Abstract:

Qualified and capable working age autistics face an 83% unemployment rate, thus, straining the economy and deteriorating their quality of life. This research examines potential contributing factors by inquiring what hiring agents' beliefs may be influencing their selection of qualified autistic candidates. This quantitatively weighted, concurrent, mixed methods (QUAN > qual), multiple linear regression study measured the influence of hiring agents' control, normative, and behavioral beliefs upon their selection of qualified autistic candidates.

Research has shown a relationship between having a strict father upbringing, defined by rules reinforcement and self-discipline beliefs, and the presence of high levels of social dominance orientation (SDO) and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA). The relationship between these variables and issue choice has been established, but no study has explored the connection between parental upbringing and moral foundations. Furthermore, the connection to political candidate choice has not been shown. This study investigated the relationship between people's parental upbringing beliefs, their adult moral

High rates of turnover among truck drivers in the United States limit the abilities of organizations to effectively move freight if organizational leaders cannot efficiently and economically replace drivers. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship among compensation, benefits, intrinsic motivators, and potential referral recruiting in transportation organizations. Herzberg’s 2-factor theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Secondary data were collected for 566 Class A truck drivers from an Illinois-based partner organization’s 2018 employee satisfac

This was a study that focused on the development of a quantitative instrument that measures the dispositions of teacher education candidates as articulated by the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (1991). To examine reliability, the statistical analysis included intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient estimates. Validity evidence based on test content and internal structure was examined. The subject pool for each pilot test was formed from matched pairs of student teachers and their assigned college or university supervisors. Th

This dissertation examines the experiences of clergy who have run for elected office. Previous research has examined the political behavior of clergy and why those in other professions have run for office. This dissertation is the first study of clergy who have run for office. I find that most of the interviewees view service in elective office as a civic duty rather than as an opportunity to create a polity that reflects their personal religious convictions. I collected data on 217 clergy who ran for office from 1980 to 2016 and interviewed 17 individuals sampled from that population. Intervi

As achievement gaps for indigenous, low SES, and ethnically diverse students widen, teacher education programs in Hawaii continue to be charged with preparing teachers to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population.

I examined stereotypes of major/non-major political parties, and how party affiliation affects whether stereotypes about men/male politicians/women/female politicians predict female politicians’ traits.

Abstract:

As presidential candidates rhetorically articulate their beliefs during presidential debates, they reveal a lot about their underlying ideological beliefs.

In this study, the belief trends of the Operational Codes of all presidential candidates from 1976-2012 were examined through a rhetorical lens, and it was found that rhetoric was indeed the driving force for the apparent changes in Operati

Thesis (MScMedSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a multifactorial disorder, with substantial evidence for a genetic contribution. Although genetic association studies have been conducted to identify vulnerability factors in PTSD, the results remain largely inconsistent. Identifying ligands of proteins that are involved in the aetiology of PTSD represents a means of delineating the network of interactions that may play a role in the development of the disorder. Numerous animal studies have identified the Wolframin protein (WFS1)

Abstract:

Although more women are successfully breaching the social, economic and political barriers that can prevent them from participating as electoral candidates, few women campaign for elected office. A dearth of female candidates may be understandable, given research demonstrating that women tend to avoid competition and competitive environments. Thus, elections – competitive by design – may attract fewer women than men. This thesis posits that the inherent competitiveness of electoral politics may deter women from campaigning for office. However, this work also forwards that competitive sport soc

Abstract:

Les nanomatériaux sont utilisés dans de nombreux secteurs industriels, et plusieurs produits de consommation contenant des nanomatériaux sont d’ores et déjà commercialisés. Dans ce contexte d’exposition humaine croissante aux nanomatériaux, l’évaluation de leur potentiel génotoxique est d’une importance significative. Cependant, la pertinence des tests classiques de génotoxicité, développés pour des produits non nanoparticulaires, est fréquemment remise en question pour l’évaluation des nanomatériaux. Un témoin positif de référence sous forme nanoparticulaire pourrait donc constituer une avanc

Thesis (MSc (Biochemistry))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The ostrich industry in South Africa is currently threatened by respiratory disease in feedlot ostriches which causes a dramatic loss in production. Ms01, Ms02 and Ms03 were identified as the three ostrichspecific mycoplasmas to be associated with this respiratory disease in ostriches of South Africa. The ostrich-specific mycoplasmas have a major impact on ostrich production and for this reason there is a serious need for treatment for these infections. For this reason, the ostrich industry has undertaken

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to use elements for developing teacher identity, personal philosophy, beliefs about teaching and learning, and reflection to frame an examination of the effect of Positive-Attitude Cues (PACs) on teacher candidates’(n = 135) mathematics anxiety and expressive writing. Participants were randomly assigned to a treatment (PACs) or control group (No-PAC) and their dispositions about mathematics were examined using the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS-R); which had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96 and an expressive writing task before and after the intervention

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Progressive familial heart block type I (PFHBI) is a cardiac ventricular conduction disorder of unknown cause associated with risk of sudden death, which has been described in several South African families. Clinically, PFHBI is characterised by right bundle branch block on ECG, which may progress to complete heart block, necessitating pacemaker implantation. The disease shows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with evidence of genetic anticipation. Using genetic linkage analysis, the PFHBI-causative gene was map
