THE RELATIONSHIP OF PERSONALITY TRAITS AS MEASURED BY THE BERNREUTER PERSONALITY INVENTORY TO SOME PHYSICAL TRAITS OF FRESHMEN COLLEGE WOMEN OF KANSAS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT PITTSBURG, KANSAS

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of relationship existing between certain personality traits and certain physical traits of approximately 135 freshmen women at the Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg, Kansas. Procedure. A personality test and various physical tests were administered to approximately 135 freshmen women at the Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg. The six personality trait scores measured by the Bernreuter Personality Inventory were correlated with the physical test scores measuring General Motor Capacity, General Motor Ability, Physical Fitness Index, and body build. Pearson\u27s formula for determining the coefficient of correlation was used for all correlations. As a somewhat different approach to the problem, body build was arbitrarily divided into three Groups, linear, average, and stocky. The average personality test scores of these three groups selected on the basis of body build were then compared in an attempt to determine the amount of relationship and difference. Findings. All in all, while the possibility of a relationship between emotional adjustment, as measured by the B1-N score on the Bernreuter Test, and body build has been suggested by the results of this study, the findings as a whole would seam to justify the conclusion that there is only a very small relationship between physical and personality traits; as these have been measured in this investigation. The fact that this finding is in essential agreement with another closely related study (Middleton\u27s) would seem to provide additional confirmation for it

A Study of a Community in the Process of Withdrawing a Service

In 1942, the Navy Department constructed a Naval Supply Depot at Clearfield, Utah. The northern part of Davis County was still in the grips of the Depression of the 1930\u27s. Therefore, the Public Housing Administration constructed a temporary housing unit of cinderblocks under the authorization of the Lehman Act of 1940 for those who came to the Clearfield area for employment. It was named Anchorage. In 1955, the Federal Government sold Anchorage to Clearfield City for $20,451.70. Clearfield City hired a crew of three men to maintain the project. The maintenance of the project slowly deteriorated through the years. Major repairs were not completed. Broken glass and puncture weeds were prevalent in the area. Anchorage was a miniature, semi-isolated village. A grocery store, an elementary school, and a Branch of the L. D. S. Church were established there. The Audit Reports reveal that Clearfield made a profit from the project. An average year, 1966, shows the city\u27s profit to be$25,915.47. Clearfield found the repairs of the project to be too costly and in 1967 sold it to the Clearfield Realty for $60,000.00. The Davis County Community Action Program, the State Division of Welfare, the Spanish-speaking Organization for Community Integrity and Opportunity, NAACP, and the Governor\u27s Committee for Anchorage participated in solving problems which arose for the residents of Anchorage. One month prior to being demolished, nearly all of the residences were vacated and the residents relocated

A summary of research relating to first grade reading, 1932-1963

Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston UniversityProblem: An attempt to compare the rate of learning of colorful and abstract words of children in grade one. Materials: 1. Thirty words were selected to be used in three groups of ten words each. Each list consisted of five colorful and five abstract words. Colorful words are those which have much meaning for children and abstract words are those with little meaning. The words were printed on 3 x 11 inch flash cards in lower case letters. 2. Check sheets were made with spaces for checking the retention of words at three different times and pictures were made to enrich the colorful words. 3. Directions were prepared and given to each teacher who participated in the study. 4. Kuhlmann-Anderson Intelligence Test: Battery A. 5. Detroit Word Recognition Test: Form A [TRUNCATED

Accessing Food in Rural Food Deserts in Iowa and Minnesota

The purpose of this research is to examine the food infrastructure (grocery stores and food safety net services) available to meet the food needs of people living in high poverty rural places. Random mail surveys (n=1,516), purposeful in-person surveys (n=665), and market basket food price surveys of 130 USDA Thrifty Food Plan items in 16 grocery stores in six rural counties in Iowa and Minnesota provide data for this analysis. We find that Iowa rural users of food safety net services are more likely to depend on others to get to the grocery store (5.6-6.2%) compared to similar population in Minnesota (3.1-3.5%). The general rural population is more likely to perceive local institutions are working together to solve food access problems than users of food safety net services. Minnesota average rural food prices are significantly higher than in rural Iowa grocery stores during similar time periods. Minnesota stores have significantly more costly fresh fruits and vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, breads and cereal, milk and dairy products and meat and meat alternatives. We conclude that rural residents may share similar food infrastructure but experience it differently depending on income, food insecurity, food prices, transportation and how local government and church leadership engage in solving community food problems

Whales of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in Canada's Western Arctic: An Overview and Outlook

The beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) and the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) are seasonal migrants to Canada's Western Arctic, occupying summer range in the southeastern Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR). These whales also travel through United States (Alaskan) and Russian offshore waters, which include migration routes and overwintering areas for both species. The beluga has for centuries been an important food resource of the aboriginal people of the Mackenzie Delta. From 1990 to 1999, the annual subsistence harvest of beluga in the ISR averaged 111, while only two bowheads were landed during this same period. The minimum size of the Eastern Beaufort Sea beluga stock has been estimated at 32 453 whales. The total annual removal of beluga by subsistence hunters from the ISR and Alaska is estimated at 189 whales, which is less than 0.6% of the minimum estimate of stock size. This level of harvest is sustainable. Between 1848 and 1921, commercial whalers decimated the Bering Sea population of bowhead whales. The size of the population, based on 1993 data, is estimated at 8200 (95% estimation interval of 7200-9400), constituting more than 90% of the world's remaining bowheads. This population increased at a rate of 3.2% from 1978 to 1993, while sustaining a harvest of about 0.6% per year. To ensure the continued well-being of these whales and their habitats, it is recommended that existing monitoring programs, commitments, and co-management partnerships be nurtured and maintained.Le béluga (Delphinapterus leucas) et la baleine boréale (Balaena mysticetus) sont des migrateurs saisonniers qui fréquentent l'ouest de l'Arctique canadien, occupant un territoire estival dans le sud-est de la mer de Beaufort et le golfe Amundsen au sein de la Région désignée des Inuvialuit (RDI). Ces baleines se déplacent également dans les eaux situées au large des États-Unis (alaskiennes) et de la Russie, qui comprennent des voies migratoires et des aires d'hivernage pour les deux espèces. Le béluga représente depuis des siècles une importante ressource alimentaire pour les Autochtones du delta du Mackenzie. De 1990 à 1999, la moyenne annuelle des prélèvements de subsistance du béluga dans la RDI était de 111, alors que seulement deux baleines boréales avaient été débarquées durant la même période. La taille minimum du stock de bélugas dans l'est de la mer de Beaufort est évaluée à 32 453 individus, et les prises annuelles de bélugas effectuées au sein de la RDI et de l'Alaska dans le cadre de la chasse de subsistance sont évaluées à 189 individus, ce qui représente moins de 0,6 p. cent de la taille minimum du stock. Ce niveau de prélèvement est par conséquent durable. Entre 1848 et 1921, les baleiniers commerciaux ont décimé la population des baleines boréales dans la mer de Béring. D'après les données de 1993, on estime la taille de la population à 8200 (comprise entre 7200 et 9400 avec 95 p. cent de probabilité), soit plus de 90 p. cent du nombre de baleines boréales qui existent aujourd'hui dans le monde. Cette population a augmenté à un taux de 3,2 p. cent de 1978 à 1993, tout en faisant l'objet d'un prélèvement annuel d'environ 0,6 p. cent. Afin d'assurer le bien-être permanent de ces baleines et de leurs habitats, on recommande d'appuyer et de conserver les programmes de surveillance, les engagements et les partenariats de cogestion actuellement en place

The Contributions Of Student Organization Involvement To Students Self-Assessments Of Their Leadership Traits And Relational Behaviors

Many business schools designate leadership as a learning outcome for their undergraduates, but the question of how to teach leadership is challenging. Results of this study showed that students who were engaged in extracurricular student organizations rated themselves higher on both leadership traits and behaviors than those who were not involved in student organizations. Though faculty may not interact regularly directly with student affairs professionals, this study suggests that students learn holistically and across all their experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Pairing coursework aimed at improving leadership capabilities with co-curricular organization activities that give students additional opportunities for trying out what they are learning in the classroom could improve intentionality and authenticity in students educational experiences

P3 4 A Near Fatal Lecture

Despite rising carbon dioxide levels, it is not currently high enough to cause any long-term effects on the body. There is no common consensus as to what concentrations of CO2 can cause hypercapnia, but this tends to occur at concentrations greater than 5%, with levels of over 10% often leading to fatalities [1]. We investigate how long it would take for a typical lecture hall to reach this 5% critical level, which begins to affect consciousness, with a standard physics cohort just by breathing, which we find this length of time is around 6.5 hours
