Multiple Regression Analysis Name Institution Why did the authors use multiple regression? The author sought to investigate whether the teacher’s knowledge indices are significant predictors of secondary school student’s academic achievement. Thus the key aspects that were being assessed included teacher’s depth of subject content and pedagogical knowledge. The application of the multiple regression, therefore, investigated student performance based on the two independent variables. Multiple regression analysis is conducted when there are two or more independent variables with one dependent variable (Darlington & Hayes, 2016). Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not? The use of regression analysis is the most appropriate based on the research issue that was being investigated. Understanding the use of regression analysis requires an understanding of the underlying assumptions which must be thoroughly evaluated to attain the needed outcomes. In conducting a regression analysis, there must be independent and dependent variables that are clearly defined (Schroeder et al., 2016). The dependent variable must be a continuous variable that…
Gender is one of the most controversial topics in society that has earned significant attention over the centuries. The question of gender equality and the position of women in the community has seen the rise of various feminist who advocates for the empowerment of the female gender within the society. Gender issues can get attributed to the societal construction and perception of the female gender through the designation of gender roles that portray women as the weaker and inferior gender. In society, women are usually given lighter roles, which are mostly household chores, as they are believed to be the caregivers of the homes. The male gender is associated with more demanding tasks that require more physical energy due to their masculine appearance that depicts the belief that they are a stronger species than the women. Various works of literature have been used to advocate for women’s rights in society and change the perception if the community about women portraying women as being equally capable as men. Women have, over the years, been able that they are equally capable of…
Mariam Beerman: Collages 1965-2008 After a virtual tour of the Queens-borough Community College City University of New York art gallery (QCC), I choose to write about Mariam Beerman collages that are in the PowerPoint document attached. The QCC art gallery is an essential and educational and cultural resource. I love the artwork of Mariam Beerman because, in most of her paintings, she works to present brutality and political occurrences of our lifetime in a bid to point out the world’s injustice and bring them to an end (Beerman, 2020). What is more, the artist uses beauty and vigor, which inspires various painters all over the globe. In the long run, the combination of passion, emotional struggle, and creativity makes the works of Miriam a masterpiece. In all the artworks of Miriam, there are living creatures, such as human beings or animals. And this is one factor that made me love the paintings since they bring out an inner perception to present the future and the past effectively. From one of the paintings, Miriam paints one of the ten plagues stories…
“The house of Bernarda Alba” play. “The house of Bernarda Alba” is a play developed by Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca exploring the lives of five daughters who are under the care of their oppressive mother. Throughout the play, the themes of freedom and repression keep on recurring conflicting with each other. The main characters Lorca’s play are females; Bernarda and her five daughters. The daughters are, “Angustias (39 years old), Magdalena (30), Amelia (27), Martirio, (24), and Adela (20).” Bernarda forces her daughters to abide by her rules, and they have fewer choices to make on matters about their lives. Bernarda interferes with her children’s privacy and freedom; they are forced to play as per their mother’s rules. The daughters are even denied fundamental freedoms, like making their relationship decisions. I relate to the play because I feel that it explores my reality. My mother has a significant control on my relationships and freedom. To some extent, I think that she is over-controlling me, and it is undesirable. This paper uses K. Hope, “Rhetorical Modes,” to analyze two conflicting…

Conflict of interest Conflict of Interest refers to a situation whereby there is an individual who has competing loyalties or interests to more than one organization or person because of the responsibilities and duties they have. It occurs when there is a compromise of objectivity or judgement (Trevino and Nelson, 2010). There are four dimensions of conflict of interest, and they include: Overt bribes and kickbacks-Overt bribes refer to the receiving or giving of anything valuable to influence the behaviour, actions and attitudes of another person in a corrupt manner. Kickback is a form of bribe incrementally paid by the contractor in the process of being paid. Anything considered being kickback or bribe is a conflict of interest regardless of whether it is in the form of the valuable thing or money offered for the exchange of specific services, products or even influence (Trevino and Nelson, 2010). Subtle bribes-Bribes can also include entertainment and gifts. Some organizations have prohibited gifts even those of nominal value, for example, pens and notepads.
