In several studies of experimental interviewing techniques and their effect on reporting behavior described in this publication, an attempt is made to identify the elements of the interview process that are potential sources for improving data collection. Methodological studies designed to test the effectiveness of certain questionnaire designs and interviewing techniques used in the collection of data on health events in household interviews are presented. The role of behaviors, attitudes, perceptions, and information levels of both the respondent and the interviewer is investigated. (RC)

This content analysis study evaluated the research methods and statistical techniques employed in studies reported in the professional journal, "TECSE" (Topics in Early Childhood Special Education) between 1990 and 1993. Research articles comprised 37 percent of all articles (n=120) published during this period. The most frequently utilized statistical techniques were descriptive statistics, t-tests, multiple regression, analysis of variance, and correlation. Nonintervention designs represented the majority of research articles, with causal-comparative being the most prominent type. Of the intervention designs, pretest/posttest was the most frequently utilized method. The majority of article authors were female. (DB)

This study examined the relationship between students' scores on Research Methods and statistics, and undergraduate project at the final year. The purpose was to find out whether students matched knowledge of research with project-writing skill. The study adopted an expost facto correlational design. Scores on Research Methods and Statistics for 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 were correlated with project scores for 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 respectively. The population for 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 were 86, 90 and 102 respectively. The respective samples drawn through systematic random sampling technique were 23, 25 and 30. The past questions on Research Methods and Statistics for 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 as well as the undergraduate project assessment for 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 were the instruments used for data collection. The three hypotheses for the study were tested at 0.05 level of significance using the Product Moment Correlation techniques. The co-efficient of determination was used to answer the research questions. The result of the study showed a significant relationship between students' scores on Research Methods and Statistics and undergraduate projects for 2009/2010 academic session only. The conclusion was that scores on Research Methods and Statistics did not adequately correlate with students' undergraduate project scores. It was recommended that emphasis on Research Methods and Statistics should be placed on the problem-solving nature of research.

This report documents the National Center for Health Statistics' (NCHS) methods for bridging the Census 2000 multiple-race resident population to single-race categories and describing bridged race resident population estimates. Data came from the pooled 1997-2000 National Health Interview Surveys. The bridging models included demographic and contextual covariates at the person or county level. Allocation probabilities from the regression models were applied to the Census Bureau's 2000 Modified Race Data Summary File population counts to assign multiple-race persons to single-race categories. Bridging has the most impact on American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) and Asian or Pacific Islander (API) populations, a small impact on the black population, and a negligible impact on the white population. For the country overall, the AIAN, API black, and white bridged population counts are 12.0, 5.0, 2.5, and 0.5 percent higher than the corresponding Census 2000 single-race counts. There is considerably more variation at the subnational than the national level. Bridged single-race population counts have been used to calculate birth and death rates produced by NCHS for 2000 and 2001 and to revise previously published rates for the 1990s, 2000, and 2001. The bridging methodology will be used to bridge postcensal population estimates for later years. Bridged population counts presented here and in subsequent years may be updated as additional data become available for use in the bridging process. File layouts are appended. (SM)

This report summarizes current knowledge and research on the quality and reliability of death rates by race and Hispanic origin in official mortality statistics of the United States produced by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It provides a quantitative assessment of bias in death rates by race and Hispanic origin and identifies areas for targeted research. Death rates are based on information on deaths from death certificates filed in the states and compiled into a national database by NCHS, and on population data from the Census Bureau. Researchers summarized selected studies of race/Hispanic origin misclassification and undercoverage on deaths and population. They made estimates on the separate and joint bias on death rates by race and Hispanic origin from the two sources. They made simplifying assumptions about the stability of the biases over time and among age groups. Original results are presented using an expanded, updated database from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study. Death rates for all groups show net effects of race misclassification and undercoverage. For whites and blacks, published death rates are overstated in official publications by 1.0 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively, resulting mainly from undercounts in the census. Death rates for other minority groups are understated as follows: American Indians, 21 percent; Asian or Pacific Islanders: 11 percent; and Hispanics, 2 percent. (SM)

The Speech Reception Test was developed to measure an individual's ability to hear and understand conversational speech. The equipment used to record the test is described in detail, and data are given for the results of the test given to 100 normal-hearing college students. Other data describe the results for 55 military veterans with known sensorineural hearing impairment. There is also a discussion of interlist equivalency--whether or not the ten sets of stimulus sentences were parallel. (CTM)

The 26th Symposium on the Interface of Computing Science and Statistics was held on June 15-18, 1994 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel in Research Triangle Park, NC. The conference theme was Computationally intensive Statistical Methods. The theme is especially appropriate as computational power has increased dramatically in the last few years and the use of resampling techniques has boomed. The Interface was scheduled between two other statistics conferences in the same area: the Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry, hosted by the National Institute of Statistical Sciences, and the Third World Congress-Bernoulli Society--IMS meetings, at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The conference attracted 363 attendees. There were 23 invited sessions, 21 contributed paper sessions, 9 poster presentations, 4 short courses, 2 practical tutorials, several statistical tutorial sessions, one keynote speech, one banquet presentation, and 2 tours.

In this study, it is aimed to gain the ability to transform what nature offers into a work of art by using traditional methods. The study has two main aims. Its first purpose is to present ways to transfer environmental literacy skills through art education, as a value that should be acquired at an early age. The second is to contribute to the development of hand skills, to gain creativity, to acquire individual skills and to develop basic social skills such as self-confidence, through artistic activities to be applied to the target audience. The participants of the research were carried out with 124 students studying in the 7th and 8th grades of Süleyman Demirel Secondary School located in Gonen District of Isparta. The analysis of the data was carried out using the SPSS 25.00 statistical program using descriptive statistics and simple correlation analysis. In the study, the application methods of traditional handicrafts were combined with materials obtained from nature for the purpose of the study. According to the results obtained; It has been observed that awareness about how nature is transformed into an art object through artistic activities. The activities within the scope of the study were planned as a result exhibition and a total of 13 activity titles under two categories, conceptual and artistic. In artistic activities, it is planned to carry out activities for the transformation of materials collected from nature by using the methods and techniques of traditional handicrafts. In addition to materials that can be collected from nature such as mud, stone and cones, art materials such as felt, wool, natural stone and similar art materials obtained from nature were used in the activities.

3Ramona

By Helen Hunt Jackson

Ramona, a novel written by Helen Hunt Jackson (1884), is the story of a part-Scottish and part-Native American orphan girl growing up and getting married in Southern California, suffering racial discrimination and hardship. Originally serialized in the Christian Union on a weekly basis, the novel became immensely popular. Overall, it has had more than 300 printings, been made into four film versions, and has been performed as an outdoor play annually since 1923. The impact the novel had on the culture and image of Southern California was enormous. Its romanticization of Mexican colonial life gave the region a unique cultural identity and its publication coincided with the arrival of railroad lines to the region, bringing in countless tourists who wanted to see the locations in the novel.

Volume One of the New and Complete Newgate Calendar, covering the years 1700 through 1723, relates stories of British trials, the persons accused and the crimes committed. It is primarily based upon contemporary newspaper and pamphlet accounts of these trials. Where the criminal is particularly well known, such as the highwayman, burglar and escape artist Jack Sheppard, other sources were used as well. The readings used here are selected to illustrate different aspects of the eighteenth century criminal world and the British legal system.(Summary by Roy Shreiber)

5Ramona (version 2)

By Helen Hunt Jackson

Set in Old California in the wake of the Mexican-American War, Ramona is two stories at once. It is the story of the love between a part-Native American orphan girl, Ramona, and Alessandro, a young Indian sheepherder. It is also the story of racial prejudice and the clash between cultures as California changes from a Spanish colony to an American territory. Ramona is the ward of Señora Gonzaga Moreno, who despises the girl for her race but honors the dying wish of the Señora's sister, Ramona's foster-mother, to raise her as her own. Señora Moreno embodies the aloof arrogance of Spanish nobility, hating both the Americans who dispute her claim to her vast rancho, and the Indians, whom she places in the same social class with slaves. Her only semblance of love is reserved for her son Felipe.<br><br> Despite the Señora's machinations, Ramona and Alessandro fall in love, and eventually elope. But their life together is not an easy one, as they roam the Southern California searching for a home. Their many hardships cannot dull their love for one another, but they soon take a toll that changes their lives forever. (Introduction by Christine Dufour)
