Essays on Dependent

Dependent personality disorder is a pattern of behavior that occurs in early adulthood of both men and women and later with the establishment of important relationships. It best refers to an inflexible and maladaptive impairment trait of a person. The person displays an excessive and pervasive needy, passive and clinging behavior that completely deviates from the normality expectations of a person’s nature. It is a state where a person shows a lot of dependency on others, wanting to be taken care of all the time and is always out to impress them. Simply, this person cannot do alone. Continue reading...

Personal thinking styles

My primary thinking style is affiliative (99 percent) while my backup thinking style is dependent. May primary thinking style can be characterized as constructive. The term “constructive” relates to the styles, associated with self-enhancement and the capability of choosing the mode of behavior that can contribute to the improvement of one’s level of satisfaction. Apart from these characteristics, it is worth mentioning an ability to design healthy relationships with people and accomplish tasks in a proficient manner.

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in
The study by Brinkman, Amadeo, Funk, and Grocott (2013) investigated cerebral desaturation, which frequently occurs in one-lung ventilation procedures for thoracic surgery and is possibly caused by lower cardiac output. The aim of the study was to explore the correlation between decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation that occurs in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation and decreased cardiac output. Although cerebral oxygen saturation was lowered in all of the participants, the researchers did not have statistically significant data that could be used to establish a correlation between cerebral desaturation and cardiac output, so Continue reading...

Single subject research has always posed some significant challenges to researcher s and scientists working in the field of experimental psychology. The fact remains that unlike popular opinion, single subject research can have statistical validity and can provide the necessary tools to provide usable data during many experiments(Kratochwill, 1978). Horner et al., (2005) provided some useful insights on how to assess the quality of a single subject research Continue reading...

Determination of hypothesis

Apparently, the most important hypothesis among the three generated assumptions is the one concerned with security. The exact hypothesis is: The U.S. immigration reform policy circa 2001 to present has not improved the security situation. Apparently, the most prominent concern of the U.S government, when designing such legislation as that relating to immigration, is security. The illegal immigrants are generally associated with such evils as drug trafficking, human trafficking as well as terrorism (West & Brookings Institution, 2010). As such, the effectiveness of the U.S. immigration reform policy circa 2001 to present can only be evaluated by the much the Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

Introduction

The issue of immigration has become very controversial in the last two decades. This controversy has come in light of drastic changes and reforms to the nation’s immigration policies from the year 2001 when the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened. The controversy on the issue of immigration reforms has emanated from the fact that there are those in the society who are in favor of the enacted policy reforms while there are those who vehemently oppose the enacted reforms. However, this paper has committed itself not to analyzing this debate or controversy associated with the immigration reform circa 2001, Continue reading...

Abstract

Econometrics analysis is crucial in developing models that are useful in estimating economic variables. However, development of suitable models is crucial in ensuring that their forecasts are accurate. That involves applying suitable model estimation techniques as well as testing for the estimated parameters’ significance. This study applies multiple regressions to analyze the determinants’ of CPI in United Arab Emirates considering the economy’s data for 30 years with an objective of establishing those factors that have a significant effect on CPI. In that respect, the study analyzes five variables including GDP per capita growth (annual %), Money and Quasi money ( Continue reading...

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is an analysis technique that is applied to two variables in order to determine the strength of relationship between the two variables. This determines how the variables change together. This data analysis technique employs a general linear model. This means that is combines the analysis of variance as well as regression analysis to one data set. One of the variables to be tested has to be an independent variable while the other variable needs to be a dependent variable. The analysis determines the variance of the means of the dependent variable Continue reading...

The usefulness of a study or research is usually dependent on the accuracy and level of confidence of the findings. This will be subject to the procedures and steps as well as the variables used when carrying out the research. The level of accuracy and confidence of a research is determined by its validity; which is the level with which correct inferences are made from the research study results. A researcher always considers the confidence that all observations are from the given variables and the research was not manipulated. Such a kind of confidence shows the internal validity.

INTRODUCTION

for India for a 31 year period starting from 1980-1981 up to 2010-2011 on six independent
variables: Gross Domestic Capital Formation, Net Domestic Savings, Exports, Employment,

Gross Enrolment Ratio and Imports.

MOTIVE
Macroeconomic theory suggests that aggregate demand depends on economy’s investment,
savings, exports and imports. We have gone off the beaten track and included two
unconventional variables- the employment in the public and organized private sector and the
gross enrolment ratio. Our objective behind this has been to show how the spread of
education sector and increased employment opportunities affect the annual growth rate of

GDP and to find out if it has had a significant impact on the economic growth of India in the

past few years.

The reason that we have taken the data of our variables from the 1980s rather

than the 1991, post Continue reading...

Causal Design

The research on offenders and empathy will employ the research design of causal design. This is because the research is an explanatory research with a focus on the why question. For instance, it is quite often to link lack of empathy with crime or in that case with offenders. Thus, say to examine the trends of crimes in relation to empathy among the offenders as well among the non-offenders. It is then quite usual to develop an explanation why crime rate increase among inhuman or empathy-less individuals, why crime is less among empathetic individuals. Additionally, why are some crimes Continue reading...

Abstract

Recently, attention has been diverted to clean, alternative and renewable technologies due to the depletion of petroleum resources and increase of the green house gases from the combustion of fuel resources. Fuel cell is the fore-runner of these technologies and has received immense impetus due to its relatively clean source of energy. Fuel-cells are devices that produce electrical energy from chemical transformation reactions. Electrodes are placed within an electrolyte medium that facilitates oxidation of fuel. In these electrochemical reactions, ions are generated that generate electricity. This electrical energy can be effectively harnessed to carry out a myriad of functions. Continue reading...

Statistical Management

Question 1
Quantitative analysis is a tool that is used to understand, explain and predict behavior of different phenomena using measurement, research, statistical and mathematical modeling. Quantitative analysis provides a scientific approach to managerial decision making because it involves manipulating and processing raw data into meaningful information using a structured procedure. Quantitative analysis involves seven steps; problem definition, developing the model, acquisition of input data, developing a solution, testing the developed solution, analyzing results from the solution and lastly implementing the results.
Problem definition is the most difficult yet most important step in quantitative analysis. The problem needs to Continue reading...

Executive summary

Multiple linear regression analysis is a statistical tool of analysis that is commonly used to forecast a variable, which is dependent on several independent variables based on historical data. Multiple linear regression analysis is normally used to evaluate the nature of the correlation between the dependent variable denoted as y and the independent variables (X1, X2Xn). The developed model is then used to predict levels of the dependent variable y. Multiple linear regressions is important in business, economics, medicine, psychology among many other fields.
The correlation between Y predicted and Y actual is called the multiple correlation coefficients which Continue reading...

There is a time when advertisers need more than descriptive research to understand consumers current behaviors and attitudes. They sometimes require an understanding of cause and effect, which is obtained through experimental research in which an advertiser alters something in the consumer’s environment, or product in order to see what would happen. The goal of an experiment is usually to determine the effect of changes in one area on one or more other areas. An experiment is used to vary the amount of advertising placed in particular markets to determine how advertising weight affects target audience, advertising awareness Continue reading...
