Evaluating Evaluation in the European Commission
Authors: Levy Roger P.
Published: April 2023

Abstract: There is an increasing demand for the evaluation of expenditure and regulatory measures undertaken by the European Union in order to improve accountability and achieve “value for money” objectives. At the most general level, the task of organizing evaluation systems for these programs falls to the European Commission. Historically, the commission has focused on developing policies rather than monitoring or delivering them. With the maturing of certain policy areas, the commission’s role is shifting in the direction of review and evaluation. From a systemic point of view, the management of EU policy presents particularly severe challenges in the area of evaluation. There are multiple actors located at local, national, and supranational levels; divergent administrative cultures and practices; variable quality of information, records, and capabilities; an attenuated system of reporting; and unclear lines of accountability. Joint funding of some programs creates additional problems by entangling program impacts and the audit purposes and management of national and EU institutions, respectively. The commission has still to come to a view on the parameters defining commonality and diversity in evaluation. In order to improve the situation, the commission has taken a number of initiatives, among them the setting up of an expert working group on the evaluation process. This article reports, in general terms, the findings of that group for 1994–95.
A Historical Perspective on Federal Program Evaluation in Canada
Authors: Müller-Clemm Werner J. , Barnes Maria Paulette
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Federal program evaluation has been a central force in defining the history of evaluation activities in Canada. This article reviews the key policy issues that underlie federal program evaluation by analyzing the historical context within which the federal evaluation function evolved. Because federal evaluation has been linked to a perceived need for accountability, and because evaluation has been expected to play an important role in the policy making, planning, and budgeting of the government (McQueen, 1992), a key issue in the history of program evaluation in Canada is outcome promise versus performance. The authors identify and discuss factors that shaped the practice of federal program evaluation, such as federal policy issues, political actors, organizational structures, and political and governmental changes, in order to generate a more complete understanding of the current state of program evaluation and its future within the federal government.
Developing First Nations Child Welfare Standards: Using Evaluation Research within a Participatory Framework
Authors: McKenzie Brad
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Program evaluation in aboriginal communities requires a participatory approach that recognizes the importance of culture and promotes mutual learning. Despite the articulation of principles and models that support this approach, the implementation of evaluation studies often reflects a more conventional model stressing the role of the expert and a deductive approach to knowledge development. The evaluation research project summarized in this article was designed and implemented to develop culturally appropriate child and family service standards in First Nations communities using a community-based participatory research model. Process and outcome benefits were achieved by utilizing multiple focus group interviews in the first phase and adapting these strategies in a combined feedback and consultation phase following preliminary data analysis.
Participation et décision publique: de l’incantation à la mise en oeuvre d’une évaluation démocratique
Authors: Floc’hlay Béatrice , Plottu Eric
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Because citizens of modern democracies lack opportunities to participate in public decision-making, they often seize the opportunity to exert counterpower after a decision has been made. This mode of involvement results in frequent questioning and even blocking of public projects, which could be avoided if the counterpower and power were expressed simultaneously (i.e., via negotiation) during the decision-making process. By involving the public in decision-making, democratic evaluation theoretically allows the simultaneous exercise of power and counterpower. This article argues that democratic evaluation is only viable when empowerment evaluation, participatory evaluation, and multicriteria evaluation are incorporated as stages in the same evaluation process. The multicriteria method, in particular, seems to be a useful tool in negotiation and a preferred decision-making aid in democratic evaluation.
Focusing on Inputs, Outputs, and Outcomes: Are International Approaches to Performance Management Really so Different?
Authors: Montague Steve
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The focus of performance information appears, on the surface, to differ among Canadian, Australian, and US federal governments. While these countries emphasize different aspects of performance, their federal guidelines on performance measurement share important common ground — the logic model. A performance logic model helps clarify the linkages between inputs, activities, and process and outputs, short- and long-term outcomes, and impacts. The model assists both analysts and managers to articulate the cause-effect theory of a program or service and should answer the fundamental questions about WHY an initiative exists, WHAT the expected outcomes are, WHO the program or service will reach and HOW it will be delivered. There is a tendency for organizations to focus on measurement before first describing the logic of their enterprise. International practice suggests that Canadian, Australian, and US approaches all promote the understanding of program logic before measurement. Such an understanding will be key to the successful implementation of performance management initiatives in each of these countries.
Effects of a Neutral Answer Choice on the Reliability and Validity of Attitude and Opinion Items
Authors: Dassa Clément , Lambert Jean , Blais Régis , Potvin Diane , Gauthier Natalie
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine whether a middle alternative in the response choices to a questionnaire influences the reliability and validity of survey responses. A 32-item questionnaire regarding maternity care was administered to a sample of 1,390 persons consisting of 597 physicians, 723 nurses, and 70 midwives. The sample was randomly divided into two groups, one receiving a questionnaire with five answer choices, including a middle option, and the other receiving a similar questionnaire but without the middle option. Results showed that including a neutral option had little effect on overall reliability and validity; however, it did allow better psychometric coherence when the items were considered globally. The effect of the middle option also depends on the opinions the surveyed persons hold about the study issue.
Emancipatory Politics, Critical Evaluation and Government Policy
Authors: VanderPlaat Madine
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The aspirations of emancipatory or empowerment-based social interventions, such as those inscribed in Health Canada’s and the World Health Organization’s Ottawa Charter, require a significant reconstruction of traditional evaluation practices. The prevailing response to this need has been the inclusion of “empowering” research techniques in the evaluation activity. The author argues that empowering research techniques cannot, in and of themselves, effectively inform and support the political aspirations of emancipatory intervention; such aspirations instead demand a dramatic shift in the institutional role of evaluation research and the focus of the evaluative gaze. Drawing from elements of Habermas’s theory of communicative action, the author outlines the dimensions of a critical approach to evaluation that is more consistent with the principles underscoring emancipatory intervention. The Treasury Board’s guide to program evaluation is used as illustration, to demonstrate the implications of such an approach for conventional evaluation questions.
Using the Right Tools to Answer the Right Questions: The Importance of Evaluative Research Techniques for Health Services Evaluation Research in the 21st Century
Authors: Vingilis Evelyn , Pederson Linda
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The marked changes in health care expenditures in recent years have led to a call for greater accountability in the areas of health education, policy, services, and reform. In recent years, evaluative research has been conducted in health arenas under the rubric of health services research. The research methods employed have evolved not from evaluation research methodology, but from frameworks that often do not lend themselves to deriving appropriate causal inferences in multi-causal environments. Given the complexity of the interrelated political, social, psychological, and economic factors that can affect health services, more complex evaluative techniques are needed. This article describes the epistemology of evaluative research and, through a series of examples from the health services literature, demonstrates the strengths of theory-driven approaches and statistical multivariate techniques compared to traditional black-box methods, as ways to increase validity for causal inference.

Authors: Rojas Mendoza Karol Johanna , Yglesias Dimadi Ioanna Isabel , Hernández Chavarría Vivian Idannia
Published: April 2023

La siguiente revisión bibliográfica brinda un acercamiento general a la patología de dermatomiositis juvenil desde una visión dermatológica y reumatológica. La dermatomiositis juvenil (DMJ) es una enfermedad autoinmune sistémica caracterizada por miositis de músculos proximales junto con lesiones cutáneas características. Es una patología con aparición temprana en la infancia y predilección por el sexo femenino. Su aparición se ha relacionado con factores genéticos y ambientales específicos. A pesar de ser la piel y el tejido muscular los más afectados, también se puede presentar afectación pulmonar, cardiovascular y gastrointestinal. Actualmente, el diagnóstico se realiza por medio de la clínica, la resonancia magnética (RMN) y la búsqueda de autoanticuerpos específicos. La calcinosis representa una de las complicaciones más frecuentes y graves de la DMJ, con alta morbimortalidad. El tratamiento general de la DMJ se centra en el inicio temprano de corticoesteroides a altas dosis; así como la integración de fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad en casos más severos. El pronóstico actual de la enfermedad representa una disminución importante en la mortalidad desde el inicio de la era de los corticoesteroides.
Is nutritional literacy level in young adults associated with quality of life?
Authors: Erem Sinem , Bektaş Zeynep
Published: April 2023

This study was planned to examine the relationship between nutritional literacy level and quality of life in young adults. 234 students studying at Trakya University Faculty of Dentistry participated in the research. Study data were collected by online questionnaire between February and June 2022. 60.3% of the participants are women. The mean age, body weight, height and BMI of the individuals were 21.35 ±1.43 years, 64.76 ±15.8 kg, 169.86 ±8.50 cm, 21.22 ±3.63 kg/m2, respectively. 9.7% of the participants were underweight, 71.3% were normal weight, 19.7% were obese. While the average of the highest nutritional literacy score was found in thin individuals, the general nutritional knowledge score was found to be highest in normal weight individuals (p<0.05). Nutrition literacy level is sufficient in 82.5% of individuals. This rate was found to be 95.2% in the thin and 67.4% in the obese (p<0.05). Food label reading and numerical literacy scores were higher in men than in women (p<0.05). When the quality of life subscales were examined, the MCS-12 (Mental Component Summary) subscale scores were found to be higher in normal-weight subjects than in thin and obese subjects (p<0.05). As the students' nutritional literacy level increased, their PCS-12 (Physical Component Summary) and MCS-12 subscale scores increased (p<0.05). As the general nutrition knowledge subscale score increased, an increase was found in the MCS-12 subscale score in both women and men (p<0.05). Increasing the awareness of university students about nutritional literacy and providing the necessary training can be beneficial in increasing the quality of life.

Authors: Özgören Ezgi , Işık Fatma
Published: April 2023

In this study; some chemical, physical and sensory properties of tulumba desserts produced using ancient wheat varieties (dinkel, einkorn and kavılca) were compared with control tulumba desserts which traditionally produced with baklava flour. In the study, it was determined that the protein and mineral matter amounts of the samples produced with ancient wheat varieties were higher than the control sample. There was no significant difference between the samples in terms of oil absorption rate and specific volume. According to color analysis results, it was determined that the L*, a*, and b* values of the tulumba desserts produced with the flours of ancient wheat varieties were lower than the control sample. In the texture profile analysis, it wasdetermined that the hardness value of the control sample was similar to the tulumba dessert produced using einkorn wheat flour and significantly higher than the other samples. In addition, all samples' cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness values were similar. In sensory evaluation, besides the control sample getting the highest scores, the taste, odor, and texture characteristics of all the tulumba desserts produced with ancient wheat varieties were similar to the control sample. In addition, it was observed that the overall acceptability scores of all products were above 4.0 points, which was the midpoint of the hedonic scale.
An Analysis of Al-Djurjani’s Definition of Identity – huwiyya: The then and Now
Authors: Gokcekuyu Ertugrul
Published: April 2023

Purpose - This paper aims to answer in what ways such an early account of huwiyya may overlap or have similarities with some of the modern, yet ambiguous depictions of the term.

Design/methodology/approach - The research design is descriptive-qualitative research. The data gained are written words and sentences from al-Djurjani’s works.

Findings - Literature today acknowledges more progressive interpretations of identity, wherein the phrase has been used in ambiguous ways, categorizing the individual in existential, contextual, and perceptual terms attempting to understand the inner and outer workings of the Self. Most definitions of identity in social sciences assume the phrase to be a unit of analysis; a challenging task when the phrase is so heterogeneous. The point of departure in this article is Al-Djurdani’s two-layered live wire definition that connotes a binary reading. While the first layer of this - one of the earliest - Muslim philosophical definitions is existentialist, the second layer merits a reading that is modestly contextual.

Originality/value - The point of departure in this article is Al-Djurdani’s two-layered live wire definition that connotes a binary reading. While the first layer of this - one of the earliest - Muslim philosophical definitions is existentialist, the second layer merits a reading that is modestly contextual.

Attention-Based Data Analytic Models for Traffic Flow Predictions
Authors:   San Jose State University, Kumar Kaushal , Wei Yupeng ,   San Jose State University
Published: April 2023

Traffic congestion causes Americans to lose millions of hours and dollars each year. In fact, 1.9 billion gallons of fuel are wasted each year due to traffic congestion, and each hour stuck in traffic costs about $21 in wasted time and fuel. The traffic congestion can be caused by various factors, such as bottlenecks, traffic incidents, bad weather, work zones, poor traffic signal timing, and special events. One key step to addressing traffic congestion and identifying its root cause is an accurate prediction of traffic flow. Accurate traffic flow prediction is also important for the successful deployment of smart transportation systems. It can help road users make better travel decisions to avoid traffic congestion areas so that passenger and freight movements can be optimized to improve the mobility of people and goods. Moreover, it can also help reduce carbon emissions and the risks of traffic incidents. Although numerous methods have been developed for traffic flow predictions, current methods have limitations in utilizing the most relevant part of traffic flow data and considering the correlation among the collected high-dimensional features. To address this issue, this project developed attention-based methodologies for traffic flow predictions. We propose the use of an attention-based deep learning model that incorporates the attention mechanism with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks. This attention mechanism can calculate the importance level of traffic flow data and enable the model to consider the most relevant part of the data while making predictions, thus improving accuracy and reducing prediction duration.

Published: April 2023

This study was carried out to analyze the grammatical errror analysis which are made by the students in their speaking performance. It was based on the assumption that grammatical rule has a function in speaking to make the communication clearly and to convey the information in appropriate way. The study was conducted under qualitative methodology by using case study as the appropriate research design. The data source of this research is 1st grade student from the speaking class of English Education major that consisted of 24 students. For collecting the data, the researcher used observation fieldnote and also video record. The writer identified and analyzed data based on the types of error using Dulay’s theory. Based on the finding, the result of this research showed that students made a total errors 318 times divided into four types of errors: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. From the quantity of each error types, misformation was the highest errors produced by the students. It took 175 times of errors. And omission had 115 times of errors, moreover, 24 errors fell into error of addition, and the last one misordering was the lowest errors produced by the students the total was 5 errors. Actually, errors are necessary in learning a language, especially learning English language as the foreign language. Thus, error analysis also helps the students identify what the errors are made, because the students cannot apply their language acquisition directly without committing error firstly. They cannot achieve the target language perfectly when the errors appear. Error analysis is very advantageous for both learner and teacher. For learner, by paying more attention, the learners are expected to increase their knowledge on the English grammar. Whereas for teachers, hopefully the research can be useful information in teaching process and in the end, the teacher can be able to teach the material appropriately

New teaching methods have led to the changes in the teachers’ roles in an English class, in which teachers’ error correction is an integral part. Language error and corrective feedback have been the interest of many researchers in foreign language teaching. However, the techniques and the effectiveness of teachers’ feedback have been a question of much controversy. This present case study has been carried out with a view to finding out the patterns of teachers’ corrective feedback and their impact on students’ uptake in English speaking lessons of legal English major students at a Law University. In order to achieve those aims, the study makes use of classroom observations as the main method of data collection to seeks answers to the two following questions: 1. What patterns of corrective feedback occur in English speaking lessons for legal English major students in a Law University? 2. To what extent does that corrective feedback lead to students’ uptake? The study provided some important findings, among which was a close relationship between corrective feedback and uptake. In particular, recast was the most commonly used feedback type, yet it was the least effective in terms of students’ uptake and repair, while the most successful feedback, namely metalinguistic feedback, clarification requests and elicitation, which led to students’ generated repair, was used at a much lower rate by teachers. Furthermore, it revealed that different types of errors needed different types of feedback. Also, the use of feedback depended on the students’ English proficiency level. In the light of findings, a number of pedagogical implications have been drawn in the hope of enhancing the effectiveness of teachers’ corrective feedback to students’ uptake in foreign language acquisition process.
