Competition, Gender Equality, and Doping in Sports in the Red Queen Effect Perspective
2022
The nature of sports is characterized by a strong competitive component that generates inequalities among athletes at different levels, specifically in relation to gender, technology, and doping. These inequalities can be represented according to the Red Queen effect perspective, which has been previously hypothesized in other competitive environments (evolutionary biology and economics, for instance). The Red Queen effect considers each competitive environment to require a constant effort to maintain a position of competitive advantage in order reach the best result possible. Therefore, the aim of the current paper is to provide an innovative perspective for the understanding of competitio…
System Dynamics Models To Support Health Care Companies In Managing Clinical Risk
2011
Clinical risk management has gained an increasing relevance because of the higher monetary and no monetary effects of clinical errors on health care companies' performance. For this reason, different risk management techniques from the industrial sector have been adopted by managers of health care companies in order to reduce the occurrences of errors and their relative impacts. However, these methods, based on a linear and static perspective, do not properly support the health care companies' management in the identification and assessment of policies aimed at improving the clinical risk profile without reducing financial performances. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a systemic and mul…

MEASURING PERFORMANCE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR: BETWEEN NECESSITY AND DIFFICULTY
2014
Performance measurement (PM) in the public sector is indeed a necessity. PM has been introduced in many public organizations in order to ensure transparency of public decisions and the use of public funds and to boost performance. But in practice, this concept strikes many obstacles: defining performance in the public sector, identifying suitable performance indicators, implementation of a performance management system. A challenge, still present, is to identify the most suitable methods for monitoring and measuring performance, so do not give rise to speculative behavior among employees and managers. This paper presents the methods used in measuring performance in the public sector, as wel…
L'EVALUATION DES PERFORMANCES ET LE DEGRE D'AUTONOMIE DES ACTEURS LOCAUX : LE CAS DES BANQUES DE RESEAU.
2009
The structure of the system to evaluate the performance in the banking sector is poorly studied in France. We don't have many information about Organizational Architecture of retail banks although manager argue that branches are important to generate regular revenues. The questions are numerous : how are branches managed ? are the decision rights equally assigned in branches among all the banking sector ? And what's about the specificity of mutual banks ? The aim of the study if to answer theses questions and try to elaborate a typology between mutual and commercial bank.
How do self-regulation and effort in test-taking contribute to undergraduate students’ critical thinking performance?
2023
Critical thinking is a multifaceted construct involving a set of skills and affective dispositions together with self-regulation. The aim of this study was to explore how self-regulation and effort in test-taking contribute to undergraduate students’ performance in critical thinking assessment. The data were collected in 18 higher education institutions in Finland. A total of 2402 undergraduate students at the initial and final stages of their bachelor degree programmes participated in the study. An open-ended performance task, namely the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International, was assigned to assess students’ critical thinking, and a self-report questionnaire was used to measu…
Problematising the equivalence of the test results of performance-based critical thinking tests for undergraduate students
2015
Abstract This article compares the test results of two different performance-based assessments of critical thinking: a constructed-response task from the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) and a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ). These tests ostensibly measure the same critical thinking skills, such as analysing, interpreting and evaluating information and problem solving. The study utilised a mixed-method approach to explore the differences in students’ ( n = 330) test scores. The results showed that the correspondence between the CLA and the MCQ was fully comparable in 45.5% of the students’ test performances. Ten percent of the students had completely opposite test results. Explanat…
Pašregulējoša aizsardzība pret sistēmas pārslodzi
2018
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izveidot no sistēmas veiktspējas atkarīgu sistēmas pārslodzes vadības mehānismu, kas, darbojoties fonā, mēra kopējo sistēmas slodzi un balstoties uz iegūtajiem rezultātiem regulē sniedzamo servisu apjomu. Nepietiekamas veiktspējas gadījumā tiek veidotas gaidītāju rindas jaunajiem lietotājiem, tā ļaujot efektīvi pabeigt iesāktās darbības sistēmā esošajiem lietotājiem. Lietotāji, kas atrodas gaidītāju rindā, tiek informēti par aptuveno gaidīšanas laiku, pēc kura varēs piekļūt pieprasītajai funkcionalitātei. Darbā ir aprakstīts risinājums, kas veicina augstāku servisu saņemšanas kvalitāti, izvairoties no sistēmas pārslodzes radītām atteicēm un samazinot ar sistēmas lēn…
LA "SOFFERENZA FORMATIVA": UN'ANALISI PER COORTE DI IMMATRICOLATI
2007
La riforma universitaria entrata in vigore nell’a.a. 2001/02 ha portato sostanziali cambiamenti nel sistema accademico. Tra questi, l’introduzione dei crediti formativi ha avuto l’obiettivo di riformulare il criterio di valutazione della performance dello studente con l’auspicio, anche, della riduzione dei tempi impiegati per conseguire il titolo. Dopo circa sei anni ci si comincia ad interrogare sull’impatto che tale riforma ha avuto e a valutarne l’efficacia. Gli aspetti da dover tenere in considerazione sono molteplici e il presente lavoro ha voluto focalizzare l’attenzione sulla performance universitaria degli studenti e le sue determinanti. Prendendo in considerazione la coorte di imma…
