Evidence-Based Practice or Practice-Based Evidence? A Qualitative Examination of School Psychologists’ Implementation of Trauma-Informed Interventions

Children who experience traumatizing life events are reported to be at greater risk for behavioral and emotional impairments that can diminish school performance. To address this, school psychologists can implement trauma-informed evidence-based interventions (TI EBIs), or treatments with an empirical basis that support the unique psychosocial needs of traumatized children in schools. However, a research-to-practice gap is described as negatively impacting school psychologists’ implementation of empirically-based direct intervention services. The present study aimed to examine the TI EBI implementation experiences of 16 novice school psychologists with regard to the distinct barriers and facilitators experienced within the in vivo school context, the specific TI interventions and practices used by implementors, and the graduate and post-graduate training implementors received in TI topics. A qualitative interview methodology and thematic analysis coding approach was used for this study. Results of the study indicate little use of published, evidence-based manualized intervention curriculums with fidelity; instead, implementors used modular sequences of activities and strategies (i.e., some of the components or strategies associated with EBIs) to address student concerns. Salient barriers to implementation identified include school psychologist beliefs, the reluctance of teachers, and difficulty engaging with students’ families; facilitators included consultative practices with teachers and other student support personnel. The practicing school psychologists in this study reported minimal graduate training in TI EBIs. In contrast, promising rates of graduate education in evidence-based practices were observed. Results of this research reaffirm the role of the scientist-practitioner training model in promoting evidence-based approaches to conducting interventions in the school setting. Results also include a commentary on the role of school psychologists in trauma treatment. Implications include the importance of school psychologists’ competency in consultation and knowledge of TI practices. Additional implications discussed are the need for novel options for research dissemination for the advancement of school psychologists as school-based mental health providers

Arithmetical structures on bidents

An arithmetical structure on a finite, connected graph $G$ is a pair of vectors $(\mathbf{d}, \mathbf{r})$ with positive integer entries for which $(\operatorname{diag}(\mathbf{d}) - A)\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{0}$, where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$ and where the entries of $\mathbf{r}$ have no common factor. The critical group of an arithmetical structure is the torsion part of the cokernel of $(\operatorname{diag}(\mathbf{d}) - A)$. In this paper, we study arithmetical structures and their critical groups on bidents, which are graphs consisting of a path with two "prongs" at one end. We give a process for determining the number of arithmetical structures on the bident with $n$ vertices and show that this number grows at the same rate as the Catalan numbers as $n$ increases. We also completely characterize the groups that occur as critical groups of arithmetical structures on bidents.Comment: 32 page

Auditoría interna y la rentabilidad en Hayex Technology S.A.C – Breña 2019

El presente trabajo de investigación: Auditoría Interna y la Rentabilidad en Hayex Technology S.A.C – Breña 2019. Su objetivo es demostrar el impacto de la Auditoría interna en la rentabilidad en Hayex Technology S.A.C – Breña 2019. Con relación al proyecto de examinación empleada es básica, de nivel descriptivo, diseño no experimental. La población y la muestra del proyecto de investigación están constituidos por un equipo de 13 personas, los centros de costo usados son administrativas y operativas, están dadas en la cantidad de personas de ambos géneros (hombres y mujeres) y su labor que desarrollan en la compañía. Los efectos que ha tenido esta indagación fueron percibidos por una inspección realizada a la auditoría interna, lo cual este, es aquel método de normas y políticas de una compañía para así ayudar a la mejora de las actividades y la operatividad de la compañía, es como una inspección, todo esto mejorara el sostenimiento económico y la rentabilidad. Como consecuencias de las investigaciones hechas en la empresa en Hayex Technology S.A.C, se determinó como conclusión que la implementación de una auditoría interna progresa y enriquece en su impacto a la Rentabilidad.The present research work: Internal Audit and Profitability at Hayex Technology S.A.C - Breña 2019. Its objective is to demonstrate the impact of Internal Audit on profitability at Hayex Technology S.A.C - Breña 2019. In relation to the examination project used, it is basic, descriptive level, nonexperimental design. The population and the research project sample are made up of a team of 13 people, the cost centers used are administrative and operational, they are given in the number of people of both genders (men and women) and their work carried out in the company. The effects that this investigation has had were perceived by an inspection made to the internal audit, which is that method of standards and policies of a company in order to help improve the activities and operation of the company, it is like an inspection, all of this will improve financial sustainability and profitability. Because of the investigations carried out in the company at Hayex Technology S.A.C, it was determined as a conclusion that the implementation of an internal audit progresses and enriches its impact on Profitability

Auditoría interna y la rentabilidad en la empresa Hayex Technology S.A.C – Breña, 2021

La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo determinar la relación entre la Auditoría Interna y la rentabilidad de la empresa Hayex Technology S.A.C – Breña. La metodología utilizada fue basada en un enfoque cuantitativo; investigación tipo básica, nivel correlacional; se estudió a una población conformada por 20 trabajadores de las áreas administrativa y contable de la empresa; no se utilizó muestra, debido a que se pudo abordar a toda la población objetivo de la investigación. La recolección de datos se realizó con la técnica de encuesta y los instrumentos fueron dos cuestionarios elaborados con ítems de alternativas cerradas, con escala tipo Likert, los cuales se aplicaron a la población objeto de la investigación. Se ratifica que los dos cuestionarios fueron sometidos a validez de Juicio de expertos y lograron su aprobación; asimismo, se calculó la confiabilidad de los instrumentos con la técnica del Alfa de Cronbach; cuyos coeficientes fueron 0,784 y 0,813 respectivamente en los cuestionarios para las variables auditoría interna y rentabilidad respectivamente; lo cual indicó que los instrumentos eran altamente confiables. Se concluyó que la auditoría interna se relaciona directamente con la rentabilidad en la empresa Hayex Technology S.A.C - Breña, 2021. Se pone énfasis en que el coeficiente de correlación fue 0,832; lo cual indica una correlación muy alta y directa entre ambas variables.The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the Internal Audit and the profitability of the company Hayex Technology S.A.C - Breña. The methodology used was based on a quantitative approach; basic research, correlational level; a population of 20 workers from the administrative and accounting areas of the company was studied; no sample was used, because the entire target population of the research could be approached. The data collection was carried out with the survey technique and the instruments were two questionnaires elaborated with items of closed alternatives, with a Likert-type scale, which were applied to the target population of the research. It is ratified that the two questionnaires were submitted to expert judgment validity and were approved; also, the reliability of the instruments was calculated with the Cronbach's Alpha technique; whose coefficients were 0.784 and 0.813 respectively in the questionnaires for the internal audit and profitability variables, respectively; which indicated that the instruments were highly reliable. It was concluded that the internal audit is directly related to the profitability in the company Hayex Technology S.A.C - Breña, 2021. It is emphasized that the correlation coefficient was 0.832; which indicates a very high and direct correlation between both variables
