A Guide To Customized Sampling Plans For National Transit Database Reporting, Xuehao Chu, Ike Ubaka Dec 2004

A Guide To Customized Sampling Plans For National Transit Database Reporting, Xuehao Chu, Ike Ubaka

Journal of Public Transportation

For estimating the system total unlinked passenger trips and passenger miles of a fixed~route bus system for the National Transit Database (NTD ), the sampling plans approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) may either oversample or do not yield FTP:s required confidence and precision levels for the specific conditions of a transit agency. This guide helps transit agencies avoid these problems by developing sampling plans customized to their fixed-route bus services. Detailed steps are provided to calculate the statistical variation in passenger miles and unlinked passenger trips and the correlation between them. The sampling plans that transit agencies develop …


Implementing Quality Improvements In Public Transport, Margareta Friman Dec 2004

Implementing Quality Improvements In Public Transport, Margareta Friman

Journal of Public Transportation

This study addresses two questions: (1) What effect does quality improvement have on satisfaction with public transport services? (2) What effect does quality improve~ ment have on passengers' perceived frequency of negative critical incidents? A repre~ sentative sample was used of people 16 to 75 years old in the 13 regions in Sweden that were conducting quality improvements in public transport. Data were collected before and after implementation (n=2797). The before and after samples consisted of independent groups of respondents. The response rate was 54 percent. The main conclusion of the study is that the satisfaction people experience when using …


Waiting For The Bus, Daniel Baldwin Hess, Jeffrey Brown, Donald Shoup Dec 2004

Waiting For The Bus, Daniel Baldwin Hess, Jeffrey Brown, Donald Shoup

Journal of Public Transportation

In a natural experiment, college students riding public transit to UCLA were presented with the opportunity to pay for time savings. They could pay 75t: to travel right away, or wait an average of 5.3 minutes for a free ride. Eighty~six percent of riders chose to wait rather than pay. Their behavior suggests that the dis utility of time spent waiting for a free ride is Jess than $8.50 per hour. Riders overestimated their wait time by a factor of two when it was imposed by the transit system, but accurately estimated their wait time when they chose to wait …

The Decline Of The International Court Of Justice, Eric A. Posner Dec 2004

The Decline Of The International Court Of Justice, Eric A. Posner

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

The International Court of Justice is the judicial organ of the United Nations and the preeminent international court, but its caseload is light and has declined over the long term relative to the number of states. This paper examines evidence of the ICJ’s decline, and analyzes two possible theories for this decline. The first is that states stopped using the ICJ because the judges did not apply the law impartially but favored the interests of their home states. The second is that the ICJ has been the victim of conflicting interests among the states that use and control it.

Faculty Perceptions Of Problem-Based Learning (Pbl) At The International Medical University (Imu), Malaysia, Sushela Devi Somanath, Zoraini Wati Abas, Hirotaka Onishi, Ammu Kutty Radhakrishnan

Journal of Medical Education

Problem-based learning (PBL,) is a worldwide popular educational philosophy but in some institutions, it is considered a revolutionary teaching strategy to implement. The International Medical University (IMU) has utilized PBL as a key delivery tool of its medical programme and to encourage life-long learning amongst it s students. The university has also carried out faculty development in PBL since its inception in 1992. This is in order to improve PBL sessions, make sure faculty understand what is expected of them during these sessions and ensure our students derive the full benefit of PBL.

錄影教學應用於人際溝通訓練之效果, 翠瀅 汪, 陳美津 施, 明宜 吳 Dec 2004

錄影教學應用於人際溝通訓練之效果, 翠瀅 汪, 陳美津 施, 明宜 吳

Journal of Medical Education

除了專業知識與技能,人際溝通技巧亦是醫療專業人員的重要素養之一。為增進學生臨床溝通技巧,成大職能治療系因此在大三接觸臨床實習之前,規劃一個人際溝通的教學單元,以錄影方式進行小組教學與操作評量的課程設計。本研究以修課的31位同學為對象,在教學單元結束後,收集其意見,作為課程實施的檢討。結果發現80.6%~93.5%的同學認為本課程有助於觀察與會談的學習, 48.4%的同學,認為有助於對自我的了解。在教材與教法的學習助益上,依序為他人回饋(96.8%%、錄影教學(90.3%)與教師說明(90.3%)、角色扮演(80.7%)。講義內容的助益最少(58.1%)。雖然部分的同學對拍攝與觀看自己的錄影帶,感到不自在(41.9%,38.7%),半數以上肯定自己在溝通技巧上較前有進步,也較具自信(54.8%~67.7%)。利用錄影為教學媒介,引發學習者經驗的再現、重塑與創造,的確強化了操作與情意的元素的學習。如何應用客觀的評量以了解學生學習是否具備實質成效,需要進一步的教學評量方案設計,此為未來課程改良的努力方向。


論述醫學圖書館員之角色, 玉芬 朱 Dec 2004

論述醫學圖書館員之角色, 玉芬 朱

Journal of Medical Education

醫學圖書館員在臨床醫學教育中是不可或缺的角色。在美國醫學圖書館實施「臨床醫學圖書館員」CML(Clinical Medical Librarian)計畫,實際參與臨床教學活動,提供立即性的醫學文獻與資訊,改善醫療從業人員對病人的照護;並且協助醫學院學生完成臨床訓練。在台灣醫學圖書館員ML(Medical Librarians)的角色,侷限於圖書館內或網頁上,提供各項服務,不參與或支援臨床教學活動。不論CML或ML,他們都是醫學資訊的傳播者、指導者和教育者的角色。本文先簡介美國醫學圖書館實施CML計畫與成效,再陳述國內醫學圖書館員的角色。

Strategic Decision-Making Processes: Beyond The Efficiency-Consensus Tradeoff, Michael A. Roberto Dec 2004

Strategic Decision-Making Processes: Beyond The Efficiency-Consensus Tradeoff, Michael A. Roberto

Management Department Faculty Journal Articles

This study examines how managers make strategic decisions efficiently and simultaneously build the consensus often required to implement decisions successfully. The findings suggest that groups employed 2 critical processes - one substantive/cognitive and the other symbolic/political - to achieve high levels of efficiency and consensus. On the substantive dimension, they gradually structured complex problems by making a series of intermediate choices about particular elements of the decision. On the symbolic dimension, they took steps to preserve the legitimacy of the decision-making process. The present study's findings also imply that the more effective groups treated closure as a process that began …
