Abstract:
Despite the universal importance of vaccines, approaches to human and veterinary vaccine evaluation differ markedly. For human vaccines, vaccine efficacy is the proportion of vaccinated individuals protected by the vaccine against a defined outcome under ideal conditions, whereas for veterinary vaccines the term is used for a range of measures of vaccine protection. The evaluation of vaccine effectiveness , vaccine protection assessed under routine programme conditions, is largely limited to human vaccines. Challenge studies under controlled conditions and sero-conversion studies are widely used when evaluating veterinary vaccines, whereas human vaccines are generally evaluated in terms of protection against natural challenge assessed in trials or post-marketing observational studies. Although challenge studies provide a standardized platform on which to compare different vaccines, they do not capture the variation that occurs under field conditions. Field studies of vaccine effectiveness are needed to assess the performance of a vaccination programme. However, if vaccination is performed without central co-ordination, as is often the case for veterinary vaccines, evaluation will be limited. This paper reviews approaches to veterinary vaccine evaluation in comparison to evaluation methods used for human vaccines. Foot-and-mouth disease has been used to illustrate the veterinary approach. Recommendations are made for standardization of terminology and for rigorous evaluation of veterinary vaccines.

Abstract:
In increasingly demanding environments, organizations need to manage their human resources effectively, as these are fundamental to their success. Therefore, it is important to improve the performance of these resources by conducting systematic evaluations and by collecting information on their productivity, training needs, and individual and team performance. In the context of Information Technologies/Information Systems (IT/IS) projects, there is not much research work focused on human resources performance evaluation. This paper aims to fill this gap by reviewing approaches and methods for performance appraisal, which can be successfully applied in IT/IS projects. Are presented approaches and methods focused on: personality; behaviors; comparison; and outcomes/results.

Abstract:
The article the main traditional approaches to business valuation, namely: profitable, costly and comparative have been explored and analyzed. The main methods within each of the traditional approaches have been investigated. The methods of estimating the value of business by income approach are the method of capitalization of net income, the method of capitalization of dividends, the method of capitalization of excess income and the method of discounting cash flow. The methods of estimating the value of business by the cost approach are: the method of net book value, the method of adjusted book value, the method of estimating the net market value of tangible assets, the replacement cost method, the replacement cost method and the liquidation value method. The methods of estimating the value of business by a comparative approach are the method of industry ratios, the method of comparing sales and the method of multipliers. In addition, it is found that in modern conditions, traditional approaches to assessing the value of the business “in its pure form” are not always used by venture investors, and the most popular methods are contractual, multipliers, discounted cash flow, venture and real options. Synthetic models play an important role today. In world practice, many different approaches are used to assess the value of companies, their assets, business in general. However, the issue of evaluation is still insufficiently addressed. When conducting valuation work in enterprises, many of the existing approaches are either not used at all, or are used very rarely, resulting in practice does not always achieve a comprehensive, complete and objective assessment of the amount of capital. A characteristic feature in determining the value of the business within the application of each of the commonly used methods is the need to take into account various aspects of financial activities, which leads to different estimates of the value of the business, which requires coordination of the results. This situation involves the selection of key cost parameters to obtain the final value of the business. Given the above, there is a need and feasibility to reconcile the results of business valuation methods, which will help to obtain a reasonable value by combining the advantages of each of the traditional methods. Determining the value of the company is one of the most important tasks in the field of corporate governance, which makes it possible to assess the level of competitiveness and success of the company in the market. The process of determining the value is carried out with a specific purpose: calculating the sale price, property insurance, obtaining a loan, etc., which determines the choice of valuation method. Business valuation is the determination of the value of a business as a property complex that can bring profit to the owner. When conducting an appraisal examination, the value of all the company’s assets is determined: real estate, machinery and equipment, inventories, financial investments, intangible assets. In addition, the efficiency of the company, its past, present and future revenues, development prospects and competitive environment in this market are assessed separately, and then the evaluated company is compared with similar companies. On the basis of such a comprehensive analysis, the business is actually assessed as a property complex that can be profitable.

Abstract:
The relevance of an ecosystem approach, which involves addressing ecosystems as an object of research, economically evaluating ecosystem services, and including the existing variety of evaluation methods and their classifications for the estimation of nature’s value, was the focus of this study. So, the aim of the current research is to develop an evaluation theory by refining approaches and methods for the economic evaluation of natural resources and ecosystem services. The research object was the evaluation practice of the former USSR, Russia, and countries outside Russia. Employing research methods of systematization and content analysis with evolutionary and ecosystem approaches, about three hundred scientific papers have been the subject of this review. The study (1) reveals the evolutionary changes in economic evaluation approaches and methods of natural resources and ecosystem services; (2) discloses the features of the existing classifications of economic evaluation methods; and (3) offers the author’s classification, which is based on the five classification criteria: evaluation type, evaluation approaches, evaluation character (nature), evaluation methods, and market discourse. We believe that understanding the development of scientific thought about evaluation methods and their classifications will make it possible to increase the reliability of the estimation results in natural resource and environmental economics.

Abstract:
Empowerment has been a widespread term since the 1990s and is common in contexts as social work, community development, psychology, medicine, and several other areas of human development and health. Empowerment is a process during which a person, an organization, or a community is enabled to identify themselves, to recognize their own power positions and to improve their unequal social situations (Varga, 2017). The evaluation of empowerment outcomes has been missing from the Hungarian professional literature. This review article focuses on the empowerment of adults through educational theatre and drama, and is based on the analysis of previous research results in the area. Empowerment is a multi-level, context-dependent construct, hence, evaluating empowerment outcomes is challenging. Theorists of empowerment warn against creating a general instrument for measurement (Zimmerman, 1995). I reflect on quantitative, qualitative, and combined evaluation methods, such as the Psychological Empowerment Scale (Akey et al., 2000), the Empowerment Evaluation (Fetterman, 2001), and the Empowerment Measuring Tool (Jupp et al., 2010), also taking Wandersman and associates’ (2005) principles for empowerment evaluation into account.

Abstract:
The problems of evaluating the research conducted by the scientific organization, groups of scientists and individual scientists and other actions related to their scientific activities have always been and still remain a serious challenge in modern scientific circles. Dataware and software issues for evaluating the scientific activities are discussed in this paper. Along with the traditional methods of evaluation, altmetrics – a new way of assessing research beyond citation, is taken into account. According to the basic idea of altmetrics, the evaluation of the scientific results should be based not only on the number of published articles and their citations, but also on the responses to the papers published in various sources. This principle gives rise to the idea that the altmetric methodology of dataware can play a crucial role in solving various problems arising in the process of scientific work. Therefore, for overcoming the existing problems in the sphere of research and evaluating scientific results, the information on the involvement of scientists in the context of emerging/existing problems, for which the appropriate recommendations have been elaborated, should be taken into account.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate different approaches and methods used in the oil industry, based on theory, research and industrial experience. An evaluation of three oil companies’ safety culture approaches were therefore conducted; BP Norway, Conoco Phillips Norway and Wintershall Norway, in order to suggest an approach suited for establishing a “good” safety culture according to the Norwegian Framework Regulation §15. The Norwegian petroleum safety authority, Industri Energi (ABClub at BP Norway) and Samarbeid for Sikkerhet were also used to crosscheck the different organizations for similarities and differences to their safety culture approaches and methods, bringing in several aspects of the Norwegian oil industry.The evaluation was mainly based on Hale’s (2000) eight elements, which were used as rationale for a “good” safety culture, according to the Norwegian Framework Regulation § 15. The evaluation was carried out by seven in-depth interviews from the six organizations, with employees in or close to management in order to target the views from the upper management.The results show that the oil companies have implemented many decent measures to establish a “good” safety culture, but still face some challenges to get the desired effect. The different safety culture approaches have managed to address many elements regarded as essential for establishing a “good” safety culture, however, to a various extent. For instance, the results confirm that the culture approach and the behavioural based safety (BBS) approach are better in some areas compared to others, each having their advantages. While the safety culture approach more easily create trust and a common starting point in the organization, the BBS approach is better with regards to involving their employees. Both approaches have, though, demonstrated that with several tools in place the creative mistrust is easily created, regardless of the path chosen. Finally, the results show that both approaches can give lasting changes to the safety culture, however, the culture approach has a better starting point as it provides a more extensive scope. Other research on safety culture has also confirmed this, and further highlights the importance of BBS elements, as it ultimately can pose an effect on the culture.Regarding the desired effect, the assignment also demonstrates that implementation of a safety culture approach alone is not enough to get a desired effect, as many additional success factors also creates challenges, e.g. that successful implementation needs strong commitment from management, as this will positively encourage the employees to follow. Moreover, the result also confirmed that only observing statistical aberrance on safety performance gave no guarantee of a safety culture change. The reason for this is because safety culture is by meaning hard to detect, and it is therefore important to work qualitatively, e.g. by management observation and communication with employees.To conclude, the thesis has shown that it is possible to establish a “good” safety culture using a safety culture approach with various methods, in order to create a lasting change. However, the fact that the companies see their approach as the most preferable creates challenges in the practical life, in relation to implementation of a common approach for the Norwegian oil industry.

Abstract:
After 20 years of development, the concept of behavioural additionality (Buisseret, Cameron and Georghiou, 1995) has achieved important conceptual progress. However, when facing the task of identifying and evaluating the behavioural additionality effect produced by innovation and collaboration policies, three important issues remain: conceptual disagreement, the ‘black-box’ and project fallacy problems, and the need to select a unit of analysis compatible with a holistic perspective on innovation and which does not constrain the type of effects to pre-conditioned behaviours. Motivated by these challenges, this thesis proposes an alternative methodology for evaluating the behavioural additionality dimension of a government-supported policy instrument designed to stimulate and promote collaboration between firms and universities. Thus, in an attempt to close the gap, the thesis explores and merges two complementary frameworks or perspectives: the Case-Based Method (CBM) and the Theory-Based Evaluation (TBE) approach in addition to prior evidence within the evaluation practice of the behavioural additionality effect. The combination of these frameworks results in the proposed methodology, an iterative, three-step evaluation model, where CBM finds its utility as the tool to scope and select the programme focus of analysis, providing an in-depth exploration of the behavioural characteristics of the policy beneficiaries, and TBE helps to develop a programme theory which helps to map the logic of the intervention. In addition to the use of these approaches, another novelty of the approach lies in its incorporation of organisational routines as the unit of analysis (Gök, 2010) and contribution analysis (Mayne, 2012) to attribute policy effects. The methodology is then tested and validated by applying it to six companies (cases) who participated in the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) Scheme, a government-supported policy instrument designed to stimulate and promote collaboration by pairing companies with Higher Education Institutions, which has an extensive track record in the UK. The programme was selected due to its potential for stimulating changes in behaviour. The findings of the case studies provide evidence of modifications in behaviours, either by changing the decision-making process that governs the innovation strategy, or by managing to develop new technological components. This research demonstrates the way in which the CBM and the TBE approaches can each be used as a potential research design for evaluating the behavioural additionality effect. Merging these perspectives produces a systematic approach for understanding organisational behavioural change, leading to an improved decision-making process in designing innovation and collaboration instruments that enact the desired influence upon organisational behaviours.

Full text
Abstract:

This thesis concerns the identifiability issue; which, if any, parameters can be deduced from the input and output behavior of a model? The two types of identifiability concepts, a priori and practical, will be addressed and explained. Two methods for identifiability testing are evaluated and the result shows that the two methods work well if they are combined. The first method is for a priori identifiability analysis and it can determine the a priori identifiability of a system in polynomial time. The result from the method is probabilistic with a high probability of correct answer. The other method takes the simulation approach to determine whether the model is practically identifiable. Non-identifiable parameters manifest themselves as a functional relationship between the parameters and the method uses transformations of the parameter estimates to conclude if the parameters are linked. The two methods are verified on models with known identifiability properties and then tested on some examples from systems biology. Although the output from one of the methods is cumbersome to interpret, the results show that the number of parameters that can be determined in practice (practical identifiability) are far fewer than the ones that can be determined in theory (a priori identifiability). The reason for this is the lack of quality, noise and lack of excitation, of the measurements.


Fokus i denna rapport är på identifierbarhetsproblemet. Vilka parametrar kan unikt bestämmas från en modell? Det existerar två typer av identifierbarhetsbegrepp, a priori och praktisk identifierbarhet, som kommer att förklaras. Två metoder för identifierbarhetstestning är utvärderade och resultaten visar på att de två metoderna fungerar bra om de kombineras med varandra. Den första metoden är för a priori identifierbarhetsanalys och den kan avgöra identifierbarheten för ett system i polynomiell tid. Resultaten från metoden är slumpmässigt med hög sannolikhet för ett korrekt svar. Den andra metoden använder sig av simuleringar för att avgöra om modellen är praktiskt identifierbar. Icke-identifierbara parametrar yttrar sig som funktionella kopplingar mellan parametrar och metoden använder sig av transformationer av parameterskattningarna för att avgöra om parametrarna är kopplade. De två metoderna är verifierade på modeller där identifierbarheten är känd och är därefter testade på några exempel från systembiologi. Trots att resultaten från den ena metoden är besvärliga att tolka visar resultaten på att antalet parametrar som går att bestämma i verkligheten (praktiskt identifierbara) är betydligt färre än de parametrar som kan bestämmas i teorin (a priori identifierbara). Anledningen beror på brist på kvalitet, både brus och brist på excitation, i mätningarna.

Abstract:
Nowadays, there is a belief that organizations should keep improving different aspects of theirenterprise to remain competitive in their business segment. For this purpose, it is required to understand the current state of the enterprise, analyze and evaluate it to be able to figure out suitable change measures. To perform such a process in a systematic and structured way, receiving support from powerful tools is inevitable. Enterprise Modeling is a field that can support improvement processes by developing models to show different aspects of an enterprise. An Enterprise Modeling Method is an important support for the Enterprise Modeling. A method is comprised of different conceptual parts: Perspective, Framework, Method Component (which itself contains Procedure, Notation and Concepts), and Cooperation Principles. In an ideal modeling process, both the process and the results are of high quality. One dimension of quality which is in focus in this thesis is efficiency. The issue of efficiency evaluation in Enterprise Modeling still seems to be a rather unexploited research area. The thesis investigates three aspects of Enterprise Modeling Methods: what is the meaning of efficiency in this context, how can efficiency be evaluated and in what phases of a modeling process could efficiency be evaluated. The contribution of the thesis is an approach for evaluation of efficiency in Enterprise Modeling Methods based also on several case studies. The evaluation approach is constituted by efficiency criteria that should be met by (different parts of) a method. While a subset of these criteria always need to be fulfilled in a congruent way, fulfillment of the rest of the criteria depends on the application case. To help the user in initial evaluation of a method, a structure of driving questions is presented.

Abstract:
Implementing evidence-based practices within complex health systems is an ongoing challenge. In multisite implementation trials, success is often variable. Process evaluations are crucial in understanding factors affecting trial outcomes. Lynch syndrome is a hereditary cancer predisposition conferring a high risk of colorectal and other cancers, and is underdiagnosed due to poor genetic referral practices. Implementation science methods may enhance efforts to improve Lynch syndrome referral, whilst producing knowledge transferrable to other contexts. The Hide and Seek Project (HaSP) is a randomised controlled trial testing two approaches –distinguished only by the use of behaviour change theory – aimed at improving Lynch syndrome referral at seven Australian hospitals. A mixed-methods, theory-driven process evaluation was conducted to examine contextual moderators, identify mechanisms of action, assess implementation outcomes (including costs) and explore the role of theory. Data sources included interviews, focus groups, questionnaires, and project logs. Results were analysed and triangulated, guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). A systematic review of the literature identified that genetic referral interventions are rarely informed by implementation science, nor accompanied by process evaluations. Findings from the HaSP process evaluation to date have demonstrated that explicit use of theory yielded a broader range of barriers and intervention strategies, enhanced behavioural specificity, and provided a useful structure to guide intervention design. CFIR-guided analysis highlighted contextual moderators likely to impact effectiveness (e.g., culture, implementation climate, tension for change). Logic models provided explicit representation of the conceptual relationships between multiple variables, and the causal mechanisms by which interventions produce their effects. Whilst clinical outcomes are yet to be assessed, potential precursors for implementation success have been identified at a number of sites. Overall, findings highlight the value of process evaluations in understanding causal pathways and conditions necessary for success.

Full text
Abstract:
Il soggetto di questo lavoro è l’appropriatezza degli approcci e dei metodi di valutazione per lo studio di un evaluando specifico, ossia i Family Group Decision Making Models utilizzati principalmente nell’ambito del lavoro sociale con le famiglie e i minorenni (Hudson et al., 1996; Marsh & Crow, 1998; Lupton & Nixon, 1999). Al fine di raggiungere questa finalità, la ricerca combina due strumenti realizzati ‘su misura’ per questo studio, la metavalutazione delle ricerche internazionali e la sintesi degli approcci. Lo studio prende infatti spunto dall’invito di Smith (2010, p.5) a ‘considerare i risultati di tutte le ricerche non solo di quelle sperimentali’ e quindi non si limita a prendere in considerazione valutazioni di stampo positivista, ma è ‘inclusiva’ nel senso che accoglie le diverse visioni ontologiche presenti nel panorama valutativo internazionale. L’analisi metavalutativa (Scriven, 1969; Stafflebeam, 2001) si concentra sulla disamina trasversale, approfondita e critica dei disegni di valutazione delle ricerche internazionali utilizzate per studiare i modelli FGDM; mentre la sintesi degli approcci si focalizza su cosa gli approcci, appunto sanno dire in merito all'oggetto di valutazione e alle dimensioni valutative dell’implementazione, del processo e dell’efficacia. La sintesi risponde quindi alla domanda: cosa sono in grado di mettere in luce e cosa lasciano in ombra i diversi approcci alla valutazione (Stame, 2001) rispetto alla comprensione dei modelli FGDM? Il punto di partenza di questo lavoro è, infatti, il fermo rifiuto del paradigma dell’approccio e del metodo ‘migliore in assoluto’ – the Best - per valutare qualsiasi oggetto di ricerca (Bezzi, 2001; Palumbo, 2001; Pawson, 2006). Altrettanto, ulteriore punto di avvio è la propensione a riflettere in termini di coerenza concettuale e operativa tra evaluando, contesto di implementazone – culturale, organizzativo, professionale – e disegno di valutazione, soprattutto nella primaria scelta dell’approccio o degli approcci di valutazione (Stame, 2001; Ciucci, 2008). La ricerca è, quindi, uno studio induttivo che parte dalla situazione particolare dei modelli di presa di decisioni famigliari per effettuare generalizzazioni e suggerire raccomandazioni (Scriven, 2004; 1997) sul tema della loro valutazione ed implementazione – anche di oggetti di valutazione simili -nonchè di fornire strumenti di ricerca utilizzabili anche in altri contesti – metavalutazione e sintesi degli approcci.

Abstract:
It is generally recognized that the magnitude of recreation resource impacts should be judged by their severity and spatial qualities, including extent, distribution, and association. Previous investigations, however, have primarily focused on assessing the severity of impacts, with limited examination of spatial qualities. The goal of this dissertation was to expand our understanding of the spatial dimension of recreation resource impacts and their assessment and evaluation. Two empirical data sets collected from a comprehensive recreation impact assessment and monitoring project in Great Smoky Mountains National Park provided the basis for the analyses. Three spatial issues were examined and presented as three papers, designed for journal submission. The purpose of the first paper was to improve our understanding of the dimensional structure and spatial patterns of camping impacts by means of multivariate analyses and mapping. Factor analysis of 195 established campsites on eight impact indicator variables revealed three dimensions of campsite impact: land disturbance, soil and groundcover damage, and tree-related damage. Cluster analysis yielded three distinctive campsite types that characterize both the intensity and areal extent of camping impacts. Spatial patterns and site attributes of these three campsite types and an additional group of primitive campsites were illustrated and discussed. The purpose of the second paper was to examine the influence of sampling interval on the accuracy of selected trail impact indicator estimates for the widely applied systematic point sampling method. A resampling-simulation method was developed and applied. Simulation results indicated that using systematic point sampling for estimating lineal extent of trail impact problems can achieve an excellent level of accuracy at sampling intervals of less than 100 m, and a reasonably good level of accuracy at intervals between 100 and 500 m. The magnitude of accuracy loss could be higher when the directions of loss are not considered. The responses of accuracy loss on frequency of occurrence estimates to increasing sampling intervals were consistent across impact types, approximating an inverse asymptotic curve. These findings suggest that systematic point sampling using an interval of less than 500 m can be an appropriate method for estimating the lineal extent, but not for estimating occurrence of trail impacts. Further investigations are called for to examine the generalizability of these results to other areas. The purpose of the third paper was to expand the scope of indices used for evaluating recreation resource impacts. Two specific objectives were to synthesize the recreation ecology and recreation resource management literature on the use of spatial indicators and indices, and to propose and apply selected spatial indices that are mostly lacking in the literature. Three spatial indices primarily adapted from the geography and ecology literature were proposed for application in recreation impact evaluation. Application results demonstrated that the Lorenz curve and associated Gini coefficient, and the linear nearest-neighbor analysis and associated LR ratio were effective in quantifying the spatial distribution patterns of trail impacts at landscape and trail scales, respectively. Application results of the third index, the impact association index, were less promising and require further refinements. Management implications and future directions of research were discussed in light of the findings of this dissertation. As the field of recreation ecology is emerging, this dissertation has demonstrated: (1) the value of recreation impact assessment and monitoring programs in providing data for examining the spatial dimension of impacts, and (2) the utility of spatial analytical approaches in understanding recreation impact assessment and evaluation.

Abstract:
Efforts in the United States and abroad to address the chronic disease epidemic have led to the emergence of voluntary industry agreements as a substitute for regulatory approaches to improve the healthfulness of foods and beverages. Because of the lack of access to data and limited budgets, evaluations of these agreements have often been limited to process evaluation with less focus on outcomes and impact. Increasing scientific scope and rigor in evaluating voluntary food and beverage industry agreements would improve potential public health benefits and understanding of the effects of these agreements. We describe how evaluators can provide formative, process, and outcome assessment and discuss challenges and opportunities for impact assessment. We explain how logic models, industry profiles, quasi-experimental designs, mixed-methods approaches, and third-party data can improve the effectiveness of agreement design and evaluation. These methods could result in more comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of voluntary industry agreements, thus providing data to bolster the public health impacts of future agreements. However, improved access to data and larger evaluation budgets will be needed to support improvements in evaluation.

Abstract:
A central issue in impact evaluation is supporting quick data collection and analyses while an intervention is being rolled out to assist urgent decision-making or update knowledge of what works. This paper reviews approaches to timely evaluation that balance speed with rigour of analysis and are often combined with more standard evaluation methods. We review approaches to timely evaluation from different traditions and combine them in a conceptual framework that describes their goals, speed, and how they address complexity. Each method is paired with a case study to illustrate its value for international development evaluation research.

Abstract:
Timely evaluations produce results when they are needed to inform decision making while using appropriate, rigorous designs. While traditionally evaluations are carried out at the end of a programme, this brief explores methods for evaluation during the course of a programme. Such approaches are important for informing decisions on project design for which information is needed in a timely manner. Timely evaluations can be used when trying out new intervention approaches, when working in a new context, or when the context is rapidly changing.

Abstract:
Our paper addresses the question, why systemic approaches have only played a modest role in impact evaluations of in- novation and technology programmes so far and examines possible reasons for this shortcoming, as well as discussing solutions that could be offered to remedy the existing deficit. While the need for a systemic approach to evaluations has been stressed quite often, the methodological challenges and reasons for the lack of systemic evaluations in practice have to our knowledge not yet been addressed in a systematical manner. This contribution is conceptual in nature and based on a review of the research literature on the use of systemic approaches in evaluations of the impact of R&I policy programmes. The analysis shows that the use of systemic methods encounters both epistemological and institutional obstacles. Suggestions are made for the further development of the methodological repertoire by including suitable systemic approaches.

In this CEDIL Methods Brief, we identify four types of complex development interventions: long causal chain interventions, multicomponent interventions, portfolio interventions, and system-level interventions. These interventions are characterised by multiple activities, multiple outcomes, multiple components, a high level of interconnectedness, and non-linear outcomes. We identify a number of approaches that support the evaluation of different types of complex interventions.

Abstract:
While conventional interventions and evaluations address the symptoms of the learning crisis, there is growing acknowledgement that widespread and sustained learning improvements will require systems approaches that diagnose and address the root causes of low learning. This paper presents and applies three methods to evaluate education systems and inform how to improve system coherence for learning. First, we use learning trajectories to evaluate the dynamics of children’s learning in 22 low- and middle-income countries. Second, we present a set of principles called the ALIGNS principles and show how they can be used to evaluate and improve alignment of curricula, assessments, and teacher support and instruction. Finally, we present a systems diagnostic framework and apply it to a program in South Africa, showing how the program takes a systems approach to improve learning. These tools help concretize systems thinking and bring insights to bear on the design and evaluation of policies and programs intended to improve learning.

Abstract:
Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a promising yet underutilized tool in the international development field. SNA entails collecting and analyzing data to characterize and visualize social networks, where nodes represent network members and edges connecting nodes represent relationships or exchanges among them. SNA can help both researchers and practitioners understand the social, political, and economic relational dynamics at the heart of international development programming. It can inform program design, monitoring, and evaluation to answer questions related to where people get information; with whom goods and services are exchanged; who people value, trust, or respect; who has power and influence and who is excluded; and how these dynamics change over time. This brief advances the case for use of SNA in international development, outlines general approaches, and discusses two recently conducted case studies that illustrate its potential. It concludes with recommendations for how to increase SNA use in international development.

Technical guide for the development, evaluation, and modification of stream assessment methods for the Corps Regulatory Program. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), October 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/42182.

Full text
Abstract:
The U.S. Army Corps Regulatory Program considers the loss (impacts) and gain (compensatory mitigation) of aquatic resource functions as part of Clean Water Act Section 404 permitting and compensatory mitigation decisions. To better inform this regulatory decision-making, the Regulatory Program needs transparent and objective approaches to assess the function and condition of aquatic resources, including streams. Therefore, the Regulatory Program needs function-based stream assessments (1) to characterize a stream’s condition or function, (2) to improve understanding of the impact of a proposed action on an aquatic resource, and/or (3) to inform the development of stream compensatory mitigation tools rooted in stream condition and/or function. A function-based stream assessment can provide regulatory decision makers with the resources to objectively consider alternatives, minimize impacts, assess unavoidable impacts, determine mitigation requirements, and monitor the success of mitigation projects. A multiagency National Committee on Stream Assessment (NCSA) convened to create these guidelines to inform the development of new methods and evaluation of both national-level and regional methods currently in use. The resulting guidelines present nine phases, including rationale and recommendations to facilitate work efforts. The NCSA hopes that this technical guide promotes transparency, technical defensibility, and consistent application of stream assessments in the Regulatory Program.
