LTPA was measured by frequency measure similar to that used by Mäkinen, Borodulin, Laatikainen, Fogelholm and Prättälä (2009). The stem: “During a regular week before the military service, how often do you exercise at least 30 minutes so that you sweat and get out of breath?” was followed by seven options response scale that was collapsed into four categories: Not at all to once a month = 1, 2–4 times/month = 2, 2–3 times/ week = 3, 4–7 times/week = 4. Eating was measured by a 36-item food…

Fisman and Svensson found some evidence that corruption influences growth at the micro level. They have used the dataset which contains information on the estimated bribe payments of the firms in Uganda. Their dataset contains information from the Ugandan Industrial Enterprise Survey about 243 firms in 5 locations and 14 industries.

During the course of this practical, the different factors of a pendulum will be investigated. A pendulum is a mass held from a fixed point so it is able to swing freely, the mass swings back and forth in an arc. The formula for finding the period of a certain pendulum lies in the change of the length of string suspending the mass, and the force due to gravity where the pendulum is being used. This relationship is shown in the equationT=2π√( L/g) (Sean, 2010), as the length of the string…

Eljelly, (2004) explained that proficient liquidity administration includes arranging and controlling current resources and current liabilities in such a way, to the point that kills the danger of failure to meet due transient commitments and evades unnecessary interest in these benefits. The relationship in the middle of benefit and liquidity was analyzed, as measured by current proportion and money hole (money transformation cycle) on an example of business entities in Saudi Arabia utilizing…

Discussion: Water was transferred from burettes and pipettes to a beaker, in order to see how accurate and precise these instruments would be. The displacement of the burette would be the measured volume of the water. Similarly, the water from the 5.00mL or 10.00mL pipette was transferred to a beaker. The beaker w/ water mass and the initial mass of the beaker was subtracted to obtain the grams of water in the beaker. Using the temperature of the water, the density could be found, allowing…

Does it Screen? Alexander Hamm Period 2 Ms. Ulrich 11/29 (Graphic that represents the lab) Abstract: My experiment is about testing which brand of sunscreen works best, Equate, Banana Boat, or Coppertone. These sunscreens are available at different prices at most any market. The procedures of the experiment were not very complicated, and should be easy to reproduce. First, you put 20 UV sensitive beads into a plastic bag, and put a thick layer of 50 SPF sunscreen on the…
