Full textAbstract:
Increasing evidence illustrates an involvement of stress in a large variety of physical and mental illness. Together with the evolutionary development of the social behavior in humans, the traditional interpretations of the attachment theory and the social support theory underscores the importance of affection, belonging and appreciation for human well-being. Not only can an imbalanced stress system be the cause of severe pathological consequences, insufficient social contact can also hamper recovery. Frequent usage of animals in various settings steadily illustrates both physiological and psychological benefits on both the young and the old, the healthy and the ill. Through the study of neurobiological factors, with oxytocin as a central mediator of social behavior and its impact in turn on the stress- and cortisol system, this paper examines the possibility of animals to function as social support. The potential of animals to reduce the suffering in patients with stress related psychiatric disorders, such as the highly frequent exhaustion disorder, human-animal interactions might offer a non-invasive complementary tool to current treatment methods.

Dunlap, Daniel Elvin. "Social judgment research applied toward estimating factors relevant to DUI offenders' intentions to drink and drive: A factorial survey approach." Scholarly Commons, 1988. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/3423.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was fourfold: (1) to measure the extent to which select circumstances weighed in driving-under-the-influence (DUI) offenders' intentions to drive after drinking; (2) to assess the impact of formal sanction, informal sanction, and moral inhibition with respect to intentions to drive after drinking; (3) to investigate the likelihood of each of fourteen rationalizations to represent a justification to drive after drinking; and (4) to examine possible associations between DUI offender characteristics and the factors indicated above. The offender characteristics of age, prior DUI offenses, and motor vehicle accidents involving alcohol were statistically significant, yet showed negligible relationships with intentions to drink and drive. Age, motor vehicle accidents involving alcohol, and "feeling mildly relaxed" were negatively, yet weakly, correlated with the Decision to Drink and Drive rating scale; that is, when these characteristics or factors were present, there was a weak association with the intention to drive. In general, the offenders disagreed with the rationalizations to drive after drinking and to a statistically significant degree. Notable exceptions were as follows: males agreed that it was not so wrong to drive after drinking if a sick friend needed to be taken home or if one had a tolerance for alcohol. Males (59%) and females (45%) tended to agree that it was not so wrong to drive while under the influence of alcohol on an open highway with no traffic. Tentative conclusions were offered: (1) the results may suggest a "treatment effect" related to the stringent enforcement efforts and the recency of conviction of 54% of the sample; (2) completing the survey provided information the offenders did not have at the time they drove after drinking, as well as, a symbolic opportunity to avoid the arrest and consequences for driving after drinking; (3) a demand characteristics effect may have been operating in that socially desirable responses were selected; (4) the number of vignette factors used may have been excessive and contributed to errors on the rating task.

Pearce, Brian. "An exploration of the social factors that may have contributed in the UK to perceptions of work-relevant upper limb disorders in keyboard users." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2014. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/14879.
Full textAbstract:
The outputs that form the basis of this PhD submission include a web site that summarises a unique collection of over 200 Court Judgments in personal injury claims for work-related upper limb disorders heard in the UK, together with a number of more conventional publications. Individually, these outputs all address upper limb disorders associated with work although they each had slightly different objectives and the audiences for which they were produced significantly influenced the type of publication in which they appeared. Together, they help illustrate when, how and, to some extent, why upper limb disorders associated with keyboard use became the issue it did in the UK in the late 1980s and 1990s. While many might now regard keyboard or computer use as an innocuous task, in the late 1980s and 1990s upper limb disorders associated with keyboard use, particularly computer use, became the subject of litigation, legislation, industrial disputes and widespread publicity. The outputs on which this submission is based, together, suggest that following the importation of the concept of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) from Australia in the later 1980s, the activities of trades unions and journalists in the UK promoted work-relevant upper limb symptoms and disorders associated with keyboard use as work-induced injuries. Subsequently, a small number of successful, union-backed, personal injury claims, which involved contentious medical evidence and perhaps an element of iatrogenesis, were widely promoted as proof that computer use causes injury. Around the same time, the government chose to implement flawed Regulations relating to the design and use of computer workstations, which failed to distinguish between that which might give rise to discomfort, fatigue and frustration and that which might give rise to injury. The existence of these Regulations, which among other things require regular, individual risk assessments of computer users, unlike any other type of work, could be interpreted as further 'proof' that computer use causes injury. The approach to the prevention and management of musculoskeletal disorders advocated in current HSE guidance, including the risk assessment strategy, remain capable of generating distorted perceptions of the risks arising from keyboard and computer use.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis of the correspondence between Charles Lyell and Gideon Mantell from 1821 to 1852, in conjunction with other manuscript material, highlights the contrasting backgrounds and geological careers of the two men. It is also characterised by two underlying themes: the nature and timing of their geological work; and the influence of various social factors on their career plans and desire to achieve high social and scientific status. In turn, these points raise several wider issues and inter-related questions concerning the following aspects of English geology in the first half of the nineteenth century. When, why and how did an elite group of geologists emerge in England during this period? Who were its members and what were their characteristics in common? What was the nature and scope of the geological work carried out by the identified elite? In what way did it differ from Mantell's? What social and other barriers did Mantell encounter in his search for scientific and social status? What were the critical factors? In this thesis these issues are examined on a decade-by-decade basis, in three main chapters, as a prelude to examining the central question of why Mantell, unlike Lyell, did not achieve the status of an elite geologist. First, an elite group of English geologists is identified through a series of prosopographic and 'screening' analyses of all members of council of the Geological Society of London (GSL). Geologists who did not meet the prescribed criteria are taken into account. Thirteen geologists are identified in the penultimate and final stages of screening over the four decades. Mantell was the only provincial identified, but he did not attain a position in the final list, which consisted exclusively of a distinctive group of 'gentleman-specialists'. Second, the concept of a geological 'domain' is introduced to analyse the nature and scope of the geological work carried out by the identified group. A critical finding is that all members identified in the final 'screening' list established a 'domain' in one of four categories of the concept and were recognised as the leading authority or exponent of the domain they had fashioned. Finally, the impact and relative importance of specific social and other factors on the careers of Lyell and Mantell are examined. When the findings from each decade of the three chapters are brought together it is shown that by the end of the 1820s it was necessary for a future elite geologist to be so 'positioned' in terms of basic geological experience, location, income and available time that he was able to identify and subsequently fashion an appropriate geological 'domain'. 'Gentleman-specialists', such as Lyell, who were able to follow this strategy, constituted a clearly defined elite that dominated the GSL in the 1830s and 1840s. Mantell's failure to achieve elite geological status stemmed from the fact that he placed too much emphasis on fashioning his image and social status, rather than his scientific career. In doing so, he let the opportunity slip of establishing a major domain - British fossil reptiles - in the early 1830s.

Full textAbstract:
Although stakeholder theory is widely accepted in environmental disclosure research, empirical evidence about the role of stakeholders in firms’ disclosure is still scarce. The authors address this issue for a setting of carbon disclosure. Our international sample comprises the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Global 500, S&P 500, and FTSE 350 reports from 2008 to 2011, resulting in a total of 1,120 firms with 3,631 firm-year observations. The authors apply Tobit regressions to analyze the relationship between carbon disclosure and the relevance of the following stakeholder groups: government, general public, media, employees, and customers. Our results confirm that in addition to carbon performance, all stakeholders are associated with carbon disclosure. Only one stakeholder group (government) acts as a moderator for the relationship between carbon performance and carbon disclosure. Furthermore, the authors find that carbon performance but not the affiliation to a carbon-intensive industry acts as a moderator between stakeholder relevance and carbon disclosure.

Tilki, Mary. "A study of the health of Irish born people in London : the relevance of social and economic factors, health beliefs and behaviour." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2003. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/6724/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that the health of Irish people in London is influenced by factors arising in both Ireland and Britain. Using different qualitative methods, the perceptions and experiences of Irish born people in London and professionals working with the Irish community were elicited. High levels of social distress, poor health and disability were evident and related to the experience of being Irish in London. Psychosocial factors associated with low income, poor housing and living in deprived localities added to the effects of discrimination and low socio-economic position. The insidiousness and specificity of anti-Irish racism evoked persistent feelings of insecurity, impacted on identity, access to health care and influenced ways of coping. Factors relating to earlier life in Ireland may also account for poor health. Resentment about unfairness which compelled interviewees to leave Ireland, and failure to acknowledge their remittances persisted long after the experience of culture shock and homesickness. Aspects of childhood, schooling and Irish society, abuse in institutions or by family were clearly linked to physical or mental ill-health by interviewees. Factors from both countries influenced health beliefs and behaviour. Smoking and alcohol were culturally acceptable strategies for coping with life's difficulties and although harmful, afforded dignity and control in a hostile environment. Religious or spiritual beliefs and practices, contact with Ireland and a sense of belonging in both countries were associated with better health and greater service uptake. Contrary to expectations there was considerable willingness to discuss painful, emotional issues and engage with culturally sensitive services. The pathways by which negative experiences impact upon health are not totally clear but the data highlight the relevance of psychosocial explanations. The thesis demonstrates a relationship between being Irish in London and ill-health but reveals the relevance of childhood experiences and factors associated with Ireland in understanding the complexity of the Irish health experience.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabajo presenta los resultados de un estudio empírico sobre los factores condicionantes de la ventaja competitiva de las agencias de viajes en España. Los objetivos principales de la investigación es por una parte han sido, contribuir al debate científico en curso en cuanto a la fuente de la ventaja competitiva sostenible (considerando dos enfoques -enfoque estructural y enfoque de los recursos y capacidades- y efecto de estos sobre los resultados empresariales) Por otra parte, se estudia la influencia que puede tener en los resultados económicos de la empresa, el grado en que ésta se orienta al mercado y el patrón estratégico que ha adoptado. Adicionalmente, se examina la interrelación entre los distintos aspectos estratégicos.El estudio empírico fue dividido en dos fases, en la primera se utilizo la técnica Delfos para conocer y analizar la opinión de los expertos en turismo, y en la segunda fase, se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra de directivos de 60 empresas del subsector de agencias de viajes, que representan el 20 % de la población objetivo.
El trabajo permitió identificar 21 factores claves de éxito y la existencia de empresas prospectivas, analizadoras y reactivas, en el sub-sector de agencias de viajes en España. Entre las conclusiones más relevantes se encontró que: 1) estas empresas tienden a basar su estrategia mayormente en el enfoque de los recursos, no obstante, se confirmo que tanto el enfoque estructural como el de recursos y capacidades son complementarios y que difícilmente se puede desligar en la práctica el uno del otro; 2) La orientación al mercado manifestó ser una capacidad importante para la empresa y se demostró que sus componentes tienen un efecto distinto sobre los resultados económicos; 3) La orientación al mercado parece estar moderada por el comportamiento estratégico que sigue la empresa, sin embargo, el hecho de adoptar uno u otro de los comportamientos estratégicos identificados no mostró tener un efecto directo sobre los resultados de las agencias.
This work presents the results of an empirical study on the factors that impact competitive advantage of travel agencies in Spain. The main objective of the investigation is on the one hand, to contribute to the scientific debate on sources of sustainable competitive advantage (considering the two main approaches - the structural approach and the resource- and capability- based approach and effect of the application of these approaches on economic results). On the other hand, it shall be investigated how the degree of market orientation and the adopted strategic pattern will influence economic results of firms. Additionally the interrelation of these strategic aspects is examined.
The empirical study was divided into two steps. In the first step the opinion of a panel of industry experts is analyzed by applying the Delphi technique. In a second step a survey of directors of 60 companies of the subsector of travel agencies is performed. The investigated firms represent 20 % of the target population.
As a result the study allowed to identify 21 key factors of success and a classification of companies in the subsector of travel agencies in Spain into: prospectives, analyzers and reactives. The most relevant conclusions have been the followings: 1) These companies tend to base their strategy mainly on the resource-based approach, however, it can be observed that the structural approach as much as the resource-and capability- based approach are complementary and that in practice they can hardly be separated from another. 2) Market orientation is shown to be an important capability of the company , however it is demonstrated that their components have different degree of influence on the economic results. 3) Market orientation seems to be determined by the strategic behavior that the companies exhibit, nevertheless, the fact of adopting one or another of these identified strategic behaviors did not show to have a direct effect on the result of travel agencies.

Research examining interest in stimuli associated with evolved reproductive motivations has demonstrated sex differences in preferences for potential mates and infants, as well as traits and states associated with increased attention to same-sex rivals. Manipulations of reproductive motivations (e.g., mate searching) have also been shown to affect visual attention to these types of stimuli. Most of this work has focused on physical attractiveness in adult targets, which evolutionary theories of mate preferences suggest is less important than social status for women's mate selection, and no research to date has measured patterns of visual attention to infants. Additionally, the stimuli used in past research tend to have low ecological validity and it is not known whether the preferences displayed generalize to the perception of more realistic stimuli. Finally, the potential effects of circulating testosterone on attention to reproductively relevant stimuli have been studied only in very limited ways in men. In the current project, participants self-reported personality traits and characteristics associated with relationships and sexuality, provided samples for analysis of circulating testosterone, were selected to undergo either a jealousy inducing or anxiety-inducing priming task, and were shown low and high ecological validity stimuli displaying reproductively relevant figures. Major findings include more similarity between the sexes than is usually assumed and weaker preferences for potential mates with high mate value in high ecological validity scenes than low ecological validity scenes. Suggestions for future research include applying the theory of strategic pluralism to within-person variability in attention to reproductively relevant stimuli.

The purpose of this study is mainly to investigate the current situation of social skill of seventh graders with disabilities, and also to examine the relevant factors and its predictability. The data of this study was collected from the qusetionnaire filled out by junior high school teachers on Special Needs Education Longitudinal Study in 2012. The collected data were analyzed by mean, standard deviations, Pearson correlations, one-way ANOVA, t-test, and stepwise regression analysis. The results showed that: 1. Seventh graders with disabilities demonstrated moderate level of social skills performance. 2. Among individual variables, there was certainly a correlation between social skill performance and severity of disability. There were significant differences between disability category and problem behavior. 3. It showed certainly a correlation between social skill performance and student’s educational settings. There was significant differences between teacher’s special education professional level. 4. Severity of disability, problem behavior, student’s educational settings and disability category were predicatable for social skill performance.These variables accounted for 45.6%. Finally,based on the conclusions of this study,there are some suggestions for policy makers, teachers, parents, as well as prospective researchers who intend to conduct similar research.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether the factors such as family, school and society affected on junior high students in cooperative practical arts class. According to the findings of this study, suggestions were made to improve the guidance of the cooperative practical arts students in the future . The interpretive research methodology was applied on this study, and the five students were subjects of the study. The participant observation method was applied on this study, and related documents were collected and reviewed to analyze the changing and affective factors of students’ social behaviors during the practice of the cooperative practical arts education. The results of this study revealed that case students’ divisional social behaviors had been grown positively through the process of the cooperative practical arts education . But some social behaviors such as negative interpersonal attitude which formed by family factor hadn’t been changed by the cooperative practical arts education. But during the practice of the cooperative practical arts education, case students interacted with investigator and received the vocational school teachers’ encouragement. They gradually behaved well and express like gratitude to other people, talked with people, and boosted their self-assessment and learning behaviors. Finally, the study results suggested that the cooperative practical arts education for junior high school is a successful grogram.

Discussion on the Relevance of Factors Affecting the Award of Corporate Social Responsibility Report Tong-Hsing Lu Hsuan-Chu Lin Graduate Instiute of Finance, National Cheng Kung University SUMMARY The use of Corporate Sustainability Report to assess the performance of business performance has become an international trend. In this study, selected well-known domestic organizations announced that they have won 509 awards in the past five years and the same industries and similar scales, and whether they violated environmental laws, social care, corporate governance and other related laws and regulations, and whether the company's net profit continued to grow. Represents the actual performance of the company's environmental, social and economic aspects, and analyzes and compares it with Logistic regression. According to the research results, except for the environmental aspects, there is a negative correlation between the other social care, corporate governance and net profit growth, especially in the financial project - net profit growth is very significant, it can be seen that the company still puts the profit and loss in the primary project. Keywords：Corporate Sustainability Report;Logistic regression INTRODUCTION Driven by international trends and the government, Corporate Sustainability Report are showing multiple growth each year. Therefore, the report has become another choice for the public to judge the company's operating performance. This study selects the list of winners in the past five years through well-known domestic organizations, and compares them with unwinned companies to find out the influencing factors of the company's awards. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study represents whether the company violates environmental, social care, corporate governance and other related laws and regulations and whether the company's net profit continues to grow. It represents the actual performance of the company's environmental, social and economic aspects, and is logically regression. Analyze and compare. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION According to the research results, except for the environmental aspects, the other social care, corporate governance and net profit growth are negatively correlated, especially in the financial project - the net profit growth is very significant, so that the company still puts the profit and loss in the primary project.. CONCLUSION The Corporate Sustainability Report can complement the traditional financial statements. However, the Enterprise Sustainability Report has only begun to develop in recent years. Therefore, the relevant data compilation methods and data are not yet mature. Therefore, it is not only possible to assess the non-financial performance of the enterprise. Whether you win a prize through the Social Responsibility Report, you should have an in-depth understanding of the sources of data and the meaning behind it.

Full textAbstract:
China and ASEAN members as a whole are respectively the 2nd and the 3rd largest EU’s
trading partners outside Europe. These markets are not simply relevant now, but also have
great projection in near future: China multiplied by 6 its GDP per capita from year 2000, and
ASEAN countries like Malaysia and Thailand increased it by approximately 45% in the last 5
years. Along this paper, the reasons behind some EU countries exporting more than others to
ASEAN+3 countries are analyzed. The results of the gravity function show that having at least
one national diplomatic mission and negotiating free trade agreements implies higher levels
of exports; however, the euro currency doesn’t have a relevant impact. Other positive factors
are current volume of imports and logistics development, as well as the capacity of the
exporter to produce complex and innovative products; however, the size of the exporter is not
a determinant aspect in terms of export performance.
Additionally, the case of Portugal is specially studied. It is found that Portuguese export
volumes follow import volumes, and that the country is mainly exporting to ASEAN+3
partners with high GDP and logistics performance. About this country, there is still large
room for improvement regarding its trade deficit and its use of diplomatic and commercial
links. This paper can help to justify EU diplomatic and trade bodies acting in a proactive way,
as well as that investment in R&D and not cheap labor is the key to be a competitive
exporter.

Doutoramento em Motricidade Humana na especialidade de Educação Especial e ReabilitaçãoNo sentido de compreender os factores e processos envolvidos nos comportamentos de risco na adolescência, desenvolveram-se dois estudos. O primeiro estudo, quantitativo, tem como objectivo o desenvolvimento de um modelo explicativo dos comportamentos de risco consumo de tabaco, álcool, drogas ilícitas, e delinquência. Os resultados mostraram que os comportamentos de risco são determinados por vários factores, sendo que os factores de ordem social parecem ser mediados por factores de ordem pessoal. O segundo estudo, qualitativo, tem como objectivo o aprofundar do conhecimento dos factores e processos de risco e protecção do consumo de substâncias e da delinquência. Para tal realizaram-se grupos focais com diferentes grupos de jovens organizados em função do género, idade e percurso de desajustamento social. Os resultados mostraram que os jovens têm percepção de um vasto conjunto de factores aliados aos comportamentos em estudo, e que estes parecem situar o risco predominantemente a nível individual e interpessoal e a protecção a nível individual e familiar. De um modo geral, os dois estudos apontam ainda para o facto de factores como o género, a idade e o percurso de desajustamento social constituírem factores determinantes dos comportamentos de risco, bem como das relações aliadas a estes mesmos comportamentos.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação versa sobre o uso indevido da informação privilegiada no mercado de capitais. Primeiramente, pretende-se compreender que, as decisões dos investidores dependem essencialmente da informação, razão pela qual, esta deverá ser de qualidade, e reservada a um número restrito de pessoas, para que depois possa ser disponibilizada a todos, de igual modo.
O ordenamento jurídico de vários Países, incluindo Portugal, condena a difusão e o uso indevido de informação por todos os agentes do mercado em igualdade e com a mesma qualidade. É uma preocupação primordial dentro do mercado de capitais, e, esta função é garantida pela CMVM. Outro ponto importante a destacar é que, uma informação credível e qualidade tem influência no preço das ações e títulos em geral.
Tendo em conta que a preocupação em garantir a eficiência do mercado é uma prioridade da lei portuguesa, logo, ao proibir penalmente a prática do "insider trading", a norma jurídica pretende reforçar a confiança dos investidores no mercado de valores mobiliários, estabelecendo em que condições a informação deve ser difundida. Para prevenir tais abusos no Mercado, foi implementado certos mecanismos, nomeadamente a
comunicação de transações das entidades emitentes e a lista de insider. A violação desses mecanismos, constitui contraordenação grave e as sanções serão debatidas em momento oportuno. Entrará em pauta, competência da CMVM de supervisionar o funcionamento do mercado, além de acompanhar a informação sobre fatos relevantes.This dissertation deals with the insider trading on the capital market. First, we intend to understand that investors' decisions depend primarily on information, which is why it should be of quality, and reserved for a small number of people, so that later can be made available to all, qu’Ally. The law of various countries, including Portugal, condemns the spread and misuse of information by all market players equally and with the same quality. Is a primary concern in the capital market, and this function is ensured by the CMVM. Another important point to make is that a credible information and quality influences the price of stocks and bonds in general. Given that the concern to ensure market efficiency is a priority of the Portuguese law, then, by prohibiting criminal practice of insider trading, the legal standard is intended to enhance investor confidence in the securities market, establishing the conditions under which the information should be disseminated. To prevent such abuses in the market, it implemented certain mechanisms, including communication transactions of issuers and insider list. Violation of these mechanisms is a serious administrative offense and sanctions will be discussed in due course. Enter on the agenda, CMVM's competence to supervise the functioning of the market, keeps track of information on relevant facts.
