Decline Literature Reviews Samples For Students

The population of deer in the Midwest is tremendously on the decline, a situation that raises efforts of conservation agencies in addressing the situation. The deer represent a class of wild animals that require maintaining their numbers in order to increase the reproductive ability of future generations. More specifically, the deer population in the United States of America in 2014 was 32.1million where 28.5million represented the numbers of whitetails, and only 3.6 million accounted for the black tails, mules and others (America's Department of Natural Resources: --the U.S. Department of the Interior 15). Notably, the numbers had dropped from 33.5 million ...

Literature Review

It is found that oil prices have undergone critical decline over past couple of years for several reasons at the bottom of this decline. However, reducing demand triggered by increased production of oil in USA, over production by OPEC, and shift towards renewable sources of energy is considered the most fundamental reason behind current downtrend of oil prices. It conforms to the simple theory of demand and supply according to which demand and price are in positive, while price and supply are in negative relationship with each other (Stafford, 2015; Scott, 2015; Goldenberg, 2016; Arnold, 2008; Hensher, Rose, & Greene, ...

Abstract

Ginkgo Biloba extract is widely used by older adults as a cognitive enhancer although efficacy studies show inconsistent results. A review was done of three quantitative studies with the hypothesis that once-daily use of Ginkgo Biloba does not help improve the memory of adults aged 50 years or older. One article was a clinical trial on the differences in electrical activity in the brain when Ginkgo Biloba or placebo is used during a working memory test. The second article is also a clinical trial that determined the efficacy of Ginkgo Biloba in reducing cognitive and therefore memory decline in patients with early-stage dementia. ...

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

ENERGY RELATIONS

Introduction
The US and Canada have been supporter and challenger, associate and adversary, foe and friend- throughout their history. As a result, the two nations have experienced durations of conflict with one country’s national interests dictating actions that caused adverse effects on the other (Behiels and Stuart 2010; Andreas 2013). Since the 1980s, however, the two nations have increased their energy relations through integration and cooperation (Hooper and Newlands 2012). As such, significant issues have often been resolved through negotiated compromise. Nonetheless, some US-Canada trade relations have been unsuccessful. For example, although the two nations are widely known ...

Introduction

Dementia is a term utilized to show that an individual has developed some difficulties in judgment, memory and reasoning. The psychological and behavioral symptoms of dementia are a fundamental part of the dementia syndrome. Apparently, the decline in motivation or emotional control, or an alteration in the social conduct exhibiting as emotional irritability, apathy, liability and coarsening of the social behavior have been a portion of the diagnostic criteria for this condition [1]. Some studies indicate that behavior and cognition are dimensions, which are independent [2]. Nevertheless, they influence one another; dementia is linked to a faster rate of ...

Labor Market

Labor market is a form of the economy that functions through demand and the supply of labor. Labor demand is the companies demand; labor and supply focus on the supply of the labor workers. The bargaining power is likely to have high influence on both supply and demand. Majority of the nation is aware that the labor market institutions that have equalizing effects tend to encounter challenges (Peitchinis, 2005). Policy change is required in relation to equality since it ensures that the status quo focuses on both national and international change. Labor market comprises of employees searching for work, employers ...

C. Discuss Cherlin’s argument for why Americans have both high rates of marriage and high rates of divorce compared to other industrialized nations.
Andrew Cherlin reviewed the historical changes while noting that marriage still remained the most common and effective living arrangement for bringing up of children. However, children are more likely to grow up in single-parent families, and to experience instability of families especially minority and poor children. His view why the US has high marriage and divorce rates, which is called family metabolism, is attributed to cultural and economic forces that have continually transformed family ...

Introduction

The last few decades have witnessed a massive increase in the incidences of homeschooling in the United States. This is a deviation from earlier years throughout the 19th Century where many students received their education in formal learning institutions. In fact, up to the 1970’s, almost all the students in the United States received their education in schools. This trend however started changing, and homes became popular education locus where parents elected to educate their children at home rather than take them to school.

The resultant effects of recession on vacancies and housing policies in major Sunbelt cities are regrettably devastating in the society. According to Alexander (p. 89) ad Fisher (p. 36) in their independent studies of the house vacancies in these major Sunbelt cities, they indicate that in most instances, housing values revolve around community stereotype and welfare. Consequently, the Sunbelt cities managers have a difficult job in ensuring that they adopt reliable policies, which are aimed at evading the vacancy problems. According to different studies, the house vacancies and depopulation in major Sunbelt cities have emerged due to the loss in ...

Researchers in the field of civic education have discovered the changing trends in attitudes related to civic education. Of importance is the discovery that both family and school relations determine the levels of interaction (Ainley et al., 2011). However, school relations and influence have been found to have a considerably higher influence than family relations. This is particularly because of the high levels of political organization within the school environment. Despite this, the level of influence that the family holds as a variable in civic and political education remains significant (Feith, 2011).
In the US for instance, research studies have ...

Abstract

Its incidence rate has been significant in the New Zealand region where the disease is considered to be pandemic and has accrued a significant burden on the healthcare system for its demands on timely diagnosis and treatment. Although a decline of its incidence in New Zealand was noted, such decline halted sometime in the 1980’s and the rate of incidence becomes consistent thereafter and it remains to be an apparent health problem in the region which is highly associated with migration issues and other factors that ...

2A. Appraising Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Quantitative Study
One source of bias during data collection is the use of self-report data (Polit & Beck 2012). Chivers et al. (2001) obtained data through the SF-36 and Beck depression inventory which required the patients to answer questionnaires. If they failed to give accurate answers, it would have affected the validity of the findings. The study design also allowed patients to receive other clinically appropriate treatments that were beyond the study protocol (Chivers et al. 2001). Additional treatments are confounding variables but their influence on the study outcomes was not estimated in the statistical analysis. This reduces confidence in ...

In Prefatory Notes Freud speculates about the political systems of USSR, Italy, and German and concludes that abandoning of the religion, as it is in the Soviet Union, can lead to more freedom, including sexual one but this can be harmful to people because it leads to barbarism. On the other hand, Catholic Church in Italy does its best to protect culture along with other moral issues though it is the enemy of freedom of thought. Then the author speculates about contradictions between the Church and psychoanalysis that cannot exist together in peace. (Freud 89-92)

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

It is in the nation’s best interest that youth complete as high a level of education as they are capable because dropping out of school can greatly diminish an individual’s chances in life and the ability to contribute to the community. Indeed, participation in tertiary education promotes national economy and innovation (Wierenga, Landstedt, & Wyn 2013, p. 3). The factors that compromise a young person’s ability to obtain a tertiary level education are socioeconomic disadvantage, rural location, and being an indigenous Australian (Wierenga, Landstedt & Wyn 2013, p. 4). Stafford, et al. (2007, Mental Health, para. 1) define ...

Introduction

The participation of girls in athletics tapers off as they transition into teenage hood and as they become young women. The rate at which female teens stop participating in athletics is much higher as compared to male teens. TrueSport (2014) reported that the number of female high school athletes is about 17 times greater than that of female athletes in colleges. This shows a great decline in young girls’ participation in athletics during adolescence. Women’s Sports Foundation (2011) found out that by the age of seven, the number of girls who have quit athletics and sports generally far surpasses ...

Factors such as race, sex and age may be significant benchmarks in the analysis or understanding of epidemiological details such as incidence and mortality rates of oral cancer.1 For instance, the incidence and mortality rates in men are twice more than in women.1 Based on race, African American males have a higher incidence rate than White males.1 This also applies between a comparison between African American females and White females respectively.

Americans express different beliefs in the taboo idea of corporal punishment. Varied opinions exist in light of the said topic. Belief in using and even considering the importance of physical punishment as a method of child discipline has been an impending and resilient method throughout the generations of Americans from since the 17th century to the present. Currently, hundreds of years later, at the forefront of the 21st century, the American positivity on the use of physical punishment has been showing significant signs of decline (Gershoff, 11).
Physical punishment as defined by Gershoff is the use of physical ...

The impact of poverty on the young population is greater than would appear from an outside perspective. Approximately one in six children in Australia lives below the poverty line, a figure that has increased since 2003. Those in poverty are defined as making less than half of the median income. In all 575,000 children were in poverty according to 2009-2010 data.
There are some effects of poverty on childhood development that are not immediately tangible. According to Lipina and Colombo, the impact of various types of deprivation early in life can have lasting cognitive and neurological impacts on ...

Young students who are currently studying in American colleges are an asset to the nation. They are the future leaders and, therefore, it is in the nation’s interest for campuses to encourage healthy habits as they impart curiosity and intellectual discipline.

Literature Critique

The association between viewing television shows at an early age and decline in quality of attention span among children has found formidable support from cross-sectional research design. The research under review, however, takes into consideration the importance of conducting a longitudinal study on the subject matter via use of data involving the age of children at the time of exposure to television watching and subsequent effects in later age. Data on children at the time when they were aged one and three (with separate sample sets per age) and detection of subsequent attention span problem signs at age seven has found gauging ...

Dickinson’s “Crumbling is not an instant's act”and Shakespeare’s “That time of year thou mayst in me behold”

Emily Dickinson’s poem, “Crumbling is not an instant's act,” is a fascinating description of how a person’s life or self disintegrates. Reading this text by Dickenson gives the feeling of seeing a deeper truth about a common concept, which in this case is personal “crumbling,” “dilapidation,” or “slipping” (1, 3, 12). Emotions that are depicted in the poem include wonder, detachment, and resignation. The wonder felt about “crumbling” comes from the visual descriptions that Dickinson gives to the process, calling it “a Cobweb on the soul” and “Devil’s work” among other things (5, 9). Dickinson describes the process of “crumbling” as ...
