Introduction to Exchange Rate Determination

Determination of the exchange rate in economics has been one of the major practices in economics that has attracted diverse views. Various theories have been developed to explain the determination of the exchange rate in various schools of thought. The monetary model has been one of the earliest models used in the of the exchange rate determination. However, it provides a good benchmark of comparing other models of interest determination. In addition, the model plays an imperative role in developing insights of capturing long trends. In the monetary model exchange rate are determined through the forces of demand and ...

Self-determination theory is a motivational theory that is premised on human feelings. The theory seeks to examine factors that motivate an individual from within. It is concerned with internal motivators. Under self-determination, a person would arrive at a decision or make a choice based on the internal motivators rather than extrinsic consequences. Self-determination theory was propounded by Ryan and Deci. According to the two professors, intrinsic determinants should be divorced from extrinsic determinants. The former would fall under the self-determination theory.
Self-determination theory influences human being in arriving at decisions and conclusions. First, a person would consider the overall ...

Motivation Case Overview

For the context of this motivation case analysis, I have chosen to analyze myself in terms of my level of motivation and ways in which I can improve it, consequently improving the motivation and academic outcomes of my students. After analyzing my case through the lens of social cognitive theory and self-determination theory (SDT), I have determined that I have a lack of self-efficacy for completing tasks and engaging with students who require help. I also have poor stress management, as the pressures of completing classroom tasks and day-to-day education administrative work diminishes my motivation to teach and engage. ...

Elements of the Self-Determination Theory

The Self-Determination Theory proposes that autonomous motivation is distinct from controlled motivation (Gagne and Deci, 2005) where autonomy “involves acting with a sense of volition and having the experience of choice” (Gagne and Deci, 2006, p. 333) while controlled motivation involves external regulation. It proposes that uninteresting activities require extrinsic motivation; thus, making the activity externally regulated.

External regulation is the use of external factors to initiate and maintain a behavior. However, the Self-Determination Theory names another type of extrinsic motivation where the regulation of a behavior and the value that is associated with it becomes internalized. Internalization is ...

A basic kinetic study of a chemical reaction often involves conducting the reaction at varying concentrations of reactants. In this way, you can determine the order of the reaction in each species, and determine a rate law expression. Once you select a reaction to examine, you must decide how to follow the reaction by measuring some parameter that changes regularly as time passes, such as temperature, pH, pressure, conductance, or absorbance of light. In this experiment we will use color change to derive the initial rates of the reaction. Before coming to lab you should read in your text ...

Introduction

Motivation is the drive that an individual has towards a certain goal. Motivation contributes by influencing the effort and interest that an athlete puts to a task. Hager (124) in his study describes motivation as a personal matter because what motivates an individual at a certain time may not motivate another individual at the same time. To improve and maintain an athlete’s performance motivation is essential. Athletes who lack motivation are likely to skip regular session of training and hence may not get to fully train with the required intensity. Miller (87) in his study states that lack ...

How does the presence of ionic material affect a CMC?
Amphiphilic surfactants have both polar and non-polar parts in their molecules. Whenever their concentration surpasses the crtitcal micelle concentration (CMC), surfactants molecules organize themselves in a special structures and form micelles. Micelles in aqueous environment are organized in the way that charged hydrophilic ‘head’ groups of surfactant molecules closer to the surface of a micelle and exposed to water. Whereas, hydrophobic ‘tails’ are directed inside a micelle to avoid contact with water molecules. There is electrostatic repulsion between charged head groups of the surfactant molecules. Therefore, the molecules tend ...

Introduction

Just like a celebrity, the ideas of Benedict Anderson need no introduction. The scholar, theorist and modern philosopher holds the most peculiar ideas about nationalism. Benedict believes that the nation is an imagined community based on the absence of some factors. On the contrary, Partha Chatterjee believes that there was a big difference between the form of nationalism in Asia and Africa, and that in European countries. Partha Chatterjee argues that the main differences lie in the forces and reasons behind such nationalism. Worth mentioning is that nationalism is defined by the same metrics by the two scholars, but ...

The Westphalian system came about because of the peace treaties of Westphalia and Osnabruck in 1648 that officially marked the end of the 30 years war that destroyed a larger part of Europe between 1618 and 148.
