Benefits of a Variable in Developing and Examining Models Seeing that the ability to change throughout the study can be viewed as the basic feature of a variable, it is reasonable to assume that the subject matter may help identify the correlation between the variables available and, therefore, serve as the basis for making a trustworthy forecast. When developing a model, one should incorporate variables so that a certain correlation between the existing factors could be located, and the prognosis could be made (Watson 240). Variables may assist in modeling the possible scenarios, which may occur to the participants involved and affect the subject of the study. Hence, variables allow for not only forecasting but also for identifying avenues for addressing the potential negative outcomes. Thus, variables are the foundation for a trustworthy study and the development of a viable model that can be applied to a variety of situations to solve a number of problems (Wind and Green 44). Purpose of Simple Linear Regression and Scatter Diagrams By definition, a simple linear regression is a statistical tool, which “is appropriate to understand the association between one independent (or predictor) variable and one continuous dependent (or outcome) variable” (“Correlation and Linear Regression” par. 68). The simple linear regression takes the shape of a straight line that allows for locating the correlation between two specific points on the scale (“Correlation and Linear Regression” par. 70). The key purpose of a simple linear regression, therefore, can be defined as the evaluation of the association between the variables under analysis. The tool in question can be used for assessing the effects, which a change in management techniques may have triggered. For instance, the correlation between the number of sales and the number of updates of the company’s website can be viewed as a prime example of the scenario in which the simple linear regression model is required for the analysis (Lee 115). Figure 1. Simple Linear RegressionAs the chart provided above shows, there is a strong connection between the variables, such as the number of site updates per month and the number of customers. Though the simple linear regression model is a rather basic tool for a business management analysis, it should still be used as one of the essential means of interpreting data and forecasting further outcomes. Multiple Regression Analysis and Discussion Another essential tool for analyzing statistical data, multiple linear regression is a tool that helps model relations between three or more variables, one of them being the responsible one. The subject matter is typically defined as a “general system for examining the relationship of a collection of independent variables to a single dependent variable” (Bazan and Bicharra 758) and can be considered an important tool in the statistical analysis that involves the evaluation of multi

Celtic Christianity referrers to the early Christians’ characteristics exhibited by the British Isles inhabitants between the 4 th and 6 th century. As early as the 4 th century, Celtic religion was the most popular religion across Europe. Since its inception, the Celtic religion has persistently opposed the Roman Catholic Church and its influences. Overtime, the perception about Celtic Christianity has varied as the religion continuously changed. However, Celtic Christianity has distinctively remained opposed to the Roman Catholic Church influences. There were several controversial believes held by Celtic believers in the middle Ages. Such believes included the denial of the existence of the Pope and respect to the nature. In the 19 th century, scholars noted that the Celtic religion was an organised Christian denomination of its time that significantly united the Celtics together and prevented the Roman Catholic from interfering with their practices. However, modern scholars have disputed most of the Celtic religions’ doctrines terming them as problematic and lacking substantive evidence. Although the British and the Irish had different cultures and methods of worships, there existed a few similar traditions between both groups. The differences were because of the geographical diversity of the Irish and the British populations. Some scholars, on the contrary, suggest that the British and the Irish Christian populations were never completely against the Roman Catholic Church and the pope’s authority. Some of the middle Ages literatures depict the Celtic religious and cultural values as neither pro-women nor nature friendly as earlier stated. Scholars and theologies have used the Lindisfarne Gospels overtime to analyse the history, growth, and influence of the Celtic religion in the eastern and northern parts of Europe. The book is a product of the ancient book painting. It has survived through several centuries. Every record known on the manuscript was derived from the original manuscript written in Anglo –Saxon in the year 960. The manuscript was written by a cleric named Eldred. Eldred wrote the Lindisfarne to honour bishop Cuthbert’s death. However, some scholar
Introduction The use of intellectual quotient to measure human intelligence is common among psychologists. Businesses, organizations, and medical practitioners use the IQ scale because it is instrumental in providing solutions, identification of talents and unique abilities, determination of intelligence levels, and helping people with writing, learning, and speaking problems. However, some scholars have criticized the use of IQ to measure human intellectual capacity. The scholars cite shortcomings like the inability of the IQ scale to provide accurate results and determine intelligence. Therefore, the purpose of the term paper is to discuss the reliability of IQ in measuring human intelligence. Description of the Issue Intellectual quotient is a score resulting out of many standardized tests whereas intelligence is a unified general capacity of the mind to acquire knowledge and resolve problems through reasoning. A psychologist called William stern pioneered the concept of intellectual quotient. The development of intellectual quotient gives a score that is the median raw score. The median raw score produced by the quotient is the standard deviation. From historical times, scholars have associated the quotient with aspects like mortality, parental status, morbidity, and biological features. Forecasts on educational achievements, special needs, income, and job performance employ IQ in their measurement. Additionally, scholars also use the quotient when studying the distribution of IQ in the population. According to IQ‘s scale, a person who has an IQ of 10 out of 100 is regarded to have an average intelligence, whereas an individual who has an IQ of 130 is considered as typically smart and exceptional. Currently, a number of people believe in the use of IQ in measuring human intelligence. The individuals believe that the scale provided by IQ is an effective tool of measurement that gives accurate outcomes. Therefore, they are comfortable with the IQ scale and like its application in measuring the intelligence of humans, identification of unique and special talents, and in helping indi
It is worth noting that library needs for people with disabilities ought to be given utmost priority during the process of planning and designing of the facility. In addition, library planners should take into consideration the dynamism and changing needs of users who are disabled bearing in mind that this class of library patrons is diverse. This paper offers a succinct critique of an essay written by student A entitled Library Action Plan for Serving Deaf or Hearing Impaired Patrons. The essay has been compiled as a PowerPoint presentation with a title page followed by the purpose. The author of the essay aims at developing an action plan that can be put in place in order to improve the current library facilities although the particular library is not mentioned. In a summary form, the prevailing state of the library has been highlighted alongside what can be done in order to make it compliant with the needs of patrons who have impaired hearing (Riley, 2009). For instance, the writer of the essay suggests that in terms of facility planning, it is vital for the library to invest in wiring its facilities with audio induction loop. Another important action plan recommended by the writer of the essay is that the management of the library should work towards acquiring relevant sound equipment to be used by these patrons. Finally, the writer suggests that it would be necessary to improve on service delivery at the library such as making use of interpreters to facilitate transfer of information to the deaf or those with impaired hearing. To begin with, it is imperative to mention that the writer has indeed attempted to cover some of the most integral action plans that could be taken in order to improve library facilities for people with impaired hearing or those who are deaf. However, there are a few points worth noting from the essay. First of all, the presentation has failed to offer a holistic solution to people with disabilities in general who frequent libraries. The focus has been laid on audio disability and ignoring the rest. A comprehensive library facility should be established with the needs of all disabled persons in mind (Birch, 1993). Secondly, such a discussion would also require a specific library in focus in terms of the current facilities and what ought to be improved (Strategic Networks Group, 2011). Although the specific action plans given are sound and practical, there is no mention of where these action plans could be implemented (Green & Blair, 2011). In terms of organization, it would be advisable if the individual action plans could be presented in their own slides. The writer has combined the major concern being discussed in the essay with the action plans. Such kind of essay organization tends to disrupt the reader due to lack of smooth flow from one idea to another (Hamby, 2007). Furthermore, the writing mechanics as well as how the essay has been presented may not appeal to the reader. For instance, some slides have been crowded with words while other
The introduction Our visual perception When analyzing the images, I would like to tell a few words about a person’s ability to perceive information. Generally, it should be pointed out that our brain possesses unique abilities – it can recognize various forms and shapes, even when some parts of a certain picture/production, etc. are absent. Thus, when speaking about the first image, one is to keep in mind that our brain “adds” some missing parts; however, it does not mean the brain will reflect the correct image, it just probably tries to renew some familiar images in the mind. The body The ways people’s perceptions can be changed The most important visual elements of the first image seem to be blurred. Thus, the first picture does not reflect sharp shapes, textures, colors, or contours. So, for this reason, one can conclude that the content of the image is difficult to analyze. It is also not so easy to speak about any impressions the product may cause, as flagrant colors are absent. In other words, there are no elements, which can influence visual nerves; so, no vivid emotions can be produced. However, when some additional elements appear, our brain tries to recognize the context of the picture. In other words, it seems that the new image, which contains more elements, expands the scopes of our perception. For instance, the second image contains more elements; thus, our brain tries to remember what context it may reflect. Generally, one’s brain can be lost in guesses; however, the second image can remind the viewers of the landscape. As far as I am well familiar with the literature, I can conclude that the picture is associated with W. H. Auden’s poem – Musée des Beaux-Arts. Other images are more vivid; so, they cause more emotions. I am perfectly sure that the image is closely related to famous mythological production. It probably reflects William Carlos Williams’s tragedy of Icarus. The colors the picture contains are not aggressive; so, the image provokes positive feelings. However, it is also necessary to state that the reflection of the tragedy could be predicted, as some elements the image includes seem to be in abundance. For instance, the number of ships and the silence the image reflects, allow us to suppose that the artist probably reflected the perspective of a tragic event. Of course, at first sight, it seems that the artist depicted the so-called ongoing life and there is no more sense the image can reflect. When analyzing the whole production, one can state that some daily activities represent the key theme of the image. On the other hand, when analyzing some unusual aspects (colors, the arrangement of the objects), it becomes obvious that it may probably be a horrified protest the artist wanted to draw the viewers’ attention to. The conclusion The importance of visual elements The sign of catastrophe the image reflects is difficult to notice. To say for sure what context the picture conveys, one is to be familiar with the art. In my opinion, the only sign of the tragedy is the color of the landscape. The context of the image can be judged from solemn tints of the landscape; however, the shapes and contours of th
Globalization is the process that has a number of positive and negative outcomes. On the one hand, globalization provides people with various opportunities and ideas on how to improve their lives, develop international relations, and follow their dreams. On the other hand, globalization makes people think about the importance of inequality, the understanding of personal abilities in regards to the requirements that are usually similar to all people, and the evaluation of the achievements. Therefore, it is hard to say if globalization a good or bad issue for people. Still, it is evident that it brings some changes to human lives. For example, globalization promotes the development of sweatshops. Though almost all people worldwide agree with the fact that sweatshops are the most awful and terrible places to work at, no certain steps are taken to close them and find appropriate alternatives. Globalization creates new environments for business, and sweatshops turn out to be the opportunities for people to find jobs and earn for living. Still, it is necessary to understand that the conditions under which people have to work at sweatshops are far from being comfortable and safe, and the society should understand that such organizations should be closed at any economic costs to eradicate unethical treatment, violation of human rights, and inabilities to respect each other. The example of the Chinese Foxconn proves the fact that even the most successful corporations that provide society with the necessary technologies and electronics could behave unethically. However, the most terrible thing that the general picture of the company and the overview of the services and products could not demonstrate the inside of the company. People cannot even realize what working conditions are usually offered to employees of huge corporations. The idea that sweatshops help people to find jobs closes their eyes on various ethical and moral aspects. As a result, a number of people prefer to end their lives in order to avoid the outcomes of their work in sweatshops. Many people are eager to accept all working challenges that could influence their physical and mental health in order to have the smallest still real salary. However, there are also situations when salaries are not paid. Therefore, the necessity to provide workers at sweatshops with medical treatment and appropriate psychological support is usually neglected. People forget their main character that is to stay humane. Because of globalization, people are eager to neglect many rules and rights. Sweatshops become the places where people have to work long hours, suffer from poor working conditions, and get low salaries. Besides, the ma
Japan has experienced many disasters that have caused massive loss of property and lives. In 1993, the Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami hit Okushiri Island located to the west of Hokkaido. This disaster was identified as one of the major Tsunamis that have led to destruction of property and lives. Sources revealed that about 200 people were killed by the raging waters, and property worth about 66 billion Japanese Yen was damaged (Shuto, 2006). Fire outbreaks that resulted from destroyed power lines magnified the losses. Landslides were also rampant owing to the devastating effects of the earthquake. In Okushiri town, 29 people were killed by a landslide when a hotel built under a cliff succumbed to the strong forces of the quake (The Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, 2009). The earthquake affected residents both economically and psychologically. The incident left many people traumatized for losing both their property and families. In 2004, another tsunami disaster was experienced on the Indian Ocean frontier. It was reported to be greatest in the land since 1900 (Kelman et al., 2006). In fact, it was reported to be the third largest tsunami in the world. Over 227, 000 people lost lives in 11 countries and about 1.7 million others were left homeless (Kelman et al., 2006). Many children died in the waters and fire outbreaks that resulted from faulty power lines and gas pipes. Statistics also showed that more women than men died. Apart from loss of lives, there was massive damage on coastal ecosystems, coastal forests, mangroves, coral reefs, and rock formations. Marine life was adversely affected and many sea animals died due to strong waves, industrial chemicals, and liquid and solid waste. This disaster had far-reaching economic impacts compared to the Japan’s 1993 tsunami in Hokkaido. Several factors contributed to the impact of tsunami disasters. Concerning the 1993 tsunami disaster in Hokkaido Japan, the geographical location of the Onkushiri town was a major factor that multiplied the damages (Shuto, 2006). This area was hit by a tsunami whose tides reached magnitudes of 11 meters in height. As anticipated, the tide washed away buildings and caused massive destruction of coastal structures. Massive destruction of coastal buildings was also attributed to an earthquake that was experienced on the shores of the sea. In addition, fire outbreaks also contributed to the devastating effects of the tsunami (Shuto, 2006). Just as was the case with the 1993 tsunami in Hokkaido, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami had far-reaching
Writing a scholarly research paper follows certain guidelines and format starting with a succinct abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. However, some articles could have altered versions in their organization based on the nature of the study being reported. This paper is a critique of the article “The Experience of Implementing Evidence-Based Practice Change: A Qualitative Analysis” by Irwin et al. (2013). The title of the article is a good one as it suggests the phenomena being studied (experience of implementing EBP change), even though it does not identify the group or community under study. However, the abstract does not concisely summarize the main features of the report, as it lacks the problem statement, methods, results, and conclusion. The abstract only mentions the purpose of the study. In the introduction, the problem statement is stated unambiguously, it is easy to identify. Given that the study sought to describe the experience of implementing an EBP change by analyzing verbatim narratives, a qualitative approach was appropriate. However, the researchers did not state the research questions, but their absence is justifiable given the nature of the study. Similarly, the authors did not give an elaborate literature review, even though they highlighted some information linked to the existing knowledge related to the topic in the introduction. Conceptual or theoretical underpinnings were not defined and likewise, but the participants’ identities were not divulged, which safeguards their rights. The nature of the study did not warrant the review of an IRB or ethics review board. In the research design, the participants’ verbatim on their experiences when implementing EBP were collected and analyzed to identify recurring themes, and this design befits this form of a study. The researchers adequately identified the population being studied (nurses) placed in 19 teams, thus the sample was described in sufficient detail. The methods used in data gathering were appropriate with the right questions being asked and a sufficient amount of data gathered. The procedures of data collection and recording were adequately described. The researchers used effective strategies to improve the trustworthiness and integrity of the study to make the results auditable and confirmable. Data collection and analysis were sufficiently described and the findings were effectively summarized. The themes identified in the study logically connected and the authors interpreted and discussed the findings within the context of prior studies. The reasonable and complet
