Human Capital In The Knowledge Economy : A 3-Country Case Study In Healthcare, James Scott Mccallum
Human Capital In The Knowledge Economy : A 3-Country Case Study In Healthcare, James Scott Mccallum
Theses and Dissertations
During the present knowledge economy there appear to be labor shortages at the same time and in the same regions in which there is an excess of labor supply. Such a pattern would run counter to previous major economic disruptions, as well as questioning traditional free market economic theory of supply and demand principles. Implications for policy where there are global labor shortages along with surplus labor availability in a market economy, are significant. It will likely indicate a drag on economic growth for business sectors, for regions and perhaps globally. It would indicate an accompanying growing disparity of income. …
The Food Police: Food Stamps, Surveillance, And The Construction Of The Undeserving Hungry, Renee Renee Scampini
The Food Police: Food Stamps, Surveillance, And The Construction Of The Undeserving Hungry, Renee Renee Scampini
Theses and Dissertations
Hunger in America is produced through broader social and economic inequality and patterns of hunger are unevenly distributed across places and social groups. While 10.5% of all U.S. households experienced hunger, Black households, Latino households, households with children headed by either a single woman or a single man, and households in poverty faced substantially higher rates of hunger in 2019 (Coleman-Jensen et al. 2020). The Food Stamp Program (FSP), now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is the largest hunger relief program in the U.S. Acknowledging the racialized and gendered patterns of hunger in the U.S. is central to …
Exploring Predictive Factors Of Air Force Servicewomen's Retention, Christine Kmiecik
Exploring Predictive Factors Of Air Force Servicewomen's Retention, Christine Kmiecik
Theses and Dissertations
Military women’s retention is an ongoing organizational challenge. In the U.S. Air Force, the target service for this study, women currently account for 20% of all personnel, but across all services they are retained at a rate five to ten percent lower than males. A related issue is dual-military marriages, and 11% of all active-duty Airmen, regardless of gender, are married to another service member. Almost 54% of married female Airmen are in a dual-military marriage, compared to 13% of married male Airmen. Unlike non-dual-military marriages, retention of dual-military servicemembers significantly decreases after ten years in service. This study seeks …
Development Of A Cloud-Based Traffic Diagnosis And Management Laboratory Based On High-Coverage Alpr, Weijie Tan
Development Of A Cloud-Based Traffic Diagnosis And Management Laboratory Based On High-Coverage Alpr, Weijie Tan
Theses and Dissertations
As the traffic volume in urban areas continues to increase, traffic congestion results in longer travel time, lower reliability, and larger energy consumption. Traffic diagnosis and management strategies are generally considered the most cost-efficient approaches to reduce traffic congestion. Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) is one of the most valuable data sources for traffic diagnosis and management. It outperforms many traditional methods of traffic data collection in terms of cost and accuracy. Many cities have deployed their ALRP systems in the past two decades. In those cities, traffic networks are highly covered by ALPRs. ALPRs produce a tremendous amount of …
