TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an interview with all the female headteachers of one English shire county to understand their own experiences and views on barriers to women's progress.
Abstract: Summary The number of women who achieve senior posts in educational management is disproportionate to the number of women employed. This is particularly true for women in secondary education, where only about 20 per cent of headships are held by women. All the female headteachers of one English shire county were interviewed about their own experiences and views on barriers to women's progress. The interview schedule was based on the author's classification of the theories of Shakeshaft and Schmuck. The data are analysed under the headings of: overt and covert discrimination; constraints experienced within the work situation; and constraints experienced through roles outside the work situation and early career influences. The headteachers had experienced both overt discrimination and more subtle sexism and tended to meet both with pragmatism, rather than confrontation. They had avoided gender‐stereotyped roles within the work situation, and were generally free of the major responsibility for domestic affai...

TL;DR: The development of an intelligent clinical information management system which at the most fundamental level of clinical decision support facilitates both the organised acquisition of clinical information and knowledge and provides a test-bed for the development and evaluation of knowledge-based decision support functions is described.

TL;DR: An algorithm for solving nonlinear discrete time optimal control problems with model-reality differences is presented, which achieves the correct optimal solution in spite of deficiencies in the mathematical model employed in the optimization procedure.
Abstract: An algorithm for solving nonlinear discrete time optimal control problems with model-reality differences is presented. The technique uses Dynamic Integrated System Optimization and Parameter Estimation (DISOPE), which achieves the correct optimal solution in spite of deficiencies in the mathematical model employed in the optimization procedure. A version of the algorithm with a linear-quadratic model-based problem, implemented in the C+ + programming language, is developed and applied to illustrative simulation examples. An analysis of the optimality and convergence properties of the algorithm is also presented.

TL;DR: Multiple choice questionnaires capable of being marked manually or by a newly developed optical mark reader, or by use of an inexpensive inter‐active microcomputer system have been developed for the separate assessment of insulin‐dependent and non‐insulin‐dependent patient knowledge.
Abstract: Multiple choice questionnaires (MCQs) capable of being marked manually or by a newly developed optical mark reader, or by use of an inexpensive inter-active microcomputer system have been developed for the separate assessment of insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent patient knowledge Forty-six insulin-related and non-insulin-related multiple choice questions covering six main areas of knowledge were constructed for inclusion into draft questionnaires From the responses of a total of 180 completed questionnaires, piloted in 18 randomly selected clinics in 14 Regional Health Authorities in England, psychometric analysis was performed to determine reliability, discrimination coefficients, and facility indices Seventy-three per cent of insulin-dependent diabetic patients (IDDM) and 92% of non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients (NIDDM) MCQ correct options had facility indices within the acceptable range of 30 to 90% 82% IDDM and 93% NIDDM correct options had discrimination coefficients exceeding 02 Questionnaire reliability (internal consistency) using the Kudor-Richardson (KR20) formula was IDDM 087 and NIDDM 082 Evidence in support of the IDDM questionnaire's criterion validity was based on significant differences (p less than 005) identified between a number of knowledge area scores stratified according to HbA1 levels Prescriptive correction for screen display and automatic hard copy feedback was designed for both incorrect and omitted question options, providing both educational (patient) and analytical (clinic) documentation Both technical and psychometric properties of these knowledge assessment instruments should be acceptable for diabetic knowledge evaluation and instruction
