Delimitations Sample Clauses
Delimitations. Possible delimitations of the CEA were identified at the beginning of the study. These included costs of teledentistry equipment even though they were annuitized, utilization of average wage data for caregivers time away from work while taking children to traditional dentistry care, and the inherent flaws of a CEA. The threshold and sensitivity analysis ultimately tested the assigned cost of teledentistry equipment and caregivers’ average wages over a range of values. The threshold analysis results showed that teledentistry costs could potentially adversely affect the model results when children’s self-esteem was excluded but was not identified as an influencing variable when the intangible cost of children’s self-esteem was included in the analysis. The value assessed for parents’ wages had no effect on the model. Conducting a CEA provides a lot of information about the economic value of services but fails to address many of the questions public health officials may consider when allocating resources. For instance, CEAs provide a ‘snap-shot’ of a service but fail to quantify benefits or costs for those who were excluded. For example, the dental status and access to dental care of home-schooled children in Xxxxxxxx County is not considered. Also, the SEHD’s teledentistry program is funded by a federal grant, and the CEA does not take into account whether these funds could have been better utilized in another location.
Delimitations. This study’s focus is on the inclusion of all students into a public-school music education program and not the holistic course of study in secondary education in California. The population chosen includes the populous and accessible areas of the state to the researcher. The primary goal for all student populations is to have access to a cultural, artistic method of developing a higher cognitive understanding and physical ability to produce music in the secondary school setting. Moreover, the intention is to provide an archeological snapshot of the state of California secondary school’s music education programs and the methods that are currently applied in the early 21st century. This snapshot will provide future researchers with a platform for their research in music education curriculum development and application.
Delimitations. All participants will be middle school students, Grades 6, 7 and 8.
Delimitations. In an attempt to gain a better understanding of the issues facing school principals and systems employed to support them by central offices today, this researcher chose only to utilize public school districts in the study. This prevented getting the input and information on systems utilized in private and independent charter schools.
Delimitations. This research focused on four schools that are located in a suburban district in California. All participants are from a select group and the researcher utilized convenience sampling and works in the same district as the participants. The study only focused on Tier 1 instructional strategies in mathematics in a K-6 school setting. The study focused on the relationship between the teacher’s job satisfaction and knowledge of mathematics, use of district provided curriculum, professional development and time spent in Professional Learning Communities towards student achievement in mathematics. The author of this study was the primary researcher responsible for all data collection and analysis. The researcher is a district administrator and knew the participants professionally throughout district trainings.
Delimitations. The Swiss Confederation is responsible for emissions reductions achieved by measures it has put into effect itself. This applies specifically to the carbon tax on combustibles, to the amendment of the Law on the taxation of mineral oils, aimed at encouraging the use of natural gas as a fuel and bio fuels, as well as to the amendment of the Law on the taxation of automobile vehicles, designed to encourage energy efficient and environmentally sound vehicles via a bonus/malus system. The agreed overall reduction volume is not affected by the crediting of emissions reductions abroad to third parties by the SAEFL. Reductions credited to third parties must be compensated by the Foundation with reductions within Switzerland. The difference in cost between projects in Switzerland and projects abroad shall be given due consideration. The contracting parties jointly establish the required volume of reductions.
Delimitations. College and career preparation is a broad topic and could impact various aspects of high school education. Several delimitations were identified so that the research questions can be addressed. The high schools in the identified district include specialty schools, dependent charter schools, and alternative and comprehensive high schools. Private and independent charter high schools located within the boundaries of the identified district will not be included in this study. Participants for this study are high school graduates who are at least 23 years of age. Non-high school graduates and graduates younger than 23 years old will not be considered because they would not have had the opportunity to complete high school or the time to finish college, trade school, and enter the workforce. High school staff members and their perceptions of college and career preparation will not be an aspect of this study so that the research findings only consider the students’ points of view. This research study is organized into five chapters. The first chapter introduces the research problem, theoretical framework, research questions to identify, and an introduction to the research methodology that supports the application of this research study. Chapter 2, the review of literature, provides information that addresses the research question. Chapter 3 is an explanation of the research instrument and how it will be applied, analyzed, and utilized to reach a conclusion. Chapter 4 will discuss the research instrument’s findings. Chapter 5 (the final chapter) will summarize the findings from the research instrument, address each research question, and provide recommendations for future research in the area of college and career.
Delimitations. Administrative or supervisory personnel are expressly excluded from the terms and conditions of the Agreement, i.e., Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent(s), Principal(s), Federal Projects Coordinator(s), Assistant Principal(s), Director(s) of Vocational Education, Athletic Director, and such other supervisory positions as expressed or intended within the meaning of the Public Employment Relations Act. Also, certified teachers in the Adult/Community Education program, and certified teachers in the Naval R.O.T.C. program, are expressly excluded from the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Delimitations. Scania basic warranty is limited only in time and not by mileage, which is a quite common practice amongst other automobile manufacturers as well. Field claim reported during the first year of warranty is thus the standard measure of field quality at Scania. This study therefore is concerned only with the field claims and does not include any information about mileage usage limit. The amount of time it takes to execute a code i.e. run-time depends upon the complexity of the code. Although, it may be a good idea theoretically to do a certain modification in the code which will improve its output accuracy; practically the run-time maybe too long for it to be used on a regular basis. Therefore, although this study identifies some more parameters to be included in the code written in SAS, practically it is not possible to execute it. Moreover, due to confidentiality concerns, some information has been purposefully removed from certain sections viz. 2.1.2, 2.5.1, 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4.
Delimitations. The experiment in order to prove the statement of this thesis, will be based on a 2 node CAN bus network. In simple terms, there will be only 2 nodes interconnected and transmitting data over the same bus. Other type of automotive networking protocols, will not be part of the investigation. The main prerequisite will be at least 2 nodes interconnected through a CAN interface.
