The problem of this study was to determine if significant differences in scores attained by students on academic achievement, problem-solving, and attitudes were associated with closed-circuit television observations. More specifically, the problem was resolved into seeking solutions to the following! 1. Will college students' academic achievement be extended through television observations of children in classroom situations? 2. Will college students' ability to solve problems be improved through television observations? 3. Will college students' attitudes toward teacher-pupil relationships be affected through television observations?

In 1972, an instructional television (lTV) course entitled Clothing and Man was formulated by the Clothing, Textiles and Related Art Department in cooperation with the Learning Resources Center at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Discussion groups and a course outline were developed to aid students in learning the required subject matter presented by the lTV lectures. Through these components, and others such as the course syllabus, stated objectives, slides, and textbooks, a systems approach to lTV has been developed. As a component part of a system in this form of educational technology, instructional television is more likely to be an efficient tool for learning. lTV has worked best when it was used as an integral part of the learning activities (Chu & Schramm, 1967; Diamond, 1964). An orientation to learning with television lecture (Hutchinson, 1973) was developed specifically for the course to aid students in studying the subject matter. In the present format of the course, the orientation lecture precedes the presentation of the television lectures. / Master of Science

The researcher attempts to establish how CCTV footage can be used as a surveillance technique, for evidence gained in that way to be admissible in court. To conduct effective investigation, it is important for investigators to be familiar with the application of CCTV footage, its purpose, its benefits and shortfalls. To achieve the goals and objectives of the practice of CCTV footage, investigators must know how to utilise the value of its evidence, and how to use it to identify suspects. The clarification and application to the crime situation, the identification of the perpetrator or suspect of a criminal act is mostly impossible, if CCTV footage is not available to assist in identification and tracing of suspects. / Police Practice / M.

This descriptive study utilized semi-structured interviews and observations to examine the experiences of hospitalized school-age children, and explore the potential of a live, closed-circuit television program as a psychosocial intervention. Among findings, Phase I data from 16 subjects indicates a) concern with painful medical procedures, particularly intraveneous (IV) injections, b) a desire for more information, especially concerning medical equipment, c) a variety of responses to social issues among subjects, d) the importance of activities, and e) the central role of the hospital playroom. Phase II data indicates that live, closed-circuit television can provide ambulatory and room-bound children opportunities for making choices, social interaction, participation, and information on their environment. Conclusions and implications are included.

Setting the closed-circuit television (CCTV) system is one of the strategies for improving the public security. Village chiefs in Taipei have an important political view: To set neighborhood CCTV for crime prevention. As the result of that, the number of neighborhood CCTV in Taipei is the top in Taiwan. However, the village chiefs have neither public right nor the specialty for maintain the CCTV system. In order to conquer the problems: messy cables, lack of funds and privacy issues caused from the neighborhood CCTV, the Taipei City Government make a decision to shift the management rights to the police department. From my studies, I analyze the policy of Taipei CCTV and search for the community safety and privacy issues caused by the neighborhood CCTV. My research cases focused on the related-stakeholders’ opinions to the processing of Taipei CCTV integration. As we focus on that, we can propose better policies to improve the problems we have now. I chose purposive sampling as the way to select the workers in Taipei CCTV integration processing to have in-depth interviews. Moreover, I collected some information of Taipei CCTV from government resources and used literature review methodology with case review to have a descriptive research. The main propose of my studies including (1) To investigate the problems from the setting of CCTV by village chiefs. (2) To verify the processing of making Taipei CCTV integration policy. (3) To give some suggestions about how government and citizens work together to improve the community security in the future. Result as below: (1) Citizens thought security is more important than privacy. (2) Village chiefs aren’t suitable to manage the CCTV because they have no public right to do that. (3) It is difficult for police department to integrate the CCTV system because the monitors were old and the brands of CCTV were different. (4) The new CCTV system from police department is difficult to meet the every requirement from village chiefs. (5) The Opinions from related-stakeholders are not quite objective. (6) The number of police is limited. Thus, it is important to combine the citizen and police together to improve the public security. As follows, I have three recommendations. First, we need to agglomerate social identity to maintain the public security. Second, we need to improve the abilities on risk management and crisis handling. Third, we need to manage the setting of CCTV system.

Aging sewer infrastructure is posing greater and greater risk to the health and well-being of City residents. Issues can range from pipe blockages in sewer laterals to Sanitary Sewer Overflows. This thesis develops a risk analysis method that can be used by municipalities to maintain and rehabilitate sewer assets. Risk combines the effect of Likelihood of Failure (LOF) and Consequence of Failure (COF) to perform a complete two-dimensional analysis that allows for relative comparison between different pipes in the system. The LOF rating has been equated to pipe integrity while the COF rating was related to the environmental, economic, and social consequences to pipe failure. In order to estimate pipe integrity Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) scores from the City of Santa Barbara were used in combination with spatial and physical properties associated with each pipe. The CCTV scores were simply integer values between 0 and 5 based on the National Association of Sewer Services Company’s (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) results. The quantitative parameters included pipe material and age, distance from restaurants, distance from any above ground water source, pipe depth below the ground surface, pipe length, and vehicular traffic volumes. The sensitivity analysis compared the given structural integrity scores with the predicted scores based on the weighted scoring method. It isolated four out of six of the parameters tested that affected the structural integrity of sewer pipes: material and age (45%), pipe depth (20%), Vehicular Traffic (10%), and distance from an above-ground water source (25%). A program was created in the C programming language that iteratively determined the percentage for each factor. These percentage factors are used to obtain the predicted structural integrity score for all the pipes. Like the LOF rating, the COF rating consisted of scores between 0 and 5. The COF rating used pipe diameter, distance from commercial zones, distance from critical infrastructure, and vehicular traffic volume as parameters for quantifying the environmental, economic, and social consequences. These factors were determined from review of past literature and given approximately equal weighting when determining the COF rating values. The environmental factor, pipe diameter, was given a percentage factor of 30%; the economic factor, distance to commercial zones, was given a percentage factor of 30%; and the social concerns, distance to critical infrastructure and vehicular traffic volume, were given percentage factors of 20% each. Finally, the risk for each pipe was determined in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by combining the predicted structural integrity score or LOF rating and COF rating value for each pipe. This generated color-coded maps that showed distinct pipes that had the most critical predicted structural integrity scores, highest consequence, and the pipes with the most risk. This process could be used by any City to create a maintenance and rehabilitation schedule and plan for future CCTV inspections.

This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of closed-circuit television (CCTV) as a post-partum teaching tool using an interactive problem-solving approach, compared with conventional group classes, in fostering the acquisition of skills and knowledge around baby care. A second primary objective is to determine the level of satisfaction of respondents with both approaches to post-partum education. An extensive discussion of the theoretical basis for the proposal is presented, drawing upon and synthesising concepts from the literature of Sociology, Education and Health Sciences. The conceptual model (Sword 1990) represents a synthesis of Mezirow’s (1978) theory of the transformation of meaning perspective with D’Zurilla’s (1986) cognitive-appraisal approach to the acquisition of new knowledge. In addition, adult learning principles are applied to the selected teaching strategies to identify optimal conditions of learning (Zemke and Zemke 1988). A two-group cohort design was used for randomisation, and the data collected was subjected to both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Two measures of learning were not significantly different for the videotape and live class groups. Statistically significant differences were identified between the groups in the attitude measures of convenience and ease of understanding. There was also a measurable difference in levels of satisfaction with the different approaches used. However, the results of this study suggest that combining an interactive, problem-solving approach to post-partum education with CCTV, is no more effective than live group classes in achieving knowledge acquisition for new mothers. CCTV can be used to address the basic and repetitive aspects of patient education and it appears to be effective for short-term knowledge gain. Several issues for further study are proposed in relation to the planning and implementation of alternative approaches to conventional post-partum teaching, as well as the design of future televised patient education programmes. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
