This study sought to determine the relationship of the volleyball pass, the repeated wall volleys, and volleyball playing ability, as measured by a panel of four judges, using 120 eleventh grade girls enrolled in physical education classes at Odessa High School, Odessa, Texas, for the Fall semester of 1967.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between certain personality characteristics and achievement of slow learning children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among the need to achieve, field independence, and grade-point average.

The purpose of this project was to design a package to train ninth-grade students in basic interpersonal communication awareness and skills.

"First and foremost in the drama of education is the social scene in which it is enacted. The school is in the midst of all the elements of this scene--the soil and climate; the land, the streams, minerals and timber; the people, black and white; their homes, farms, factories, shops and roads; their work and plan; their houses and gardens; their food and clothing; their churches, amusements and folk-ways; their government; their problems of disease and crime; their poverty, their wealth; their vanishing natural resources; their economic uncertainty; their insecurity of position of place; their joys and sorrows; their children and anxieties for the future." Unless the school is viewed in its relationship to these factors in the social situation, no adequate conception of its task can be gained. The relative importance of the school as a directive agency amid such forces of the culture will depend upon the way in which education conceives its function, organizes and executes its program. Certainly the school cannot be indifferent to the world from which its pupils come each morning and to which they return each evening. Because the writer firmly believes in the preceding statements, it was considered essential to secure information regarding the social and economic conditions of the pupils in her first-grade group of the Chipley Elementary Public School so that an improved and enriched school program may be developed based upon the pupils' and the community's needs. / Typescript. / "July, 1949." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Advisor: R.

School maladjustment incidence studies estimate that thirty percent of American school children experience school adaptation problems and that about ten percent need immediate clinical attention. (Glidewell, 1969) Various labels, including school maladjustment, school maladaptation, school dysfunction, soclo-emotional disorders and emotional disturbance have been used more or less interchangeably in current research to refer to this thirty percent of the school population. A leading researcher in the field, Emory L. Cowen, considers children to be "maladapted when they are unable, because of prior history and personal qualities or skill deficiencies, to cope with the educational or behavioral demands that the school environment places on them." (Cowen, 1971a) The development of accurate and economical procedures for the early identification of school maladaptation has become the goal of many mental health specialists and educators. Most often emphasis is placed on the need to make more efficient use of the limited mental health facilities available to the school systems. But in addition to case finding and treatment, Initial prevention of school maladaptatlon has been proposed as a long range goal for educational systems. As Cowen points out, the mental health approach requires that we move away from "near exclusive emphasis on repairing rooted dysfunction in favor of exploring programs designed to prevent disorder." (Cowen, 1973).

Installation of low-grade weirs in agricultural drainage ditches is being evaluated as an innovative, and cost effective, management practice that decreases nutrient concentrations and loads by increasing water volume and hydraulic residence time of the ditch. Results revealed that weirs significantly increased (P = 0.029) hydraulic residence time (HRT) and ditch water volumes, leading to considerable reductions in outflow water volumes (61%). Furthermore, ditches with weirs achieved greater (P = 0.09) cumulative outflow load reductions (96%) and greater (P = 0.029) concentration reductions during the biogeochemical reduction phase of the experiment. Similarly, field research from Terrace Ditch in Yazoo County, MS yielded significant percentage concentration reductions for baseflow (53%), stormflow (63%), and load (65%). Results from the experimental approach and field scale research offer promising insight into the future of low-grade weir’s establishment as an additional best management practice in agricultural landscapes.

The purpose of the study was to develop, implement, and evaluate a learning center for arts education in a third grade classroom. Specifically, the learning center was designed to increase opportunities for arts education in an elementary classroom, to emphasize the unity of the arts by offering parallel instruction in several art media, and to provide a resource for arts instruction which would not require direct teacher supervision, Arts included in the study were visual art, music, and movement.

Essential Medicine Lists (EMLs) are important for the prioritization and availability of medicines around the world. Since the first Model List of Essential Medicines (MLEM) from the World Health Organization in 1977, the list has expanded from 208 to 479 medicines. The availability of essential medicines is a key priority under the World Health Organization’s Universal Health Coverage agenda & the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (in particular goal 3.8 Coverage of Essential Health Services). EMLs are an important tool to inform health decisions at a country-level and at least 137 countries now have their own national EML. Despite this, there is wide variability in the methods used to develop them, and the certainty of evidence of medicines included on WHO’s MLEM and national EMLs. Additionally, a lack of coordination may result in time delays in updating EMLs or unnecessary duplication of efforts between EMLs and other evidence synthesis and health decision-making paradigms, such as health guidelines. In this thesis, we seek to understand the decision-making process for EMLs with particular focus on WHO’s MLEM, and to identify and advance opportunities to coordinate their development with health guidelines. This is accomplished through three papers, which build upon each other in this sandwich thesis. Paper 1 is a qualitative interview study with EML and guideline stakeholders to better understand decision-criteria and processes in EMLs. Paper 2 evaluates, using user-experience testing, a framework for the connection of guidelines and EMLs using an Evidence-to-Decision (EtD) framework for EMLs. Paper 3 presents a stakeholder-driven Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group concept paper exploring the conceptual challenges and opportunities of linking guidelines and EMLs using case studies on real-world implementation of this connection. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / Medicines are important for treating health conditions, and the most important medicines are called essential medicines. Essential Medicine Lists (EMLs) are created to determine what should be considered an essential medicine around the world, and also to ensure people have access to them. The number of medicines on the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential Medicines (MLEM) has grown since it was first released, but these medicines aren’t always available to treat people who need them. Sometimes medicines that are not the most important are included on national essential medicine lists. The way that the WHO EML and national EMLs are made has been under review and criticized. Health guidelines tell people how medicines should be used, however, the connection between EMLs and health guidelines is not always consistent. Sometimes they may say different things about the same medicine. Additionally, there are differences in how EMLs and guidelines are established, and those involved do not always work with each other. In this thesis, I try to understand how decisions about which medicines are included in EMLs are made, and how they connect to health guidelines. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the topic. Chapter 2 asks experts about the decision-making process for EMLs. In chapter 3, we change a tool for guidelines to help connect guideline and EML decisions and ask for feedback regarding improvements. Chapter 4 presents the work with a group of guideline experts to present problems and suggest ways to overcome them to make EMLs and health guidelines better connected.
