Comparing Discrete Simulation And System Dynamics: Modeling An Anti-Insurgency Influence Operation, Wayne W. Wakeland, Una E. Medina
Wayne W. Wakeland
This paper contrasts the tradeoffs of modeling the same dynamic problem at a micro scale and at a macro scale of analysis: discrete system simulation (DS) versus continuous system simulation or system dynamics (SD). Both are employed to model the influence of entertainment education on terrorist system decay, with implications for field application. Each method optimizes different design, scope/scale, data availability/accuracy, parameter settings, and system sensitivities. Whether the research served by the computer model is applied or theoretical, DS tends to be useful for understand low-level individual unit/step influences on system change over time, whereas SD tends to shine when …

The Emlen Scales: A Packet Of Scales For Measuring The Quality Of Child Care From A Parent's Point Of View, Arthur C. Emlen
Arthur C. Emlen
Presented and reviewed in a compendium of 35 sets of measures of quality of child care, published by Child Trends. The so-called “Emlen scales” are the only parent measures of childcare quality in the national compendium— assessments based on detailed perceptions of the care of their own child. The other 34 sets of measures are based on professional standards, observations, and ratings that have questionable relevance to the vast diversity of childcare arrangements. This document was prepared under Contract # HHSP233200500198U with the Administration for Children and Families, U S Department of Health and Human Services. Prepared for: Ivelisse Martinez-Beck, …
