Different Immersion Temperature's Impact Upon Blood Pressure Of Individuals With Varied Sex And Age, Kasee Hildenbrand, Celestina Barbosa-Leiker, Daniel Melchior Nov 2012

Different Immersion Temperature's Impact Upon Blood Pressure Of Individuals With Varied Sex And Age, Kasee Hildenbrand, Celestina Barbosa-Leiker, Daniel Melchior

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Warm water immersion is known to have an effect on human cardiovascular function. This study examines how age (young = 18-30 years and older = 31-65 years) and sex influence changes in blood pressure due to submersion in different water temperatures. Fifty-eight individuals sat immersed to the neck in three different water temperature tanks. Blood pressure measurements (systolic/diastolic blood pressure [SBP/DBP], pulse pressure [PP] and heart rate [HR]) were collected every 6 minutes throughout the duration of the test. We observed significant between-group, within-group, and interaction effects for SBP, DBP, and HR. For PP, significant between-group, within-in group and interaction …


"The Impulse To Rescue": Rescue Altruism And The Challenge Of Saving The Rescuer, John Hemsley Pearn, Richard Charles Franklin Nov 2012

"The Impulse To Rescue": Rescue Altruism And The Challenge Of Saving The Rescuer, John Hemsley Pearn, Richard Charles Franklin

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Rescuers who drown sacrifice their lives so that another might live; these drowning deaths are a particular challenge to prevent. In this research from Australia and the literature, we dissect and discuss the elements of “rescue altruism.” This 18-year critical incident population study identified 103 victims who drowned while attempting a rescue. In 74% of cases the primary "victim" (rescuee) survived, 50% of rescuers were visitors not familiar with the water hazard; 67% of the drowned rescuers were related to the primary victim. None were professionally trained in aquatic rescue. We propose that rescue altruism is composed of (a) an …

Surf Bather Drowning Risk And Exposure-Related Factors Identified By An Expert Panel, Damian Morgan, Joan Ozanne-Smith Nov 2012

Surf Bather Drowning Risk And Exposure-Related Factors Identified By An Expert Panel, Damian Morgan, Joan Ozanne-Smith

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

In the absence of an established literature, identifying and quantifying surf bather drowning risk factors requires a clearly defined problem-focused research strategy. To initiate this strategy, nominal group technique (NGT) was used to identify and rank risk and water exposure-related factors based on consensus of an expert panel. The results identified, in order, level of experience (encompassing swimming ability in surf conditions), lack of local knowledge (encompassing awareness of surf hazards, including rip currents), and surf conditions (encompassing prevailing wave height and rip currents) as the three most influential surf bather drowning risk factors. Factors most influential on exposure to …

Comparison Of Union And Non-Union Bids On Ohio School Facilities Commission Construction Projects, Alan Atalah Oct 2012

Comparison Of Union And Non-Union Bids On Ohio School Facilities Commission Construction Projects, Alan Atalah

Construction Management Faculty Publications

In 1997, the Ohio senate passed Senate Bill 102 which established the Ohio School Facilities Commission as a separate agency to oversee the rebuilding projects of the public schools in Ohio. To lower the construction cost, the bill exempted construction contractors from paying prevailing wages on these projects based on the hypothesis that this exemption would save the Ohio tax payer 10.7%. Many other studies concluded that these savings would range from 1.5 to 26%. The purpose of this research was to investigate this hypothesis through the statistical analysis of 8093 bids received for the schools’ construction from the years …


Developmental Perspective Into Students' Contextualization Of Problem Solving, Jonathan Bostic, Sean Yee Oct 2012

Developmental Perspective Into Students' Contextualization Of Problem Solving, Jonathan Bostic, Sean Yee

School of Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications

The purpose of this paper is to investigate students’ contextualization of problem solving, not the problems. This study draws on the naturalistic paradigm and uses a developmental perspective to explore students’ representations and metaphors used during problem solving. Students of comparable abilities employed similar representations, tended to use analogous metaphors during problem solving, and perceived solutions as outside of a problem’s context.

Twenty-one studies on MIE in 2008-2011 were selected based on the selection criteria and analyzed to answer the following questions: (a) What types of research have been published on MIE? (b) How was microblogging used for teaching and learning in these studies? (c) What educational benefits did microblogging have on teaching and learning? and (d) What suggestions and implications did the current research have for future MIE research and practices? The analysis suggested …

Fulfilling The Promise Of Making A Difference: Creating Guards Of Life With Tpsr, Angela Kishaun Beale Aug 2012

Fulfilling The Promise Of Making A Difference: Creating Guards Of Life With Tpsr, Angela Kishaun Beale

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Consistently, the literature on minorities in aquatics identifies the challenges surrounding aquatic involvemen among minority populations. This same literature discusses the challenges of minority communities to provide affordable programs to combat these challenges. This reflective narrative describes a unique collaboration designed to provide high quality health and physical activity programs for youth in underserved communities. Health and physical activity professionals (HPE) strive to build collaborative relationships with community-based organizations (CBOs) and underserved school districts through educational experiences necessary for effective teaching and professional commitment. Project Guard: Make A Splash E.N.D. (End Needless Drowning) was one such program. Anchored in a …
