Full textIn general, the process of learning implies that a pattern to-be-learned is integrated into an initial repertory. To gain further insight into this problematic of integration, we have developed two lines of research. The first one identifies the principles underlying the learning of several bimanual coordination patterns. Thus, we studied the evolution of the repertory due to such variable practice. We observed that the repertory constraints and structures the learning process following a symmetry conservation principle. The second axe concerns the mechanisms underlying the integration of a new coordination pattern. We studied the relation between the sensory consequences, the motor commands and the to-be-learned pattern. By an original used of the degree of asymmetry between the coordinated limbs, we showed that regardless of the motor outflow command, leaning is based on the sensory consequences related to the pattern to be learned. Set at two distinct levels of analysis (principle and mechanism), this two experiments are discussed from a dynamical systems perspective

Two considerations are critical for efforts to mitigate nutrient runoff from nonpoint sources: cost effectiveness of strategies to reduce nutrient runoff and landowners' incentives to participate in these programs. This dissertation is composed of three manuscripts, aiming to evaluate the cost effectiveness of government subsidy programs for water quality management in agriculture and investigate the landowner's incentives to participate in water quality trading programs for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Chapter 1 investigates gains from targeting Best Management Practices (BMPs) under current and future climate conditions based on the soil characteristics relative to uniform BMP application for a small experimental watershed (4.23km2). Chapter 2 scales up the study area to a 71,000 km2 watershed and treats each county within the watershed as a representative farm to explore economic gains from targeting within county and across county based on counties' physical conditions and agricultural patterns. Both Chapters show that cost-effectiveness of government subsidy programs can be improved by spatial targeting BMPs to areas with lower abatement costs. Gains from targeting increase under climate change. In Chapter 3 we shows how a landowner's revenues from nutrient credit selling will be affected if the credits are allowed to be banked for future use when she faces price uncertainty. We find that gains to the landowner from credit banking increase more with higher price volatility than with higher price drift. Gains from banking are largely reduced by transaction costs associated with trading.

Full textCompanies offer volunteering activities and training & development for several reasons but mainly because it is an investment that can have a great impact in one variable with major importance within every company: labor retention, once socially responsible companies are likely viewed as better companies to work with and which value more their employees and their interests and values. Using survey information collected from 100 business professionals, this exploratory study proposed that the investment in both company-sponsored volunteering and training & development will have a positive impact in affective commitment and organizational identification that as last result will reduce the employees’ turnover intentions and consequently there will be a higher retention rate of employees in the company. This is crucial for companies nowadays because it is a competitive advantage which makes them stand out from others, once these socially responsible companies are able to keep their employees trained and with values aligned with the ones that characterize the company, getting positive outcomes from the investment they are making in human capital. Using a sample of 65 employees from different industries and roles within the company, results indicated that these CSR measures have a statistically significant impact on turnover intentions and, by consequence on labor retention.

Full textBenchmarking is considered one of the best performance analysis techniques to drive actions that will lead the company to a higher performance. The data collection phase is the one that requires more time and effort in the practice of benchmarking. The development of a database with pre-defined indicators favors the comparison of the performance of business processes. The objective of this research is to select a set of quantitative indicators of continuous variables for financial benchmarking practice, profitability, innovation and productivity, that are representative for benchmarking practice in Brazil and worldwide. It also aims to ascertain and list financial indicators of profitability, innovation and productivity used by the Benchmarking Index for corporate awards, journals and business support agencies. Representative indicators are those of widespread use in the business environment, easy to collect primary and secondary source and allow a comparison with banks of national and international data. As a methodological reference, we picked up an european benchmarking system - Benchmarking Index - with financial indicators of profitability, innovation and productivity. Through bibliographical research on corporate indicators and documentary research in technical journals, corporate awards and business support agencies, selected a set of indicators to determine the national database. The indicators were validated by application in micro and small enterprises (MSEs), medium and large companies. It was concluded that it is possible to develop a data base for benchmarking with predominantly financial ratios and profitability. It showed up the implementation of difficulty MSE due to failure to follow these indicators, although many of them can collect the indicators. It was observed also that these indicators are available in specialized magazines and have similar concepts, but with variations in composition. Finally, among the proposed indicators that are well spread in the business world, although there is no similar used in the Benchmarking Index, we highlight the indicators EBITDA, EBITDA margin and EBITDA variation.
Considera-se o benchmarking uma das melhores tÃcnicas de anÃlise de desempenho para direcionar aÃÃes que levarÃo a empresa para um desempenho superior. A fase de coleta de dados à a que demanda mais tempo e esforÃo na prÃtica do benchmarking. A elaboraÃÃo de uma base de dados com indicadores prÃ-definidos favorece a comparaÃÃo do desempenho de processos empresariais. O objetivo desta pesquisa à selecionar um grupo de indicadores quantitativos de variÃveis contÃnuas para prÃtica de benchmarking financeiro, de rentabilidade, de inovaÃÃo e de produtividade que sejam representativos para a prÃtica de benchmarking no Brasil e no mundo. Objetiva-se tambÃm averiguar e listar indicadores financeiros, de rentabilidade, de inovaÃÃo e de produtividade utilizados pelo Benchmarking Index, por prÃmios empresariais, revistas especializadas e por ÃrgÃos de apoio empresarial. Indicadores representativos sÃo aqueles de uso disseminado no meio empresarial, de fÃcil coleta em fonte primÃrias e secundÃrias e que permitam a comparaÃÃo com bancos de dados nacionais e internacionais. Como referÃncia metodolÃgica, escolheu-se o sistema de benchmarking europeu - Benchmarking Index - com indicadores financeiros, de rentabilidade, de inovaÃÃo e de produtividade. Por meio de pesquisa bibliogrÃfica sobre indicadores empresariais e de pesquisa documental em revistas tÃcnicas, prÃmios empresariais e ÃrgÃos de apoio empresarial selecionou-se um conjunto de indicadores para compor o banco de dados nacional. Os indicadores foram validados atravÃs de aplicaÃÃo em micro e pequenas empresas (MPE), empresas de mÃdio e de grande porte. Concluiu-se que à possÃvel elaborar uma base de dados para benchmarking com predominÃncia de indicadores financeiros e de rentabilidade. Evidenciou-se a dificuldade de aplicaÃÃo em MPEâs, devido ao fato de estas nÃo acompanharem estes indicadores, embora muitas delas possam coletÃ-los. Observou-se, ainda, que esses indicadores estÃo disponÃveis em revistas especializadas e que apresentam conceitos similares, mas com variaÃÃes na sua composiÃÃo. Por Ãltimo, dentre os indicadores propostos que sÃo bem disseminados no meio empresarial, embora nÃo haja similares utilizado no Benchmarking Index, destacam-se os indicadores EBITDA, margem EBITDA e variaÃÃo EBITDA.
Kastern, Amanda A. "Loan Awarding Practices and Student Demographic Variables as Predictors of Law Student Borrowing." Thesis, The George Washington University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3680714.
Full textAbstract of Dissertation Loan Awarding Practices and Student Demographic Variables as Predictors of Law Student Borrowing This study examined the effect of institutional loan awarding practices and student demographic characteristics on law student borrowing, in order to contribute to our understanding of student borrowing decisions. Behavioral economic concepts like framing and status quo bias suggest that decisions about borrowing may not be made using a rational cost-benefit analysis alone, as traditional economic theory suggests, but may also be influenced by the loan amount that an institution initially awards a student. The amount initially awarded represents the status quo, which, for a variety of possible reasons, the student may be inclined to accept, even if he is eligible to borrow more.
Using three years of student borrowing data from a law school, multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of initial loan amount offered and 15 additional independent variables on loan amount borrowed. The law school data provided a unique opportunity to study student loan borrowing decisions because the institution followed two different loan awarding practices in the three academic years for which data was obtained. This provided a quasi-experimental environment in which to study the effect of initial loan amount awarded on loan amount borrowed.
Altogether, the model explained nearly half of the variance in loan amount borrowed and initial loan amount offered explained 5.4 percent of the variance in loan amount borrowed holding all other variables in the model constant. In addition to initial loan amount offered, the following variables were also found to be statistically significant predictors of loan amount borrowed: Asian race, age, being married, Expected Family Contribution, cost of attendance, class level, student status, total credits, and total non-loan aid. It was also found that there was no statistically significant difference in the relation between initial loan amount offered and loan amount borrowed in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010, under the old awarding practice, as compared with 2010-2011, when a new awarding practice was in place. This suggests that students responded similarly to the initial loan amount offered, or the status quo amount, under both the old and new awarding practices.

Full textUntil the advent of non-invasive neuroimaging modalities the knowledge of the human brain came from the study of its lesions, post-mortem analyses and invasive experimentations. Nowadays, modern imaging techniques such as fMRI are revealing several aspects of the human brain with progressively high spatio-temporal resolution. However, in order to answer increasingly complex neuroscientific questions the technical improvements in acquisition must be matched with novel data analysis methods. In this thesis we examine different applications of machine learning to the processing of fMRI data. We propose novel extensions and investigate the theoretical properties of different models. % The goal of an fMRI experiments is to answer a neuroscientific question. However, it is usually not possible to perform hypothesis testing directly on the data output by the fMRI scanner. Instead, fMRI data enters a processing pipeline in which it suffers several transformations before conclusions are drawn. Often the data acquired through the fMRI scanner follows a feature extraction step in which time-independent activation coefficients are extracted from the fMRI signal. The first contribution of this thesis is the introduction a model named Rank-1 GLM (R1-GLM) for the joint estimation of time-independent activation coefficients and the hemodynamic response function (HRF). We quantify the improvement of this approach with respect to existing procedures on different fMRI datasets. The second part of this thesis is devoted to the problem of fMRI-based decoding, i.e., the task of predicting some information about the stimuli from brain activation maps. From a statistical standpoint, this problem is challenging due to the high dimensionality of the data, often thousands of variables, while the number of images available for training is small, typically a few hundreds. We examine the case in which the target variable consist of discretely ordered values. The second contribution of this thesis is to propose the following two metrics to assess the performance of a decoding model: the absolute error and pairwise disagreement. We describe several models that optimize a convex surrogate of these loss functions and examine their performance on different fMRI datasets. Motivated by the success of some ordinal regression models for the task of fMRI-based decoding, we turn to study some theoretical properties of these methods. The property that we investigate is known as consistency or Fisher consistency and relates the minimization of a loss to the minimization of its surrogate. The third, and most theoretical, contribution of this thesis is to examine the consistency properties of a rich family of surrogate loss functions that are used in the context of ordinal regression. We give sufficient conditions for the consistency of the surrogate loss functions considered. This allows us to give theoretical reasons for some empirically observed differences in performance between surrogates

Full textSince the landmark Coleman Report was issued in 1966 and questioned whether School Practice, or inputs, may have any effects on student performance, there has been considerable debate in the educational community regarding the role that School Practice may play in learning. More contemporary research has suggested that such factors as teacher training and retention, class and school size, and spending per student, may all have impacts on student academic achievement. Many of the studies that have found School Practice to be influential on higher levels of achievement proficiency have been criticized by others in the professional community for not considering School Context. School Context includes those features of schools over which teachers and administrators have little decision-making authority, such as the socioeconomic, ethnic, and linguistic background of the students at that school, or the school's attendance rate.
Others have found that for disadvantaged minorities, School Practice may have greater effects than for the general population. This study provides evidence that for Hispanic students, School Practice contributes a small amount to explaining differences in English language arts and mathematics achievement, considering the much larger effects of School Context.
Additionally, this research suggests that School Practice may have different effects based on geography and subject area content. Specifically, the results of this study suggest that School Practice may be more meaningful for mathematics than for English language arts. School Practice may also have greater effects in schools that are not located in wealthy suburban counties, such as those that surround New York City. In spite of the aggregate small effects of School Practice, there were two variables that were particularly important for their effects on both ELA and mathematics achievement. These variables were the percentage of teachers at a school with advanced levels of training, which had a small positive effect; and the teacher turnover rate, which to a degree had a negative impact on student achievement.

Full textThe interactions and living together of generations aim to the sharing of public places and living spaces, on the scale of a family, a city, a social or cultural framework. But this does not prevent that there may be changes in the transmission of values and intergenerational traditions, with the introduction of new technologies, in the daily lives of individuals. Due to this mix of generations, urban/rural relations and the sharing of an appropriate space, private/public, gave rise to identity competition and a change in the language practices of individuals. Attias-Donfut (1995), Arrondel and Masson (1999), among others, admit that the mobilization of language resources, the know-how of actors in the prevention of social risks and the construction of collective responses, have a positive impact on social development.In this study, we gave priority to language sciences to see if we can address the issue of linguistic change at the theoretical and descriptive levels. Thus, we try to answer these questions: What is the impact of this new code or of this new popular French on the French language in general and on language exchanges in particular, between the generation of yesterday noted X (1960-1980) and today’s Y (1980-1997)? How do the speaker and interlocutor of these two generations respond to their language needs? What are the factors for the evolution of linguistic situations? How do they act? And what do they suggest? Finally, on what basis should we decide that the differences between linguistic situations are the product of changes and not substitutions/transformations? The objective of this work is to experiment with a theoretical modeling of the intergenerational discursive marks, relating to the characteristic facts of a generation, a territory, a linguistic change and language practices. Indeed, a language can exist only because its speakers preserve its existence through linguistic practices, represented and/or effective. Two different descriptive and analytical experiments were carried out to analyze and discuss the relationship between linguistic change and contemporary language variations, in particular linguistic and sociolinguistic awareness. A detailed study is proposed for this purpose. It includes: 1. On the Declared Language Practices (Representations) side, a semi-directive survey in the form of interviews based on two different pre-determined questionnaires with a separate audience in two different territories in Algeria, University of Batna 2, and in France, the University of Lorraine-Metz; 2. On the Effective Language Practices side, media representations, in the form of an analytical study of a variety and entertainment program, available on the TF1 television channel, Koh-Lanta «The Clash of Generations» 2017. We have identified the analytical grids of this program, located in time and space, as well as the intergenerational language practices as represented by the media
