Assessment During The Early And Middle Years: Getting The Basics Right, Ken Rowe Jul 2006

Assessment During The Early And Middle Years: Getting The Basics Right, Ken Rowe

Student learning processes

Following a contextual introduction and a brief discussion of the fundamental importance of monitoring growth, this paper draws from emerging evidence-based research findings and ‘state-of-the art’ practice in assessment and reporting of students’ developmental and learning progress. The paper argues that the monitoring of individual progress over time requires both diagnostic and developmental assessments of such progress on well-constructed empirical scales (or quantitative ‘maps’) that are qualitatively described. The use of such ‘maps’ enables early detection of potential ‘risk factors’, and the monitoring of both individuals and groups across the years of schooling. Such ‘maps’ and their reporting products constitute …

Ten Steps Applied To Development And Evaluation Of Process-Based Biogeochemical Models Of Estuaries, Barbara J. Robson, Ian T. Webster, David P. Hamilton, Terence Chan, Teemu Kokkonen Jul 2006

Ten Steps Applied To Development And Evaluation Of Process-Based Biogeochemical Models Of Estuaries, Barbara J. Robson, Ian T. Webster, David P. Hamilton, Terence Chan, Teemu Kokkonen

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The procedures involved in model development may be set out ten-step process, beginning with defining the purpose of the model and ending with evaluation of the appropriateness and utility of the completed model. This process, recently outlined by Jakerman et al. [2006], is often iterative as model development is a continuous process that refines and improves the indented capacity of the model. Here, we show how the ten steps of model development are relevant to process-based biogeochemical modeling of aquatic systems, using examples from two case studies: a model of phytoplankton succession and nutrient concentrations in the Swan-Canning Estuary (Western …


Moira-Plus: A Decision Support System For The Management Of Complex Fresh Water Ecosystems Contaminated By Radionuclides And Heavy Metals, Luigi Monte, Lars Håkanson, D. Hofman, John Brittain, Eduardo Gallego, Antonio Jimenez, Giacomo Angeli Jul 2006

Moira-Plus: A Decision Support System For The Management Of Complex Fresh Water Ecosystems Contaminated By Radionuclides And Heavy Metals, Luigi Monte, Lars Håkanson, D. Hofman, John Brittain, Eduardo Gallego, Antonio Jimenez, Giacomo Angeli

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The accidental release of radioactive substances into the environment leads to the necessity of applying suitable countermeasures for the restoration of the polluted environment. However, despite their obvious benefits, such interventions may result in detrimental effects of economic, ecological and social nature that must be carefully evaluated. MOIRA–PLUS is a PC-based user-friendly, Computerised Decision Support System (CDSS) that helps decision makers to choose optimal countermeasure strategies for different kinds of aquatic ecosystems and contamination scenarios. CDSS MOIRA-PLUS is based on: a) Validated models to evaluate the behaviour of radionuclides in contaminated water bodies and biota and to assess the effect …


Impact Assessment Of Ensembles Of Small Reservoirs In Semi-Arid Regions., Nick Van De Giesen, Marc Andreini, Annette Huber-Lee, Aidan Senzanje, Jens Liebe, Lineu Rodrigues, Philippe Cecchi, Winston Andah, Eline Boelee, Tonya Schuetz Jul 2006

Impact Assessment Of Ensembles Of Small Reservoirs In Semi-Arid Regions., Nick Van De Giesen, Marc Andreini, Annette Huber-Lee, Aidan Senzanje, Jens Liebe, Lineu Rodrigues, Philippe Cecchi, Winston Andah, Eline Boelee, Tonya Schuetz

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

In the semi-arid regions of the world, a single small reservoir will, in general, have a positive socio-economic impact on nearby villages. To extend the availability of water collected during the rainy into the dry season has advantages in terms of irrigation, household water supply, fishery, and cattle. Large dams tend to have many negative impacts (displacement of people, large scale destruction of ecosystems, poor governance, etc.) that small reservoirs do not have. It is, therefore, not surprising that small reservoirs are seen by governments, international donors, and NGO's as an important means to improve rural livelihoods. In Burkina Faso, …


Neural Identification Of Fuzzy Anomalies In Pressurized Water Systems, Joaquín Izquierdo, R. Pérez, P. A. López, P. L. Iglesias Jul 2006

Neural Identification Of Fuzzy Anomalies In Pressurized Water Systems, Joaquín Izquierdo, R. Pérez, P. A. López, P. L. Iglesias

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The objective of a Water Supply System (WSS) is to convey treated water to consumers through a pressurized network of pipes. A number of meters and gauges are used to take continuous or periodic measurements that are sent via a telemetry system to the control and operation centre and used to monitor the network. Using this typically limited number of measures together with demand predictions the state of the system must be assessed. Suitable state estimation is of paramount importance in diagnosing leaks and other anomalies in WSS. But this task can be really cumbersome, if not unattainable, for human …

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), establishing stringent quality objectives for European basins in the next years, prompts for the development of new tools to evaluate and improve the ecological status over European rivers. The present paper will provide an overview of the main activities carried out in the DECIS subproject within MODELKEY, an European research project, funded by the European Commission, aimed to contribute to the assessment, understanding and prediction of the impacts of environmental toxicants on biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. The main aim of DECIS is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) that includes all project deliverables …

Evaluation Of Serum Immunoglobulins Among Individuals Living Near Six Superfund Sites, Dhelia M. Williamson, Mary C. White, Charles Poole, David Kleinbaum, Robert Vogt, Kari North Jul 2006

Evaluation Of Serum Immunoglobulins Among Individuals Living Near Six Superfund Sites, Dhelia M. Williamson, Mary C. White, Charles Poole, David Kleinbaum, Robert Vogt, Kari North

United States Public Health Resources

Residents living in communities near Superfund sites have expressed concern that releases from these facilities affect their health, including adverse effects on their immune systems. We used data from six cross-sectional studies to evaluate whether people who live near several Superfund sites are more likely to have individual immunoglobulin test results (IgA, IgG, and IgM) below or above the reference range than those who live in comparison areas with no Superfund site. Study participants consisted of target-area residents who lived close to a Superfund site and comparison area residents who were not located near any Superfund or hazardous waste sites. …

The Role Of Higher Education In America: A Spa Or A Smörgåsbord?, Amany Saleh, Marcia Lamkin, David Cox

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

American higher education has a long and rich tradition of seeking higher moral and civic purposes in its endeavors. . . [C]ampuses have been the sites of debate on the critical issues of the day and faculty have sought to provide students with tools for rigorous analysis, critical reflection . . . . Now more than ever, higher education is challenged to educate the leaders of tomorrow and to connect those future leaders with the world of today. (Hollander 1999, v).

The Current Level Of Nursing Knowledge Regarding The Management Of Cardiovascular Disease In Postmenopausal Women, Lynda Smith Hardin Jul 2006

The Current Level Of Nursing Knowledge Regarding The Management Of Cardiovascular Disease In Postmenopausal Women, Lynda Smith Hardin

MSN Research Projects

Cardiovascular disease (CYD) is the single leading cause o f death and a significant cause o f morbidity o f American women. Despite years of research and compelling data indicating that CYD is largely preventable, alarming trends in the prevalence and management o f risk factors in women continue to occur. In 2005, the estimated direct and indirect cost o f CYD was $393.5 billion (American Heart Association [AHA], 2005). Despite the fact that CYD kills more women per year than the next six causes of death combined; only 13% o f women consider CYD to be their greatest health …


Patient Satisfaction With Nurse Practitioner Care In Telemergency, Melissa Henry King Jul 2006

Patient Satisfaction With Nurse Practitioner Care In Telemergency, Melissa Henry King

MSN Research Projects

Recent studies suggest that patient satisfaction has a direct correlation to patient outcome. In today’s healthcare system, satisfaction is the ultimate measure of services rendered from a provider to a consumer. From retail sales to the delivery of healthcare services, satisfaction surveys are highly regarded by the provider of services as a means to correct and improve products or services. A patient who is not satisfied with provided services will seek out providers with whom they gain the greatest amount of satisfaction. Telemergency is a fairly new concept that is growing rapidly in popularity with both hospital administrations and providers. …
