But Don, before that, why don't we talk a little bit about your background? When and where were you born? DON FELTNER: I was born in Hazard, Kentucky and I lived on a tobacco farm up until I was about five years old. About that time, after two years in a row, dad said, "Hmmm.

  • ABSTRACT the Professionalization of Youth Sports in America Jordan D
    ABSTRACT The Professionalization of Youth Sports in America Jordan D. Cox, M.A. Committee Chairperson: Sara J. Stone, Ph.D. Adolescent athletes in America have unknowingly been turned into de facto professionals by existing organized youth sports systems. The current approaches have become overly injurious to participants and their families. This work explores the history of organized youth sports in America, some of the adult factors involved in youth sports, the cost emotionally and developmentally to kids involved, overuse injuries, and how youth sports has become big business. While competition is an integral part of American culture, strong alternatives to current youth sports systems do exist. Examples are given of efforts being made to reshape youth sports and provide healthier benefits to participants. The Professionalization of Youth Sports in America by Jordan D.

  • Human Error: a Concept Analysis
    https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20070022530 2019-08-29T18:39:46+00:00Z CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NASA Technical Reports Server Journal of Air Transportation Vol.ll, No.3 -2006 HUMAN ERROR: A CONCEPT ANALYSIS Frederick D. Hansen Oklahoma State University Tulsa, Oklahoma ABSTRACT Human error is the subject of research in almost every industry and profession of our times. This term is part of our daily language and intuitively understood by most people however, it would be premature to assume that everyone's understanding of human error is the same. For example, human error is used to describe the outcome or consequence of human action, the causal factor of an accident, deliberate violations, and the actual action taken by a human being. As a result, researchers rarely agree on the either a specific definition or how to prevent human error. The purpose of this article is to explore the specific concept of human error using Concept Analysis as described by Walker and Avant (1995). The concept of human error is examined as currently used in the literature of a variety of industries and professions. Defming attributes and examples of model, borderline, and contrary cases are described. The antecedents and consequences of human error are also discussed and a definition of human error is offered. Frederick D. Hansen, Ph.D. is currently an Assistant Professor of Aviation Education at Oklahoma State University-Tulsa. Dr. Hansen received a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Iowa State University, a Masters of Public Administration, and a Ph.D.
