Full texts meaning theory. Davidson makes the bold proposal that a truth theory, modified for a natural language, may be treated as a meaning theory for that language. According to Davidson, a meaning theory is an empirical theory. Radical Interpretation is at the center of such an empirical inquiry which places restrictions on the truth theory to make it suitable as a meaning theory without appeal to semantic notions. Davidson&lsquo
s aim in presenting this bold proposal and radical interpretation is to shed light on the concept of meaning, not to define the actual semantic competence of language users. But what Davidson&lsquo
s project does not aim to define is the main thing that a cognitive approach must account for. Whether a truth theory can represent the semantic competence of language users is discussed in this work. It is concluded that, although there is no a priori reason for such a representation claim, the cognitive approach&mdash
with the right assumptions to make the claim testable&mdash
can lead to an empirical research programme.

Full textResults revealed that Canadian respondents perceived fewer sports to be on the extremes of the male-female continuum than did the Kenyan respondents. Females in both cultures considered more sports to be appropriate for both male and female participation than did their male counterparts. However, Canadian and Kenyan respondents, both male and female, unanimously perceived some sports to be primarily appropriate for males and others primarily appropriate for females.
The study supports Metheny's contention of cultural variance in perceptions of the gender appropriateness of sports. Although many sports that had been considered inappropriate for females in 1964 are today considered to be androgynous, especially by Canadians, some gender stereotyping still remains to be overcome. Implications for physical education teachers are suggested.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaf 52).
Diversification tools such as modem portfolio theory are used by institutional investors when making asset allocation decisions, which often result in an allocation to the private equity asset class. While some level of diversification within a private equity portfolio, in theory, should produce higher risk-adjusted returns, in practice it is problematic. Through a combination of quantitative analysis of historical private equity returns and qualitative analysis of the investment programs of several large institutional investors with long histories in private equity, the appropriateness and feasibility of targeted diversification is evaluated. The research indicates that the success of private equity investment programs is influenced more by the quality of the managers in the portfolio than by strategic design. Therefore, the ability of investors to access strong performing managers, and to choose not to invest when such access is not possible, is paramount. That said, institutions generally maintain some level of diversification in their portfolios. However, they often do so on an opportunistic basis or within a policy that affords them sufficient flexibility to overweight an area that offers the best expected returns.

Full textIntroducción. La mejora de la adecuación de la práctica clínica hace referencia a la elección de pruebas diagnósticas, tratamientos y demás prestaciones que, según la evidencia científica, tienen más beneficios que riesgos, un balance coste-beneficio razonable y se ajustan a las preferencias de las personas y la sociedad. Este proceso incluye identificar y eliminar prácticas de poco valor y promover aquellas de valor. Objetivos. 1. Documentar las iniciativas destinadas a mejorar la adecuación de la práctica clínica a nivel mundial; 2. Desarrollar recursos metodológicos que permitan evaluar y mejorar la adecuación a nivel hospitalario y 3. Analizar la percepción de los profesionales sobre las prácticas de poco valor y sobre recomendaciones para eliminar aquellas prácticas. Métodos. Llevamos a cabo cinco estudios. Para documentar las iniciativas hicimos una revisión de la literatura. Como nuevos recursos metodológicos creamos una página web que permite consultar iniciativas para la mejora de la adecuación de la práctica clínica e información de interés. Además, desarrollamos una serie de indicadores basados en revisiones sistemáticas para evaluar la adecuación en dos áreas del entorno hospitalario. Finalmente, para el tercer objetivo realizamos dos encuestas y dos grupos focales con profesionales de medicina y enfermería. Resultados. Con la búsqueda identificamos 22 iniciativas originarias de 10 países, incluyendo España. Hasta julio de 2015, dichas iniciativas habían generado 2940 recomendaciones y análisis de adecuación procedentes principalmente de guías de práctica clínica y mayoritariamente de sociedades científicas. Encontramos una gran variabilidad en el rigor metodológico para desarrollar estos recursos y garantizar sus bases en la mejor evidencia científica disponible. A partir de éstos resultados creamos la página DianaSalud.com que incluye una base de datos con dichas iniciativas y sus recomendaciones y análisis de adecuación. Obtuvimos 18 indicadores aplicables en la atención del parto a partir de 303 revisiones sistemáticas (6%) y seis indicadores a partir de 149 revisiones (4%) en la atención de la enfermedad arterial periférica. En las encuestas encontramos un alto grado de acuerdo con las recomendaciones para reducir prácticas de poco valor entre profesionales de medicina y enfermería (83% y 96% respectivamente), quienes creen que hay una buena adherencia a dichas recomendaciones en el hospital (90% y 80%) y las consideran útiles (70% y 90%). En los grupos focales identificamos como principales barreras para reducir prácticas de poco valor: medicina defensiva, mala gestión de la incertidumbre y evidencia científica contradictoria. Como facilitadores destacan el liderazgo positivo y el trabajo en equipo. Conclusiones. Las iniciativas más conocidas son aquellas que han producido recomendaciones para eliminar prácticas de poco valor, provenientes de sociedades científicas. Pese a sus importantes contribuciones, la falta de una metodología rigurosa y estandarizada para identificar prácticas de poco valor o generar recomendaciones despierta inquietudes y limita su implementación. Con respecto a los dos recursos metodológicos desarrollados, la página web continua activa y es frecuentemente consultada. En cuanto a los indicadores, observamos que la cantidad que podrían formularse está limitada por la falta de evidencia sólida sobre prácticas de poco valor y que su implementación depende del grado de detalle y la calidad de la información clínica. Además de la evidencia científica, la mejora de la adecuación implica otros aspectos relacionados con las creencias y actitudes de los profesionales sanitarios, el entorno hospitalario y la dinámica del sistema sanitario y de la sociedad en general. Estos aspectos deben trabajarse simultáneamente y con la misma intensidad con la que se busca asegurar que las iniciativas se basan en la mejor evidencia científica disponible.
Introduction. Improving the appropriateness of clinical practice refers to the choice of tests, treatments and other interventions that, according to scientific evidence, possess more benefits than risks, a reasonable cost-benefit ratio, and are compatible with the preferences of people and the society. This process includes identifying and eliminating low-value practices and promoting those that are more appropriate. Objectives. 1. to describe the initiatives aimed at improving the appropriateness of clinical practice worldwide; 2. to develop methodological resources that assess and improve appropriateness in the hospital setting; and 3. to analyse the perceptions of health professionals about inappropriate or low-value practices and recommendations to reduce them. Methods. We carried out five studies. To document initiatives of interest, we conducted a literature review. As methodological resources, we developed an open online database for consulting initiatives to improve the appropriateness of clinical practice and other information of interest. We also developed a set of indicators based on systematic reviews to assess appropriateness in two areas of the hospital setting. Finally, to achieve our third objective, we carried out two surveys and two focus groups with doctors and nurses. Results. With the literature review we identified 22 initiatives from 10 countries, including Spain. As of July 2015, these initiatives produced 2,940 outputs in the form of recommendations and appropriateness analyses mainly from clinical practice guidelines and most commonly from scientific societies. We found great variability in the methodological rigor employed to develop these resources and to guarantee that they draw on the best evidence. Based on our search results we created the website DianaHealth.com, which includes a database of the initiatives and their associated recommendations and appropriateness analyses. We obtained 18 indicators applicable on delivery care from 303 systematic reviews (6%) and six indicators on peripheral arterial disease care from 149 reviews (4%). In the surveys, we found a high agreement among doctors and nurses (83% and 96% respectively) with the recommendations for reducing low-value practices. In both groups, professionals believe that there is good adherence to these guidelines in the hospital (90% and 80%) and consider them useful (70% and 90%). In the focus groups we identified defensive medicine, bad management of uncertainty and contradictory scientific evidence as the main barriers to reducing low-value practices. As facilitators, positive leadership and teamwork stand out. Conclusions. The best-known initiatives for improving the appropriateness are those producing recommendations to reduce low-value practices, developed by scientific societies. Despite their important contributions, the lack of a rigorous and standardised methodology for identifying low-value practices or producing recommendations arouses concerns and jeopardises the implementation of their contributions. Regarding the two methodological resources developed in this tehsis work, DianaHealth.com is still active and it is frequently consulted. As for the indicators based on systematic reviews, we found that the number of indicators that could be produced is limited by the lack of solid evidence on low-value practices and their implementation depends on the degree of detail, as well as the quality of clinical information. In addition to employing scientific evidence, improving the appropriateness of clinical practice involves other aspects related to the beliefs and attitudes of healthcare professionals, the hospital environment and the dynamics of the healthcare system and society in general. These aspects should be worked on simultaneously and with the same intensity that should be devoted to ensuring that the initiatives are supported by the best scientific evidence available.

Basaran, Ismail Zafer. "Appropriateness and applicability of the use of performance incentives for warship procurement." Thesis, Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/27994.
Full textThe end of the cold war caused defense budgets to decrease in sharp manner. This trend requires the Navy, as a branch of the DOD, to tighten its controls over spending and become more cost-effective. Since warship procurement is among the most important financial transactions of the Navy, one instrument that might improve the cost-effectiveness of the Navy is the use of cost and performance incentives in warship procurement. This thesis studies the traditional and current theories of incentive contracting. It explains the relationship between the cost-effectiveness, and how the use of incentives can encourage contractors to put in a high level of effort on projects so that the government will benefit more. To define the performance level of a warship, analytical approaches, such as the use of an operations research model with the aid of response surface methodology, and the subjective figures of merit model are discussed. This thesis also presents some views on the principal-agent problem, and it expands the idea fusing the contractor's unobservable effort level as means to determine what type of incentives to offer. To compare the traditional and new concepts of incentives, two specific examples are constructed and examined

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to explore the trends that are found in commentaries on the book of Exodus and their appropriateness in the African context. The study also seeks to move from a socio-political understanding of Exodus as liberation theology to the cultural understanding of Exodus as African theology. The following three trends are found in modern commentaries on Exodus as explored by this thesis: • Historical-critical approach – dealing with the world behind the text or author centred criticism. Commentaries found under this group include those of M Noth (1962), TE Fretheim (1990), N Sarna (1991), B S Childs (1977) and WHC Propp (1999). • Literary-critical approach – this deals with the text itself or it is text centred. Commentaries found in this category include: W Brueggemann (1994), J G Janzen (1997) and C Houtman (1993). • Theological-critical approach – deals with the world in front of the text. Commentaries of GV Pixley (1987), J Durham (1987) and G Ashby (1998) are good examples of the latter named approach. Exploration into the study of the above listed three trends and their corresponding modern commentaries show that the commentaries are not fully appropriate in the context of Africa (except Ashby). This is so because the above modern commentaries have not directly addressed the ongoing issues of poverty, political, economic, oppression, marginalization, HIV / AIDS, cultural and social issues, famine, racial and sex discrimination, religious crises, and other epidemics and natural disasters prominently found in Africa - particularly among the third world countries. The modern commentaries mentioned above are indirectly relevant for Africa since the topics which they address, resonate with the readers and interpreters of Exodus in Africa. This resonance is possible if readers and interpreters of Exodus in Africa find similarities between modern commentaries and their own current context. The study also shows that the three trends found in modern commentaries on Exodus are dependent on one another to bring forth a meaningful interpretation. Based on this working relationship between the three trends mentioned above, it is suggested that the three trends should be considered in close connection with one another. Biblical interpretation in Africa must do justice to the literary, historical and theological aspects of the Bible to be meaningful and appropriate in Africa.

On behavioural research applications, it often needs to quantify the homogeneity of agreement between responses given by two (or more) raters or between two (or more) measurement devices. For a given object, it can receive different ratings from different raters. The reliability among raters becomes an important issue. In particular, investigators would like to know whether all raters classify objects in a consistent manner. Cohen (1960) proposed kappa coefficient, κ, for correcting the chance agreement among two raters. κ is widely used in literature for quantifying agreement among the raters on a nominal scale. However, Cohen''s kappa coefficient has been criticized for the illness prevalence or base rate in the particular population under study or irrelevant of rater''s rating abilities for latent classes. Gwet (2008) proposed an alternative agreement based on interrater reliability called AC1 statistic, γ1. De Mast (2007) suggested an appropriate chance-corrected interrater agreement coefficient κ* by correcting the agreement due to chance. In this thesis, we use asymptotic analysis to evaluate whether κ or γ1 is a consistent estimate of κ* when both raters adopt random rating model or Gwet''s model (2008) and compare the performances of κ and γ1 with κ*.

This study investigated the content change in and the appropriateness for young children of three Disney animated films, including “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “Mulan”, and “Frozen”. The changes in “male and female roles”, “conveyed values”, and “film background” were examined, and the appropriateness for children was assessed along four dimensions, including “educational value”, “behavioral examples”, “gender view”, and “language”. The subjects were three Disney animated films, including “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “Mulan”, and “Frozen”. The dialogues and screens in these three films were analyzed using an evaluation checklist and content analysis. Results showed that Disney animated films have changed over time. “Frozen” received more positive ratings than the other two films in all the four dimensions of appropriateness, including “educational value”, “behavioral examples”, “gender view”, and “language”. “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” features too much negative content. For example, many scenes contain materials that may cause phobia, fear, and vanity in young children or convey a negative value that the end justifies the means. “Mulan” has a large amount of scenes displaying negative gender views and gender stereotypes. As far as content change is concerned, “male and female roles” have gradually become more balanced, but achieving the goal no matter what it takes and calculation are still the “conveyed values” in these films. The ballroom dancing scene remains the everlasting feature of Disney animated films.

Full textABSTRACT - Introduction: The Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) were published to aim for a rational use of echocardiography, impact physician decisions, provide a high quality care and improve patient outcome. Following this, several studies demonstrated the proper prescription of the exam. However, the relation between the appropriateness of the exam and its clinical impact have not been largely investigated. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the degree of adherence to the appropriate use criteria for echocardiography, in different contexts of care and according the various existing specialties in a tertiary public hospital in the United Kingdom, as well as the clinical impact of this exams on the patient outcome. Methods: 859 TTE’s performed consecutively during January 2014 were reviewed to assess its appropriateness, and were classified as appropriate, uncertain or inappropriate using the 2011 guidelines. Subsequently, patient’s files were examined to determine the clinical impact of the TTE which was assigned to one of the following three categories: (1) active change in care – escalation or de-escalation in care resulting from TTE, (2) continuation of current care – no escalation or de-escalation of current care, but direct communication provided to patients about TTE results, or (3) no change in care – next step in management already in place before TTE result, Cause of symptoms already known when TTE ordered to define cause, prior TTE showed the same findings without acute indication for the new TTE, no change in therapy or documentation about TTE findings. Patients which files were not available were excluded (259). All classifications were evaluated by a independent cardiologist, with no direct relation to the study. Results: Our sample had a mean age of 63 ± 17 years with a gender balance. The majority of the exams were requested in the outpatients (81.4%) clinic, by cardiologists (50.3%) and general practitioners (13.4%). Regarding the results of the study, in 7.6% there were moderate to severe systolic dysfunction, 4.0% showed severe valvular heart disease and 5.1% significant pulmonary hypertension. Relatively to the appropriateness of the TTE requests, 76.5% were appropriate, 7.1% inappropriate and 12.6% uncertain. Regarding the clinical impact of the TTE’s, 42.7% of the exams had an active change in care, 15.6% a continuation of the care and 11.5% revealed no change in care. Age (P=0.05), outpatient versus inpatient setting (P<0.01) and requests made by general practitioners (P=0.02) were the most important predictors of an active change of care exam. In a perspective of healthcare to a more elderly population, the outpatient versus inpatient setting, the presence of significant echocardiographic findings and the no change in care setting have a significant relation with age. Conclusion: The data concluded that almost 8 out of 10 TTE’s were considered appropriate, and 4 out of 10 exams had no active clinical impact.
