Sweethearting, a study of infidelity among married males and females in the commonwealth of the Bahamas, 1999
Get PDFThe present study had four objectives. First, to ascertain whether or not a group of independent variables, namely, cultural support, marital satisfaction, religious commitment, financial resources, health risks/concerns, history of infidelity, consequences/impact on marriages, age, and gender, were related to sweethearting. Secondly, to investigate the attitudes and behaviors of married males and females in the Bahamas with regard to infidelity. The third objective was to examine the opinions of married Bahamians in reference to this behavior on marriages. The final objective was to obtain feedback from married males and females in the Bahamas regarding what social changes they considered necessary to prevent sweethearting/infidelity. A relational research design was selected in order to address the aforementioned objectives. An anonymous, self administered questionnaire which consisted of thirty eight items was administered to one hundred and forty four participants. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was employed to perform the following statistical procedures: Multiple Regression and Chi square. In addition, descriptive statistics were generated to summarize and organize the data. Multiple Regression analysis revealed that six of the nine independent variables were significant predictors of sweethearting/infidelity among married Bahamians.These variables included: history of infidelity, cultural support, consequences/impact on marriages, health risks, religious commitment and marital satisfaction. Similar results were also obtained for Chi square analyses, and gender was significantly related to various measures of infidelity: history of infidelity, including number of sexual partners and length of extramarital relationship. Additionally, descriptive statistics indicated that most of the participants disapproved of infidelity for both males and females, and they considered this behavior to be destructive to marriages. The final objective to be addressed focused on feedback from participants regarding social changes they considered necessary to prevent sweethearting. While a small proportion of the sample felt nothing could be done, most of the participants were optimistic it could be prevented
Catalyst design for the upgrading of heavy oil under mild hydrocracking conditions, 1998
Get PDFCrystalline large pore, metal substituted aluminophosphate molecular sieve catalysts of the MeAPO 36 topology, containing divalent forms of Co, Mg and Zn with similar molar compositions, were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized. Investigations on crystallinity, thermal stability, acidic properties and surface area of the MeAPO 36s were carried out. The catalysts were shown to preserve their crystallinity after they were incorporated into y alumina pellets. The catalytic activities of the NiMo/MeAPO 36 supported on y alumina were evaluated for the hydrocracking of gas oil under mild hydrocracking conditions by using high temperature/high pressure (HT/HP) reactor at 400 C and 5.5 MPa hydrogen partial pressure. The performances of the catalysts were compared by determining their activity for the conversion of the gas oil towards naphtha and middle distillates. The catalysts showed potential activity, with CoAPO 36 exhibiting higher activity than MgAPO 36 and ZnAPO 36. The net percentage conversions obtained under the given conditions were 71.3, 60.8, and 58.6 wt % for CoAPO 36, MgAPO 36 and ZnAPO 36, respectively
