Lastly, the relationships and their significance were established by carrying out the chi-square test between the honey yield and each of the variables of information source diversity, knowledge level and adoption level of apiarist. 3.5.3 Determining factors affecting Adoption Intensity in Apiculture Previous studies have postulated that adoption intensity among smallholder farmers is function of knowledge of the farmer and…

such as the Gini Index and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, demonstrate the income inequality and total output of a country per person, respectively. The more equal a country’s income distribution is within its population, the lower its Gini Index, however the more unequal a country’s income distribution, the higher it’s Gini Index will be (Central Intelligence Agency). The Dominican Republic, Denmark, and Russia illustrate an interesting relationship between Gini Index and GDP per…

The various sayings that we have about America can be accredited to how people view our country as a whole. Of the two sayings, I believe that the “America is a melting pot” is the most used and is in my eyes the best description of what our country was built to be originally. While it does match well with what the country foundation was as to how our country was established, I do not believe it to be in all entirety solidified as to represent what we do with the melting pot of different…

QUESTIONS 1. Is the diversity of mesoherbivores and grasses increased by mesoherbivore grazing and fire? 2. Is soil stability increased by increased mesoherbivore grazing and fire? HYPOTHESIS 1. It is hypothesised that holistic management and planned grazing via mesoherbivores will increase grass diversity and soil stability better than fire because mesoherbivores contribute more to the environment by increasing nutrients in the soil with mulch. They also keep the grass short and in a…

• The Shannon diversity index (H) was applied to the collected data (Equation 1 and Sample calculation 1). Equation 1: Shannon diversity index (H): Results Table 1: Collected species data at Lawrencetown Beach starting at highest tide point (Group 1) Quadrant (m) Distance from shore Species Percent Coverage (%) Heterogeneity…

Spatial variability in local plankton communities can have large effects on the composition and diversity of the secondary production with in an area. Therefore, it is important for scientists to study the factors that affect plankton community’s abundance, diversity and dominance. In this study multiple physical and biological factors were observed in order to examine how surface plankton communities varied with distance from shore in the nearshore environment of the Southern California Bight.…

The Link Between Diversity and Equality Management Practice Bundles and Racial Diversity in the Managerial Ranks: Does Firm Size Matter? Diversity and equality management (DEM) has been a legal requirement since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, in recent years, organizations and leaders have realized the value of a diverse workforce and the competitive advantage the diversity brings. Researchers have suggested that DEM practices such as enhancing the cultural competence of…

How diverse is your country? Explain. For a relatively small and young country, Singapore is a tremendously diverse country. Singapore's diversity can be explained in 3 parts: 1) Race & Ethnicity or Race & Diversity According to the Population White Paper released by the government of Singapore, the percentage of citizens with the following ethnicities in the year 2016 are as follows: Chinese - 76.1% Malays - 15.0% Indians…

Below it is obvious that there is a positive correlation as well between pH and diversity index. Diversity Index is highest where the pH is neutral or slightly basic and lowest where pH is slightly acidic. Similar to how before there was one region with an evidently higher salinity, here it is evident that there is 1 group of data (5 points) with an evidently lower pH. Figure 6. Correlation between pH and Diversity Index from 15 samples at 4 locations (Green Lee, Croyle Run, Roaring Run, and…

Studies also suggest that when the microbiome lacks diversity it can contribute to health problems such as obesity, asthma and type 1 diabetes. This latest study "provides important information for our understanding of the gut microbiome and health risks, in particular, of cardiovascular diseases," said…
