The prevalence proportion ratio of home delivery among the illiterate and 'literate only' in the lower amenity score stratum were 2.5 (CI = 1.3 4.6) times higher than the illiterate and 'literate only' group in the higher amenity score stratum, when each group was compared to a primary and higher education group among the higher amenity score stratum as a reference group (Table 4).
Findings suggest respondents from lower amenity communities with more recent emphasis on resource extraction and higher tree mortality had significantly higher risk perceptions of some MPB impacts, lower trust in federal forest management, and higher faith in forest industry and specific industry options than those from higher amenity communities with less tree mortality.
However, in north central Colorado, the amenity context suggests residents from all communities have some element of economic risk associated with the loss of trees to MPBs despite the relatively small scale of forestry and other extractive resource activities found mostly in the lower amenity communities.
The lower level of mother's education, mother's occupation other than office work, lower yearly income, lower amenity score status and the long distance to maternity hospital with facilities for caesarean section, are all statistically significantly associated with a higher prevalence proportion of home delivery.
Concerns about the two immediate threats to human safety and property (forest fire and falling trees) and the direct threats to forest-based economic interests (impact on livestock grazing, lost of forests as an economic resource, and impact on property values) were higher among respondents from the higher tree mortality and lower amenity communities.
AMENITIES Lower your expectations: the Web site actually lists "self parking" as an amenity.
Mr. Carlo realized he preferred lower costs, fewer amenities and no doorman.
"Hotels need to demonstrate the value of staying with them," Mr. Withiam said, because when the focus is just on the lowest price, the competition leads to fewer amenities, lower service levels and decreased customer satisfaction.
For example, the wealth of the school (as measured by the endowment) or spending on academic programs (instructional spending per student) should have some impact on program quality, if for no other reason than that a rich school should be able to provide more personalized instruction, nicer out of class amenities, lower tuition fees, et cetera.
It includes replacing faulty ticket machines, adding trains to the schedule, and experimenting with lower fares and amenities such as Wi-Fi.
