Aplastic Anemia in a Cat

Like many seniors I had the opportunity to work with a practitioner during summer vacation of the 1970 school year. On June 8, 1970, we were presented with a very interesting case which I feel is worthy of publication

The Respectability of Collegiate Aviation as an Academic Discipline: Have We Arrived Yet?

With a growing popularity of new programs since the latter part of the 20th century, collegiate aviation has made significant gains in US colleges and universities particularly through University Aviation Association (UAA) membership and program accreditation from the Council on Aviation Accreditation (CAA). However, with these gains there appears to be significant lingering problems and a formidable question must be asked: Has collegiate aviation really made any significant strides in combating a negative public perception and misunderstanding in the last 30 years? Undoubtedly, collegiate aviation has made significant gains in program quality in less than 100 years, but seemingly has not arrived unscathed in the public relations arena. How can collegiate aviation\u27s public relations problem be described? Quite possibly, collegiate aviation\u27s perception could be classified as a two-fold problem ranging from uninformed to limited

The Effect of Athletic Participation on Academic Achievement for Private High School Students

Education\u27s role in society is crucial for the sustainability of civilization (Ball, 2021). Education consists of people training people for the future and the betterment of humanity. Governments often prioritize education reform, and decision-makers and school leaders constantly look at ways to improve student gains (Ball, 2021). Further, improving the education system is an ongoing process that is an absolute necessity, and the intent behind this research was to contribute to that endeavor and promote progress. The relationship between athletics and academic performance has been studied broadly in literature. However, there is a literary void and lack of delineated exploration regarding the impact of athletic participation for different target groups or school types (i.e., grade, age, gender, race, social-economic status, public, private, or charter schools). This research examined this area of exposure in student curriculum within the private high school setting. A comprehensive research design was imperative to determine the effect of athletic participation on academic achievement for private high school students. A complete literature review created a framework for theory. As this was a study about private high school students, the best population to provide input and data are those who work in a private high school setting. The perceptions of fifty private high school professionals utilizing surveys befittingly assisted in determining the effect of athletic participation on academic achievement in private high schools. Findings fully suggested that athletic participation positively affects academic achievement for private high school students. Thus, it should be a significant area of focus for private high school decision-makers, school leaders, and governing agencies. Recommendations for future research are provided, and this dissertation serves as a stimulus for future studies
