Background Monitoring and evaluation of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programs is critical to facilitating learning and providing accountability to stakeholders. As part of an inter-agency effort to develop recommendations on MHPSS monitoring and evaluation, this scoping review aimed to identify the terminology and focus of monitoring and evaluation frameworks in this field. ...

background :growth retardation in children is a result of nutritional ignorance, inappropriate care, and inadequate monitoring of growth monitoring. this study was performed to assess the effect of mothers education program based on the precede model on the mean weight of children (6-12 months) at health centers in shiraz, fars province.   methods : this quasi experimental study was conducted o...

The National Park Service has developed a long-term ecological monitoring program for 32 ecoregional networks containing more than 270 parks with significant natural resources. The monitoring program assists park managers in developing a broad-based understanding of the status and trends of park resources as a basis for making decisions and working with other agencies and the public for the lon...

Achieving high performance for parallel or distributed programs often requires substantial amounts of information about the programs themselves, about the systems on which they are executing, and about specific program runs. The monitoring system presented in this paper collects, analyzes, and makes application-dependent monitoring information available to the programmer and to the executing pr...

Information on the ecological functions of forests is important for sustainable forest management. In this study, we introduced the national monitoring program which has been used in China to evaluate the overall health status and ecological functions of forests. We also compared it to similar monitoring programs operating in Europe and the United States of America. We revealed the strength and...

Runtime verification is a formal technique used to check whether a program under inspection satisfies its specification by using a runtime monitor. Existing monitoring approaches use one of two ways for evaluating a set of logical properties: (1) event-triggered, where the program invokes the monitor when the state of the program changes, and (2) time-triggered, where the monitor periodically p...

The OMIS project aims at deening a standard interface between tools for parallel systems and monitoring systems. Monitors act as mediators between tools and the parallel program running on some target architecture. Their task is to observe and manipulate the program according to the tool's commands. A standardized interface will allow diierent research groups to develop tools which can be used ...

Development projects in tropical forests can impact biodiversity. Assessment and monitoring programs based on the principles of adaptive management assist managers to identify and reduce such impacts. The small mammal community is one important component of a forest ecosystem that may be impacted by development projects. In 1996, a natural gas exploration project was initiated in a Peruvian rai...

Monitoring of program behavior is a basic necessity for performance tuning and debugging. A major problem is the overhead associated with the monitoring tasks, which influences the program’s behavior and affects the observation results. At the same time, a certain amount of data is needed for the program analysis activities. For this reason, monitoring approaches have to balance the amount of o...
