Multi-level Model of Parent-Child Attachment, Depression & Self-Concept in Pediatric Chronic Illness
… Drawing data from 50 MEND participants, we used multilevel modeling techniques to test changes in self-concept over time as predicted by number of weeks in MEND, depression, family cohesion and flexibility, and baseline levels of maternal and paternal attachment. Results: At Level 1, depression …

Using a multi-level model to examine the fidelity of implementation of school-wide positive behavior intervention support and its relationship to academic achievement in Louisiana
… is to examine if implementation of the universal level of PBS is related to student achievement on the LEAP and iLEAP examinations administered as part of the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program. A second purpose is to examine whether identified student/ school characteristics contribute to …

Multi-level acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition
Context-dependent acoustic modeling is commonly used in large-vocabulary Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems as a way to model coarticulatory variations that occur during speech production. Typically, the local phoneme context is used as a means to define context-dependent units. Because the …

The relationship between African American high school students' desire to attend college, their perceived likelihood to attend college and actual college entrollment
… for 1775 African American 9-11th grade students. Multi-level model analysis showed that individual and contextual SES and students’ high school experiences were more strongly related to perceived likelihood of attending college than to desire and that these variables also predicted actual college …

An empirical study of behavioural intentions in the Taiwan hotel industry
… This suggests that behavioural intentions are a multi-dimensional concept. Despite the importance of behavioural intentions, there is limited research on this construct in the hotel industry. The aim of this research was to gain an empirical understanding of behavioural intentions in the Taiwan …

Examining the Role of Physiological Arousal in Laboratory Risk-Taking in Social and Non-Social Contexts
Current theoretical models attribute the rise in risk-taking during adolescence to heightened activity in reward processing brain regions when in the presence of social and non-social rewarding stimuli. However, non-rewarding, but very salient stimuli, have also been shown to increase activity in …

An exploration of emotional distress and sleep in a stroke rehabilitation setting
… in the study for an average of seven days. A multi level model analysis was used to explore the data. Results indicate that sleep efficiency, low mood and pain all offer some predictive value for participation in rehabilitation in this sample. Paper three is a critical appraisal of the …

A multi-level examination of authentic leadership and organizational justice in uncertain times
… research, this study proposes and tests a multi-level model of leadership, justice, and uncertainty. Building upon uncertainty management theory and the nascent research in authentic leadership, I propose a multi-level moderated mediation model wherein authentic leaders influence individual …

What Next? Unpacking Anticipatory EEG Oscillations in Auditory, Tactile and Visual Modalities: Relations with Behavior and Executive Function in Children and Adults
… variance in executive function scores using a multi-level model. Results indicated that inter-individual differences in anticipatory sensorimotor mu modulation (not visual alpha or auditory tau rhythms) contributed to the significant association with executive function variability. I discuss …

Anti-fraud measures and inherent criminogenesis in business organisations
… on the root of corporate crime, i.e. a multi-level model of criminogenesis which provides the bedrock to develop comprehensive anti-fraud actions which can holistically address corporate crime at the macro-, meso-, and microlevels. I believe my work has strongly influenced the practice …

Luminescent decay and spectra of impurity-activated alkali halides under high pressure
… single configuration coordinate model is used to interpret the luminescence data. While pressure affects the volume, it also couples to the nontota1ly symmetric coordinates that determine the lifetime in the phosphors studied here. Luminescent kinetics are governed by the …

Connecting for a Social Good: A Multi-level Analysis of a Nascent Online Community
… and groupware adoption, this thesis develops a multi-level model to address the research question. This model theorizes the evolution of nascent OCs and the influence of context and materiality on this evolution. It highlights that OC evolution happens as users across different social worlds …

The Impact of Resource Availability on Patterns of Discharge to Inpatient Rehabilitation after Stroke in Ontario, Canada
… reviews were performed to identify patient-level variables that can be used to 1) predict functional outcomes after inpatient rehabilitation and 2) infer suitability for early supported discharge to community-based rehabilitation. Findings from the first review were used to inform analyses …

Multi-level, multi-variate, non-stationary, random field modeling of engineering systems
… systems can often be represented considering models at multiple levels. Such levels can be defined by state variables (i.e., variables that describe the properties of the objective) or other quantities of interest (e.g., probability of failure) for the components in a system. For an …
