The Contribution Of Entrepreneurship Training Towards Perceived Emancipation Amongst Nascent Rural Female Entrepreneurs In Uganda, Sylvia Gavigan

Doctoral

Although the number of female entrepreneurs in Uganda is increasing, they still lack appropriate entrepreneurship training and access to resources for the efficient running of their entrepreneurial activities. Furthermore, the promotion of rural female entrepreneurship in Uganda is a critical strategy in the creation of businesses and the improvement of the household income for rural female entrepreneurs. This offers them greater levels of independence and a reduced reliance on governmental social support. However, relatively little is known regarding the impact of entrepreneurship training on perceived emancipation of rural female entrepreneurs in Uganda. In this thesis, mixed methods were used to …

Understanding International Immobility Through Internal Migration: ‘Left Behind’ Nurses In The Philippines, Yasmin Y. Ortiga, Romeo Luis A. Macabasag

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

Migration scholars have tended to portray internal mobility as a step toward broader cross-border movement, reinforcing the notion of ongoing progress toward international migration. This article argues for a need to recognize how internal mobility can also explain international immobility, or why people do not move across national borders. Using the case of Filipino nurses, we argue that while internal migration does allow aspiring migrants to build the potential ability to emigrate, individual trajectories are much more diverse and multi-directional, often prolonging or reinforcing their international immobility. As a result, and in our case study, the costs and burdens of …

The researchers administered Ho and Au's (2006) job satisfaction questionnaire and Maslach, Jackson, and Leiter's (1996) burnout questionnaire, containing 22 items each, to measure the teachers' job satisfaction and burnout levels, respectively. Having collected the quantitative data, the researchers interviewed 10 participants to find out the sources of teachers' job dissatisfaction …

Towards The Development Of A Framework For The Inclusion Of Peer Assessment In Irish Medical Science Undergraduate Education, Mary Mcgrath

Doctoral

Assessment of learning is integral to all programmes in Higher Education (HE). While one purpose of assessment is to confirm achievement of standards, another is to support student learning. When educational programmes adopt an assessment strategy that is inclusive of ‘assessment for learning’ the role of assessment supporting learning can be expanded and sustained more effectively. Peer Assessment (PA) is an example of an assessment approach that can support and enrich student learning. The advantages and benefits of PA are strongly established in the published literature.

This research study aimed to investigate and develop a framework for the inclusion of …

Estimating Trends Of Common Raven Populations In North America, 1966–2018, Seth M. Harju, Peter S. Coates, Seth J. Dettenmaier, Jonathan B. Dinkins, Pat J. Jackson, Michael P. Chenaille

Human–Wildlife Interactions

Over the last half century, common raven (Corvus corax; raven) populations have increased in abundance across much of North America. Ravens are generalist predators known to depredate the eggs and young of several sensitive species. Quantifying raven population increases at multiple spatial scales across North America will help wildlife resource managers identify areas where population increases present the greatest risk to species conservation. We used a hierarchical Bayesian modeling approach to analyze trends of standardized raven counts from 1966 to 2018 using Breeding Bird Survey data within each Level I and II ecoregion of the United States and Canada. …

Thinking Like A Raven: Restoring Integrity, Stability, And Beauty To Western Ecosystems, John M. Marzluff, Matthias-Claudio Loretto, Cameron K. Ho, Georgia W. Coleman, Marco Restani

Human–Wildlife Interactions

Common ravens (Corvus corax; ravens) are generalist predators that pose a threat to several rare wildlife species in the western United States. Recent increases in raven populations, which are fueled by increased human subsidies—notably food, water, and nest sites—are concerning to those seeking to conserve rare species. Due to the challenges and inefficiencies of reducing or eliminating subsidies, managers increasingly rely on lethal removal of ravens. Over 125,000 ravens were killed by the U.S. Government from 1996 to 2019, and annual removals have increased 4-fold from the 1990s to mid-2010s. We contend that lethal removal of ravens, while capable …

Dental Impression Tray Selection From Maxillary Arch Images Using Multi-Feature Fusion And Ensemble Classifier, Muhammad Asif Hasan, Norli Anida Abdullah, Mohammad Mustaneer Rahman, Mohd Yamani Idna Idris, Omar F. Tawfiq

Research Publications (2021 to 2025)

Dental impression tray is frequently used in dentistry to record the patient's oral structure for clinical oral diagnosis and treatment planning. Manual procedure of taking impressions is costly, time-consuming, and additionally, no research has been done on selecting dental impression tray from dental arch images using computer vision in real-life scenarios. In this spirit, an intelligent model is proposed based on computer vision and machine learning to select appropriate dental impression trays from maxillary arch images. A dataset of 52 patients' maxillary arch images have been acquired and various sets of features such as colors, textures, and shapes of the …

Online Support-Provision In The Self-Disclosure Of Eating Disorders, Nur Azwin Zulkarnain, Jariah Mohd Jan, Ridwan Wahid

Research Publications (2021 to 2025)

This paper highlights the importance of appropriate communication with individuals who suffer from eating disorders (ED). The negative perception that society has towards ED often leads its patients to conceal their problems and avoid seeking help (Perveen et al., 2017). Understanding the manners in which support-providers approach ED patients in order to eliminate the fear is therefore important. Data was collected from the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) website from January to March 2018, where support-providers' responses to posts of self-disclosure were qualitatively analyzed through computer-mediated discourse analysis (CMDA) using McCormack's (2010) Categories of Social Support and Blum-Kulka and Olshtain's …

Importance Of Low-Relief Nursery Habitat For Reef Fishes, Michael A. Dance, Ray R. Rooker, Richard Kline, Antonietta Quigg, Gregory R. Stunz, R. J. David Wells, Kirsten Lara, Jessica Lee, Bobbie Suarez

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Coastal restoration projects to mitigate environmental impacts have increased global demand for sand resources. Unfortunately, these resources are often extracted from sand/shell banks on the inner continental shelf, resulting in significant alteration or loss of low-relief reefs in coastal oceans. Experimental reefs (oyster shell, limestone rubble, composite) were deployed in the western Gulf of Mexico to assess their potential value as nurseries for newly settled reef fishes. Occurrence, abundance, and species richness of juvenile fishes were significantly higher on all three types of low-relief reefs compared with unconsolidated sediment. Moreover, reefs served as nursery habitat for a range of reef …

Refreshment On The Rails: The Law Of Food And Beverage Aboard America's Trains, Adrian Untermyer

Transportation Law Journal

During the golden years of American railroading, passengers could devour lobster salad sandwiches in the dining car and craft cocktails at the bar. But when planes largely replaced trains, fine dining and imbibing on the rails became as rare as a steam locomotive - and the law governing railroad food and beverage remained tangled in a forgotten, complex, and often contradictory jurisdictional thicket.

With passenger railroads now key to tackling climate change, congestion, and sprawl, fine refreshments could help lure Americans back to the rails once more. Therefore, this Article seeks to answer the question ""Who exactly regulates America's railroad …
