever på teknikprogrammet och naturvetenskapsprogrammet samt lärare som undervisar dessa. Studien påvisar att de kvinnliga eleverna anser att existerandet av de mjukare inriktningarna på teknikprogrammet (exempelvis Design- och produktutveckling), öppet hus samt föräldrarnas åsikt utgör en stark påverkan på deras val av Teknikprogrammet. I nära samverkan med litteraturen gick dessa områden att sammanfoga till några koncilianta sammanhörande gebit. Hierarkiska strukturer i kulturella koder för de olika programmen var framstående. Återgivningen av tekniskt intresse tolkades också ha en avgörande betydelse liksom innehållsmässiga faktorer i teknikundervisningen på högstadiet. Även föräldrarnas direkta eller indirekta åsikt tros spela in. Studien påvisade ett troligt samband mellan föräldrars utbildning samt yrkesval och de kvinnliga elevernas gymnasieval. Av studien framkommer att eventuellt möjliga vägar till att undvika segregerade gymnasieval till teknikprogrammet exempelvis är att utöka antalet mjuka inriktningar på teknikprogrammet, fortsätta att medvetet arbeta för fler kvinnliga elever på teknikprogrammet på det öppna huset samt att försöka att medvetet skynda på förändringen av den kulturella koden för teknikprogrammet genom att bland annat föra fram och trycka på kvinnliga förebilder inom teknik, både moderna och historiska.The report is based on both a survey and a literature study. The purpose is to highlight the reasons why girls and women exclude technology as such and, in particular, why they opt it out in the upper secondary school selection process. What do the female students consider to be the main reasons affecting them in their selection and discontinuation of the technology programs? This study searches for the pupil perspective of upper secondary school students. This gives a deviating result as opposed to studies that are conducted with pupiles in lower grades. The survey was conducted at a major secondary school in one of Sweden's metropolitan regions. The method of the survey was interviews and a web questionnaire addressing female students on the technology program and the science program as well as teachers who teach them both. The study shows that the existence of the softer specializations of the technology program (such as design and production development), open-houses and the parents' opinion weighed heavily in their decision process. In close collaboration with the literature, these areas joined up to some conciliatory related fields. Hierarchical structures in cultural codes for the various programs were prominent. The interpretation of the term technical interest was also crucial as well as substantial factors in upper level lower secondary school technical education. Even the parents' direct –as well as indirect opinions are important. The survey shows that parents' education and their existing career choices have strong connection with female students' choices for their future education. Conclusion could be made that possible ways to avoid segregated upper secondary school program choices could include setting up an increased number of "soft" specializations in the technology program, active work to attract female students during technology programs’ open-houses and speeding up change of the technology program cultural codes by, among other things, emphasizing the importance of both established and new female role-models in the technology world.

Анотація:
During the Austral Spring of 2007-2008 the ANtarctic geological DRILLing program (ANDRILL) recovered a 1,138 meter long sediment core AND-2A from the western side of the Victoria Land Basin for the Southern McMurdo Sound Project. The main goal of the project is to help establish a Neogene (~24 to 1.6 Mya) ice volume and climate record of Antarctica. This study focuses on the foraminifera record of AND-2A for paleoenvironmental and biostratigraphic purposes.AND-2A is unique in that it contains a Middle Miocene record (~17 to ~11 Mya) that includes the Middle Miocene transition of warm climatic conditions favoring polythermal ice sheets to major cooling into polar conditions resulting in the quasi-permanent formation of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. This Middle Miocene transition has not been previously recovered from the Antarctic continental margin.The foraminifer record is not abundant; however, three assemblage zones are identified throughout AND-2A. Calcareous benthic taxa dominate every assemblage, as well as displaying similarities between modern shallow shelf assemblages around Antarctica and assemblages from previous drilling projects in the Ross Sea sector. The foraminifera record displays a dynamic environmental record and is supported by both the sedimentologic and other paleontologic findings.

In this paper we review the current state of R packages for Item Response Theory (IRT).
We group the available packages based on their purpose and provide an overview of each
package's main functionality. Each of the packages we describe has a peer-reviewed publication
associated with it. We also provide a tutorial analysis of data from the 1990
Workplace Industrial Relation Survey to show how the breadth and
exibility of IRT
packages in R can be leveraged to conduct even challenging item analyses with versatility
and ease. These items relate to the type of consultations that are carried out in a firm
when major changes are implemented. We first use unidimensional IRT models just to
discover that they fit do not fit well. We then use nonparametric IRT to explore the
possible causes for the scaling problem. Based on the results from the exploration, we
finally use a two-dimensional model on a subset of the original items to achieve a good
fit with a sensible interpretation, namely that there are two types of consultations a firm
may engage in: consultations with workers/representatives from the firm and with official
union representatives. The different items relate mostly to one of these dimensions and
firms can be scaled well along these two dimensions.Series: Discussion Paper Series / Center for Empirical Research Methods

Sea ice thickness has long been an under-measured quantity, even in the satellite era. The snow surface elevation, which is far easier to measure, cannot be directly converted into sea ice thickness estimates without knowledge or assumption of what proportion of the snow surface consists of snow and ice. We do not fully understand how snow is distributed upon sea ice, in particular around areas with surface deformation. Here, we show that deep learning methods can be used to directly predict snow depth, as well as sea ice thickness, from measurements of surface topography obtained from laser altimetry. We also show that snow surfaces can be texturally distinguished, and that texturally-similar segments have similar snow depths. This can be used to predict snow depth at both local (sub-kilometer) and satellite (25 km) scales with much lower error and bias, and with greater ability to distinguish inter-annual and regional variability than current methods using linear regressions. We find that sea ice thickness can be estimated to <20% error at the kilometer scale. The success of deep learning methods to predict snow depth and sea ice thickness suggests that such methods may be also applied to temporally/spatially larger datasets like ICESat-2.

The purpose of this study was to identify and explain youth ice hockey coaches' perceptions of the effectiveness of a team building intervention program. Specifically, eight Peewee hockey coaches followed the same procedures and implemented the same physical team building activities with their teams throughout the regular season. Data was gathered in a variety of ways. Coaches' answered questions on a pre and post-intervention form for each activity and their behaviors were observed by members of the research team. As well, a semi-structured exit interview was conducted with each coach following the completion of the regular season. Cote, Salmela, and Russell's (1995) guidelines were used to inductively analyze and interpret the interview data. Results of the data revealed four higher-order categories concerning coaches' perceptions of the team building program: (a) coach characteristics and outcomes, which included skills coaches gained as a result of their participation in the team building program, as well as their beliefs, philosophies, and background experiences that shaped their coaching development, (b) team circumstances and climate, which involved interpersonal interactions, internal and external environmental factors, and elements influencing team atmosphere, (c) athlete outcomes, which included the feelings, attitudes, and values, as well as the intellectual/thinking-related skills and outcomes that athletes experienced as a result of their involvement in the intervention program, and (d) program involvement and assessment, which focused on coaches' roles and their confidence delivering team building activities, as well as their appraisal of the intervention program. Results of this study provided evidence of the benefits of a season-long team building intervention program for coaches, athletes, and entire teams. Specifically, coaches felt athletes enjoyed this experience and improved and/or acquired a variety of important life skills, such as problem-solving and the ability to focus and persevere when faced with challenging tasks. Likewise, coaches felt their communication and motivational skills improved as a result of their involvement in the team building program. Finally, coaches also felt athletes bonded daring activities and improved their abilities to work together as a group. The results of this study have advanced knowledge in sport psychology by providing a deeper understanding of how team building is perceived by youth sport coaches.

Abstract Aim The aim of the study is to investigate the vocational program student’s motivation in physical education and to explore the reasons for the lack of participation during a lesson. How do students describe their motivation towards physical education? What does motivate the students to participate or to not participate? Method A qualitative interview method was conducted with eleven participants consisting only of vocational program students, who have not been fully participating in the physical education lessons. The theories, that are used to analyze, are Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the sociocultural perspective on motivation including the intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Results The results indicate that students can participate partially and fully in physical education lessons although their motivation is still low and lacking. Student thinks that physical education is an important subject, but they have still low and lacking motivation, which is created due to the surroundings demotivating students’ minds. Most of the students have a positive attitude towards the subject in itself; however from their current context their attitude is negative. Attendance and participation do not show clearly students’ intrinsic motivation, because of their participation is based solely on passing the subject. Conclusion From the theoretical framework, students’ different needs are not achieved and there is no positive interaction in classes, which is expressed through lack of motivation. Social class and society’s expectation also places a part of affecting students’ motivation. Classmates and teacher have a significant impact towards students’ motivation, which can be either positive or negative. These factors are interpreted to have a negative influence in this case. In other words, there is not enough of positive influence for extrinsic motivation to contribute change in behavior through intrinsic motivation.Sammanfattning Syfte Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka motivationen till idrott och hälsa hos elever från yrkesförberedande program som ofta inte är aktivt deltagande. Studiens frågeställning är: Hur beskriver eleverna sin motivation till idrott och hälsa? Vad motiverar eleverna att delta eller inte delta i idrott och hälsa? Metod En kvalitativ intervjumetod användes i studien med elva deltagare vilka är elever endast från yrkesförberedande program som inte fullkomligt deltar på lektionerna i idrott och hälsa. Det teoretiska ramverket, vilket innehåller inre motivation och yttre motivation, är baserat på Maslows hierarki av behov, och det sociokulturella perspektivet på motivationen. Resultat Resultaten indikerar att eleverna kan vara delvis eller helt deltagande på idrott och hälsa lektionerna även om de har låg och bristande motivation till ämnet. Eleverna anser att idrott och hälsa är ett viktigt ämne, men har ändå låg och bristande motivation, vilket är skapad på grund av att miljön runt eleverna påverkar deras sinnen negativt. De flesta av eleverna har positiv inställning till ämnet i sig men utifrån deras nuvarande kontext så är inställningen negativ. Närvaro och deltagande visar inte tydligt elevernas inre motivation eftersom orsaken till deras deltagande är grundat på bara att bli godkända. Slutsats Enligt det teoretiska ramverket beror bristande motivation på att individernas olika behov inte blir uppnådda. Det sker ingen positiv interaktion inom klassen som kan bidra till ökad motivation. Social klass och samhällets kultur påverkar också elevernas motivation. Klasskamrater och lärare har en stor påverkan på elevernas motivation, vilket kan vara antingen positivt eller negativt. Dessa faktorer är dock negativa enligt studiens tolkning. Med andra ord, det finns inte tillräckligt med positiv inflytelse till att den yttre motivationen skulle kunna bidra till förändring i beteende via inre motivation.

In this thesis, the effects of sea ice, downwelling favorable winds and barotropic background currents on shelf fronts are examined using numerical models. The models are configured with the characteristics of the East Greenland Current, north of the Denmark Strait, in mind. While the models are heavily idealized, basic physical parameters match the observed ocean. The first part of the thesis uses a three dimensional, primitive equation model to examine the behavior of a shelf front under steady, along shelf winds and barotropic currents. The wind stress generates shoreward surface Ekman transport and the barotropic current generates an offshore bottom Ekman transport. In both cases, the Ekman transport causes the creation of mixed layers and a relationship describing the mixed layer thickness is derived relating the cross shelf flux of density to the along shelf flux of density. When there is a barotropic inflow, the cross shelf Ekman mass transport is balanced by a return flow of mass in the interior. When there is a wind stress, in the present model configuration, the influence of the offshore boundary obscures the effect of the Ekman layers. The second part of the thesis focuses on the ice-ocean interaction using a simple, two layer, one dimensional toy model. The interaction of sea-ice, geostrophic currents, and wind are examined. In the presence of a current and the absence of wind, the ice is transported downstream with the current. In the presence of wind and the absence of a current, the net ice-ocean transport is perpendicular to the wind, as is expected for Ekman layer theory. The two layer system acts like a poorly resolved Ekman spiral: the ice has down wind and shoreward transport while the ocean has up wind and shoreward transport.

In an effort to minimize the harmful effects of intracellular ice formation (IIF) during cryopreservation of confluent tissues, computer simulations based on Monte Carlo methods were performed to predict the probability of IIF in confluent monolayers during various freezing procedures. To overcome the prohibitive computational costs of such simulations for large tissues, the well-known Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) model of crystallization kinetics was implemented as a continuum approximation of IIF in tissues. This model, which describes nucleation, growth, and impingement of crystals in a supercooled melt, is analogous to the process of intracellular ice formation and propagation in biological tissues. Based on the work of Weinberg and Kapral (1989), the JMA model was modified to account for finite-size effects, and was shown to predict accurately the results of freezing simulations in 1-D tissue constructs, for various propagation rates and tissue sizes. An initial analysis of IIF kinetics in 2-D tissues is also presented. The probability of IIF in 2-D liver tissue was measured experimentally during freezing of HepG2 cells cultured in monolayers, and compared to Monte Carlo simulations and predictions of the continuum model. The Avrami coefficient and exponent for IIF in HepG2 tissue were estimated to be k = 0.19 and n = 0.45.

Denna uppsats behandlar i första hand elever som är frånvarande från lektionerna i idrott och hälsa samt vilka anledningar de anger till att vara det. Vi har varit ute i sammanlagt sex klasser på yrkesförberedande program på två olika skolor där eleverna läser idrott och hälsa 1. Syftet var att utifrån ett motivationsperspektiv få klarhet i varför vissa elever är frånvarande från ämnet. Vi ville även belysa vad eleverna skulle vilja förändra i ämnet idrott och hälsa för att minska frånvaron, vilket har gett oss en inblick i vad de är nöjda/ missnöjda med. Resultatet visar att elever anger en viss anledning till varför de är frånvarande vid olika tillfällen och en helt annan till varför de tror andra elever inte är med på lektionerna i idrott och hälsa. Den vanligaste orsaken som eleverna själva nämner till att vara frånvarande är skada eller sjukdom. Jämför vi det med varför de tror att andra elever inte deltar så är det vanligaste svaret att de inte orkar. Eleverna vill också förändra lektionsinnehållet på så sätt att de vill ha mer av viss aktivitet och då speciellt bollspel.

Bakgrund: Antalet ovaccinerade barn ökar och ca 134 200 människor dör varje år i en sjukdom som kan förhindras med hjälp av de välutvecklade vaccinationsprogrammen. Majoriteten av dödsfall är barn under fem år. UNICEF och WHO har som målsättning att alla barn i världen ska ha rätt till ett fullständigt skydd mot de sex vanligaste barnsjukdomarna. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva varför vissa föräldrar väljer att inte vaccinera sina barn samt att granska vilka datainsamlingsmetoder de inkluderade artiklarna har använt sig av. Metod: Den föreliggande litteraturstudien var av deskriptiv design där 12 stycken vetenskapliga artiklar granskats. De inkluderade artiklarna hade kvantitativ, kvalitativ eller mixad ansats. Huvudresultat: Föräldrar hade olika anledningar till varför de valde att avstå från att vaccinera sitt barn. Faktorer som visade sig påverka föräldrar i deras val att vaccinera sitt barn eller inte var bristande information, att vaccin ansågs vara onaturligt och farligt för barnets immunförsvar, att föräldrarna ansåg att de kunde skydda barnet från att bli smittad av sjukdomar, att biverkningar skulle uppstå samt påverkan från internet, familj och vänner. Studierna hade olika tillvägagångssätt för datainsamling. De var antingen enkäter, intervjuer eller insamlad data från journalsystem. Slutsats: Det är viktigt att sjukvården är medveten om de olika faktorer som påverkar föräldrar i deras val rådande vaccinationer för att kunna bidra med en individanpassad information utefter föräldrarnas kunskap och ställningstagande om vaccinationer.Background: The number of unvaccinated children is increasing and approximately 134 200 people die each year from a disease that can be prevented with the help of the developed vaccination programs. The majority of the deaths are children under five. UNICEF and WHO is committed to give every child in the world the right to full protection against the six most common childhood illnesses. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe why some parents choose not to vaccinate their children. The aim was also to review what data collection methods that was used in the included articles. Method: The present literary study was of a descriptive design where 12 pieces of scientific papers had been reviewed. The including articles had either a quantitative, a qualitative or mixed approach. Main result: Parents had different reasons why they chose not to vaccinate their children. Factors found to influence parents in their choice to vaccinate their children or not was a lack of information, the vaccine was considered unnatural and dangerous for the child's immune system, the parents felt that they could protect the baby from being infected by the disease, the side effects that could occur and the impact of the internet, family and friends. The studies had different approaches to data collection. They were either surveys, interviews or data collected from medical journals. Conclusion: It is important that health care personnel is aware of the various factors that influence parents vaccine choices to provide a personalized information by the parents knowledge and position on vaccinations.

Syftet med det här arbetet har varit att undersöka vilken inställning lärare har till läxor på ett yrkesinriktat gymnasium och varför en del av dem har valt att ge läxor medan andra har valt bort dem i sin undervisning. Jag valde att använda mig av den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden och min undersökningsgrupp bestod av sex lärare som var verksamma i en stad i södra Sverige. Resultatet visade att lärarna hade olika syn på läxan. En del hade svårigheter med att kunna ge en tydlig definition. De lärare som var positivt inställda till läxor, menade bland annat att de ger förförståelse och ansvarstagande. Vidare sa de att det inte finns tid till att göra dem under lektionen. De lärare som var negativt inställda till läxor, angav att många elever kommer från hem där de inte får tillräckligt med hjälp eller stöd.Sedan fanns det elever som av olika skäl inte kunde koncentrera sig på studier. Läxan berör många områden utifrån olika perspektiv. Samtidigt som den även utgörs av en komplex och mångfacetterad problematik.

The building sector consumes 32% of global energy used, and it is responsible for 20% of total greenhouse gases emissions. In Europe, more than one third of the buildings are 50 years or older, thus, it is critical that new dwellings are designed in the most efficient way from an energy perspective, since the consequences of the decisions taken today will remain during decades. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software is promising for the design of a wide range of constructions; from small dwellings to big apartment buildings. These programs allow the architect, designer or civil consultant to perform several simulations of the energy behavior of a building in a timely manner, even before a single brick is put in place. Among them, IDA ICE software utilized in this thesis is a top rated program, situated by some authors within the four main building energy simulation tools. This is an outstanding fact considering that it is estimated in more than 400 the number of available BIM programs. With the help of IDA ICE it will be demonstrated that for a dwelling object of study, located in Madrid (Spain), it is possible to save up to 4 250€ through the entire life of the building if the proper orientation is chosen. The discussed literature and results will also show that orientation is, by far, the most critical passive design parameter related to a building, from which the efficacy of other related measures depends on. It will be also proven that the optimal orientation depends on the weather where the dwelling is located, even though a general trend consisting in orienting the houses located in the northern hemisphere to the south, and vice versa, is observed.

Byggproduktionen är, på grund av sina invecklade arbetsmoment och dynamiska arbetsplatser, drabbad av svåra informations- och kommunikationsproblem. Veidekke Sverige AB använder sig av virtuellt byggandet (VDC) för att lösa dessa hinder i utförandet av sina projekt. VDC tillämpar flera olika informations- och kommunikationstekniker (ICT) och har visat sig vara lönsamt vid projektering. Under projektering med VDC samlas alla beslutsbehöriga parter i ett interaktivt rum där information förmedlas snabbt och effektiv med hjälp av olika visualiseringstekniker. Då VDC saknar liknande arbetsmetoder som kan tillämpas i produktionen, används fortfarande traditionella informations- och kommunikationsprinciper. Genom ett samarbete med Veidekke implementerades ett ICT-program i ett bostadsprojekt för att undersöka hur dess funktioner påverkade de rådande informations- och kommunikations-problem. Observationer och intervjuer utfördes för att fastställa programmets användbarhet, användarvänlighet och implementeringsvillkor. Utvecklingen av olika molntjänster har revolutionerat möjligheterna att lagra och förvalta information. Genom att utnyttja molntjänster har olika ICT-program, såsom BIM 360 Field, utvecklats för att tillgodose byggproduktions informations- och kommunikationsbehov. Programmen skapar, via molntjänsten, ett virtuellt forum för arbetsplatsen där omfattande informationsmängder och byggnadsinformationsmodeller (BIM), kan lagras, för att sedan tillhandahållas, korrigeras och kommuniceras via mobila enheter såsom bärbara datorer, läsplattor och mobiltelefoner. BIM 360 Field erbjuder en rad olika funktioner med varierande användbarhet som bör anpassas till den svenska byggarbetsmarknaden för att öka användarvänligheten. Om programmet ska vara lönsamt krävs en fullständig implementering där majoriteten av projektets aktörer medverkar. Innan ny ICT tillämpas bör en välutformad implementeringsstrategi etableras för verksamheten.The construction industry suffers, due it´s dynamic work environment and intricate operations, from difficult information and communication problems. To solve these problems Veidekke incorporates the use of virtual design and construction (VDC) in its projects. VDC is a project method that applies the use of several different information and communication technologies and has proven to be profitable during the design phase. The use of VDC in the design phase assembles the decision-authorized parties in an interactive room where information can be shared quickly and effectively by utilizing visualization technology. VDC, however, lacks similar work processes for the construction phase of the project which still applies traditional information and communication principles. Through cooperation with Veidekke, an ICT-program was implemented in order to study its effect on the current information and communication problems. Observations and interviews were conducted in order to analyze the programs usability, user-friendliness and the conditions of implementation. The development of cloud computing services has revolutionized the possibilities to store and manage information. By utilizing the advantages of cloud services several ICT programs, such as BIM 360 Field, have been designed to address the information and communication problems of the construction industry. The programs create virtual forums wherein immense amounts of information can be stored, managed accessed by mobile units such as laptop computers, table pc and cellular phones. BIM 360 Field offers a range of different functions with high usability but should be adjusted to the Swedish construction industry in order to increase user-friendliness. In order for the program to be profitable it needs be fully implemented so that all construction parties are involved. Before new ICT can be introduced into a notoriously tech-conservative industry like construction, a well design implementation strategy needs to be established. The strategy should entail exactly which information and communication problems need to be addressed, what possibilities are available as well as how existing work processes and organizations need be conformed in order to maximize usability. The strategy should also contain an education and development plan.

The purpose of this study was to develop a core HIV/AIDS knowledge assessment (CHAKA) for students enrolled in counseling-related degree programs. Although there are studies that examined counseling HIV/AIDS knowledge, the instruments that were used were limited in ways that may compromise the accuracy of the inferences that were made. This study was carried out in three phases. Phase 1 involved developing an initial pool of items; Phase 2 involved an expert review for content validation as well as a pilot-test; Phase 3 involved field testing the CHAKA. The field-test involved 343 undergraduate and graduate students at Southern Illinois University. Item response theory (IRT) was used to analyze the data. Before the data were analyzed, they were examined to see if the CHAKA was a unidimensional test. Results of the factor analysis performed was that the CHAKA may not be unidimensional; however the internal consistency was decent (α= .734). A two-parameter logistic (2PL) model was fit to the data. Results from the item parameter estimates displayed relatively low discrimination and difficulty parameters in addition to some problematic items (i.e., negative discrimination estimates, unusually large difficulty values). Additional analyses revealed that locally dependent items may have accounted for the possible multidimensionality, low discrimination indices, and inflated difficulty values. The low discrimination values likely affected the information values of the items and the test. All item information values were less than 1. Last, both uniform and non-uniform differential item functioning (DIF) was present between undergraduate and graduate students. IRT appears to be a promising approach to instrument development in counseling-related programs. Although the CHAKA properties were not ideal, further revisions and a larger sample size may contribute to the overall improvement of this instrument.

The purposes of this study was to examine what effects a specific team intervention program had on the ice-hockey players’ perceptions of their roles and the teams’ task cohesion. Further the purpose was to examine the benefits from having clear roles and strategies to develop role clarity. It was an intervention study with experimental design and a mixed method approach. Participants were two Swedish male junior ice hockey teams including one experimental team (n=14) and one control team (n=16). The intervention took place during competitive season and was based on communication training, mutual sharing and role development. The results showed that the role clarity decreased in both teams during the time of the intervention. The players in the intervention team felt significant more appreciated than the players in the control team. Overall did the intervention team have more positive trends than the control team. Perceived benefits from role clarity were good cooperation, communication, self-confidence and determination. Suggested strategies to develop role clarity were to communicate with team mates and coach, practice and adjust to the team. Positive effects from the intervention were improved communication, positive attitude, self-confidence, calmness, cohesion and openness.Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka effekter ett specifikt laginterventionsprogram hade på spelarnas upplevelse av sina roller och lagets uppgiftsinriktade lagsammanhållning.

Studien var en interventionsstudie med experimentell design med ett mixat tillvägagångssätt. Deltagare I studien var två juniorishockeylag; ett experimentlag (n=14) och ett kontrollag (n=16). Interventionen pågick under tävlingssäsong och baserades på communikationsträning, ömsesidigt utbyte och rollteori. Resultatet visade att rollklarheten minskade under interventionstiden. Spelarna i interventionslaget upplevde sig sifnifikant mer uppskattade än spelarna i kontrollaget. Överlag hade interventionslaget mer positiva trender i fler variabler än kontrollaget. Upplevda fördelar med klara roller var bra samarbete, kommunikation, självförtroende och beslutsamhet. Föreslagna strategier för utvecklande av rollklarhet var att kommunisera med lagkamrater och tränare, träna och anpassa sig till laget. Positiva effekter av interventionen var förbättrad kommunikation, positiv attityd, självförtroende, lugn, lagsammanhållning och öppenhet.

This study is an examination and evaluation of the outcomes of a series of courses that I helped build to create a graduate certificate. Specifically, I wanted to evaluate whether or not the online iteration of the Informal Science Institutions Environmental Education Graduate Certificate Program truly provided the long term professional development needed to enhance the skills of the formal and informal educators participating so that they could contribute meaningfully to the improvement of science literacy in their respective communities.
My role as an internal evaluator provided an extraordinary opportunity to know the intent of the learning opportunities and why they were constructed in a particular fashion. Through the combination of my skills, personal experiences both within the certificate’s predecessor and as an educator, I was uniquely qualified to explore the outcomes of this program and evaluate its effectiveness in providing a long-term professional development for participants.
After conducting a literature review that emphasized a need for greater scientific literacy in communities across America, it was evident that the formal education enterprise needs the support of informal educators working on the ground in myriad different settings in ways that provide science as both content and process, learning science facts and doing real science. Through a bridging of informal science educators with formal teachers, it was thought each could learn the culture of the other, making each more fluent in accessing community resources to help make these educators more collaborative and able to bridge the classroom with the outside world. This bridge promotes ongoing, lifelong learning, which in turn can help the national goal of greater scientific literacy.
This study provided insight into the thinking involved in the learners’ growth as they converted theory presented in course materials into practice. Through an iterative process of reviewing the course generated content, I was able to piece through the many layers of this two year long program to examine the growth of these individuals over time.
While all participants showed growth completing the certificate program, those who could fully invest themselves in the experiences seemed to have gained the most. These cases indicate the Informal Science Institutions Environmental Education Graduate Certificate Program was effective at enhancing the careers of formal and informal science educators. Additionally, it suggests informal science educators, although busy with their professional obligations and personal lives, can be successful in a formal graduate program designed to meet ISE needs as explicated in Learning Science in Informal Environments: People, Places, and Pursuits (Bell, Lewenstein, Shouse, & Feder, 2009). The emergent model indicating connections among a person’s personal life, professional life, and graduate study may also have implications for other professionals desiring to enroll in graduate school. For example, science teachers in university graduate programs may also benefit from applying this model to their lives.

Seasonal fluxes of meltwater control ice-flow processes across the Greenland Ice Sheet ablation zone and subglacial discharge at marine-terminating outlet glaciers. With the increase in annual ice sheet meltwater production observed over recent decades and predicted into future decades, understanding mechanisms driving the hourly to decadal impact of meltwater on ice flow is critical for predicting Greenland Ice Sheet dynamic mass loss. This thesis investigates a wide range of meltwater-driven processes using empirical and theoretical methods for a region of the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet. I begin with an examination of the seasonal and annual ice flow record for the region using in situ observations of ice flow from a network of Global Positioning System (GPS) stations. Annual velocities decrease over the seven-year time-series at a rate consistent with the negative trend in annual velocities observed in neighboring regions. Using observations from the same GPS network, I next determine the trigger mechanism for rapid drainage of a supraglacial lake. In three consecutive years, I find precursory basal slip and uplift in the lake basin generates tensile stresses that promote hydrofracture beneath the lake. As these precursors are likely associated with the introduction of meltwater to the bed through neighboring moulin systems, our results imply that lakes may be less able to drain in the less crevassed, interior regions of the ice sheet. Expanding spatial scales to the full ablation zone, I then use a numerical model of subglacial hydrology to test whether model-derived effective pressures exhibit the theorized inverse relationship with melt-season ice sheet surface velocities. Finally, I pair near-ice fjord hydrographic observations with modeled and observed subglacial discharge for the Saqqardliup sermia-Sarqardleq Fjord system. I find evidence of two types of glacially modified waters whose distinct properties and locations in the fjord align with subglacial discharge from two prominent subcatchments beneath Saqqardliup sermia. Continued observational and theoretical work reaching across discipline boundaries is required to further narrow our gap in understanding the forcing mechanisms and magnitude of Greenland Ice Sheet dynamic mass loss.

One of the biggest opportunities for this consumer goods company today is reducing retail stockouts at its Direct Store Delivery (DSD) customers via pre-selling, which represents approximately 70% of the company's total sales volume. But reducing retail stock-outs is becoming constantly more challenging with an ever-burgeoning number of SKUs due to new product introductions and packaging innovations. The main tool this consumer goods company uses to combat retail stock-outs is the pre-sell handheld, which the company provides to all field sales reps. The handheld runs proprietary software developed by this consumer goods company that creates suggested orders based on a number of factors including: * Baseline forecast (specific to store-item combination) * Seasonality effects (i.e., higher demand for products during particular seasons) * Promotional effects (i.e., lift created from sale prices) * Presence of in-store displays (i.e., more space for product than just shelf space) * Weekday effects (i.e., selling more on weekends when most people shop) * Holiday effects (i.e., higher demand for products at holidays) * Inventory levels on the shelves and in the back room * In-transit orders (i.e., orders that may already be on their way to the customer) The more accurate that the suggested orders are, the fewer retail stock-outs will occur. This project seeks to increase the accuracy of the consumer demand forecast, and ultimately the suggested orders, by improving the baseline forecast and accounting for the effect of cannibalization on demand.

Global warming has led to a significant increase in Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) melt and runoff since 1990, resulting in escalated export of fresh water and associated sediment to the surrounding North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Similar to alpine glacial systems, surface meltwater on ice sheet surface drains to the base (subglacial) where it joins a drainage system and can become chemically enriched from its origin as dilute snow- and ice-melt. In this thesis, I examine the interdependence of glacial hydrology and biogeochemical cycling in terms of export of carbon and iron from the Greenland ice sheet. I develop a new isotope mixing-model to quantify water source contributions to the bulk meltwater discharge draining a GrIS outlet glacier. Results illustrate (a) the new application of a naturally occurring radioisotope (radon-222) as a quantitative tracer for waters stored at the glacier bed, and (b) the seasonal evolution of the subglacial drainage network from a delayed-flow to a quick-flow system. Model results also provide the necessary hydrological context to interpret and quantify glacially-derived organic carbon and iron fluxes. I combine bulk- and molecular-level studies of subglacial organic carbon to show that GrIS discharge exports old (radiocarbon depleted), labile organic matter. Similar investigations of dissolved and particulate iron reveal that GrIS discharge may be a significant flux of labile iron to the North Atlantic Ocean during the summer meltseason. Both carbon and iron are subject to proglacial processing prior to export to the marine environment, and exhibit strong seasonal variability in correlation with the subglacial drainage evolution. Low, chemically concentrated fluxes characterize the spring discharge, whereas higher, chemically dilute fluxes typify the summer discharge. Collectively, this thesis provides some of the first descriptions and flux estimates of carbon and iron, key elements in ocean biogeochemical cycles, in GrIS meltwater runoff.

O funcionamento diferencial do item ocorre quando um item é aplicado a dois grupos de alunos com mesma habilidade cognitiva e esses grupos obtêm desempenhos diferenciados ao responderem a esse item, levando um grupo a apresentar melhores resultados que o outro. O presente estudo levou em consideração grupos de alunos do sexo feminino e do masculino de diferentes grupos raciais e alunos de regiões distintas dos Estados do Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais. Os resultados estatísticos obtidos entre dois grupos de alunos podem demonstrar que um grupo está sendo beneficiado em relação ao outro. A importância de realizar a análise do funcionamento diferencial – DIF– dos itens nos diferentes grupos de alunos se justifica, para que a proficiência estimada seja de boa qualidade, e os resultados possam ser adequadamente equalizados. Pode também apontar uma diferenciação pedagógica entre as regiões escolares, devido a uma maior exposição ao tema ou maior ênfase curricular, diferenças culturais associadas a diferenças sócio-econômicas, ou diagnosticar deficiências pedagógicas existentes. O objetivo da pesquisa é identificar e analisar os itens de Língua Portuguesa, especificamente das 3ª, 4a e 5ª séries do Ensino Fundamental, referentes aos testes aplicados em 2005 pelo Programa Nova Escola e pelo Simave/Proeb, que apresentaram funcionamento diferencial, segundo sua dificuldade, para alunos de diferentes regiões e com diferenças de gênero e raça, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais. Inicialmente, apresentou-se uma revisão histórica da avaliação em larga escala no Brasil e dos principais programas de avaliação executados nos Estados; sem pretensão de esgotar o assunto, alguns métodos de medidas em avaliação educacional em larga escala e a construção da escala de habilidades foram descritos. A seguir, procurou-se descrever o Funcionamento Diferencial do Item – DIF, os principais métodos para sua detecção e sua evolução histórica. Posteriormente, identificou-se o Funcionamento Diferencial-DIF em itens do Programa Nova Escola e do Simave/Proeb, foram classificados os encontrados e que geraram hipóteses para explicar o DIF. No presente estudo constatou-se que nem todos os itens diagnosticados com DIF são ruins para efeito de avaliação, pois eles podem trazer informações importantes para diagnóstico do sistema educacional do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e de Minas Gerais; por intermédio deles, podem-se diagnosticar as deficiências curriculares, indícios de discriminações raciais ou diversidades culturais. Assim, nem sempre o procedimento mais adequado é a sua retirada dos testes.
The operation of the item gap occurs when an item is applied to two groups of students with cognitive ability and these same groups get different performances to respond to that item, leading a group to produce better results than the other. This study took into account groups of students were female and male from different racial groups and students from different regions of the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. The statistical results obtained between two groups of students can demonstrate that a group is being received in relation to the other. The importance of conducting an analysis of the functioning differential - DIF-of items in different groups of students is justified, so that the estimated proficiency is of good quality, and results can be adequately equalizados. It may also indicate a differentiation between the regions educational school, due to greater exposure to the subject or greater emphasis curriculum, cultural differences associated with socio-economic differences, or diagnose existing educational deficiencies. The objective of the survey is to identify and analyse the items of Portuguese Language, specifically the 3, 4th and 5 th series of elementary school, regarding the tests applied in 2005 by the New School Program and the Simave / Proeb, which showed differential operation, according to their difficulty For students from different regions and with differences in gender and race in the state of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. Initially, presented to a review of historical assessment on a large scale in Brazil and the core program implemented in the evaluation; without pretension to exhaust the subject, some methods of measures in educational evaluation on a large scale and the scale of construction skills were described . Then, sought to describe the operation Differential Item - DIF, the main methods for its detection and its historical development. Subsequently, identified as the Operation Differential-DIF items in the Programme and the New School Simave / Proeb, were classified and that those found generated hypotheses to explain the DIF. In this study it was found that not all items are diagnosed with DIF bad for the purpose of evaluation, because they can provide important information for diagnosis of the educational system of the State of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, through them, you can diagnose learning disabilities, evidence of racial discrimination or cultural diversity. So, not always the most appropriate procedure is the withdrawal of its tests.

Background: Effective testing in pre-licensure nursing programs is a challenge in nursing education. Implementing evidence-based test development is essential to successful assessment of students’ competence and preparation for licensure. Purpose: Identifying the beliefs, attitudes and values of nursing faculty will contribute to the use of best practices in student assessments, ultimately contributing to increased retention of competent students and increasing the workforce within the healthcare industry. Theoretical Framework: This study is based on Rokeach’s theory of beliefs, attitudes and values. Methods: A quantitative descriptive research methodology was used in this study using survey data collection. A purposive, non-probability, convenience sample was the sampling strategy. The instrument utilized was developed and validated in a previous study and additional researcher-developed items were added. These additional items were field tested for readability and structure by current nursing educators. Results: The results revealed that nursing faculty are not consistent with utilizing evidence-based test development practices within their nursing programs. The beliefs and attitudes identified from the data indicate a concern with the understanding and confidence towards evidence-based practices. Several challenges were identified in implementing test development practices such as addressing linguistic and cultural biases, faculty time constraints, and utilization of test banks. Conclusions: Identifying faculty beliefs, attitudes, and values of evidence-based test development practices offers insight into the challenges facing nursing faculty, nursing programs and nursing students. These challenges affect and influence the retention and persistence of nursing students in prelicensure programs which ultimately affects diversity in the nursing workforce.

The objectives of this research were to investigate the experiences of adult basic education and training educators and learners in their teaching and learning centres; and to develop a humanistic programme infused with Batho-Pele
principles for use in adult basic education and training in South Africa. Both the literature review and the qualitative empirical research methods were used to achieve these objectives. The literature review revealed that Batho-Pele is a South African public service initiative to get public servants to be service orientated, to strive for excellence in service delivery and to commit to continuous service delivery improvement. It allows South African citizens to hold public servants accountable for the level of services they deliver. These two statements make it clear that Batho-Pele is not an "add-on" activity, but it is a way of delivering services by putting citizens at the centre of public service planning and operations, which also means that Batho-Pele seeks to include all citizens for the achievement of a better-life-for-all through services and programmes of a democratic nature. The literature review also revealed that Batho-Pele encapsulates ubuntu/botho ideals. Interdependence, communalism, sensitivity towards others and caring for others are some of the aspects of ubuntu as a way of life. The community and belonging to a community is part of the essence of traditional African human life. Humanness is very important in Batho-Pele and Ubuntu way of life in the sense of seeing human needs, interests and dignity as fundamental to human existence. It was evident from the literature review proceedings that traditional Africans believed that these ideals are communally accepted and desirable ethical standards that a person acquires throughout his/her life. From the foregoing paragraph it is clear that for Batho-Pele service to succeed in communities, management culture in adult basic education and training centres in communities has to be changed to accommodate Batho-Pele as a way of life. This means that adult basic education and training centres should take stock of their educational values, as well as behaviours
and attitudes of people they serve. In this way, adult basic education and training centres would then be able to take necessary steps to prepare their educators for the revitalized Batho-Pele Culture of responsiveness, efficiency and effectiveness in delivering services to the adult learners. This research was conducted from an andragogical (an approach to education and training) based on assumptions of learner-as-adult) and ubuntugogical (an approach that emphasizes African way of life that promotes the common good of society and includes humanness as an essential element of human growth. An essential element of human growth, according to this approach, is that the community always comes first. The individual is born out of and into the community, therefore will always be part of the community) paradigms. A humanistic programme infused with Batho-Pele principles for use in adult basic education and training in South Africa was developed.Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2008.

El Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar Qali Warma, es un programa social que
viene implementando el Gobierno Peruano a través del Ministerio de Inclusión Social,
desde el 2012, con la finalidad de asegurar una provisión balanceada de alimentos de
calidad para los escolares del nivel inicial y primario de instituciones educativas públicas
con niveles de pobreza.
Como es de conocimiento, la erradicación del hambre es uno de los objetivos del milenio
y la atención alimentaria sobre todo de los escolares está considerada en la mayoría de
políticas públicas de diversos países, para obtener una educación de calidad.
Considerando la finalidad del programa en nuestro país y asociando a los niveles de
educación alcanzados a nivel mundial, el presente trabajo tiene por finalidad conocer el
desarrollo actual del programa Qali Warma en la institución educativa Daniel Alcides
Carrión en el caserío de Mala Vida, en la provincia de Sechura, región Piura para realizar
un diagnóstico y conocer los aspectos positivos y negativos y analizar los factores que
dificultan su óptima implementación.
El desarrollo de este trabajo de investigación consideró aplicar herramientas de recojo de
datos, teniendo como fuentes de información a diversos actores involucrados, con el
objetivo de identificar una versión directa y conocer la relevancia o el nivel de influencia de
los factores del programa en el rendimiento académico de los niños y niñas de la
población en mención.
La investigación ha determinado aspectos relevantes para la Gerencia Social y ha
permitido conocer dimensiones más minuciosas respecto a factores limitantes del entorno
donde se ejecuta el programa, tales como: Deficiente infraestructura, falta de acceso a
servicios básicos, falta de práctica de buenos hábitos de higiene, etc; los mismos que
generan condiciones de desventaja para el óptimo desarrollo del programa Qali Warma y
en consecuencia dificultan el aporte al mejoramiento educativo, en zonas de condiciones
similares a Mala Vida, donde la pobreza es extrema y las condiciones de sobrevivencia
son muy restringidas. Es así que con estas condiciones se proponen alternativas para
mejorar la implementación de este programa y cooperar con sus objetivos.The National Qali Warma School Feeding Program is a social program that the Peruvian Government has been implementing through the Ministry of Social Inclusion, since 2012, in order to ensure a balanced supply of quality food for schoolchildren at the initial level. primary school of public educational institutions with poverty levels. As is known, the eradication of hunger is one of the objectives of the millennium and food attention, especially of school children, is considered in most public policies of different countries, to obtain a quality education. Considering the purpose of the program in our country and associating the levels of education reached worldwide, this work aims to know the current development of the program in the Daniel Alcides Carrión educational institution in the hamlet of Mala Vida, in the province of Sechura and make a diagnosis to know the positive and negative aspects and analyze the factors that hinder its optimal implementation. The development of this research work considered applying data collection tools, having as sources of information to diverse actors involved, with the objective of identifying a direct version and knowing the relevance or level of influence of the program factors in the performance of the boys and girls of the population in question. The research has determined relevant aspects for Social Management and has allowed to know more detailed dimensions regarding limiting factors of the environment where the program is executed, such as: Poor infrastructure, lack of access to basic services, lack of good hygiene practices , etc; the same ones that generate disadvantageous conditions for the optimal development of the Qali Warma program and consequently, they make difficult the contribution to the educational improvement, in zones of similar conditions to Mala Vida, where the poverty is extreme and the conditions of survival are very restricted. Thus, with these conditions, alternatives are proposed to improve the implementation of this program, cooperate with its objectives

El amor en su sentido verdadero, es querer el bien del otro, buscando su plenitud, reconociendo al tú como ser persona. Sin embargo, se observa desde nuestra experiencia docente que, muchos padres de familia, no saben la verdadera concepción del amor que deben tener como personas, lo cual los lleva a identificar el amor como puro romanticismo, erotismo, utilitarismo, indiferencia y permisivismo. En este sentido, el estudio planteó el problema: ¿Cómo influye un programa de cine fórum, con contenidos referidos al verdadero sentido del amor, en los padres de familia de la I.E. “Abel Carbajal Pérez” - Chota? Teniendo como objetivo general determinar el grado de influencia de la aplicación de un Programa Cine Fórum para educar el verdadero sentido del amor. El trabajo de investigación es de tipo cuantitativo, ya que se trató de medir la variable verdadero sentido del amor teniendo en cuenta sus dimensiones. El diseño es preexperimental, con un solo grupo conformado por 20 padres de familia, a quienes se aplicó el pretest y postest. Con respecto a la educación del amor, los resultados del pretest muestran que el 95% están en un nivel medio y el 5% en un nivel bajo; y en el postest el 100 % se encuentra en un nivel alto. En conclusión, los resultados después de la aplicación del programa muestran la efectividad del programa, porque se logró mejorar el nivel del verdadero sentido del amor en los padres de familia de la I.E “Abel Carbajal Pérez” – Chota.Tesis

This study has focused on obesity prevention efforts in schools in the United States of America. The study was conducted in two states, Oklahoma and New Hampshire. In New Hampshire, the study was focused on more minor efforts which were the "CSHP", HEAL, Early Sprout, FIT, AFHY, 5210, and Kids CATCH Club. In Oklahoma, the focus on the study was on the program It's All About Kids.
Method: Unstructured interviews and observation, analysis from an national policy document. A total of seventeen interviews conducted, seven of them in New Hampshire and ten in Oklahoma. All interviews were recorded in addition to three in Oklahoma that was written by hand. Observations have been silent during lessons in New Hampshire and It's All About Kids.
Result: New Hampshire: efforts demonstrate an effect; however, it is difficult to get all of them to work in conjunction with the school meals serving, parents involvement and to get the school staff to understand the concept of role models. Oklahoma: The program It’s All About Kids is experiencing them that they have an effect. There is no standardized measurement of the impact. The program has created a higher level of consciousness about the importance of good health and mobility. The program has been difficult to establish a contact with parents and create a higher awareness by the school staff.
Conclusion: These programs show an effect, however, showing them a lack of ownership among parents. To engage and involve parents in the school's work and create a higher awareness about role models for school staff and parents would probably give better results.

Developers of software systems have to communicate about the project they are building. Especially when working in a distributed development team, such as open source projects, developers must use an asynchronous means of communication. Studies tell us that e-mails are, by far, the means of communication mostly used during the distributed development, opposed to instant messaging, commit comments, or code comments. Therefore, we can imagine archives containing development e-mails enclose essential information concerning various entities of the source code. Unfortunately, such information gets lost with time, since relevant e-mails are hard to retrieve. We have developed REmail, an Eclipse plug-in, to integrate e-mail communication in the IDE. It allows developers to seamlessly handle source code entities and e-mails concerning the source code, without ever exiting from the IDE. Using lightweight linking techniques, REmail retrieves all the e-mails relevant to the chosen source code entities and makes them available to the developer.

Background: The anti-vaccination movement has gained attention in the media over the last few years, which has revived the debate as to whether parents should vaccinate their children or not. Infections, whose incidence has previously been declining as a result of compliance to national immunization programmes, have made a resurgence and the protection of the society that comes with vaccinations is decreasing. Vaccines are one of the most cost-efficient measures available to health care to prevent spreading of diseases and decrease mortality at the population level. Aim: To study the factors that influence parents’ decisions not to vaccinate their children in accordance with national immunization programmes to increase the understanding of these decisions. Method: A scoping review of articles retrieved from the databases PubMed and CINAHL. A content analysis was used to interpret content and create context. The result was based on 23 articles. Results: Several reasons why parents don't vaccinate their children were uncovered. A fear of adverse effects and a lack of trust in health care, authorities and vaccines were prominent reasons for vaccination refusal. Where parents gathered information, how they defined health and culture or religion where other factors that influenced the decision not to vaccinate. Conclusion: The main findings indicate a lack of trust in authorities, health care or vaccines among parents. Gathering information from the internet and media have contributed to ignorance about and a fear of the effects of vaccines. Health care staff need to improve their person-centered care and adapt information about vaccines to the recipient.Bakgrund: Antivaccinationsrörelsen har fått medial uppmärksamhet de senaste åren, vilket har aktualiserat debatten huruvida föräldrar ska vaccinera eller inte vaccinera sina barn. Infektioner, vars utbredning tidigare minskat till följd av följsamhet till vaccinationsprogram, har åter fått fäste och det samhällsskydd som följer vaccinationer har minskat. Vaccin är en kostnadseffektiv åtgärd inom hälso- och sjukvården för att förhindra smittspridning och minska mortaliteten på befolkningsnivå. Syfte: Undersöka faktorer som påverkar föräldrars beslut att inte vaccinera sina barn enligt nationella vaccinationsprogram för att öka förståelsen för dessa beslut. Metod: Scoping review baserad på artiklar hämtade ur databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Innehållsanalys tillämpades för att förstå innehåll och skapa sammanhang. Resultatet baseras på 23 artiklar. Resultat: I resultatet framkom olika skäl till att föräldrar inte vaccinerar sina barn. Rädsla för biverkningar och bristande tillit till sjukvården, myndigheter och vaccin var framträdande orsaker till vaccinvägran. Var föräldrar inhämtade information, hur de definierade hälsa samt kultur och religion var andra faktorer som påverkade beslutet att inte vaccinera. Slutsats: Resultatets primära fynd baseras på någon form av bristande tillit till myndigheter, sjukvården eller vaccin hos föräldrarna. Internet och media som informationskälla har bidragit till felaktiga uppfattningar om och rädsla för vacciners effekt. Sjukvården måste bli bättre på personcentrerad vård och individanpassa information om vaccin.

Health provider student characteristics and professional program were evaluated as predictors of attitudes toward inter-professional (IP) teams. Sixteen months after completing a self-report battery of demographic and non-ability trait measures, participants completed a second survey (N = 213), assessing components of attitudes toward IP teams. Non-ability traits showed comparable within-program predictive validities for affective reactions toward IP behavior. Additionally, results indicated the incremental predictive validity of trait Dominance and Motivational Inter-professional Team Intelligence, over professional program, for IP attitudes and affective reactions toward IP behavior, respectively. The independent, relative, and joint roles of non-ability individual differences and professional program as determinants of IP training outcomes are discussed.
