581	Traditional Chinese medicine on-line diagnosis system Chou, Chuan-Ting 01 January 2006 (has links) The project developed a web-based application that provides a user-friendly interface to assist practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine in determining the correct diagnosis. Traditional Chinese Medicine On-line Diagnosis System (TCMODS) allows a diagnostician to enter a patient's symptoms using a series of questionnaires to determine health status, which will then be stored in the database as part of the patient's medical records. The database will also differentiate among the patterns of syndromes known in traditional Chinese medicine and search and match these with the patient's data to the known uses of Chinese herbs. TCMODS will then generate that patient's medical record, including the symptoms of the ailment, the syndrome, and a prescription. User identification and access privileges were differentiated in order to maintain the integrity of the patient medical data and the information needed to make the diagnoses. The project was designed to function across platforms and was written using HTML, JSP, and MySQL.

582	Assessing online assessments: A comparison study of math assessment tools for third-grade students Chan, Tina Kim 01 January 2007 (has links) The study reported here examined the move towards online assessments and addressed the question of whether or not different assessment tools affect student scores and student learning. The research activities covered a three-week period, from June 5, 2006 to June 23, 2006. During this time, seventeen third grade students served as their own control group by taking several math tests online and several math tests with paper and pencil. Results were compared to see if performance on computer-based tests would be more successful than pencil-and-paper tests. A follow-up survey to evaluate and interpret the quantitative results was also used. Findings revealed that 59% of the students did better on the paper tests. Further analysis revealed that the overall average of the computer tests was 71.9%, while paper tests revealed an average of 69.9%. In summary, these findings report that there is no significant difference in scores when taking a test on the computer or a test on paper. Suggestions for further research and recommendations are included.

583	Gender-Related Terms in English Depositions, Examinations and Journals, 1670–1720 Lilja, Sara January 2007 (has links) <p>This dissertation focuses on gender-related terms as well as adjectives and demonstratives in connection with these terms used in texts from the period 1670–1720. The material in the study has been drawn from both English and American sources and comes from three text categories: depositions, examinations and journals. Two of these text categories represent authentic and speech-related language use (depositions and examinations), whereas the third (journals) is representative of a non-speech-related, non-fictional text category. While previous studies of gender-related terms have primarily investigated fictional material, this study focuses on text categories which have received little attention so far. </p><p>The overarching research question addressed in this study concerns the use and distribution of gender-related terms, especially with regard to referent gender. Data analyses are both quantitative and qualitative, and several linguistic and extra-linguistic factors are taken into account, such as the semantic domain to which the individual gender-related term belongs, region of origin and referent gender. Adjectives and demonstratives collocating with the gender-related terms are also investigated, as previous research has shown that referent gender has an impact on the use of adjectives as well.</p><p>The results show that the use of gender-related terms is influenced by both region of origin and referent gender.

Referent gender also has an impact on the type of adjectives used in connection with gender-related terms: adjectives collocating with gender-related terms denoting men have positive connotations to a larger extent than do adjectives collocating with their female counterparts; meanwhile, gender-related terms denoting women tend to collocate with negative adjectives. </p> English language adjectives corpus linguistics demonstratives depositions Early Modern English examinations female gender gender-related terms historical sociolinguistics journals male Salem Witchcraft Papers Engelska

585	Approaching the Examiner's Chair: Chronicling the Experiences of Piano Examiner Apprentices for the Royal Conservatory of Music Dumlavwalla, Diana Teresa 21 November 2011 (has links) Examinations administered by the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) play a major role in the musical education of many individuals across Canada. The evaluative process needs to be a constructive one in order to ensure its positive impact on students’ musical education. Examiners who are confident and comfortable in their roles as assessors are more likely to provide this ideal environment for the students. Individuals at the dawn of their examining careers are prone to lower confidence and comfort levels due to their inexperience. Yet all music students deserve an optimal examination situation, even from new examiners. Ensuring that an examiner receives proper training will help to increase their confidence and comfort levels while assessing students. This study examined the elements of an examiner’s education, experience and preparation which contributed to higher confidence and comfort levels as they participated in the RCM evaluative process. Ten individuals participated in surveys and interviews. Seven were recent apprentices of the examiner training program and three were senior examiners. Their experiences and insights given in a narrative form shed light on which elements of their background and training benefited them as examiners. According to the participants, varied and extensive pedagogical training, taking exams as students and intensive performance education gave them the most advantages during their early careers as examiners. Regarding the examiner apprenticeship program, participants felt that they would have benefited from more practical experience during the early classroom seminar, additional opportunities to observe students at varying performing levels and more time for discussion with their mentors. These recommendations for background preparation and enhanced training are intended to give examiners greater confidence in their evaluative roles early in their careers, enabling them to provide constructive and effective assessments for students and their teachers. music examiners piano piano pedagogy Royal Conservatory of Music music examinations RCM exams assessments evaluations music assessors music evaluators conservatories examining boards examiner training music students confidence level comfort level narrative inquiry 0413 0522

587	La evaluación de Historia de España en COU y Bachillerato en la Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia (1993-2004) Martínez Molina, María Elena 30 May 2008 (has links) Esta tesis muestra una radiografía de las evaluaciones de Historia de España en COU y Bachillerato (a través de los recuerdos de 1523 alumnos entre 1993-2003), y de los protocolos de los exámenes (410 realizados por el profesorado entre 2002-2004), en la CC.AA. de la Región de Murcia. Entre los resultados más relevantes, destacar: la influencia que los aspectos formales de las evaluaciones y los exámenes tienen tanto en los contenidos por los que se les pregunta a los alumnos como en el tipo de aprendizaje que éstos adquieren; la presencia predominante de preguntas que requieren principalmente la memorización de los conocimientos; las relaciones existentes entre los tipos de preguntas y las capacidades cognitivas solicitadas en las pruebas; la evaluación de unos temas de la Historia de España en detrimento de otros; y la influencia que dos referentes como son selectividad y decreto de currículum, tienen en las pruebas estudiadas. / This thesis shows a radiograph of the assessments of History of Spain in COU and Bachillerato (through the memories of 1523 students between 1993-2003), and the protocols of the examinations (410 made by teachers between 2002-2004) in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia. Among the most relevant results, include: the influence of the formal aspects of assessments and examinations have so much in the content for which one asks the students as the type of learning that they acquire, the predominance of questions mainly require the memorization of knowledge, relations between the types of questions and cognitive abilities tests requested and the evaluation of the subjects of the History of Spain at the expense of others, and the influence of two references such as selectivity and Decree of the curriculum, the tests are studied.

589	Cervical screening among Southern Alberta First Nations women living off-reserve Jensen-Ross, Christine, University of Lethbridge. School of Health Sciences January 2006 (has links) First Nations women face nearly three times the risk of cervical cancer and mortality rates of up to six times higher than their non-Aboriginal counterparts. While cervical cancer is almost completely preventable, Southern Alberta First Nations women seldom access cervical screening services. The purpose of this qualitative focused ethnography was to gain an understanding of the cervical screening needs of un- and under-served First Nations women living off-reserve. Thirteen purposefully selected First Nations women participated in three focus groups utilizing semi-structured interviews. Personal self-worth and cervical screening awareness and relevance are essential to the pursuit of cervical screening. Barriers and incentives for screening and opportunities for acceptability and sustainability are explored. A holistic approach, intersectoral collaboration and cultural safety are described by focus group participants as foundational for optimal service delivery. / xii, 223 leaves ; 29 cm.
