Human Interface and the Management of Information. Information and Knowledge in Context

17th International Conference, HCI International 2015, Los Angeles, CA, USA, August 2-7, 2015, Proceedings

The two-volume set LNCS 9172 and 9173 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Human Interface and the Management of Information thematic track, held as part of the 17th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2015, held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in August 2015, jointly with 15 other thematically similar conferences. The total of 1462 papers and 246 posters presented at the HCII 2015 conferences were carefully reviewed and selected from 4843 submissions. These papers address the latest research and development efforts and highlight the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas. This volume contains papers addressing the following major topics: context modelling and situational awareness; decision-support systems; information and interaction for driving; information and interaction for learning and education; information and interaction for culture and art; supporting work and collaboration; information and interaction for safety, security and reliability; information and interaction for novel advanced environments.

Metacognitive ability can be decomposed into three sub abilities: metacognitive
monitoring, control and knowledge. This study investigates correlation between
these sub abilities and score of map. The correlation presents, in learning with
KB map, which sub ability affect map score, that is, understanding of learner. The
result shows there is the correlation between metacognitive control and map
scores. From this result, it can be considered that Kb map helps learners to

A Metacognitive Approach to Social Skills Training

MASST : a Program for Grades 4 Through 12

This step-by-step plan contains 150 teacher-tested activities in social skills for all students in grades 4-12. The emphasis is on helping students to develop self-control, evaluation techniques, the ability to make better choices, & foresightedness. Their problem-solving skills, observation skills, & communication skills are addressed. Students learn how to act responsibly, set goals, change their own behavior, become more sensitive to the needs of others & more willing to change. Out-of-school practice activities, easy-to-follow lesson plans, & clear, concise directions on how to use them are included. Ready-to-copy activities & worksheets, plus a guide that tells you how to adapt for 4- to 18-week sessions are also provided.

Effectiveness of the Committee In 2010-12

First Report of Session 2012-13, Report, Together with Formal Minutes

This report discusses the impact of the Committee work in the 2010-12 Session of Parliament. Prepared as a Traffic Light Report, the first of its kind, it scores Government responses to each of the Committee's recommendations as green, red or yellow, to indicate whether, in the Committee's view, they have been accepted by the Government, rejected, or are still under consideration or development. It is intended as a benchmark and tool for developing a more strategic approach to scrutiny, which will improve the Committee's ability to hold the Home Office to account. Going forward, it will be used as the basis for the systematic follow-up of recommendations over the rest of the Parliament.

We recommend that the Home Office either carries out this research itself, or
commissions another body, such as Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary,
to carry it out, to assess whether large-scale collaboration with the private sector
offers forces the scope to make savings, whilst maintaining or enhancing
operational effectiveness. The picture is far from clear at present. This is an
emerging area and some research about the benefits and disadvantages would
be helpful to forces ...

The economic impact and effectiveness of development aid

6th report of session 2010-12

This report examines the Government's plans for a real terms increase of 37% in official aid spending in the four years to 2015. The report does not address humanitarian aid for relief of acute distress following conflict, famine, natural disasters or other emergencies, which is less than 10% of official aid spending. This inquiry has shown that finding ways to realise the simple ambition of reducing poverty by means of development aid is hugely challenging. Economic growth is essential if poverty is to be reduced. There is however no agreement amongst experts as to the effectiveness of development aid in promoting growth. There is far from universal agreement amongst experts as to what the aim of aid should be or forms of aid are the most effective. There is also disagreement as to what is the best way to channel aid and whether aid should focus on those countries where poverty is most acute - often where without better governance, aid will prove a waste of time or worse. Yet further, there is disagreement as to whether aid is a tool enabling donor countries to combat corruption and bring about internal peace, or whether it tends to feed corruption and sustain damaging internal conflicts. Expert opinion is however virtually united in agreement that DFID enjoys an outstanding reputation internationally as an effective aid agent. The Committee makes recommendations designed to improve DFID's performance further. In particular it is feared that, sometimes, it is pursuing various good objectives that are likely to prove mutually incompatible

subsequently wrote to us admitting the figures could be derived from published
documentation. In oral evidence, the ICAI failed to convince the committee that it
was appropriately resourced for the work with which it was charged and that it
could be relied on adequately to fulfil its role. These are early days for ICAI, but
we recommend that both Parliament and DFID monitor ICAI'S own effectiveness
closely, ...
