▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Michel (Dir.).

PhD Thesis

Long-term persistence with oral anticoagulants (OAC) in atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with improved outcomes. However, 1-year discontinuation of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) is as high as 50%. Persistence to non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOAC) show some signal of improvement but the estimates are variable. This thesis includes a prospective evaluation of newly diagnosed AF patients in 44 countries using physician reported start and stop dates of anticoagulation. One-year persistence to dabigatran was 75.6% and 69.2% at 2 years. Approximately half of discontinuers switched to another OAC, increasing estimates of general overall 2-year OAC persistence to 84.1%. Probability of discontinuation was highest in the first 6 month period (83.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 82.7-84.8%) and lower in successive periods. Patients persistent with dabigatran at 1 year had >90% probability of remaining persistent at 2 years. Patients with symptomatic AF, and prior bleeding had higher discontinuation, those with prior stroke, lower discontinuation. Standardized stroke incidence rates post-discontinuation were (95% CI) 1.76 (0.89 to 2.76) in non-switchers, and 1.02 (0.43 to 1.76) in those who switched, consistent with the expected benefit of remaining on treatment. Supplemental patient education may be one mechanism to improve persistence to treatment and improve patient outcomes. A systematic review of the impact of education on outcomes in 9 randomized clinical trials showed low to very low certainty of evidence for benefit of education over usual care. Sufficiently powered trials or different approaches are required to further assess the impact of education on patient outcomes. Finally, important considerations for interpreting available research in OAC persistence, including differences in study methodology, setting, and timing are examined, and patient factors associated with higher or lower persistence reported. A framework for assessing persistence studies is presented to assist researchers and clinicians in evaluating current research and to support planning of future studies.

Dissertation

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Oral anticoagulants (OAC) are approved for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, however discontinuation rates are high and associated with poor patient outcomes. Prior to the last decade, medications to reduce blood clotting by reducing vitamin K action [vitamin K antagonists (VKA)] were primarily used. However, up to 50% of patients discontinue VKA within one year. The introduction of non-VKA (NOAC) anticoagulants that do not require continuous monitoring or dose adjustments, show some promise of improvement in persistence. This thesis examines and reports on long-term persistence over 2 years to the first NOAC available, dabigatran. Reasons, clinical predictors, and periods of risk for discontinuation as well as outcomes following discontinuation are prospectively examined. A systematic review of educational interventions examines existing evidence for…

▼ 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.

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Wang, Lu, Management, Australian School of Business, UNSW.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Tate, Mary, Johnstone, David, Gable, Guy.

▼ While research has shown that persistence is an important predictor of entrepreneurial success, evidence also indicates that entrepreneurial persistence can lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, it is crucial to manage entrepreneurial persistence to limit an entrepreneur’s exposure to failure and improve their likelihood of success. However, our current understanding of why entrepreneurs persist is fragmented, as the determinants of persistence have yet to be integrated in a meaningful way. As a result, our current understanding of entrepreneurial persistence lacks the clarity required to manage entrepreneurial persistence effectively. I propose that psychological ownership is a key variable that facilitates the integration of the four (psychological, project, social and structural) determinants of entrepreneurial persistence. I assert that psychological ownership can provide a psychological explanation for entrepreneurial persistence by positing that entrepreneurs persist in order to address the impairment of their self-concept that results from their venture’s failure. I then establish that psychological ownership can provide a link to project determinants by noting that psychological ownership enhances the expected utility of the course of action, which increases the likelihood of entrepreneurial persistence. Following, I articulate that collective psychological ownership can provide a social explanation for entrepreneurial persistence by arguing that a team of entrepreneurs persist to address the collective impairment of their identity that stems from receiving negative feedback. Finally, I demonstrate that psychological ownership can provide a link to structural determinants by noting that psychological ownership motivates entrepreneurs to increase their commitment to their venture following negative feedback in order to prevent investors from gaining control of their ventures. In order to test my hypotheses, I modified and extended Staw’s (1976) seminal research design on escalation of commitment to fit the entrepreneurial context and conducted mediated moderation tests on data collected from 229 entrepreneurs. The results of this study show that psychological ownership is positively related to commitment when controlling for the performance of the venture. Thus, the results indicate that psychological ownership predicts entrepreneurial persistence. In addition, the results suggest that there is tentative support for the notion that psychological ownership can link the four determinants of entrepreneurial persistence and provide a holistic explanation for why entrepreneurs persist. I conclude by highlighting the importance of psychological ownership in managing entrepreneurial persistence. I note that psychological ownership can be a useful criterion for investors to identify which entrepreneurs are likely to persist and go the extra mile to advance their entrepreneurial projects. In addition, I note that an effective measure to mitigate entrepreneurial persistence, when it is time to pull the plug… Advisors/Committee Members: Brown, Graham (supervisor).

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

▼ 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.

▼ 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. Regarding…

▼ 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 Advisors/Committee Members: Gerald S. Edmonds.

▼ 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). Advisors/Committee Members: Horn, Catherine L. (advisor), Hawkins, Jacqueline (committee member), Reyes, Augustina H. (committee member), Santi, Kristi L. (committee member).

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Ying Fang.

▼ 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.
