Full textAbstract:
The theme of the work is revitalisation of the Brno rivers, specifically the river Svitava. The main idea of the work is the understanding the river as a city-building element, as a place of potential that every city should fully utilize. People like to spend their free time at the water and such a space should satisfy their needs. The river flows smoothly throught the city, and people should be able to move freely around it. In the ideal case, it should be a green path across urban area. The solved territory is situated in the Brno-Zábrdovice district, which hasn´t ideal reputation. Its image is shaped by, among others, industrial areas which are quite often derelict. My task was to correctly distribute one of these sites, which is located near the Zábrdovice Monastery. The solved territory is currently a non-coherent and inconsistent structure that does not support the image of the site. The river is completely supressed at this point and the movement around it is very limited. In my design I tried to create a place that would offer a lot of activities through the day. I have modified the functions I have in the territory and supported by my proposal to form a working entity together. In such a territory will meet people, who work or live here, who are using the services or come to sport or spend their free time in the pleasant environment of Svitava river.

Full textAbstract:
Widespread rehabilitation of historic residential properties in Tucson, Arizona offers numerous benefits to the community. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Property provides the best practical guidelines for the rehabilitation of historic landscapes, currently. However, interpreting national guidelines for use on local projects is necessary before widespread application can occur. Accordingly, the first section of this work addresses means by which the national standards might be applied to landscape rehabilitation of residential properties in Tucson, including mid to small-scale residences and historic houses of more recent construction. Because these homes often lack traditional sources of documentation, expanding research options within the design process is often necessary. The second part of this work utilizes suggested research options, including academic and non-academic sources, to synthesize information regarding local historic residential landscape practices useful in interpretive and design processes of historic landscape rehabilitation projects.

Bremer, Jonathan Eddy. "Rusk's elasticity and residential income segregation in contemporary American cities." Virtual Press, 2001. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1217386.
Full textAbstract:
David Rusk claims in Cities Without Suburbs that elastic American cities are less segregated than other American cities. I demonstrate through statistical analyses that there is a strong correlation between Rusk's elasticity (an index comprised of a central city's annexation history since 1950 and its population density) and his income segregation index. The statistical correlation between these two variables is stronger than between Rusk's segregation index and any other variable I test, including city age, size, regional location, and black population percentage. I then consider several hypotheses that may explain these correlations and propose that the continuous annexation of peripheral, developing land by a central city prevents the incorporation of affluent suburbs. Suburban boundaries, especially those of affluent suburbs, function as population sorting mechanisms, which segregate migrant households by socioeconomic status and life-style. I ascertain that only rapidly growing, unbounded central cities prevent or ameliorate segregation by being elastic.Department of Urban Planning

Horowitz, Marvin J. "Economic determinants of residential mortgage choice." PDXScholar, 1985. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/827.
Full textAbstract:
Variable rate mortgages (VRMs) have been introduced into the mortgage market as a means of addressing the housing finance problems encountered over the past two decades. To learn more about the demand for VRMs, this study analyzes borrower choice behavior and its economic determinants. In order to estimate the probability of borrowers choosing VRMs rather than conventional fixed rate mortgages, discrete choice (logit) models are specified and validated for both cross-section and pooled time-series cross-section data samples. These samples contain mortgage application information for the years 1978 through 1981. They were drawn from the Loan Register Report of the California Department of Savings and Loan. The probability of choosing a VRM is estimated as a function of selected price components of the mortgage instrument, borrower characteristics, and economic expectations.

Redstone, Victoria. "Design analysis of the American residential garage, 1900-1940." Virtual Press, 2003. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1260632.
Full textAbstract:
Research on the American residential garage from 1900 to 1940 has demonstrated that the following factors impacted garage design: the practical demands of the automobile, architectural styles, placement on a lot, and the socio-economic status of the garage builder. The shape and function of garages were dictated by the maintenance requirements of automobiles and the fire hazards associated with early cars. Architectural styles affected garage design by influencing the materials, roof shapes, and door designs of a given garage. These effects were more evident in garages designed to match an individual house. Catalog garages were shaped by current architectural styles, but these garages were simpler in order to be compatible with a wide range of house styles. Garage placement affected several aspects of garage design including amenities such as electricity and plumbing. Placement was also determined by external factors such as lot size and local zoning regulations. The socio-economic status of a homeowner molded a garage's appearance significantly. Economic considerations impacted garage design by resulting in anything from a simple wooden box with a roof to a two-story brick garage with an apartment.Department of Architecture

This typical 3 bedroom residence has been re-landscaped and retrofitted with storage for rainwater and graywater and low water use plumbing fixtures including toilets. A unique graywater treatment system employs two 300 gallon aquacells and a sand filter to upgrade graywater quality. The house is occupied by a family of three and detailed data are being obtained on water input, use and quality. Qualitative measures include microbiological, physical and chemical characteristics of filtered rainwater and treated, untreated and stored graywater. A model of water efficiency for dwelling units known as the "W-Index" is being formulated as a quantitative measure of residential water conservation options. The numerical evaluation of weighting of the index components will be aided by means of data generated in the monitoring program at Casa del Agua. A nomogram has been developed to provide a ready mechanism to determine the necessary storage volume for rainwater in terms of a specified availability of supply, catchment area, and rate of water use.

Robson, Anna Marie. ""Violence and aggression although not acceptable will happen, can happen and does happen" : a study of staffs' experience of violence in child and family services." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/26002.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Since the 1980’s incidents of workplace violence have been recognised as a serious problem within social care. It has been found to be particularly rife within residential settings and children’s homes in particular have been found to be one of the most violence-prone settings. And yet, there is a lack of literature on the prevalence and psychosocial impact of workplace violence on staff in residential units for looked after and accommodated children (LAAC). Method: Given the limited literature on residential childcare workers a systematic review was conducted on research of violence towards social workers in child and family services to achieve a better understand of violence within child and family social care generally. An empirical study was also conducted with staff of Local Authority residential units within Central Scotland. The aim of the empirical study was to explore staffs’ experience of workplace violence perpetrated by LAAC in residential settings, using the qualitative methodology Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results: The systematic review showed that studies were mostly of medium methodological quality; verbal aggression towards social workers in child and family services was common place; physical violence was comparatively rare; and that all forms of violence impacted on wellbeing and practice. The empirical study had similar findings, but also provided new insights into how staff cope with workplace violence, particularly in the context of young peoples’ life experiences. Conclusion: Violence perpetrated by LAAC in residential units appeared to be lessening and a move towards more behaviour management was aiding staff to better understand the roots of violence. This in turn was found to help staff cope better with the emotional impact of violence. Management need to be mindful of the impact violence has on staff and continue providing training programs to better equip staff to understand violence and support LAAC to manage their aggression.

Full textAbstract:
From the Proceedings of the 1988 Meetings of the Arizona Section - American Water Resources Association and the Hydrology Section - Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science - April 16, 1988, University of Arizona, Tucson, ArizonaThe availability of quality water is an important issue facing the residents of Tucson, Arizona and several communities in the Southwestern United States. As cities continue to grow, more emphasis is being placed on the importance of adopting efficient water use practices and behaviors. A water conservation demonstration, education, and research single family residence named Casa del Agua (Spanish for House of Water) has been established in Tucson, Arizona. Water conservation information is presented to the public via oral and video presentations and a guided tour of the perimeter of the residence. A questionnaire is given to the visitors as they arrive for the tour. The responses to this questionnaire make it possible to determine the types of water conservation behavior being practiced by the visitors to Casa del Agua. Water conservation attitude questions were also included in the questionnaires as were questions about several water issues. From this preliminary study, it has been determined that the levels of adoption of water conservation behaviors have been low to modest. It appears that many of the visitors to Casa del Agua have about the same level of knowledge concerning water conservation as the general public, although the random survey data for the Tucson area has yet to be analyzed. A comparison was made of similar questions asked in a random survey conducted in the Phoenix metropolitan area March 17 -20, 1988. Some of the findings include: 1) The amounts of self- reported water conservation behavior adoption are similar, although the residents of the Phoenix area seem to report a slightly higher percentage of water conservation practices being implemented. 2) Few respondents from either survey indicated they have attended a water conservation demonstration or workshop. 3) Negative public perceptions of water utilities need to be addressed. 4) Water conservation programs that include economic incentives are favored by both survey populations.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare specific aspects of music in general education between selected residential and non-residential public two-year colleges in the United States. The comparison was made by conducting a nationwide mail survey to see how well each college fulfills ten guidelines for specific aspects of music education for the non-major. These guidelines were determined by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) for music departments in higher education. A stratified random sample consisted of 140 colleges.One-hundred fifteen music educators completed surveys. In order to determine if a significant difference existed between residential and non-residential colleges, a two-way factorial analysis of variance was performed on the groups with region and group as factors. The analysis was carried out for each question of the survey. Respondents were given the option of making comments after each question. These qualitative data were compiled and compared for similarities and differences.Many similarities were discovered between the two groups. A significant difference (p<.05) was found between the groups regarding the involvement of the music department in institutional admissions and counseling processes used to convey opportunities for student participation in music studies and activities.School of Music

Full textAbstract:
The impact of the Cold War on architecture in the United States is exemplified in
the promotion and construction of fallout shelters. The development of the hydrogen
bomb by the United States and Soviet Union in the first half of the 1950s increased fears
of the far-reaching effect nuclear war could have on public health and safety.
Government agencies, such as the Office of Civil Defense, promoted the widespread
construction and use of the fallout shelter as a safeguard against human annihilation in
the event of nuclear war. This thesis examines the various types of residential fallout
shelters designed by public and private entities. The location of the fallout shelter within
the family residence had the largest impact on the style and construction method adopted.
This thesis investigates a wide variety of examples and techniques used to encourage
fallout shelter construction. An in-depth discussion of the preservation of the residential
shelter completes the text, including two examples of current preservation practices.Nuclear weapons, the Cold War and a need for shelters -- Evolution, promotion and requiremens for residential fallout shelters -- Interior residential shelters -- Exterior residential shelters -- Preservation issues of the residential fallout shelter.

Full textAbstract:
Universal service is the focal point of the economic dilemma faced by the telecommunications industry. The advent of competition spurred by several regulatory rulings is forcing rates towards economic costs. It is feared that this movement or the erosion of the toll-to-local subsidy with concomitant increases in local prices severely threatens the concept of universal service. To adequately address these fears, accurate elasticity of demand estimates for telephone access are required. This thesis develops estimates of these demand elasticities for access. These estimates are derived consistently from an underlying theory of demand for access. Furthermore, the simultaneous access and class-of-service choice problems are addressed similarly. This consistent development facilitates model usage and interpretation. For example, the model provides the best available estimate for the size of the network externality. Taking into account the underlying demand theory and acknowledging the problems associated with the aggregated nature of the data set (census tract data from 1980 Census), a modified probit technique is developed to estimate the demand model. The estimation methodology is implemented using an iterative least square procedure. To analyze the reasonableness of the algorithm and procedure, a Monte Carlo study is performed. In addition, a jackknife technique is employed to estimate variances of coefficients when the standard measures are unavailable. The model results are used to analyze the effect of current policy decisions. For example, for a proposed doubling of access prices the demand for access elasticity is found to be quite small, about -.04. A welfare analysis is performed to discuss the costs and benefits associated with moving to cost-based rates. This analysis also provides the basis for rate recommendations to facilitate the transition to competition while attempting to preserve the concept of universal service.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the common challenges that residential counselors face when working with dual-status youth, which we defined as any youth with at least one open case with the child welfare system or juvenile justice system (or both) and who have previously had a case with the latter in their lifetime. Data were collected through qualitative interviews with their residential counselors across five different residential treatment centers in southern California.
The most common challenges reported by the residential treatment counselors included multiple roles, role limitation, dual-status youth behaviors, deficiency in training, management, and preparation when working with dual-status youth in a residential treatment facility. This study also found that counselor resiliency served as a buffer against these common challenges.
Findings from this study highlight the importance of considering the challenges residential counselors face while working with their dual-status youth clients in residential treatment facilities because it may affect their clients overall treatment. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of continuing to conduct research on short-term residential therapeutic center policy changes; as well as, the experiences of social workers with dual-status youth clients in residential treatment facilities who are served by residential counselors.

Full textAbstract:
The flexible partition, one of the main components of the flexible housing schemes in West European countries exhibited a comparative technological lack. This research investigated the adaptability of selected commercial flexible partitions available in the North American market to residences since the most realistic way to influence the technological process was to start from the known products and developing them in an innovative direction. The consequences of the proposed sectoral transfer were seen as immediate and long term effects and categorized into three groups of constraints: legal, technological and marketing constraints. The context of evaluation was drawn, and the performance concept was used to form a set of evaluation criteria. Fifty partition systems were reviewed, characterized and mismatched portions were screened out. The analysis with thirteen selected partition systems suggested that the performances of most of them were above the level required for dwelling. The study showed that most of them were economically more feasible as compared to fixed gyproc partitions if life-cycle costs were considered. Since the study showed that the partitions were sound in technical terms, it recommended further studies to look into the matter of modifying them by introducing new materials which would cut down the unnecessary performances and might reduce the initial cost as well.

Banks, Merrilyn Dell. "Economic analysis of malnutrition and pressure ulcers in Queensland hospitals and residential aged care facilities." Queensland University of Technology, 2008. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/16966/.
Full textAbstract:
Malnutrition is reported to be common in hospitals (10-60%), residential aged care facilities (up to 50% or more) and in free living individuals with severe or multiple disease (>10%) (Stratton et al., 2003). Published Australian studies
indicate similar results (Beck et al., 2001, Ferguson et al., 1997, Lazarus and Hamlyn, 2005, Middleton et al., 2001, Visvanathan et al., 2003), but are generally limited in number, with none conducted across multiple centres or in residential aged care facilities. In Australia, there is a general lack of awareness and recognition of the problem of malnutrition, with currently no policy, standards or guidelines related to the identification, prevention and treatment of malnutrition. Malnutrition has been found to be associated with the development of pressure ulcers, but studies are limited. The consequences of the development of pressure ulcers include pain and discomfort for the patient, and considerable costs associated with treatment and increased length of stay. Pressure ulcers
are considered largely preventable, and the demand for the establishment of appropriate policy, standards and guidelines regarding pressure ulcers has
recently become important because the incidence and prevalence of pressure ulcers is increasingly being considered a parameter of quality of care. The aims of this study program were to firstly determine the prevalence of malnutrition and its association with pressure ulcers in Queensland Health hospitals and residential aged care facilities; and secondly to estimate the potential economic consequences of malnutrition by determining the costs
arising from pressure ulcer attributable to malnutrition; and the economic
outcomes of an intervention to address malnutrition in the prevention of pressure ulcers. The study program was conducted in two phases: an epidemiological study phase and an economic modelling study phase. In phase one, a multi centre, cross sectional audit of a convenience sample of subjects was carried out as part of a larger audit of pressure ulcers in
Queensland public acute and residential aged care facilities in 2002 and again in 2003. Dietitians in 20 hospitals and six aged care facilities conducted single day nutritional status audits of 2208 acute and 839 aged care subjects using the Subjective Global Assessment, in either or both audits. Subjects excluded were obstetric, same day, paediatric and mental health patients. Weighted average proportions of nutritional status categories for acute and residential aged care facilities across the two audits were determined and compared. The effects of gender, age, facility location and medical specialty on malnutrition were determined via logistic regression. The effect of nutritional status on the presence of pressure ulcer was also determined via logistic regression. Logistic regression analyses were carried out using an analysis of correlated data approach with SUDAAN statistical package (Research Triangle Institute, USA) to account for the potential clustering effect of different facilities in the model. In phase two, an exploratory economic modelling framework was used to estimate the number of cases of pressure ulcer, total bed days lost to pressure ulcer and the economic cost of these lost bed days which could be attributed to malnutrition in Queensland public hospitals in 2002/2003. Data was obtained on the number of relevant separations, the incidence rate of pressure ulcer, the independent effect of pressure ulcers on length of stay, the cost of a bed day, and the attributable fraction of malnutrition in the development of pressure ulcers determined using the prevalence of malnutrition, the incidence rate of developing a pressure ulcer and the odds risk of developing a pressure ulcer when malnourished (as determined previously). A probabilistic sensitivity analysis approach was undertaken whereby probability distributions to the specified ranges for the key input parameters were assigned and 1000 Monte Carlo samples made from the input parameters. In an extension of the above model, an economic modelling framework was
also used to predict the number of cases of pressure ulcer avoided, number of bed days not lost to pressure ulcer and economic costs if an intensive nutrition support intervention was provided to all nutritionally at risk patients in Queensland public hospitals in 2002/2003 compared to standard care. In
addition to the above input parameters, data was obtained on the change in risk in developing a pressure ulcer associated with an intensive nutrition support intervention compared to standard care. The annual monetary cost of the provision of an intensive nutrition support intervention to at risk patients was
modelled at a cost of AU$ 3.8-$5.4 million for additional food and nutritional supplements and staffing resources to assist patients with nutritional intake. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis approach was again taken.
A mean of 34.7 + 4.0% and 31.4 + 9.5% of acute subjects and a median of 50.0% and 49.2% of residents of aged care facilities were found to be malnourished in Audits 1 and 2, respectively. Variables found to be significantly associated with an increased odds risk of malnutrition included: older age groups, metropolitan location of facility and medical specialty, in particular oncology and critical care. Malnutrition was found to be significantly associated with an increased odds
risk of having a pressure ulcer, with the odds risk increasing with severity of malnutrition. In acute facilities moderate malnutrition had an odds risk of 2.2 (95% CI 1.6-3.0, p<0.001) and severe malnutrition had an odds risk of 4.8 (95% CI 3.2-7.2, p<0.001) of having a pressure ulcer. The overall adjusted odds risk
of having a pressure ulcer when malnourished (total malnutrition) in an acute facility was 2.6 (95% CI 1.8-3.5, p<0.001). In residential facilities, where the audit results were presented separately, the same pattern applied with moderate malnutrition having an odds risk of 1.7 (95% CI 1.2-2.2, p<0.001) and 2.0 (95% CI 1.5-2.8, p<0.001); and severe malnutrition having an odds risk of 2.8 (95% CI1.2-6.6, p=0.02) and 2.2 (95% CI 1.5-3.1, p<0.001), for Audits 1 and 2 respectively. There was no statistical difference between these odds risk
ratios between the audits. The overall adjusted odds risk of having a pressure ulcer when malnourished (total malnutrition) in a residential aged care facility was 1.9 (95% CI 1.3-2.7, p<0.001) and 2.0 (95% CI 1.5-2.7, p<0.001) for Audits
1 and 2 respectively. Being malnourished was also found to be significantly associated with an increased odds risk of having a higher stage and higher number of pressure ulcers, with the odds risk increasing with severity of malnutrition.
The economic model predicted a mean of 3666 (Standard deviation 555) cases
of pressure ulcer attributable to malnutrition out of a total mean of 11162 (Standard deviation 1210), or approximately 33%, in Queensland public acute hospitals in 2002/2003. The mean number of bed days lost to pressure ulcer that were attributable to malnutrition was predicted to be 16050, which represents approximately 0.67% of total patient bed days in Queensland public
hospitals in 2002/2003. The corresponding mean economic costs of pressure ulcer attributable to malnutrition in Queensland public acute hospitals in 2002/2003 were estimated to be almost AU$13 million, out of a total mean estimated cost of pressure ulcer of AU$ 38 526 601. In the extension of the economic model, the mean economic cost of the implementation of an intensive nutrition support intervention was predicted to be a negative value ( -AU$ 5.4 million) with a standard deviation of $AU3.9 million, and interquartile range of –AU$ 7.7 million to –AU$ 2.5 million. Overall there were 951 of the 1000 re-samples where the economic cost is a negative value. This means there was a 95% chance that implementing an intensive nutrition support intervention was overall cost saving, due to reducing the cases
of pressure ulcer and hospital bed days lost to pressure ulcer. This research program has demonstrated an independent association between malnutrition and pressure ulcers, on a background of a high prevalence of malnutrition, providing evidence to justify the elevation of malnutrition to a safety and quality issue for Australian healthcare organisations, similarly to pressure ulcers. In addition this research provides preliminary economic

Full textAbstract:
This document is an examination of the millwork industry in the nineteenth century and its influence upon the residential built environment. This study explores influences and results in relation to the development of millwork in the United States. The first is the technological divergence that developed between the United States and Europe, as America introduced different technologies to exploit the vast amounts of timber accessible to the New World. The second development occurred as the New World slowly developed a taste for the type of elaborate millwork previously associated with wealthy patrons. Low cost of materials and new technologies made more complicated wood finishes available to those of modest means. The third situation reflects the struggle between an elite class of architects and pattern book designers, who advocated restraint in design, and carpenter-builders and their clients, who wanted to display their talent or status through the use of a high level of ornamental millwork.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this thesis was to study, whether drinkable yoghurt enriched with probiotic bacteria could have any effect on constipation and body weight (BW) among older people with dementia. Further, it concerns poor nutritional status among older people with physical and cognitive impairments and its relationship with factors commonly occur in older people living in residential care facilities. It also discusses how body composition changes with ageing and the associations between changes in muscle mass and functional balance after a high-intensity weight-bearing exercise program (the HIFE program) and the ingestion of an additional milk-based protein-enriched energy supplement. A six-month feasibility study that included a probiotic drink was performed among 15 old people who were living in special units for people with dementia and who all had constipation. The effects of the probiotic drink on stool habits, and BW were studied. The outcome measures were followed daily for bowel movements and at three and six months for BW. The staff found the study easy to carry out and that the drink was well accepted by the participants. No convincing beneficial effects on stool habits were observed. In addition, a mean BW loss of 0.65 kg/month was registered. A poor nutritional intake, low physical activity level, and an over-night fast of almost 15 hours, 4 hours longer than recommended were also observed. As a part of the FOPANU Study (Frail Older People-Activity and Nutrition Study), a randomized controlled trial was carried out in Umeå - the associations between nutritional status and factors common among old people with physical and cognitive impairments living in residential care facilities was studied. Assessments were made of nutritional status using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scale, fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) using both bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) and skinfold thickness measurements. The effects of a high- intensity functional exercise program with an additional protein-enriched milk drink on ability to build muscle mass were evaluated. Analyses were made to investigate whether nutritional status, assessed using the MNA scale, was associated with medical conditions, drugs, activities of daily living (Barthel ADL index), cognitive impairment (Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)), and depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)) at baseline. The associations were assessed with multiple linear regression analyses with additional interaction analyses. An independent association was found between poor nutritional status and having had a urinary tract infection (UTI) during the preceding year and being dependent in feeding for both women and men, and having lower MMSE scores for women. A large proportion of the participants, were at risk of malnutrition or were already malnourished. Women, but not men, had significantly lower Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI) and Fat Mass Index (FMI) with age. Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy results correlated with skinfold thickness measurements, but on different levels on value for FM%. Despite the high-intensity exercise had long-term effects (at six months, three months after the exercise) on functional balance, walking ability and leg strength. No effects on muscle mass and no additional effects from the protein-enriched drink could be observed after the three months of high intensity exercise. A negative, long-term effect on the amount of muscle mass and BW was revealed at six months (three months after the intervention had ended). The effects from the exercise did not differ for participants who were malnourished. No statistical interactions were observed between sex, depression, dementia disorder, and nutritional status, and the level of functional balance capacity on the outcome at three or six months. In summary, the majority of the included older people with dementia had a low dietary intake, low physical activity level, and lost BW despite receiving a probiotic drink supplement every day for six months. The supplementation had no detectable effect on constipation. Among the participants in the FOPANU Study, UTI during the preceding year was independently associated with poor nutritional status. Being dependent in feeding was associated with poor nutritional status as were lower MMSE scores for women but not for men. Despite the high-intensity exercise program had long-term effects on the fysical function was no effect on the amount of muscle mass at three months observed. The FFM and FM expressed as indexes of body height were inversely related to age for women, but not for men. A high-intensity exercise program did not have any effect on the amount of muscle mass. The ingestion of a protein-enriched drink immediately after exercise produced no additional effect on the outcome and the results did not differ for participants who were malnourished. The negative long-term effect on amount of muscle mass, and BW, indicate that it is necessary to compensate for increased energy demands during a high-intensity exercise program. High age, female sex, depression, mild to moderate dementia syndrome, malnutrition, and severe physical impairment do not seem to have a negative impact on the effect of a high-intensity functional weight-bearing exercise program. Consequently, people with these characteristics in residential care facilities should not be excluded from training and rehabilitation including nutrition. More research is needed in large randomized controlled trials to further explore the association between energy balance and malnutrition among frail old people, with a special focus on UTI and constipation, but also to study how physical exercise affects older people’s nutritional status.Embargo

Full textAbstract:
Background: The current adherence to colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) guidelines is suboptimal. How neighborhood characteristics, e.g., racial residential segregation (RRS), area-level socioeconomic status (SES) and physician composition, affect CRCS adherence are not fully understood. We assessed associations between facility proximity to RRS areas, area-level SES, physician composition, and CRCS adherence.
Methods: Data sources included 2013 Minnesota Community Measurement, 2009-2013 American Community Survey, 2012 U.S. and 2012-2013 Washington State Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, and 2013-2014 Area Health Resource File. Logistic regressions and weighted multilevel logistic regressions were used to assess the association between facility proximity to RRS areas and CRCS adherence, and association between area-level SES, physician composition and CRCS adherence, respectively.
Results: Facility proximity to RRS areas was positively associated with low CRCS performance, e.g., facilities located < 2 miles away from Hispanic-segregated areas were 3 times more likely to have low CRCS performance than those at ≥5 miles away (odds ratio (OR): 2.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29, 6.24). Most area-level SES measures showed negative bivariate associations between deprivation and colonoscopy/overall adherence, and measures such as education had relatively strong associations, although few of fully-adjusted associations remained statistically significant. Further, a one-unit increase in the percentage of gastroenterologists among physicians was associated with 3% increase in the odds of colonoscopy (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04) and overall adherence (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04) in the rural-metropolitan areas.
Conclusions: Developing culturally tailored CRCS programs, increasing percentage of gastroenterologists, and targeting deprived communities may improve CRCS adherence.

Albassami, Ali Abdullah M. "A Framework for International Commercialization of Innovative Products in Residential Construction: A Case of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in the United States and Saudi Arabia." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/47792.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation presents the development of a new framework for international commercialization of innovative structural products in residential construction. Development of his framework required the examination of six subjects related to international commercialization.
1) commercialization models previously developed, locally and internationally,
2) barriers to the process,
3) stakeholders, actions, and decisions critical to the process,
4) characteristics of innovations that are suitable for international use,
5) characteristics of foreign markets that are ideal to adopt such innovations, and
6) strategies to overcome barriers
The framework development was based on one structural product, SIPs. This product has been successfully developed and implemented in the United States and is being considered for commercial use in Saudi Arabia. Structural product clusters are particularly appropriate because of their innovative nature and their major influence on the structure of residential buildings.
The study relies on sequential explanatory mixed-method research design, consisting of two distinct phases (Creswell 2003), to gain insight into processes surrounding commercialization. The rationale for this approach is that quantitative data and its results provide a general picture of the barriers to international commercialization in the available sample, which can mapped onto an initial framework. The qualitative data and its analysis help to refine and expand statistical results by exploring participants' actual decision processes that can be also mapped to a second framework. Both data sets can be merged, mapped onto one final framework.
Variables related to the six subjects, mentioned above, were distilled from literature into open-ended questionnaires for two groups of key stakeholders in the supply chain of innovative structural products: 1) SIPs stakeholders in the US and 2) stakeholders of innovative structural products in Saudi Arabia. The primary purpose of the open-ended questionnaires was to ensure usage of correct terminology used in this study and to encourage full, meaningful answers—capturing all possible factors affecting the process of international commercialization. The author collected responses using web-based surveys. The results yielded the development of a reliable instrument to be implemented in further steps of this research.
Next, the researcher collected variables related to the questions from previous open-ended questionnaires into closed-ended questionnaires to collect the data (on perceived barriers to international commercialization), using web-based surveys, and performed a preliminary analysis of the data using frequency analysis. This process yielded market-based strategies for developing an initial framework for international commercialization in residential construction.
Subsequently, a focused examination of barriers to international commercialization was needed. The researcher collected such data through an applied understanding of the specific development processes for SIPs to be introduced to a new, international market, namely Saudi Arabia. Based on the model's structure, the researcher conducted six case studies of real stakeholder processes along the supply chain, SIPs development domestically and internationally, and tracked data for real risks of the commercialization process.
Findings suggested perceived versus actual risks and barriers to the commercialization process for an integral product to the residential construction process. This was an important distinction because of proposed development methods and the application of market diffusion. Based on the barriers identified, the researcher developed market-based strategies to be incorporated into a second framework. This framework along with the initial framework and the literature-based framework have been triangulated to develop one final framework. The final framework was then introduced to a few experts in the industry to increase its validity.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
During the past few years, Deaf culture has emerged as an important philosophy that could lead to a radical restructuring of Deaf education methods. The purpose of this study was to determine attitudes concerning Deaf culture from teachers of residential based schools for the Deaf who are Deaf and Hearing.Prior to initiating direct contact with the teachers, the superintendents or principals of the selected residential schools were contacted via mail, and their permission secured. In the United States, 279 teachers (69 teachers who are Deaf, 210 teachers who are Hearing) from seven midwest residential based schools for the Deaf and in South Korea 310 teachers (26 teachers who are Deaf, 284 teachers who are Hearing) from all eleven residential based schools for the Deaf participated.Two-factor ANOVA procedures with repeated measures on one factor were utilized to analyze the teachers' attitudes toward Deaf culture in America and South Korea from a 30-question survey using a five-point Likert scale.This study concluded that: (a) Deaf culture was a subculture in mainstream society whether it was a multi- or singular cultural society--although attitudes toward Deaf culture were accepted more negatively in a singular society than those in a multi-cultural society; (b) Deaf culture was accepted by teachers of schools for the Deaf who are Deaf more readily than those who are Hearing in both multi- or singular cultural societies; and (c) there was no significant correlation between attitudes of teachers who were employed at different levels of instruction, such as elementary and middle or secondary school.Department of Special Education

Full textAbstract:
The topic of this master's thesis is the revitalization of the former Spartakiad stadium. Nowadays it functions as a sports complex Ohrada, which is in neglected condition and not widely used. The area is located at the southern edge of the city Vsetín and is defined by a 1st class road from the northeast, Vsetínská Bečva from the western and agricultural areas from the southern side. Above Bečva, the Bečevná hill rises and together they create a pleasant, out-of-town atmosphere with a great potential. The priority of the proposal was to create an attractive place with a variety of sports and recreational activities for all ages. However, at the beginning it was necessary to somehow insulate the area from the overpass. Therefore a sports and recreation facility was designed at the entrance to the area - it copies the shape of the road and forms an imaginary entrance gate to the zone. A car park was designed under the overpass, so the rest of the area remained exclusively for pedestrians. Sufficient distances among the individual sports grounds are supplemented by recreational areas of greenery. Most playgrounds are designed as multi-purpose, for greater variability of the territory. The buildings have a maximum of two floors and they are located in a way not to disturb the views of the recreational areas. They contain sports facilities as well as a wide range of interior activities. Three materials are used on all the buildings - wood, steel and glass, complemented by neutral white plaster. Therefore, the area operates in a comprehensive and uniform manner.

Full textAbstract:
Les pratiques funéraires sont, dans l’aire maya, étroitement associées aux ensembles résidentiels. La proximité entre les vivants et les morts y est donc maximale, l’espace quotidien étant tout à la fois un lieu d’habitat et un espace funéraire. Cela soulève un certain nombre de questions quant à la relation entre ces individus défunts et leurs descendants, interrogations encore renforcées par l’important degré de sélection qui semble s’exercer à l’endroit des morts. Les Groupes résidentiels sont, pour ces derniers, des lieux dont l’accès est restreint par un certain nombre de paramètres dont le plus important est sans nul doute le statut - situation complexité par l’existence de nombreuses nuances régionales.La présente étude comprend en premier lieu une discussion générale autour de la question des morts dans l’habitat, augmentée d’une discussion méthodologique approfondie concernant la fouille. Elle se poursuit avec la présentation des résultats de la fouille intensive de l’unité 5N6 de Naachtun (Guatemala), qui illustre concrètement le propos développé précédemment. Enfin, les données de différents sites sont confrontées pour mettre en évidence schémas récurrents et différences, puis discutées à la lumière de quelques exemples ethnographiquesIn the Maya area, funerary practices are tightly linked to residential spaces. The proximity between the living and the dead is, therefore, at its apex. This situation raises a number of questions regarding the relationship between these defunct and their living heirs, inter-rogations reinforced by the high selectivity that seems to affect the sample. The residential Groups appear to be restricted areas for the dead, places that only a selected few can access according to different parameters. Amongst these, status is certainly the most prominent. It is further complexified by the existence of regional variations.This study opens with a general approach that deals with the practice of burying the dead within the house, complete with an extensive methodological discussion. A presentation of the excavation results from Naachtun’s Unit 5N6 (Guatemala) follows to illustrate the foregoing. Finally, data from several sites are statistically compared to show similarities and differencies, then discussed in light of several ethnographical studies

"Prevalence and Correlates of Indoor Tanning and Sunless Tanning Product Use Among Female Teens in the United States." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2015. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/136.
Full textAbstract:
Background
Indoor tanning (IT) before the age of 35 increases melanoma risk by 75%. Nevertheless, IT and sunless tanning product (STP) use have gained popularity among youth. However, there are limited data on the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of both IT and STP use in a representative sample of American teens.
Methods
Teenage females (N = 778) aged 12–18 years were recruited as part of an on-going longitudinal study conducted between May 2011 and May 2013. Descriptive statistics explored IT and STP usage in teen females at baseline. Logistic regression was used to determine sociodemographic correlates of IT and STP use.
Results
Approximately 16% of female teens engaged in IT behavior and 25% engaged in using STPs. Female teens living in non-metropolitan areas were 82% more likely to indoor tan compared to those in metropolitan areas (OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.07–3.10). Age, geographic regions, and race increased the likelihood of IT and STP use.
Conclusions
Results indicate a significant proportion of teen females engage in IT and STP use. There was evidence that in teens that have never used IT before, STP use precedes IT initiation. Given the evidence for increased IT in rural populations, research focused on rural tanning bed use is needed.

Full textAbstract:
Le droit est le produit de la société humaine. On le trouve lorsque cette société est au sommet de son succès et ses traces sont plus flagrantes lorsque celle-ci est bouleversée par des crises diverses. La loi vient pour s'adapter à ces divers états. Cette idée est citée entre autres par M. BURDEAU1 : "la désintégration du concept de loi n'est pas explicable par les seules données de l'univers juridique ; elle est le reflet d'un phénomène sociologique". On comprend alors que parfois, les crises sociales entraînent une atteinte à la loi, à son autorité transcendante. Des auteurs expliquent que cette atteinte entraîne une perte des caractères essentiels de cette loi qui sont la généralité, l'impersonnalité et l'universalité. Cette perte vient au profit du principe de stabilité de la société. Les statuts spéciaux des baux d'habitation sont un exemple de l'atteinte aux caractères principaux de la loi. A la fin de la 2ème guerre mondiale en France et de la guerre civile au Liban, les législateurs français et libanais se sont trouvés face à la réparation des crises sociales et humanitaires provenant de la guerre. De nombreuses lois sociales ont été promulguées, surtout en matière de baux d'habitation. De nouveaux statuts juridiques ont vu le jour. Le législateur devait prendre en compte l'intérêt du locataire, sans oublier celui du bailleur. Il devait garantir l'intérêt général par le respect de la liberté personnelle et la protection des propriétés privées considérées comme principes fondamentaux dans la constitution des deux pays et dans les conventions des Droits de l'Homme. Notre étude se basera sur ces lois spéciales (loi du 1er septembre 1948 en France et loi du 23 juillet 1992 au Liban), sur leurs caractéristiques, fonctionnement et régimes. Nous examinerons leur impact social, économique et juridique pour savoir s'ils apparaissent comme une solution à la crise sociale, sans aboutir à une crise législativeThe law is the product of human society. It's found when this society is at the top of its success and its tracks are more blatant when this one is affected by various crisis. The Act has to adapt to these various states.This idea is summarized among others by Mr. BURDEAU : “The disintegration of the concept of law is not explainable by the only data of the legal universe; it's a reflection of a sociological phenomenon”. Then we understand that sometimes, social crises lead to an infringement of the law, to its transcendent authority. Some authors explain that this impairment brings loss of the essential characters of this law which are the generality, the impersonality and the universality. This loss is for the benefit of the principle of stability of the society. The special status of residential leases are an example of the impairment of the main characters of the Act.After the 2nd World War in France and the civil war in Lebanon, French and Lebanese legislators found themselves repairing the social and humanitarian crises from the war. Many social laws have been enacted, particularly in residential leases. New legal statutes have emerged. The legislator had to consider the interests of the tenant, without forgetting that of the lessor. He had to ensure the general interest by respect for personal freedom and the protection of private property considered as fundamental principles in the constitution of the two countries and the human rights conventions.Our study will be based on these special laws (act of September 1, 1948 in France and July 23, 1992 in Lebanon), on their characteristics, operation and plans. We will examine their social, economic and legal impact to see if they appear as a solution to the social crisis, without leading to a legislative crisis

In order to evaluate the use of Electricity Consumption as a Socioeconomic Status, this research analyzes information in two levels of geographical aggregation. At the first level, under a territorial perspective, it investigates indicators of Income and Electric Energy Consumption aggregated by weighted areas (set of census sectors) in the city of São Paulo and uses the microdata of Demographic Census 2000 jointly with residential consumers’ database of AES Eletropaulo. It applies Spatial Auto-Regressive (SAR) models, Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), and an unprecedented combined model (GWR+SAR), developed in this study. Several neighborhood matrices were used to assess the influence of space (with Downtown-Suburbs pattern) of the variables under study. The variables showed strong spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I greater than 58% for the Energy Consumption and more than 75% for the Household Income). Relations between Income and Electricity Consumption were very strong (coefficients of determination of Income reached values from 0.93 to 0.98). At the second level, the household one, it uses data collected in the Annual Satisfaction Survey of Residential Customer, coordinated by the Brazilian Electricity Distributors Association (ABRADEE) for the years 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Weighted Linear Model (WLM), GWR and SAR were applied to survey data with interviews allocated on the centroid and the seat of the districts. For the year 2009, we obtained the actual locations of the households interviewed. Additionally, 6 algorithms of points distribution within the polygons of the districts have been developed. The results from models based on centroids and seats obtained a coefficient of determination R 2 of around 0.45 for the GWR technique, while the models based on scattering points within the polygons of the districts have reduced this account to about 0.40. These results suggest that the algorithms of allocation of points in polygons allow the observation of a more realistic association between the constructs analyzed. The combined use of the findings shows that the billing information of the electricity distributors has great potential to support strategic decisions. Because they are current, available and monthly updated, socioeconomic indicators based on energy consumption can be very useful as an aid to processes of classification, concentration and estimation of household income.
Com o objetivo de avaliar o uso do consumo de energia elétrica como indicador socioeconômico, esta pesquisa analisa informações em dois níveis de agregação geográfica. No primeiro, sob perspectiva territorial, investiga indicadores de Renda e Consumo de Energia Elétrica agregados por áreas de ponderação (conjunto de setores censitários) do município de São Paulo e utiliza os microdados do Censo Demográfico 2000 em conjunto com a base de domicílios da AES Eletropaulo. Aplica modelos de Spatial Auto-Regression (SAR), Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), e um modelo inédito combinado (GWR+SAR), desenvolvido neste estudo. Diversas matrizes de vizinhança foram utilizadas na avaliação da influência espacial (com padrão Centro-Periferia) das variáveis em estudo. As variáveis mostraram forte auto-correlação espacial (I de Moran superior a 58% para o Consumo de Energia Elétrica e superior a 75% para a Renda Domiciliar). As relações entre Renda e Consumo de Energia Elétrica mostraram-se muito fortes (os coeficientes de explicação da Renda atingiram valores de 0,93 a 0,98). No segundo nível, domiciliar, utiliza dados coletados na Pesquisa Anual de Satisfação do Cliente Residencial, coordenada pela Associação Brasileira dos Distribuidores de Energia Elétrica (ABRADEE), para os anos de 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 e 2009. Foram aplicados os modelos Weighted Linear Model (WLM), GWR e SAR para os dados das pesquisas com as entrevistas alocadas no centróide e na sede dos distritos. Para o ano de 2009, foram obtidas as localizações reais dos domicílios entrevistados. Adicionalmente, foram desenvolvidos 6 algoritmos de distribuição de pontos no interior dos polígonos dos distritos. Os resultados dos modelos baseados em centróides e sedes obtiveram um coeficiente de determinação R2 em torno de 0,45 para a técnica GWR, enquanto os modelos baseados no espalhamento de pontos no interior dos polígonos dos distritos reduziram essa explicação para cerca de 0,40. Esses resultados sugerem que os algoritmos de alocação de pontos em polígonos permitem a observação de uma associação mais realística entre os construtos analisados. O uso combinado dos achados demonstra que as informações de faturamento das distribuidoras de energia elétrica têm grande potencial para apoiar decisões estratégicas. Por serem atuais, disponíveis e de atualização mensal, os indicadores socioeconômicos baseados em consumo de energia elétrica podem ser de grande utilidade como subsídio a processos de classificação, concentração e previsão da renda domiciliar.

Full textAbstract:
In den Jahren 1992-1995 kamen ca. 35 Tausend bosnische Kriegsflüchtlinge nach Berlin und wurden vorübergehend geduldet. Nach Kriegsende 1995 sollten sie schnellstmöglich wieder zurückkehren. Traumatisierte und Ältere ohne Angehörige im Heimatland wurden weiterhin geduldet bis Bosnien-Herzegowina wieder aufgebaut ist. Doch der Wiederaufbau verlief schleppend. Mit dem Friedensvertrag von Dayton begannen nicht Frieden und Wiederaufbau, sondern die Konsolidierung der ethnischen Grenzen in demokratischen Strukturen. Deshalb sahen viele Flüchtlinge keine Möglichkeit in ihre Heimatorte zurückzukehren und versuchten ihre Rückkehr hinauszuschieben. Möglich war dies mithilfe der Attestierung einer kriegsbedingten Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung und ihre psychotherapeutische Behandlung, die den Inhabenden und ihren Familienmitgliedern eine Aufenthaltsverlängerung ermöglichte und ab dem Jahr 2000 den Erhalt eines dauerhaften Aufenthaltstitels. Die Verbindung einer psychischen Krankheit und ihrer Psychotherapie mit einem Aufenthaltsrecht ist neu in der Geschichte des deutschen Ausländerrechts und obwohl Berliner Psychiater, Psychiaterinnen, Psychologinnen und Psychologen maßgeblich an der Schaffung der „Traumatisiertenregelung“ beteiligt waren, wurden ihre Atteste von der Berliner Verwaltung in Frage gestellt. In der Dissertation werden die Standpunkte der Flüchtlinge, Behandelnden und der Verwaltung dargelegt und ihre Interaktionen beschrieben.Die Rolle des Krankheitskonzeptes der Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung wird als "boundary object" (Star/Griesemer 1989) untersucht. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Lebenswelten und Taktiken der Flüchtlinge, sich in Berlin zurechtzufinden und Anerkennung und Verständnis für ihre Situation zu finden. Ihre Bedürfnisse wurden in einen psychotherapeutischen Bedarf übersetzt und damit den Berliner Psychotherapeutinnen und -therapeuten ein neues Betätigungs- und Professionalisierungfeld geboten, was kritisch hinterfragt wird.From 1992 until 1995 about 35 thousand Bosnian war refugees fled to Berlin and were allowed to stay temporarily. After the end of the war in 1995 they were expected to leave as soon as possible. Traumatized persons and elderly without relatives in Bosnia had the possibility to prolong their visa until Bosnia is reconstructed. But the rebuilding process progressed only slowly. With the end of the war did not start the expected peace time and rebuilding but the consolidation of ethnic borders inside democratic structures. Therefore many refugees did not see a possibility to return to their property and tried to delay their return. This was possible with an medical statement certifying a war related posttraumatic stress disorder and their psychotherapeutic treatment. These medical statements ensured the extension of the visa for the concerned person and its family members. From 2000 onwards they could receive a permanent residence title. The connection of a mental illness and psychotherapy with residence entitlements is a novelty in the German aliens law. And despite the fact that psychiatrists and psychologists from Berlin were leading actors in the establishment of the „regularization of the traumatized“ their medical/psychological statements were impeached by the authorities. The dissertation describes the viewpoints of refugees, treating physicians and psychologists and the authorities and how they interact with each other. Additionally is the concept of posttraumatic stress disorder examined and discussed as „boundary object“ (Star/Griesemer 1989). An important aspect is the description of life worlds and tactics of the refugees to get along in Berlin, to gain respect and appreciation for their situation. Their needs were translated into a psychotherapeutic demand and this led to the invention of a new field of work and professionalization for psychotherapists in Berlin. This development is critically reflected.

Full textAbstract:
Face à l’augmentation des prix de l’immobilier, accéder à la propriété et résider à proximité des établissements scolaires attractifs sont deux aspirations difficilement conciliables pour les classes moyennes. Cette thèse prend pour objet la tension entre ces deux dimensions centrales de leur position sociale à partir de l’étude des effets du statut d’occupation du logement sur la ségrégation résidentielle et les inégalités scolaires. L’approche quantitative montre d’abord que le logement locatif, privé et social, représente une alternative importante au marché immobilier dans les contextes scolaires attractifs où les prix des logements sont les plus élevés, ce qui est lié à la construction d’une offre locative sociale « intermédiaire » et aux pratiques d’attribution des logements sociaux dans ces espaces. A l’inverse, l’accession à la propriété est facilitée dans les espaces populaires où les établissements scolaires sont moins prestigieux. L’enquête par entretiens menée dans la proche banlieue parisienne montre ensuite que les arbitrages entre le statut d’occupation et le lieu de résidence permettent d’accéder à des ressources qui peuvent se compenser, et qu’ils traduisent des rapports différenciés entre les groupes sociaux d’une part, et entre les générations du réseau familial d’autre part. Mettant en évidence la façon dont les trajectoires sociales et résidentielles des classes moyennes s’articulent au statut d’occupation du logement, la thèse contribue à l’analyse de la stratification sociale en milieu urbain dans le contexte de peur du déclassement et apporte un éclairage original pour penser l’articulation des politiques du logement et des politiques scolairesGiven the strong correlation between the distribution of attractive school offer and the prices on the housing market, the middle classes are likely to face complex trade-offs between housing tenure and access to attractive educational resources. This research examines how the middle classes deal with these uneasy negotiations, by analyzing the effects of housing tenure on their residential segregation patterns and their relationships with spatial inequalities in school provision. First, I use a quantitative approach to show that proximity to attractive public schools in privileged urban contexts is associated with higher representation in the private and public rental sectors, which relates to the development of public housing units aimed at middle-class households in these areas. On the contrary, access to homeownership mostly unfolds in working-class areas with poorly performing schools. Second, building on fieldwork in the Paris metropolis, I show that the middle classes articulate different values and attitudes to deal with exacerbating constraints on the housing market and competition for better schools. Their compromises between housing tenure and place of residence reveal different relationships with other social groups and between generations within the family network. Overall, the interplay between housing tenure, the social profile of places and the unequal geography of education shapes different residential status within the middle classes, which is crucial to understand social stratification and class relations in large cities as well as to improve housing and education policies aimed at tackling the effects of place in the (re)production of inequalities

Full textAbstract:
From the moment children are born, they begin a lifetime journey of learning about themselves and their surroundings. With the establishment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, it mandates that all children receive a high-quality education in a positive school climate. Regardless of the school the child attends or the neighborhood in which the child lives, proper and quality education and resources must be provided and made available in order for the child to be academically successful.
The purpose of this ex post facto study was to investigate the relationship between the FCAT 2.0 mathematics scores of public middle school students in Miami-Dade County, Florida and the concentrations of a school’s racial and ethnic make-up (Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics), English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) population, socio-economic status (SES), and school climate. The research question of this study was: Is there a significant relationship between the FCAT 2.0 Mathematics scores and racial and ethnic concentration of public middle school students in Miami-Dade County when controlling SES, ESOL student population, and school climate for the 2010-2011 school year?
The instruments used to collect the data were the FCAT 2.0 and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) School Climate Survey. The study found that Economically Disadvantaged (SES) students socio-economic status had the strongest correlation with the FCAT 2.0 mathematics scores (r = -.830). The next strongest correlation was with the number of students who agreed that their school climate was positive and helped them learn (r = .741) and the third strongest correlation was a school percentage of White students (r = .668). The study concluded that the FCAT 2.0 mathematics scores of M-DCPS middle school students have a significant relationship with socio-economic status, school climate, and racial concentration.
