Should Schools Decrease Class Sizes to Improve Student Outcomes?

Introduction
The idea that by reducing class sizes the students will automatically perform better and thus achieve higher grades may seem logical; i.e. that if the student-teacher ratio is lower, then the teacher can spend more time with each individual in the class. Also, that there is less likely to be disruption with a smaller number of students in the same room. It is a topic that has long been discussed, argued, and to some extent has also been tried, and has been the subject of various research studies over a considerable number of years.
Much of the research Continue reading...

Age of maturity is a very important aspect of growth and development that has been at the forefront of many scientific experiments over the years. Berrigan and Charnov(Berrigan & Charnov, 1994) first came up with a postulate on how the size and age of maturity of reptile and fishes were interrelated. Berrigan and Charnov through their paper, created a scientific puzzle wherein, the growth is positively correlated to slight increase in temperature, therefore creating a positive slope in the size-to-age at maturity reaction norm. On the other hand, if food is the deciding factor Continue reading...

The consumerism cultures today in the United States and the United Kingdom have led to the growth of the plus size population, which has positively affected the fashion industry. In the past, there were few options available for the plus size population to buy their clothes and a few range of options to choose from them. However, most fashion stores have identified the increasing trend of the plus size people and are equally responding to their fashion need by stocking the stores with fashionable and trendy clothes and other wears.
The plus size fashion generally defines the women from Continue reading...

Size has become one of the important factors that people look at whenever they think of acquiring a piece of art. Gigantism has become a big player in the world of art and in the art market. Many buyers of art have been heard making statements such as ‘big is the best’. Whenever they shop for a work of art, they go for big. Price is proportional to the size. The bigger the artwork, the higher its price is (Dutton, D. (2009).). Some people, however, insist that just because something is big, it is not good necessarily.

Introduction

Demography is the study of the human population. Ideally, human population is studied in terms of the size, the composition, and the distribution of persons across the specified area of study. The three major demographic elements that are used to determine the composition and causes of different population changes include birth, death, and the migration of people. First, the population of a place may be described in terms of some of the common demographic features such as sex, age, household status and family composition. However, demography can also be described in terms of the social and economic context. That Continue reading...

The evolution of the vertebral column has been quite unclear ascribed to limited fossils of Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene hominids. However, the few samples discovered, have contributed significantly to the development of knowledge in line to evolution and understanding of the postcranial skeleton or otherwise the hominids. The distinctive features which encompass dental and cranial pieces avail the earliest evidence of hominids and their existence (Jurmain, Kilgore &Trevathan, 2009). The immediate hominid ancestors, as well as the modern humans, are discerned from apes by more perceptible features than the teeth and jaw dimensions (Jurmain, Kilgore &Trevathan, 2009). Examples of the Continue reading...

Selecting the right study sample is influenced by the intended population size and purpose of the study. It is also essential to understand the sampling error/precision to determine the range where the true value should be drawn from and the estimated risk level also known as the confidence level and the variability involved (Israel, 2013). In selecting the sample size, the researcher can use several basic methods which involves using the entire population as the research sample in case the study population is small, use of sample sizes that have been used in similar studies or use of already Continue reading...

As the global economy deteriorates, the median family wealth falls dramatically, and the cost of raising children becomes more and more expensive. Parents are forced to plan their families and have only the children whom they can care for. The cost of bringing up a child stretches beyond food, shelter, clothing, education, health care, and transport. With the increase in the cost of food, gas, health care, education, and so on, child rearing becomes even more expensive. The overall impact is a decrease in family size. This paper analyzes the family size in two countries, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Continue reading...

Question 1

a)
i) If genomic DNA from the wild type bacterium were digested with EcoRI, three different fragments would be detected. The approximate sizes of the fragments would be 1.625 Kb, 1.375 Kb and 0.25 Kb. This is because there are two different digestion sites for EcoRI within the region complementary to the probe, and therefore three different fragments would partially hybridize with it after the digestion.
ii) There are only two restriction sites for BamHI shown in the diagram, but neither of them is within the region complementary to the probe, and both of them are upstream of this Continue reading...

Introduction

The discovery of restriction enzymes (REs), bacterial transformation, and agarose gel electrophoresis caused the sudden increase of popularity of molecular biology in the 1970s. Restriction enzymes allow the manipulation of specific sites of an organism’s genes and are commonly used in many laboratories worldwide. Restriction enzymes cut DNA in many different ways and can produce sticky ends and blunt ends (Weaver, 2012). The most abundant type of restriction enzymes is Type II, which require magnesium cations as cofactor (Pingoud et al., 2005). Aside from their popularity is recombinant DNA technology as a “cut and paste” tool, estriction enzymes Continue reading...

Abstract. The aim of the study was to validate the existence of vesicles in gram positive bacteria, bacillus subtilis. The visualization of the vesicles was carried out by various microscopy techniques. The measurement of vesicle size was performed and the amount of vesicles compared between various strains. The laboratory cultured strains was more effective in the study as they exhibited hyper production of the vesicles. The production of vesicles was also validated in environmental strain, however in much smaller amount. The vesicles were also visualized and isolated from biofilms that act as the natural environment of the bacteria. Proteomic Continue reading...

Determination of the sample size is informed by knowing various factors. These factors comprise of the effect size which entails the difference that exists between two groups under consideration; for continuous data, the standard deviation of the population should be determined. Another factor is the experiment’s desired power for detection of the hypothesized effect and lastly the stated significance level determines the sample size (Dimitris & Aitken, 2009). The last two factors are generally fixed conventionally while the first two are specific to a certain experiment. The enormity of the effect to be detected by the investigator ought to Continue reading...

In the scholarly article, Brubaker and Johnson (2008) hypothesize that advertisements for male sexual enhancement drugs appeal to males by creating an artificial crisis and then offering a solution. As stated by Brubaker and Johnson, the so-called crisis is “loss of power, control and the ability to dominate; the solution is a larger and more powerful penis that will give men back their sense of manhood” (131). They argue that the advertisements “reassert hegemonic ideals, i.e. the othering of, and domination over, women and phallocentrism” (131). The authors conducted a study of Internet website advertisements. They used a “modified Continue reading...

Population

Population refers to a group of people, events, or things of interest that a researcher wishes to investigate. Statistically, population is any complete group of items with at least one characteristic in common. It is also called a universe. Sociologists define population as the totality of human beings.

Sample

A sample is subgroup of the population. It comprises of some of the items selected from the population. Statistics calculated from samples collected are used to make inferences about the population. A sample is usually collected randomly or systematically from the population using different methods. The researcher is able to draw Continue reading...

Introduction

Sampling refers to the statistical technique of selecting a population subset in order to make observations, as well as statistical inferences. Usually, social science research involves inferring behavioral patterns within particular populations (Frankfort-Nachmias & Nachmias, 2008). Consequently, cost constraints and feasibility necessitate the selection of a sample in order to analyze a particular population. Nevertheless, it is crucial to determine a sample that is adequately representative of the population. Such a sample increases the accuracy of results and inferences. Thus, sampling enhances the quality of observations by ensuring that the units under study are representative of the broader population. An Continue reading...

The research employed descriptive statistics for ordinal and interval data that were presented as medians with ranges and provided the skewed data distributions. The categorical data was analyzed and presented as frequencies. The initial analysis graphed the anxiety trajectories for every participant to discern the pattern changes. The mixed model effects were then employed in the analysis since they accommodate non-homogeneous and correlated residuals that were expected in the repeated measures. The Continue reading...

Introduction

The United States Supreme Court, in the course of its interpreting the tenets of the Constitution, has commonly regarded the 12 man jury panel as critical to the satisfaction of the right to a jury trial by an accused in court, as ruled in Thompson v Utah (1898). However, the High Court has backtracked from this position in recent times, with Justice Byron White enumerating the reasons in the decision of the Court in Williams v Florida (1970). In the decision in Williams, the Court gave several reasons as their justification from retracting from the decision in Thompson.

1. Factor Analysis
Factor analysis is a statistical procedure utilized for data reduction (Bartholomew et al., 2008). This reduction is reflected in lowering a large number of variables that have similar characteristics, into smaller factors (dimensions). Specifically, based on data reduction, factor analysis is conducted to identify the unobservable and underlying structure of a set of variables which are correlated with each other. These variables are coherent but independent of one another. By coherent it implies that the variables are very consistent and relate with each other harmoniously while independent denotes that the outcomes or the results of each Continue reading...
