The paper investigated the perceived influence of students’ demographic variables on their access to financial aids in public Universities in Rivers State, Nigeria. Six questions were formulated to guide the study and five hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The design adopted for the study was an analytical survey. The population of the study included 78, 216 students (34,997 male and 43,219 female) in the three public Universities in Rivers State. The sample of the study covered 791 students (Male= 395 and Female= 396) selected through the random sampling technique while Taro Yamane method of sample size determination was used for determining the sample size. The instruments used for collecting responses from students were questionnaire and a ten items interview schedule. The research questions were answered using frequency, percentage and cumulative percentage. Findings of the study revealed that students’ demographic variables have an influence on their access to financial aids in public Universities in Rivers State, Nigeria. The implication of this is that the government’s expenditure on education will continue to increase in the absence of these alternative financial aids in the public Universities in Rivers State, Nigeria.

O Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), desenvolvido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, tem sido utilizado para mensuração de nível de suspeição de transtornos mentais em estudos brasileiros, especialmente em grupos de trabalhadores. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho do SRQ-20, com base em indicadores de validade (sensibilidade, especificidade, taxa de classificação incorreta e valores preditivos), e determinar o melhor ponto de corte para classificação dos transtornos mentais comuns na população estudada. O estudo incluiu 91 indivíduos selecionados aleatoriamente de um estudo de corte transversal realizado com população residente em áreas urbanas de Feira de Santana (BA). Entrevistas clínicas, realizadas por psicólogas, utilizando o Revised Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS-R), foi adotada como padrão-ouro. Na avaliação do desempenho do SRQ-20 foram estimados indicadores de validade (sensibilidade e especificidade). A curva Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve (ROC) foi utilizada para determinar o melhor ponto de corte para classificação de suspeitos/não suspeitos. O ponto de corte de melhor desempenho foi de 6/7 para a população investigada, revelando desempenho razoável com área sob a curva de 0,789. Os resultados indicam que o SRQ-20 possui característica discriminante regular.

Despite a growing body of literature examining the consequences of women’s inclusion among lobbyists, our understanding of the factors that lead to women’s initial emergence in the profession is limited. In this study, we propose that gender diversity among legislative targets incentivizes organized interests to hire women lobbyists, and thus helps to explain when and how women emerge as lobbyists. Using a comprehensive data set of registered lobbyist–client pairings from all American states in 1989 and 2011, we find that legislative diversity influences not only the number of lobby contracts held by women but also the number of former women legislators who become revolving-door lobbyists. This second finding further supports the argument that interests capitalize on the personal characteristics of lobbyists, specifically by hiring women to work in more diverse legislatures. Our findings have implications for women and politics, lobbying, and voice and political equality in the United States.
