    Thesis (S.M. in Transportation)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2003.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 59).Major trends in the airline industry are analyzed to highlight key dynamics that govern the US domestic air transportation system. The hypothesis is that air travel supply and demand equilibriums, a reliance on outside capital, and intra-industry competition are among the most critical forces that are driving the current restructuring of the airline industry. Data on airline operational and financial performance is used to trace these dynamics as the industry evolved through periods of industry deregulation, an economic growth bubble, and the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001. The thesis identifies the post-deregulation development of hub-and-spoke networks and yield management systems as the key forces that would set the stage for a bifurcation of the air travel market during a cycle of economic growth in the late 1990s. During this bubble economy, the dynamics of supply and demand fundamentally shifted as the major carriers focused on high-revenue, high-cost operations and travelers began to flock to newer low-fare, low-cost carriers. With the end of the economic growth cycle in 2000, the bifurcation of the airline industry began to affect revenues and profits at the major carriers. Massive and unprecedented industry losses would ensue, and would be compounded by the attacks of 9/11. Airline operational strategies in response to 9/11 and longer-term restructuring efforts are discussed in order to further identify the key dynamics affecting the air transportation system. These dynamics are synthesized and then discussed within the broader context of the air transportation system, the impact of air travel on the economy and mobility, and the role of government.by Ryan Aung Min Tam.S.M.in Transportatio

    KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE OF PAP SMEAR AMONG RURAL WOMEN IN KUDAT DISTRICT, SABAH, MALAYSIA AUTHOR’S NAME -MON MON YEEAFFILIATIONS- SOE AUNG, THAN MYINT, SWE, WIN WIN MIN INTRODUCTION-Cervical cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death among women in Malaysia. Cervical cancer screening by using Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is one of the most effective screening methods and it has been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence and mortality from cervical cancer. Pap smear program coverage in Malaysia remains poor and prevalence of cervical cancer remains high. We therefore explored knowledge and practice of Pap smear.OBJECTIVESThe purpose of this study is to assess the knowledge and practice of Pap smear and to provide useful information on awareness of it and to reduce incidence of cervical cancer in Malaysian women.METHODOLOGYThe study is a descriptive cross sectional study. It was conducted among rural women in Kudat district Sabah. A total of 220 married women aged 20-65 years were chosen randomly and interviewed by using self-administered Questionnaires in2012-2013. Written informed consent was taken before interview.RESULTSEighty five percent of the women interviewed have heard about Pap smear, 50.5% have done Pap smear and 57.2% have good knowledge. Women’s age and knowledge of Pap smear were significantly associated p&lt;0.005, Chi square=19.112.Women’s educational level was also significantly associated with knowledge upon Pap smear of studied women P&lt;0.001, Chi2=75.4910. The main barriers were shame (18.2%) and pain (16.4%).CONCLUSIONResults demonstrated that knowledge and women’s beliefs are influential on the habit of having regular Pap smear testing. A well-designed health education program on cervical cancer, barrier specific counseling, and community based interventions would increase the uptake of cervical cancer screening in Malaysian women
