Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Although the theory of decision making under uncertainty has been extensively studied for a half century, applications to business applications are relatively rare. This study frames a systematic risk analysis and applies the technique to the finances of private colleges and universities. It begins by constructing budgets for colleges and universities and then analyzes the major economic factors affecting those budgets. It estimates the variability (or unpredictability) associated with each major external variable from historical data and from economic forecasts. The study finds that government-spending risks outweigh all other external stock market, interest rates, inflation, and wage trends. The paper …

A Cost Benefit Study Of Clinical Education In An Entry-Level Master’S Degree Program In Physical Therapy., Risa A. Granick

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The costs associated with clinical education in physical therapy and other health professions have been debated by educational and hospital administrators in recent years. The assumption has been that these programs incur a cost to the clinical facility. To date, the physical therapy literature has been limited in cost-benefit studies with no definitive conclusions. This study examined the costs of Clinical education in a selective entry-level master's degree program in physical therapy to determine what monetary costs and benefits accrue to clinical affiliation sites and what factors are related to the monetary costs or benefits of clinical education.

Moving Into Management From The Outside, Lynn Wishart

Library Staff Articles

When accepting a promotion from outside the organization, the new manager must understand what is being given up and left behind, and must also realize clearly what expectations the new library holds. In the new position, the outside manager must articulate goals and find common ground with supervisors and subordinates. The take-charge period should be used for judicious decision making and intense learning.

Improving Social Studies Achievement: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Lindalee Kaminski

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

A high percentage of students in a second grade class with low socio-economic characteristics demonstrated exceptionally low achievement in social studies. The problem was addressed by the implementation of an interdisciplinary program to increase basic skills in all areas of the curriculum. Activities designed to increase the target group's understanding of social studies concepts while practicing skills in reading, language arts, math, and science were incorporated into all subject areas utilizing a whole language approach. An emphasis on critical thinking and daily news events allowed for student growth in inferential comprehension and the formation of attitudes about the world. The …

Parenting Style And Family Environment Of Caucasian-American Versus Malaysian Families, James Eric Davison

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study sought to determine whether functional Malaysian families differed from functional Caucasian-American families in family environment, parenting style, and marital adjustment, in terms of behavior-rating measures of family problem-solving and self-report measures of family environment and marital adjustment. Variables for the sample of 38 families were assessed using the Family Problem-Solving Behavior Coding System, the Problem-Solving Efficiency Scale, the Beavers-Timberlawn Family Evaluation Scale, the Family Environment Scale, and the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test. Significance was determined by comparing ratings between Malaysian and American families. Malaysian and Caucasian-American families were not significantly different regarding parenting style and family environment variables. …

Equal Protection- The Social Dimension Of European Community Law, T. Koopmans

Michigan Journal of International Law

There are two reasons for drawing attention to the social dimension of European Community law. First, the EEC treaty comprises different provisions on social policy whose importance is consistently underestimated: the treaty is often considered as merely establishing a "common market" and as only concerning economic problems. This approach is prominent in the United States, where the business world is primarily interested in trade with, and within, the common market, and where much literature is devoted to this subject. Second, the social provisions of the EEC treaty have given rise to an interesting evolution in the case law of the …

Social Learning Therapy For Families With Aggressive Boys: Individual Family Versus Parent-Group Treatment, H. Alan Reid

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the effectiveness of a time-limited, parent group therapy model for reducing aggressive and disruptive behavior in seven- to thirteen-year-old boys. Comparative differences between an individual counseling versus a parent group implementation of a social learning family counseling model were studied. Twenty families completed the parent group treatment program offered by the Family Therapy Project at Indiana State University. These families completed pre- and post-treatment assessments in order to determine treatment gains in the areas of child behavior, family environment/relationships, family problem-solving abilities, and marital adjustment/satisfaction. These treatment results were then statistically compared using an analysis of covariance …

The Church, The State, And The Eha: Educating The Handicapped In Light Of The Establishment Clause, Thomas F. Guernsey, M. Grey Sweeney

Law Faculty Publications

All parents have the basic right to guide the educational future of their children. Prior to the 1970s, however, it was not unusual for the parents of a handicapped child to find it difficult, if not impossible, to provide their child with a genuine opportunity to learn. Despite the Supreme Court's proclamation in 1954 that education, "where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms," handicapped children were routinely excluded from public education or segregated within it. Congress, responding to the increasingly vocal call for equal education, took …

Readability Of Mass Mailing Written Material Produced At The County Level Of The Alabama Cooperative Extension Service., Earl Crawford Johnson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The objectives of this study were to assess the readability of the mass mailing written material produced at the county level of the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service, and to determine the variance in readability explained by selected variables. A mail questionnaire to 100 randomly selected county agents was used, with a 98% response rate. Readability of agents' mass mailing written material was assessed using the Fry Readability Graph. Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were calculated. Stepwise multiple regression at the.05 level was used to develop a model which explained readability of material. Findings indicated that respondents spent about six hours …

The Lactate Threshold And Carbon Dioxide Flow To The Lung As Predictors Of Ventilation During Exercise., Becky Anne Baker

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Three studies were performed to determine the relationship between blood lactate, CO$\sb2$ flow to the lung, and ventilation during exercise. First, the method of determining the lactate threshold by use of log-log and semilog transformations developed by Beaver and his colleagues was modified to provide an objective method of determining the threshold which resulted in a significantly better fit (p $<$.05) of the log-log model to the data. Second, to test the theory that the increase in CO$\sb2$ flow to the lung due to bicarbonate buffering of H+ from lactic acid causes the rise in ventilation out of proportion to VO$\sb2$ at the ventilatory threshold, the lactate thresholds of these subjects were used to predict their ventilatory thresholds. The lactate threshold determined by the modified log-log model/method was a poor predictor with an insignificant relationship between the lactate and ventilatory thresholds (p $>$.05). In the third study, six subjects were tested during 4 sessions to determine the relationship between ventilation and CO$\sb2$ flow to the lung during exercise and also during rest and exercise while CO$\sb2$ was being inhaled. This relationship …
