▼ The purpose of this study is to identify factors that support the likelihood of
persistence of academically underprepared community college students to 45 college level credits. Factors considered in this research include: (a) race/ethnicity, (b) age, (c) enrollment status, (d) socio-economic status (SES), (e) first quarter GPA, (f) developmental need, (g) participation in a learning community, and (h) completion of a first year seminar course.
The population of students used for the purposes of this research was a cohort of first time, full and part-time, community college students enrolled in associate degree pre-baccalaureate programs of study at Tacoma Community College during Fall quarter 2005. Students in this cohort placed below college level in mathematics, reading or English. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the existence, direction and strength of the relationships between each of the independent variables and the dependent variable the completion of 45 college credits.
Findings from this study indicate that enrollment status, specifically full-time enrollment and first quarter GPA, both had statistically significant positive relationships to
persistence of academically underprepared students at the community college. Although this research only identifies only two elements as having statistically significant relationships to the completion of 45 credits the data does indicate several other variables with high odds ratios that suggest a possibility that they influence the
persistence of
academically underprepared students and should be considered by practitioners at community colleges.

▼ This dissertation is constituted of three distinct
chapters. The first two study the information role of sell-side
analysts from two specific angles of attack. The first chapter
focuses on the investment value of target prices. Based on a sample
of more than 590’000 expected return revisions over the 1999-2011
period, I construct tercile portfolios that buy (sell) stocks with
the highest (lowest) expected return revisions. The strategy
initiated at the end of announcement day and held for a month that
is long the highest tercile and short the lowest tercile yields a
risk-adjusted performance of 0.48% per month. Similar results are
obtained when the expected return revisions are industry or market
adjusted. The risk-adjusted return remains significant if the
position is initiated five days after the announcement (0.29% per
month). Given the high number of target price revisions, I identify
ex-ante likely valuable target prices. The risk-adjusted
performance of the portfolio based on this subset increases to
0.81%. The downside exposures to SMB and MOM factors are negative
and statistically significant at the 1% and 5% level, respectively.
I demonstrate that more weight is given to pro cyclical (neutral)
stocks when the expected probability of recession is low (high).
Finally, we show that the results are not driven by firm specific
events, post earnings announcement drift (PEAD), limited investors’
attention or illiquid stocks. In the second chapter I
analyze the information conveyed by analysts’ research and how it
is perceived by investors. I introduce a methodology that
disentangles the information conveyed through analysts’ target
prices according to its availability and scope. The purpose is to
investigate if investors correctly interpret analysts’ research by
analyzing whether there is correspondence between investors’
reaction and the type of information conveyed through analysts. The
empirical results provide evidence that investors duly process
analysts’ research and appropriately incorporate this information
into prices. Indeed, public information is not associated with any
abnormal return, whereas private information is. Moreover, the
reaction to firm-specific private information is confined to the
firm analyzed, but industry-wide private information is associated
with a reaction that spreads to the whole industry. The
decomposition also shows that target prices are based on an equal
amount of private and public information, and that private
information is mostly firm-specific. In the last chapter
I turn my attention to hedge fund managers, a category of
sophisticated users of analysts’ research. More specifically, I
analyze how the remuneration structure of hedge funds affects the
performance to investors to rationalize the persistent abnormal
performance of hedge funds. I show that when managers expect to
receive a performance fee payment, the commitment to deliver an
absolute return, the decreasing returns to scale to which hedge
fund strategies are
subject, and the performance-linked…

▼ In this thesis I defend a semantic claim about the
persistence of material objects through time commonly termed perdurantism. I first motivate the shared metaphysical background, in particular the theses of eternalism and four-dimensionalism, shared by perdurantism and its competitors. I then argue that problems with counting and the predication of historical properties tell against stage theory, while unacceptable metaphysical commitments are fatal to the ambiguity theory. Perdurantism, on the other hand, can, by an appeal to counterpart theory of modality de re, answer the problem of permanently co-located entities.

▼ The main goal of this thesis is to explore various
applications of persistent homology in statistical analysis of
point-cloud data. In the introduction, after a brief historical
overview, we provide some of the underlying concepts of
persistence. Starting from Chapter 2 the focus is on analysis of
point-clouds sampled from a surface of a torus and a sphere; our
first exploratory tool is a homology plot. In Chapter 3 we
calculate the Wasserstein distances in order to visualize existing
relationships among samples of data. Chapter 4 introduces a new
approach in topological statistical inference, based on the notion
of persistence landscapes. In Chapter 5 the method of persistence
landscapes is applied to non-perturbed data; following that, data
in Chapter 6 involve a component of noise which allows us to
demonstrate the efficiency of the new method. To test hypotheses,
we implement suitable permutation tests. Last but not least, in
Chapter 7 we work with real data of samples of HIV-1 protease some
of which feature drug resistance. We truly hope that with the
results presented, we offer convincing evidence that testifies in
favor of applications of topology in statistical data
analysis.

▼ While an abundance of literature addresses undergraduate students? lack of success in engineering programs, fewer studies examine the
persistence of minority females, especially of Latinas in such a male-dominated discipline. This study employed a qualitative method of inquiry to gain insight into the perceptions of social support networks and climate in the
persistence of eleven Latinas pursuing an undergraduate engineering degree at two research-extensive universities.
The study, ultimately, concluded that participants utilized various systems of support (e.g., fathers and family, peers, and student organizations) to aid in their sense of belonging, which essentially influenced their decision to persist. Additionally, the study found that Latinas encountered various levels of hostile climates (e.g., institutional, departmental, classroom, student organizations, and internships) throughout their undergraduate experience. Lastly, the study concluded that several participants had to grapple with the idea of gender and what that means within a male-dominated discipline. While the findings from this study added to the literature on the perceptions of social support networks and climate in the
persistence of Latinas pursuing an undergraduate engineering degree, further qualitative studies that examine the role of fathers, the conceptualization of gender by female engineers, the coping mechanisms employed to mediate gender discrimination, and the reasons for the lack of entry to the STEM workforce are warranted.

▼ Workers often encounter temptations that entice them to withdraw their effort from assigned work tasks and pursue counterproductive goals. Studies have shown that failure to resist such temptations collectively costs organizations billions of dollars each year in lost productivity and additional expenses (Bennett & Robinson, 2000). Ego-depletion theory posits that an individuals’ ability to resist temptations is dependent on a limited pool of self-regulatory resources that is expended whenever an individual exerts self-control (Muraven & Baumeister, 2000). While much research has examined how individuals expend resources, little research has examined how individuals can replenish resources in order to resist further temptations (Hagger, Wood, Stiff, & Chatzisarantis, 2010). This dissertation examines whether humor, a phenomenon highly recommended by business consultants as being energizing (Kanter, 2010), can help individuals persist at assigned work tasks and resist the temptation to engage in counterproductive behavior. In addition, the studies in this dissertation also examine one mechanism by which humor increases
persistence along with how different types of humor and individual differences in humor style interact to influence its outcomes. Five experimental studies are reported. Study 1 examined the effects of humor and found that those who experienced humor persisted significantly longer than others at an assigned task. In addition, the discrete emotion of amusement mediated the positive relationship between humor and
persistence. Study 2 replicated the findings of Study 1 and found that those high in self-enhancing humor style persisted longer when experiencing humor than those low in self-enhancing humor style. Study 3 found that exposure to self-deprecating humor generally results in greater levels of
persistence. However, those high in self-defeating humor style did not show any significant increase in
persistence when experiencing self-deprecating humor. Studies 4 and 5 examined aggressive humor and found that aggressive humor in general led to a significant increase in
persistence. It also found that those low in aggressive humor style did not persist longer at assigned tasks. In addition, those who were high in aggressive humor style who laughed at others were more likely to engage in cheating behavior. Implications for research, practice and future directions are discussed.

▼ Background: Academic advising can be an effective intervention for students needing guidance through their academic programs. At this point, we are unsure how academic advising affects the success of students who bring different pre-enrollment academic experiences. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to better understand the factors associated with success of transfer and dual-credit students in order to help inform efforts to improve university-wide advising practices. Therefore, these analyses attempted to identify individual- and college-level factors influencing the likelihood that FTIC, transfer, and dual-credit students will persist from their first to second year and the likelihood that they will graduate. Methods: The outcomes of interest in this study are dichotomous indicators of student success (retention and graduation). Therefore, a Hierarchical Generalized Linear Model was used to estimate the probability (φ) that a student from the 2012 cohort graduated conditioned on a set of fixed effects at the individual (β) and college (γ) levels. Logistic regression was used to determine whether student retention from the first to second year was influenced by student demographics, college designation, academic advising attendance, and other background characteristics. Finally, multiple regression was used to determine whether cohort 2015 students’ cumulative first year GPA was influenced by student characteristics and behaviors. Results: HLM results indicated that college-level factors percentage of transfer students and percentage of students at high academic risk, as well as multiple student-level variables including academic advising contact were strong predictors of student graduation. Logistic regression revealed that increased academic advising contact, transfer designation and full-time enrollment status, among other variables, were likely to predict
persistence to second year. Finally, multiple regression results indicated that academic advising contact and other variables were associated with first-year GPA. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the importance of academic advising contact within colleges and the researcher suggests changes to advising practice and ideas for future
research.

▼ The service sector is an important and consistently growing sector of the world economy. It is estimated that the sector will make up two thirds of the total world Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Information Technology (IT) has been an important contributor to the fast and high grow of the sector by increasingly digitising the production, delivery and use of services. IT has enabled multiple parties, including user support service staff, employees (internal IT users) and customers (external IT users) of an organisation, to engage in the production, delivery and use of digital services. Consequently, both users and user support service staff of the organisations have an increased responsibility to both prevent IT problems from occurring, and solve them when they do occur. Problems with ITs can occur at different stages of a digital service value chain (i.e. sequential steps/stages required to produce and deliver a digital service), and may lead to a service failure in the user’s mind. Examples include problems with a self-check-out machine at a library, problems with an online registration system that occurs for university students, or a website that does not include an online payment functionality a user expects. Numerous studies in both Information Systems (IS) and service literature have focused on the role of the service staff in both preventing and solving digital service failures, but few have considered the user’s role in these.
This thesis includes four original articles. The first article emphasises that prevention from digital service failures must be considered before establishing effective approaches to solving the problems. The article presents a typology of technologies and technological approaches that customers and businesses can use to support prevention from these failures. The rest of the articles consider situations where an IT-related service problem has occurred, and address the user’s behaviour of
persistence in solving their own IT problem. From the user’s perspective, their
persistence in solving the problem contributes to achieving a satisfactory outcome, and from the organisational perspective, such an outcome is important for maintaining their user satisfaction. User
persistence is important both when trying to solve an IT problem alone, and when using support services. Studying user
persistence can help organisations to design their user support services in a way that encourages user
persistence, resolves the problems more efficiently and cheaply; and maintains their user satisfaction. The study of user
persistence included the use of focus groups for data collection purposes. Surprisingly, qualitative methodology literature has little to say on analytical approaches to focus group data – particularly interactive participant data. Therefore, a focus group analysis framework was designed (presented in the second article) and was used in the analysis phase of the user
persistence study. The third article uses the framework in its analysis phase, and (a) presents a conceptual clarification of…

▼ In the U.S., the growth of students taking online courses has outpaced the growth of the overall higher education student body as illustrated in a 2014 report by Allen and Seaman. Master of public health (MPH) programs that are delivered fully (or partially) online provide an opportunity for public health professionals who do not have formal training–and who cannot leave their job–to get the academic training and credential that is needed to do their jobs effectively.
Using the Composite
Persistence Model by Rovai, this mixed methods study examined predictors of student success in a distance-learning MPH program. The research questions included were a) What are the predictors of student success in an online hybrid program of study, where success is defined by students’ program standing? and b) What were the experiences of students with good and bad program standing?
Key findings from the regression analysis indicate that those who were more likely to be in good standing were female, white/Asian, Applied Epidemiology majors, enrolled fulltime, or began the program in fall 2012. Additionally, for every unit of increase in GPA at the fifth semester, the probability of being in good standing increased 12%.
To further understand the experiences of students, 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from four groups (successful predictors – good standing, successful predictors – bad standing, upward achievement cases, downward achievement cases). An examination of the interview data suggests that five factors appear to distinguish the interview groups: a) alignment between program expectations and experience, b) support from place of employment, c) finances, d) experience at on-campus sessions, and e) alignment between learning and teaching styles.
A version of Rovai’s model–revised for a professional graduate population–is presented. Recommendations for practice and areas of future research are also included.
A better understanding of the student experience, allows institutions of higher education–including schools and programs of public health–to target those individuals who are more likely to succeed; and provide resources to those students who have enrolled but are at risk for not completing their programs of study.

▼ E. coli contamination in surface waters is a universal issue that signifies increased risks to human health. Understanding E. coli fate, transport, sources, and distribution in watersheds is critical for reducing these risks. This study assessed E. coli fate in simulated mesocosms constructed using unaltered creek water and sediments with variable nutrient and flow treatments. E. coli concentrations in soil and runoff from small upland watersheds were used to assess transport and distribution while bacterial source tracking determined its sources.
Nutrient amendments and flow rate changes did not significantly alter E. coli fate in water or sediments but produced visible differences in some scenarios. Nutrient amendments representing irrigation runoff and wastewater spills did not produce discernable E. coli decay rate changes in water but marginally decreased observed decay rates in sediments. Alternatively, nutrient amendments affected heterotrophic bacteria decay and growth in water and sediments. Median heterotrophic bacteria decay and growth constant slopes were not significantly different between treatments and control, but were significantly different than median E. coli constant slopes during the initial growth phase suggesting that they outcompeted E. coli for available nutrient resources. E. coli concentrations were modeled with measured water quality parameters demonstrating that they could be predicted from independent variables including turbidity, specific conductivity, nitrate, ammonia, and orthophosphorus.
Watershed land use and cover significantly affected runoff and soil E. coli concentrations, runoff E. coli loads, and sediment concentrations and loads but not runoff volume. Within land uses, soil E. coli loads were significantly less than runoff E. coli loads suggesting that fecal deposition dominates loading in runoff. Wildlife contributed most runoff and soil E. coli, but livestock, humans and pets were also identified E. coli source contributors. Significant E. coli source composition differences were identified between watersheds in runoff but not soils. Grassed watersheds exhibited significant source composition differences between soil and runoff but this was not observed in cropland.

▼ The Hispanic population is the fastest growing population in the United States. Mexicans, who represent the largest Hispanic ethnicity, are also the most undereducated. Mexican women struggle between their roles as housewives and their desire to complete a higher education degree in order to improve their lives. The purpose of this study was to examine the internal (personal) and external (institutional) factors that influence female Mexican GED graduates?
persistence in completing associate?s degrees at a community college in southeast Texas.
A basic interpretive approach was employed to frame this study and to collect and analyze data. The sample consisted of twelve female Mexican GED graduates in their second year of postsecondary education. Additionally, two secondary sources were used to collect data for the study: interviews with two academic counselors from the institution, and institutional data showing student demographics. A thematic approach was utilized to analyze data from the audio-recorded and transcribed interviews.
The findings revealed that the institution played a significant role in facilitating the female Mexican GED graduates? completion of their degrees. Supportive teachers, services such as counseling, and financial aid all had a strong impact on the participants?
persistence. The findings also showed that pregnancies at an early age caused major setbacks in connection with their educational pursuits. Yet the participants also pointed out the support they received from parents and other family members. While many of the participants? parents did not themselves have high school diplomas, they had made education a priority for their daughters. A fourth finding suggests that the individual resilience of the participants played a significant role in their educational perseverance. The women in this study showed remarkable resilience in response to the many barriers they faced, overcoming these in order to remain in school through degree completion.
The overall findings show that Mexican women who immigrate to the United States face significant obstacles with respect to earning their two-year college degrees. However, some of these women managed to complete their education by relying on supportive teachers, services, and family members. Most importantly, those who reached their educational goals showed great personal resilience and motivation to persist in order to provide a better life for themselves and their children.

▼ This study is about medical pluralism in Addis
Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia with the intention to
understand its persistence and dynamism. I reviewed secondary data
for conceptual framework and conducted fieldwork between July, 2011
and August, 2012 to get access to firsthand information on medical
pluralism in the city. This study reveals that there has been a
growing diversity in the practice of medical pluralism based on
different assumptions of health, illness and healing in the study
area despite the absence of impartial health policy. Patients of
different socio-economic status in the city as well as from far
distant places make visit to these plural medical practices. The
patients use the services of medical pluralism either
simultaneously or in patterns of resort. The satisfaction with the
treatment outcomes at one of the health service centers, the
severity of the illness (whether acute or chronic), the perceived
causes of the illness by patients and close relatives and the
affordability of the service in the case of biomedicine in private
practice are the major factors at work behind the patterns of
resort by patients. The official relation between biomedicine and
others is largely dominative and to a limited extent
complementary.While indigenous traditional herbalists and
non-indigenous alternative medicine complement their practice with
biomedicine, biomedicine marginalizes indigenous traditional and
non-indigenous alternative medicine. Exception to this
marginalization is a rare circumstance where an individual private
biomedical clinic owner allows acupuncture to complement
biomedicine within the compound of biomedical clinic. The changes
of modus operandi by traditional healers and the increasing
diversity medical traditions in the pluralistic medical practices
do not appear to extend so much to the changes of the ideas of
health, illness and healing by each medical tradition. The
externalizing discourse that locate the origin of illness outside
the human body

Seasonal Dynamics and Relative Persistence Potential of the

▼ Human enteroviruses (EV) are a large group of enteric
pathogens containing approximately 104 serotypes, which cluster
into four different species (EV-A-D). They can be transmitted from
infected to susceptible individuals via a person-to-person route,
contaminated food and water used for recreation, shellfish
harvesting, or drinking. Assessments of public health risk due to
exposure to waterborne enteroviruses require, in part, an
understanding of the levels of these pathogens in water sources.
Two key factors in determining their occurrence in water are 1)
knowing the extent of the diversity of this group present in a
particular water source and 2) the ability of individual members to
persist in water. Data published to date regarding presence and
persistence potential of enteroviruses has been limited to
poliovirus, and members of one of the four enterovirus species,
leaving the majority of serotypes uncharacterized. The objectives
for this project were to assess the diversity of enteroviruses
present in wastewater and evaluate the influence that the
persistence potential may have on the diversity profile. Towards
this end, a method to concentrate representative enterovirus
species was identified and determined to equally recover
enterovirus species from primary effluent of wastewater. This
method was then applied to monthly wastewater samples collected
locally over a one year period for deep sequencing of enteroviruses
present. This culture-independent, next-generation sequencing
approach allowed for hundreds to thousands of enterovirus genomic
sequences in each sample to be identified. Analysis of these
sequences revealed that members of EV-A, EV-B and EV-C are present
in each month of the year, while EV-D is present sporadically. EV-C
is present in relatively low abundance year-round, while EV-A and
EV-B alternate in predominance in a pattern that coincides with
season. Investigation into the
persistence potential of
enteroviruses in wastewater shows that
persistence cannot be
described by species, but is serotype dependent. Poliovirus (EV-C)
and enterovirus 70 (EV-D) were observed to be most persistent,
while CVA10 (EV-A) was least persistent. The members of EV-B
examined (CVA9, CVB1 and echovirus 30) showed moderate levels of
persistence. The work described here provides a new perspective of
the diversity profile of enterovirus present in wastewater and
begins to decode the relative
persistence potential of, until now,
unrepresented members.

▼ ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to identify the
predictors of persistence among students who successfully completed
the requirements for associate degree nursing programs in the Lone
Star Community College System. The Bean and Metzner model of
nontraditional undergraduate student attrition provided the
underlying theoretical framework for this study. Subjects were a
convenience sample of 215 nursing students aged 18 to 59 years old
(M = 31.54) who had enrolled in the ADN programs offered by the
five colleges in the college system in 2004. Research questions
explored the relationships among demographic, financial, and
academic variables, and program completion. A data collection sheet
was designed to facilitate the systematic collection of data for
each student in the study. Data were gathered, abstracted, or
computed from several sources. Information was obtained from
individual student files, class records, college transcripts, and
institutional records. Data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics, Chi-square, t-tests, and backward stepwise logistic
regression. Race/ethnicity, financial aid, cumulative pre-requisite
grade point average, combined with HESI math and reading
comprehension scores, English, psychology, and biology grades were
shown to significantly predict the successful completion of the ADN
program. Students of White-Non-Hispanic origin were more likely
than students of a different race/ethnicity to successfully
complete the nursing program. Students who successfully completed
the nursing program had higher scores on both components of the
HESI test, higher academic GPAs for all courses, and higher
cumulative pre-requisite grade point averages than students who did
not complete the program. Furthermore, students who received some
form of financial aid were more likely to successfully complete the
nursing program than were students who had not received financial
assistance. Cumulative pre-requisite grade point average, HESI
reading comprehension score, and Biology 2402 GPA predicted program
completion. Cumulative pre-requisite grade point average was the
strongest predictor of program completion. Based on study results,
administrators and faculty should work together to design and
implement an institution-specific comprehensive retention plan with
suitable interventions. Further research could build on study
findings by replicating this research as closely as possible,
controlling for other environmental factors such as family
responsibilities, employment status, and social
support.

▼ This research study aimed to expand our understanding of the factors that influence student persistence in engineering. The unique experiences of engineering students were examined as they transitioned into and navigated their first year of college at a public research university in California. Most students provided similar responses with respect to the way they experienced the transition to college and social life. There was, however, wide student response variation regarding their experience of academic life and academic policies, as well as in their level of pre-college academic preparation and financial circumstances. One key finding was that students’ experiences during the first year of college varied widely based on the extent to which they had acquired organizational and learning skills prior to college. The study used a mixed methods approach. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through an online survey and one-on-one interviews conducted with freshman students near the end of their first year of college. The theoretical foundations of this study included Astin’s Theory of Student Involvement and Tinto’s Theory of Student Departure. The design of the study was guided by these theories which emphasize the critical importance of student involvement with the academic and social aspects of college during the first year of college.

▼ Applications are subject of a continuous evolution process with a profound impact on their underlining data model, hence requiring frequent updates in the applications' class structure and database structure as well.
This twofold problem, schema evolution and instance adaptation, usually known as database evolution, is addressed in this thesis. Additionally, we address concurrency and error recovery problems with a novel meta-model and its aspect-oriented implementation.
Modern object-oriented databases provide features that help programmers deal with object persistence, as well as all related problems such as database evolution, concurrency and error handling.
In most systems there are transparent mechanisms to address these problems, nonetheless the database evolution problem still requires some human intervention, which consumes much of programmers' and database administrators' work effort.
Earlier research works have demonstrated that aspect-oriented programming (AOP) techniques enable the development of flexible and pluggable systems.
In these earlier works, the schema evolution and the instance adaptation problems were addressed as database management concerns.
However, none of this research was focused on orthogonal persistent systems.
We argue that AOP techniques are well suited to address these problems in orthogonal persistent systems.
Regarding the concurrency and error recovery, earlier research showed that only syntactic obliviousness between the base program and aspects is possible.
Our meta-model and framework follow an aspect-oriented approach focused on the object-oriented orthogonal persistent context.
The proposed meta-model is characterized by its simplicity in order to achieve efficient and transparent database evolution mechanisms.
Our meta-model supports multiple versions of a class structure by applying a class versioning strategy.
Thus, enabling bidirectional application compatibility among versions of each class structure.
That is to say, the database structure can be updated because earlier applications continue to work, as well as later applications that have only known the updated class structure.
The specific characteristics of orthogonal persistent systems, as well as a metadata enrichment strategy within the application's source code, complete the inception of the meta-model and have motivated our research work.
To test the feasibility of the approach, a prototype was developed.
Our prototype is a framework that mediates the interaction between applications and the database, providing them with orthogonal persistence mechanisms.
These mechanisms are introduced into applications as an {\it aspect} in the aspect-oriented sense.
Objects do not require the extension of any super class, the implementation of an interface nor contain a particular annotation.
Parametric type classes are also correctly handled by our framework.
However, classes that belong to the programming environment must not be handled as versionable due to restrictions imposed by the Java Virtual Machine.

The purpose of the study was to identify factors that affect whether or not students persist in completion of the GED. Exploration of characteristics of participants that do/do not persist and obtain their GED not only assists the high school dropout, potential GED recipient, and GED program staff, but also society as a whole. More information was needed in order to effectively address issues that adversely affect students enrolled in GED programs at rural community colleges. Therefore, examination of the GED programs student database contributed in finding factors that both help and impede student success. Factors identified were investigated in an effort to assist in the retention of future participants in the GED program.
The subjects of this study consisted of 976 students enrolled in the GED program at a rural community college. The data utilized were archived data, so there was no direct contact with subjects. The data were provided by the GED staff via charts and spreadsheets of student files and records (i.e. demographic sheet information, entry tests-locator test or TABE test, pre-GED testing, exit tests-GED, etc.).
A discriminant function analysis was utilized in this study. This was done by weighting the variables and combining them into discriminant functions that separate the groups maximally. The discriminating variables were considered as predictor variables and the group membership variables were considered as dummy criterion variables. Also, a quantitative, non-experimental design was employed to show the direction and magnitude of the relationships between independent variables. The essential features of the design were the abilities to find associations, relate variables, and make predictions.
The variables of age, race, gender, employment, public assistance, rural, single parent, and entry/exit levels significantly discriminated into the following groups at a 59.5% rate of accuracy: (1) GED completion, (2) GED continuation, and (3) GED dropouts. Also, age, race, gender, entry level, and rural had a significant impact on
persistence/GED completion. With respect to age, it was revealed that older participants were more apt to persist and complete the GED program. White and black participants completed at higher rates than Asian and Hispanic participants. While males completed at higher rates than females. Participants with higher entry levels (4, 5, and 6) completed the program at higher rates. The majority of rural participants completed the GED program.

▼ Historically, American Indians (AI) continue to struggle to meet the same levels of educational success as their United States counterparts. Moreover, AIs are the least represented group earning a college degree in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Previous studies have focused on AI undergraduate
persistence, yet there remains a void in the area of graduate level success in STEM-related fields for AIs. This study used a phenomenological method to discover three areas of interest. First, the AI participants in this study became interested in STEM-related subjects at different times in their lives. Second, having teacher mentors at critical times in the AI participants’ school career was necessary for their success. Third, peer collaborative learning was a fundamental part of their success in STEM-related curricula at the both the undergraduate and graduate level. The findings of this study reveal the need for future research in the area of AI STEM-related education.
Keywords: STEM, Education, American Indian,
persistence, collaborative learning, mentoring, graduate level.

▼ This study examined
persistence to graduation at a public Midwestern university from the
perspective of the constructs of spirituality and grit, using historical demographic, academic, and
survey data from nine cohorts of students. Significant correlation between spirituality and grit
was found, leading to the development of the SPIRIT theory and working model. Significant
correlation between spirituality, grit, and
persistence to graduation was also found, and the
SPIRIT theory was applied to
persistence to graduation, accounting for both progress towards the
graduation goal, as well as for times when some cohorts showed negative correlation for some
factors. Development of the SPIRIT theory offers insights into the psychological attributes that
have been identified by previous scholars as relevant to
persistence to graduation.

▼ Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
(PRRSV) causes a tremendous economic loss in swine industry
worldwide. The capabilities to evade host immune responses and to
establish persistent infection are the two hallmark features of
PRRSV infection. In this dissertation, the research was mainly
focused on investigating the novel mechanisms underlying PRRSV
transmission and
persistence.
In chapter 2, the research was
focused on an alternative pathway of PRRSV intercellular
transmission. Our data showed that intercellular nanotube
connections can be utilized for cell-to-cell spreading the core
infectious viral machinery (viral RNA, certain replicases and
structural proteins) of PRRSV. Live-cell movies tracked the
intercellular transport of a recombinant PRRSV that expressed green
fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged nsp2 in a receptor-independent
manner. The cytoskeleton proteins F-actin and myosin-IIA were
identified as co-precipitates with PRRSV nanotube associated
proteins. Drugs inhibiting actin polymerization or myosin-IIA
activation prevented nanotube formations and viral clusters in
virus-infected cells. These data lead us to propose that PRRSV
utilizes the host cell cytoskeletal machinery inside nanotubes for
efficient cell-to-cell spread. This form of virus transport
represents an alternative pathway for virus spread, which is
resistant to the host humoral immune response.
In chapter 3, we
further showed that PRRSV infection could induce the formation of
nanotubes between infected and uninfected cells following a
ROS-dependent nanotube formation model. Co-culturing PRRSV-infected
cells with uninfected cells rescued PRRSV-induced cell death.
Mitochondrion was observed transferring from uninfected to
PRRSV-infected cells. Importantly, impaired formation of nanotube
or defective mitochondrion was unable to rescue infected cells from
apoptosis/necrosis. Certain PRRSV proteins were detected to
associate with mitochondria and transport from infected to
uninfected cells through TNTs. Our results suggest that
TNTs-transfer of functional mitochondria rescued PRRSV-infected
cells from apoptosis/necrosis in the early stage of infection. On
the other hand, mitochondria could be utilized as a cargo to
transport viral materials for spreading the infection.
In chapter
4, a novel mechanism s of PRRSV persistent infection has been
studied. In this study, a cellular model of persistent infection
was established. Strand-specific quantitative RT-PCR and RNase I
treatment analysis showed that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)
conformation existed in persistently infected cells. This data has
been further confirmed in vivo by performing two independent PRRSV
persistence studies. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that
viral dsRNAs were detected aggregating inside the germinal centers
of tonsils and lymph nodes from PRRSV
persistence pigs, but RNA
array analysis further showed that dsRNA in lymphoid tissues had
limited ability to stimulate host antiviral responses during
persistent infection stage. These results suggest that…

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of student-faculty interactions, student-staff interactions, and student-peer interactions of Latino students to their intent to persist toward graduation in community colleges in Texas. Parental educational level (for both mother and father), first generation status, gender, and English as a second language served as additional predictor variables. The existing data used for this investigation were collected by the Center for Community College Student Engagement and included longitudinal data from the years 2012, 2011, and 2010. Data from 12,488 randomly selected Latino students enrolled in Texas community colleges were obtained and used for the study. The research design method was non-experimental using extant data. To assess the relationships between student engagement variables and Latino student intent to persist, correlations and logistic regression were used. Though no relationship was found between intent to persist and student-faculty interactions (r = -.017, p = .066, n= 11,824) or student peer interactions, (r = -.012, p = .208, n = 11,766), a positive relationship was found between intent to persist and student-staff interaction (r = .048, p = .000, n = 10,794) with an extremely small effect size (r2 = .002). Among the variables of parental level of education, first generation college student status, gender, and English as a second language status, only mother's educational level emerged as a significant predictor for intent to persist, R2 = .048, ?2 (8, N = 7,862) = 62.606, p < .0001. The findings suggest the possibility that staff availability and accessibility is important for Latino student
persistence. In order to retain Latino community college students, knowledgeable staff able to facilitate students' successful navigation of the educational system is recommended to be a part of the community college's student success strategies. In addition the findings regarding parental education indicate that community colleges would be well advised to offer programs that engage and include parents as students proceed toward achieving their academic goals.

▼ This study examined the role of social capital on
persistence using three data sources. First, this study drew on the NELS 88:00 dataset to examine the effect of social capital on 1-year and 2-year
persistence within different science fields, and among non-science majors. Then, this study compared life, physical, and other science majors on factors influencing
persistence using a designed survey. Lastly, this study used semi-structured interviews to examine how six Latinx life and physical science majors drew on social capital to persist and negotiated their networks in order to reduce detrimental impacts to
persistence.
Findings from the secondary analysis of NELS 88:00 data using a binary probit ridge regression suggests that social capital impacts 2-year
persistence more than 1-year
persistence, but that there also exist baseline differences between different fields that complicate interpret this effect. Findings from analysis of a designed survey using ridge regression models showed no difference between science fields for six factors impacting
persistence, although Latinx race/ethnicity indicated lower academic performance (college GPA) and gender indicated for higher academic performance and peer social capital. Findings from analysis of semi-structured interviews using hybrid (a priori initial, evaluation, pattern) coding suggests that students use their agency to access those resources they find necessary to persist, but this involves managing detrimental impacts that are parceled with this support. Such instances included access to advice on how to access resources on campus with encouragement to leave science because of its difficulty, or the use of family for childcare that also involved contending with encouragement to leave school to serve in gendered roles of a mother that did not include working or attending school. Implications for supporting science students, is presented, as well as avenues for future research.

▼ Human commensal strains can infect anatomical sites outside the colon, particularly the urinary tract. This is further complicated by the fact many commensal E. coli are resistant to antibiotics. It was hypothesized that strains which can persist in the human colon for a long time, are more likely than others, to share the properties of E. coli that cause extraintestinal infections.
Thirteen persistent strains were found, and the group II capsule [kpsMT II] and the yersiniabactin receptor [fyuA] correlated well with strain persistence. Nine of the 13 strains belonged to ST95, ST69, ST405 or ST131, the clones that are often found in UTI and other non-intestinal infections. In contrast, a group of 36 strains found here that were not detected in multiple samples included only 12 with kpsMT II and 14 with fyuA, and a single ST95 and one ST131 strain.
The 73 strains and few additional commensal strains were characterised for their resistance to 11 antibiotics and 46 resistant strains were found. Seven of the persistent strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic, showing that resistant strains can persist in the absence of antibiotic selection. One of the resistant strains was found to carry a 6.8 kb plasmid that had a dfrA14 gene cassette, which confers resistance to trimethoprim, in the strA streptomycin resistance gene. This plasmid, named pCERC1, was completely sequenced and its replication region was identified. A large plasmid carrying a large resistance island that contained a class 1 integron, appeared to be present in 3 ST69 strains that were found here. Variants of this island were present in 2 further ST69. Hence, plasmids appeared to be the main agent in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes amongst the commensal strains.
The resemblance shared between persistent strains and those that cause extraintesintal infections indicated that persistent strains, which are successful commensals, are the subset of commensal strains that are most likely to cause non-intestinal infections. Moreover, the acquisition and accumulation of resistance genes by persistent strains could explain the emergence of multiply antibiotic resistant clones like ST131 and ST69.

▼ Tinto (1993) argued that all students have different needs and require different resources and services to enable them to persist at the university level. One group of students that requires individualized attention is students from rural areas. During the 2010-2011 academic year, 57% of public school districts in the U.S. were in rural areas (U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, 2013). These rural school districts serve a quarter of the students who attend public schools in the U.S. (Schiess & Rotherham, 2015).
Rural students have lower college enrollment and
persistence rates than non-rural students (Aylesworth & Bloom, 1976; Koricich, 2014; U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016). Rural students may be less prepared for college than their non-rural peers, which may lead them to decide not to enroll in college (Schiess & Rotherham, 2015). Additionally, they may possess many of the qualities, such as coming from a family that has a low level of education and belonging to a low socio-economic group, that increase a student’s risk of dropping out of college (Aylesworth & Bloom, 1976).
There is little information available about the experiences of college students from rural areas. This study begins to fill this research gap by exploring the following question, “How do rural students perceive their experiences coming from a rural background and enrolling at a 4-year urban university?”
A phenomenological study was conducted using data from in-depth interviews of rural students enrolled at a 4-year urban university between the fall of 2013 and the fall of 2016. Interview data was coded for common themes. Findings of this study include: 1) Rural students face isolation in their rural communities. This isolation includes both geographic and social isolation; 2) Rural students face many of the same challenges that students from other geographic locations, but these challenges appear to be more severe for students from rural backgrounds; 3) Rural students often struggle to fit into their college environment; and 4) Coming from a rural background can also be an advantage for students when enrolling in college. This report discusses these findings in more detail and suggests how the information gained from this study could help rural students in the future

▼ Using data from a survey conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center (n=2,012) to answer them, the study asks the following research questions: Does Latinos’ value of education increase likelihood of completing or planning to complete a bachelor’s degree among Latino students? Does Latinos’ perception of academic readiness increase the likelihood of completing or planning to complete a bachelor’s degree? In addition, do in-college rigorous, academic behaviors influence completing or planning for college completion of the Latino population? The research applied the Nora Student Engagement Model (Nora, 2002, 2003, & 2006) as a theoretical framework to analyze the factors postulated including valuing of education, academic readiness, and in-college rigorous behaviors. The outcome of interest was intent to complete or completion of a bachelor’s degree.
The logistic regression (χ²= 103.97, p< .001 with df=3) indicated that the constructs of valuing of education and academic readiness were significant predictors of bachelor degree completion (p<.001). The more value of education a student has the more likely he/she is to complete a bachelor’s degree. Similarly, the better academically prepared a student perceives to be, the more likelihood of a bachelor’s degree completion. This analysis indicated that the construct of in-college rigorous behaviors was not a significant predictor.
This study provides educators insight as to why there is an underrepresentation of Latinos at universities. The conclusion of this research informs educators that in order to increase representation of Latinos at universities, valuing of education must be integrated into the K-12 curricula. Since this study indicated that Latinos who value education are more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree, K through 12 institutions should promote the benefits of a college education in order to increase college enrollment post high school.
According to this study, students who are knowledgeable of the college matriculation path are more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree. Therefore, K through 12 institutions should also incorporate a college seminar class where students understand the college matriculation pathway. College preparatory charter schools have provided these classes and have demonstrated high college matriculation numbers among minorities (Perna, 2000).

▼ Abstract Title: The Mediator’s Qualities - How are the negotiating parties effected by the mediator's persistence and patience? Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree Author: Johanna Strandberg and Emma Hjalmarsson Supervisor: Jens Eklinder Frick and Jonas Molin Date: May 2015 Aim: Our aim is to create a greater understanding of the negotiating parties' experience of the mediator's persistence and patience. Method: We have chosen a deductive approach that we have based our empirical data on already existing research. Theoretical material has been gathered through literature, theses and scientific articles. With the background to our aim, we have chosen to use a qualitative approach where we have interviewed ten people who have been in contact with a real estate agent the last 24 months. The empirical data was then analysed and discussed in our analysis and conclusion. Result & Conclusions: We have found that the mediator's persistence and patience affect negotiating partners in various ways. Patient is seen as a positive quality while persistence can be perceived as negative. Our survey shows that when persistence and patience are combined, the result is successful. Our survey also showed that the main characteristics of the mediator were not at all persistence and patience, which earlier research has shown, but instead it was nice, impartial and knowledgeable. Suggestions for further research: What we think would be interesting for further research is to investigate the mediator's perspective because we only looked at the negotiating parties' perspective. We would encourage further research on qualities in general and also on the specific persistence and patience because we fount that it was a limited amount of research based on these qualities. Contribution of the thesis: The contribution of this study is that it has created a larger understanding for the characteristics that negotiation parties perceive as important for a real estate agent. This can be beneficial for real estate agents to know what properties the parties prefer and how they should act in their efforts to make the parties satisfied. Key words: Negotiation, mediation, characteristics, persistence, patience.
Subjects/Keywords: Negotiation; mediation; characteristics; persistence; patience.

▼ Recent trends in the Aerospace Engineering (AE) industry point to expansion and growth in the sector while its workforce lacks diversity and has an aging population as compared to other engineering majors. One of the ways this requirement can be fulfilled is to retain engineering students who want to pursue AE as a career. Students usually show intent in pursuing a career in AE by choosing AE as their college major. Multi-institutional research on undergraduate engineering trends (i.e. enrollment and graduation) report that AE has lagged cumulative engineering for the past decade even when minorities and gender were considered.
With the goal to increase persistence in AE, this study looked at a population of students who showed intent to pursue AE in their freshmen year at a large Midwestern University in U.S. and subsequently left the major. The study examined survey data of over 1200 students collected over six years through binary logistic regression while employing multiple imputations to reduce biases due to missing data. The quantitative analysis highlighted high school preparation especially in math and physics, and student self-reported analytical skills as indicators of academic success and persistence in AE. Additionally, aspects related to academic experiences and academic integration were also important.
With little literature available on students who migrate to other STEM majors and none on specific to AE, the study interviewed nine students who left AE for other STEM majors before the end of their junior year. These students, who have the required skills for engineering, narrated their experiences during their time in AE and their reasons for leaving the major which were audio recorded and transcribed for analysis. The qualitative analysis revealed that these students left mostly because their interest in AE declined. While some students reported the same reasons as students who leave engineering altogether or a spark in interest in a new career, a few students reported that AE constrained their future career options and that it is tough to get a job in the AE industry. Based on the above mixed methodology results, recommendations for students and the department have been discussed which may increase persistence in AE at the University.

▼ This study analyzed student
persistence at Mid-State Technical College by first measuring the accuracy of the predictions made by a newly acquired software that uses available student data to predict how likely they are to persist. To do this, the software's prediction scores for degree seeking students at the college were captured every two weeks throughout the Spring 2018 semester. These prediction scores were then compared to actual student
persistence rates (those that either enrolled in the Fall 2018 semester or graduated). The accuracy of the software's predictions were measured by calculating the correlation coefficient (R2) between the software's prediction scores and actual student
persistence at the college. R2 values above 0.95 were considered very strong, with values above 0.90 still considered strong. An R2 value below 0.90 was considered to be a weak correlation. Once the software's accuracy was determined, further analyses compared
persistence among different demographic groups and programs at the college to identify areas of opportunity for improved student success.
