The Mujib Regime in Bangladesh, 1972-75 : an analysis of its problems and performanceAhmed, Aftab Uddin January 1983 (has links)
The thesis aims to elucidate the factors which made it possible for the triumphant Bangalee nationalist movement expressed by the Awami League (AL) under the leadership of Mujib to fall from power and popular favour in the short space of three and half years. This entails some consideration of background features such as: Bangalee nationalism, the character of the AL, the legacies of the liberation war experience. Mainly, it calls for an inspection of the operations of various elements of the political system during the three and half years. The key element was the AL, dominant party from the moment of the emergence of the State. Therefore,· an examination of the AL and its affiliated organizations in the post-liberation period especially the working of the party at the local level had to be undertaken. The political system within which the AL functioned was in some degree one of its own making and attention therefore has to be given to the making (and changing) of the Constitution. At the same time, the AL though representative of the original nationalist movement, failed to win over the allegiance of all elements and thus opposition parties have to be examined to see what contributions they made to the direction of events. The bureaucracy becomes an important element in the polity during the three and half years and the army brings about the fall of the regime in 1975; the features of each of these institutions are set out in order to explain their roles. And finally an evaluation has been made of the performance of the government and its management of the various problems. The major findings of the study are as follows: Firstly, the factors antecedent to 1972 become manifest in the government and the party. Quite broad categories of people unaccustomed to administration shared the increasing expectations that were created by the nationalist movement especially in the course of the liberation war. But these expectations were disappointed. A period of total disillusionment followed due to the behaviour of those in power. Secondly, the disappointment of the people can not be attributed to any weakness that was inherent in Bangladesh. It can only be attributed to the failure of the ruling party. The actual conduct of the party and the government failed to mobilize and secure the support of the disillusioned. The AL which was a party of the urban middle class and the rural 'haves' found itself relying more heavily on certain richer peasants and did not seriously strive to cultivate the industrial workers. Thirdly, the AL was unable to exert political control. Its response and that of the government to popular resentment was expressed through the increasing use of force and strengthening of the institutions of force. This led to the isolation of the regime and it increasingly relied on the bureaucracy and the army. Thus an anomaly was created by drawing in the bureaucracy and the army into a system which had been designed as parliamentary democracy. The anomaly was removed by bringing about the fall of the regime and instituting direct military rule.

STRESS EPISODES AND ADAPTATION IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE ACCORDING TO CANADIAN PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY PLAYERS FROM ONTARIOBattochio, Randy Cesar 17 March 2014 (has links)
Adaptation in professional sport is the professional athlete’s capacity to act and react effectively to destabilizing stress episodes so that an internal sense of emotional and psychological balance is restored (Schinke, Tenenbaum, Lidor & Battochio, 2010). Professional ice-hockey players must overcome numerous stressors throughout their careers in the National Hockey League (NHL). Though sport researchers have conducted preliminary studies about the stress and adaptation processes of NHL players, small participant numbers and the use of a structured interview guide limited to rookie and veteran career stages limit the conclusions. Based on these limitations, the purpose of the present dissertation was to provide a comprehensive depiction of the stress episodes and processes that lead to adaptation and maladaptation in the NHL. Twenty-three current and former NHL players were recruited for individual interviews, which were then analysed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) inductive thematic analysis. As a result, stress episodes and the subsequent strategies attempted to reach adaptation or maladaptation could be housed either within a career stage or across an NHL player’s career. Career stages were (a) entry into the NHL, (b) remaining in the NHL, and (c) becoming an All-Star. Across-career stress involved (a) high profile team, (b) injury, and (c) relocation. Subsequently, the participants identified pathways designed to alleviate or manage the stressors situated within each stress episode. Through retrospection, the participants decided whether their pathways taken during various stress episodes were adaptive. Recommendations were then proposed by these athletes for aspiring NHL players or maladaptive. Implications for sport researchers and practitioners (e.g., coaches, mental performance consultants) are also provided within the conclusion.

Left at the Gate: A Discrete Choice Model of Fan Attendance in the Canadian Football LeagueHummel, Tyler 05 September 2012 (has links)
The body of literature investigating spectator attendance in sports has developed using various forms of regression with secondary data, leading to a series of fairly consistent findings. The aggregate secondary data that has been used in these studies, which has been effective in developing this body of knowledge, is inherently limited in its ability to explain the most basic element of the attendance issue: how individual consumers choose whether or not to attend a game. The objective of this research is to provide these consumer-level insights, specifically for games in the Canadian Football League, by utilizing a discrete choice methodology. This study generates primary data from actual consumers, while incorporating many of the standard demand determinants. The results of this study show that while the quality of both participating teams are significant predictors of demand, their relative quality is not; contradicting the uncertainty of outcomes hypothesis.

Physiological characteristics and performance of NHL entry draft playersTrépanier, Alex. January 1998 (has links)
This study examined the relationship between the physical fitness of National Hockey League (NHL) entry draft players and performance in the NHL. Physiological profiles were compared by level (NHL vs non-NHL) and position (forwards vs defense). The fitness level was determined by an assessment of body composition, anaerobic fitness, strength, power, muscular endurance, flexibility, and aerobic fitness. Subjects were 422 male hockey players, consisting of NHL entry draft (n = 310), minor league professional (n = 59) and NHL professional (n = 53) players. Results revealed that when drafted, physiological profiles of players who reach the NHL were significantly different from non-NHL players. Players that eventually made the NHL tended to be heavier and had higher peak power (W), mean power (W), VO2max (L/min), grip strength and leg power. The fitness variables in the test battery had low predictive power to identify players who played in the NHL. Physiological profiles of forwards were significantly different from defense. Defense were taller, heavier, and fatter than forwards. Defense had higher peak power (W), grip strength and leg power compared to forwards. The forwards were higher in VO2max when expressed relative to body weight. NHL entry draft players were lower in upper body strength than minor league professionals and NHL players.
