Paving Consensus: Enacting, Challenging, and Revising the Consensus Process in a Cohousing Community   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mary Ann Renz 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2006,34(2):163-190

This study focused on a cohousing community's use of consensus to make a decision about surfacing a parking area. It revealed that the community's use of consensus decision making allowed the residents to balance three goals: making an appropriate decision, meeting members' needs, and maintaining the community's well-being. Reaching agreement, however, was complicated by members' value differences and discontinuity in their participation. The analysis of this case reveals three qualities characteristic of the enactment of consensus: the role of structured communication within and between group meetings, a tension between maintaining process openness and reaching decision closure, and the expectation that group members will work within the consensus process. The analysis also highlights the importance of timing in the interpretation of conflict in a consensus-oriented group and the role of process change when a group reaches the limits of members' commitment to consensus.  相似文献

Explaining match outcome in elite Australian Rules football using team performance indicators     

Sam Robertson  Nicole Back  Jonathan D. Bartlett 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(7):637-644

The relationships between team performance indicators and match outcome have been examined in many team sports, however are limited in Australian Rules football. Using data from the 2013 and 2014 Australian Football League (AFL) regular seasons, this study assessed the ability of commonly reported discrete team performance indicators presented in their relative form (standardised against their opposition for a given match) to explain match outcome (Win/Loss). Logistic regression and decision tree (chi-squared automatic interaction detection (CHAID)) analyses both revealed relative differences between opposing teams for “kicks” and “goal conversion” as the most influential in explaining match outcome, with two models achieving 88.3% and 89.8% classification accuracies, respectively. Models incorporating a smaller performance indicator set displayed a slightly reduced ability to explain match outcome (81.0% and 81.5% for logistic regression and CHAID, respectively). However, both were fit to 2014 data with reduced error in comparison to the full models. Despite performance similarities across the two analysis approaches, the CHAID model revealed multiple winning performance indicator profiles, thereby increasing its comparative feasibility for use in the field. Coaches and analysts may find these results useful in informing strategy and game plan development in Australian Rules football, with the development of team-specific models recommended in future.  相似文献   

Teaching about the importance of trees: a study with young children

This paper reports on a study undertaken with the primary aim of investigating the effect of the storytelling teaching approach on kindergarten children's retention of ideas about the importance of trees. The study also assessed the effect of storytelling on children's intention to participate in a tree planting activity that they had to select from a list of activities. The story that was created included such elements as binary opposites, mental images, mystery, and wonder, according to Kieran Egan's theory. The study utilized a two‐group design, was conducted in three phases (pre‐test, intervention, and post‐test), lasted 11 weeks, and its results provide evidence of the effectiveness of the storytelling approach when compared with the traditional method of expository teaching complemented with visual images (pictures) of trees and their importance to human beings. The pedagogical appropriateness of the story, which was based upon the binary pair of opposites ‘security–insecurity’, is also discussed in the paper.  相似文献   

隐喻与象征：安徒生童话中“树”的意象分析     

郑利萍 《南京晓庄学院学报》2011,(4):38-40,66,122

作为童话从民间走向文体自觉的标志性人物,安徒生的童话创作从民间文化中汲取了丰富的素材。树作为丹麦民间传说中具有代表性的意象,不仅丰富了安徒生的童年经验,也是他成年思悟的深刻表达。在安徒生的童话作品中,“树”成为作家对于自我生存的思考与回答。本文试图探索其童话中充满象征与隐喻的“树”的意象,以期寻求解读安徒生童话的新的角度和途径。  相似文献

Integrated MSS effects: An empirical health care investigation     

Guisseppi A. Forgionne  Rajiv Kohli 《Information processing & management》1995,31(6)

Since accurate decisions are required for effective management, much research has focused on information systems that support decision making. Recently, this research has engendered frameworks, such as the management support system (MSS), that are designed to provide comprehensive and integrated support for the decision making process. Few, if any, studies have empirically measured the effects of these frameworks on decision making. This article offers empirical evidence on MSS effectiveness. It overviews the decision making process, presents an MSS for supporting the process, and assesses the influences of the MSS on the process and outcomes of health care decision making. The paper also examines the implications of the analyses for information systems research and health care practice.  相似文献   

普里姆（Prim）算法另解     

刘平原  张霓 《科学中国人》2007,(7):125-126

在《数据结构》有关图的章节中,对最小生成树两大算法的解释都是基于MST性质来说明的。由于MST性质每次是选取原图集中值最小两栖边来构造最小生成树,这个过程较为复杂,现可以反其道而行之,采用“破圈法”——每次删除权值最大的边,来产生最小生成树,过程简洁、结果相同,同时可以证明其正确性,不失为一好算法。  相似文献

决策树算法中过度拟合的研究与解决方案     

王琴竹 《运城学院学报》2011,29(2):53-54,57

决策树算法广泛应用于模式识别和机器学习等领域,用来解决与分类相关的问题。决策树算法中的过度拟合会在很大程度上影响到最终的分类结果。针对过度拟合产生的原因,采用悲观错误剪枝方法,对学生成绩决策数据进行分析,得出影响学生成绩的重要因素。实验表明,该方法可以得到尽可能短的分类规则,有效地提高了决策树的性能。  相似文献
