TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 1 THE CORNERSTONES OF SURVEY RESEARCH 1.1 Introduction The idea of conducting a survey is deceptively simple. It involves identifying a specific group or category of people and collecting information from some of them in order to gain insight into what the entire group does or thinks; however, undertaking a survey inevitably raises questions that may be difficult to answer. How many people need to be surveyed in order to be able to describe fairly accurately the entire group? How should the people be selected? What questions should be asked and how should they be posed to respondents? In addition, what data collection methods should one consider using, and are some of those methods of collecting data better than others? And, once one has collected the information, how should it be analyzed and reported? Deciding to do a survey means committing oneself to work through a myriad of issues each of which is critical to the
PSYCHOLOGY PART 1: CORE Biological level of analysis Outline principles that define the biological level of analysis. 1) Behavior can be innate, because it is genetically based. Evolution may play a key role in behavior. 2) Animals may be studied as a means of understanding human behavior. 3) There are biological correlates of behavior. Cognitions, emotions and behaviors are products of the anatomy and physiology of our nervous and endocrine system. Explain how principles of the biological level of analysis may be demonstrated in research.

inefficient construction process, but also opens the door for designing new geometric shapes, which until recently have been considered unbuildable. Steel has been extensively used to build some of the most challenging architectural icons of the 21st century, due to its low weight and high strength in both compression and tension. Therefore, the steel design and construction industry has been on the forefront of technical innovation. The purpose of this study is to determine how 3D and BIM are changing the design, fabrication and construction of complex steel structures. The thesis is qualitative in nature, in that it tries to determine the effects of virtual design and construction based on in-depth analysis of two case studies. Data were collected during 5 interviews with people who were intimately involved in the projects. Background information was obtained from professional journals, engineering articles and conference papers
Though this counting method is admittedly superficial, it is an indicator of sentence complexity, and is also tied 3 conceptually to the intrinsic characteristic of style. It is useful to note that this one prox is joined with a number of others to estimate the trin, and would not normally be used as a single indicator for the trait. As alluded to previously, the prox (or prox cluster) variables are regressed against the essay ratings (or in the case where the model is not formulated in an a priori basis, to select the variables and optimize the weights). The validation sample (e.g., 200 cases) is used to evaluate the results from the first set of estimates. Most AES developers use multiple regression to create their models, but one developer uses multiple statistical techniques, and then selects the one that explains the most variance. In the second approach, the evaluation of content may be accomplished through
and mobility is diminished (Adler & Adler, 1999). Even though enduring social categories such as nationality, class and occupation still mediate identity, pluralism and consumerism allow for a more open appraisal of transient styles of life fashioned around patterns of meaningful consumption. Although the concept of lifestyle is gaining speed as a theoretical tool amongst social scientists, it has until now received little import as a perspective of social analysis within the field of tourism. The uptake of lifestyle as an analytical device in tourism has been largely limited to quantitative approaches that use psychographics to segment travel behaviour (see Lee & Sparks, 2007). Outside of tourism, Adler and Adler (1999) examine the migratory patterns of resort workers and the manifestations of their transient lifestyles. Of a similar chord, growing sociological discussion of ‘lifestyle migration’ focuses on individuals who

It is known that humans, interacting with each other or their environment, have emotional reactions that are individually regulated. These emotional responses are linked to changes in autonomic and neuroendocrine systems, which are essential for metabolic support when preparing the body for action. Since emotion can influence such important processes like learning, decision-making,

Here we provide an alternative approach for the characterization of a set of internal transcribed spacer sequences found within every rDNA repeat unit by implementing direct sequencing methodology. The prominent allelic variants and their relative amounts characterizing an individual can be described by a single sequencing electropherogram of the mixed amplicon containing the variants present within the genome. We propose a method for rational analysis of heterogeneity of multicopy genes by compiling a profile based on quantification of different sequence variants of the internal transcribed spacers of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia fluviatilis as an example. In addition to using conventional substitution analysis, we have developed a mathematical method, the proportion model method, to quantify the relative amounts of allelic variants of different length using data from direct sequencing of the heterogeneous amplicon

nowadays in a great deal of experiments aimed at the research of audiovisual text reception, as well as the relevance of the information provided in this type of texts. Using eye-tracking technology, he tested three different presentation times for subti- tles: two lines of 32 characters in 4 seconds (approximately 192 wpm), 6 seconds (130 wpm) and 8 seconds (96 wpm) respectively. The object of this study was to ascertain if the six-second rule (a full two-line subtitle displayed on screen for 6 seconds and shorter subtitles scheduled proportionally), accepted as common practice in most sub- titling countries, could be validated by empirical research on reading speed. His re- sults leave little room for doubt, the six-second rule being identified as setting the ap- propriate reading speed for the participants
nearly catch up by the middle of the 21st century. Between 2010 and 2050, the world’s total population is expected to rise to 9.3 billion, a 35% increase.1 Over that same period, Muslims – a comparatively youthful population with high fertility rates – are projected to increase by 73%. The number of Christians also is projected to rise, but more slowly, at about the same rate (35%) as the global population overall. As a result, according to the Pew Research projections, by 2050 there will be near parity between Muslims (2.8 billion, or 30% of the population) and Christians (2.9 billion, or 31%), possibly for the first time in history.2 With the exception of Buddhists, all of the world’s major religious groups are poised for at least some growth in absolute numbers in the coming decades
for the Thames estuary. But there is no evidence that it really originates there - and is probably far more geographically diverse in its origins. The description is also stupid, since it omits the name of the river - as if the Thames were the only river with an estuary. It is yet more stupid because the distribution of the accent has no real connection at all with the river estuary (whereas this might have been the case in past ages for the speech of communities whose lives, trade and occupations were determined by a river). To conclude, linguists argue that (1) London influence on English is not only apparent on the Thames estuary (Rosewarne himself wrote: "it seems to be the most influential accent in the south-east of England", not only in the Thames estuary), and (2) `Estuary English' is not a felicitous or adequate name. Nonetheless, it is now so

are simply much more important than low costs and speed. This low-cost and speed imperative is directly related to the main battle-cry of NPM, efficiency, which is invariably defined much too narrowly in NPM perhaps, this misunderstanding is even defining, and systemic to, NPM. Efficiency is a relative concept that is based on context and appropriateness: it is efficient to achieve a certain effect with a minimum of resources. But this effect, in the case of the state, is denoted by several auxiliary but necessary conditions such as the ones mentioned above; it is never profit maximization. (It could be argued that most activities carried out by the public sector are there precisely because no direct profit or gain can be made.) If you go for savings and neglect context and even the actual goals, you will not be efficient but rather the ultimate wastrel. (Not for nothing are wastrels and

In the first part author is going to write about the basics of liberalism. In the second part writer is going to give a brief overview of IMF and World Bank and the criticism about these organizations. In the third part essay explores the Ecuador case and looks it through the realism. To understand this essay better, author has divided it into chapters. Work conclusions and future research opportunities are presented in the summary. 3 Basic of liberalism Liberalism is one of the oldest theories and it contrasts to realism that has rather pessimistic approach not like liberalism that tries to be optimistic.

about 13.4 billion connected devices back in 2015 and the projections show there might be up to 38.5 billion such devices in 2020 [2]. As the number of devices increases, the necessity for a proper security mechanism concerning those devices becomes a priority in order to safely adopt the evergrowing internet of things into every aspect of a persons daily life. Privacy One of the most discussed issues concerning the security of the internet of things is the issue of privacy. According to a study done by HP, 70 percent of the most frequently used IoT devices containt vulnerabilities. One of the most common security issue was privacy related. It appears that 90% of the tested devices collected at least one piece of personal information [3]. Due to the variety of tasks the devices connected to the IoT monitor and administer, the amount of information to extract from those devices is fairly large. A british IT-consultant discovered that the LG made smart-TV

EU Internal Market Law Mid-term online evaluation assignment for Distance Learning Students The Assignment: Hypothetical Case In the Member State A several NGOs, uniting parents concerned with safety of children and young adults, ordered a study of dog attacks on people (and especially children) resulting in deaths or maiming. The aim of the study was to identify, if possible, the dog breeds of potentially enhanced danger for people. The study’s results showed that pit bulls and their close mixes as well as Rottweilers and their close mixes were jointly responsible for over 70% of attacks. The authors of the study explained the statistics by popularity, big size and powerfulness of the named breeds and their ability to do a lot of damage. Besides, about the pit bull attacks the absence of warning from a dog played a

I believe that knowledge that is obtained with difficulty is more valuable when it comes to human sciences. Easily produced scientific knowledge tends to have little value and it’s because scientific knowledge is mainly discovered and not everything will be discovered at once. First theories are formed based off of existing facts and information and then scientists look for evidence to support their theories. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they don’t. In the case of the discovery of DNA structure and function it took countless trials and errors before Watson and Crick were able to propose the double helix. To accomplish that they relied heavily on the discoveries that other scientists had made 1 before them. Mainly on Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray diffraction images of DNA.1 The knowledge obtained took a lot of effort from many different scientists along with a lot of time to produce
in mind the principle of sustainability context. With respect to the environmental measures in the report, organisations are encouraged to relate their individual performance to the broader ecological systems within which they operate. 9 3) Social Performance Indicators The social dimension of sustainability concerns an organisation’s impacts on the social systems within which it operates. Social performance can be gauged through an analysis of the organisation’s impacts on stakeholders at the local, national, and global levels. In some cases, social indicators influence the organisation’s intangible assets, such as its human capital and reputation. Social performance measurement enjoys less of a consensus than environmental performance measurement. Through its consultative process, GRI has selected indicators by identifying key performance aspects surrounding labour practices, human rights, and broader issues
INTRODUCTION Today more and more disputes are caused by the enormous spread of the English language throughout the world. Some scholars claim that it has already become the first global language. And this statement isn't far from truth. But what does it mean to say that a language is a global language? Why is English the language which is usually cited in this connection? How did the situation arise? And could it change? Or is it the case that, once a language becomes a global language, it is there for ever? [1, pg.2] These are fascinating questions to explore, whether your first language is English or not. A global language is a language that is spoken internationally and is learned and spoken by a large number of people as a second language. A global language is characterized not only by the total number of speakers (native and second language speakers), but also by
and the short-term horizons of the electoral process. This deficiency is unfortunate because academics have the potential to offer practitioners the solid theoretical background that might inform richer, better developed statements about the future. The relative absence of academic attention to the future may stem from several causes. Neglect of the future may also arise as a byproduct of a newly strengthened focus on spatial analysis. Space and time are two essential dimensions for describing the world, but it is difficult to focus on both at once. As opposed to the needed focus on time, recent developments in urban theory have emphasized spatiality, contributing significant new discoveries about the importance of spatial context for regional development. Simultaneously, the rise of a new technical mode of data analysis and display, geographic
(Verplaetse, 2008). Since 9/11 and the following fight against terrorism it became clear that the Bush administration thought of torture as something justifiable while it goes against all possible agreed upon treaties and conventions. One could indeed possibly think of situations that could serve as an exception to the prohibition of torture but these hypothetical situations can hardly relate to real situations. The ticking bomb argument looks at the hypothetical case where a leader of a state is asked to give their permission to torture a captured rebel leader because he (probably) knows the locations of a few explosives that are spread around the city in different apartment buildings. In case they are not found within 24 hours, they will explode and many will be left dead (Walzer, 1973). Is it justified to torture this person to find out where the bomb is? This essay will look in to how it has according to the thinkers in the strand of
