  • Sport Development in Kuwait: Perception of Stakeholders On
    SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN KUWAIT: PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND DELIVERY OF SPORT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Badi Aldousari, M.A. * * * * * 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Dr. Donna Pastore __________________________ Advisor Dr. Janet Fink College of Education ABSTRACT The current study analyzed the perceptions of 402 stakeholders of Kuwaiti sport regarding the importance of three domains of sport (i.e., mass sport, elite sport, and commercial sport), and the relative emphases to be placed on each of these domains. The respondents were also asked to indicate the organizational forms (public, nonprofit, profit, public-nonprofit combine, and public-profit combine) best suited to deliver related sport services in the country. The stakeholder groups were administrators of federations (n = 57), administrators of clubs (n = 80), administrators of youth centers (n = 50), coaches of clubs (n = 78), coaches of youth centers (n = 57), and elite athletes (n = 70). The gender distribution of the respondents was 355 males and 47 females. They ranged in age from 19 years to 70 years for a mean of 39 years. The statistical procedures included exploratory principal component analysis, computation of Cronbach’s alpha, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) followed by univariate analyses (ANOVA), and chi square analyses. The results provided support for the subscale structure of survey instrument modified from Cuellar (2003). Further analyses indicated that the six groups were almost unanimous in considering elite sport as more critical than the other two domains of sport.

  • Trafficking Victims Protection Act
    TTRAFFICKINGRAFFICKING ININ PPERSONSERSONS RREPORTEPORT JJUNEUNE 20052005 INTRODUCTION Dear Reader: In his 2005 inaugural address, President Bush gave renewed voice to the hopes and dreams of people around the world who seek lives of freedom. He said, “America will not pretend that the jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies.” Yet for millions of people entrapped each year in vicious schemes of labor and sex trafficking, freedom is denied. These trafficking victims are deprived of their most basic human rights and fall into modern-day slavery. President Bush, the Congress, and the American people are united in efforts to eradicate trafficking in persons internationally and within national borders because this global crime opposes the universal value of freedom. This fifth annual Trafficking in Persons Report, along with the $82 million [revised to correct previously posted figure of $96 million] in anti-trafficking assistance our nation provided to foreign governments and non-government organizations last year, demonstrates our strong commitment to this cause. This year, we included more country analyses as a result of deeper research and a wider range of sources. We also expanded our coverage of labor slavery, especially internal labor trafficking. Forced labor and involuntary servitude are appallingly common, including whole villages working to pay off old debts passed down through generations. The TIP Report serves to expose these despicable aspects of trafficking. It provokes, lauds, and challenges. Countries including the United States, which is dealing with its own trafficking problem, have been inspired to greater action against human trafficking as a result of this unique compendium.

International Olympic Committee (IOC), award of 18 January 2017 (operative part of 27 July 2016) Panel: Prof. Martin Schimke (Germany), President; Mr Boris Vittoz (Switzerland); Mr Hans Nater (Switzerland) Karate and Shooting Suspension of a National Olympic Committee due to government interference Standing to appeal in general Standing to appeal of a national federation Standing to appeal of an athlete 1. In order to have standing to sue, an appellant must have an interest worthy of protection or a legitimate interest. This is found to exist if (i) the appellant is sufficiently affected by the appealed decision, and if (ii) a tangible interest of a financial or sporting nature is at stake. Only an aggrieved party who has something at stake and thus a concrete interest in challenging a decision adopted by a sports body may appeal against that decision to CAS. A non-addressee of a decision only has a right to appeal in very restricted cases. As a general rule, the appellant’s interest must be concrete, legitimate, and personal. A purely theoretical/indirect interest is not sufficient. In addition, the decision being challenged must affect the appellant directly, concretely, and with more intensity than others. Finally, the interest must exist not only at the time the appeal is filed but also at the time when the decision is issued. 2. A national federation does not have a sufficient, legally protected interest that would justify granting it – as an exception – standing to sue in a matter of suspension of its National Olympic Committee due to government interference, as the national federation is not the addressee of the decision of suspension, is not party to the discussions between the IOC and the interfering government, has no legally protected interests that were violated by the appealed decision, and as a measure of suspension is only provisional.
