Predictive Test To Know The Level Of Speed Elongation And The Achievement Of Running 1500 Meters, Shaker Mahmoud Al-Sheikhli, Amer Fakhir, Israa Fouad Saleh

Therefore, they serve as evaluative tools for the physical, skillful, and psychological aspects of our athletes and teams by identifying correct treatments and solutions to avoid many shortcomings that coaches may encounter during training or when designing …

Handball Individual Defense Technical Performance Effectiveness Evaluation, Saad Mohsen Ismail, Mahmoud Mousa Al-Oqaili Dec 2006

Handball Individual Defense Technical Performance Effectiveness Evaluation, Saad Mohsen Ismail, Mahmoud Mousa Al-Oqaili

Modern Sport

In competitive sports involving physical contact and the pursuit of scoring goals, both defense and offense hold equal importance for achieving victory. Specialists emphasize that teams whose members excel in defensive skills enhance the quality and appeal of the game. Unfortunately, defensive actions are often followed by spectators without much enthusiasm, and players usually see the defensive zone as a rest area after intense, aggressive attacks. Additionally, if a defender feels that committing a foul—whether obvious or subtle—will not result in a strict penalty, they may lack motivation to exert effort in training to master defensive skills. This is especially …

Dancing Through Film Musicals: Narratives In Motion, Dara Phillips

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to discover if and how dance communicates vital plot and character information nonverbally. The example analyzed was the film Singin’ in the Rain. This thesis examined the six dance sequences in the film to determine if the dancing is an integral, powerful, and significant communicative addition to the film. Walter Fisher’s Narrative Paradigm was used in conjunction with Seymour Chatman’s concept of kernels and satellites to determine if the dances communicated significantly to the film’s viewers. The Narrative Paradigm, though loosely framed, provided the concepts of coherence and fidelity. These concepts helped determine if …

Lehmann Family Of Roc Curves, Mithat Gonen, Glenn Heller Dec 2006

Lehmann Family Of Roc Curves, Mithat Gonen, Glenn Heller

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Dept. of Epidemiology & Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are useful in evaluating the ability of a continuous marker in discriminating between the two states of a binary outcome such as diseased/not diseased. The most popular parametric model for an ROC curve is the binormal model which assumes that the marker is normally distributed conditional on the outcome. Here we present an alternative to the binormal model based on the Lehmann family, also known as the proportional hazards specification. The resulting ROC curve and its functionals (such as the area under the curve) have simple analytic forms. We derive closed-form expressions for the asymptotic …

Review Essay: Excuse Theory Through A Liberal Lens, Richard C. Boldt Dec 2006

Review Essay: Excuse Theory Through A Liberal Lens, Richard C. Boldt

Faculty Scholarship

This essay reviews Excusing Crime, by Jeremy Horder, Reader in Criminal Law and Tutor in Law at Worcester College, Oxford. It describes Horder’s project, which is to build a complex taxonomy of criminal law excuse practices and to use that account of “why things are as they are” to argue, on the basis of his version of liberal theory, against “the restricted range” of excuses in the UK and elsewhere. By virtue of his appreciation that some, but not all, excuses contain justificatory elements, and given his insistence that pure claims of non-responsibility are not excuses, Horder has defined a …
