OBJETIVO
Investigar associação entre participação no programa de assistência alimentar e sobrepeso/obesidade, segundo nível de pobreza.
MÉTODOS
Estudo transversal com dados sobre 46.217 mulheres não gestantes e não lactantes, de Lima, Peru, obtidos de pesquisas, com representatividade nacional, nos anos de 2003, 2004, 2006 e 2008-2010. A variável dependente foi o sobrepeso/obesidade e a independente foi a participação no programa de assistência alimentar. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson; os modelos foram estratificados por nível socioeconômico familiar para todo o país, por área de residência (Lima versus o resto do país; urbano versus residência rural) e anos de estudo (2003-2006 versus 2008-2010). Os modelos foram ajustados por idade, nível acadêmico, urbanização e ano de estudo.
RESULTADOS
Participar do programa de assistência alimentar associou-se com risco aumentado de sobrepeso/obesidade para as mulheres que viviam em domicílios sem indicadores de pobreza (PR = 1,29; IC95% 1,06;1,57). Quando estratificados por área de residência, foram observadas associações similares para as mulheres que vivem em Lima e em áreas urbanas; não foram encontradas associações entre a participação no programa de assistência alimentar e sobrepeso/obesidade entre as mulheres que vivem fora de Lima ou em áreas rurais, independentemente de sua condição de pobreza.
CONCLUSÕES
Participar do programa de assistência alimentar associou-se com sobrepeso/obesidade para mulheres não pobres. Estudos adicionais serão necessários em países que enfrentam ambas as faces da má nutrição.pia.chaparro@chess.su.se
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the association between food assistance program participation and overweight/obesity according to poverty level. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of data from 46,217 non-pregnant and non-lactating women in Lima, Peru was conducted; these data were obtained from nationally representative surveys from the years 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2008-2010. The dependent variable was overweight/obesity, and the independent variable was food assistance program participation. Poisson regression was used to stratify the data by family socioeconomic level, area of residence (Lima versus the rest of the country; urban versus rural), and survey year (2003-2006 versus 2008-2010). The models were adjusted for age, education level, urbanization, and survey year. RESULTS Food assistance program participation was associated with an increased risk of overweight/obesity in women living in homes without poverty indicators [prevalence ratio (PR) = 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06;1.57]. When stratified by area of residence, similar associations were observed for women living in Lima and urban areas; no associations were found between food assistance program participation and overweight/obesity among women living outside of Lima or in rural areas, regardless of the poverty status. CONCLUSIONS Food assistance program participation was associated with overweight/obesity in non-poor women. Additional studies are required in countries facing both aspects of malnutrition.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Objective. Diet quality is poor in the United States and is an area of concern for the health of the population. Gardening interventions are promising ways to improve diet quality. The most effective gardening method to improve diet quality remains unclear. A systematic review of gardening and nutrition knowledge interventions was conducted to determine interventions that improve diet quality and the most effective intervention. Method. Studies published between 2007 and 2012 were identified through a library database search. Studies involved youth in the United States and the impact of gardening intervention on diet quality. Fruit and vegetable intake, willingness to taste and preference for fruits and vegetables, and other nutrition related outcomes were examined. This review only includes peer-reviewed articles in English. Results. Six studies were reviewed. Four took place on school grounds where the nutrition education and gardening took place within school curriculum and two studies were conducted during youth summer camps. Studies include youth from 8 to 15 years. Conclusion. Findings from this review suggest that garden-based nutrition intervention programs may have the potential to improve diet quality. However, there is still need for well-designed, evidence-based, peer-reviewed studies to determine program effectiveness and impact. Limitations of the studies as well as suggestions for future research directions are provided.

Simmons, Anne Harris. "The Association Between Selected Health Characteristics and Participation in Learning Projects by Retired Educators". Thesis, North Texas State University, 1985. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc332340/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study identified the number of learning projects undertaken by thirty-eight retired educators and examined the extent to which these experiences were associated with the body weight and the exercise patterns of the subjects. A list of 1091 names of retired educators was obtained and 400 names were randomly selected to receive a brief survey seeking responses to demographic, personal and miscellaneous questions relating to their efforts to continue to pursue learning. Interviews were arranged with thirty-eight subjects who met established criteria. The 19 8 3 Metropolitan Height and Weight Tables were used to estimate weight characteristics and a probe sheet was designed to identify the number of hours spent exercising in activities vigorous enough to increase heart beat. In-depth interviews were conducted by the investigator using the questions from Tough's Interview Schedule for Studying Some Basic Characteristics of Learning Projects, and the probe sheet designed by the investigator. The interviews focused on the efforts to continue learning during the past twelve months and on the participation in vigorous exercise during the past twelve months. Findings were analyzed by computing t-tests for independent means and the Pearson product moment method of correlation. Comparisons of the results from this study were made with the results from two previous studies, "The Older Adult and Learning," by Roger Hiemstra, ancj "A Comparative Study of Professionally Related Learning Projects of Secondary School Teachers," by N. E. Kelly. The results of this study indicate that much learning is continued past retirement and that all learning is not focused on self; some relate to the needs of the community and of churches. The data supports Hiemstra's premise that health related obstacles diminish learning activity. The Theory that older adults pursue less learning than young adults was not supported by this study.

Thesis (MOccTher)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Participation in meaningful occupations is what defines us as human beings and is an important indicator of health and well-being. It is the way we experience the world around us and is closely linked to quality of life. As an occupational therapist at a school for learners with special educational needs, the researcher was interested in how young adults with a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy (CP) who attended this school, experience their participation or the lack thereof in occupations and if it contributes to meaning and fulfilment in their lives? She established through informal conversation with some of these young adults or their parents, that they experience unemployment, unhappiness and poor integration within the community. The aim of this study was therefore to describe how young adults living with CP in economically disadvantaged communities within the Western Cape, experience the quality of their participation in meaningful occupations. A qualitative phenomenological study design was used, enabling the researcher to explore the value and meaning participants attach to different occupations, the participants perceptions of their experience and the factors impacting on their participation. The study population was young adults between the ages of 18-28 years with a diagnosis of CP, who attended the previously mentioned school and who exited school over the duration of the past nine years. The researcher used purposive maximum variation sampling, to ensure variation in terms of diagnosis, living arrangements, employment and marital status. Data collection took the form of ten face-to-face semi-structured individual interviews and inductive content analysis was utilized to analyse data. The following four themes emerged from the data: overcoming challenges; having equal opportunities; barriers holding me back and the future is mine to shape. These young adults participated in a variety of meaningful occupations and have learned to utilize various strategies to overcome the difficulties they faced in this process. The following factors influenced their participation positively: having meaningful relationships; accepting their disability and nurturing a positive attitude; being proud of their achievements; positive work experiences and involvement in the community. Factors contributing to these young adults not experiencing meaningful participation were the following: their perception of themselves and also how they perceived being treated by others; non-acceptance of their physical circumstances and disability; incompetence and poor self-confidence; termination of previously meaningful occupations; challenges with interpersonal relationships and unsatisfactory work experiences. The need to be as independent as possible was of utmost importance to all these young adults, as it was an indicator of being in control of their own lives. Given the above information, the researcher recommends a transition preparation program for senior phase learners that will include sessions on work habits, social skills, transportation, self-employment and integration into the community to be implemented at the school. Supported employment options should be explored as well to ensure maximum employment among these learners exiting school. A follow-up system should be established to evaluate the effectiveness of the above-mentioned program.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Deelname in betekenisvolle aktiwiteite is uniek aan die mens en is ook ‘n belangrike aanduiding van gesondheid en welstand. Ons ervaar die wêreld rondom ons deur betekenisvolle deelname, was nou verbind word kwaliteit van lewe. Tydens haar werk as ‘n arbeidsterpeut by ‘n skool vir leerders met spesiale onderrig behoeftes, het die navorser begin belangstel in hoe jongmense met ‘n diagnose van serebraalgestremdheid (wat oudleerders is) hulle deelname aan aktiwiteite of die gebrek daaraan ervaar en of dit bydra tot betekenisvolheid en vervulling in hulle lewens. Sy het deur informele gesprekke met van hierdie jongmense of hul ouers vasgestel dat hulle ervaring ongelukkig, werkloos and swak geïntegreed in hulle gemeenskap is. Die doel van hierdie studie was dus om te beskryf hoe jongmense met ‘n diagnose van serebraalgestremdheid wat in ekonomies benadeelde gemeenskappe binne the Weskaapse Provinsie woon, die kwaliteit van hul deelname aan betekenisvolle aktiwiteite ervaar. Die navorser het ‘n kwalitatiewe fenomenologiese studie ontwerp gebruik sodat sy die volgende aspekte kon verken: die waarde en betekenis wat die studie deelnemers aan spesifieke aktiwiteite heg; hulle persepsie van hulle ervaringe, asook die faktore wat deelname beïnvloed. Die studiepopulasie was jongmense tussen die ouderdomme van 18-28 jaar oud met ‘n diagnose van serebraalgestremdheid, wat die bogenoemde skool bygewoon en verlaat het in die afgelope nege jaar. Die navorser het ‘n doelgerigte maksimum variasie steekproef gebruik, om sodoende variasie in terme van diagnose, verblyf, werk en getroude status te verseker. Data was ingesamel deur middel van tien semi-gestruktureerde individuele onderhoude. Induktiewe inhoud-analise was gebruik om die data te ontleed en die volgende vier temas het na vore gekom naamlik: om uitdagings te oorkom; om gelyke geleenthede te hê; hindernisse wat my terughou en die toekoms is myne om te vorm. Hierdie jongmense neem deel aan ’n groot verskeidenheid aktiwiteite en het deur ondervinding verskeie strategieë aangeleer om die probleme wat hulle ervaar het te oorkom. Die volgende faktore het hulle deelname positief beïnvloed: betekenisvolle interpersoonlike verhoudings; aanvaarding van hulle gestremdheid en koestering van ‘n positiewe houding; trots op hulle prestasies; positiewe werkservaringe en betrokkenheid in hulle gemeenskap. Die faktore wat bygedrae het tot swak deelname aan aktiwiteite was die volgende: hul self-persepsie, asook hul persepsie van hoe ander hulle behandel; nie-aanvaarding van hulle gestremdheid en fisiese omstandighede; swak selfvertroue en gevoelens van onbevoegdheid; die staking van vorige betekenisvolle aktiwiteite; uitdagings in hulle verhoudings en onbevredigende werkservaringe. Hul onafhanklikheid is vir hierdie jongmense van uiterste belang, want dit is ‘n aanduiding dat hulle in beheer is van hulle eie lewens. Na aanleiding van bogenoemde informasie, maak die narvorser die volgende aanbeveling: Om ‘n voorbereidings program vir senior fase leerders te begin, wat sessies van werksgewoontes, sosiale vaardighede, transport, self-indiensneming en integrasie in die gemeenskap insluit. Die moontlikheid van ondersteunde indiensneming moet ook verken word, om maksimale indiensneming onder hierdie jongmense te verseker. ‘n Opvolg sisteem moet ook in plek gestel word om die doeltreffendheid van bogenoemde program te bepaal.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Quality has become a central concern as it has been observed that reducing defects will lower the cost of production. Hence, companies generate and store vast amounts of quality related data. Analysis of this data is critical in order to understand the quality problems and their causes, and to take preventive actions. In this thesis, we propose a methodology for this analysis based on one of the data mining techniques, association rules. The methodology is applied for quality related data of an electronics company. Apriori algorithm used in this application generates an excessively large number of rules most of which are redundant. Therefore we implement a three phase elimination process on the generated rules to come up with a reasonably small set of interesting rules. The approach is applied for two different data sets of the company, one for production defects and one for raw material non-conformities. We then validate the resultant rules using a test data set for each problem type and analyze the final set of rules.

Statement of the problem. Hospital occupancy is the number of inpatients divided by the number of beds. It has risen over the last two decades in many countries. This thesis will determine if there is an association between hospital occupancy and quality of care. Setting. The Ottawa Hospital - Civic Campus, a tertiary care teaching hospital in Ottawa, Canada between January 1, 1993 and July 31, 1999. Methods. Daily rates of hospital occupancy and several quality of care indicators were derived using administrative databases. Indicators included: efficiency outcomes (emergency room (ER) delay, hospital length of stay (LOS), off service transfers, bed to bed transfers, and operating room (OR) cancellations); inpatient outcomes (deaths, cardiac arrests, c. difficile infections, medication errors, and falls); and outpatient outcomes (7- and 30-day visits to any ER, urgent readmissions to any hospital, and deaths). Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) time-series modeling was used to test the association between hospital occupancy and each of the outcomes. Results. Significant, positive associations were identified between daily occupancy rates and the following outcomes: ER delay, off service transfer, bed to bed transfers, and the proportion of patients dying within 30 days of discharge. Significant negative associations were identified between occupancy and length of stay and hospital deaths. Conclusion. This study demonstrates that quality of care is associated with hospital occupancy. Further research is required to validate the clinical importance of the efficiency indicators used and to adjust occupancy for case-mix.

The current study tests a theoretical model exploring the relationship between hooking up and marital quality and whether this relationship is mediated by sexual satisfaction and communication using public-use data from currently married participants in Wave IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health, n = 1,729). Gender proved to significantly moderate the association between the variables in the model, but college education did not. The results indicate that hooking up has a direct negative relationship with marital quality for men that is not mediated by either sexual satisfaction or communication. The results for women revealed no direct relationship between hooking up and marital quality, but an indirect influence via communication.

Background: This study aims to delineate the relative effects of relaxation practice, exercise and social participation on cognitive function in Taiwanese older adults and explore the differences through sleep quality. Methods: This study uses data from the 2006 wave of the Social Environment and Biomarkers of Aging Study (SEBAS) a nationally representative sample of Taiwanese older adults age 53 and older. Cognitive function was assessed using the Short and Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ) Participants were categorized into four groups: older adults who engaged in relaxation practice only, exercise only, relaxation practice and exercise, and neither. Social participation was assessed through self reports indicating the number of different associations or activities participated in. Subjective sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PQSI) and categorized into two groups: good sleep quality and poor sleep quality. Multilevel regressions were used to analyze the association between the explanatory variables controlled for socio-demographic controls and health measures and subjective SES. Analysis was then separately conducted based on sleep quality. Results: Older adults who engaged in both of relaxation practice and exercise were associated with higher cognitive function than those who neither practiced relaxation and exercise among all older adults (β = 0.79; p < 0.01). Social participation also remained positively associated with cognitive function among all older adults (β = 0.32; p < 0.01). Only older adults who had poor quality sleep showed a positive association between engaging in relaxation practice and exercise exclusively (β = 1.38; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Engaging in both relaxation practice and exercise as well as being socially participative seems to have a combined effect that benefits cognitive function in older adults, especially in those with poor sleep quality. Keywords: older adults, cognitive function, exercise, relaxation practice, social participation, sleep quality

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
abstract: Recent research finds that there is significant variation in stock market participation by state and suggests that there might be state-specific factors that determine household stock market participation in the United States. Using household survey data, I examine how accounting quality of public companies at the state level affects households’ stock market participation decisions. I find that households residing in states where local public companies have better accounting quality are more likely to invest in stocks. Moreover, those households invest greater amounts of their wealth in the stock market. Cross-sectional tests find that the effect of accounting quality on stock market participation is more pronounced for less affluent and less educated households, consistent with prior findings that lacking familiarity with and trust in the stock market is an important factor deterring those types of households from stock investments. In state-level tests, I find that these household outcomes affect income inequality, which is less severe in states where high public-firm accounting quality spurs more stock market participation by poorer households. Conversely, in states where public firms have lower accounting quality, stock market participation among poorer households is less common, and a larger share of high equity returns accrues to richer households, exacerbating income inequality.Dissertation/Thesis

A majority of indigenous people live in remote rural areas where there are comparatively fewer sports facilities and resources, so they mainly do exercise in their schools. Under such circumstances, the relationship between the sports participation rate of indigenous adolescents and their sports environment is put into question. A questionnaire was made and then sent to 145 students in two senior high schools in Shoufeng Township, Hualien County. Chi-square test was used to see the differences in sports participate rates of indigenous adolescents with different backgrounds, which were then analyzed to investigate the relationship between the sports participation rate and the sports environment. The major finding are as follow as: 1. Most Indigenous adolescents participate “30 minutes” in sports; they mainly participate in sports “five times” a week; intensive sport five times a week after school; the major place of participation in sports was “school sport facilities”, and the most commonly sports was “basketball”. 2. The top five benefits of doing exercises by indigenous adolescents were “improving health”, “enjoying the process”, “tapping potential”, and “releasing pressure”. 3. The top five barriers of doing exercises by indigenous adolescents were “not confident of themselves”, “not having companion”, “poor physical strength”, and “heavy school work”. 4. There are significant differences in how often, how long, and where to do exercises by adolescents of different indigenous groups. Amis adolescents exercise most frequently, five times a week, nearly 30 minutes every time. Their counterparts of other indigenous groups exercise twice every week. Most of them exercise 31 to 60 minutes every time. 5. There is a significant difference in sporting intensity of indigenous adolescents of the both sexes. Most male indigenous adolescents choose to do intensive sports (77.3%). 6. The more attractive the sports environment was, the more willing indigenous adolescents are to do sports. On top of that, the closer they live to the sports environment, the higher their participation rate is. The results show that the sports participation rate of students in the two senior high schools in Shoufeng Township, Hualien County met the standard set by the SH150 plan of the Sport Administration, Ministry of Education. Schools’ efforts in providing diversified sports environments and calling for doing exercise might directly influence indigenous adolescents’ sporting habits. Second, there are significant differences in sports participation by adolescents of different indigenous groups, different age groups, and different gender. Third, the sports participation rate of indigenous adolescents who live in Shoufeng Township, Hualien County seemed not to be influenced by sports environment.

Due to the rapid aging of population and the prolongation of life expectancy, people pay more and more attention on elders’ retirement life. According to the characteristics of modern society, such as elders’ health, increase of economic resources and the obsolescence family support system, encouraging elders to have social participation becomes an important issue of elderly welfare. How is elders’ social participations in Taiwan? What are the key factors of elders’ social participations? Could social participation increase their life satisfactions? Which of the social participation is the main factor that influences life satisfactions? Above are the targets of this study. At first, we probe into life satisfactions, social participation meanings, related factors, and research from bibliography, and we take social gerontology as the theoretical base of this study. This study conducted a secondary data analysis based on the data from 1999 Survey of Health and Living Status of the Middle Aged and the Elderly in Taiwan, provided by the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health, R.O.C. (Taiwan). The study subjects were elders over 65 years old, and the number of valid samples was 2890. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Chi-square test(X2), Independent-Samples t-test, point biserial correlation, the Pearson product-moment correlation, logistic regression analysis, multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Based on the main findings of this study, we have the following conclusions: 1.Elders have needs of social participation. 2.“The elderly group” is elders’ favorite social participation target. 3.Intention obstacle is the main reason hindering elders’ social participation. 4.Elders’ social participation is related to life satisfaction. 5.The most critical factor in social participation which influences life satisfaction is “participation degree”. 6.The factors influencing elders’ social participation are gender, age, educational level, economic status, health status and residential locations. 7.The factors affecting elders’ life satisfaction are educational level, economic status, health status, marital status, residential arrangement and social participation. 8.The factors affecting the life satisfaction of the elderly who has social participation are educational level, economic status, health status, residential arrangement and participation degree. According to the above conclusions, this study proposes the following suggestions for the governments, institutions dealing with elders’ social participation and elders: 1. Suggestions for the governments: (1) Complete elderly economic and healthy welfare services. (2) Promoting the advantage of social participation on aging accommodation to elders by social education. (3) Constructing elderly community centers, encouraging and helping elders to establish the associations. (4) Constructing the barrier-free environment for elders’ social participation. 2. Suggestions for the institutions dealing with elders’ social participation: (1) Eliminating the obstacles of the institutions to increase probability of elders’ social participation. (2) Providing diverse types of social participation and focusing more on the quality of the activities. 3. Suggestions for elders: (1) Overcoming the intention obstacles to have more social participation. (2) Being prepared for the retirement to have healthy and satisfying elderly life.

Recently, many studies investigate whether auditor tenure harm earnings quality. This paper examines the association between auditor tenure and earnings quality under the unique dual-attestation system in Taiwan. After controlling audit firm, customer firm size, financial leverage, operating cash flows and loss, the empirical findings show that the longer the auditor tenure is, the more earnings quality improves. It also shows a significant positive association between auditor tenure and earnings persistence. The sensitivity analyses show that mandatory auditor rotation cannot improve earnings quality.

The past studies show that sleep disorders were associated with the risks of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationships of sleep quality and sleep duration with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Study participants for this cross-sectional study were identified from the 2007 Taiwan Survey of Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, and Hyperlipidemia (2007TwSHHH). A total of 4,325 adults were recruited, including 3,508(81.1%) participants without MetS and 817 subjects (18.9%) with MetS. Data collected included questionnaire, anthropometric, and blood pressure measurements, and blood biochemistries. Assessment of sleep status was based on 5 questions derived from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The MetS was defined according to 2007 version of the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan.The multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals(95%CI）. The results of this study showed that short sleep duration (<7 hours per night) was a significant correlate of MetS (OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.05-1.48). As compared with normal sleep duration (7-9 hours per night).As stratified by gender, short sleep duration was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of MetS in men (OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.03-1.56), but not in women (OR=1.03, 95% CI=0.80-1.32). With respect to sleep quality, there were no significant associations between specific components of sleep quality and MetS in men.However, women who wake up three times a night had a significantly higher prevalence of MetS than those without such sleep complaint (OR=1.47, 95% CI=1.15-1.87). In conclusion, short sleep duration was a significant correlate of MetS. In addition, there was a gender-dependent effect of poor sleep quality on the prevalence of MetS.

Earnings quality of the financial statements is the key for the capital market to evaluate firms’ operating performance. The better earnings quality of the financial statements is, the more can financial statements reflect firms’ economic substance. Because the investors can not physically participate in the companies’ daily operations, there exists information asymmetry between the investors and the management of the firms. On the other hand, earnings quality would be lower if firms’ management manipulated earnings through poor information disclosure quality. To protect the investors in the capital market, the Securities and Futures Institute installed the “Information Transparency and Disclosure Ranking System” in 2003. The purpose of the system lies in facilitating the participants to integrate with the global market by improving their information transparency. Besides, the evaluation results from the system can provide reference information for the authorization and the investors. Investors’ interests are therefore protected and the capital market can have sound development. Due to the importance of earnings quality to the capital market, this study explores the association between the information disclosure ranking and earnings quality (proxied by earnings persistence, earnings smoothness and the comprehensive earnings quality indicator). Based on the sample of the listed companies in Taiwan from 2009 to 2012, the empirical results show that: (1) Earnings persistence is significantly positively correlated to the information disclosure ranking. That is, the higher the firms’ information disclosure ranking is, the more persistent the firms’ earnings are. (2) The comprehensive earnings quality indicator is significantly positively correlated to the information disclosure ranking. It means that the higher the companies’ information disclosure ranking is, the better the companies’ earnings quality is.

Recently, the government encourages companies to set up the audit committee and expects to enhance corporate governance. Therefore, this paper investigates the association between audit committee and earnings quality in order to assure the effectiveness of the audit committee on improving corporate governance. Using a sample of Taiwanese listed firms over the period 2009 to 2016, we use discretionary accruals, discretionary current accruals, and value-relevance as proxies for earnings quality. The empirical results show that the formation of the audit committee and the frequency of audit committee meetings are both positively correlated with earnings quality, indicating that the formation of the audit committee can improve corporate governance and earnings quality; moreover, the more often the audit committee meets, the higher earnings quality the company has. Additionally, we implement three sensitivity tests and the results still remain robust.

ABSTRACT This study used both qualitative and quantitative research methods to in-vestigate the service quality of the R.O.C. Travel Quality Assurance Associa-tion (TQAA). First, the questionnaire was developed by the modified Delphi method based on the framework of literature review. Subsequently, the survey was conducted and investigated the TQAA members from the headquarters of Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung. Of 620 copies of questionnaire distributed, there are 482 questionnaires valid and available for data analysis using the SPSS statistical software (v19.0). The results show a stable growth of mem-bership, suggesting a high degree of recognition toward the services provided by the Association. Particularly, the “caring service” receives the highest rec-ognition among the five service factors. Generally, the members are satisfied with service quality of the TQAA, feel smart to be the part of it and intended to continue supporting the association. Moreover, there is a positive rela-tionship among the three variables of “service quality”, “satisfaction” and “behavioral intention”, which also interact significantly with individual vari-ables. Finally, it is found that the “service quality” can effectively predict the “satisfaction”, and the “satisfaction” can predict the “behavioral intention” via the Multiple Regression Analysis. This further confirms that there is a signifi-cant interrelationship among these three variables. It can thus be concluded that the service quality is significantly interrelated with the customer satisfac-tion and behavioral intention. The findings can be reference for the all the related parties. Keywords: ROC Travel Quality Assurance Association (TQAA), service quality, satis-faction, behavioral intention.

M.Ed.Educational organisations on the international front are being bombarded by a proliferation of in-vogue terminology such as participative management, collaboration, shared vision and decentralisation that are associated with the collegial management model. However, an in-depth critical analysis of international educational systems reveal that these new-age concepts associated with collegiality are more theoretical in nature and seldom translated into practice in schools (Sergiovanni and Starratt, 1988). There are still deep seated bureaucratic principles embedded in the management fibre of schools and this gives rise to a false type of working together namely “contrived collegiality”, in an effort to comply with the existing demands perpetuated by legislature and policy. According to Hargreaves (1994: 192) contrived collegiality, as opposed to genuine collegiality, arises through administrative control, and is imposed on the teachers regardless of their desires.

In the past, the service quality was the ultimate target of pursuance and improvement for every major service industry. Government has put much attention to improve the quality of its service in recent years to shorten the distance and relationship between it and the public. Therefore, in the process of measuring the service quality, how governmental services can get the public approval is an issue that worth government’s concern. Especially, the promises of the administrative direction of policies that proposed by government’s chief officers to voters during the election period, in order to realize such promise, the government shall continuously provide well-developed service quality and examine the performance of the service quality to determine that its service quality is good or bad then. This study is adopted members under the governance of Miaoli Irrigation Association as the research object; in addition, this researcher has also asked favor from few friends, including the staff of irrigation workstation, local people’s representatives, members of the irrigation association and the leader of irrigation group, to send out and retrieve the questionnaire, and it has sent out randomly. Such questionnaire has edited this researcher with referred to these 5 major aspects that proposed by P.Z.B., including the members’ satisfaction degree and their viewpoint of importance, further through the approach of questionnaire survey to make use of the Importance-Performance analysis (IPA) to conduct the study on the practical issue of the performance measurement for the service quality of Miaoli Irrigation Association. After studied the analysis, it showed that its members had approximately good and approval evaluation for the overall service quality of Miaoli Irrigation Association; especially, they had significant approval and satisfaction with the service attitude for workstations of software service, and the efficiency of emergency repairing engineering that implemented by post-disaster workstations; however, as for the aspect of hardware facilities, the reserved parking spaces that provided by workstation were certainly needed but have failed members’ expectation currently. For the aspect of PZB’s assurance for the service quality, coast line workstations are better than mountain line workstations: in terms of service items of PZB’s empathy aspect, coast line workstations paid much attention than mountain line workstations did; and the rest of responsiveness, tangible and reliability, there has no significant difference between members of mountain line and coast line workstations for their satisfaction with such service. In addition, with studying different members’ personal variable to the hardware facilities and software service that proved by Miaoli Irrigation Association will have different service demands in accordance with their ages, cultivation areas, participation time in irrigation work and job titles. At last, this study has suggested that Miaoli Irrigation Association shall additionally add more reserved parking spaces to improve such parking issue for members, recruit the public volunteer and form interview team to deep-rootedly serve its members to satisfy their empathy and responsiveness, in order to improve Miaoli Irrigation Association’s service quality and enhance members’ recognition and loyalty to Miaoli Irrigation Association.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the characteristics of internal auditors (IAs) and earnings management (proxied by the absolute values of discretionary accruals (|DA|) and real earnings management (REM), respectively). Due to the difficulty in accessing internal audit data, this study designs the questionnaire and sent it to internal audit executives to acquire five individual measures of internal audit quality—numbers of IAs, on-the-job experience, training hours, percentage of IAs who have the professionally certified, and the probability of professional staff turnover that was placed inside the company—and one composite measure for the quality of Internal Audit Function (IAF). The evidence indicates that the composite IAF quality measure is negatively associated with the level of |DA| and REM. The results purport of the better the IAF quality, the lower the level of |DA| and REM. In respect of individual IAF quality measures, the empirical results show that numbers of IAs, on-the-job experience, training hours, and percentage of IAs who have the professionally certified are negatively associated with the level of |DA|. And there is a positive relation between the probability of professional staff turnover that was placed inside the company; nothing else but numbers of IAs, training hours, and percentage of IAs who have the professionally certified are negatively associated with the level of REM.

Prior studies have examined the association between auditor firms’ industry specialization and earnings quality. However, the audit environment in Taiwan is different from U.S.A. The audit regulation in Taiwan requires that two auditors jointly issued an audit opinion on the financial statements of a listing company. This is called “dual attestation” mechanism. Hence, this study examines the association between earnings quality and auditor industry specialization under the dual attestation mechanism in Taiwan. We compare the absolute level of discretionary accruals and earnings persistence of firms audited by industry specialists with those of firms not audited by industry specialists. Because industry specialization is unobservable, we use six proxies for it. The empirical results show that clients of industry specialists have lower discretionary accruals and higher earnings persistence than clients of non-specialists. In addition, several sensitivity analyses indicate the empirical results are robust. These findings are consistent with clients of industry specialists having higher earnings quality than clients of non-specialists.

ABSTRACT Few literature deals with service quality model of the R.O.C. Travel Quality Assurance Association (TQAA) from the perspective of the travel agencies. Thus, the present study was initiated to propose the influential model of service quality of TQAA. First, the main factors that influence service quality of TQAA were constructed via literature review and con-verted into multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) evaluation system. Subsequently, a survey was carried out to investigate the expert agen-cy-members of TQAA and collect their opinions which were then examined using decision making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The result, network relation map (NRM), shows that the quality service model of TQAA including five dimensions and 16 criteria with inter-influential relationship networked by various influential values from high to low. Therefore, the influential order of dimensions can be sequenced as “assur-ance”, “reliability”, “responsiveness”, “tangible” and “empathy”. The same rule can also be applied to the individual dimension and the influential se-quence can be ordered among the criteria as well. Overall, the research re-sult demonstrates an improvement model of service quality of TQAA and can be useful reference for the related authorities.

Chronic kidney disease prevails among various countries . Medical expenses have become a great burden. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Taiwan is the highest in the world. Thus, identifying risk factors for chronic kidney disease is important. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between chronic kidney disease and water quality in Taiwan using the correlation values. We got the kidney disease prevalence and the water quality data to study their correlation. Our results showed that arsenic in groundwater and nitrate nitrogen in reservoir and chemical oxygen demand in river were potential risk factors for chronic kidney disease. The arsenic in groundwater is the most significant item. The correlation coefficient between arsenic and chronic kidney disease is 0.60. The correlation coefficient between arsenic and end-stage renal disease even reached 0.72. For our suspected risk factors, we want to know whether there are more papers have proven their impact on chronic kidney disease, and some have proven their relevance, some of them are also need to invest more research to observe the relevance. But no matter what, if we let the public to reduce the contact to the water region which is including the above monitored items, we believe that Taiwan can effectively reduce the incidence of kidney disease.

This study uses the data of audit fee disclosure of recent 5 years to realize the association between audit fee disclosure and the quality of financial statements. Also, the variables related to corporate governance are used to promote the relationship of the model. The empirical results indicate that audit fee related information disclosure is not associated with the quality of financial statements in recent 5 years. The aforementioned findings can be attributed to the result of implementing accountant audit fee disclosure policy announced by Securities and Futures Bureau from 2009. In this study, some corporate governance variables such as company size, operating cash flow, etc. are negatively or positively associated to the quality of financial statement.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between diet preference and sleep quality in preadolescents. The moderation of gender and grade in the relationship was estimated as well. Methods: Twenty six public elementary and junior high schools in Taichung Metropolitan, Changhua County, Nantou County, and Yunlin County were randomly selected, with a total of 441 5th and 7th graders recruited in this study. Sleep quality of all participants was measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Diet preference was indexed by frequency of punctual to eat three meals and food preferences. Sleep quality was devided into good (PSQI≤5) and bad (PSQI>5) when examining its relationship with punctual to eat three meals and food preferences in univariate analyses and multivariate analyses. Interactions between gender, grade and diet variables were tested in multiple regression models to explore possible moderating effects of gender and grade. Results: Schoolchildren’s punctual to eat three meals and food preferences are related to sleep quality. Grade and gender do not affect the sleep quality, but grades may interact with punctual to eat three meals to affect sleep quality. Conclusions: Punctual to eat three meals and preferring to eat vegetable and milk products are good for sleep quality. Therefore, parents should pay attention to children’s diet time, and provide more vegetables and milk products, to improve children’s sleep quality. School should also consider providing more vegetable and milk products in children’s lunch.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the degree of diversification, audit fees and audit quality, using audit opinions as proxy of audit quality. The sample comprises public firms listed in Taiwan Stock Exchange and Over-the-Counter. The empirical evidence indicates a negative relation between the degree of diversification and audit opinion, which means that the firms with relatively high degree of diversification are more likely to receive a clean audit opinion than the firms with relatively low degree of diversification, because the benefit derived from diversification may overwhelm the negative effect caused by serious agency problem due to high degree of diversification. Besides, the study shows a positive relationship between audit fees and unfavorable audit opinion, which means CPAs are more likely to issue unfavorable opinion to the firms with high audit fees. It implies CPAs will not compromise on audit quality even though they are eager to receive high audit fees. Finally, the study also finds that the negative relationship between the degree of diversification and unfavorable audit opinion will be alleviated when the firms pay relatively high audit fees to CPAs. It means when other variables remain constant, high audit fees may convey the signal of high audit risk.

The study uses a sample of public firms listed in Taiwan Stock Exchange and Over-the-Counter during the period of 2000-2009 to investigate the relation between the degree of diversification, auditor tenure and earnings management. The empirical results are as followings: (1) The higher the degree of diversification is, the lower the magnitude of earnings management is, which is consistent with the argument of accruals off-setting hypothesis. (2) The negative relation between the degree of diversification and the absolute value of discretionary accruals (a proxy of earnings management) will be alleviated when CPAs have a long tenure relative to a short tenure, even though I spilt the sample into two groups, including the firms with positive accruals and the firms with negative accruals, the empirical results remain still.

We test the relationship between earnings quality and audit committee interlocking. First, our empirical result shows that audit committee can improves earnings quality significantly no matter it was established voluntarily or mandatorily. Then we find that firms which were interlocked by their audit committee (or interlocked by member of audit committee who is financial/accounting expertise) are most likely to manage earnings, but there is no significant association with earnings quality when they have director interlocking or independent director interlocking. Furthermore, the result shows that the strength of director interlocking, the strength of independent director interlocking, and the strength of audit committee interlocking impair earnings quality. Finally, we investigate whether earnings management spreads between firms via audit committee interlocking, and the result shows that “information accepted firm” is less likely to manage earnings when it’s audit committee members got a high score from “information sending firm” which had high quality of earnings in previous period. Our findings support the view that audit committee is the most important position in monitoring firms’ financial reports. We provide evidence to prove that the direction of the reform of Taiwan’s corporate governance is correct. We also show the reason why Financial Supervisory Commission ask no independent director of a public company may concurrently serve as an independent director of more than three other public companies.

The Farmers’ association is the civil society legal person with the longest history, the most complete organization and the most widespread distribution in Taiwan. In the face of the impact of social trends and changes in the environment. The ability of the peasant association to respond to problems can no longer be conservative and comfortable with the current situation, the trends of trends and environmental variability should be mastered in advance. Actively develop the corresponding programs and strategies and adjust its own constitution. The biggest advantage of the farmers’ association is the relationship of contacts, but if only rely on the relationship and not pay attention to management, you will eventually face elimination. In the end, it will still face elimination. The farmers’ association should understand that its competitors are not farmers’ association in other regions. It is a newly established financial service industry such as a newly established bank, post office and credit cooperative. How to use the existing advantages to differentiate from the market is the current problem. Therefore, this study is based onthe farmer's residence in the Da-liao District of Kaohsiung City as the benchmark,to explore the research on the improvement of the quality of the service of the farmers’ association, and through reading relevant literature to explore the excellent contacts the user's needs and preferences. After analysis and sorting, the five criteria for service quality and the fifteen sub-criteria are summarized.The AHP questionnaire was used to compare and determine the importance of the quality of the service. Empirical results of analysis,in the main principles of the five major facets, to care for conditions ranks highest. Secondly, the order is reliability, tangibility, responsiveness, and certainty.Sorted by overall importance, in the fifteen criteria,the first is professional knowledge, second is the uniformity of the grooming,and third is a density of assets.It can be seen, caring is a key source of improved quality of Farmers’ association’s services.In addition, the most important factor for customers is professional knowledge.It shows that the farmers’ association can only stand up and not be eliminated if it is continuously improved.Finally, based on the conclusions reached by the institute. To provide relevant research topics for follow-up researchers to “improve the quality offarmers’ association service” as a reference.

The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate whether and how audit committee network, as measured by its centrality, affects audit quality. Using a sample of listed firms in China, I summary my findings as follows: First, I find that firms with better-connected audit committee (i.e, higher centrality) have lower discretionary accruals than those with worse-connected audit committee. Second, I find that firms with better-connected committee have less incentive to employ Big4 auditors than those with worse-connected committee. Finally, firms with better-connected committee have lower audit fee relative to those with worse-connected committee. Taken together, I find that audit committee has a positive effect on audit quality.

The Ministry of the Interior reported that Taiwan has become an aged society as the country’s elderly population reached 14%. Physiological changes occur with aging in all organ systems, it will affect eating and digestion and absorption, and it’s easy to cause frailty and cognitive decline. Cognitive frailty was defined simultaneous presence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, it was associated with an evidently high risk of adverse health outcomes, hospitalization and death. A cross-sectional study based on the 2014-2016 National Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan for adults 65 years of age or older. To investigate whether cognitive frailty is associated with dietary quality in Taiwanese elderly population. Dietary quality measures were based on Overall Dietary Index-Revised (ODI-R) and the Dietary Diversity Score (DDS). The results showed that Taiwanese older adults, cognitive frailty prevalence is 34.5%. Elderly with cognitive impairment had significantly higher women, age, frailty, diabetes and obesity, whereas those with lower dietary quality, education, smoking, drink, household income, health status and physical activity. Older adults with a cognitive impairment had lower dietary quality scores and intake frequencies of whole grains, vegetables, fruit, milk, seafood, nut and dietary diversity, along with lower energy intakes, while pickled vegetables were more frequently consumed. If combined cognitive or frailty and dietary quality, poor diet quality was associated with a high risk of cognitive frailty after adjusting for covariates (cognitive with DDS: OR=4.42, 95% CI:2.17-8.98; cognitive with ODI-R: OR=4.41, 95% CI:2.10-4.90; frailty with DDS: OR=2.87, 95% CI:1.42-5.79; frailty with ODI-R: OR=2.76, 95% CI:1.32-5.77). Therefore, elderly should focus on the overall diet quality and dietary diversity. Individuals dietary pattern with more whole grains, vegetables, dairy products, fish, seafood, nut and coffee had a reduced prevalence of cognitive frailty.

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial TechnologiesCivic engagement is believed to be one principle requirement in successful governmental decision making and in turn in realizing deliberation and democracy (Peña-Lopez, 2017; Irvin and Stansbury, 2004). In this study, a state-of-the-art investigation was executed among five civic engagement platforms to decide on the most suitable platform to start building the prototype for the use case of Valencia. The selection was based on the comparison matrix of the specifications elicited from technical project requirements, user suggestions through a survey and a participatory workshop; and adaptability criteria. The selected platform “Communecter” was developed, implemented and deployed on the internet for the validation part for which evaluators from the students of the international master of peace, conflicts and development studies were invited for a validation participatory workshop. Results from the first survey and participatory workshop emphasised the importance of the discussion availability through the platform, possibility of displaying volunteering opportunities and organizing events among a bigger set of functions that are available in the selected platform. The results of the validation show that the current civic engagement platform is a good environment for pursuing civic activities by citizens and associations despite the technical improvements needed and the usability issues. The platform furthermore should be supplemented with other non-technological procedures that will tackle other concerns raised during the study’s participatory workshops including motivation and social & age divide.
