nature, one must be able to not only understand, but also determine the relationship between various variables. In essence, the relation between two variables could be positive, negative, or minimal. Correlation, in basic terms, seeks to gauge the nature of association between two variables (Sullivan, 2007). The relevance of correlation when inferring the correct results from available data cannot, therefore, be overstated. In basic terms, positive correlation (or direct correlation) exists in instances where an increase in variable A leads to an increase in variable B. Positive correlation can also be said to be present or evident in instances where a decrease in variable A also leads to a decrease… Continue Reading...

Relation between setting and story
The story and setting are closely linked together in Araby. The busy street, the open door of Mangan's house, the alleyway, the way to school, the room where the priest died are all parts of the locations that shape up the consciousness and the life of the narrator. Before going to the bazar, the thoughts of the boy are more exotic because of the mysterious location which increases his unfulfilled love for Mangan's sister. His holy and biblical description of the girl and the setting… Continue Reading...
taking into consideration that police departments are the enforcement arm of government, the correlation between the police department and the administering executive branch of government have to sustain poise of balance of political accountability and operational autonomy. For this reason, police reform has laid emphasis on eradicating and or at least curtailing the impact that politicians have over police organizations. Nonetheless, the disjointed or devolved model of policing in the United States of America lays emphasis on the local qualms and local control of the police.

While literature on the relationship between firearm legislation and its impact on firearm-related violence exists, its quantity and quality is questionable. As Duquet and Van Alstein (2015) have shown, "studies investigating the correlations between gun ownership and violent deaths in a purely European context seem to be lacking" (p. 41). While these researchers, after performing their own study of European data, concluded that there is a strong correlation between gun ownership and firearm-related deaths in Europe, "additional variables for possible complicating factors such as unemployment rates, alcohol consumption or criminality rates" were not included in their analysis (Duquet, Van Alstein, 2015, p. 41). Thus their study, which is one of the foremost studies on the matter of firearms, firearm-related violence, and firearm legislation in Europe, indicates that there remains a significant gap in the literature regarding the relation of firearm legislation (which has a direct bearing on firearm ownership) to firearm-related violence and the question of whether… Continue Reading...
emerging country) (83). That hypothesis proved inaccurate. The authors expected there would be no correlation between the diversification and performance in Turkey; it is an "emerging" country (many privatization policies are in place). But the hypothesis was rejected for Italy and Holland, because of the recent "worldwide economic crisis" -- which impacted developed countries (Akpinar, 86). The data used was reliable; this is valid research because it examined diversification vs. production; and a limitation of the study was that it only involved 3 countries; and other variables could be considered (national income, gross national product and "crisis conditions" (Akpinar, 86).

and 'E' are the 'cause' and 'effect' 'events' or 'objects'. They signify the causal relation between E. and C. For instance, freezing temperatures convert water to ice is a good example of the 'causal principle'. Hume, according to his empiricism, holds that ideas can be analyzed into their basic components, showcasing the simple impression that every part of each simple idea emulates. E and C. are connected and when C. happens, E must follow; if E. occurs, it means C. had already occurred. Only a necessary connection between C. and E. follows the causal principle. This kind of reasoning is known as causal inference.… Continue Reading...

relation between such agency and Master's wealth. In her rumination, Ah Nee measures how "capable" or worthy Master's romantic interest by how much money he spends on her. Although the amount is not necessarily quantified in this quotation, Ah Nee is suitably impressed that her master would spend any of his money on a woman. Another critical facet of the diction in this passage is the fact that Ah Nee thinks of this other woman as a "girl". Such word choice has connotations of subservience, which are aligned with the… Continue Reading...
to perceive the problem from multiple levels and methods of analysis. Environmental settings have manifold dimensions which have an impact on the interrelation between the person and the environment. Environmental settings may be examined from several standpoints which are germane to health and welfare. Fitting instances of such multiple dimensions comprise of social cohesion, emotional welfare, development progress and physical health status (Stokols, 1988). Social ecology theory lays emphasis on the significance of pinpointing different physical and social conditions within settings that can impact occupants (Stokols, 1988). The practice is characteristically classified into three interrelated levels, which include the micro level, the meso level and the macro level. To begin with, at… Continue Reading...
underlying assumption of examining obesity as a health issue is that there is a correlation between obesity and specific health outcomes. Body shape – where fat deposits on the body – has some correlation with health outcomes, and BMI does not differentiate in terms of overall body shape in its calculation. This reduces the effectiveness of BMI as a measure of obesity-related health outcomes (Janiszewski, 2012).
Janiszewski (2012) also argues that BMI does not always change in relation to lifestyle changes. A person can improve their health without changing their BMI. The critique is framed as though it invalidates BMI, but that\\'s a poor… Continue Reading...

The strength of this argument is rooted the correlation between worker protections and rights that Europe has, and the continent's persistently higher unemployment rates, especially when juxtaposed against the United States. There is intuitive logic, knowing that wages are a part of marginal cost of production, that higher such costs are going to result in higher prices, and that this reduces global competitiveness. However, there is weakness, in that the numbers are sort of viewed selectively in this argument. Germany and Japan have high levels of worker protections, but they have used innovation to drive their economies. Those… Continue Reading...
teenagers aged 14-18, the research paper could discover a negative correlation between screen time and sleep time.
