Un Metodo Non Parametrico Multi-Aspetto per la Valutazione dell’Esperienza Universitaria
No full textThe University experience is central in the life of the young. Universities should provide a high level student support. To this end, a careful evaluation of university services is necessary. This evaluation is complex because it involves many aspects. Therefore, a multi-aspect nonparametric method which allows to combine several partial evaluations is used. The method is applied to data from a sample survey conducted on students of the University of Padova that are at the end of the study process. In the paper we consider the quality of many services, such as registrar’s offices, the structure of exams, student socialization and reached skills
Dipendenza della salute dalla storia e dallo status familiare: metodi di analisi e problemi
No full textUn Metodo Nonparametrico Pesato per Valutare il Grado di Accessibilità delle Famiglie ai Servizi
No full textIl grado di accessibilità a dieci servizi di pubblica utilità rilevato dall’ISTAT nell’Indagine Multiscopo Sulle Famiglie (1998) viene analizzato mediante un metodo nonparametrico. Tramite questo metodo, per ciascuna famiglia si calcola un indice normalizzato che fornisce una misura globale del grado di difficoltà nell’accedere ai servizi. La misura è ottenuta attraverso una procedura di combina-zione nonparametrica delle graduatorie di accessibilità per servizio. Vengono svilup-pate in dettaglio due diverse ipotesi di lavoro. Nel primo caso si assegna la stessa importanza ai servizi. Nel secondo caso si assegna un peso maggiore ai servizi di Pronto Soccorso, Negozi di Alimentari e Supermercati. Lo scopo è quello di descri-vere il disagio globale nell’accesso ai servizi sociali e sanitari di prima necessità per famiglia e di valutare eventuali differenze anche in relazione alla classificazione del-le famiglie in otto gruppi sulla base di caratteristiche rilevanti come la presenza di anziani, bambini o malati cronici
A Non-Parametric Index of Accessibility of Services for Households
No full textThe accessibility level of ten public services, collected by ISTAT within the Multi-Purpose Survey on Households, is analyzed within a non-parametric framework, and an index measuring the global difficulty in accessing services for households is proposed in the paper. The index is obtained by means of a non-parametric procedure of combination of service accessibility rankings. Two approaches are developed: in the first, the same weight is given to all services; in the second, more importance is assigned to Emergency Room, Groceries and Supermarket services. The aim is to evaluate, from a general point of view, the access difficulty of households to essential social and health services, in relation to their classification into eight groups according to important aspects such as the presence in the family of elderly people, children, or chronically ill people
Skills and training requirements of municipal directors: a statistical assessment
No full textA survey has been performed in collaboration with the National Association of
the Municipalities of Italy (Veneto region) to study the role of the municipalities with
regard to the local area, to reconceptualize the profile of public directors and to study
municipal directors as far as requirements in terms of competencies for skills and training
are concerned. In the paper the importance of municipal director requirements for skills
and training is assessed using composite indicators. The analysis showed that the most
important skill requirements refer to internal aspects of the organization, whereas the most
important training requirements refer also to external aspects. The analysis has been repeated
on the strata of municipal directors obtained by considering municipality population,
director sex, length of service, education and opinions about municipal mission. It is
shown that the various strata of directors are rather concordant in assessing the importance
of skill and training requirements. Municipal directors are aware of Italian public administration
now being oriented toward new public management where they are assessed
according to the results they produce. The robustness of the results has been addressed
using uncertainty analysis
A Global Rank of the Delphi survey items on the Futures Scenarios of the Familiy
No full textThis paper describes some of the results of the research conducted by the Delphi method on the family tomorrow. Some hypotheses of future scenarios useful to understand today and to equip themselves for tomorrow are evaluated by a selected group of experts. From the focus group material, 41 items were identified, divided into 7 sections corresponding to different thematic areas concerning the family. (Parents, spouses, extended family, children, housing, family models, politics and services, communication, solidarity).
The research was carried out in four successive surveys, the first through a face-to-face interview to 32 experts selected according to criteria of expertise on the theme of the family. The subsequent ones using a CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Based Interview) based on the online self-compilation of a computerized questionnaire, for which the LimeSurvey software was used (www.limesurvey.org). Respondents were asked to provide two assessments. The first "Evolution", and "Relevance" assigning a value between 0 and 100. In order to evaluate the relative importance of the various items, the Global Rank approach based on compound indicators was used
