Western businesses subsequently flooded into the country to take advantage of cheaper labor...

INTRODUCTION Using self-determination theory as the theoretical framework, we conducted a longitudinal investigation of the relationships between motivation and athlete burnout. We tested four hypotheses: H0: low self-determination (SD) does not precede burnout, and burnout does not precede low SD; H1: low SD precedes burnout; H2: burnout precedes low SD; and H3: burnout and motivation have a r...

In 1953 A. Grothendieck introduced the property known as Dunford-Pettis property [18]. A Banach space X has the Dunford-Pettis property (DPP in the sequel) if whenever (xn) and (ρn) are weakly null sequences in X and X∗, respectively, we have ρn(xn) → 0. It is due to Grothendieck that every C(K )-space satisfies the DPP. Historically, were Dunford and Pettis who first proved that L1(μ) satisfie...
