Purpose of the study

Self-stimulatory behaviors are common among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008). Aggression is also a common behavior problem among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Hill et al., 2014). Various scholars have suggested that an association exists between the self-stimulatory behaviors found in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and aggressive behavior, another common behavior challenge (Dominic et al., 2007 and Kanne & Mazurek, 2011). The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship that exists between the self-stimulatory behavior and aggressive behavior in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

People aged 65 and above comprise the majority of casualties from falls (Al-Faisal, 2006). The prevalence of falls rises continuously with age irrespective of gender and racial/ethnic affiliation. As reported by Stevens and colleagues (2010), “each year, about one-third of all older adults fall. In 2007, an estimated 1.9 million fall injuries among persons aged 65 years and older were treated ...

Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

Moodiness and anxiety are common descriptions used to identify with teenagers. This is as a result of their period in life where they are experiencing a range of emotions and their efforts to control them as well as understand who they are as individuals. As a result, it would be easy to miss depression as a condition that affects this age group. However, according to Schrobdorff (2016), the prevalence of teenagers who experienced a Major Depressive Period (MDE) in 2005 was 8.7%. This rate jumped to 11.5% in 2014, an increase of 37%. Furthermore, despite these statistics, the same ...

A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

Various concepts are crucial in conducting and understanding test statistics. For a scholar or even a social worker to understand how the test statistics are applied in the assessment process, an in-depth understanding of interpretation of test data comes in handy (Neukrug & Fawcett, 2013). The four factors of test worthiness that are accorded ultimate attention are validity, reliability, cross-cultural fairness and practicality. Validity entails investigating the test statistics to ensure they measure what they are supposed to measure. It is often imperative that the accumulated evidence support the intended interpretation and purpose of the test scores. Validity can be ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Statistics is an essential element of comparison in the public service delivery. It creates the avenue to pit one service against the other in a bid to understand the effectiveness of different services within a particular work environment or department. As a result, one can know the details about provision of services to the public and the level of efficiency. Accessing data from the federal government about the operation and services of government departments is important in helping concerned citizens understand the speed with which services are rendered. The report focuses on the Department of Justice to examine various ...

Diabetes in America: Research Proposal

Given the recognition and on-going research into the disease of diabetes, there has probably been thousands and perhaps millions of books and articles written on the subject. The most commonly recognized types are type 1 and types 2 diabetes, but others include gestational, monogeneic, and cystic-fibrosis related diabetes (NIDDK, 2017). It is impossible to determine how many people in the world have diabetes or how many will develop it. The estimates of the amount of money spent in patient care and research are only guesses, and the suffering by diabetes and their loved ones is incalculable. However, this paper ...

However, religions do differ greatly depending on many factors: nationality, geography, climate, historical evolution, political situation ...

Emergency Planning as a Profession In this paper, I will bring forward arguments that emergency planning and emergency management are progressively being recognized as a profession in most parts of the world. Emergencies are usually linked to natural disasters or events caused by humans. In these cases, a need arises to mobilize the population for humanitarian action or self-defense against natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, fires, or human conflict, such as military attack or terrorist threat. The importance of emergency planning is also reflected in the International Humanitarian Law, for instance, in the Geneva Conventions on Protecting the Vulnerable ...

Introduction Registered nurses sometimes work alone or in collaboration with doctors to provide health care services to patients. The roles of registered nurses include taking and recording patients’ symptoms, diagnosing health problems, and administering drugs and treatment (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015). To be successful in the nursing profession, every registered should perform theses role efficiently. Just like all other industries, technology has revolutionized the healthcare industry. These technological advancements do not change nursing fundamentals but rather make the jobs of nurses easier. As such, a nurse should be aware of these methods and be willing to incorporate the ...

Linear Regression (LR) forecasts the value of a random variable (dependent variable) for a given value of an associated independent variable. The regression equation provides the formula for such a calculation. Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES) forecasts the bases its forecasts on a weighted average of past data, with more weight on the more recent periods. A smoothing factor helps in providing weight. It generally forecasts for the short-term. In the present case, we forecast the sales data for year-2 for ABC Furniture Company using both the methods.

Having a job is very important to many individuals, especially because of the difficult economic times that we are living in today. At the same time, though, another reason why getting an efficient job can be difficult, is because of the state of the economy as well.

However, it is also important to mention that as the years have gone by, the economy continues ...

Importance of Confidence intervals

The confidence interval is a set or range of values that a population parameter is likely to fall within (Graham, 2008). It is calculated using the sample statistics and a given confidence level. For instance, a confidence interval of the mean calculated using the sample statistics, gives the lowest and highest possible value of the population mean. The population mean is expected to be within the confidence interval. A point estimate is a single value that approximates a population parameter (Graham, 2008). For instance, a sample mean is point estimate of the population mean, while a sample proportion is ...
