Among schoolchildren, uncorrected refractive errors have a considerable impact on learning and academic achievement especially in underserved and under-resourced communities. A school based cross-sectional study was carried out to estimate the prevalence and distribution of refractive error among schoolchildren in the Agona Swedru municipality of Central Region of Ghana. 637 schoolchildren aged 11-18 years old were randomly selected for the study. Non-cycloplegic refraction was performed on each child who failed the reading test. Hyperopia was defined as spherical power of ≥ + 0.75 D, myopia as ≤ – 0.50 D and astigmatism as a cylindrical power of ≤ – 0.50 D. Of the children examined, only 13.3% had previously had an eye examination. Introduction Uncorrected refractive errors remains a public health problem among different population groups.

...INGREDIENTS OF THE FOOD SYSTEM BACKGROUND READING "How we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used."1 –Wendell Berry, author and farmer Food holds many meanings and serves many roles. At its most basic level, it is a source of nourishment, without which we would cease to function. On a global scale, nations depend on food for political stability.2 Among the one in six people worldwide who lack adequate access to food,3 it may be viewed as a rare and precious commodity. Others who enjoy access to an abundant food supply may take it for granted; in many parts of the world, consumers and food industries discard it in great quantities.4 Beyond its biological roles, food has deep social meaning; it can serve as a mark of culture, values or taste, a gathering point among communities or an opportunity to reinforce relationships.5,6 On a personal level, food and emotion are closely tied.7 Food may provide temporary relief from anxiety, depression, loneliness and boredom.7 Feelings of joy and other positive emotions may inspire healthier, more pleasurable eating experiences.7 These examples illustrate just a few of the ways that food is an integral part of human lives. We all experience food, if for no other reason than because we all consume it. Our relationship with food, however, extends far beyond the act of eating. Food takes a complex journey from its origins on farm fields, ranches, rivers, oceans and other sources to consumers’ plates. Along the way...

Composite test scores of tenth grade students from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 are examined using a four-part model which includes student role performance, school, family, and peer factors. Ordinary Least Squares analysis indicates that the strongest predictor of student test scores is socioeconomic status, resulting in a statistically significant increase in the standardized coefficient of .224 points. These results support previous research and possible directions for public policy are given. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction..............................

An Empirical Analysis of China Big Four State-Owned Banks’ Performance: A Data Envelopment Analysis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Commerce and Management at Lincoln University By Jiyun Xu Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand 2011 I Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of M. C. M. An Empirical Analysis of China Big Four State-Owned Banks’ Performance: A Data Envelopment Analysis By Jiyun Xu Banks are becoming more international, disintermediation, concentrated and contestable in the financial market in providing services to foreign enterprises and individuals. There is also a shift from the traditional bank lending activities towards investment banking activities. Competition in financial markets encourages consolidation of banks and other financial institutions through mergers and acquisitions in order to increase contestability (Bikker & Bos, 2005). Hence, it is important to determine whether the bank is performing well under constant changes in the financial markets. This study examines the efficiency and performance of...
