The Relationship

The magnitudes of the relationship between the conditions of the weekly weather matrix and the numbers of mining accidents during a one-year period were determined by multivariate analyses. Measures of means and variations in temperature, humidity, sunshine hours, windspeed, precipitation, barometric pressure, and geomagnetic activity per week were selected. The analyses were dominated by single variables. Whereas medical aid accidents tended to increase as the barometric pressure decreased, first aid accidents increased as the geomagnetic variation increased. The barometric pressure changes accommodated 16% of the variance in the numbers of medical accidents while geomagnetic variations accommodated 23% of the variance in first-aid accidents.

Ability To Drive

Background: Stroke frequently causes deficits that may impact a person’s ability to drive. Little has been reported about the frequency with which patients return to driving following a stroke or the use of driver evaluation services to determine a patient’s capacity to drive safely. Objective: To examine the frequency of return to driving post-stroke, self-imposed limitations in driving, and the utilization of evaluative services in the decision to return to driving. Methods: : The STEP-South Carolina Project surveyed 162 stroke survivors one year after their event, assessing clinical and functional outcomes and patient perceptions of the magnitude of the impact of stroke on their quality of life (“no effect”, “some effect”, or “great effect”). Multivariate analyses (adjusted for NIHSS) were performed to determine the relationship between driving status, the use of evaluative services, self-imposed limitations to driving and the patient’s perceived effect of stroke of the ability to perform valued life activities. Results: Multivariate analyses showed that 51.2% (83/162) of survey respondents returned to driving following their stroke, with 59% of these (49/83) returning within one month. Only 5.6% of all respondents (9/162) received any formal driving evaluation, though 11% (9/83) of those who had returned to driving had reported their stroke had a great effect on their ability to performed valued life activities. Among those who reported “no effect” on their ability to perform valued life activities and returned to driving, 45.8% (38/83) limited their driving, though it is unclear whether formal evaluation would have supported such a decision. Conclusion: The resumption of driving following stroke is usually a decision made without formal evaluation. Stroke survivors, including those who self-impose restrictions on their driving, may benefit from formal evaluation before returning to the driver’s seat.

And Behavior

Multiple regression lag analyses demonstrated that four to five major components of the weather matrix accommodated approximately 30% to 60% of the variance in daily mood scores for 5 male and 5 female university students over either a 2- or 3-mo. period. Between 10% and 30% of this variance was also explained by day-of-the-week for 4 subjects. Optimal values from the weather matrix occurred about three days before mood measures. Two of the most frequent variables were geomagnetic variation and mean barometric pressure. Temperature, which was contaminated by serial correlations, could be substituted by other variables. Standard errors of the estimate for the equations ranged between 8% to 15% of the mean mood measures. However, equations for three of the subjects' predicted scores were significantly correlated with the observed scores for the 10 days and to a lesser extent the 20 days after the period used to generate the equations.

The Relationship

Objective of this research; 1) determine the perception of ranchers against the properties and behavior of the leadership of the companion in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah 2) analyze the relationship between productivity breeder with productivity of livestock in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah 3) identify the relationship perceptions of ranchers against the leadership companion with productivity of livestock in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah , The data used in this study are primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from questionnaires which stem from ranchers while secondary data sourced from literature in the form of books and articles. Data processing was performed using Chi-square analysis using SPSS software version 21. One of the factors relating to the productivity of ranchers is the perception of ranchers against the leadership of their companion. Leadership companion views of the nature and behavior of which is owned by a companion. Productivity ranchers indirectly related to the productivity of the cattle business. Characteristics breeder visits of age, years of education, experience ranchers, and businesses in addition to ranchers. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between business other than ranchers with ranchers productivity. The relationship between the perception of the nature of the companion breeder with productivity ranchers produce Pearson Chi-Square value is 9.751 and Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) of 0.002. This is due to interest ranchers against leadership qualities possessed by a companion who produce prolific ranchers. Ranchers consider that a companion of his leadership qualities are ideal as a companion.

Theoretical Foundations

Globally, festivals and host communities face increased competition each year from one another and from the myriad of alternate entertainment options. To remain competitive, festival organizers must fully understand what keeps festival attendees coming back year after year. Festivalscape has been an emerging concept of value in this arena, and previous studies have found that festivalscape has an effect on the attendees' emotion and behavior that influences their overall perceived value of the festival. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between festivalscape and the attendees' motivation, satisfaction, and loyalty. A self-administered questionnaire was developed and a structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Study results support the hypotheses, indicating the importance of using festivalscape factors for festival organization and management and effective customer relationship marketing. Further, this study provides academic contributions to theoretical foundations by confirming the effects of these factors. This study also provides practical implications for managing festivals effectively and successfully.
