What is causing the juvenile rate in Chicago to rise from the past 10 years? Can the four theories(Strain, Social Learning, Control, and Labeling) studied in this course be applied when addressing this question?
https://www.nyu.edu/tisch/preservation/program/student_work/2016fall/16f_2920_Trempe_a2.pdf–Research ProjectHistorical Paper and Presentation: In this project, each student will choose one film, video or audio format orone film, video or audio process to research. You must properly cite reference sources. Here is a link to the Chicago / Turabian
style notation and footnotes organization: https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/DocChicago.html.You must create an annotated* bibliography and a detailed description/history that must include:
time period for the format / process
physical/chemical makeup and properties; file structure, platform requirements, compression, codec, etc.
o (oxide used, track configuration, physical dimensions, housing, sprocket size and configuration,
varieties of emulsion composition and characteristics, etc., as appropriate to the format/media)
o If you are researching a process, provide a detailed description of how the process worked.
associated playback devices or equipment
competing formats / processes
main user groups and use environments
well known content associated with the format / process
formats/processes that preceded and followed
what, if any, technological capabilities lead to the demise of the format / process in the market?
known preservation issues/concerns
The annotated bibliography should cover the whole format / process, but the paper, beyond the elements above, can focus
on one aspect or variation of the format or process.Here is the feedback:There is not much information in your outline so far. Looking at the topics you intend to cover, I think you need to provide
more on the technological side. You mention iPods, but was there anything about a file downloaded from LimeWire that required use of an iPod? You probably should broaden that to mp3 players, not one brand. You should define the file itself.
Most important would be an explanation of what made LimeWire different from previous peer to peer systems. It actually
lasted longer before copyright problems brought it down than some of its contemporaries and predecessors. Why? Was its user base different? Why have you chosen LimeWire rather than any other peer to peer system? Is there an archiving aspect to
this project? The bibliography needs a lot of work.
When finished, submit your country profile. Your final submission should be a polished version containing all of the critical elements in the Final Project One Guidelines and Rubric document. For your conclusion and recommendation section, make sure you include a recommendation for addressing each issue you identified and explain how it would contribute to resolving the issue.
2. Open the data set that you corrected in Activity #1 for DownloadFestival.sav. You will use the following variables: Day1, Day2, and Day3 (hygiene variable for all three days). Create a simple histogram for each variable. Choose to display the normal curve (under Element Properties) and title your charts. Copy these plots into your Word document.
3. Now create probability-probability (p-p) plots for each variable. This output will give you additional information. Read over the Case Processing Summary. Notice that there is missing data for Days 2 and Day 3. Copy only the Normal p-p Plots into your Word document (you do not need to copy the beginning output nor the Detrended Normal p-p Plots).
4. Examining the histograms and p-p plots, describe the dataset with particular attention toward the assumption of normality. For each day, do you think the responses are reasonably normally distributed? (Just give your impression of the data.) Why or why not?
5. Using the same dataset and the Frequency command, calculate the standard descriptive measures (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance and range) as well as kurtosis and skew for all three hygiene variables. Paste your output into your Word document (you do not need to paste the Frequency Table). What does the output tell you? You will need to comment on: sample size, measures of central tendency and dispersion and well as kurtosis and skewness. You will need to either calculate z scores for skewness and kurtosis or use those given in the book to provide a complete answer. Bottom line: is the assumption of normality met for these three variables? Does this match your visual observations from question #1?
6. Using the dataset SPSSExam.sav and the Frequency command, calculate: the standard descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance and range) plus skew and kurtosis, and histograms with the normal curve on the following variables: Computer, Exam, Lecture, and Numeracy for the entire dataset. Complete the same analysis using University as a grouping variable. Paste your output into your Word document (you do not need to paste the Frequency Table). What do the results tell you with regard to whether the data is normally distributed?
7. Using the dataset SPSSExam.sav, determine whether the scores on computer literacy and percentage of lectures attended (with University as a grouping variable) meet the assumption of homogeneity of variance (use Levenes test). You must remember to unclick the split file option used above before conducting this test. What does the output tell you? (Be as specific as possible.)
8. Describe the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance. When these assumptions are violated, what are your options? Are there cases in which the assumptions may technically be violated, yet have no impact on your intended analyses? Explain.
Your submittal should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Where applicable your submittal should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

This assignment requires the student to thoughtfully examine his/her career goals and aspirations. Students are required to select one aspect of the sports industry covered in this course and decide which one most interests them as a career choice. Even if the student is not sure of a career in the sports industry, or if the student has a career plan that may not involve sports, this paper must be written as if the student had to choose a career in sports. If the student wants a career in sports that has not been addressed in the course (such as a coach or player), this paper must still be based on one of the areas covered by the text. These areas include:
Professional Sport
Interscholastic Sport
Intercollegiate Sport
Parks and Recreation
Youth Sport
Agencies (Representation)
Sport Marketing
Sports Tourism
Event Management
Facility Management
Sport LawThe paper should begin with a brief description of the selected career and a brief overview of the industry segment selected. The second section of the paper (and the section that should make up a bulk of the report) should address the following questions:1. Why? What is it about that area of the sports industry that appeals to the student? What personal experiences has the student had that have drawn them to that particular area?
2. What? What skills will be needed? According to the text, what are professionals in the selected area of interest required to know how to do? Also, what kinds of jobs in this area are even available?
3. How? This is not necessarily a career path, but, in conjunction with No. 2, a descriptive outline of how the student can prepare for a career in the area. What sort of training or education is needed? What kind of practical experience can help lead to the chosen job?Students should first register at www.workinsports.com. It is free, and will allow the student to at least browse what jobs are available in the industry.
Choose one of the items below to write a paper. The paper must have a thesis statement and paragraphs with evidence from the book supporting your thesis statement. You must use 4 sources (3) three scholarly articles (provided) and (1) various quotations from anywhere in Desert Solitaire. All 4 of these sources need to be listed on a properly-formatted Works Cited list or Bibliography at the end of your paper.Here are your choices of writing prompts for the research essay:1. Edward Abbey has been connected at times with the un-humanist poet Robinson Jeffers, who declared in one poem that except for the penalties, hed sooner kill a man than hurt a hawk. Do you see serious evidence of misanthropy in Desert Solitaire? Do you think Abbey presents himself favorably, or as a cranky and eccentric malcontent?2. With any social critic we always inquire, sooner or later, whether he or she offers solutions. Do you think Abbey directly or indirectly includes solutions in his agenda, and if so, what are their nature? If you detect no workable solutions, directly stated or implied, does that compromise the strength of the book, so far as youre concerned?3. Which chapters of Desert Solitaire do you most enjoy? Are you most satisfied when Abbey presents himself at ease in the natural world, or when he seems mostly intent on telling a story, or when he lashes out against the outside world?4. Two aspects of Abbeys book that sometimes get overlooked are his occasionally vividly descriptive or lyrical (poetic) prose and his comic sensibility. Where do you find evidence of these two important features of his writing?
