"Almost all airlines provide their passengers with flight attendants in order to assist their customers travel comfortably. Since, the law demands airlines to hire flight attendants the individuals joining this occupation shoulder various responsibilities including making sure that passengers on board comply with the safety regulations and keeping a strict check pertaining to the availability of first aid kit and other safety equipment (Service Occupations: Flight Attendants).

"It should also be noted that the concern expressed by the AFA and other flight attendant bodies was not only directed at the personal health and welfare of the flight attendants but was also part of a larger concern related to national safety and security. The issue of flight attendant fatigue has a profound impact on issues such as safety regulations and the flight attendant's response to an emergency. It was felt that flight fatigue could have dramatic and far-reaching consequences in terms of emergency and evacuation duties. This aspect was particularly pertinent in the light of the threat of terrorism in the post 9/11 environment in the country. Simply stated, "In an era of heightened security, with the need for constant vigilance, we cannot afford to be exhausted on the job" (Flight Attendants Union Launches Fatigue Survey)"

"All of these strategies are positive reinforcement strategies, rather than negative reinforcement strategies like suspending students ("Attendance Incentives," 2007, NY State Education Department). It is important that students retain a positive attitude to school and to the potential of adults to help them during this crucial development period. In a recent study of high-performing schools that were once low-performing schools, one of the most common features was that students helped develop the school's vision and norms, and assumed responsibility for translating the school's purpose to the community. The students also planned school celebrations and community events when attendance as a school improved ."

Abstract
This paper discusses sports attendance and the factors that affect the attendance demand. The parer further discusses some of the economic realities of society, noting that the ranking of the team is most important, and also noting the fact that teams are supported first by fans in the city where the team is based, more so when the team is wining and more when the team is playing a rival team.

From the Paper
"The attendance demand at professional team sport events is driven by several factors, some inherent in the sport itself and some in the economic realities of the society at the time. One might believe that there is a one-to-one relationship between high attendance and the state of the economy, for instance, though this is not the case. Indeed, sporting events and other relatively inexpensive entertainment such as movies tend to do well during times of relative economic hardship, suggesting that something other than the availability of spendable cash drives such consumer decisions. One element that helps determine the attendance demand at sorting events is the ranking of the team. Teams are supported first by fans in the city where the team is based, and yet the audience is somewhat fickle. If the team is doing well, more people are on hand to cheer it to further victory. "

Abstract
This marketing research proposal focuses on the question of how small- market National Hockey League (NHL) teams can increase fan attendance. Its objectives are to determine NHL fan demographics based on different regions, understand what fans want in their NHL experience, why potential fans are not attending NHL games, and where they are spending their entertainment dollars instead. The proposal concludes that is possible for small market NHL teams to increase their fan attendance with the right mix of marketing (promotions, prices, and product) based on the data collected and how the individual teams will use it.

"How can small market NHL teams increase fan attendance? The research problem should recognize the most specific issue facing an organization and the level of need. Why are small market teams struggling to fill arenas even though the overall interest in the NHL has increased since the lockout? Small market teams face many problems but increasing fan attendance would provide the following benefits: an obvious increase in revenue and return on investment, added value to the franchise, increase the interest in corporate sponsorships and also cause an increase in the external aspects of the team such as team merchandise and television ratings. SMRC will travel and analyze specific data for each of the small market teams in the NHL."

Abstract
The paper discusses the reasons for the decline in attendances at British premier football matches. The paper says that there are a variety of reasons; namely high ticket prices, the game is boring or teams are out of form, and too much violence on the grounds. The paper also tells us that there are economic reasons such as the law of supply and demand and the key variables are price and quantity. According to the paper, T.V.coverage plays a part in the decline of attendance as well. Several tables and graphs are included with the paper.

From the Paper
"In view of falling attendance, the clubs will soon have to look at pricing strategy of tickets and bring them in line with the market demand. In this case factors other than market forces are also involved as alienating fans by keeping them out of the grounds due to unacceptably high prices will be harmful for their image. It is obvious that in order to restore the attendance, the clubs will have to look at their pricing policy among other factors for restoring attendance to previous levels. The fans are already switching to lower division clubs and at the present level of prices in the Premier League, the lower division clubs will be able to increase their ticket prices as well as attendance as their tickets would still be substantially cheaper than the Premier League rip off."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the gradual decline in activity within the college community sets the stage for a lifetime of negative lifestyle factors that contribute to the onset of obesity as well as diseases such as diabetes, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease. The writer conducts research among students in order to determine if a correlation exists between the following independent variables: motivation factors, nutrition factors, fitness background, lifestyle factors, and student recreation center (SRC) attendance. The writer concludes that in contrast to previous research, the results show that lifestyle factors, namely smoking and hours of sleep per night, are not prominent in relation to how often the students attended the SRC.

"In an effort to eliminate this problem, the Healthy People 2010 initiative includes goals that attempt to eliminate many of the sedentary lifestyle factors that lead to a decreased health status - namely obesity. Unfortunately, these goals completely overlook the college population and are only directed at adults already in the workforce and grade school children; perhaps too young to fully grasp the concept. In another effort to combat lifestyle factors, the Phat Exercise approach, is attempting to implement various methods that will function to boost intrinsic motivation in an effort to increase activity within the college population. The researcher's state four psychological concepts: vision, mastery, flow, and energy, all of which are aimed at helping individuals increase their level of activity enjoyment and thereby increase exercise frequency."
