SURVEY INSTRUMENTS Sample Clauses

SURVEY INSTRUMENTS. Survey instruments provide one source of information regarding student experiences and degree of satisfaction with respect to a Faculty Member’s teaching performance. The system of “course evaluation” questionnaires, approved by the Senate, and currently in use, shall continue to be used according to existing procedures until such time as it is replaced by a new questionnaire or other instrument, approved by Senate. Only questionnaires approved by Senate may be used. The continued use of the existing student questionnaire, or any other questionnaire that might be approved by Senate, does not constitute an endorsement or a dismissal of that questionnaire; neither does it imply that the questionnaire is properly constructed. The Association reserves the right to challenge the use of information obtained from any student survey system in any matter related to the renewal, tenure, promotion, or discipline involving a Member.
SURVEY INSTRUMENTS. We designed two data collection forms. In both forms, the currency reported was in Chinese Yuan (¥)1. One form was designed for our participants to provide demographic information and their indirect/direct costs incurred as a result of their TB diagnosis (See Appendix B, page 48). The second form was designed for township hospitals to report how many cases they had seen in the past year and the costs associated with TB cases (we will exclude from this report the data collected from this second form). The data from this form will be collected and analyzed by the CCDC office. The patient data collection form contained three sections. Patients were firsts asked to provide their basic demographic information such as their date of birth, ethnic group, occupation, highest level of education, and health insurance type. This part also included questions on the patient’s date of diagnosis and treatment start/end, and approximate costs of TB diagnosis. The second section of the survey focused on the dates of each TB hospitalization, complications that may have developed as a result of the hospital visit, and whether or not relatives accompanied the patient during the hospitalization. In the third section, patients reported the direct costs such 1 For all costs reported in Chinese Yuan, the costs will also be reported in U.S. dollars. The conversion rate between the Yuan and the U.S. Dollar at the time of study was 6.14 Yuan = 1 U.S. Dollar. as insurance and out-of-pocket expenses. Patients were also asked about additional testing fees and indirect costs such as food and lodging. All forms (including IRB consent forms) were translated into Chinese Mandarin. In both counties, my supervisor and I were present for about five to seven home interviews. This range accounts for a different number of homes visited in each county. The rest of the home visits were completed during a period lasting two-to-three weeks. The telephone interviews were also continued for the same time period. Once the in-person and telephone interviews were completed, the hard-copy surveys were sent to our office in the Guangxi CCDC for data entry and analysis.
SURVEY INSTRUMENTS. The survey instrument is comprised of a set of questions drawn from previous studies and newly created questions. Survey topics include demographics, information on participants’ time abroad, frequency and types of communication with home and host countries, transnational and cosmopolitan identity change, national identity strength, and their perceived similarity to different groups (e.g., home and host countries). Demographic items include age, gender, race, relationship status, and citizenship. Participants also provide information about their time abroad, such as their host country, duration of their time abroad, nature of their volunteer work, reason for returning home, and previous experience living abroad. The measures are described here, and complete measures are available in the Appendix A.

All rights acquired by the holder of the leasehold mortgage shall be subject to each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease and to all rights and interests of the Port. None of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease shall be waived by the Port by reason of the right given to the Lessee to assign its interest in this Lease for security purposes. 15.1 The Leasehold Mortgage shall contain provisions providing that no purchaser or transferee of the Lease at any foreclosure sale or other transfer authorized by law or by reason of a default under the mortgage where no foreclosure sale is required shall further assign or transfer any right, title or interest in or to this Lease or the leasehold estate covered by the Leasehold Mortgage unless the Port has approved the assignee or transferee in writing. 15.2 In the event the Lessee assigns this Lease for security purposes as provided in this Section 15, after receipt of a written notice from the Lessee giving the name and address of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees that whenever the Port sends a notice to the Lessee under the terms of this Lease, the Port will contemporaneously send a copy of the notice to the leasehold mortgagee. 15.3 The Port further agrees that it will not accept a voluntary cancellation or surrender of the Lease by the Lessee without prior written consent of the leasehold mortgagee and the Port will not enter into any amendments of the lease which modifies any material provision of the lease without prior written approval of the leasehold mortgagee.

The Port agrees to accept a tender of cure of default from the leasehold mortgagee as if the cure were tendered by the Lessee. Provided, however, that if it takes the leasehold mortgagee more than thirty (30) days to cure a default (other than the payment of any money due under the lease) because the leasehold mortgagee is not in possession of the property, the lease shall not be in default if the leasehold mortgagee promptly undertakes to obtain possession of the property and diligently pursues its right to possession. No tender of cure of a default by the leasehold mortgagee shall require the leasehold mortgagee to cure any future defaults by the Lessee or require the leasehold mortgagee to perform any other term or condition of this Lease. 15.5 In the event of a default by the Lessee which has not been cured by the Lessee or by the leasehold mortgagee and which would permit the Port to forfeit or otherwise terminate this Lease or in the event the leasehold mortgagee forecloses upon its leasehold mortgage and becomes the holder of the Lessee's interest in this Lease, the Port agrees to accept the leasehold mortgagee as the Lessee under this Lease, provided the leasehold mortgagee performs all of the obligations and covenants of the Lessee contained in this Lease which are capable of being performed by the leasehold mortgagee. 15.6 In the event of a default which is personal to the Lessee (such as a bankruptcy) and which cannot be cured by the leasehold mortgagee and the Lessee's interest under this Lease has been terminated or canceled, then at the written request of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee under the same terms and conditions as this Lease and for any unexpired term of the lease. The Port's execution and delivery of the lease shall be without any representation or warranty of any kind, including any representations or warranties regarding title to the Property, the improvements or the priority of such new lease. 15.6.1 The Port shall be obligated to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee only if the leasehold mortgagee has remedied and cured all monetary defaults of the Lessee under this Lease and has remedied and cured or has commenced and is diligently completing the cure of all non-monetary defaults susceptible to cure by any party other than the original Lessee. The leasehold mortgagee shall pay all costs and expenses of the Port, including, but not limited to, attorney fees, real property transfer taxes, escrow fees and recording fees incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of a new lease and any related conveyances. 15.6.2 If more than one leasehold mortgagee requests a new lease or in the event of a dispute between the Lessee and a leasehold mortgagee, the Port shall have no duty to determine the relative priority of the leasehold mortgages and the Port shall have no obligation to enter into a new lease with any leasehold mortgagees unless the dispute is resolved to the Port's satisfaction within ninety (90) days of the termination of this Lease. 15.6.3 Upon the execution of the new lease by the leasehold mortgagee and the Port, the Port will convey to the leasehold mortgagee by quit claim deed, title to any improvements on the Property by the Lessee in which the leasehold mortgagee has a recorded mortgage or other security interest. The conveyance of the improvements shall be in "as is" condition without any warranty or representation by the Port concerning the condition of the improvements. The Port will not warrant the title to the improvements and the leasehold mortgagee shall accept the title to the improvements subject to any existing encumbrances. 15.6.4 Upon the execution of a new lease and the conveyance of title to improvements, if any, it shall be the responsibility of the leasehold mortgagee to cancel and discharge this Lease and remove any persons occupying the premises.
