In“Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics: Introduction,” James Paul Gee introduces his readers to the concept of a Discourse with a capital D. Discourses with a capital D according to Gee are “saying (writing)-doing-being-valuing, believing combinations” (6). They are important “combinations”(6). This is for the reason that “identity kits” can help someone see who you are, and they allow you to gain entrance into other Discourses such as a Dominant Secondary Discourse by having the proper make…
The purpose of this study is to measure the differences between age in relation to risk-taking/impulsiveness and reaction time. The reason being, we are interested in figuring out whether or not younger adults are more prone to risk-taking and impulsiveness than the older adults are. Risk taking is an important form of human behavior that has been the subject of numerous investigations, scholarly analyses, and policy debates (Byrnes, 1998; Slovic, Lichtenstein, & Fischhoff, 1998). Risk-taking…
Multicollinearity Multicollinearity is one of the common problems in spatial regression analysis. Sometimes some or all of the explanatory variable are highly correlated in the sample data, which means that it is difficult to tell which of them is influencing the dependent variable (Barrow, 2009, p. 306). Hence, to check whether the independent variables are correlated with each other, a correlation matrix for the three indicators was measured using excel. The correlation matrix in table 2…
“Nurses cannot expect legislators to have an accurate and full understanding of the important contributions that nurses make to the health of the nation. Rather, it is a nursing responsibility for nurses to take the message to them (Alligood & Miles, 2011, p. 7). This is a call to action for nurses to take active leadership in policy making to effect change in healthcare. Nurses have the knowledge and the understanding of how social inequities drastically affect their patient population.…
pylori, the CD80 gMFI values of THP-1 cells exposed to H. pylori derived products in the absence of LPS stimulation were determined and compared with the corresponding value of negative controls. Statistical analysis of the values was then performed using one way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test to find any statistically significant differences between the means of CD80 gMFI values of the negative control, positive control, and test samples. Samples able to activate…
groups (intervention group is 48% and control group is 56%), which means, it is associated with the exposure. 2b. If we perform this unplanned subgroup analysis, the people in smoker subgroup going to have higher risk than non-smoker subgroup, because the confounder may associated with exposure. In addition, because this is an unplanned subgroup analysis, there are unequally distribution between smoker subgroup and non-smoker subgroup, and study not randomize. Two statistical issues will be…
Moreover, these methods like neural networks and manual or automated technical analysis assume a fixed relationship and do not accommodate well to the ever changing dynamics in the global economy and the change in the relationships (divergence/decoupling) between these four markets. Many factors influence the change in the relationships between these markets, among them Geo-political factors. In “Intermarket Analysis and Investing: Integrating Economic, Fundamental, and Technical Trends” (Gayed…
