Drawing the lines—By the numbers: The statistical foundations of the electoral process     

Penelope E. Harvison  Robert C. Speaker  Marshall L. Turner Jr. 《Government Information Quarterly》1985,2(4):389-405

The Constitution establishes that the apportionment of the U.S. House of Representatives shall be based upon an enumeration of the population. Every 10 years, the Bureau of the Census conducts that enumeration, and using the Method of Equal Proportions designated by the Congress, furnishes to the President the number of Representatives to which each state is entitled. “Rules of residence” have been developed to determine who should be counted and where persons should be counted in the census.Following the 1970 census, because of the Supreme Court's decisions requiring population equality in districts used for electoral purposes, census data became vital to the redistricting processes carried out by the individual states. The Congress enacted Public Law 94–171 which authorized the Bureau of the Census to make special preparations for the provision of redistricting data needed by the 50 states. The 1980 program established by the Census Bureau enabled state redistricting to be accomplished far more smoothly than in the 1970s. The Census Bureau is already working with the states on its 1990 program, an essential element of which is based upon its plan to provide block data for the entire country.  相似文献   

Quality and the large field experience program     

Dr. Marshall W. Davies 《Innovative Higher Education》1979,4(2):149-156

This paper argues that although new problems are encountered as field experience programs grow larger, the basic principles of assuring educational quality remain the same. One large field experience program, the Washington Center for Learning Alternatives, and the method of educational quality control developed by that program are described.  相似文献   

Benchmarking reference services: an introduction     

Marshall JG  Buchanan HS 《Medical reference services quarterly》1995,14(3):59-73

Benchmarking is based on the common sense idea that someone else, either inside or outside of libraries, has found a better way of doing certain things and that your own library's performance can be improved by finding out how others do things and adopting the best practices you find. Benchmarking is one of the tools used for achieving continuous improvement in Total Quality Management (TQM) programs. Although benchmarking can be done on an informal basis, TQM puts considerable emphasis on formal data collection and performance measurement. Used to its full potential, benchmarking can provide a common measuring stick to evaluate process performance. This article introduces the general concept of benchmarking, linking it whenever possible to reference services in health sciences libraries. Data collection instruments that have potential application in benchmarking studies are discussed and the need to develop common measurement tools to facilitate benchmarking is emphasized.  相似文献

Evaluation of two interventions to reduce aggressive and antisocial behavior in first and second graders in a resource-poor setting     

Joanne Klevens  José William Martínez  Brenda Le  Carlos Rojas  Adriana Duque  Rafael Tovar 《International Journal of Educational Research》2009,48(5):307-319

We conducted a three-arm cluster randomized controlled trial (n = 2491) to evaluate a teacher delivered intervention to reduce aggressive and antisocial behavior and increase prosocial behavior in the classroom. A second aim of this trial was to establish whether combining this intervention with an intervention for parents was better than the teacher-only intervention. This evaluation was conducted in a resource-poor setting (Pereira, Colombia). The findings show that both interventions prevented increases in aggressive and antisocial behavior. However, the teacher-only intervention also had a positive impact on increasing prosocial behavior.  相似文献
