A recruiting analysis for the Kansas State College of Engineering: the financial perspectiveDraheim, Jonathan January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science / Kimberly W. Kramer / This report, “A Recruiting Analysis for the Kansas State College of Engineering: The Financial
Prospective,” is an initial baseline report that measures the effectiveness of KSU COE recruiting.
This analysis examines the financial factor, or how students pay for their education.
Specifically, the report examines the current students in the KSU COE and how they pay for
their education and then compares the information to how college students pay for their
education on a national level which is outlined in a report, “How America Pays For College”, by
Sallie Mae using research conducted by Gallup. Next, the report examines the reasons the
current students in the KSU COE came to Manhattan to study engineering, emphasizing their
geographic background as well.
The results found were that more students in the KSU COE borrow funds to pay for their college
education than college students on a national level. Fewer students in the KSU COE or their
parents solely pay for their college education when compared to students on the national level.
To gather information on how the students in the KSU COE pay for their education, 89 current
students in the KSU COE were surveyed. The students were fourth and fifth year students
having a high probability of finishing their degree programs than first year students. After
gathering data on how this sample of 89 students paid for their education, using statistical
theory, conclusions on how all the current students in the KSU COE pay for their education
were made. These conclusions are compared to the payment methods for the students in the
national sample.

An overview of sugar culture in Morocco, particularly within a Berber community in RastaboudaTravis, Georgia-Rose January 2007 (has links)
Using an anthropological perspective and referring primarily to work by Sidney Mintz, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu this dissertation focuses on the cultural importance of sugar in rural Berber communities within the Rif region of North Africa. In particular, Mintz is referred to with regard to slavery, Bourdieu in relation to habitus and Foucault in relation to normalization of mass beliefs as well as to events occurring in Morocco which relate directly to power structures within society. As well as providing information about the cultural importance of sugar, an historical account of the development of the sugar industry in Morocco is provided. This includes subsequent economic effects both in Morocco and Europe, with details in relation to the development and decline of the sugar industry, the introduction of slavery to Morocco as well as worldwide economic influences. The latter also demonstrates that sugar has been attributed power which is exerted not only within Berber culture from birth to death, but has had an influence throughout social and economic history since the introduction of the Qu’ran to the present day. An argument is developed which suggests that the presence of apparent discrimination and inequalities have arisen partly from a pure desire for sugar. Some long lasting health and environmental effects of processing sugar are outlined and discussed in relation to the health of Rif Berber. This includes a general outline of societal inequalities between genders in health care, including diseases such as diabetes. Tuberculosis along with diabetes, are discussed in order to show that they are social markers which reinforce various power structures within Moroccan communities. The emergence of slavery, land use, and the effects of the rise and subsequent decline of the sugar industry in Morocco are covered. Examples are given of how power shifted from those initially in authority to individuals at local level who complied with certain social norms and beliefs. This closely relates to the importance of sugar in Morocco, its relevance as an introduced crop along with the subsequent social, national and international changes which occurred and to a large extent remain firmly in place today. The long-lasting environmental impacts of the sugar industry represent both direct and indirect power struggles which are unlikely to be remedied without international intervention.

The Experience of Health Care Providers Who Care for the Refugee PopulationMacDonald, Ashley Patricia 01 January 2016 (has links)
Refugees resettling in the United States face many challenges; especially within the health care setting. The purpose of this research was to add to the increasing body of knowledge about improving health care for the refugee population through investigating providers' lived experience caring for them. This study utilized qualitative research methods with a descriptive phenomenological approach. Five healthcare providers, one Nurse Practitioner, three Pediatricians and one Family Medicine Attending, were interviewed face to face through semi-structured interviews, utilizing twelve questions about their lived experience caring for the refugee population. The data from the five participants interviewed revealed three themes that described their experience: Facing Challenges; Experiencing Satisfaction; and Reframing the System. Although each provider found satisfaction within his or her current positions, there is a critical need for improved allocation of resources for housing, social support, and increased funding to help support refugee families that arrive in the United States.

Ontario Colleges in the Digital Age: Understanding the Student Experience, Perceptions and Attitudes of Online Learning at one Ontario CollegeSchneider, Klaus 01 September 2010 (has links)
The global economy is undergoing drastic upheavals as Canada enters the 21st century. The key driver of this transformation is the emergence of the digital age. The digital age is impacting all facets of Canadian society, including postsecondary education. The integration of educational technologies into curriculum is spawning a new form of learning commonly referred to as online learning. Online learning has the potential to radically alter the manner in which knowledge is taught and learned in Canadian higher education.
This mixed-methods study utilized both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The qualitative phase (n = 16) was developed and built upon the development and analysis of the quantitative phase (n = 279), which is based on Chickering and Gamson’s (1987) Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education, permitting the researcher to probe more deeply into the college students’ attitudes and perceptions of their online learning experience. The participating students represented most of the programs offered by this college.
After the data analysis and interpretations of the findings, several themes emerged. The participants in the online questionnaire were satisfied with their online learning experiences at this one Ontario college. The participants cited the convenience, flexibility and the ability to control their learning as major benefits associated with online learning. Although the students who participated in the online questionnaire were satisfied with their online learning experiences, the quantitative and qualitative findings of this study provide compelling evidence that, as a matter of preference, students would chose a face-to-face / hybrid course over an online course.
The participants in the semi-structured interviews repeatedly discussed how the interaction and physical contact between faculty and student, and between students enhanced the learning experiences, which contributed to their academic success. The socialization that occurred in the classroom was also a contributing factor for the preference for face-to-face / hybrid instruction.
The results of this study may inform and guide college leadership and faculty about the complexities associated with implementing an online learning strategy at their college. Implications of the conclusions are presented and discussed on how they may impact Ontario’s colleges.

"La fenêtre brisée" : traité de perspective appliquée à l'holographie de synthèseDesbiens, Jacques 11 1900 (has links) (PDF)
La Fenêtre Brisée est un Traité de Perspective Appliquée à l'Holographie de Synthèse. Cette approche de la représentation spatiale met à contribution la géométrie, l'optique diffractive et l'infographie 30 pour produire des hologrammes de synthèse composés de centaines de vues sur une scène tridimensionnelle. L'opticité et la spatialité de ces hologrammes sont caractérisées par le volume, la multiplicité des points de vue et la nomadicité de l'observation. Au-delà de l'analyse des fondements perspectivistes de l'holographie de synthèse, ma thèse développe l'hypothèse que tous les procédés de représentation optique de l'espace tridimensionnel se définissent par leurs dispositifs de présentation de l'image. Ces dispositifs se regroupent sous trois formes : la fenêtre, l'environnement et l'objet. Ils décrivent la géométrie du dispositif alors que leurs corollaires, « devant », « dans » et « autour », sont des concepts qui décrivent la relation spatiale entre l'observateur et le dispositif. Les quatre premiers chapitres de cette thèse examinent les bases historiques, méthodologiques et structurelles qui préfigurent et soutiennent le développement d'une perspective à multiple points de vue. Les postulats présentés au chapitre cinq ont pour objectif de soutenir l'expérimentation de l'holographie synthétique dans la composition d'images tirant avantage des attributs optiques, spatiaux, cinétiques et interactifs de la perspective holographique. Ces postulats sont issus de mes expérimentations holographiques en lien avec mes dessins et mes photographies qui sont traités plus spécifiquement dans le chapitre six. La conclusion fait le point sur le volet exposition de la thèse et un glossaire des principaux termes spécialisés est présenté en Annexe. Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans la tradition des Traités de dessin, de perspective et d'optique qui ont habité l'histoire des méthodes de représentation. Optique et géométrie, art et science, Orient et Occident, recherche historique et expérimentation s'y rencontrent dans une multitude de procédés et de dispositifs artistiques.
