Because the Department is a large governmental institution that is evaluated on the basis of achieving measureable targets within a limited budget, cost-benefit analysis defines its success or failure; in comparison, community members and trainers may gauge success on factors not amenable to quantifiable measures such as individual empowerment or community engagement [ 55].
ASSISTments measures that may gauge problem difficulty include mastery speed and attempt count (how many problems and attempts it takes students to master a skill), hint requests (how much help students need before they are able to solve a problem), and attrition (students' persistence in solving the problem).
Depending on their comfort level in dealing with joint symptoms, dermatologists may gauge PsA severity and the risk of progression and initiate treatment.
Indicators of community structure (i.e., diversity indices, keystone species) may gauge ecosystem conditions quite distinct from indicators of function (e.g., primary and secondary production, respiration, and nutrient cycling).
For example, at the outset of the implementation of an integration initiative one may gauge the extent to which there are discrepancies among cultures that will need to be addressed.
Through links to source databases and supporting evidence, researchers may gauge the reliability of an interaction using simple criteria, such as the detection methods, the scale of the study (high- or low-throughput) or the number of cited publications.
We set out to test the economic stress hypothesis that the monthly count of cesarean deliveries (CD), which may gauge the level of fetal distress in a population, rises after the economy declines.
For example, an IAPT clinician may gauge a patient's progress in therapy by comparing their end-of-therapy PHQ-9 to their start-of-therapy PHQ-9 scores, even if these data were collected by telephone at the start and face-to-face at the end, or vice versa.
Rather, the legorgs evolve different locomotion types, as it may be gauged from the different morphologies in Fig. 3.
However hard it may be to gauge the quality and character of the family in our society, it is many times more difficult to understand it in the past.
