TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined demographic variables as background factors and situational variables as trip-specific factors which could affect business travel and found that these variables were used in multiple regression analyses as independent variables in an effort to identify their influence on pre-trip, on-location and post-trip behaviors and attitudes.
Abstract: Using the responses from 749 business travelers to Alaska, this study examined demographic variables as background factors and situational variables as trip-specific factors which could affect business travel. These variables were used in multiple regression analyses as independent variables in an effort to identify their influence on pre-trip, on-location, and post-trip behaviors and attitudes. The demographic and situational variables accounted for 7 to 23% ofthe variance in business travel behaviors and attitudes. Situational variablesproved to be stronger correlates than demographics and mayprovide a better basis for developing marketing strategy for business travelers. The most important situational variables were (1) whether the traveler combined business with pleasure, and (2) whether the traveler traveled to fulfill a staff or line function.

TL;DR: The Canadian Nurses Association as discussed by the authors revised the Code of Ethics to provide direction for the implementation of ethical standards for nursing, but a growing body of literature suggests that situational constraints make it difficult for nurses to uphold these standards.
Abstract: Awareness of nurses' ethical concerns has increased greatly over the last few years. In response to this awareness, the Canadian Nurses Association revised the Code of Ethics to provide direction for the implementation of ethical standards for nursing. Yet, a growing body of literature suggests that situational constraints make it difficult for nurses to uphold these standards. Overcoming these constraints will take concerted efforts in nursing education, administration, practice and research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted research in two prisons for adult men serving long sentences in England, and found that the management of long-term prisoners with control problems was difficult.
Abstract: This paper arises from research conducted in two prisons for adult men serving long sentences in England. The research was commissioned by the Home Office as part of a wider program of research studies focusing in various ways on issues of control and order in long-term prisons in England, and on the management of long-term prisoners deemed to be &dquo;control problems&dquo; (for a fuller understanding of this policy background, see Home Office 1984, 1987; Bottoms and Light, 1987).
