I chose the Maldives because they have an impressive record of growth, while at the same time rapidly
Maths Gridwork
Introduction In this investigation, I have been asked to investigate on a number grid that is 10 wide and 10 descending. We have been asked to test the equation (Top left x Bottom right) - (Top right x Bottom left) on grids varying in size, starting at 2x2, then on to 3x3 and so on. I will describe the constraints of the equation and explain the algebraic rule that determines the end outcome of the grid. I will then relate my new formula and describe how it can be related with rectangles. I will then find a formula that will suit a Master grid. A diagram of the number grid is shown below: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 2*2 squares Equation: (TL*BR)-(TR*BL) Example 1 22 23 32 33 (22*33)- (23*32) = -10 Example 2 37 38 47 48 (37*48)- (38*47) = -10 Example 3 57 58 67 68 (57*68)- (58*67) = -10 Example 4 2 2 1 (1*12)- (2*11) = -10 I predict that with all 2*2 grid squares the equation will always produce an answer of -10 Example5 56 57 66 67 (56*67)- (57*66) = -10 I will now use algebra to prove my theory.
Anthropometric Data
Coursework portfolio-Investigation 2 Using and applying statistics Anthropometric Data During this coursework I will be investigating the relationship between two of the data types. The main point of this coursework is focusing on the linear regression. Data was taken from Blackboard which contains anthropometric data from a large sample of children and young adults. This date result was taken in USA by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). From this information given I can observe that there may be some errors due to data input in the result taken, it may be that the data was collected in 1977 and during these times some techniques used in collect may be inefficient, some value may be incorrect due that it is a secondary data. Has there will be some limitation in using the data again. From the data obtained I have decided to choose foot breadth and foot length has I feel that this information will be useful to design children soaks which could be sold in retail outlets. The chosen age range from 2-2 1/2 years of age. This will be targeted at female in their gender group.

Can CBT make a meaningful contribution in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe personality disorders? Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for psychosis focuses on altering the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours
Can CBT make a meaningful contribution in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe personality disorders? Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for psychosis focuses on altering the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours of patients by teaching them skills to challenge and modify beliefs about delusions and hallucinations, to engage in experimental reality testing, and to develop better coping strategies for the management of hallucinations. The goals of these interventions are to decrease the conviction of delusional beliefs, and hence their severity, and to promote more effective coping and reductions in distress. This essay will attempt to assess the contribution of CBT to each of the disorders in turn by discussing reviews on efficacy, long term effects, compliance and cost, and then compare the outcome of CBT with alternative form of drug and therapy treatments. Schizophrenia Schizophrenia usually involves a dramatic disturbance in thoughts and feelings and results in behaviour that may seem odd to other people. Some people hear voices, others see things which are not there, or feel they are being persecuted. Some people only experience one episode of psychosis and some recover from schizophrenia. Over the past ten years the use of CBT for treating schizophrenia has been extensively studied. Much informative research has been conducted using the
CAPM Model
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used in finance to determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return (and thus the price if expected cash flows can be estimated) of an asset, if that asset is to be added to an already well-diversified portfolio, given that asset's non-diversifiable risk. The CAPM formula takes into account the asset's sensitivity to non-diversifiable risk (also known as systematic risk or market risk), often represented by the quantity beta (ß) in the financial industry, as well as the expected return of the market and the expected return of a theoretical risk-free asset The Formula The CAPM is a model for pricing an individual security (asset) or a portfolio. For individual security perspective, we made use of the security market line (SML) and its relation to expected return and systematic risk (beta) to show how the market must price individual securities in relation to their security risk class. The SML enables us to calculate the reward-to-risk ratio for any security in relation to that of the overall market. Therefore, when the expected rate of return for any security is deflated by its beta coefficient, the reward-to-risk ratio for any individual security in the market is equal to the market reward-to-risk ratio, thus: Individual security' / beta = Market's securities
Investigation to see the relationship between actual and theoretical energy released when burning different alcohols.
Investigation to see the relationship between actual and theoretical energy released when burning different alcohols Aim: Using the five alcohols in the Homologous series we will carry out a scientific experiment into the amount of energy released when alcohols are burned. Planning Bond breaking theory: As alcohols are burned in oxygen the alcohol molecules break and take energy to do this. When an alcohol's bonds are broken it takes energy to break them as they are strong ionic structures. When new bonds are made, such as Carbon Dioxide and water in this case, energy is released as it does not take as much energy to make new bonds as it does to break the old ones. The energy can be calculated in the formula Energy= products-reactants If the number is negative then it is an exothermic reaction as energy has been given off as heat as it takes less energy to make the new bonds as there are fewer bonds between the new structures. The energy not used is lost. The fewer bonds that are made in theory should mean more energy is given off. I know that water and carbon dioxide are made when an alcohol is burnt, so if I take the equation for oxidising Methanol and balance the equation, I can see the amount of energy to break the bonds in the reactants, and the amount of energy to make the bonds in the products and compare. I cans see that less energy is needed for the products
Placement Case Study. I will examine my role in the identification, assessment and management of risk to K. and N. and will consider and critically evaluate theoretical perspectives in relation to risk along with current legislation and policy.
PLACEMENT - CASE STUDY Vignette - Family A K. is a male, of dual heritage (White / African Caribbean), aged 14 years and has a younger sister, N., who is 9 years old. N. is also of dual heritage (White / Asian). Both K. and N. live with their mother, D., in a small town close to a busy city centre. D. had been in a relationship with R. for approximately two years prior to the involvement of Children's Services. During this time there had been a number of domestic abuse incidents, some of an extremely serious nature, which had been witnessed by both K. and N. Following the most recent incident, an initial assessment was carried out and this resulted in a decision to proceed to Initial Child Protection Case Conference (ICPCC). Subsequently the mother separated from R. and moved out of the area with the children. A few months later, however, D. and the children moved back into the area and Children's Services were alerted by K.'s school as to the family's whereabouts. The case was re-opened with a decision to complete core assessments on the children initially, rather than to proceed straight to ICPCC, given that the mother had separated from R. At this point the case was allocated to myself and I began the completion of core assessments on K. and N. Here I will examine my role in the identification, assessment and management of risk to K.

Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to be able to understand the role purpose and responsibilities of the uniformed services. For this, I need to choose two different services that have various similarities and differences. For this assignment I will use the Police Force and the British Army for my two examples. This is because I am interested in joining the Police Force and both services and the two have very different purposes. Task A • Research two uniformed services of your choice, and describe why those services exist, and what they do including an example of recent work. The police service exists as forty-three separate forces, each run and maintained by the government. The government supplies the forces with a budget, which varies in amount, depending on the circumstances in which it is needed for, e.g. size of patrolled area, level of crime, etc. Each force has its own Chief Constable. The Chief Constable is the highest ranking officer within each force and works alongside the Police Authority and Home Office. The Home Office is a department of the British Government, which manage the emergency services and insure the safety of England and Wales. The Home Secretary is the MP in charge of the Home Office. The Police Authority is a localised organisation that deals specifically with Police Force. It is made up of counsellors and
Analyse three key strengths and three key weaknesses of the Conservative general election campaign of 2010
Executive summary The aim of this report shall be to analyse three key strengths and three key weaknesses of the Conservative general election campaign of 2010. Integrated into this analysis will be two suggested improvements that might be made in order to maximise the party’s chances of electoral success in the next general election. In terms of strengths, this report highlights ‘the local campaign’, ‘obtaining the support of the print press’, and ‘the representation of David Cameron’ as the three areas of the party’s general election campaign that were particularly successful. The report also suggests key improvements which could be applied to ‘the local campaign’ in order to make it even more effective in the next general election. In terms of weaknesses, this report highlights ‘misjudged policies’, ‘the failure to secure votes from both Scotland and ethnic minorities’ and ‘agreeing to televised debates’ as three areas of the party’s general election campaign that were particularly unsuccessful. The report also suggests key improvements which could be applied to ‘the failure to secure votes from both Scotland and ethnic minorities’ in order to minimalize this weakness in the next general election. Strengths . The local campaign One of the areas of the 2010 general election campaign where the party did significantly better than in
SELECTED PROBLEMS OF MODERN PHYSICS I. THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
SELECTED PROBLEMS OF MODERN PHYSICS I. THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT . How to demonstrate experimentally that photoelectrons are emitted from an illuminated metallic surface? Ultraviolet light cause emission of free negative charges (photoelectrons) from metal surfaces. We can show this phenomena in a simple experiment. A freshly polished plate of zinc connected with an electroscope is charged negatively. When the plate is illuminated by visible light only, nothing happens (the charge on its surface is constant). But when we illuminate the plate using ultraviolet light, a discharge is observed --> the leafs of the electroscope slowly fall. This is a result of electron emission from the zinc plate. What is important, we see that in case of zinc, the photoelectric effect takes place only when we replace the visible light with ultraviolet, which has a higher light-wave frequency. 2. Explain how the magnitude of photocurrent depends on light intensity. The magnitude of this photocurrent increases in proportion to light intensity.(fig.5.2) But increasing the intensity of light increases the number of photoelectrons, NOT their velocity (so increasing magnitude means growing number of photoelectrons) 3. Explain the dependence between photocurrent and the potential difference existing between a cathode and an anode. When the positive potential difference increases, the
