Clinical Question
What would be the effect of competitive food and beverage (CF&B) policies on student weight outcomes in comparison to the students who have not followed the CF&B policies and those who have followed some other policy according to which some of the competitive foods are available to students?

How the clinical question indicates the type of study that will be done (quasi-experimental vs. experimental)?

This clinical question is showing the comparison of two groups. One comparison is that of the students following CF&B policies with the students who have not followed these policies. Second comparison is that of the students following CF&B policies with the students who have following some ...

Introduction

The performance on a given task is affected by various factors. Distraction is one of the factors that has been hypothesized to affect task completion. Goodell, Cao and Schwaitzberg (2006) reported that cognitive distractions resulted in an increase in the time required to complete tasks by laparoscopic surgeons. Understanding the effect that distractions have on task performance is important various fields. In the academic field, the knowledge can be used to explain the performance of students during tests. It can help show what proportion of their performance is attributed to attention deficits resulting from distractions.

Restatement of initial research questions

Reading is a crucial skill in life. Therefore, it is one of the core skills that learners must acquire. Duggan (2009) states that reading comprehension is affected by many internal and external factors and visual processing. Reading comprehension is defined as the degree of understanding a text (Jager-Adams, 1994). It does not only include the amount of reading time, but also the ability to trigger information from the text. According to Ouellette (2006), the end goal of reading is comprehension. Therefore, reading time does not provide a full picture of reading comprehension because one can quickly skim the text ...

Background of the Research

The research paper is fundamentally about the comparison of Compassion Fatigue and PTSD patients. The research main objective it to go along with or reject this hypothesis: People suffering from Compassion fatigue will experience similar physiological changes as those suffering from PTSD. By working towards this hypothesis, the research can be able to compare and contrast CF to PTSD and recognize how the two are related. In order to verify and distinguish the relation between these two phenomena, it is essential to know what the research will be looking for. First, it is essential to have the invariable values ( ...

Abstract

The ecological settings in an ecosystem change from time to time. The changes in the ecological settings are brought about by a plethora of factors. Through evolution, the organisms that live in the ecosystem also change to adapt to the aforementioned ecological changes. The adaptation of the organisms to the ecological changes yields variations because different organisms and even organisms of the same species are exposed to the elements to different levels. Man has a significant role to play in the ecological changes. Through his economic activities, the effect on ecosystems has been both positive and negative. Urbanization as ...

Introduction

Young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 need at least seven hours of sleep each night to maintain their cognitive, emotional, and physical functions, but college students tend to lack quality sleep. A sample of 1,160 college students reported sleeping on average 5.85 ± 1.85 hours per night, and 35% of them considered their sleep bad or very bad (Elagra et al., 2016). Lack of sleep has been associated with higher risk of negative moods, unintentional injuries, risk-taking behaviors, and poor academic performance (National Adolescent and Young Adult Health Information Center, 2014). Although various negative effects of ...

Introduction

Internalization is the process, as it relates to international strategic management, which requires transaction to occur within the confines of the corporate assets, rather than externalizing and interacting more heavily with the open market. This form of business interaction has certain advantages, abut can also pose serious disadvantages as the business works to move into new global markets.
The following paper will work to determine to what extent internalization creates an atmosphere of global risks for companies in the middle of globalization. Currently, there is a shortage of research as it relates to the impact of internalization on business ...

Abstract

In this paper I will describe a proposed experimental design on the topic of character building in children under five. Research has shown that children are affected by their experiences early in life. However, much of the research available does not deal with children under the age of five. The experiment proposed in this paper will endeavor to position itself in this research gap. The specific research question of this investigation is: how do children learn values such as care, sharing, and empathy through imitation of parents? My three main research objects are to: 1) examine the available research; ...

Introduction

Genome imprinting is the latest technique that has genetically modified the face of infertility; it is an epigenetic phenomenon through which the parental origin of a gene is determined based on its expression. 1 There are a vast number of genes in mammals that are marked with their parental origin, and the result of this phenomenon is a single parental allele. These marked genes are known as “imprinted.” They rely on the epigenetic machinery determining their parental identity and maintaining their origin-specific gene expression. There are 100 imprinted genes estimated in human and 200 ...

Methods

Quantitative methodology will be used in this work, - for this is one of the best ways to conduct such social experiments. Quantitative studies involve the conducting of various surveys based on the use of structured closed-ended questions that are answered by a large number of respondents.

Psychology: Exploring the Relations of Micro Expression to Professional Performance

According to the studies conducted by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, in communication process, around 93% of human communication takes place through non-verbal mode. He divided the communication process into three parts; words (7%), tone of the voice (38%), and body language 55% (Mehrabian, 1981). Among non-verbal modes of communication the commonly used mode is the facial expressions. The face of the person expresses his/her emotions. Yet, some part of emotions is sometimes not clear to everyone. We all are not experts in identifying each and every expression of the ...
