Resumen

Health systems worldwide experience large evidence practice gaps with underuse of proven therapies, overuse of inappropriate treatments and misuse of treatments due to medical error. Quality improvement (QI) initiatives have been shown to overcome some of these gaps. Computerised interventions, in particular, are potential enablers to improving system performance. However, implementation of these interventions into routine practice has resulted in mixed outcomes and those that have been successfully integrated into routine practice are difficult to sustain. The objective of this thesis is to understand how a multifaceted, computerised QI intervention for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and management was implemented in Australian general practices and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and assess the implications for scale-up of the intervention. The intervention was implemented as part of a large cluster-randomised controlled trial, the TORPEDO (Treatment of Cardiovascular Risk using Electronic Decision Support) study. The intervention was associated with improved guideline recommended cardiovascular risk factor screening rates but had mixed impact on improving medication prescribing rates. In this thesis, I designed a multimethod process and economic evaluation of the TORPEDO trial. The aims were to: i. Develop a theory-informed logic model to assist in the design of the overall evaluation to address study aims (Chapter 3). ii. Conduct a post-trial audit to quantify changes in cardiovascular risk factor screening and prescribing to high risk patients over an 18-month post-trial period and understand the impact of the intervention outside of a research trial setting (Chapter 4). vi iii. Use normalisation process theory to identify the underlying mechanisms by which the intervention did and did not have an impact on trial outcomes (Chapter 5). iv. Use video ethnography to explore how the intervention was used and cardiovascular risk communicated between patients and healthcare providers (Chapter 6). v. Conduct an economic evaluation to inform policy makers for delivering the intervention at scale through Primary Health Networks in New South Wales (Chapter 7). vi. Use a new theory to explain the factors that drove adoption and non-adoption of the intervention and assess what modifications may be needed to promote spread and scale-up (Chapter 8). I found variable outcomes during the post-trial period with a plateauing of improvements in guideline recommended screening practices but an ongoing improvement in prescribing to high risk patients. The group that continued to have the most benefit was patients at high CVD risk who were not receiving recommended medications at baseline. The delay in prescribing recommended medication suggests healthcare providers adopt a cautious approach when introducing new treatments. Six intervention primary healthcare services participated as case studies for the process evaluation. Qualitative and quantitative data sources were combined at each primary healthcare service to enable a detailed examination of intervention implementation from multiple perspectives. The process evaluation identified the complex interaction between several underlying mechanisms that influenced the implementation processes and explained the mixed trial outcomes: (1) organisational mission; (2) leadership; (3) the role of teams; (4) technical competence and dependability of the software tools. Further, there were different ‘active ingredients’ vii necessary during the initial implementation compared to those needed to sustain use of the intervention. In the video ethnography and post-consultation patient interviews, important insights were gained into how the intervention was used, and its interpretation by the doctor and patient. Through ethnographic accounts, the doctor’s communication of cardiovascular risk was not sufficient in engaging patients and having them act upon their high-risk status; effective communication required interactions be assessed, discussed and negotiated. The economic evaluation identified the cost implications of implementing the intervention as part of a Primary Health Network program in the state of New South Wales, Australia; and modelled data looked at the impact of small but statistically significant reductions in clinical risk factors based on the trial data. When scaled to a larger population the intervention has potential to prevent major CVD events at under AU$50,000 per CVD event averted largely due to the low costs of implementing the intervention. However, the clinical risk factor reductions were small and a stronger case for investment would be made if the effects sizes could be enhanced and sustained over time. The findings from chapters 4-6 provide insight into the intricacy of the barriers influencing implementation processes and adoption of the intervention. Taken together, these studies provide a detailed explanation of the processes that may be required to implement such an intervention at scale and the factors that might influence its impact and sustainability. The findings are expected to assist policy makers, administrators and health professionals in developing multiple interdependent QI strategies at the organisational, provider and consumer levels to improve primary healthcare system performance for cardiovascular disease management and prevention.

Resumen

AIM: The study aimed to evaluate and utilise a method which allowed for more widespread views of looked-after children to be captured. As well as exploring these views longitudinally, to offer an understanding of the impact of being in care over time. METHOD: The views of 171 looked-after children, aged 10-14 years, collected via computerised self-interviewing technology (CASI), were analysed using a mixed method, longitudinal design. The surveys open-questions were analysed using thematic analysis. The themes and subthemes informed which of the closed-questions were explored using frequency tables and a repeated measures analysis, to investigate whether the children’s responses changed over time. FINDINGS: The findings from the qualitative analysis revealed that some children felt frustrated with adults not listening, keeping them informed and being unreliable. Many children wish to return home - or at least increase contact with their family, many children miss their friends and home community, and expressed emotional distress as a result. Alongside these findings, there were children expressing positive achievements and experiences of being in care. In contrast, the quantitative findings were encouraging, revealing that over 80% of children express satisfaction with their placement, foster carer, and felt listened to. Over 70% expressed satisfaction with access to their social worker, friends, family and hobbies. Over half of the children reported minimal feelings of anger or frustration and were content with the amount of information they received. The longitudinal analysis showed that these views only slightly change over time, which is positive for those children reporting high levels of satisfaction, but it does suggest a number of children remain vulnerable throughout their time in care. CONCLUSION: This study makes a valuable contribution to the knowledge base regarding using CASI to capture the voices of looked after children, as well as discussing the impact being in care has on these children over time.

Resumen

This research is motivated by the interest in understanding the usage of the Generalised Audit Software (GAS) by external auditors within public accounting firms. GAS is a tool used by auditors to automate various audit tasks. It helps auditors to analyse accounting data electronically where it is quite impossible to do so manually. GAS is claimed to be the most influential Computer Assisted Audit Tools and Technique (CAATTs) that can facilitate the audit objective. However, research has found that there is little evidence that auditors have extensively adopted GAS. Even greater benefits have been promoted since the existence of GAS, but auditors do not really seem to be interested in this tool. Most previous studies have focused on either internal auditors, large accounting firms, other countries or merely adopters of GAS. However, there is little evidence that the study of GAS has been conducted on external auditors, especially in small and medium sized accounting firms in the United Kingdom (UK). This study helps to fill this gap by exploring the use of GAS among them, and covers both adopters and non-adopters of GAS. Through an online survey using both close and open-ended questions, this issue has been investigated among registered statutory auditors. The primary aim of this study is to explore the current usage of GAS and to understand the factors that influence the use of GAS as well as the perceptions and expectations of using GAS. The views are gathered from both auditors who are already implementing GAS and those who are not using GAS. A framework was developed to identify a range of relevant factors which are important when considering the application of GAS. Responses from 205 statutory auditors across the UK were then mapped against the framework. Of the 14 variables used to test the factors that influence the use of GAS, only six of them are found to be significant from logistic regression analysis. These are firm size, experience of auditors in computerised auditing, organisational influence, client factor, audit engagement allocation and perceived usefulness. The findings show that the utilisations of GAS is unusually low among audit firms in the UK. Almost 73% of external auditors make no use of GAS, due to the limited perceived benefit of using GAS for auditing small clients. While some respondents recognised the advantages of GAS, they were put off by what they believed to be high implementation costs; the significant learning curve and adoption process; and lack of ease of use. Some auditors expressed their awareness of GAS, but most of them showed a preference for using traditional auditing methods instead. A few problems have also been identified in causing the limitation of GAS usage. This study contributes to the literature on suggestions to improve the use of GAS that can be used by small and medium sized public accounting firm, which is lacking in existing research related to this group. In sum, this study has deepened current understanding of the GAS usage among small and medium sized audit firms in the UK, and has provided useful insights for audit professionals, software developers, vendors, standards setters, academicians and researchers. This study has also opened up the possibilities for further study on GAS or related areas either in the UK or other places in the world.

Resumen

The work reported in this dissertation investigates the potential for embedding Computerised Adaptive Testing (CAT) in students' and tutors' educational experiences. It seems that the tailored assessments that CAT can provide would be of real educational value in a range of contemporary Higher Education settings, however the resource requirements of some forms of CAT are prohibitive for making CAT assessments available to students across their studies. A form of CAT that is less resource intensive than other forms, the Flexilevel test, was selected for this programme of research to investigate its effectiveness in real educational contexts and explore possible applications for the approach. Ten empirical studies and a real data simulation study were conducted to test the effectiveness of the approach. It was found to show statistically significant correlations with other forms of assessment - in particular conventional Computer Based Testing (CBT) assessments, which is commonly used in contemporary educational settings. Another strand of work concerned the attitudes of stakeholders to the approach. Part of this work was carried out through the empirical studies, and further studies including interviews were also undertaken to explore the views of academic staff and students to the use of the Flexilevel test. Both groups were positive about the use of the Flexilevel test and this was taken to support the idea that academic staff and students would accept the use of the Flexilevel test in their educational experiences. In terms of both effectiveness and the acceptability of the approach to academic staff and students, the Flexilevel test was found to be a good candidate for embedding CAT in real educational contexts in Higher Education.

Resumen

In this thesis have an implementation of a maintenance program called Computerized Maintenance Management System that has been developed together with the personal from SKF. The work has been conducted for 10 weeks at Sapa Thermal Heat Transfer (Shanghai) Ltd on the maintenance department. Sapa manufacture, sell and deliver to the automobile market. The goal has been to understand and learn how to use the new computer system CMMS. It shall help Sapa to save on doing unnecessary maintenance and make it easier to order spare part, scheduled maintenance and to see the problems and the solution the problems in the CMMS database. My report is limited to parts of the CMMS. The edge guides critical points that are the position transducer and the vertical roller bearing. I describe the failures that can occur and recommend some solutions to the problems. With the creation of different concepts, explanations are given to guide you to the right solution. I give a short introduction to the current maintenance in Sapa and how to update the database through the creating of a user manual directed to Sapa. Interviews have been conducted at Sapa maintenance department with SKF and API Pro personal. The biggest helping tool has been from the CMMS there I have been able to read about current problems with the edge guide. Fact has also been taken from the Internet and material provided by Sapa The report shows a few recommendations and helping tools for how to continue the update in the CMMS for the new hot mill. Optimize the maintenance to the smallest component with the goal of saving money and production time. The reason is that CMMS shall contribute to manage the maintenance so much that the machine should have availability above 90 percent.

Resumen

Inverse problems are a class of problems that often appear in science. They canbe thought of as calculating the cause that corresponds to measured data, andit is the opposite (i.e. inverse) of a direct problem, where data is calculated froma known source. In Computerized Tomography (CT), which is an importantnon-invasive imaging method in medicine, inverse problems arise when wewant to reconstruct the inner structure of the physical body from indirectmeasurements. In this thesis we investigate dierent methods for CT imagereconstruction. We compare the reconstruction quality of using Entropy asa regularizer to Tikhonov- and Total Variation (TV) regularization and theanalytic Filtered Backprojection approach, and also investigate the sensitivityof entropy regularization with respect to priors.

Resumen

The purpose of this grounded theory study is to identify teacher factors that affect student performance on computerized exams such as teacher beliefs, professional development, and school resources. Additionally, the researcher seeks to identify student factors that can have an impact on student performance such as student demographics and the socioeconomic status of students.

To analyze and describe any differences in teacher beliefs between two schools, the researcher compared teacher training, administrative support, and teacher comfort with technology as it related to the technology acceptance model (TAM). The question that the researcher hopes to answer, which is a guiding question for this research is:

What factors influence student preparedness for computerized assessments?

The researcher attempts to answer this question by conducting surveys and interviewing teachers. The researcher codes and then analyzes the quantitative data using IBM’s Statistical Package for Research Software Program (SPSS) and codes the qualitative data using NVivo, a data analysis tool, to determine common themes about beliefs about technology. Major sections covered in this document include an introduction, review of the literature, methodology, results, and discussion.

Resumen

Developing a time- and cost-efficient method for second language (L2) oral proficiency measurement is one of the research topics that has attracted much attention in recent decades. The purpose of this study is to develop a computerized oral testing system for L2 Japanese using automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology. Two testing methods called elicited imitation (EI) and simulated speech (SS) are proposed to quantify L2 accuracy and fluency via ASR processing. This study also suggests systematic EI item creation leveraging corpus technology and discusses the effectiveness of the test items created through analyses of item difficulty. Further, refinement of the EI grading system is described through a series of statistical investigations. For SS, this study reports the five most influential L2 fluency features identified through machine learning and proposes a method to yield individual SS scores with these features based on previous studies. Lastly, several methods to combine the EI and SS scores are presented to estimate L2 oral proficiency of Japanese.

Resumen

Small business owners who fail to adopt modern technology risk placing themselves at a competitive disadvantage. Drawing on Davis's technology acceptance model, the purpose of this study was to examine how small business owners in Central Ohio come to accept and use computerized accounting systems (CAS). The research question addressed the correlation between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and the intent to adopt CAS using multiple linear regression. Data were collected using a survey mailed to 347 small business owners which yielded a sample size of 71 respondents. Results showed a positive correlation between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and the intent to adopt CAS; therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. The model predicted about 71% of the variations in intent to adopt CAS. Using the portion of the sample where small business owners had not yet adopted CAS (n = 34), the model was able to predict about 63% of the variation, and in the portion where small business owners had already adopted CAS (n = 37), the model was able to predict about 70% of the variation. However, when splitting the sample between small businesses whose owners had already adopted CAS and those who had not yet adopted CAS, importance of ease of use and usefulness changed. Usefulness is more important to nonadopters and ease of use is more important for continued use. The implication for social change is the potential to reduce business failures. The study showed that 83% of small businesses over 5 years old currently use a CAS and only 56% under 5 years old use a CAS. Society could benefit from an increase in the number of successful small businesses, which would then contribute to economic expansion.

Resumen

Our research posits a context-sensitive, adaptable, assistive services and technology system (CAAST) that takes advantage of the advancements in mobile computing to provide barrier-free access to environmental information and devices. To inform our research we explore the following topics: the deficiencies associated with current assistive technologies; the advances in wireless sensor node technology; the interference and accuracy problems associated with wireless location detection; the coordination problems associated with service discovery; the management and coordination problems associated with decentralized sensor nodes; the separation of information and activities from the human interface; the efficiency and abstraction problems associated with interface description languages; and the adaptation of information and activities to meet the needs of those with disabilities. As a result of our research into these areas we devise an assistive technology, CAAST, that intends to be a comprehensive approach to universal access to information and activities for those with disabilities.

Resumen

L’objet de ce travail est de décrire et de comprendre l’organisation de la collaboration entre enseignants à des fins de professionnalisation en contexte sénégalais. L’étude des prescriptions et des pratiques réelles permet de repérer plusieurs tendances. La perte de sens peut se traduire par les différentes visées évolutives des enseignants qui modifient l’organisation et le choix des thématiques abordées dans les échanges. La discontinuité entre le prescrit et le réel peut expliquer le manque de diversité des thématiques et l’absentéisme de certains enseignants. Des tensions et des contradictions sont observées à propos de l’engagement des acteurs et l’utilisation des outils informatiques et didactiques. Les initiatives personnelles d’enseignants montrent une volonté de continuer à collaborer à travers les cellules d’animation pédagogique zonales. Les discours institutionnels mettent en avant les réussites liées à l’intégration des outils informatiques dans le dispositif, en particulier en Casamance, alors que les postures d’acteurs en pratique, diffèrent selon les cas. Ils s’ajustent en fonction de la dynamique collective et individuelle du système, dans une approche descendante, ascendante ou itérative. Ainsi, la collaboration entre enseignants dans un cadre de travail est présentée comme une des voies de professionnalisation possibles
The aim of this work is to describe and understand the organisation of collaboration between teachers for the purposes of professionalisation in the Senegalese context. A study of prescriptions and actual practices reveals several trends. The loss of meaning may be reflected in the different evolving aims of the teachers, who modify the organisation and choice of themes addressed in the exchanges. The discontinuity between the prescribed and the actual may explain the lack of diversity of themes and the absenteeism of some teachers. Tensions and contradictions were observed with regard to the commitment of the actors and the use of IT and didactic tools. Teachers' personal initiatives show a desire to continue to collaborate through the zonal pedagogical coordination units. The institutional discourse highlights the successes of integrating IT tools into the system, particularly in Casamance, while the attitudes of the players in practice differ from case to case. They adjust according to the collective and individual dynamics of the system, in a top-down, bottom-up or iterative approach. Thus, collaboration between teachers within a working framework is presented as one of the possible avenues for professionalisation

Resumen

Endring kan være utfordrende - introduksjon av endringer og implementering av computerteknologi i helsevesenet Utvikling og introduksjon av ny teknologi i samfunnet og i helsevesenet spesielt er krevende og åpner både for nye muligheter og utfordringer. På tross av at mye ressurser brukes i forhold til innføring av ny teknologi er det lite fokus på menneskers forhold til teknologi og computere spesielt. Helsevesenet opplever et økende krav om effektivisering og kvalitetsutvikling. Innføring av teknologi forventes å kunne bidra til dette. De forskjellige profesjonene som arbeider i helsevesenet kan ha ulike tradisjoner og kulturer som påvirker måten de tar i bruk ny teknologi. Team bestående av forskjellige profesjoner er generelt sett på som en måte å oppnå både effektivitet, kvalitetsforbedring og endring. I helsevesenet palliativ omsorg kan pasientenes spesielle tilstand og situasjon gjøre at de er ekstra sårbare for endringer i rutiner og implementering av ny teknologi. Hovedmålsetningen med prosjektet var å fremskaffe ny kunnskap om hvordan helsepersonell kan ta i bruk computerteknologi og hvordan holdninger, kultur og bruk av tverrfaglig team kan influere på helsepersonells evne og mulighet til å gjennomføre endringsprosesser som innebærer implementering av computerteknologi. For å studere hvordan helsepersonell ved en pallativ avdeling. Respondentene deltok i et dybdeintervje med to forskjellige mål. Det ene var a belyse forhold ved opplevelsen av en implementeringsprosess ved en palliativ avdeling og det andre var å finne ut hvilke faftorer som kan virke fremmende i en implementeringsprosess. Mangel på deltagelse i beslutningsprosesser og forståelse av nytteverdien ved bruk av computere var noen av opplevelsene respondentene rapporterte. Flere uttrykte også at palliative avdelingers målsetting og pasientenes totale situasjon gjorde brukes av slik teknologi vanskelig og at det var uforenelig med deres målsetting og tanker om god omsorg. I forhold til spørsmålet om faktorer som virker fremmede mente respondentene at et aktit og motiverende lederskap og nøkkelpersoner som var til stede på avdelingen kunne være avgjørdende for en vellykket implementering. For å undersøke kulturelle forskjeller blant to profesjoner i helsevesenet, sykepleiere og leger, ble det gjennomført en studie ved 6 sykehus i Norge. Det ble identifisert forskjeller mellom de to profesjonene som kan være av betydning for dannelsen av tverrfaglig team. Forskjellene som ble identifisert var imidlertid av mer strukturell karakter enn kulturell, og dannelse av velfungerende tverrfaglig team kan derfor bli en realitet fordi strukturelle forskjeller er lettere å endre enn kulturelle. Avhandlingen viser at utfordringene som finnes i helsevesenet knyttet til implementeringen av computerteknologi er i forhold til de barrierene som er identifisert i studien og de faktorene som kan virke fremmede på implementering av computerteknologi. Strukturelle barrierer mellom profesjoner i helsevesenet kan virke hemmede på dannelsen av velfungerende tverrfaglig team og dette kan igjen virke inn på gjennomføringen av noen endringsprosesser i helsevesenet.

Resumen

Computer Adaptive Tests (CATs) have been used successfully with standardized tests. However, CATs are rarely practical for assessment in instructional contexts, because large numbers of examinees are required a priori to calibrate items using item response theory (IRT). Computerized Classification Tests (CCTs) provide a practical alternative to IRT-based CATs. CCTs show promise for instructional contexts, since many fewer examinees are required for item parameter estimation. However, there is a paucity of clear guidelines indicating when items are sufficiently calibrated in CCTs.

Is there an efficient and accurate CCT algorithm which can estimate item parameters adaptively? Automatic Racing Calibration Heuristics (ARCH) was invented as a new CCT method and was empirically evaluated in two studies.

Monte Carlo simulations were run on previous administrations of a computer literacy test, consisting of 85 items answered by 104 examinees. Simulations resulted in determination of thresholds needed by the ARCH method for parameter estimates. These thresholds were subsequently used in 50 sets of computer simulations in order to compare accuracy and efficiency of ARCH with the sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) and with an enhanced method called EXSPRT. In the second study, 5,729 examinees took an online plagiarism test, where ARCH was implemented in parallel with SPRT and EXSPRT for comparison.

Results indicated that new statistics were needed by ARCH to establish thresholds and to determine when ARCH could begin. The ARCH method resulted in test lengths significantly shorter than SPRT, and slightly longer than EXSPRT without sacrificing accuracy of classification of examinees as masters and nonmasters.

This research was the first of its kind in evaluating the ARCH method. ARCH appears to be a viable CCT method, which could be particularly useful in massively open online courses (MOOCs). Additional studies with different test content and contexts are needed.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 95-104).
Automated computer technologies utilizing e-mail or SMS text messaging reminders can help overcome adherence barriers to optimal glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Text messaging on cellular phones, in particular, has become a popular communications tool among adolescents and young adults. We have created an automated computer system that provides reminders to check blood sugars by e-mail or text messaging on a cellular phone. The reminder schedule is set on a password-protected web site by the user according to his or her preferences. Users can respond to the reminders with their blood sugars, which are time and date stamped and then stored in a database. Text parsing rules allow users to override the time and date and to attach a comment as well. The blood sugar log can later be viewed and edited on the web site. Positive feedback is provided for every blood sugar entered and users also have the option to have both general and diabetes facts sent to them daily at random times via e-mail or text messaging. A randomized, controlled trial comparing e-mail with text messaging is underway at the time of this writing to test the feasibility and utility of this system in patients with diabetes. Preliminary results from 10 users (mean age 18.9 [plus-minus] 2.0 years) indicate that the system appeals to a subset of the study population. Two of the ten subjects have been using the system consistently, each submitting an average of 1.3 and 2.7 blood sugars per day, respectively. Only 4 of the 51 blood sugars submitted have been via the website, suggesting that submission via e-mail or cell phone is more appealing. Final results will not be obtained until all patients have been enrolled and have completed their three month trial period.

Resumen

Medication errors increased 64.4% from 2015 to 2018 in the United States due to the use of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems and the inability to exchange information among health care facilities. Healthcare information exchange (HIE) and subsequent discrepancies resulted in significant medical errors due to the lack of exchangeable health care information using technology software. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the strategies health care business managers used to manage computerized physician order entry systems within health care facilities to reduce medication errors and increase profitability. The population of the study was 8 clinical business managers in 2 successful small health care clinics located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Data were collected from semistructured interviews with health care leaders and documents from the health care organization as a resource. Inductive analysis was guided by the Donabedian theory and sociotechnical system theory, and trustworthiness of interpretations was confirmed through member checking. Three themes emerged: standardizing data formats reduced medication errors and increased profits, adopting user-friendly HIE reduced medication errors and increase profits, and efficient communication reduced medication errors and increased profits. The findings of this study contribute to positive change through improved health care delivery to patients resulting in healthier communities.

Resumen

This applied dissertation was designed to describe the effects of using a computerized reading and vocabulary development program with struggling third-grade students in a low socio-economic school setting. Vocabulary knowledge is paramount to developing and understanding unknown or unfamiliar words. Many students struggle with comprehension due to their limited exposure of vocabulary words. Students who have a limited vocabulary are often poor readers and continue to be a part of the academic achievement gap. This achievement gap appears to continue throughout the student’s time in school. In an effort to lessen this achievement gap, the educational system is now incorporating computerized instructions as a means to increase student’s academic achievement. Several benefits of incorporating computerize instructions into the school’s daily curriculum can be seen in both reading comprehension and literacy skills. Computer assisted instructions or CAI are designed to fit the specific needs of students and to provide differentiated activities that will further supplement the instructions in the classrooms. Computers are being used to present activities that are more interesting thereby motivating the students to become active learners who are also actively engaged in the learning process. The computers and the computer programs that are being implemented into the school systems are beginning to become an integral part in the daily curriculum of the schools. Using technology is just another way to provide students with opportunities to improve in the areas of vocabulary, reading, writing and their listening skills.

Resumen

Schools of nursing around the United States take multiple measures to prepare nursing students for safe practice in today’s complex healthcare system. One area in which schools of nursing continue to struggle is the first-attempt pass rates of NCLEX-RN. Despite various ways of preparing nursing student graduates, the NCLEX-RN first-attempt pass rates for United States’ nursng schools remain sub-optimal. Because many of the efforts to increase first-attempt NCLEX-RN pass rates have been inadequate and new ways of preparing nursing students remain underexplored, the purpose of this study was to explore a computerized adaptive testing program, PassPoint, and identify any predictors for NCLEX-RN success on first attempt. The purpose was also to compare and analyze the computerized adaptive testing program, PassPoint, to a traditional preparatory testing method, Kaplan, in relation to NCLEX-RN first-attempt success in an associate degree nursing program in the midwestern United States. After employing a retrospective correlation design, a number of statistically significant relationships were noted.

Resumen

The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been widely used to assess technology adoption in business, education, and health care. The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) launched a web-based Individualized Educational Program (IEP) system for school psychologists to use in conducting evaluations and reviews. This quantitative study examined the relationship between school psychologists' TAM factors associated with the web-based IEP system's perceived usability and usefulness measured by a TAM Instrument with individual job performance assessed by the Job Performance Ratings Measure. A random sample of 69 NYCDOE school psychologists participated in this study, and a regression analysis addressed the research questions. The results showed no positive effects of perceived ease of use in job performance. In addition, there were no positive effects of perceived usefulness in job performance. The results of this study might benefit administrators and districts to see the need to explore additional resources. As ease of use and usefulness are vital to technology acceptance, providing resources to school psychologists are key to the overall success of the IEP process. Future research should take a qualitative approach to illuminate why and how school psychologists accept technology, especially when it involves the IEP process.

Resumen

Esta pesquisa investiga a estação de trabalho informatizada incorporada ao ambiente residencial. A tecnologia dos equipamentos de informática substituiu a importância dada à escrivaninha. O espaço de trabalho da antiga escrivaninha, que atendia à administração da casa, passou a competir com o espaço de trabalho do computador, somando a este, periféricos e materiais de escritório necessários à escrita, leitura e manuseio de materiais. Com as facilidades de crédito e acesso aos meios de comunicação e informação, disseminou-se o uso do computador. Por meio de pesquisa de mercado identificaram-se três segmentos distintos para a aquisição das estações de trabalho que acomodam o computador em residências: móveis para ambiente corporativo, com sistemas integrados para suprir as necessidades de trabalho; móveis compactos direcionados a residências que não oferecem complementos para ampliação da área de trabalho; e móveis sob medida como opção para home offices, e estações de trabalho integradas a dormitórios. Foi realizada uma pesquisa em mídia impressa e virtual para conhecer condições de oferta e aquisição deste móvel. Considerando a ausência de estações de trabalho informatizadas residenciais no mercado, pesquisaram-se instalações residenciais por meio de fotos de uma amostra de usuários que utilizam o computador em casa para comunicação, estudo, leitura, pesquisa, transações bancárias, administração da casa, compras, etc. O conjunto de dados congregados na pesquisa propiciou a formulação de um projeto-conceito, no qual são indicados os critérios qualitativos necessários ao design de estação de trabalho informatizada com identidade residencial.
This study investigates the computerized workstation incorporated to the residential place. The technology of equipment of informatics replaced the importance given to the writing-desk. The place taken by the old writing desk -- which attended the house administration -- started to compete with the computer work place besides its peripheral pieces and office materials needed for writing, reading as well as its handling. The computer use has spread due to the easy credit and access to the communication and information means. Through a marketing survey, three l different segments were identified for acquisition of the workstations that lodge the computer in residences: furniture for corporative place with integrated systems to supply the work needs; compact furniture\'s for residences that do not have rooms to enlarging the work area; furniture under measure as an option for home offices and workstations integrated to bedrooms. A survey was done on the printed and virtual media to know the offering and acquisition conditions of this furniture. Considering the lack, in the market, of computerized residential workstations, surveys about residential installations were made through photos of a sample of users that use computers at home for communication, study, reading, research, bank transactions, house administration, shopping, etc. The data set, assembled in the survey, provided the formulation of design-concept that indicates the qualitative criteria needed to the design of computerized workstation with residential characteristics.

Resumen

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Diagnostic Radiography, Department of Nursing and Radiography in the Faculty of Health Wellness Sciences at Cape Peninsula University of Technology 2014
Aim: The aim of this study was to record the values of CTDIw and DLP displayed on the Computed Tomography (CT) scanner monitors of patients undergoing CT examinations of the head as Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRL) for dose optimisation in Northern Nigeria. Background: A brain CT scan is the most common CT examination performed, and this modality is recognized as delivering a high dose. CT, therefore, contributes significantly to the total collective effective dose to the population. Elimination of unnecessary or unproductive radiation exposure is necessary. To achieve this, practitioners must adhere to the principles of the justification of practices, and optimisation of radiation protection. Furthermore, the development of DRLs for the local context is advised. These reference doses are a guide to the expected exposure dose from a procedure and are useful as an investigation tool to identify incidences where patient doses are unusually high. Methodology: The study was conducted in three radiology departments with CT centres in Northern Nigeria. Data was collected, using a purposive sampling technique, from 60 consenting adult participants (weighing 70 ±3 kg) that had brain CT scans on seventh generations 4&16-slice GE and 16-slice Philips CT scanners. Prior to commencement of the study the CT scanners were certified by the medical physicists. For each brain scan, patient information, exposure factors, weighted computed tomography dose index (CTDIw), volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) values were recorded. The data were analysed using SPSS version (16) statistical software. The mean, standard deviation and third quartile values of the CTDIw and DLP were calculated. An inter-comparison of the measured doses from the three research sites was conducted. A combined dose for the three centres was calculated, and compared with the reported data from the international communities where there are established DRLs. Results: The mean CTDIw and DLP values were: centre A (88 mGy and 713 mGy.cm), centre B (68 mGy and 1098 mGy.cm), and centre C (70 mGy and 59 mGy.cm). Comparison of CTDIw and DLP for the scanners of the same manufacturers showed statistically significant differences (p=0.003) and (p=0.03) respectively. In the case of the scanners of a different model but the same number of slices, the comparison of DLP was statistically significant (p=0.005) while no significant difference was noted in the measured CTDIw. Third quartile values of the cumulative doses of CTDIw and DLP, for Northern Nigeria were determined as 77 mGy and 985 mGy.cm respectively. Conclusion: The study has established Local DRLs (LDRLs) which are significantly higher than most of the reported data in the literature. Also dose variation between centres was noted. Optimization is thus recommended. Keywords: Head Imaging, Radiation Dose, Dose optimization, Computed Tomography, Local Diagnostic Reference Levels, Radiation Protection

Resumen

La tesis se encarga de analizar, por un lado, la integración y el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías en la Administración de Justicia; y, por otro, los parámetros que constituyen la validez y eficacia del documento electrónico.
La primera cuestión se centra en la configuración de los Sistemas de Información de la Oficina Judicial y del Ministerio Fiscal, así como de la informatización de los Registros Civiles, donde el art. 230 LOPJ es la pieza clave. Se estudian sus programas, aplicaciones, la videoconferencia, los ficheros judiciales y las redes de telecomunicaciones que poseen la cobertura de la firma electrónica reconocida, donde cobran gran relevancia los convenios de colaboración tecnológica. La digitalización de las vistas quizá sea una de las cuestiones con más trascendencia, teniendo en cuenta que el juicio es el acto que culmina el proceso. Aunque no todos los proyectos adoptados en el ámbito de la e.justicia se han desarrollado de forma integral, ni han llegado a la totalidad de los órganos judiciales. El objetivo final es lograr una Justicia más ágil y de calidad, a lo cual aspira el Plan Estratégico de Modernización de la Justicia 2009-2012 aprobado recientemente.
En referencia a la segunda perspectiva, no cabe duda que el Ordenamiento jurídico y los tribunales, en el ámbito de la justicia material, otorgan plena validez y eficacia al documento electrónico. Nuestra línea de investigación se justifica porque cada vez son más los procesos que incorporan soportes electrónicos de todo tipo, ya sea al plantearse la acción o posteriormente como medio de prueba (art. 299.2 LEC). Entre otros temas examinamos el documento informático, la problemática que rodea al fax, los sistemas de videograbación y el contrato electrónico.
La tesi s'encarrega d'analitzar, per una part, la integració i el desenvolupament de les noves tecnologies dins l´Administració de Justícia; i, per l'altra, els paràmetres que constitueixen la validesa i l'eficàcia del document electrònic.
La primera qüestió es centra en la configuració dels Sistemes d´Informació de l´Oficina Judicial i del Ministeri Fiscal, així com de la informatització dels Registres Civils, on l'art. 230 LOPJ es la peça clau. S'estudien els seus programes, aplicacions, la videoconferència, el fitxers judicials i les xarxes de telecomunicacions que tenen la cobertura de la firma electrònica reconeguda, on cobren gran rellevància els convenis de col·laboració tecnològica. La digitalització de les vistes tal vegada sigui una de les qüestions amb més transcendència, tenint amb compte que el judici es l'acte que culmina el procés. Però no tots el projectes adoptats en l'àmbit de la e.justicia s'han desenvolupat d'una manera integral ni han arribat a la totalitat dels òrgans judicials. L'objectiu final es assolir una Justícia més àgil i de qualitat, al que aspira el Pla Estratègic de Modernització de la Justícia 2009-2012 aprovat recentment.
En referència a la segona perspectiva, no hi ha dubte que l´Ordenament jurídic i els tribunals, en l'àmbit de la justícia material, donen plena validesa i eficàcia al document electrònic. La nostra línia d'investigació es justifica perquè cada vegada son més el processos que incorporen suports electrònics de tot tipus, ja sigui quant es planteja l'acció o posteriorment como a medi de prova (art. 299.2 LEC). Entre altres temes examinem el document informàtic, la problemàtica que envolta al fax, els sistemes de videogravació i el contracte electrònic.
The thesis seeks to analyse, on the one hand, the integration and development of the new technologies in the Administration of Justice; and, on the other, the parameters which constitute the validity and efficiency of the electronic document.
The first question centres on the configuration of the Information Systems of the Judicial Office and the Public Prosecutor, as well as the computerisation of the Civil Registers, where the art. 230 LOPJ it's the part key. Their programmes, applications, the Video Conferencing, the judicial registers and the telecommunication networks which are covered by the recognised electronic signatures, are studied, where the agreements on technological collaboration gain great relevance. The digitalisation of evidence might perhaps be one of the questions with most consequence, bearing in mind that the judgment is the act by which the process is culminated. Although not all the projects adopted within the compass of e.justice have developed completely nor have reached all the judicial organs. The final objective is to achieve an agile, quality Justice, to which the recently approved Strategic Plan for the Modernisation of Justice aspires.
With reference to the second perspective, there is no doubt that the juridical Ordinance and the tribunals within the compass of material justice grant full validity and efficacy to the electronic document. Our line of investigation is justified because there are more and more processes which are sustained by electronic supports of all kinds, whether it be at the establishment of the action or later, as a proof of it (art. 299.2 LEC). Amongst other things, we examine the computerised document, the problems which surround the fax, the systems for video recording and the electronic contract.

Resumen

Threats to computerised information systems are always on the rise and compel organisations to invest a lot of money and time amongst other technical controls in an attempt to protect their critical information from inherent security risks. The computerisation of information systems in secondary schools has effectively exposed these organisations to a host of complex information security challenges that they have to deal with in addition to their core business of teaching and learning. Secondary schools handle large volumes of sensitive information pertaining to educators, learners, creditors and financial records that they are obliged to secure. Computerised information systems are vulnerable to both internal and external threats but ease of access sometimes manifest in security breaches, thereby undermining information security. Unfortunately, school managers and users of computerised information systems are ignorant of the risks to their information systems assets and the consequences of the compromises that might occur thereof. One way of educating school managers and users about the risks to their computerised information systems is through a risk management programme in which they actively participate. However, secondary schools do not have the full capacity to perform information security risk management exercises due to the unavailability of risk management experts and scarce financial resources to fund such programmes. This qualitative case study was conducted in two secondary schools that use computerised information systems to support everyday administrative operations. The main objective of this research study was to assist secondary schools that used computerised information systems to develop a set of guidelines they would use to effectively manage information security risks in their computerised information systems. This study educated school managers and computerised information systems users on how to conduct simple risk management exercises. The Operationally Critical Threats, Assets and Vulnerability Evaluation for small-scale organisations risk management method was used to evaluate the computerised information systems in the two schools and attain the goals of the research study. Data for this study were generated through participatory observation, physical inspections and interview techniques. Data were presented, analysed and interpreted qualitatively. This study found that learners‟ continuous assessment marks, financial information, educators‟ personal information, custom application software, server-computers and telecommunication equipment used for networking were the critical assets. The main threats to these critical assets were authorised and unauthorised systems users, malware, system crashes, access paths and incompatibilities in software. The risks posed by these threats were normally led to the unavailability of critical information systems assets, compromise of data integrity and confidentiality. This also led to the loss of productivity and finance, and damage to school reputation. The only form of protection mechanism enforced by secondary schools was physical security. To mitigate the pending risks, the study educated school managers and users in selecting, devising and implementing simple protection and mitigation strategies commensurate with their information systems, financial capabilities and their level of skills. This study also recommended that secondary schools remove all critical computers from open-flow school networks, encrypt all critical information, password-protect all computers holding critical information and train all users of information systems of personal security. The study will be instrumental in educating school managers and computerised information systems users in information security awareness and risk management in general.

In this study, serval sensor components and a single micro-process chip are integrated into a digital device, which is operated in a five-axis computerized numerical control (CNC) machine to detect whether the machine moved again after positioning. The measurement information such as the attitude parameters of the pitch angle, the roll angle and the height of the machine are used to determine if a moving transfer event has occurred. The program process of positioning parameter measurements and location-memorization parameters comparison and moving transfer warning setting are completed within five minutes after power-on. If the measured values of the machine position are different from the location-memorization parameters and exceeds the allowable range, the moving transfer warning is set. They are measured and compared with the location-memorization parameters again and again, and the moving transfer warning is set or cleared every time after the measurement is performed. This program process will be proceeded in five minutes after power on. If the moving transfer warning is set by this program process finally, the machine is locked and does not work properly. After testing and verifying the above process, it did play the role of moving transfer detection, but there is still a disadvantage which will become the need for improvement in the future.

The purpose of this study is to establish a Network-based test system applying computerized adaptive test to elementary school science and technology instruction. In order to implement this online-test study, Item Response Theory and Pyramidal Test Theory are employed as basis to help the implementation of this system. Free software Xoops is chosen for the system platform. Its module was modified to have the function of an adaptive test system. Into the Internet, users may use Internet Explorer and other web browsers to log into the test system. The test results may be available for the teachers and users as well for evaluation use. With the growth of the Internet, online tests can not only help teachers to evaluate the results of their teaching but also help students evaluate themselves remotely. It is a good way to check the e-learning effects.

Technological literacy and technological creativity are two keys to preparing elementary students for everyday life. This study developed Computerized MST Interdisciplinary Curricula(C-MST) while developing the technological literacy and creativity of pupils with C-MST. The main difference between C-MST and MST lies in computerized mindtools that are designed to assist students in learning with technology as well as for constructing anchored knowledge and systematic problem-solving strategies. C-MST is based on the literacy indicators of mathematics, science and technology, combines the activities of “designing and doing” in technological education, and inspires students to transfer mathematical and scientific concepts to creative designs and pragmatic performances. This study adopted a quasi-experimental approach to assess the effects of C-MST on the performances of sixth-graders in terms of technological literacy and creativity. Seventy-two sixth-graders from five schools were divided between two groups, the “C-MST system-supported group” and the “self-learning group”. The experiment proceeded for ten weeks, with two main themes being carried out in 28 classes. The final effective sample comprised 48 students. With the “self-learning group” primarily focused on project-based learning, it was hoped that students would avail themselves of technological tools and internet resources to implement problem-solving strategies. On the other hand, the “C-MST group”, was provided with computerized anchored courses and systematic mindtools to assist the students in their critical and creative thinking. The study yielded the following results. First, integration among elementary mathematics, science and technology courses can establish systematic support and connections between regular and project-based learning. Second, C-MST significantly enhances the technological literacy and creativity of elementary students. Third, by integrating the program design, literacy cultivation and assessment indicators, C-MST sees students in the C-MST system-supported group outperform those in the self-learning group in terms of technological literacy and technological creativity. Fourth, a significant correlation exists between student technological literacy and technological creativity. As a result, through literacy assessments and feedback gathered during the learning process, students are expected to exhibit improved technological creativity. Finally, a significant correlation exists between student technological application attitude and their technological literacy. This correlation demonstrates learning with technology should emphasize emotional factors. This study thus made three suggestions. First, besides performances in technological literacy and creativity, C-MST should also pay attention to the positive development of student emotional propensity. Second, it is necessary to analyze different literacy developments among different students to enable the establishment of a more flexible C-MST Interdisciplinary Curricula scaffolding system. Finally, to proceed with elementary Science and Technology courses, it was recommended that technological literacy should be adopted as an indicator when coordinating interdisciplinary curricula programs. Such programs should combine technological tools and provide to enable a long-term assessment of technological interdisciplinary learning and its effects. This solid base of mathematical and scientific learning would distinguish the course features of Science and Technology, and enhance the development of the technological literacy and creativity of students.
