The purpose of this article is to examine factors that influence passengers' decision in selecting an airport in a multiple airport system (MAS). This article focuses on a MAS in China consisting of two airports that directly compete with each other in serving domestic and international passengers in the same area. A survey was conducted in the Beijing area to collect the data, and a logistic regression was used to test the effects of these factors on the passenger choice. The results indicate that airfare is the most significant determinant of Beijing passengers' airport choice, followed by flight delay.

AbstractAdopting quantitative corpus-based methods, this paper focuses on the alternative negative constructions in Korean, [anV] and [Vanhda]. Logistic regression analyses for a mixed-effects model were carried out on data drawn from the Sejong Korean Corpus. Certain features of the verb or adjective in negative constructions significantly affect the use of the two negative constructions. A relevant factor is register/medium (spoken or written), among other significant interactions of factors. Furthermore, the fact that frequency is consistent with other relevant factors, together with certain diachronic facts of Korean, supports the claim that frequency of use plays an important role in linguistic changes. Another finding is that, notwithstanding noticeable differences between spoken and written language, the factors influencing the use of the two negative constructions in Korean are largely similar in the spoken and written registers.

A prospective study was performed to determine the factors Influencing the extrusion rate of tympanostomy tubes. Nine hundred thirty-nine tubes were inserted In 589 patients and the extrusion of these tubes was reviewed up to a period of 27 months. The eight tubes used in the survey were the Shepard, Exmoor, Bobbin, Armstrong, Paparella, Shah, Arrow, and collar button. These tubes were inserted In strict rotation, the operator using the designated tube. The position, type of incision, presence of fluid, quality of tympanic membrane, and degree of difficulty of insertion were all recorded at operation. The sex, age, side of operation, and any simultaneous operative procedures were also recorded. The patients were reviewed the day after operation and then every 3 months thereafter until the tube was extruded. A definite pattern was Identified for the extrusion of each type of tube. At one end of the spectrum, Exmoor and Shepard tubes were, for the most part, extruded between 6 and 9 months after Insertion, while at the other end, most of the collar button tubes were still functioning at 18 months. The design of the tube was the only factor found to be a significant determinant of the extrusion of the tube, although the experience of the surgeon affected the extrusion rate of the Arrow tube. The different dimensions of the Exmoor and collar button tubes are examined and compared.

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence of sleep disturbance in older adults with or without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and associated factors among residents in rural central China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in adults in rural areas of the Hunan province aged≥60 years. Study participants (N = 1213) included 479 individuals meeting the criteria for MCI and 734 with normal cognitive abilities. The participants completed the Athens Insomnia Scale, Stress Resilience Quotient Scale, Affect Balance Scale and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale. Chi-square test, Wilcoxon rank sum analyses and multiple logistic regression were used in this study. Results: A total of 60.33% of participants with MCI demonstrated sleep disturbance (60.33%, 95% CI: 0.559-0.649), which was significantly higher than in the non-MCI group (43.73%, 95% CI: 0.759-0.838). Multiple logistic regression conducted separately in the populations of older adults with or without MCI showed that age, drinking habits, affect balance and activities of daily life were correlates of self-reported sleep disturbance in rural older adults with MCI ( B = −5.469), whereas age, ADL, living arrangement and resilience were the main influencing factors in older adults without MCI ( B = 2.991). Conclusion: Sleep disturbance is more common in older adults with MCI than without MCI in rural areas of China. The factors influencing sleep disturbances vary between older adults with or without MCI, with age and ADL representing common factors influencing sleep disturbance in both groups. Interventions focusing on the age, drinking habits, affect balance and ADL may improve sleep quality in MCI older adults.

In the context of recent devolution processes in Uganda, operation and maintenance of drinking water infrastructure still pose a major challenge. Given the importance of water user fees and local collective action for operation and maintenance, it is paramount to consider factors influencing the users’ willingness to contribute. Based on 802 structured household interviews, this article looks into the link between willingness to contribute and actual contribution and presents variables influencing users’ willingness to contribute to water provision. The variables demonstrated by the logistic regression model to increase the likelihood of users’ willingness to contribute are categorized as institutional, bio-physical and demographic ones.

6130 Background: In some jurisdictions, there is a legal requirement for physicians to report medically unfit drivers. Objectives of this study are to determine physician knowledge and attitudes on reporting legislation and driving assessment, and review our institution’s experience in evaluating fitness to drive in brain tumour patients. Methods: Physicians caring for brain tumour patients in South-western Ontario were identified by public databases and surveyed by mail. Survey questions elicited demographics, opinions, and factors influencing the decision to report. Patients receiving brain radiotherapy at our institution between January and June 2009 were identified and details of driving assessment were extracted. Fisher’s exact test and a logistic regression model were used to determine differences in responses between specialists and family physicians and factors influencing reporting. Results: Surveys (n=467) were distributed with 198 (43%) responses. Most (76%) felt that reporting guidelines were unclear. Neurologists (43%) and Family Physicians (22%) were felt to be the most responsible to report unfit drivers. Compared to specialists, Family Physicians were less likely: to be comfortable with reporting (p=0.02), to consider reporting (p<0.001), or discuss the implications of driving (p<0.001). Perceived barriers in assessing fitness to drive included: lack of tools to assess (57%) and the impact on the patient-physician relationship (34%). 158 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Forty-eight patients (30%) were reported to the provincial licensing authority and 64 (41%) were advised not to drive. 53 patients experienced seizures, of which 36 (68%) had a documented discussion on driving. Only 30 (56%) of these patients were reported to the licensing authority despite legal requirements. Age, primary disease, previous neurosurgery and seizures were predictive of reporting (p<0.05). On logistic regression modeling, seizures (OR 12.4) and primary CNS disease (OR 15.5) remained predictive of reporting. Conclusions: Despite guidelines and laws, the assessment of fitness to drive in patients with brain tumours is not routinely conducted or documented in a multidisciplinary setting.
