Financial Communication : A Critical Assessment
This essential guide to financial communication provides a concise critical overview of this increasingly important field.It challenges existing assumptions about the role and significance of financial public relations (PR) and investor relations, and the dominant paradigm of shareholder value.This book explores how the dominant paradigm in financial PR is based on the methodologically and historically incorrect assumption of symmetrical communication. Highlighting the importance of financial communications in the corporate hierarchy where it is often a direct function of the Finance Director, this book critically assesses its ideological role in normalising the idea and role of ‘the market’ and promotes the neoliberal view that the sole function of the public company is to increase shareholder value.It opens up new theoretical perspectives by considering retail investor behaviour from the perspective of fandom theory through the behaviour of investors during financial booms, busts and bubbles. This volume will be of interest to researchers in the fields of PR, financial communication, accounting and financial management as well as practitioners working in financial PR and investor relations.

Inpatient Functional Communication Interview : Screening, Assessment, and Intervention
The Inpatient Functional Communication Interview: Screening, Assessment, and Intervention (IFCI: SAI) is a set of four resources for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and other healthcare professionals working in acute and rehabilitation hospitals.They can be used separately or together to enhance patient-provider communication in hospitals.The IFCI: SAI has been developed so healthcare professionals can identify and support patients who have difficulty communicating, with a focus on patients with communication disability. The first resource is the Screening Questionnaire.The Screening Questionnaire is designed to identify patients who have difficulty communicating about their healthcare and will need support to communicate with healthcare providers in hospital. The second resource is the Inpatient Functional Communication Interview (IFCI).The IFCI is a semi-structured interview that the SLP conducts at the patient’s bedside.During the interview, the SLP investigates how well the patient can communicate in everyday healthcare communication activities.If the SLP and patient have difficulty communicating, the clinician investigates if any communication supports or strategies enable successful communication. The third resource is a set of impairment rating scales.These assist the SLP to rate their initial clinical impressions of the patient’s speech intelligibility, spoken language, and cognitive-communicative function.Each rating scale provides descriptions of speech, language, and cognitive-communicative function on a five-point scale ranging from no impairment to complete impairment. The final resource is a set of Environmental Questionnaires (EQs).The EQs assist SLPs and other healthcare professionals to screen the communicative environment for factors influencing patient-provider communication in their setting.Once the factors that influence patient-provider communication have been identified, SLPs and other healthcare professionals may be better informed and more able to systematically address these factors to develop communicatively accessible hospital services. Speech-language pathologists play a vital role in supporting hospital patients with communication disorders and their healthcare providers to communicate in optimal ways.This requires a broad view of the role of SLPs in hospitals: one that incorporates individual patient-provider interactions and the broader communicative environment of the hospital as well.The Inpatient Functional Communication Interview: Screening, Assessment, and Intervention provides SLPs and other healthcare professionals with the resources to explore and develop this emerging, new role.Additionally, a PluralPlus companion website includes video examples that pair with case studies from the book to demonstrate how to use the resources in practice.

Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency : Assessment of Projects and Policies
The recent rise to prominence of renewable energy and energy efficiency has been driven by their potential to lower the environmental impacts of energy use.As these technologies mature they must demonstrate not only their environmental benefits, but also their economic competitiveness.The relative costs and benefits of each potential project, whether large or small, must be systematically modelled and assessed before they can be financed and implemented. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency: Assessment of Projects and Policies deals with the appraisal of such projects against financial and non-financial criteria, illustrating the assessment tools necessary to make appropriate, evidence based decisions as efficiently as possible.The most important technologies are first described, stressing their economic and performance characteristics.Key project appraisal concepts are then introduced, approaches to modelling the cash flows in energy projects are described, and the issues of uncertainty and optimisation are fully discussed.These financial concepts, together with methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions, are extended to address aspects of energy policy.Illustrated with many case studies this is an ideal introduction to financial and non-financial appraisal techniques as applied to energy efficient and renewable energy technologies.

Is oral assessment in high school weighted the same as written assessment?
In many high schools, oral assessments are often weighted differently than written assessments. Written assessments typically carry more weight as they are seen as a more traditional and objective form of evaluation. However, some educators are recognizing the importance of oral assessments in developing communication skills and critical thinking, and are starting to give them more weight in the overall assessment. Ultimately, the weighting of oral versus written assessments may vary depending on the school and the specific subject being assessed.

Technology and Assessment: the Tale of Two Interpretations
Together, the words technology and assessment have different meaning for different people.Those who work with educational or instructional technology take these words to mean assessing the impacts of technology on teaching and learning.Test developers and psychometricians, however, consider ways in which computer-based technologies can be used to enhance current approaches to student assessment.This book examines technology and assessment from both perspectives by examining past, current and promising methodologies and applications in both fields.The influences instructional uses of technology and the increasing reliance on testing to gauge student and school performance have on one another are also explored.The book concludes by describing an organizational structure that could bring instructional applications of technology and assessment practices into closer alignment.

Technology Choice Model for Consequential Life Cycle Assessment
Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA) aims at capturing the environmental consequences of decisions such as the introduction of a new technology, the implementation of a policy, or the purchase of a product.CLCA combines technical and economic modeling approaches to track the consequences of decisions throughout the economy, considering both technical relationships within industrial production systems and market-mediated effects.However, although CLCA is well defined at a conceptual level, a commonly accepted modeling framework for CLCA is still missing, leading to wide differences in CLCA practice. To promote the systematization of the CLCA approach, this thesis proposes a comprehensive modeling framework for CLCA: the Technology Choice Model (TCM).Compared to existing approaches, TCM captures market-mediated effects in multiple markets at a substantially higher level of technical detail, while systematically considering constraints in factor availability, uncertainty, and suboptimal decisions.Due to its higher level of technical detail, TCM can model changes in technology mixes through both capacity adaptions and substitution effects among competing technologies.These changes in technology mixes are shown to substantially affect the CLCA results in two illustrative case studies on the introduction of new technologies and climate policy.Furthermore, the consideration of uncertainties and suboptimal decisions provides the basis for a first comprehensive uncertainty assessment in CLCA. The practical application of TCM is demonstrated in a large-scale industrial case study on novel Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies in the chemical industry.These technologies use carbon dioxide from industrial point sources or ambient air as alternative carbon feedstock for chemical production.The case study shows that CCU in the chemical industry can reduce up to 3.5 Gt CO2-eq greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2030 and highlights potential barriers for CCU implementation.The results provide a strong scientific basis for the integration of CCU into international policy frameworks and research agendas.The application of TCM in this case study demonstrates the ability of CLCA to provide sound environmental decision support.

Is the Abitur assessment stricter than the exam assessment or are they comparable?
The Abitur assessment is generally considered to be stricter than regular exam assessments. This is because the Abitur is a high-stakes examination that determines a student's eligibility for university education in Germany. The Abitur covers a wider range of subjects and requires a deeper level of understanding and critical thinking compared to regular exams. Additionally, the grading criteria for the Abitur are standardized across the country, making it a more rigorous and standardized assessment compared to regular exams.
