Nutrition Assistance Programs And Pediatric Weight Outcomes: A Systematic Review, Dan Ferris, Genevieve Davison, Tyler Frank, Amanda Gilbert, Fanice Thomas, Sydney Rothman, Kim Lipsey, Sarah Moreland-Russell

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Food insecurity and pediatric obesity have increased concurrently in the U.S., raising questions about the role of Federal Nutrition Assistance Programs (FNAPs) in shaping weight outcomes. This systematic review examined evidence on relationships between FNAP participation and pediatric weight outcomes.

METHODS: Six databases were searched for U.S.-based, peer-reviewed studies published through July 2024 that assessed FNAP participation and pediatric weight outcomes.

RESULTS: Seventy-five studies met the inclusion criteria, and no consistent pattern indicated that any single FNAP or program type (educational setting-based or direct financial support) reliably reduced or increased childhood overweight or obesity risk. Twenty studies found statistically …

Derivation From Underived Nouns Between Theory And Practice A Morphological And Semantic Study, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullah Ahmed Al-Zein

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

Derivation is deemed one of the most significant sources for enriching and expanding the vocabulary of Arabic language. Arabs derive words not only from verbal roots but also from underived nouns—such as nouns of meaning, time, entities, and sounds. This study aims to present the opinions of linguists regarding derivation from underived nouns, in addition to examining the practical reality of this phenomenon through evidence from Arabic dictionaries and linguistic works, which confirm or prohibit permissibility thereof. The researcher adopts the descriptive method,. The study concludes that derivation from underived nouns is based on unwriten precedents, and due to the …

The Image Of The Father In The Autobiography Of Saleh Al-Ghufaili A Psychological Narrative Study, Mohammed Bin Khalifa Bin Battah Al-Khazzi

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

This study examines the image of the father in Saleh Al-Ghufeili’s autobiography “My Life Journey” through a psycho-narrative lens. It employs tools from modern psychological theory—particularly Freud’s view that literary texts are largely emotional products shaped by unconscious stimuli—alongside narrative techniques to trace and interpret the father’s representation and its explicit and implicit meanings. The father’s image emerges as complex and psychologically charged. The narrator appears torn between an unconscious urge to settle unresolved conflicts with his father and a conscious attempt to construct an idealized paternal figure. However, this idealized image collapses when confronted with the contradictory, textually revealed …

Al-Marrār Ibn Munqidh Al-ʿAdawī’S Mīmiyyah: A Study In Imagery And Intertextuality, Tami Bin Dughaylib Al-Shamrānī

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

This study explores two key stylistic features in Al-Marrār ibn Munqidh al-ʿAdawī’s’ poem: poetic imagery and intertextuality, as they form the main structural and aesthetic basis of the poem. It highlights their psychological and artistic connotations through a descriptive-analytical and stylistic approach that examines the poem’s expressive and aesthetic aspects. The study includes an introduction outlining the problem, aims, method, and previous studies, followed by two sections: the first section analyzes the artistic image, its forms and meanings; the second section discusses intertextuality with earlier Arabic poetry and its influence on meaning. The conclusion shows that Al-Marrār used simile to …

The Memory Of Place In Saudi Short Stories And Sketch Drawing, Dr. Ibrahim Bin Sarawi Ahmed Asiri

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

This study examines the “Memory of Place” as a manifestation of creative memory in the Saudi short story and visual arts through a semiotic approach integrating Lotman’s concepts and Peirce’s triadic model. It explores how place transcends geographical boundaries to become an “active semantic structure” and cultural sign that reproduces collective identity. The analysis reveals a shared rural “Semiosphere” between narrative and image, where meanings intersect to form a unified creative memory that reinterprets heritage amidst modern urbanization. The study concludes that the synergy between linguistic and visual media preserves spatial memory and reinforces the cultural presence of the Saudi …

Portfolio Performance Evaluation Benchmark: A Note

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Jones and Swaleheen (2014, this journal) examine the performance of an equity portfolio in a student managed investment fund and document the outperformance of the portfolio relative to the S&P 500 index on an absolute basis. We show that the apparent outperformance of the portfolio is due to using the index without its dividend component. Once we use the S&P 500 total return as the benchmark, the outperformance of the equity portfolio disappears. We explain why the S&P 500 total return should be used in this case, and propose and justify two alternative proxies for the S&P 500 total return.

Dysfunctional Interpersonal Communication In Professional Contexts, Ayoub Dehbi

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

In this article, we have presented an overview of the communication process, formulated a definition of communication and examined its central elements: process, transaction, symbols and (shared) meaning. We also examined the debate on intentionality. We briefly reviewed the history of the field of communication to understand how its diverse origins in rhetoric, psychology and elocution support the diversity we find in the field today. As communication is not always positive, the ways in which it can be destructive were noted. Finally, because of these destructive results, communication can never be discussed without an examination of ethics and, therefore, three …

Gender-Based Trading: Evidence From A Classroom Experiment

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Is there a difference in the trading behavior of men and women? The question stems from research suggesting that men tend to be more overconfident than women, trade more and earn lower portfolio returns. Moreover, men appear to be less risk-averse than women. We present evidence from a student investment market simulation, Stock-Trak©, conducted in an upper division college finance course

Using Sports To Teach Finance And Economics

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Sustaining student interest in economics and finance is often a challenging task. One way to generate interest is through the use of examples that are interesting and relevant to the students. Sports provide many examples of finance and economics principles. In this paper, we provide seven sports examples that can be used to demonstrate various topics in and out of the classroom. These examples can be used either to introduce material or to assist more advanced students in gaining a deeper understanding of the subject matter. The examples have the additional benefit of providing memorable allegories to the business world.

A Note On Animating Financial Equations With Scientific Notebook®

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Students of finance are often challenged to understand how financial equations respond to changes in key variables. All too often, the pedagogy offered these students includes usage of static graphs. Although there is a plethora of research in other disciplines showing animation provides superior learning outcomes compared to static images, the use of animation to illustrate financial relationships has received little attention in the financial education literature. This paper and the animations shown on the www.financeanimations.com website demonstrate Scientific Notebook’s ® ability to animate equations commonly taught in university introductory finance courses.

Using Microsoft Corporation To Demonstrate The Optimal Capital Structure Trade-Off Theory

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

In this paper, we apply the trade-off theory of capital structure to Microsoft. We use data for bond ratings, bond risk premiums, and levered CAPM betas to compute the cost of equity and the weighted average cost of capital for Microsoft at different debt levels. This study shows the impact of increasing financial leverage on WACC. As financial leverage increases, the WACC decreases until the optimal debt ratio is reached, after which, the WACC begins to rise. At this debt ratio, the value of Microsoft will be maximized. Our results indicate the optimal debt ratio for Microsoft is 37.5 percent.
