The Relationship Of A Pilot's Educational Background, Aeronautical Experience And Recency Of Experience To Performance In Initial Training At A Regional Airline, Nancy Shane

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine how a pilot’s educational background, aeronautical experience and recency of experience relate to their performance during initial training at a regional airline. Results show that variables in pilots’ educational background, aeronautical experience and recency of experience do predict performance in training. The most significant predictors include years since graduation from college, multi-engine time, total time and whether or not a pilot had military flying experience. Due to the pilot shortage, the pilots entering regional airline training classes since August 2013 have varied backgrounds, aeronautical experience and recency of experience. As explained by …

Examining The Relationship Between Academic Integrity And Moral Reasoning Among Physical Therapy Students, Gary Dean Schindler

Theses and Dissertations

According to research conducted from 2002-1012 by the International Center for Academic Integrity, 43% of graduate and 68% of undergraduate students admitted to cheating on written assignments or tests. However, minimal research exists on physical therapy (PT) students’ perceptions of academic dishonesty. Moral reasoning has been investigated throughout medical programs with PT students having displayed lower levels than other professional students. However, no studies investigating the relationship between academic integrity and moral reasoning in PT students exist. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate moral reasoning and academic integrity among PT students.

Measuring Change In Pm2.5 Emissions As Nextgen Operational Procedures Are Implemented At Large U.S. Airports, Demerise Eileen Tighe

Theses and Dissertations

The aviation industry is a contributing source of particulate matter (PM), a pollutant known to negatively impact human health. The NextGen program has a focus on reducing aviation fuel burn. Since PM is a direct byproduct of jet fuel combustion, this study evaluated whether the operational procedures implemented as a part of NextGen can be correlated with measurable reductions in PM emissions. Recorded PM, number of aircraft operations, and annual average daily road traffic data from 2008-2012 were collected from a selection of seven U.S. metropolitan areas. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to see if any significant relationships …

Towards The Enhancement Of A Critical Cultural Paradigm In Health Communication: An Examination Of The Impact Of Paradigmatic Structures, Laura Elizabeth Arneson

Theses and Dissertations

In the field of Communication there are a wide variety of ways in which scholars can utilize theories to serve as epistemological frameworks in order to examine sociological structures. In this thesis, the subfield of Health Communication will be examined through a positivistic and critical cultural studies paradigm. This work will then examine underlying assumptions related to theoretical approaches in health communication.

With the primary argument of this work being that the dominant approaches in Healthcare Communication have been primarily rooted in positivism, this research study will attempt to show how this assumption continues to extend even into new digital …
