Casinos make use of this instinct, the dinging and buzzing slot machines with glitzy décor and table games that create the impression of one’s transfer into a new place coupled with a peculiar experience. ...

Findings

Based on the 2010 HSE data, we have done statistical analysis of all the variables as potential attributing factor to asthma. Variables such as salary, Smoking habits, Ethnicity, Drinking habits and Sex were analyzed. It was found that salary is negatively correlated with asthma or in simple words as the income of a household increases, chances of asthma reduce. Drinking was also found as a contributing factor to asthma. Heavy drinkers are less prone to asthma than non-drinkers.

Introduction Monetary policy is a vital tool for the Government to mend economic problems in a country. Economic theory can be applied into monetary policy to know which move policy makers can do to meet their desired economic measures. For example, in economic theory, reducing the money supply will lower aggregate demand, because people will have lesser purchasing power. This will also lead to other economic fluctuations because of the decrease in aggregate demand. A very good example is the money contraction France did in 1724. By collecting ideas from Francois Velde (2009) on his analysis on the events that ...

- Describe a situation where a Goodness-of-Fit Test could be used We know, that chi-square goodness-of-fit test is a non-parametric test which helps us to understand if there is a significant difference between observed and expected frequencies of some experiment.

Where f0 are observed frequencies, fe are expected frequencies.

For example, consider the coin tossed 100 times with the result of 65 tails and 35 heads. We want to test hypothesis if the coin is symmetric. If the coin is symmetric, then expected frequencies will be 50 and 50. So, X 2Pearson = (Oi-Ei) 2/Ei = (65-50) 2/50 + (35-50) 2/50 = 2*225/50 = 9. The resulting value should be compared with ...

One of the key processes of the world economy on the brink of the XX-XXI centuries is progressing globalization, i.e. a qualitatively new stage in the development of the internationalization of economic life. These days, globalization is being discussed very often; it is a buzzword, which quickly turned into some kind of a slogan, a key, which can open the door to any existing and future mysteries. For someone “globalization” is all that he needs for happiness, for others—the cause of all the misfortunes. However, for all of us, globalization is an inevitable fatality of our world, irreversible process, the process, ...

As I went out for a walk, I was perfectly aware of my decision to walk to that particular place. Of cause, I had a few places in mind after knowing that I had to go to a place that was easily accessible on foot. However, when I had to turn right or left without influenced decisions, I was not aware of making choices especially when I had to repeat the procedure ten times. I found myself making right turns almost as much as I made left turns for the ten trips. As I did that, I felt a sense of freedom and ...

The fallacy is based on independent events where the outcome of one event does not influence the other also called random events. The fallacy argues that if a certain outcome is favored then as you ...

The history of the formation and development of the American federalism is interesting because, in spite of all its specific features, it largely reflects the general trends that are inherent in any federal state. Such, for example, as a struggle between the center and the subjects of the federation for the rights and powers, as the trend towards centralization of power, and so on. In other words, it indicates the urgency of the problem of the relationship between the central government and form part of any complex public education.

Introduction

Determinism is a word used in philosophy to describe the idea that all events, actions, decisions and forms are a consequence of antecedent or past events that were inevitable. In its extreme philosophical sense, the word determinism describes naturalism, or the idea that everything is natural including our decisions and human behaviors. It is very important to separate the word determinism with pre-determinism, another term that vaguely describes the idea that everything in the universe is predetermined. The concept of determinism has been around for thousands of years albeit taking different terms, among them, necessitarianism, a term that describes the inevitability that ...

Description of a Past Experience on Committing a Deviant Act

Background: My Past Experience on Deviance Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences that involve the commission of a deviant act is my intentional use of a jar filled with eighty quarter-dollar coins to pay for items that cost close to, but not more than $20 in mall stores. During that time, I was very aware that there really is nothing wrong with paying for items using quarter-dollar coins inside a jar, given that there is no state or federal law that regulates the use and amount of certain currency denominations allowed for cash ...

Introduction

Oedipus tragedy is predicted even before his birth in the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, as his father, Laius, will meet his fatal death in his hand and he will marry his own mother, Jocasta, when he grows up. The oracle is the major reason for his parents to infanticide him. Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher, adverts Oedipus as a best example of tragic hero ever. Aristotle’s panorama about Oedipus is vividly described in the following lines: “must be one who is highly renowned and prosperous-a personage like Oedipus” (Poetics XIII paragraph 2) and “he who hears the tale ...

Executive summary

Government agencies, central banks, and other financial agencies are overtly racing to define the legal status of the recently discovered digital coins, bitcoins, and the decentralized digital currency system. Tracing the coin’s rapidly advancing legal status is prodigious. In the bitcoin system, transactions are recorded in a ledger, without the intermediation of a single authority. Whereas countries continue to embrace the bitcoins, others are implementing strict policies to curtail its use. Through a review of literatures that exists over the use of bitcoins, various scholars seem to support its use. A research on a sample of 30 people who filled questionnaires reveal ...

This would also help to determine the individual’s ability for handling larger amounts of responsibility. When it comes to training non-commissioned officers and junior soldiers, two of the best principles for me to use ...

In Charlie Chaplin’s 1940 comedy The Great Dictator, Chaplin’s first silent film, the renowned comedian and silent-film joymaker takes one of his biggest risks – making a film about Adolf Hitler, who at the time of the film’s release was one of the most hated and tyrannical figures alive. More than just the typical slapstick comedy, The Great Dictator sees Chaplin taking many different chances – unlike his previous film, Modern Times, this film would fully embrace the sound era, with nearly the entire film being filled with dialogue and fully-verbose characters. Even riskier than that, however, is the ...

Educational Affiliation Introduction The Opium Wars refer to two wars fought in the 19th century between Imperial China and Britain initially, then the combined forces of Britain and France with the support of Russia and the United States. The Western powers emerged victorious while China, as the vanquished party, signed treaties favoring the West. The war’s name is somewhat a misnomer. Although the opium trade triggered the wars, Eastern and Western civilizations fought in the wars for other issues deeper than opium like free trade (Allingham, 2006).

Soccer Rules

Rules in any game provide a form of control that makes the game interesting. Different sports have different rules. The rules are what define the identity of the sport.

In soccer games where teams are competing for a trophy, there is normally an additional thirty minutes of overtime play that is normally ...

Philosophical context

Indeed, the question put forth excites any citizen into critical thought. This comes in the wake of President Obama’s assumption of office for his second and final term. The question as to whether one should support his economic agenda borders on whether one has got preferences as to any economic policies. Philosophy requires of us to exercise critical thought and look at the wider spectrum despite our own internal preferences. The question could thus be put forth more precisely by noting that despite the differences in ideology, and for the sake of the common good of the citizen, ...

When people think of money, the main thoughts are usually how to get more, how to protect what one already has, and how to make good decisions about its use. Money is something that is at least a secondary thought to many of the decisions that we make in life. Money is a “medium of exchange.” It is one of the greatest philosophical concepts in history. The use of money enables the exchange of goods and services that cannot occur with bartering to occur. When money changes hands, the premise behind the exchange is that it is voluntary and for ...

It is a remarkable fact of Roman civilization that it did not introduce a system of coinage until the late third century B.C., coinciding approximately with the Republic’s final defeat of the Carthaginians. Romans had used crude bronze fragments and “ramo secco” bars during the fourth, and up to the late third century (Burnett 15). Many historians have theorized that the adoption of a formal coinage system was a result of Roman interaction with the Greek world, Rome having traded intensively with the people of Magna Graecia, the Greeks of southern Italy, during this period (Burnett 15). As the Greeks knew, the ...
