Abstract

The proposed model provides structure for determining decisions to be made, questions to be answered, and sources of information about evaluation. A sample of the kinds of decisions that can be made for the various matrix elements of the evaluation model is reflected. Examples of questions that could be asked (why) in order to evaluate various aspects of a program (what) and of whom these questions could be asked (who) are provided. The model as described is useful in comprehensively delineating all aspects of the system. The flexibility of the system allows for the unique needs and aspects of the individual school to emerge. The model also provides a framework for organizing and implementing a plan for total program evaluation.

Contaminant mass discharge estimation in groundwater based on multi-level point measurements: a numerical evaluation of expected errors.

Different methods for the field-scale estimation of contaminant mass discharge in groundwater at control planes based on multi-level well data are numerically analysed for the expected estimation error. We consider "direct" methods based on time-integrated measuring of mass flux, as well as "indirect" methods, where estimates are derived from concentration measurements. The appropriateness of the methods is evaluated by means of modelled data provided by simulation of mass transport in a three-dimensional model domain. Uncertain heterogeneous aquifer conditions are addressed by means of Monte-Carlo simulations with aquifer conductivity as a random space function. We investigate extensively the role of the interplay between the spatial resolution of the sampling grid and aquifer heterogeneity with respect to the accuracy of the mass discharge estimation. It is shown that estimation errors can be reduced only if spatial sampling intervals are in due proportion to spatial correlation length scales. The ranking of the methods with regard to estimation error is shown to be heavily dependent on both the given sampling resolution and prevailing aquifer heterogeneity. Regarding the "indirect" estimation methods, we demonstrate the great importance of a consistent averaging of the parameters used for the discharge estimation.

Environmental contamination at Finnish shooting ranges--the scope of the problem and management options.

In Finland, shooting ranges are among the most common activities causing soil contamination. According to our study based on questionnaires and previous regional surveys, the total number of Finnish outdoor shooting ranges is between 2000 and 2500. Most of the ranges are small and only ca. 5% exceed 20 ha. Almost a third of the ranges can cause a groundwater pollution risk, while only few cause an immediate health risk. In the first instance, 50-60 shooting ranges identified as being high-risk areas should be investigated in detail. At present, the risk management options at Finnish shooting ranges are very limited. Hence, soil excavation combined with disposal is the most common remediation technique. Some of the remediation methods used in other countries have been proven unsuitable in Finnish conditions. Therefore, new, feasible, cost-effective and economical remediation technologies are needed. To exclude future contamination, a total ban of lead shot would be the most effective way.

Supplementary prescribing by pharmacists in England.

PURPOSE: The implementation of supplementary prescribing by pharmacists within primary care trusts (PCTs) and secondary care trusts (SCTs) in England was studied. METHODS: A survey was developed and sent to pharmacists in PCTs and SCTs in England who would oversee the implementation of supplementary prescribing by pharmacists. RESULTS: The response rate was 68% for both surveys. The majority of SCTs and PCTs intended to implement supplementary prescribing by pharmacists by the end of 2005 (57% and 56%, respectively). The majority of SCT respondents did not believe that it would be more difficult to recruit designated medical practitioners to supervise supplementary prescribing training for pharmacists as opposed to nurses (67%, n = 43), whereas the largest group of PCT pharmacists believed it would be (47%, n = 86). Within secondary care, the clinical areas in which pharmacists were intending to work as supplementary prescribers were those where they already had established roles. Within primary care, the main clinical areas for pharmacists were influenced by those areas in the new General Medical Services contract Quality and Outcomes Framework for general practitioners. CONCLUSION: A survey investigating the implementation of supplementary prescribing by pharmacists in England found that there were significantly more barriers to its establishment within primary care than secondary care settings. Within primary care, supplementary prescribing is being implemented to develop new services. Within secondary care, the supplementary prescribing model is more often used to legitimize services already being provided.
