Abstract:

Tax compliance is assumed to be shaped by three main motivations to comply: enforced, voluntary, and committed motivation. Taxpayers, who hold an enforced motivation to comply, only pay taxes because of audits and fines for non-compliance. Voluntary motivated taxpayers respect the law and pay taxes because it is the easiest option. Committed motivation represents an intrinsic motivation, whereby taxpayers feel a moral obligation and responsibility to be honest. However, little and inconsistent empirical research exists on the relationship between motivations and tax compliance. The present pap

Abstract:

Increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviour are important targets in the prevention of chronic diseases. The current evidence, which is based on self-reported measures, shows low levels of physical activity in Maltese children. In the absence of objective data on a nationally representative sample of Maltese children, there is no evidence on which to base policies and no baseline data to monitor changes following interventions. Furthermore, Maltese children are considered to be amongst the most obese in the world. However, statistics are also based on self-report. The aim of

Abstract:

This paper explores an emerging construct: relationship hope. I define relationship hope as when individuals feel that regardless of the current quality of the relationship, there is significant hope for the relationship in the future if they keep working on it. The Relationship Hope Scale (RHS) is a new five-item scale that measures this construct. I evaluated the psychometric properties of RHS with Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT). I used a nationally representative sample of married individuals, ages 25-50 years old, in the United States. I found that RHS performs

Machine based face recognition is an important area of research that has attracted significant attention over the past few decades. Recently, multilinear models of face images have gained prominence as an alternative method for face recognition. Against linear techniques, multilinear models offer the advantage of having more complex models. Against kernel and manifold based non-linear techniques, the advantage lies in having more intuitive and computationally frugal modelling.

Abstract:

Introduction: Drug dependence is a chronic medical illness that often requires multiple treatment episodes and the use of health services. However, patterns related to substance use and abuse treatment are not well known. Two critical factors that have not been explored in relation to the number of prior substance use treatment episodes (PSUTEs) are multiple age groups and waiting periods. Hence, the first aim of this study was to examine if the frequency of prior substance use treatment episodes varies by different age categories. The second aim was to assess the extent to which the waiting p

BACKGROUND. In contrast to the abundant literature on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adults, few studies focused on children and adolescents. Ongoing issues in PTSD research in youths are 1) the insufficient specificity of DSM Criterion A, 2) the lack of support for a unique relationship between trauma and PTSD, 3) PTSD phenotypic heterogeneity, 4) the non-specificity of PTSD symptom, 5) the high rates of comorbid disorders, 6) the inclusion of dimensional scaling of PTSD in DSM-V, and 6) differential item functioning of PTSD critieria. OBJECTIVES. The overall aim of this work is to

Abstract:

Rates of obesity are predicted to increase, which is worrying given the association with adverse health outcomes. Cost of food or diet is one proposed contributor to an ‘obesogenic environment’. The “food price-obesity hypothesis” supposes that, with limited purchasing power, consumers may purchase energy-dense foods to obtain the maximum calories, resulting in excess energy intake. This thesis attempts to gauge whether obesity may be attributed to food prices. Firstly, the published literature was synthesised. Secondly, the study examined how income and cost of diet are implicated in excess e

Abstract:

This thesis discusses two aspects of spatial statistics: sampling and prediction. In spatial statistics, we observe some phenomena in space. Space is typically of two or three dimensions, but can be of higher dimension. Questions in mind could be; What is the total amount of gold in a gold-mine? How much precipitation could we expect in a specific unobserved location? What is the total tree volume in a forest area? In spatial sampling the aim is to estimate global quantities, such as population totals, based on samples of locations (papers III and IV). In spatial prediction the aim is to estim

Abstract:

The main aim of this master's thesis is to describe the subject of the implementation of decision boundaries with the help of artificial neural networks. The objective is to present theoretical knowledge concerning this field and on practical examples prove these statements. The work contains basic theoretical description of the field of pattern recognition and the field of feature based representation of objects. A classificator working on the basis of Bayes decision is presented in this part, and other types of classificators are named as well. The work then deals with artificial neural netw

Abstract:

There is a growing demand for studies applying quantitative methods to large-scale data sets for the purpose of evaluating the effects of educational reforms (UVK, 2010). In this thesis the statistical method, Propensity Score Analysis (PSA), is presented and explored in the evaluating context of an extensive educational initiative within science and technology education; the Science and Technology for All-program (NTA). The research question put forward reads; under what conditions are PSA-analyses a useful method when measuring the effects from a school improvement initiative in S & T? T
