Objectives of the study. The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of the level of women in the workforce on Kuwaiti economic growth, and by applying the anticipated results of the model designed to test such impact, to assess the impact on the overall economy of the state of Kuwait by using the rate of growth of Kuwaiti gross domestic product (GDP); GDP being considered one of the measures that reflect the status of the economy. Specifically, the objective of the study will be achieved by:
1) Providing a theoretical framework as to how the so-called women level in the workforce combines with certain variables to contribute a great deal towards economic growth.
2) Subjecting the relevant data collected via the postal questionnaire to a package of statistical tests using the SPSS as posted in the study model, to test the validity of the proposed hypothesis of the thesis, formulated in a way that expresses the impact of the level of women in the workforce in the context of education level; income inequality; foreign direct investment; rate of population growth; exports; human capital; political empowerment; technology; and the rate of growth in GDP.
3) Face-to-face interviews with five academics, five policy makers and business people, to gain some more insights arising from the questionnaire responses. In particular, the face-to- face interviews will seek to ascertain the reasons why the three group's surveyed think there is – or is not – a relationship between economic growth and the ten factors included in the postal questionnaire.

Objectives of the study. This study aimed to obtain the criterion referenced and norm referenced agreement between the Mile Run/Walk Test, One-and- a-Half Mile Run/Walk Test and the PACER Test among male and female students aged 13, 14, and 15 years. Firstly, the findings of this research would determine the percentage of male and female secondary school students aged 13 years, 14 years, and 15 years in the state of Perak who passed the PACER Test, the Mile Run/ Walk Test, and the Body Mass Index based on the FITNESSGRAM Standard (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al., 2003). Secondly, the findings of this study would determine the percentage of male and female secondary school students aged 13 years, 14 years, and 15 years in the state of Perak who passed the One-and- a-Half Mile Run/Walk Test according to the American College of Sports Medicine standards (ACSM, 1999). Thirdly, the findings of this study would provide feedback on the reliability of the PACER test, which is the 20-metre multistage stage shuttle run. Fourthly, this was to determine the reliability of the Mile Run/Walk Test, One-and-a-Half Mile Run/ Walk Test, and the PACER Test so as to determine which test is the most suitable to measure the cardiovascular endurance among students depending on age and gender sex. Fifthly, the findings of this study would provide useful feedback to Sports Education and sports ecience teachers in Perak on the appropriateness of tests to measure cardiovascular endurance among students depending on age level and gender sex. Sixth, the findings of this study could be used by the Malaysian Ministry of Education, teacher education division, curriculum development centre, and state education departments as useful feedback to improve the sports education and sports science curricular. A study on the criterion referenced and norm referenced agreement between the Mile Run/Walk Test, One-and-a-Half Mile Run/Walk Test and the PACER Test among male and female secondary school students aged 13 years, 14 years, and 15 years in the state of Perak was conducted to achieve the following objectives. Firstly it was to test the test-retest reliability of the PACER Test, the 20 metres multistage stage shuttle run. Secondly, it was to test the similarity in reliability of the Mile Run/Walk Test, One-and-a- Half Mile Run/Walk Test, and the PACER Test based on the norm referenced and criterion referenced framework. Therefore, this was a study to find out if subjects could be classed as pass or fail when compared with the cri...

Objectives of the study. Landslides can be triggered by both natural and human-induced changes in the environment. Human-induced landslides may result from changes in slope caused by terracing for agriculture, cut-and-fill construction for highways, construction activity, mining operations, rapid draw-down of dams, changes in land cover such as deforestation, and changes in irrigation or surface runoff.
Objectives of the study. The objective of this study is to explain MIS function in the Gurans Life Insurance Company. The main objective of this study is to acquire a sound understanding of different practices and policies in the Gurans Life Insurance Company (GLIC). This study is prepared on the title “MIS of GLIC,” so the objectives of this study are: • To analyze functioning of MIS at GLIC. • To analyze the types of MIS used in GLIC. • To analyze the problems associated with MIS of GLIC. • To give recommendation regarding the better functioning of the MIS. • To analyze, which type of MIS is suitable for the insurance companies. • To analyze how to integrate the information system with management’s different functional areas.
Objectives of the study. The overall goal of this research is to develop additional knowledge and guidance for state transportation agencies and contractors that can be used to improve driver and worker safety on roadways. The part of work zone safety specifically targeted by the research is that during the set-up, removal, and modification of temporary work zones on high speed roadways. These operations are commonly performed by contractors on construction projects and by ODOT personnel when performing roadway maintenance. As described above, these operations also create unique hazards for workers and motorists to recognize, comprehend, and respond to, and have received limited attention in prior ODOT research. The research will focus on temporary construction and maintenance operations on multi-lane, high-speed roadways (e.g., Interstates 5, 205, and 84 in Oregon). The work operations targeted will be those which include traffic control to close off one or more lanes of traffic to accommodate the work operations. For example, traffic control measures may be needed to reduce free flow traffic conditions by one or two lanes to allow for repaving or restriping on the roadway. The traffic control devices deployed in such situations may include temporary signage, barriers, striping, variable message signs, radar speed signs, flaggers, and other common traffic control technologies. Temporary barriers may include barrels or cones, or positive protection such as a Jersey barrier/K rail. Both daytime and nighttime operations will be considered for the study. Appropriate average annual daily traffic (AADT) levels for such cases will be reviewed with ODOT and considered within the research when selecting specific work operations and roadway locations to study. To meet this goal, the proposed research will involve examining the conditions and practices during traffic control set-up, removal, and modification to assess the associated risk and identify potential risk reduction measures. Specifically, the objectives of the research are to:
1. Document the guiding principles, common work practices, and corresponding risk exposures during traffic control transition periods;
2. Identify promising practices to improve safety during the transition periods;
3. Compare differences in risk and implementation feasibility associated with current and promising practices through both quantitative and qualitative measures; and
4. Develop guidance for ODOT and contractors to enhance safety during the transi...
