Parental health beliefs and respiratory illness consultations at general practitioners in multi-ethnic and multi-cultural areasClarke, Andy January 1989 (has links)
This research was concerned with how parents from different ethnic groups manage their children's respiratory and febrile illnesses, and their consultations at the general practitioner (GP). A review of the few British studies looking at parental health behaviour revealed that parents are continually having to make complex decisions, in which the clinical characteristics of the illness and the behaviour of the child are the most important factors in predictions of what the parent will do. Despite the belief among some GPs that their Asian patients consult more often and for trivial illnesses, we predicted that consultations, however many there are, will reflect rational decisions on the part of the parents. What may appear trivial to a doctor may not be for a parent. Including our pilot studies, we interviewed parents of 159 children - aged between two and eleven years - from three general practices in the inner-city area of Leeds. These parents were either white and indigenous, Muslims, Sikhs or Afro-Caribbeans; and approximately half of the children had been taken to see the doctor in the previous fortnight with a respiratory/febrile complaint, whereas the other half had not been to see a doctor for at least four months.

A statistical analysis of individual success after successful completion of Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center TrainingHinson, William B. 09 1900 (has links)
"The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) trains students in various foreign languages and dialects for the Department of Defense (DOD). The majority of students are firstterm enlistees in the basic program. This study uses classification trees and logistic regression to understand the military, academic and personal characteristics that influence first-term success after successfully completing DLIFLC training. Success was defined as completing a firstterm enlistment contract and maintenance of language proficiency. DLIFLC management was interested in the difference in success for individuals that graduated DLIFLC via the different training pipelines. Students graduate by completing the program as originally assigned, or by recycling, relanguaging or taking DLPT enhancement training multiple times and in multiple combinations due to various academic, administrative or other reasons. 63% of students graduated. Only 45% of those that graduated were successful post-DLIFLC. Results identified several factors influential in predicting success; the factors were service affiliation, contract lengths and gender. Training pipelines were slightly influential. Individuals in the Army had the worst odds of success. Contract lengths greater than four years had lower odds of success. Males had higher odds of success than females." p. i.

Evaluating Sunni participation in an election in a representative Iraqi townGun, Suat Kursat 09 1900 (has links)
What we once thought of as purely civilian considerations are today increasingly significant matters to international peace and security. Conflicts within states and urban encounters make civilian considerations particularly troublesome for military forces sent to stabilize that country. Along with these changes in the patterns of war, the techniques that are used in operations have also changed. Stability operations are an application of military power to influence the political and civilian environment. Often these take the specific form of peacekeeping or peace support operations. Peace Support Operations (PSO) are military operations to support, provide and sustain a long-term political settlement. PSO and conventional war have different characteristics. It is possible to generalize the main purpose of conventional war as "defeat the enemy," whereas peacekeeping attempts to "win the peace." At tactical level, some of the goals of peacekeeping missions are to help and protect civilians, to avoid violence and escalation, and to ensure the safety of the public with civilians in a stability operation than in combat. Secondly, stability operations are executed in a more diverse range of environments than those of conventional war. Furthermore, depending upon the mandate, soldiers must use different sets of engagement rules when interacting with civilians.

The influence of cultural dimensions on entrepreneurial intention in Madagascar's rural areasRatsimanetrimanana, Fenosoa A. 10 July 2014 (has links)
Understanding the triggers of the intention was, is and will be at the heart of
scholars’ preoccupations when dealing with the universe of entrepreneurship.
This unique pioneering research aimed at comparing the Malagasy main ethnic
groups in terms of measures of cultural dimensions and perceived desirability
and examining the effects of this perceived desirability on the relations between
cultural dimensions and entrepreneurial intention.
A non-experimental cross-sectional survey, based on a cluster sampling with
quota approach comprising three sub-samples of ethnic groups and a
structured questionnaire directly administrated by trained interviewers, was the
source of data of the research. The use of relevant robust statistical tests
characterised the data processing of the research, which revealed that there is
no important difference in the measures of cultural dimensions among main
ethnic groups in Madagascar’s rural areas. The level of perceived desirability
and the relationships between cultural dimensions and entrepreneurial intention
are not importantly moderated by perceived desirability among the main ethnic
groups in Madagascar’s rural areas. Furthermore, it has been discovered that to
some extent, Madagascar would not be a country of ethnic diversity and
beginning to understand the Malagasy entrepreneurial profile based on cultural
dimension, perceived desirability and entrepreneurial intention is possible.
Within the context of an unprecedented level of poverty of the population of
Madagascar, which strangles the way to a harmonious and sustainable
development, the findings of the research would make an invaluable
contribution to the setting up or the refining of policies and strategies targeting
the promotion of entrepreneurship in general and self-employment in particular.
It is broadly acknowledged that the key to alleviating poverty is based on the
encouragement of self-employment of all individuals.
