The Development of Business Week MagazineStockard, Krista Lynn 12 1900 (has links)
This study explains the development of Business Week from its beginning in 1929 to 1975 and its changes over this forty-five-year period in format, content and editors. The study shows how Business Week developed, reflecting the history of American business, industry, labor, and the rise of the consumer, and recorded the growth and changes in the magazine's format, news departments, services and features, and staff. The study traces the development of Business Week in three periods, 1929, 1930-1950, and 1955-1975; and concludes that Business Week is the leading magazine publication in the business press. The sources of data for this study primarily include the executives of Business Week and the magazine itself.

Variability of sedentary behavior throughout a seven-day measurement period / Title on signature form: Variability of sedentary behavior throughout a seven-day measurement periodDonaldson, Seth Christopher 03 May 2014 (has links)
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the variability of sedentary behavior (SB) throughout a 7-day measurement period and to compare SB between weekdays and weekend days. Second, this study aimed to determine the minimum number of days of SB measurement that is comparable to 7-days of measurement. Secondary to the primary purpose, this study aimed to determine the role demographic variables play in the variability of SB. METHODS: Accelerometry data was previously collected in the Clinical Exercise Physiology Program at Ball State University from 708 participants (260 males, aged 57±13 years, BMI = 30±6 kg/m2; 448 females, aged 52±12 years, BMI of 29±8 kg/m2) who wore an accelerometer at least 4 days. To determine if differences exist between individual days, SB data (<100 cpm) from 293 participants (99 males, 194 females) with 7-consecutive days of accelerometry data, were compared using a two-way repeated measures ANOVA. The larger 4-day cohort was used to compare SB on weekdays and weekend days using a univariate ANOVA. To determine the minimum number of SB measurement days compared to the typical 7-day period, a stepwise regression was performed with the 7-day sub-cohort. RESULTS: No differences in SB were found between individual days (p>0.05) when using the 7-day cohort. However, when using the 4-day cohort, weekdays were found to be more sedentary than weekend days (p<0.05). Using the 7-day cohort, 2 weekdays and 2 weekend days of SB measurement were found to be comparable to 7 days of measurement (R2 of 0.91). CONCLUSION: No differences in SB were found between individual days of the week, however more time, on average, was spent in weekdays (66%) compared to weekend days (64%). 4 days of SB measurement were found to be comparable to 7, meaning the typical 7-day measurement period may not be necessary. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science

Implementing the four-day school week into the elementary and secondary public schoolsRoeth, James E. 03 June 2011 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to provide school administrators information about implementation of the four-day school week. Advantages and disadvantages were discussed in addition to reviewing specific areas of cost effectiveness, student achievement, and staff development.Questionnaires were mailed in April, 1984 to sixty-two public school officials throughout the United States representing eight states that operated the four-day school week. Fifty questionnaires were returned yielding an 80.6 percent return.A review of the literature revealed that the four-day school week was a relatively new concept in school scheduling, having been in existence since the early 1970s. The primary reasons for implementing the four-day school during the 1970s were due to overcrowdedness, conserving energy, and reducing overall operating costs.Some of the findings and conclusions based on the analysis of data obtained from the fifty questionnaires follow:Findings1. Colorado is the leading state in the United States which has school districts operating on the four-day school week being followed by New Mexico and Minnesota. Other states reporting experience with the four-day schedule include Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Utah.2. One-hundred percent of the responding schools implementing the four-day schedule were from rural communities with seventy-six percent of the districts having enrollments of less than 1000 students. The majority of school districts consisted of 200 square miles or more in size.3. The non-school day most frequently chosen was evenly divided between Monday and Friday. Schools more concerned about conserving energy chose Monday whereas schools concerned about co-curricular conflicts during the school day chose Fridays. The four school days were commonly extended sixty or ninety minutes to equal the same amount of instructional time as the five-day schedule.4. Although teacher salaries remained the same, cost savings from five to twenty percent in transportation, food service, custodial supplies, and heating costs were realized by implementing the four-day school week.5. Ninety-seven percent of the superintendents indicated that the four-day school week had improved or not affected student achievement during the first year of implementation.Conclusions1. The four-day school week is perceived as being successful in reducing operating costs, maintaining student achievement, reducing student and staff absenteeism, and improving morale of students and faculty.2. The disadvantages of the four-day school week may be the supervision of students in the community on the non-school day and the longer school day for small children.
