  • the reliability of a modified kalamazoo consensus statement checklist for assessing the communication skills of multidisciplinary clinicians in the simulated environment
    Patient Education and Counseling, 2014
    Co-Authors: Eleanor B Peterson, Elizabeth A Rider, Aaron W Calhoun
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective With increased recognition of the importance of sound communication skills and communication skills education, Reliable Assessment tools are essential. This study reports on the psychometric properties of an Assessment tool based on the Kalamazoo Consensus Statement Essential Elements Communication Checklist. Methods The Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Form (GKCSAF), a modified version of an existing communication skills Assessment tool, the Kalamazoo Essential Elements Communication Checklist-Adapted, was used to assess learners in a multidisciplinary, simulation-based communication skills educational program using multiple raters. 118 simulated conversations were available for analysis. Internal consistency and inter-rater reliability were determined by calculating a Cronbach's alpha score and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), respectively. Results The GKCSAF demonstrated high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.844 (faculty raters) and 0.880 (peer observer raters), and high inter-rater reliability with an ICC of 0.830 (faculty raters) and 0.89 (peer observer raters). Conclusion The Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Form is a Reliable method of assessing the communication skills of multidisciplinary learners using multi-rater methods within the learning environment. Practice implications The Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Form can be used by educational programs that wish to implement a Reliable Assessment and feedback system for a variety of learners.

  • heap Reliable Assessment of bgp hijacking attacks
    arXiv: Networking and Internet Architecture, 2016
    Co-Authors: Johann Schlamp, Georg Carle, Ralph Holz, Quentin Jacquemart, Ernst W Biersack
    Abstract:

    The detection of BGP prefix hijacking attacks has been the focus of research for more than a decade. However, state-of-the-art techniques fall short of detecting more elaborate types of attack. To study such attacks, we devise a novel formalization of Internet routing, and apply this model to routing anomalies in order to establish a comprehensive attacker model. We use this model to precisely classify attacks and to evaluate their impact and detectability. We analyze the eligibility of attack tactics that suit an attacker's goals and demonstrate that related work mostly focuses on less impactful kinds of attacks. We further propose, implement and test the Hijacking Event Analysis Program (HEAP), a new approach to investigate hijacking alarms. Our approachis designed to seamlessly integrate with previous work in order to reduce the high rates of false alarms inherent to these techniques. We leverage several unique data sources that can reliably disprove malicious intent. First, we make use of an Internet Routing Registry to derive business or organisational relationships between the parties involved in an event. Second, we use a topology-based reasoning algorithm to rule out events caused by legitimate operational practice. Finally, we use Internet-wide network scans to identify SSL/TLS-enabled hosts, which helps to identify non-malicious events by comparing public keys prior to and during an event. In our evaluation, we prove the effectiveness of our approach, and show that day-to-day routing anomalies are harmless for the most part. More importantly, we use HEAP to assess the validity of publicly reported alarms. We invite researchers to interface with HEAP in order to cross-check and narrow down their hijacking alerts.
