D Q. 14-6 It will largely depend on what the research intends to achieve. For instance, supposing the intention of data collection gathers ideas behind patronizing certain types of music, and there are no intentions to conduct inferential analysis on the data, heterogeneous sampling will be appropriate. Some of the techniques that can be used in heterogeneous sampling include conducting panel sessions, plain group discussions or brainstorming sessions (Collis, & Hussey, 2013). On the other hand, if the data collection exercise intends to investigate the reason as to why certain types of music are favored by a larger percentage of ...

The simple random sampling would ensure a high level of representativeness; but it is time consuming and tedious, since every person in the target would have an equal chance of getting selected. Cluster sampling, on the other hand, would be easy and convenient because every person in the target population would be willing to take part in the activity (University of Hawaii, 2001, p.1). However, it is possible that the members would be different from one another and would have no association, which would lessen the technique’s effectiveness. Researchers select a target population when using sampling strategy depending ...

Once, mankind believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the entire universe as well. Though tempting as it seems, this narcissistic view was perceived due to the observable motions of the visible heavenly bodies in the sky. However, as mankind learns to invent more powerful tools to understand the cosmos, they learn not just the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, but also the place of the Earth in the universe. In fact, the view of our place in the universe gradually changed as science and technology cemented over ...

Introduction

Our galaxy, the star system of our solar system, is called the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a grand cluster of stars visible in the sky as a bright band of fog. In the ancient Greek, the word "galaktikos" means "milk", "milky", so the Milky Way and stellar systems similar to it are called galaxies. In our galaxy, there are more than 200 billion stars of very different luminosity and color ("The Milky Way Galaxy - 200 billion stars", 2016). The Solar neighborhood is the volume of the galaxy, where we can observe and study the stars of ...

The importance and role of demographic identifiers on the development of elite female gymnasts in the United States.

Conceptual definition The USA National gymnastics team is made up of both a junior team and a senior team. Age, as well as skill level, performance, and body type determine whether a gymnast is chosen for the national elite team (USA Gymnastics). However, certain criteria—skill level, for instance—might be determined not by the work ethic of the athlete, but by the month in which the athlete was born and the location that the athlete was born. Tracking these correlational trends will give the researchers a better understanding of the underlying factors that might potentially influence the overall ...

Introduction

China's transformation from a socialist market into a capitalist economy cannot be easily classified into any of the widely known theoretical models of comparative political economy. The two major reforms, the 1980’s market socialism reform and the 1990’s capitalist restoration, elude any well-defined theory of capitalism. However, among the five main theoretical approaches-- the VoC approach, constructivist political economy, the SSA approach, Hemerijck's welfare state transformation scheme, and Esping-Andersen's/Rice's welfare regime typology-- the VoC approach and the SSA approach are the two best theoretical models that can shed light on the continuity and discontinuity between these two ...

Introduction

The transnational corporation (TNC) has been described both as a primary hindrance to growth and a driving force of development. It is viewed both as a main catalyst of underdevelopment through an extensive depletion and transfer of resources to highly developed economies and as a powerful entity able to transform the productive mechanisms in the economically impoverished parts of the globe. Broadly speaking, as defined by the United Nations (UN), the word 'transnational' means “that the activities of the corporation or enterprise involve more than one nation” (Sagafi-Nejad & Dunning 2008, p. 3). Some scholars argued that the definition have ...

The globalizing world has led to the increase of foreign direct investments (FDIs) from multinational corporations (MNCs), particularly in nations that are technologically backward. In turn, increasing FDIs have resulted to technological advancements, which owes to technological spillovers. Therefore, there is an understanding that technological spillovers have come from MNCs, which increases alongside their increasing presence and activity. However, concerns over the viability of the existing framework for determining technological spillovers vis-à-vis MNCs have grown, mainly because the predominant framework characterized by theories of production function, production function, did not provide consistent findings on the ...

There are various data mining tools and algorithms that enable the extraction of information, though some level of statistical expertise is required to use those techniques. Some data mining techniques are decision ...

Data mining refers to the computational process useful for the discovery of large sets of data, which employs methods on knowledge for artificial intelligence, statistics analysis, machine learning and database systems. The data mining process aims at extracting information from a set of data to transform it into a clearly understandable form that is useful for further analysis. Apart from the raw analysis move, the process involves database and data management processes, data pre-processing, model and interface considerations, interestingness metrics, considerations for complexities, post processing for obtained structures, visualization, as well as online updating (Frand, 2013).

It is indeed true that the larger the sample size the more reliable the results. This is because the large size will increase the accuracy of the given research as most of the target population will be taken into consideration. The small sample size will imply very few individuals are considered thereby leading to biasness. The larger the sample sizes the higher the statistical power or accuracy. For instance when checking on the number of fish that have infection in a given pond, the more the fish you pick to study the more you might get a precise answer. The challenge ...

Generalizability

Husserl distinguishes procedure of generalization and specialization of procedures of formalization and deformalization. Generalization is the transition from the spirit to higher on the tree of generic entities and formalization - a "meaningful generalization in a purely formal logic." For example, the transition from "red" to "sensory quality" is a generalization, and the transition from "red" to "adjective" or "chalk" to "beings" or "existing" is a formalization. Similarly, deformalization is filling the empty logical form something meaningful and specialization - descent of the tree of generic. Examples of both we find in mathematics. Example of formalization: the transition from an intuitive understanding ...
