Validation of the Working Alliance Inventory–Observer Short Version with male intimate partner violence offenders
2018
The working alliance is a key element to increase intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders' motivation, adherence to treatment, and active participation in batterer intervention programs (BIPs). The objective of the present study is to assess the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Working Alliance Inventory-Observer Short Version (WAI-O-S) with a sample of IPV offenders. The sample was 140 men convicted for IPV and court-mandated to a community-based BIP. Inter-rater agreement and reliability were evaluated by computing the intraclass correlation coefficient. To test the latent structure a Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis approach was used. To test criterion-related v…

Predicting the landslides triggered by the 2009 96E/Ida tropical storms in the Ilopango caldera area (El Salvador, CA): optimizing MARS-based model b…
2019
The main topic of this research was to evaluate the effect in the performance of stochastic landslide susceptibility models, produced by differences between the triggering events of the calibration and validation datasets. In the Caldera Ilopango area (El Salvador), MARS (multivariate adaptive regression splines)-based susceptibility modeling was applied using a set of physical–environmental predictors and two remotely recognized landslide inventories: one dated at 2003 (1503 landslides), which was the result of a normal rainfall season, and one which was produced by the combined effect of the Ida hurricane and the 96E tropical depression in 2009 (2237 landslides). Both the event inventorie…
Congestion analysis to evaluate the efficiency and appropriateness of hospitals in Sicily
2015
Over the past twenty years, important changes in the Italian National Health System have been made in order to obtain significant improvements in the efficiency, appropriateness and quality of health care delivery, while reducing health expenditure. In this paper we proposed a multidimensional approach to assess the impact of organization inappropriateness on the efficiency evaluation of hospitals in Sicily for the year 2009. This study was based on cross-sectional data for 116 (out of 129) short-term, acute-care hospitals. The analysis considered beds, physicians, nurses and other personnel as inputs, ordinary discharges and day-hospital admissions as desirable outputs and inappropriate di…
Five Years of Game Programming Outreach : Understanding Student Differences
2014
This paper presents lessons learned from five years of teaching a five-day game design and programming outreach course. The course was offered in summer time and targeted at middle and high school students. In total, 462 youngsters have taken part in 21 course instances. We describe our course concept, and discuss our successes and challenges. In particular, we focus on understanding our student populations by presenting descriptives and statistics of the events, and performing a statistical cluster analysis based on pre- and post-surveys. The cluster analysis was complemented with an analysis of the qualitative data, also originating from the surveys. Taken together, students could be clas…
Life two years after a game programming course: longitudinal viewpoints on K-12 outreach
2012
In our faculty we have run week-long K-12 game programming courses now for three summers. In this paper we investigate what programming-related activities students do after they take a course, and what factors in the students' background relate to post-course programming. We also investigate a possible change in the students' interest towards higher education science studies. We find that most students continue programming after the course and that their interest towards science studies keeps increasing. In student background we observed some indicative trends, but did not find reliable explaining factors related to post-course programming or increased interest towards science studies.
Low Level Languages for the PAPIA Machine
1986
The paper presents the low-level languages implemented up to date to program the PAPIA machine. The parallel assembly-level P-MAGRO package, the microcode level instruction set and a machine simulating environment are described.
En studie av de faktorer som bidrar til effekter ved PDAbruk i norsk hjemmesykepleie
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Helsesektoren i Norge er en belastet sektor som skal betjene et økende antall hjemmeboende klienter og bistå dem med helsetjenester og hjelp til daglige gjøremål. Etaten sliter med lav bemanning og begrensede midler. Dette har bidratt til at man har fått fremvekst av moderniseringstiltak i sektoren. Moderniseringen kan ta flere former og denne oppgaven ser i hovedsak på bruk av PDAer i norsk hjemmesykepleie. PDAer er små håndholdte PC-er som kan gi mobil tilgang til informasjon som tidligere var papirbasert og utilgjengelig for pleiepersonell ute på mobile oppdrag. Det er en rekke potensielle effekter ved slike PDA-…
Stohastiskā pieeja projekta izpildes laika un izmaksu novērtēšanai
2021
Bakalaura darbs veltīts diviem projekta vadības uzdevumiem, kas skatīti pie nosacījuma, ka aktivitāšu parametri uzdoti kā gadījuma lielumi. Projekta izpildes laika novērtēšanai salīdzinātas stohastiskās programmēšanas, PERT, Skulli-Šuma, un Montekarlo simulāciju metodes. Apskatīts arī projekta īstenošanas izmaksu un laika optimizācijas algoritms, kas balstās uz simulācijām un kvadrātisko programmēšanu. Visas metodes ilustrētas ar skaitliskiem piemēriem, darbam pievienoti programmēšanas valodā R izveidotie kodi, kā arī programmās TORA un Matlab veiktie aprēķini.
Photo-Induced Luminescence
2008
The present paper is a critical review dealing with the characteristics, reaction mechanisms and photoproducts, instrumentation and analytical applications of the photo-induced either chemiluminescence or fluorescence. Special attention is paid to the determination of pesticides by continuous-flow methodologies. The paper is divided into several sections covering the most relevant published papers.
