Book Description
Values have recently been recognized as a variable that may aid in explaining food behaviour. Further, values are being increasingly considered by nutrition educators as a factor which may affect an individual's participation in educational programmes and his/her adoption of beliefs related to the programme. A group of 50 independent-living individuals over 59 years of age participated in a study designed to measure, and determine the relationships between, food-related value-orientations and diet quality. Research instruments included a questionnaire with 55 value-orientation statements and 7 demographic questions, and a 3-day food record. Years of education and former occupation prestige were combined as an index of socio-economic status. There was agreement (p=0.01) among the seniors as to the hierarchal ranking of the 7 value-orientation scales (-=0.70 to 0.87) derived from the value-orientation statements. Familism was ranked higher, and religion ranked lower, than health, education, economics, convenience, and social-psychological uses (p=0.05). Guttman scalogram techniques were applied to develop a 7-step scale of diet quality (C.R. = 0.93; C.S. = 0.66) following comparison of mean food group intake to that recommended by Canada's Food Guide (revised 1977). While 96 percent of the subjects reached step 2 (bread and cereals), only 6 percent reached step 7 (milk and milk products). Neither the hierarchal ranking pattern of value-orientations nor the scoring of individual value-orientations were related to diet quality. Socio-economic status level was negatively related to the value-orientations education, economics (p=0.01), and religion (p=0.05). Concomitant study of attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, values, and demographic factors is necessary to more fully understand the interaction of these variables in relation to the food consumption decision.

Pages : 201
Book Description
A discussion of the role of modeling in the management process, with an overview of state-of-the-art modeling applications. The first chapters provide a background on the benefits and costs of modeling and on the ecological basis of models, using historical applications as examples, while the second section describes the latest models from a wide selection of environmental disciplines. Since management frequently requires the integration of knowledge from many different areas, both single discipline and multidiscipline models are discussed in detail, and the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the issues and alternatives in choosing, applying, and evaluating models. Land and watershed managers as well as students of forestry, park management, regional planing and agriculture will find this a thorough and practical introduction to all aspects of modeling.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
