A Study of the Political Activity of Mexican University Students

An overview of the political activity of Mexican university students during the 1968 disturbances in Mexico was compared with data taken from a 1964 attitudinal survey conducted by the International Research Associates, Incorporated of university students from nine Mexican universities in an attempt to find possible trends and attitudes that could have predicted the 1968 and subsequent riots. The population for the analysis came from three of the nine universities based on the levels of activity shown during the 1968 riots ranging from most active to least active. Three main variables; activism as of 1968, ideological self-designation as of 1964 and degrees of discrepancy as of 1964 were cross-tabulated with sex, .age, father\u27s education and community size. Students who in 1964 saw themselves as falling to the extreme left of the ideological scale were found to be in the more active university in 1968. The majority of students in 1964 did not view the government and accompanying institutions as being that far from their own ideological views. The most active university had the largest percentage of students in the 31 or older category. Sex held no significance bearing on activism. Students coming from populations of less than 10,000 were found to be more highly concentrated in the most active university and those students whose father had completed college were also concentrated in the more active university

Manpower Needs Forecasts for the Health Services of the United States of Mexico

The Republic of Mexico is in the process of review and reorganization of its health care delivery systems. Planning for the reorganization requires a manpower needs forecast under various delivery scenarios in each of 27 prioritized health problem areas. This paper discusses the 1987 and 1992 manpower needs forecasts in one of the 27 health priorities, e.g., the mental health services field. A panel representing national leadership from all relevant provider professions (psychiatry, psychology, social work, etc.) working in the public and private provider and academic institutions was used to reach a consensus via the Delphi process on each of a number of parameters needed to generate the forecast

Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children : Attitudes of South Dakota participants

The purpose of this study was to document and analyze the attitudes of participants in the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in South Dakota. Demographic and attitudinal data were collected in December 1983 from a twelve percent random sample of the participants in the South Dakota WIC Program. Demographic and attitudinal information was obtained from a written attitude assessment instrument designed by the researcher. Seven hundred thirty-two instruments were sent out; 527 were completed and returned. All data was used in compiling response frequencies and statistical analysis. Analysis of variance and the Waller-Duncan t test was used to detect significant relationships between demographic variables and designated aspects of the WIC program: food, delivery system, educational program, becoming/being a participant, and fringe benefits/other. The data demonstrated a positive overall attitude for the WIC program. Significant relationships were noted between attitude and how participants found out about the WIC program, educational level, and ethnic/racial background of the participant. The study did not detect statistical differences in means on attitudes when paired with age, length of time on program, row participants qualify, prior participation, miles traveled and minutes waited at WIC clinic, and geographic region where participants reside

Hard Water : Occurrence, Health Effects, and Consumer Drinking Practices in Brookings and Sioux Falls, South Dakota

In light of the probable benefits of drinking hard water, it would be anticipated that wherever hard water is available, dwellings would be plumbed to provide this water to the drinking tap. However, casual surveys in certain South Dakota communities had revealed that the plumbing is arranged in some dwellings so that drinking water available at the tap has been subjected to on-site softening. As a result, the water consumer has not only been deprived of the benefits of drinking hard water, but also subjected to the health hazards of drinking high-sodium water from ion­exchange softeners. The primary objective of this research was to determine the extent to which water softeners in residential homes are plumbed in such a manner that only soft water is available for drinking, thus depriving consumers of an important source of calcium and magnesium. The objectives of the research were: 1. To identify regions of. the United States where hard water supplies are available and those with soft water supplies. 2. To review the literature on the relation between hardness of water and CVD and establish the current views on this subject. 3. To establish the current most suitable daily calcium requirement for good health and prevention of osteoporosis based on age and gender as established by the medical and scientific community. 4. To determine the extent to which drinking water currently contributes to the daily calcium and magnesium requirement. 5. To determine the extent to which dwellings in two cities in South Dakota have been plumbed to provide water for drinking that has been softened by on-site, ion-exchange units where hard water could have been provided instead. By meeting the objectives outlined in this research, information regarding the many health benefits of drinking hard water and the hazards of drinking soft water could be enumerated. Also, the extent to which consumers drink on-site softened water when hard water is available will be estimated. If this practice appears extensive, this information could be used to publicize the need for changes in plumbing codes and procedures to ensure full advantage is taken of the health benefits of drinking hard water
