Underperforming ventures are those whose performance falls short of the ownermanager's expectations for a long period of time but whose future is not a clear failure. Persistence decisions about underperforming ventures are influenced by the environment and owner-managers' individual characteristics. Previous research leaves two research gaps. First, our knowledge about which and how individual characteristics may affect owner-managers' persistence decisions is still limited. Furthermore, owner-managers assume multiple roles in society and have opportunities to imagine a different future. Their decisions thus are affected by role demands and perceptions of the future. The growing interest in contextualizing entrepreneurship suggests the importance of putting persistence decisions in a broad social context and investigating the complexity of ownermanagers' persistence decisions when owner-managers are facing multiple influences from the decision context. To fill in the above two research gaps, I put persistence decision making in a decision context consisting of venture attachment, family time pressure, social approval pressure, and personal options outside the venture. In this dissertation, I strive to address one research question: how do the decision context and two self-images--psychological capital and fear of failure--jointly influence owner-managers' persistence decisions? I designed a metric conjoint experiment to answer this question. The experiment consists of 33 decision scenarios, each of which is a combination of a certain level of the abovementioned four decision context factors. Ninety owner-managers of small- and mediumsized enterprises participated in my study, and were asked to indicate the extent to which they would want to persist with a hypothetical underperforming venture in each scenario. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to analyze the data. The analysis yielded three important findings. First, owner-managers' persistence decisions are influenced by all four decision context factors, but in different manners. Venture attachment and social approval pressure are positively related to the likelihood of persistence, whereas family time pressure and the number of personal options are negatively associated with the likelihood of persistence. Owner-managers give the highest weight to venture attachment, followed by the number of personal options, family time pressure, and social approval pressure. Second, owner-managers' persistence decision making is a balancing act between different present roles and between the present roles and perceptions of the future. For example, family time pressure weakens the relationship between venture attachment and the likelihood of persistence, whereas social approval pressure strengthens the relationship between venture attachment and the likelihood of persistence. The opportunities for imagining a different future, represented by the number of personal options, also attenuate the positive impact of venture attachment on the likelihood of persistence. Finally, psychological capital and fear of failure do interact with the decision context to influence owner-managers' persistence decisions after controlling for several personal and environmental factors. More importantly, different components of psychological capital and fear of failure play different roles in explaining the heterogeneity of owner-managers' persistence decision policies. Whereas psychological capital is an approach-oriented factor and functions as a set of psychological resources that owner-managers can draw upon to strengthen the impact of some motivational factors (e.g., social approval) on persistence, fear of failure is an avoidance-oriented factor and drives owner-managers to make decisions in a manner to avoid upsetting important others, shame, embarrassment, or an uncertain future. This dissertation makes important contributions to entrepreneurial persistence research, venture attachment research, the fear of failure literature, and the psychological capital literature.

With the collapse of the Middle East peace process, the 'war on terrorism' and US-led intervention in Iraq, the question of Middle East regionalism(s) has reached a new salience. Will such developments usher in a new wave of transnational politics, as events reverberate through a Middle East made even more permeable by new information technologies and transregional religious networks? Or will authoritarian states successfully insulate themselves from such effects? What impact will globalization have on local identities and local politics? To what extent might issues of regional permeability be mediated by class, gender, ethnicity, population migration, or other factors? The contributors to Persistent Permeability? address such questions from a variety of analytical perspectives. In doing so, they offer a valuable contribution, essential for all those interested in Middle East politics and international relations.

Born October 25, 1970, I come from the enlisted side of the United States Army! I was raised in Wilkins Township just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! I started basic training on October 17, 1990. I was an armored tank crew member! I served four years, and then went on to serve in the United States Army Reserve! I have observed a lot throughout my lifetime. If I could pinpoint one the enormous problems in this country, it would be people are not educated on The Structure of Perseverance! Without this book, The Structure of Perseverance!, I would not have been able to write any other books of mine. Within this book lies the tools as an answer to what we face as obstacles! It brings great joy to me that we can start to solve these problems with this book.

Each year, many students with affordable college options and the academic skills needed to succeed do not enroll at all, enroll at institutions where they are not well-positioned for success, or drop out of college before earning a credential. Efforts to address these challenges have included changes in financial aid policy, increased availability of information, and enhanced academic support. This volume argues that the efficacy of these strategies can be improved by taking account of contemporary research on how students make choices. In Decision Making for Student Success, scholars from the fields of behavioral economics, education, and public policy explore contemporary research on decision-making and highlight behavioral insights that can improve postsecondary access and success. This exciting volume will provide scholars, researchers, and higher education administrators with valuable perspectives and low-cost strategies that they can employ to improve outcomes for underserved populations.

The Ninth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems (POS 9) took place at the SAS Radisson Hotel in Lillehammer, Norway, from 6th to 8th September 2000. Previous workshops in the series have been held in Scotland (1 and 2), Australia (3), the USA (4), Italy (5), France (6), and the USA (7 and 8). In keeping with those workshops, POS 9 was short but intensive, fitting 28 papers and panel sessions, a boat 1 excursion, and some memorable meals into two and a half days. The participants’ concentration was no doubt helped by the Northern European weather that prevailed for most of the workshop. Continuing a trend experienced over the previous few workshops, POS 9 had difficulty attracting a high number of papers. Of course it is hard to tell whether this is a problem with the field of persistent systems itself, or merely a consequence of the increasing number of workshops, conferences, and journals competing for submissions. In his Epilogue to the proceedings, Ron Morrison makes some interesting suggestions for possible improvements to future POS workshops. Out of a total of 26 submitted papers, 19 were accepted for presentation at the 2 workshop. Breaking down by region, 6 1/2 came from the USA , 1 from Africa, 3 1/2 from Australia, and 8 from Europe. In a new development for POS, an equal number of papers came from England and from Scotland.

The Prison system is widely believed to be an immutable element of contemporary society. Many criminologists and sociologists of deviance believe that decarceration movements have failed to yield progressive reform, and that feasible alternatives to the prison system do not exist. Maeve McMahon challenges these views. Reconstructing the emergence of critical perspectives on decarceration, she examines analytical and empirical problems in the research. She also points out how indicators of community programs and other penalties serving as alternatives to prison have typically been overshadowed through critical focus on their effects in 'widening the net' of control. McMahon presents a detailed analysis of decreasing imprisonment, and of the part played by alternatives in this, during the postwar period in Ontario. Drawing from extensive documentary research, and from interviews with former correctional officials, she charts the changing climates of opinions, and socio-economic factors, which facilitated decarceration. By situating her analysis in the context of theoretical and political arguments about the possibility of decarceration, McMahon provides in her work a stimulus to the development of progressive penal politics not just in Canada, but in all western countries.

Persistent object systems are systems which support the creation and manipulation of objects in a uniform manner, regardless of how long they persist. This is in direct contrast with conventional systems where temporary objects are created and manipulated using one mechanism (typically programming language data structures) and permanent objects are maintained using a different mechanism (usually a filestore). The unification of temporary and permanent objects yields systems which are smaller and more efficient than conventional systems and which provide a powerful and flexible platform for the development of large, data intensive applications. This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop at which latest research in this area was discussed. The papers are grouped into sections on the following topics: type systems and persistence, persistent programming languages, implementing persistence, object stores, measurement of persistent systems, transactions and persistence, and persistent machines.
