Introduction Conformity assessment is generally any activity undertaken to determine, whether a product, process, system, person or body meets relevant standards and fulfills specified requirements [1]. The main application of conformity assessment is in facilitating trade. In a particular kind of conformity assessment, sometimes called inspection, the determination that a product fulfils a specified requirement relies on measurement as a principal source of information [2]. In each quantified…

This write-up focusses on three concepts of sound assessment practice namely reliability, feasibility and educational impact. Reliability Reliability refers to the ‘reproducibility’, ‘repeatability’ or ‘consistency’ of the scores obtained from an assessment (Memon et al, 2010; van der Vleuten et al, 2005). Reliability is generally expressed as a coefficient ranging from 0 (no reliability) to 1 (perfect reliability). Since it is difficult to achieve perfect reliability in any assessment, a…

value is found to be insignificant at 5 percent level. Lastly, the coefficient between ROI and CTR depict moderate degree of positive association of 0.479. This is found to be significant at 5 percent level. Multiple correlation and multiple regression techniques have been applied to study the joint influence of the selected ratios relating to working capital management on the profitability of the company. For the purpose of selection of variable in this analysis, the correlation matrix…

Table 2. The results exhibit the facets of the Five Factor Model that are high predictors of suicide behavior, as measured by the SPS, particularly N3 (Depressivity), A1 (Trust), A3 (Altruism), and N5 (Impulsiveness). Forward Stepwise Regression Analysis – Excluding N3 Due to the fact that N3 (Depressivity) has already been proven to be a high predictor of suicide behavior, the researchers conducted another Forward Stepwise Regression With N3 (Depressivity) being highly significant, it was…

After collection of enough spectrum sensing results from each secondary user by the FC as above, relation is determined in the spectrum sensing results of each SU to identify both OMU and ROMU with the abnormal sensing reports to the fusion centre using the following steps. Variation in the Sensing results In the first step, FC measure the differences in the sensing results provided by each individual SU with all other SUs, during each sensing interval from initial to N_0 interval. Here sensing…

Question 1 (i) Mean: ‘’The sum of a series of measurements (or numbers) divided by the number of those measurements.’’ (Open University,2015: S104 Exploring Science Glossary, Milton Keynes, The Open University). Scientific Notation: ‘’ A notation that represents any number by expressing it as a number that is equal to or greater than 1 but less than 10, multiplied by a simple power of ten where the index may be positive or negative. Thus, 1.30 × 103 is in scientific notation (because 1.30 is…

Balance Balance is evaluated on 7 items. Again, points are administered for independence and strength of performance of individual actions, such as sitting or standing. Maximum score for this section is 14. The Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living The Barthel scale (reference) is a ten item index assessing patients Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and morbidity, including: absence or presence or faecal and/or urinary incontinence, as well needing help with grooming, toilet use,…

CMS offers the Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) program as a difference option to MIPS. And if you qualify for an Advanced APM, then you don’t have to report MIPS data. Then you would receive a lump sum payment amounting to 5 percent of your Medicare Part B fee-for-service payments for the previous year rather than receiving a payment adjustment on your Medicare charges. That means being included in an Advanced APM also removes the threat of a negative adjustment that is part of the…
