BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of one lesson of continuing medical education (CME) of subjective assessment of optic nerve head appearance on sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of glaucoma. METHODS Ophthalmologists and residents in ophthalmology attending an international glaucoma meeting arranged at Malmö University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden, were asked to grade optic nerve head ...

Abstract In this paper the concept of quantile-based optimal portfolio selection is introduced and a specific connected to it, conditional value-of-return (CVoR) portfolio, proposed. The CVoR defined as mean excess return or value-at-risk (CVaR) distribution. consists solely risk measures. Financial institutions that work in context Basel 4 use CVaR measure. regulatory framework sufficient nece...

Background: Portfolios are used as instruments to support learning, competence achievement, and reflection [1]. When portfolios are used for assessment purposes, validity of portfolio data is paramount. This systematic review was performed to investigate in which way validity of portfolio data in medical education are studied and reported in scientific literature. The validity framework of Mess...

This paper proposes a highly efficient quantum algorithm for portfolio optimisation targeted at near-term noisy intermediate-scale computers. Recent work by Hodson et al. (2019) explored potential application of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to the problem financial rebalancing. In particular, they deal with using Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithm and Alternating Operator Ansatz....

This paper evaluates a studio-based teaching model in a core first year subject of a traditionally delivered IT degree at an Australian university. It reports on first year students’ reactions to four aspects of the studio-based teaching and learning environment: the physical learning space, IT tools and infrastructure, teaching philosophy, and portfolio assessment. Data was obtained through on...

This paper presents and compares two original techniques for disruptive technology assessment and foresight based on opposite paradigm: a management science approach (Multi-Criteria Decision-Making) versus a Web 2.0 approach (Prediction Market). These approaches are intended to support the management of a technology portfolio and the assessment of new technology by an IT organization. In order ...

Organizations are increasingly interested in improving IT project management in a multi-project or portfolio environment. This research presents a project assessment methodology based on defining a common risk-return vocabulary between IT and business stakeholders. The proposed methodology could help project managers highlight any differences in perceptions between business and IT that might im...

This paper uses a case study to show how we developed a criterionbased assessment instrument in the context of a postgraduate level module in a South African University.The module's pedagogy is based on three inter-linked active learning strategies.The 'African Catchment Game' is a role-playing simulation game and is the focus of this article.The other activities were a portfolio and a computer...
