According to Lucas, the capital flow is determined by the marginal product of capital. The first factor he proposed for the low capital outflow was the sovereign risk assumption.

Abstract
Going to college is an important landmark in the life of a student. College life provides a sudden experience of freedom that was so far unavailable to students. With the newfound freedom, students aggressively pursue an active social life. Coupled with social activity lies academic pressure. Requirements of academics force students to stay awake at night to prepare for class. A combination of social activity and academic pressure invariably takes a toll on the sleep quality and quantity of students. They, therefore, become inevitably sleepy in class. A number of researchers have explored the aspects of sleepiness, sleep quality and ...

Recent studies have established that people do not mind their eating habits. They do not know the dangers either associated with poor eating habits, or are just ignorant to the fact that healthy eating is paramount to healthy societies. However, poor eating habits should not be confused for malnutrition (Krahn and Lengyel, et al. 2011). The major problem associated with poor eating habits is obesity, which exposes people to diseases such as hypertension, coronary artery diseases and diabetes. These are very threatening diseases that have very simple origin-poor eating habits-but also have simple solutions - proper dietary measures.

A Modest Proposal is a satirical work by Jonathan Swift aimed at skewering English reactions to the then-contemporary issues of poverty and famine in Ireland.

It was written in the early 18th century when Ireland was effectively an English colony and had been ruled as such for centuries. Colonialism ...

Oral health presents a significant public health problem that affects every group in the human population. Typically, children with poor oral health tend to show an undesirable oral health outcome throughout their childhood and adulthood because people are constantly susceptible to the development of dental caries during their lifetimes (Kawashita, Kitamura, & Saito, 2011). Past investigations have reported that oral health is linked to numerous health issues.

Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003) and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games (2008) bear striking resemblances to each other. Both novels are set in an apocalyptic dystopian future; both novels use modern advances in the media as a central part of their plot; and both could be argued, in a way, to address the issues of male/female relationships. They are linked too by critical confusion over their genre. Are they both science fiction novels? Are they fantasies? Are they informed predictions of the fate of humanity? Atwood has always been adamant that her earlier novel The Handmaid’s Tale was ...

This proposal presents a plan for the study of how inter-ethnic conflicts develop in newly decolonized countries around the world. The preliminary literature review shows that these states have volatile constitutions and the poor or non-existent separation of powers causes the country to marginalize its minority ethnic groups. This leads to failed policies on integration and the homogeneity of the military. The poor and unresponsive intervention of the Executive arm of government in a bad situation causes minorities to pick up arms and seek their right.
This paper proposes that the findings of the preliminary literature review be tested on ...

In developmental psychology, there has always been a question, “how do new skills come to infants and where do they come from?” Some believe that new skills develop from prior accomplishments; others feel as one skill disappears, the new one quickly appears; some others believe that the skills are based on physical similarity - where old and new skills are similar in form. However, most widely believed theory is the shared psychological function where the old and the new skills rely on the same underlying psychological mechanisms with an objective to achieve the same goals.
