SL.se från användarens perspektiv : En granskning av Storstockholms Lokaltrafiks hemsida / SL.se from the perspective of the user : A study of SL website: Stockholm Public TransportAyranci, Erhan, Anderblad, Hannes January 2009 (has links)
<p>This study is a thorough comparison between what people think about the website www.sl.se, which is a Swedish web-based travel planner for Stockholm metropolitan public transport (such as subways, busses and suburban trains), and how these views compares to the design of the actual website itself. The travel planner offers a wide range of functions and services for their targeted audience to find the fastest route between their current location and their destination. These functions are for example real time information on hold ups and malfunctions on different travel routes, and an interactive map of specific destinations so that the user can get a clear view of the area and nearby traffic stops. But how much does the average user care for these functions, and how often are they used on an average visit? What are the users’ motivations when they visit the site? Earlier research suggested that there are services and functions on this website that are useful and well crafted, but that some people may not be aware of. This report aims to find out whether it is possible that the web designers’ purpose for the site might differ from the actual users.The conclusion from this study showed us that SL got two different groups of users; the first group can be described as more open and will spend time to explore options and functions whenever it suits them. The second group however was there to use the travel planner and nothing else. We have come to this conclusion after analyzing each person’s answer that were given on the questionnaire and connected them to a number of theories.</p>

Quantity vs Quality : A quantitative study of the determinants of audit qualityForman, Max January 2018 (has links)
Building on the work of Pierce & Sweeney’s study from 2004 and their Quality Threatening Behavior-model (QTB) in conjunction with Chang & Hwang (2003), this study is an explanatory quantitative study into the determinants of audit quality. I aim to determine whether an overemphasis on customer retention can serve as determinant of audit quality. The study targeted contemporary ’Big Four’ auditors in Sweden. Data was gathered by means of a questionnaire constructed according to the QTB model as outlined by Pierce and Sweeney with the addition of a customer retention factor. Challenges involved in the study included translating the instrument employed as well as making comparisons across regional contexts. For these reasons, the study was furthermore limited to larger city firms. The conclusions of the study found that customer retention in fact could serve as a determinant of audit quality. A series of regression models, with slight alterations to account for robustness vulnerabilities, were tested, all of which pointed towards similar results: that customer retention indeed could constitute a material improvement to the QTB model. A closer investigation confirmed that these results are significant, and that the vulnerabilities feared were either contained or within tolerable range in the final model. An unexpected finding in the study was the very high explanatory power of the model derived and the small differences generated by the shift in cultural context. The high explanatory value is primarily attributed to the model already having high explanatory value as well as the questionnaire being very clear-cut. The small impact of cultural differences is explained by the fact that the Big Four are global firms and there is a large degree of mobility within the firms hence they are relatively homogenous. Ultimately, no final conclusions should be drawn, yet since the results are so strong one can begin to suspect that customer retention indeed does matter to audit quality. Hence, the author recommends further studies on this topic.

Aplicação do questionário de mudança cognitiva como método para rastreio de demências / Questionnaire of cognitive change as a method for dementia screeningDamin, Antonio Eduardo 12 May 2011 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: Apesar de existir uma ampla variedade de testes para detecção de demências, muitos deles possuem limitações para a aplicação na prática clínica, principalmente em cenários de atenção primária à saúde. Com o intuito de se obter um questionário de rápida aplicação, adequado à realidade de nossa população e que tenha uma acurácia adequada foi criado o questionário de mudança cognitiva (QMC). O QMC foi desenvolvido por profissionais da área cognitiva através da seleção de questões com foco na detecção de estágios inicias das demências. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar se a aplicação do Questionário de Mudança Cognitiva (QMC) pode distinguir com boa acurácia indivíduos normais daqueles com Comprometimento Cognitivo Leve (CCL) e/ou demências em estágios iniciais, comparando-o com testes cognitivos utilizados na prática clínica, e desenvolver, a partir do questionário inicial com 22 questões, um final com 8 questões que mostre boa acurácia na identificação de indivíduos com demências em estágios iniciais, para que seja utilizado na prática clínica como um instrumento de rastreio cognitivo. MÉTODOS: Trabalho prospectivo, realizado de abril de 2007 a setembro de 2010, onde foram avaliados indivíduos encaminhados de forma aleatória e sem diagnóstico prévio ao Centro de Referência em Distúrbios Cognitivos (CEREDIC/HCFMUSP). No total, 123 indivíduos foram examinados, sendo 42 controles, 40 com CCL e 41 com demências leves (CDR=1). A avaliação foi realizada através de testes baseados em desempenho do indivíduo como o Mini Exame do Estado Mental, o CAMCOG e a bateria breve de rastreio cognitivo, além de testes aplicados ao informante como o questionário de atividades funcionais de Pfeffer(QFAP), o inventário neuropsiquiátrico, o IQ-CODE, o Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) e o QMC. O QMC foi formado a partir da seleção de 22 questões que especialistas com experiência na área cognitiva achavam serem úteis para o rastreio de demência em estágios precoces. O diagnóstico final, utilizado como padrão-ouro nas análises estatísticas e comparações, foi realizado por consenso de uma banca formada por clínicos atuantes na área cognitiva e com critérios baseados no DSM-IV e NINCDS/ADRDA. RESULTADOS: O QMC com 22 questões mostrou ter boa acurácia no diagnóstico entre indivíduos normais daqueles com alterações cognitivas ou demências leves. A partir deste questionário, foram selecionadas, através de modelos estatísticos, as oito questões com maior poder de discriminação entre os grupos avaliados (controles, CCL e Demências). As curvas ROC relacionadas à versão final do QMC com oito questões mostraram valores que variaram de ROC=0,892 (comparação entre CCL e demências) até ROC=0,999 (comparação entre controles com demências), demonstrando boa acurácia na diferenciação entre os grupos. O QMC8 foi o teste com a melhor acurácia dentre todos os realizados, ao se avaliar os valores da área sob a curva (ROC) para a diferenciação entre indivíduos Controles daqueles com alterações cognitivas associadas ao CCL ou às demências. A correlação de Spearman do QMC8 com o diagnóstico final foi de r=0,861, menor apenas em relação ao CDR. O QMC8 mostrou ter boa correlação os testes aplicados no presente estudo e que já são validados para o diagnóstico de demências, além de apresentar uma adequada consistência interna, com alfa de Cronbach de 0,876. CONCLUSÃO: Tanto o QMC22, quanto o QMC8 são testes de boa acurácia para a diferenciação entre indivíduos normais daqueles com CCL e demências em estágios iniciais. O QMC8 apresentou boa correlação com testes já utilizados e validados em nosso meio e adequada consistência interna. Assim, como é um questionário breve, com apenas 8 itens, parece adequado para uso como instrumento de rastreio cognitivo em nosso meio / BACKGROUND: Although there are a wide variety of tests to detect dementia, many of them have limitations for application in clinical practice, especially in settings of primary health care. In order to achieve rapid implementation of a questionnaire, adapted to the reality of our population and has an adequate accuracy was created the questionnaire of cognitive change (QMC). The QMC was developed by professionals through the cognitive selection of questions focused on detecting early stages of dementia. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether implementation of the Questionnaire of Cognitive Change (QMC) can distinguish with good accuracy normal subjects from those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and / or dementia in the early stages, compared with the cognitive tests used in clinical practice, and develop from the initial questionnaire with 22 questions, a final with 8 questions that show good accuracy in identifying individuals with dementia in the early stages, to be used in clinical practice as a tools for cognitive screening. METHODS: Prospective study conducted from April 2007 to September 2010 were evaluated individuals randomically referred and without a previous diagnosis to the Reference Center for Cognitive Disorders (CEREDIC / FMUSP). In total, 123 individuals were examined, 42 controls, 40 with MCI and 41 with mild dementia (CDR = 1). The evaluation was performed using tests based on individual performance as the Mini Mental State Examination, the CAMCOG and brief cognitive screening battery, and testing as applied to the informant questionnaire on functional activities of Pfeffer (QFAP), the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, IQCODE, the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and QMC. The QMC was formed from the selection of 22 questions that experts with experience in cognitive evaluation thought to be useful for screening of dementia in early stages. The final diagnosis used as the gold standard in the statistical analysis and comparisons, was performed by consensus of a panel formed by clinicians working in the cognitive settings and criteria based on DSM-IV and NINCDS / ADRDA. RESULTS: The QMC with 22 questions showed have good diagnostic accuracy in normal subjects from those with mild cognitive impairment and / or dementia. From this questionnaire, were selected through statistical models, the eight questions with the highest discrimination power among the groups (controls, MCI and dementia). The ROC curves related to the final version of the QMC with eight questions showed values ranging from ROC = 0.892 (comparison between MCI and dementia) to ROC = 0.999 (comparing controls with dementia), showing good accuracy in differentiating between groups. The QMC8 was the test with the best accuracy among all done, we evaluated the values of area under the curve (ROC) to differentiate between controls individuals those with cognitive impairment associated with dementia or MCI. The Spearman correlation of QMC8 with the final diagnosis was r = 0.861. The QMC8 showed a good correlation between the tests used in this study and that are already validated for the diagnosis of dementia, and present an adequate internal consistency with Cronbach\'s alpha of 0.876. CONCLUSIONS: Both QMC22 and QMC8 were tests with good accuracy for differentiating between normal subjects from those with mild cognitive impairment and dementia in early stages. The QMC8 showed good correlation with tests already used and validated in our environment and adequate internal consistency. As it is a brief questionnaire, with only 8 items, it seems appropriate to use as a tool for cognitive screening in our midst

'Suicide Shouldn't Be a Secret" An Assessment of Adolescent Coping Strategies following a Suicide Prevention ProgramSenatore, Lucia-Raffaela 01 November 2006 (has links)
Student Number : 0318213N -
MCCP research report -
School of Psychology -
Faculty of Humanities / The following study aimed to assess coping strategies in adolescents following a
suicide prevention program conducted by the South African Depression and Anxiety
Group. The study aimed to assess whether there was a change in coping strategies in
adolescents following the suicide prevention program. Suicide ideation was measured
using the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Scale (PANSI) and Coping
Strategies was measured using the Coping Across Situations Questionnaire (CASQ).
Data was collected on 74 individuals in Grade 11 (26 males and 48 females). It was
found that positive suicide ideation was not significantly different for males and
females before the intervention, while females scored higher than males on the
negative suicide ideation scale, indicating that females have more thoughts about
suicide than males. There was no significant difference between positive and
negative suicide ideation scores for both females and males following the suicide
prevention program. The results further indicate that Active Coping; Internal Coping
and Withdrawal Coping were not significantly different for boys and girls in the pretest,
as well as in the post test. A negative relationship appears to exist between post
PANSI negative ideation and Active Coping, which means that individuals who use
more active coping have fewer thoughts about suicide. Active Coping is strongly
related to Internal Coping and moderately related to Withdrawal Coping. Also,
Internal coping is moderately related to Withdrawal Coping. The implications are that
caregivers and professionals can begin to assess individual adolescent suicide ideation
levels through an understanding of the individual’s coping strategy. Further research
should be conducted in other socio-economic regions and rural and urban areas could be compared to get a holistic view of coping strategies and suicide ideation levels in
South Africa, as a country.
