A MODIFIED CASE STUDY EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC SCHOOL GRADE-LEVEL ORGANIZATIONAL MODELS ON NINTH-GRADE LEARNERS
No full textThis doctoral dissertation represents a qualitative study employing a modified case study research design that is intended to assess the perspectives of school practitioners (i.e., principals, guidance counselors, and teachers) who work with ninth graders relevant to their perceptions of the developmental needs of those students, how their respective schools address those needs, and the effects their schools’ grade-level organizational plans may have on grade nine. This study employs semi-structured interviews, document reviews, and direct observations for data collection. Two case sites were selected for this dissertation—one populated by students in grades nine through twelve (9-12) and another with pupils in grades seven through nine (7-9). Both sites were selected purposefully on the basis of their grade-level configurations, their contemporary and historical relevance to ninth-grade-level education, and their proximity to the principal researcher. Sample groups at each school included 10 practitioners who worked directly with ninth graders within a multitude of professional realms, particularly administration, counseling, and teaching. Upon site selection, building principals were recruited for participation in this study; henceforth, those subjects selected nine other participants of faculty rank based on their professional positions and affiliations with students at the ninth-grade level.
The data seems to indicate that practitioners at the grades 9-12 high school perceive ninth graders differently from that of their counterparts at the grades 7-9 junior high school. The high-school subjects generally describe ninth graders as being immature, whereas participants at the junior high school perceive them the opposite of that. It also appears that participants at the grades 9-12 site lack consensus on the attributes of ninth-grade developmental needs with some questioning the appropriateness and/or legitimacy of four-year high schools for educating students at that grade level, while others ardently support that construct. Conversely, practitioners at the grades 7-9 junior high school seem to be unified in their perspectives on ninth-grade-level development—contending that ninth graders are better educated in junior high schools versus senior high schools and that their school is developmentally appropriate and more suitable for ninth-grade learners
MANOVA modelling of a chiropractic longitudinal study using multiple imputation
No full textThe purpose of this report is to present the detailed statistical analysis of a randomised, placebo-controlled trial comparing two different treatment modalities to an intervention of no known benefit for people with acute or subacute thoracic spine pain.
The therapy arms consist of Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) and Graston Technique (GT) and the placebo is a non-functional ultrasound. A placebo group was utilised because at present there are no proven treatments for non-specific thoracic pain. This trial is registered with the Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry. Ethics approval has been granted by Murdoch University Human Research and Ethics Committee, number 2007/274.
The aim of this three arm trial was to test the efficacy of SMT and GT as independent modalities compared to detuned ultrasound for the outcomes of pain and disability. The latter were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a modified Oswestry Back Pain Disability Index. The study was conducted at the Murdoch University Chiropractic student clinic in Perth, Australia, and the protocol published in Crothers et al (2008).
In this report, Section 2 provides an initial exploratory analysis of the data, Section 3 outlines the statistical models used in the final analysis, Section 4 defines these models in mathematical terms, Section 5 discusses the management of missing values via multiple imputation and Section 6 presents the results of the statistical modelling and hypothesis tests. The clinical study will be published in full elsewhere

TRANSPIRATION RATES AND LEAF BOUNDARY LAYER PARAMETERS FOR PEANUT ANALYZED WITH THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL MODEL 2DLEAF
No full textRates of leaf transpiration and photosynthesis are both affected by the thickness of the boundary layer (BL) and by the rates at which gases diffuse through it. These BL properties are currently impossible to measure and must be estimated by using models in conjunction with measured rates of transpiration. Transpiration rates and BL for two Argentine peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars, Florman INTA, Virginia type, and Manfredi 393 INTA, Spanish type, were studied with the two-dimensional model 2DLEAF which accounts for leaf anatomy, i.e. for leaf internal structure and stomatal density. Measurements on leaf cross-sections and leaf surface images demonstrated a significant difference between two cultivars. Published transpiration rates for peanut of Virginia and Spanish types measured in controlled environment and field conditions were used to determine two parameters of the leaf BL, its thickness, d, and the ratio of diffusion coefficients in the BL and in the intercellular space, B. Both parameters were different for two cultivars. Transpiration rate was presented (a) as a function of BL parameters d and B with four empirical parameters which depended on cultivar and stomatal aperture, and (b) as a function of stomatal aperture and d. Dependence (b) showed that the transpiration rate of Manfredi 393 INTA is higher than that of Florman at the same environmental conditions, and that this is completely due to the difference in leaf anatomy. It was shown that the values of BL thickness, d, grow with increasing stomatal aperture. For amphystomatous leaves of peanut, two empirical parameters, d and B, are necessary and sufficient to quantitatively describe the effect of the BL on transpiration

THE STRUCTURE OF ELECTORAL SUCCESS: DETERMINING VICTORY OR DEFEAT FROM CONTRIBUTION DISPERSION IN STATE LEGISLATIVE RACES
No full textHow does the distribution of contributors to a candidate relate to a candidate’s potential for electoral success? Rather than assume that electoral politics in the United States is a plutocratic exercise, I argue that diversity, or dispersion, in a donor pool is just as valuable to candidate as being well-financed. The candidates who are able to achieve diverse contributor pools are just as likely to win as those with fewer, large donors, due to their increased representational potential. Democratic governance, then, can be supported by candidates with broad sets of contributors; these candidates should be just as likely to win their elections because of the heterogeneity of their contributor bases as the candidates who are funded by a few, wealthy citizens. Hypotheses are tested using a unique data set of 2010 state legislative election contributions and results. Two aspects of dispersion theory, including the geographic spread of contributors across a candidate’s district and early giving, are found to significantly increase candidate vote shares
