Understand the problem of the Haitian data management using a difference equation : A case study on the calculation method used by the Office of National Identification (ONI) to generate the list of voters for the general elections of 2015 and 2016.
Get PDFThis study put emphasis on the problem of data management facing the Haitian Government. Such a problem the researcher has addressed with a case study on the calculation method used by the National Office of Identification ( ONI). Since the age voting population deriving from the calculation method used by ONI was an accumulation of those expecting to attain the age voting at time (t+1) adding to those already reached the age voting at time (t) without being exposed to any type of constrains, the goal was to prove how that said population could not have been exempt for haven’t being exposed to any constraints. Using a mathematical model, the researcher proved how the published electorate list by the Provisional Electorate Council (CEP) for the general elections of 2015 and 2016 failing to objectively reflects the age voting population due to lack of data management related to the omission from not subtracting the age voting population on a constant basis from death and migration. Thus, to tackle this problem of data management , the researcher applied simultaneously an exponential equation with death and migration not being computed whose purpose is to validate the calculation method used by ONI, and a difference equation with death and migration computed to validate the hypotheses adding to the path analysis technique to check the type of correlation between each variable. By confronting the respective equations, the results confirmed that the age voting population used by ONI wasn’t effectively subtracted from death and migration while the difference equation (model) as well as the path analysis results proved otherwise. Even though the results of the study exposed the invalidity of that said final list used by the CEP, further research need to be done especially a case study ( at a micro level with a polling center) for a better understanding of the dynamics of the Haitian data management
Students\u27 of the Classroom Teacher and their Effects
No full textThis paper will be looking into the impacts that students’ opinions of the classroom and teacher have on their willingness to cooperate, achievement, and mathematical understanding. The study will mainly focus on gathering information, both qualitative and quantitative, from students to better understand what they believe their needs are in the classroom and what they think the teacher has done to positively and/or negatively impact their classroom performance. There are a plethora of studies out there that describe what best helps students and how opinions of students affect students in various ways. The classroom is meant to benefit the students as much as possible, and a great way to facilitate the best environment for the students is to collect information about what the students believe they need most from the classroom environment. The study will attempt to address what specifically occurs in a classroom that affects students’ willingness, achievement, and mathematical understanding, as well as what specific characteristics of the classroom teacher positively and negatively affect students
Occupational Therapy Student Perceptions of Role-Emerging Fieldwork Placements
No full textOccupational therapy educational programs require fieldwork for application of classroom knowledge to clinical settings. Fieldwork is categorized as traditional or role-emerging, in which occupational therapy services are being developed within the setting. This scoping review explores research addressing occupation therapy masters (OTM) student perceptions of role-emerging fieldwork placements. Fifteen databases were searched, and 13 articles met inclusion criteria. Three themes and ten sub-themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the articles. The results from this study indicate that students experience both challenges and personal and professional opportunities in their setting, and reveals the limited research on OTM students\u27 perceptions in role-emerging placements
Strategic Engagement Planning for Contractor’s Territory Expansion: Blu Building Agency Project
No full textA rural business expanding into two larger suburban and metropolitan markets presents multiple challenges to elevate brand awareness and be a part of the consideration and conversion phases of the consumer decision-making process. In this agency project case, a roofing and contracting company is attempting to re-brand itself with a new name and open two new locations more than 120 miles apart. The markets differ notably from the company’s current headquarters territory. A targeted strategic marketing plan is suggested for three key segments with sample messaging in multimedia, some digital, some traditional, to boost awareness of the new brand
Studying Electron Transfer Kinetics via Computational Methods and Cyclic Voltammetry
No full textElectron transfer reactions are extremely prevalent in nearly all branches of modern chemistry. From quantum computing to organic syntheses, the rate at which electrons transfer between compounds can be supremely important. This experiment studied electron transfer kinetics through computational chemistry and cyclic voltammetry. Building on the research of prior semesters, computational chemical techniques were utilized to optimize linear diradical alkanes of various lengths in counterpoise with other alkanes. All molecular models were constructed in GaussView 5.0, and the jobs were completed using Gaussian 09W. The models were optimized at two basis sets—3-21G and 6-31G—and under Hartree-Fock and DFT B3LYP procedures to analyze the respective effects. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to electrochemically analyze dark chocolate samples for the potential presence of cadmium. Prepared cadmium solutions of known concentrations were used to construct a calibration curve in order to determine relative concentration of the chocolate analytes
The Impact of Offering Algebra 1 in Middle School on Student Achievement
Get PDFA strong background in mathematics can set students up for success in future math classes and STEM careers (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). There has been a push to offer Algebra 1 earlier to prepare students with a strong foundation in mathematics and to allow students to complete Calculus before leaving high school. However, in a district where block scheduling allows all students to complete Calculus in secondary school, does offering Algebra 1 in middle school still improve academic achievement? The main goal of this study is to see how student achievement is affected when implementing a program where advanced students are accelerated to complete Algebra 1 in 8th grade. In other words, how is student achievement impacted before and after the implementation of the Algebra 1 early program for students with similar abilities. Another goal of the study is to analyze the impact an Algebra 1 early program has on student achievement for low socioeconomic students. Two sample t-test and multiple regression analysis techniques were used. This study found that advanced students show no change in achievement with the implementation of an Algebra 1 early program. This means that whether an advanced student completes Algebra 1 in middle school or high school has no impact on achievement. More concerning, grade-level student’s academic performance declines as a result of offering Algebra 1 in middle school. Based on the results of this study, ability grouping in middle school should be avoided

Discovering Appalachian English: An Empirical Perspective
No full textThe paper explores the northern Kentucky variety of the Appalachian dialect (AppE) recorded in the South Shore, Kentucky. The goal of this research was to pinpoint any differences in accent, morphological, syntactic structure of speakers’ language, and vocabulary. The analysis of the recording uncovered phonological changes such as monophthongization as well as non-rhotic pronunciation of various words and vowel raising. The data also showed a surprising syntactic feature that was the use of inanimate agent construction along with the profuse use of double-negative constructions, etc. The vocabulary of the speakers was also very interesting due to the unique use of some of the items such as woodhen for ‘woodpecker’. The main argument of the paper is that these changes are nothing but systematically rule-governed and they don’t hinder the communication between speakers of standard and non-standard varieties. Therefore, these dialects should not be stigmatized in classrooms
