Abstract:

There is a debate among researchers and clinicians as to whether the judicious use of safety behaviours (SBs) during exposure therapy is helpful or detrimental. Central to this debate is the premise that SBs may interfere with one’s ability to gather disconfirmatory evidence. However, no study to date has assessed: 1) how SB use may interact with cognitive mechanisms at play during an exposure-like task, or 2) whether it is SBs themselves, or rather, beliefs about SBs that are most important. The two studies outlined in this dissertation sought to investigate the cognitive, emotional, behaviou

This research provides a detailed description of first time drink driving offenders at the time of their court appearance and at follow-up to examine the factors leading to subsequent drink driving. To develop models for behavioural change a novel theoretical application of the Health Action Process Approach was used to determine what enables some offenders to avoid future drink driving. Utilising self-report and official offence records in the follow-up of offenders enabled an in depth exploration of first offender characteristics and drink driving behaviour.

Abstract:

The construction industry is an exciting and community developing industry, but it is also very much talked about because of the high injury frequency that the industry is characterized by. As a part of preventing accidents at work, the employer conducts systematic work environment work to detect risky parts of the work and to remedy these. Despite the elimination of risks at work, accidents and incidents - so-called deviations in the working environment - occur. Deviations in the working environment must be reported immediately to the employer. Within the company that is subject of this study

Abstract In this thesis, adaptive transmission power control algorithms for reliable communication in channels with state are explored and further developed.

These considerations give rise to other information-theoretic notions where the rate of reliable communications is considered a random variable which depends not only on the statistical properties of the chan

Abstract:

Construction is a very deadly industry with Texas having the highest rate of deaths of construction workers of any state. Hispanic workers are at an even higher risk than white, non-Hispanic workers for being injured or killed while working on a construction site. However, traditional materials available through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to train workers in job safety cannot effectively reach the Hispanic construction worker population because of language and educational barriers. This study examines a non-traditional safety training program tailored specifical

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is two-fold. First, to bring forth an understanding of the historical relationship between First Nations people and the formal Canadian education system. Second, to investigate how non-First Nations school social workers perceive their role in supporting First Nations youth within the education system. The first goal is accomplished through a literature review, outlining histories that have shaped how many First Nations youth experience education. Additionally, themes of cultural safety, the role of school social work, and whiteness, are explored. Thus, providing th

Most of investors are usually more concern about the loss to a threshold return. More evidence shows that the rate of return is not normally distributed, but fat-tailed. Due to There are rare data in the tail from historical returns which is easily to underestimate the downside risks. So we use extreme value theory (EVT) to calculate the downside risks. But it is inefficient to use EVT to calculate the

In risk management, Value-at-Risk is a very important tool for financial enterprises. Unfortunely, Value-at-Risk can not find the optimal portfolio because Value-at-Risk doesn’t comform the characteristic of coherent risk measure. People measure the downside risk by Value-at-Risk. In order to avoid the underestimates of downside risk under normal distribution, we estimate the risk by using the tail distribution. But the history data is not enough and we want establish the

It caused the price of the stock to fall globally. The investors cared about the risk more than the maximum return. Therefore, the investors more concerned about the management of risk than pursue the maximum rate of return. Value-at-Risk is the most common tool to calculate the risk. Traditionally, normal distribution is used to fit the whole data, but the study says it would be easy to underesti

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background. A wealth of data highlights the health disparities and barriers to health care experienced by Aboriginal women and children when compared to non-Aboriginal women and children. The first thousand days time period, from conception to the age of two, is an opportunity for health professionals to positively impact the health of Aboriginal children with effects lasting into adulthood. Cultural safety has been reported to improve access to health care for Aboriginal Canadians, but little is known about the significance of cultural safety from the perspective of Aboriginal women

Abstract:

This study evaluates how a decision-maker (such as a farmer) facing output price risk might use futures contracts and or option contracts on those futures to hedge against any potential financial risk attributed to volatile output prices. Two behavioral models are assumed in this study. One where the decision-maker behaves as an expected utility maximizer and one where the decisions made are based upon safety-first rules. The expected utility model in this study is based on the general utility function defined in an article by Lapan, Moschini, and Hanson (1991). The safety-first model i
