According to the research paper provided, apply the same or similar method (including all the statistical tests and major model used – GHE) on US stock markets to answer the question how financial crises affect US stock market efficiency from 1981 to 2015. Some important notes are as followings:
1. Some data can be possibly found on websites related to Carmen M. Reinhart, Barro, and Kenneth S. Rogoff as they have researched on crises.
2. The statistical tests and model used in the paper provided are supposed to be done through either Eviews or Matlab.
3. There are three major crises during 1981 to 2015, but it\’s preferred to apply the method provided in the paper on 2008 crisis of US financial market first to try out the credibility.
4. If the author strongly feels the method used to answer the question or the topic itself is hard to achieve the premium quality goal, please let me know.
5. These notes may not be explicit enough and please let me know if having any further concern.

Using the SPSS software, open the high school longitudinal study dataset found in this week\’s learning resourses and then choose two variables that interest you.
Write a 1 page summery and include the following :
1. A description of what the each of the variables measure.
2. A description of the unit of analysis
3.A description and explanation of levels of measurement for each variable(i.e. normal, ordinal, interval, ratio)
4. Explain how you might conceive these variables to be used to answer a social change question. What might be the implication for social change.
Support your summary using the appropriate scholarly citations and references

1-Must be 250 words or more
2-Logical interpretation of subject and adherence to topic
3-Original work, meaningful, innovative and or creative

Topic \”Motivational Interviewing Help to Increase the Self Efficacy of Hong Kong Gamblers in Adult\”

I have attached the research proposal and ideal structure for the writer to follow.

The overall wording is around 8000-10000 words.
APA format which including over 20 reference sources.

The research finding should be showing by chart or scale, and the data need to be analysed by SPSS and indicated in the paper. I will attach more instruction in the mail.

This research paper is multiple case study in counselling using the technique of Motivational Interviewing on 3 individual gambling problem clients whose aged within 20-30 years old and having problem in gambling before, the following exam tools used will be in Pre-test/ Mid-term/ Post-test (Total 6 sessions).

1. South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) was developed by Henry Lesieur, Ph.D., and Sheila Blume;
2. Gambling Disorder under DSM5 Criteria to test the level of gambling problem in 3 clients.

As indicating in the topic, I will test their self efficacy by using the following tools in Pre-test/ Mid-term/ Post-test before the client do the SOGS and DSM5 test.

1. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) by Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995

So the tools and event will happen and be applied in the following sequence:

Characteristic:
Client A (Higher self motivation to change, willing to attend the counselling session) /
Client B (Mild motivation to change, under estimate the gambling impact) /
Client C (Lack of motivation to change, low self awareness).

All client are following the same sequence of tools applied and found as the result below (the result could be based on writer\’s judgment under their professional knowledge in motivational interviewing, and I would appreciate if the writer could add his own professional view about the limitation of motivational interviewing.)

Pre-test (Before session 1) (All three shown low self efficacy and mild to high score in gambling problem in SOGS and DSM5)
GSES-SOGS-DSM5

Mid-term (Before session 4) (All three shown improvement in self efficacy, A is better than B & C, show lower score in gambling problem)
GSES-SOGS-DSM5

Pre-test (After session 6) (All three shown fair level of self efficacy, A is high and B & C is mild, show no issue in gambling for A and B, but C is still scoring little of gambling problem mainly on relapse problem.)
GSES-SOGS-DSM5

write a one page essay describing the issue , presenting possible solutions or courses of action and your conclusion. Spelling grammar, punctation are all good things.

Craig Thorne works in a public accounting firm and hopes to eventually be a partner. The management of Allnet Company invites Thorne to prepare a bid to audit financial statements. In discussing the audit fee. Allnet\’s management suggests a fee range in which the amount depends on the reported profit of Allnet. The higher its the profit,the higher will be the audit fee paid to Thorne\’s firm.
Required
1. Identify the parties potentially affected by this audit and the fee plan proposed.
2. What are the ethical factors in this situation? Explain.
3.would you recommend that Thorne accept this audit fee arrangement? Why or why not?
4. Describe some ethical considerations guiding your recommendation.

Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Project

Exponential and logarithmic functions and equations have myriad applications in the social and physical sciences. This individual project gives you the opportunity to investigate the mathematics and implications of one such application in a much deeper way than we have time in class.

Task:
Work as individuals or groups of two

Write a math paper to present, about an application of exponential or logarithmic functions of your choice from the list given below.

Resources: be sure to keep citation information for materials

Requirements:

Your own essential question regarding the application

Background information about the context

Clear explanation of how and why exponential / logarithmic functions are used in the application

Solutions to at least two example problems

Analysis of the implications of the mathematics work in the context being explored

Written exploration of the essential question reflecting independent, critical thinking

Analysis of multiple perspectives, disciplines, points of view

Additional questions for the audience to consider

Possible topics:
Exponential Growth and Decay
Compound interest estate taxes, etc.
Interest on loans IMF, World Bank & international debt relief
Human population growth impact of health care, immigration, war, etc.
Animal population growth rabbits in Australia, other non-native populations, etc.
Disease and epidemics AIDS, sexually-transmitted diseases, etc.
Bacterial growth food borne pathogens, etc.
Radioactive decay radioactive waste, Hanford, Chernobyl, etc.
Logarithmic Scales
Decibels noise pollution, hearing loss, etc.
pH acid rain, pollution, etc.
Richter scale earthquakes
Magnitude of stars
Relative pitch musical notes
Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale asteroids, etc.
Krumbein scale particle size in geology
Absorbance of light spectroscopy

Prompt: Compare and contrast the ghetto with the gated community/suburbs. Discuss how these spatial institutions make race (both within and outside of their boundaries), the role each plays in racial domination, and the role played by the state in regard to each type of bounded settlement.

You will be graded on clarity, thoroughness, insightfulness, and how well you incorporate the course material, including your accurate use of appropriate concepts/theories. Note that the prompts do not refer to specific readings, it is your task to think creatively and critically about the reading material and incorporate them appropriately. Make sure to answer the question as fully as you can while keeping responses focused on the prompt.

Title: Detail and Dynamic Complexity

It is not uncommon in the business world for a seemingly successful company to suddenly begin to falter in sales for no apparent reason. In this weeks resource \”When Growth Stalls,\” the authors purport that a majority of stall factors stem from poor strategy or organizational design and are controllable by management. By using a systems approach, the possible root causes of the declines are more easily identifiable. The authors also offer advice on avoiding root causes of growth stalls. After reviewing this resource as well as the other resources for this week, respond to the following:

Compare and contrast detail complexity with dynamic complexity.

How could systems thinking help to prevent stall points in organizations?

Do you think stall points are examples of detail complexity or dynamic complexity?
