Linkage

Richard Alba and Steven Messner study the concern of guns, crime, and gun control in Gary Kleck’s book “Point Blank”. They publicize the flaws in Kleck’s analysis and linkages within his evidence and inferences. They concur with Kleck on the gun control debate that it needs grounding in the evidence and set out to examine the foundations for some of the contentious conclusions by Gary Kleck and others. The examples they use demonstrate disagreements of authors' opinion on the control of guns.…

The very philosophy of such linkage is that the more decentralized power to lower echelon of government indeed reduce the prevalence of poverty since decentralization enable local people to participate in their socio-economic and political affair at grass root level. However, it was…

Slavery began in what would become the United States with the importation of twenty enslaved Africans into Virginia in 1619. Given the universality of slavery, its legitimacy was rarely questioned or explained. By the 1660s, English settlers clearly believed that enslavement was a normal, if unfortunate, position in society for which Africans and their descendants were perfectly and naturally suited. However, racism—far from being the original justification for American slavery—emerged over time…

This part discusses the specifications of model to investigate the correlation between FDI and human development. Based on the Sharma and Gani (2014) paper as a basic guideline as well as many previous theoretical and empirical studies, an empirical model is built to estimate any role of FDI in affecting human development. Therefore, this study specifies the general model as follows: HDIit = αit + β1FDIGDPit + β2Aidit + β3Tradeit + β4Govit + β5Ruleit + εit…

What are the key issues that Bruce faces now and what risks are there for an imminent crisis in Bruce’s life? Bruce currently faces various issues in his life. The biggest problem he has is the lack of emotional and financial support. Since his parents passed away and his siblings are not as helpful as needed, he may feel lost and struggle to find a sense of belonging.

Health care workers—both care givers and administrators—require detailed and up-to-date factual information to perform the daily operational tasks that keep a hospital, clinic, or physician practice running. For instance, queries for operational information include: Where is patient John Smith? What are the names of patients who have appointments for a particular day and need reminder calls? What authorizations are required to perform an ultrasound for a patient based on his/her health insurance…

the shareholders of public companies. In other instances, it is easily calculated using things such as earnings per share or the total shareholder return. As such, the top management and shareholders have been accorded a clear view of the existing linkage between pay and the final performance measure. For some companies,…

Adolescents are often preocupied with their body image especially during early adolescence. Girls show more dissatisfaction with their bodies than boys, however, this negetive feeling towards the body becomes more positive towards the end of adolescence(Santrock, 2013). The negetive perception of their bodies creates various feelings of inadequacies and low self esteem during…

the scientists have documented the closeness between human beings and chimpanzees due to the close genetic sequence. The sequence indicates that the DNA profile for humans and chimpanzees especially the bonobos is similar showing some evolutionary linkages (Drake, 2015). History documents that human beings evolved from the apes at least seven million years ago or as early as thirteen million years ago. Various forms of species have been documented over all those years with transitions including;…

A comparative evaluation between the FTIR spectra of CO and MCO reveals a broad, intense and strong absorption band at 3400 cm-1 for MCO. This is attributed to the increase in the number of hydroxyl (OH) groups in MCO after transesterification reaction [17]. Further, the results depicted in table 2 validates the above observation. Both the materials exhibited peak at 1734 cm-1 indicating the presence of the ester carbonyl group. Meanwhile, the band visualized at 1100 cm-1 in CO can be assigned…
