The Value Premium, Aggregate Risk Innovations, And Average Stock Returns, Knut F. Lindaas, Prodosh Simlai

Economics & Finance Faculty Publications

We test whether innovations in aggregate risk, interpolated from a vector autoregressive system that contains the Chen, Roll and Ross (1986) five factors as in Petkova (2006), are common factors in cross-sectional stock returns. We provide direct evidence that innovation in industrial production growth, a classical business-cycle variable that summarizes the state of the economy, is associated with the cross-sectional return predictability of individual stocks. We conclude that the role of innovation in aggregate risk is not random, and furthermore that it provides guidance concerning an important source of nonfinancial market-based risk in asset returns.

Amiodarone Induced Phlebitis, Jill Snyder

Theses and Dissertations

Amiodarone is a commonly used antiarrhythmic medication. When administered through a peripheral intravenous catheter, Amiodarone is associated with a high risk of phlebitis. Phlebitis is characterized by inflammation, swelling, redness, and pain at the vascular point of access and along the vascular route of administration. Phlebitis can cause a delay of treatment, infection, and prolonged hospital stays. A central line is the preferred IV administration route for Amiodarone due to its potential effects of vein irritation. Often times Amiodarone is administered in an emergent setting where attaining a central line is not feasible. Therefore, peripheral IV administration is routinely used …

Increasing Influenza Vaccination Rates Within The Veteran Population, Bernadette R. Gomez

Theses and Dissertations

This paper explores the best methods to increase vaccination rates in the Veteran population. The Veteran community is comprised of the young and old, both female and male, and individuals with a healthy or unhealthy status. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Healthy People 2020 were sites utilized, retrieving data and statistics to emphasize the need for this annual vaccination. This information iterates the need for complete compliance from every Veteran. PubMed and Cinahl allowed for a literature review of previously studied populations. This review led to a multifaceted, multi-professional approach to increasing vaccination rates among populations examined. …

Ageism And Experience Bias In Employment Interviews, Dustin Grant Williams

Theses and Dissertations

The present study explored the effects of employment interviewee's age and work experience on hiring manager's recommendations to hire. It was hypothesized that interviewees who were older and therefore had more work experience would receive significantly fewer recommendations to be hired than interviewees with less experience and therefore younger. Furthermore, it was proposed that hiring managers with higher ageist attitudes, as measured by the Fraboni Scale of Ageism, would be less likely to recommend older interviewees with extensive years of work experience be hired than younger interviewees with less work experience. The population was comprised of employment hiring manager from …

Qualitative Case Study Of Parental Perspectives On Education Among A Midwest Native American Reservation And English Traveller Community, Cheri Francine Poitra

Theses and Dissertations

This qualitative study explored the perceptions of four Native American mothers and one English Traveller parent regarding their children's educational experiences. A comparative case study was used with a qualitative approach that presented a framework for international comparative studies in education, which can be helpful in better understanding and meeting the needs of all learners from culturally diverse backgrounds. The case study identified the relationship between two very different cultures, schools, and demographical areas with many common similarities. Some of the most serious problems confronting Native American and Traveller children are low academic achievement, a high percentage of students identified …

A Description And Analysis Of Four Metarepresentation Markers Of Indus Kohistani, Beate Lubberger

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis describes and analyzes four markers of Indus Kohistani, a language spoken in Northern Pakistan that has received little attention so far. The markers discussed are lee, a "hearsay" evidential that does however not mark every reported speech, karee, a grammaticalized quotative and complementizer that is also found in purpose and reason clauses, in naming and in similarity constructions, če, a complementizer borrowed from Pashto, and loo, a marker that indicates utterances a speaker wishes her audience to convey to a third party.

Relevance Theory, an inferential theory of communication, distinguishes between utterances that are …

Placing Wardak Among Pashto Varieties, Dennis Walter Coyle

Theses and Dissertations

Wardak is one variety of the Pashto language. Most of its approximate one million speakers live in Wardak Province, which is just south of the capital city, Kabul, of Afghanistan. While all Wardaks think of themselves as Pashtun, the Wardak speech variety is considered different from other Pashto varieties. Is Wardak a dialect of Pashto, or is there evidence for it being a variety separate from Pashto? Pashto has been developed with an alphabet going back four hundred years and an extensive literature, which includes an education curriculum that is taught in the primary schools. Does the existing literature and …

Burnout In Applied Behvior Analysis Tutors: The Role Of Personality, Stress, And Affectivity, Lindsay A. Deling

Theses and Dissertations

Using an individual and dispositional approach, the current study examined the relationship between personality (as conceptualized using the Big Five personality variables) and burnout when accounting for the stress and affectivity as mediators. Participants included 152 (140 females, 92.1%) Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) tutors ages 20-63 (M = 27.84, SD = 6.48) who worked with children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders and who spent the majority of their work hours each week in a center-based ABA program. Participants across the United States completed the survey online, while one autism center located in the Midwest completed the survey in-person with …
