The Effect of Teacher-Designed Intervention On Decoding Skills of English Language Learners (ELLS) with Specific Learning Disability

This ex post facto study sought to determine the efficacy of a teacher-designed intervention on decoding skills among English language learners (ELLs) identified to have a specific learning disability (SLD). This study examined the literacy profile of a cohort of thirty-six (36) ELLs with SLD grouped according to the intervention approach (IA) and attendance level (AL) to compare before- and after-intervention scores in decoding and word recognition (DWR) and to determine the interaction effect of intervention approach (IA) and attendance level (AL) on the respondents’ gain scores. This study’s findings demonstrated a significant increase in respondents’ scores after receiving the intervention. Also, results indicated a significant combined effect of IA and AL in DWR gain scores. Therefore, educators and interventionists might consider implementing the teacher-designed intervention to help ELLs acquire decoding skills. Future studies should replicate the study but include other learners to determine if these results are unique to ELLs with SLD. In addition, further studies on this topic could add to the body of literature.

Attendance demand in a developing football market: the case of the Peruvian first division

ABSTRACTResearch question: Most of the empirical research on football demand has focused on leagues in developed countries while those in developing countries have received comparatively limited attention. In the absence of more specific analyses of leagues in developing countries, an implicit assumption is that the demand for football across different economies is homogenous. However, such an assumption may lead to inappropriate policies. Therefore, decision-making and policies aimed at attendance and pricing in developing countries should be substantiated with empirical evidence reflecting their settings.Research methods: This paper models match level attendance demand and price in the first tier of the Peruvian football league from 2012 to 2016 inclusive. Using a sample of 1719 matches, two-stage least-squares estimation with instrumental variables is used.Results and findings: We find that attendance in the Peruvian football league is driven by market size, distance between teams and recent performance while local rivalry and price do not exert significant impacts. More importantly, attendance exhibits properties of an inferior good given its relationship with levels of poverty and associated correlation with income.Implications: The implications are that demand models for football in developing and developed economies generate different results as the impacts of some exogenous variables on attendance offer different outcomes. For example, the impact of price and income differ from prior expectations indicating that different approaches are necessary to managing football in developing countries including distinct policies on stadium accommodation.

Nível de atendimento dos materiais classificados como críticos no Hospital Universitário da USP

A falta de materiais de consumo é uma dificuldade enfrentada pelos profissionais da saúde. Algumas ferramentas vêm sendo utilizadas para minimizar essas faltas, entre elas a classificação de materiais XYZ, baseada na importância operacional dos itens. Esta permite fixar Níveis de Atendimento (Nas) e Níveis da Falta (NFs) aos diferentes itens. Os objetivos desse estudo foram levantar o número de solicitações não atendidas dos materiais Z, calcular o NA e NF dos 20 materiais que mais faltaram e conhecer as causas dessas faltas. A amostra das 747 solicitações não atendidas mostrou que dos 572 materiais Z, 39,7% apresentaram falta. O atraso da entrega pelo fornecedor foi a causa mais representativa com 39%. Os NAs variaram de 92,11% a 27,08% e, os NFs de 7,89% a 72,92.
