Previous issue date: 2013 / The efficient application of resources is an increasingly discussed theme, especially in Public Administration, as the high and inefficient public spending is considered by many experts as one of the main reasons for imbalances in the economy of the country, such as low growth economic, corruption, overvalued exchange rate against other world economies and interest rates still high. Many experiments are adopted by several public entities in the quest for
quality improvement in spending for public services. This work, in addition to presenting some examples of initiatives in implantation of cost systems geared towards efficiency in public spending, presents and analyzes the experience of the State of Ceará in establishing a cost management model that has as main purposes to measure the impact of the operation of
equipment in public defrayal and assess the Government's ability to make new investments.
This analysis uses the methodology of Data Envelopment Analysis, which compares data
from six state hospitals for the periods from January to July of the years 2011 and 2012, and an exploratory quantitative approach with the servers involved in the MAPP Gestão. In this respect, the results indicate that MAPP Gestão has contributed to the public expenditure
efficiency, requiring, however, adjustment and refinement needed to expand the model.
Despite the results, it is recommended to carry out further studies to analyze other aspects not considered in this work, as well as an evaluation of the model as from its consolidation as a government instrument for reducing costs and improving the quality of public services.
Finally, it is argued that the results obtained in this study may be used by the Government of the State of Ceará, because they serve as the analysis of MAPP Gestão and can assist in decision making to improve the model adopted, and by the academy, since it refers to an issue of paramount importance for the Public Sector Economics. / A eficiência na aplicação de recursos é um tema cada vez mais discutido.

Processen för att skapa en spelkaraktärPaskén, David January 2013 (has links)
Dagens spel har väldigt väl utvecklade karaktärer men hur skapar man en karaktär egentligen? Denna rapport kommer att handla om processen för att skapa en spelkaraktär, man kommer att ta en titt på vilka verktyg och program som kan användas sig av när man skapar en spelkaraktär. Man kommer även skapa en egen karaktär och använda sig utav några utvalda program för att skapa den och kommer även undersöka lite om de program som har använts i skapandet av den karaktär som kommer skapas för att få en bättre förståelse för hur man kan göra när man skapar en karaktär och kommer i slutet gå igenom resultatet av arbetet på denna karaktär och vad man har kommit fram till. Kraven på en designer är väldigt höga och processen för att skapa en spelkaraktär kan se ut på olika sätt så i denna rapport prövar vi en process.

Effectiveness of Treatment-as-Usual among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)Gordon, Amanda McKinley 12 1900 (has links)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents with difficulties in social communication, repetitive and/or restricted behaviors, as well as variable language development. Individuals with suspected ASD ideally participate in assessments which include measures of cognitive abilities, adaptive functioning, language functioning, and ASD specific measures (i.e., ADOS, ADI-R). Diagnosis of ASD can occur confidently at 2 years of age, however, the mean age at diagnosis is 4-5 years old. Delays in diagnosis are accounted for by lacking professionals and centers with the capabilities to assess ASD, as well as long waitlists for assessments. Early identification and intervention have been shown to provide the best improvements in ASD symptomology. The aim of the current study was to conduct a program evaluation of an autism treatment center that was designed to provide high quality evidence-based interventions. The study determined if treatment-as-usual in that center yields the expected gains in adaptive functioning and corresponding decreases in barriers to learning. Results indicated improvement in scores on standardized direct assessment of milestone achievement and barriers to learning, but no significant improvement in adaptive skills via secondary informant questionnaire measures following 6 months of treatment. The overall sample size was small due to COVID-19 complications, lack of institutional procedures, and limited client pool. Further investigation into the treatment practices and reevaluation strategies for individuals with ASD is required.

Previous issue date: 2017-02-06 / Não recebi financiamento / The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) authored
by Mark Sundberg provides a systematic assessment for children with autism and similar
delays and has become a frequent tool among those who gives consultations in this área.
Divided into five components, the VB-MAPP evaluates samples of the child’s verbal
repertoire from 170 developmental milestones presented in three levels (0 -18 months, 18-30
months and 30-48). The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the VB-MAPP to the
Portuguese language and propose a way to qualify professionals to implement it properly.
Study 1 translated and adapted to Portuguese Chapters 1 to 6 and the corresponding protocol
scoring form. Study 2 tested the effect of a Behavioral Skill Training to improve the
performance of the professionals in conducting the VB-MAPP. Items from a list of skills
were used to measure the performance of each participant in specific tasks (Level 1, 2 and 3)
of this assessment tool. The study consisted of three phases: pretest, training and posttest.
Ten participants were divided into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups
performed the pretest and posttest, but the training was only mandatory for the experimental
group. In the pretest phase all participants received the Portuguese version of The VBMAPP
and had to assess one child each. Training phase was composed of a BST package
(instruction, modeling, reharsal and feedback). Only Level 1 and 2 tasks were taught. Both
groups repeated the assessment in the posttest phase, however, the experimental group had
an additional task: implementing the Level 3 tasks of the VB -MAPP. Still in the posttest
phase, two participants (P3 and P6), presenting lower overall performances than the other
participants of the experimental group, were selected for five additional posttest sessions.
The results showed that all participants in the experimental group developed skills to
implement The VB-MAPP regarding Level 1 and 2 tasks. About the performance of the
experimental group in Level 3 tasks, it was possible to say that generalization occurred for
some, but not all behaviors. The results were higher than the pretests, but lower when
compared to the Level 1 and 2 tasks. Among the factors that may have contributed to this
partial result we highlight: (1) Level 3 tasks are more complex than the Levels 1 and 2 and
may require evaluators with more experience (2) only some milestones were selected for
Level 3 testing and not all of them. As for participants P3 and P6, after a total of six posttest
viii
sessions, they maintained the percentage of correct answers higher than 90% for Level 1 and
2 tasks and 85% for Level 3 tasks. / O Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) de autoria
de Mark L. Sundberg oferece uma avaliação sistematizada para crianças autistas ou com
atrasos similares e se tornou um instrumento de uso frequente entre aqueles que planejam e
implementam atendimentos nessa área. Dividido em cinco componentes, o VB-MAPP
avalia uma amostra do repertório verbal da criança a partir de 170 marcos de
desenvolvimento que são apresentados em três níveis (0 -18 meses; 18-30 meses e 30-48). O
objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar a tradução e adaptação do VB-MAPP para o
português, bem como, propôr uma forma de capacitar profissionais para implementá-lo
adequadamente. O Estudo 1 traduziu e adaptou para o português o VB-MAPP manual
capítulos 1 ao 6 e o protocolo de registro correspondente. As etapas envolveram a
participação de dois tradutores independentes, avaliação de especialistas e estudo piloto. O
Estudo 2 testou o efeito de um treino de habilidades comportamentais (Behavioral Skill
Training- BST) para aprimorar o desempenho de profissionais da área da pedagogia e
psicologia na implementação do VB-MAPP. A variável dependente foi a porcentagem de
acertos de uma lista de itens, chamada de Avaliação de Desempenho, que serviu de
parâmetro para mensurar as habilidades de avaliador dos participantes em tarefas de Nível 1,
2 e 3 do VB-MAPP. O estudo foi composto por 3 fases: pré-teste, treinamento e pós-teste.
Dez participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: controle e experimental. Ambos os
grupos particiaram da fase de pré-teste e pós- teste, porém, o treinamento foi obrigatório
para o grupo experimental. Na fase do pré -teste todos receberam a versão adaptada para o
português do VB-MAPP e cada participante avaliou uma criança. Depois, somente o grupo
experimental passou pela fase de treinamento, sendo exposto a um pacote BST. O BST,
composto por instrução, modelação, ensaio e feedback, foi a variável independente Somente
habilidades de Nível 1 e 2 foram ensinadas. Na fase do pós -teste os dois grupos repetiram a
avaliação do pré-teste com a mesma criança, porém, o grupo experimental teve uma tarefa
adicional: implementar tarefas de Nível 3 do VB MAPP não ensinadas durante o
treinamento. Nessa etapa foi observado a eficácia do treinamento em promover
generalização das habilidades de avaliador para as tarefas de Nível 3. Ainda na fase de pósteste,
dois participantes (P3 e P6), apresentando desempenhos gerais inferiores aos outros
vi
participantes do grupo experimental, foram selecionados para 05 sessões adicionais de pósteste
e avaliaram novas crianças. Os resultados do primeiro pós-teste mostraram que todos
os participantes do grupo experimental desenvolveram as habilidades de avaliador esperadas
para implementar o VB-MAPP depois do treinamento, indicando a eficácia do BST. Em
relação ao desempenho nas tarefas de Nível 3, foi possível dizer que ocorreu generalização
para alguns comportamentos, mas não todos. Os resultados foram superiores aos do pré –
teste, mas inferiores quando comparados com os desempenhos de Nível 1 e 2. Entre os
fatores que podem ter contribuído para esse resultado parcial destacamos: (1) as tarefas de
Nível 3 são mais complexas que as dos Níveis 1 e 2 e podem exigir avaliadores com maior
experiência nesse tipo de tarefa (2) apenas alguns itens ou marcos foram selecionados para a
testagem do Nível 3 e não a totalidade deles. Quanto aos participantes P3 e P6, após um total
de seis sessões de pós- teste, mantiveram a porcentagem de acertos superior a 90% nas
tarefas de Nível 1 e 2 e 85% de acertos nas tarefas de Nível 3.

Implementing MAPP (Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships) in the New River Valley, Virginia: A Planning Approach to Improve the Community's Health and Quality of Life through Mobilized Partnerships and Strategic ActionHershey, J. H. 05 May 2011 (has links)
The present study implemented Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), a comprehensive, multi-component, strategic planning model and tool, in the New River Valley (NRV), Virginia to mobilize the NRV community to improve its own health status and the quality of life of its residents. The current mixed methods study represents one of the first to utilize MAPP in southwest Virginia and Virginia and is the most comprehensive community health needs assessment and strategic planning effort to date in the NRV. Through MAPP, the NRV community strived to determine the most effective ways to achieve optimal community health by considering its unique circumstances and needs, prioritizing public health system issues, identifying resources, and then developing integrated plans and forming effective partnerships for strategic action. The NRV MAPP process provided a solid framework for creating a community-driven needs assessment and strategic planning approach and initiative that brought together diverse public, private, non-profit, and voluntary organizations/agencies, businesses, faith communities, academia, local government, community members, and others who shared the commitment to and had a role in the NRV community's health and overall well-being. The current study also reviews the specific findings, summarizes the benefits and successes, and highlights lessons learned (including challenges and limitations) from the NRV MAPP experience, as well as makes recommendations for current practice and future research. Additionally, it provides a step-by-step overview of the entire MAPP process for potential users as applied to a real-world community, specifically the NRV. / Ph. D.

Pilotní projekt třídy pro žáky s autismem implementující poznatky Aplikové Behaviorální Analýzy / Project of class for puppils with autism implementing knowledge of Applied Behavior AnalysisPetříková, Monika January 2019 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to describe and evaluate the education of an autistic pupil in the mainstream school according to the principles of applied behavioural analysis. The default method is the Pennsylvania Verbal Behavior Project, which was implemented at a Czech primary school. The thesis presents a theoretical description of this educational method and its particular techniques. Their practical application is illustrated by the research case study report of a pupil, who was observed in my research. In this research case analysis, I have analysed the input skills of the observed pupil and his progress in particular areas and evaluated status not only according to the VB-MAPP diagnostic material. Description of the development of verbal behaviour is the core objective systematically developed by this educational method and it is an integral part of the pupil's active participation in joint learning. The thesis comes with a new perspective on the education of pupils with autism in the framework of common education at primary school. Pupils involved in this type of education can enter the school even though they are not yet adequately equipped with verbal skills and would not benefit from frontal teaching and common learning process. They are integrated into the ordinary class with respect to...

Constructing Hope: Narrative and the Foster Care ExperienceSmith, Shelley Hawthorne January 2012 (has links)
This dissertation, Constructing Hope: Narrative and the Foster Care Experience, analyzes the language used to explain the foster care experience to children under the care of Arizona's Child Protective Services (CPS). The dissertation proposes revisions to the language around foster care to make the experience less confusing and makes recommendations to encourage hope for foster children. This multi-methodological study combines ethnography and textography. Engaging narrative inquiry, relying particularly on Earnest Bormann and Walter Fisher, the dissertation analyzes Arizona's training material for Child Protective Services (CPS) case managers (CORE training) and Arizona's training material for foster parents (PS-MAPP training) along with interviews of case managers and foster parents. The analysis of the CORE training for CPS case managers reveals that narratives about CPS generally focus on the birth parent as central to the plot and situate children as supporting characters. Also, the analysis shows narrative disjunctures between the characterization of birth parents in the CORE training and the experiences of the case managers interviewed. I show how the language used in the CORE training could be more coherent with the experiences of case managers and the experiences of children. The analysis of the PS-MAPP training reveals a contradiction between the characterization of the foster caregiver and the metaphor of "parent" used to describe the foster caregiver. Also, the study demonstrates ways in which the strength/needs framework, which is central to the training, could be expanded to better prepare foster caregivers for their work. Finally, examining Aviva Children's Services' Life Book program reveals ways in which hope can be cultivated for foster children. The analysis of the Life Book project proposes a rhetoric of hope applicable to other populations who have undergone serious trauma.

Systematic errors in the characterization of rock mass quality for tunnels : a comparative analysis between core and tunnel mappingDomingo Sabugo, María January 2018 (has links)
This thesis analyzes the potential systematic errorin the characterization of the rock mass quality in borehole and tunnel mapping. The difference when assessing the rock mass quality refers to the fact that the characterization performed on drilled rock cores are commonly done on-meter length, while the tunnel section can be up to 20-25 m wide. At the same time, previous studies indicate that the engineering geologist tends to characterize the rock mass quality during tunnel excavation with a conservative estimation of the parameters defining the rock mass quality to ensure a sufficient rock support. In order to estimate this possible systematic error produced by the size difference when assessing the rock mass quality, a simulation was performed within a geological domain, representative of Stockholm city. In the simulation, each meter of the tunnel section was given a separate value of the rock mass quality, randomly chosen from a normal distribution representative for the studied geological domain. The minimum value was set to represent the characterized rock mass quality for that tunnel section. The results from the simulation produced a systematic error due to the difference between the geological domain, reproducing the borehole mapping, and the simulated values, representing the tunnel mapping. The results showed a systematic error in the RMR basic index around 15 points in average, which compared to the difference of 5-7 points obtained in Norrström and the Norrmalm tunnels in the Stockholm Citylink project recently constructed, are found to be excessive. However, in the simulation, it was assumed that (1) the results obtained were the same in the bore hole mapping and in the tunnel mapping, (2) with the only difference of the engineer geologist assigning to the tunnel section the lowest RMR basic value, and (3) that there was no spatial correlation between the quality RMR basic index. After analyzing the three assumptions the simulation was based upon, the absence of spatial correlation was found to be the most significative, which indicate that spatial correlation in rock mass quality needs to be included if a more correct value should be obtained.
