Abstract:

The popularity of running barefoot or in minimalist shoes has notably increased in the last decade due to claims of injury prevention, enhanced running efficiency, and improved performance when compared to running in shoes (shod). A systematic review of the literature was performed using the Downs and Black checklist to assess the methodological quality of studies proposing risks or benefits between running barefoot, shod, or in minimalist shoes.

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of academic assistance programs on at-risk students at the United States Naval Academy.

In particular, the Naval Academy administers a program known as the Midshipmen Group Study Program, which is based on the supplemental instruction model.

The problem of this study was to determine if at-risk students who were enrolled in an educational support class for one hour a day would have an improvement on the four at-risk indicators being measured over students not enrolled in the academic support program.

The hypothesis formulated for this study predicted no significant difference in mean scores of the four measured indicators between groups.

Abstract:

This research study examines the relationship between academic achievement and at-risk students. Many issues today affect the achievement gap and the ability for at-risk students to succeed. Most data, as revealed in the studies included in this review, conclude the factors identifying at-risk students do have significant impact on the academic achievement of individual students and schools. Most often, these students are not successful and eventually drop out of school or pursue a GED. Data indicate that teacher-student relationships, parent or caregiver-student relationships, motivation,

Emotions are ubiquitous in academic settings. However, research on academic emotions is scarce in at-risk student populations.

Using The Control-Value Theory of Academic Emotions as a theoretical framework, the relationships between self-concept, task value, and four academic emotions (enjoyment, boredom, anxiety, and anger) were analyzed. It was expected that self-concept and value would predict academic

Abstract:

This study examined academic motivation and basic psychological needs as predictors of suicidal risk (namely, depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors) in a sample of 348 college students. Results from regression analyses indicated that academic motivation was a significant predictor of suicidal risk. The inclusion of basic psychological needs significantly augmented the prediction model. The authors discuss implications for considering academic motivation and basic psychological needs in college counseling on the basis of the results.

This paper examines how cultural values influence risk premium across the world. Cultural values are measured by four cultural indexes, power distance, uncertainty avoidance index, masculinity index, and individualism index, established by Geert Hofstede. Our methodology determines the risk premium by using the Dividend Discount Model, and then computes the regression analysis of each index's impact on average risk premiums. After analyzing 31 countries, results show the only statistically significant correlation found was between the individualism index and risk premium. The higher the indivi

Abstract:

Many “at risk” students are successful in middle school and high school, and are college bound, despite the fact that they face numerous factors that place them at-risk for academic failure or for dropping out of school. One of the key factors that makes these students unique and academically successful is resiliency. Resiliency is identified as the ability to recover or adjust easily from misfortune or change. Resiliency might also be defined as an individual’s ability to effectively cope with challenges in a stressful environment. However, this definition does not account for those who ar

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the optimal ex-ante mix of self-protection and self-insurance technologies employed to reduce the risk of biological invaders in the presence of exogenous variables within the probability and damage functions. This is accomplished by using a theoretical endogenous risk model that extends previously developed frameworks. This thesis contributes to the previous work in two ways. (1) Employing a general framework with simultaneous decision making over self-protection and self-insurance, this thesis analyzes how each parameter including income, the costs of each activity,

Aim of the study: The study aims to explore and describe how the professional dignity of midwives in the selected hospital can be enhanced. Methodology: A descrip

Abstract:

A statistical model for assessing the risk of subsidence in abandoned mines is presented. The model is based on the relationship that exists between the frequency and location of subsidence events and the physical conditions of the ground. These conditions are described by geological, mining, and physical variables. The model suggests the existence of regions in the multi-dimensional space of variables which can be associated with increases, or decreases, in the frequency of subsidence events. Regions associated with an increase in the frequency of subsidence events correspond to regions of hi
