Socioeconomics - Science topic

When conducting quantitative research on family and socioeconomics, several ethical concerns can arise. Some of the key ethical considerations to keep in mind include:

1. Informed consent: Researchers must ensure that participants are fully informed about the purpose of the study, the procedures involved, and any potential risks or benefits. In the context of family and socioeconomics research, participants may be vulnerable due to their socio-economic status, family dynamics, or personal circumstances. Researchers should take extra care to obtain informed consent from all participants, including children and vulnerable populations.

2. Privacy and confidentiality: Researchers must protect the privacy and confidentiality of participants' data, especially when it comes to sensitive information related to family relationships, financial situations, or other personal matters. Data should be securely stored and only accessible to authorized personnel to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.

3. Potential harm: Researchers should consider the potential harm that may arise from participation in the study, particularly in the context of family and socioeconomics research. Participants may experience distress or discomfort when discussing sensitive topics related to their family dynamics, financial situation, or socio-economic status. Researchers should take steps to minimize harm and provide appropriate support or referrals if necessary.

4. Power dynamics: In studies involving families and socioeconomics, researchers must be aware of power dynamics within family units and socio-economic groups. Researchers should strive to maintain a balance of power and avoid exploiting vulnerable participants. It is essential to ensure that all participants are treated with respect and have the opportunity to withdraw from the study at any time.

5. Cultural sensitivity: Researchers should be culturally sensitive and respectful of participants' beliefs, values, and practices when conducting research on family and socioeconomics. Cultural differences may impact how participants perceive the research topic or how they interact with researchers. Researchers should take steps to ensure that the research process is inclusive and respectful of diverse cultural perspectives.

6. Data integrity: Researchers must ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data collected in quantitative research on family and socioeconomics. Data should be collected, analyzed, and reported in a transparent and unbiased manner to maintain the credibility of the research findings. Researchers should follow ethical guidelines and best practices for data collection and analysis to uphold the integrity of the research.

Overall, researchers conducting quantitative research on family and socioeconomics must adhere to ethical principles and guidelines to protect the rights and well-being of participants, maintain data confidentiality and integrity, and address potential ethical concerns that may arise in the research process. By upholding ethical standards, researchers can ensure that their research contributes positively to our understanding of family dynamics and socio-economic factors while upholding the rights and dignity of participants.

In South Africa, socioeconomic barriers significantly impact uninsured individuals, hindering their access to primary healthcare services. These barriers exacerbate health disparities and contribute to the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. Here are some ways in which socioeconomic factors affect the uninsured in South Africa:

Addressing these socioeconomic barriers requires a multi-faceted approach, including policy interventions, community outreach, and efforts to strengthen the public healthcare system. Initiatives aimed at reducing poverty, improving education, and expanding access to affordable healthcare services can contribute to mitigating the impact of these barriers on the uninsured population in South Africa.

Despite "references" - many of which are more opinion pieces than research - it sounds like most of your posts are metaphysical discussion points rather than anything related to the more narrow realm of the Scientific Method in research and discovery.

You might find more active debate or subjects for further evaluation in a forum like Quora than in Researchgate.

Ethiopia is known for its diverse river systems, which exhibit several general characteristics:

1. Origin and Flow: Ethiopian rivers generally originate from highlands and mountains, such as the Ethiopian Highlands and the Simien Mountains. They often have their sources in the central and northern parts of the country and flow in different directions, eventually reaching various drainage basins. The flow of rivers in Ethiopia is highly influenced by the country's topography and rainfall patterns.

2. Seasonal Variation: Ethiopian rivers typically exhibit significant seasonal variation in water flow. The country experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, with the majority of precipitation occurring during the rainy season, which varies across different regions. As a result, river flows can vary greatly throughout the year, with higher water levels during the rainy season and reduced flows during the dry season.

3. Intermittent Rivers: Some rivers in Ethiopia are intermittent, meaning they may cease to flow or decrease to a minimal flow during the dry season. This is particularly true for rivers in arid and semi-arid regions, where water availability is limited. During the dry season, these rivers may contain isolated pools or completely dry up until the next rainy season.

4. Hydrological Diversity: Ethiopian rivers exhibit a wide range of hydrological characteristics. Some rivers are characterized by high flow rates and swift currents, especially in mountainous regions where steep gradients exist. Other rivers may have slower flow rates and meander through lowland areas. The hydrological diversity is influenced by factors such as elevation, topography, geology, and vegetation cover.

5. Sediment Transport: Ethiopian rivers often carry substantial amounts of sediment due to the erosive forces of the highland areas and the steep slopes they traverse. Sediment transport is especially significant during the rainy season when runoff erodes the soil and transports it downstream. This sediment transport plays a crucial role in shaping the river channels and can have implications for downstream ecosystems and water management.

6. Ecological Importance: Ethiopian rivers are vital ecosystems that support diverse aquatic and riparian habitats. They provide habitats for numerous fish species, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. Riverine vegetation along the banks provides important habitats for birds and other wildlife. These rivers also sustain agricultural activities and livelihoods through irrigation and serve as water sources for both human and livestock consumption.

It's important to note that while these characteristics are generally applicable to Ethiopian rivers, there can be significant variations across different river systems within the country. Factors such as climate, geography, and local conditions can result in unique characteristics for specific rivers or river basins in Ethiopia.

Human population growth and the demographic transition

"ABSTRACT

The world and most regions and countries are experiencing unprecedentedly rapid demographic change. The most obvious example of this change is the huge expansion of human numbers: four billion have been added since 1950. Projections for the next half century expect a highly divergent world, with stagnation or potential decline in parts of the developed world and continued rapid growth in the least developed regions. Other demographic processes are also undergoing extraordinary change: women's fertility has dropped rapidly and life expectancy has risen to new highs. Past trends in fertility and mortality have led to very young populations in high fertility countries in the developing world and to increasingly older populations in the developed world. Contemporary societies are now at very different stages of their demographic transitions.

Global population growth will continue for decades, reaching around 9.2 billion in 2050 and peaking still higher later in the century. The demographic drivers of this growth are high fertility in parts of the South, as well as declining mortality and momentum. This large expansion in human numbers and of the accompanying changes in the age structure will have multiple consequences for society, the economy and the environment."

Thank you for the question and the answers above! Besides what you have already highlighted, according to our experience as both lecturer and researcher in medical schools, including patient-centeredness if fundamental to train the future healthcare professional's humanistic skills, which include not only situating and empowering the patients, but also situating the healthcare professional itself as la person dealing with another person.

Students report difficulties to face something as basic as learning how to deal with another human being. Moreover if this human being is in pain, scared, dis-eased and you are the one expecting to be helpful. Medical training is focused on data analysis, decision making, a precise knowledge of pathology, etcetera. Which enclose them in the amaze and the demand of their discipline. But nobody teaches them how to BE WITH a person in need/pain/despair/scared. Some of our students face severe mental health problems when facing real patients/people, and report they do not feel enough prepared by the training methodologies, despite all the readings, exercises, simulations, etc.

It seams that students should be exposed to people/patients since the early years of their training, and not only during interships, to really benefit from-and assimilate a patient-centered healthcare approach.

Thank you.

You are right, the momentum had for achieving SDGs prior to Covid19 was diminished with new normal that enterprises to individual looking for survival than achieving greater goals. In fact, we need think about what actually has happened during the pandemic...it driven us for more sustainable way of living, reducing our carbon footprint....converting our way of living to reduce carbon emission etc. So, I believe we need pitch on this and convince the public on the benefits of that...We need to prioritise sustainability across the board.

Whether or not a government should provide incentive really depends on the political economy. In China, the government is so powerful that it can force peasants to agree to land expropriation even with compensation lower than market price. So, political economy matters and varies.

A scoping review is less likely to seek to address specific research questions in detail and will not usually assess all aspects of the literature. It is a type of review that aims to identify the nature and extent of research evidence on a particular topic, and to map the existing literature. On the other hand, a narrative review relies on the author's background knowledge on a topic and is more biased than systematic and scoping reviews. A systematic review, on the other hand, is a comprehensive and reproducible review of the literature that uses a rigorous and transparent methodology to identify, appraise, and synthesize all relevant studies on a specific research question.

Guillermo López Franco Family plays a significant role in shaping a child's education opportunities and social mobility. Parenting styles, social class, and cultural capital all impact a child's access to educational resources and opportunities, which can in turn shape their future opportunities and social mobility. While school is often seen as the key to equality of opportunity and social mobility, these other factors cannot be ignored and can have a substantial influence.

Post-COVID-19 Opportunities in developing countries

Various efforts have been made by the government, including: through the National Economic Recovery to protect vulnerable communities and stimulate the business sector to return to positive growth; the new program is a job loss guarantee; and increase vaccine delivery to the entire population.

Holding sizes, available resources, existing crops and their geometry, input requirements of the crop etc. are important key points.

Changes and transformations of social−economic systems in this era are rooted in science and technology progress and changes . Now days, the survival of organizations requires finding solutions and new ways of dealing with problems which very dependent on innovation, invention, creation of products, processes, and new managerial methods. What has become increasingly apparent to researchers is that when pursuing new opportunities with limited resources, the entrepreneur must use innovative approaches in the face of these uncertainties

Dated, though still a useful introduction to the subject - Ryszard Stemplowski (ed) Europe and Latin America: Looking at each other (Warsaw: Polish Institute of International Affairs, 2010). Several contributions compare development strategy in Latin American and Eastern Europe from historical and (near) contemporary perspectives). Some consider the extent to which counties of Latin America and Eastern Europe became 'laboratories' for policy models. Chapters written mainly by social scientists and historians. There is also a companion volume.

I got a little bit confused here, but maybe is just the language or something like that! lol.

I understand as a control group, not just one that i actually manage or interact with, but a collective of individuals or elements that share similarities, except for the variable that you want to analyse.

This analysis exactly like you understood, where i compare diferent cities to understand the impact of a disaster in one of then, if it is not a control group, there is another name?

I am not sure, but in portuguese we call it also as a control group!

You might want to use the adjusted-R square. Apart from what it is mentioned above by Proloy Barua , in principle, it should not be a problem if you are interested in the marginal effect of the variables you included in the regression. If you are interested in explaning as much as possible of the variation of the outcome variable, the R square you get it can be considered as low.

Researcher have employed artificial neutral networks, time series intervention, grey fuzzy dynamic, two-stage support- vector-regression models.

very interesting research, could one say that logically one would expect that the higher rate of financial literacy, the more scrupulous the retirement plans? or does income(which probably positively correlates with financial literacy) play a bigger role?

I think if your measuring scale for the variables that you want to add up is same then you can take simple mean score of them. You can try it. if measuring scale is different then look for reduction of dimensionality.

Just a suggestion

Use the Cause and Effect logic to create a flow chart of events and then prioritise your indicators

Dear Abubakar Muhammad Abubakar ,

Your question concerns the effect of the mobile base stations pn the nearby residentials.

I think it can have multiple effects:

May be the most important is the effect of the electromagnetic radiation on such people. Such people will be subject to greater radio frequency radiation dose than the people who are residing far from the stations. So, you can find studies on the effect of mobile radiation on the humans.

The other effect is positive which is they enjoy a strong recieved signal and can have a much higher data rate a nd reliable communication. So, they can get the full service from the service provider. This may lead to communication time saving and better service which may save money for them.

How much one can save through better service may be studied in the literature.

So, you have more key words to search for literature on your topic in the internet.

Best wishes

Much has changed in the economy over the past few months due to the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic. Construction industry companies received financial public aid. Therefore, the construction investments started in previous years could be completed in 2020. Consequently, the construction sector was one of those sectors where many jobs were saved despite the economic crisis.

Noelia Peña Arauzo I guess this Q is to me even if I found it in a public forum and by coincidence. When we created this IAD test we look on several different scales that cut fit a questionnaire on scales in the area of approx 6 Q´s. like 1-5 or 0-6 . So we looked at many and like MARDS test an depression scale. So the scales are a little bit similar and like this.

There are not acceptable new social values to resolve an economic crisis such as the one we face in Venezuela, Dear Shahida Anusha Siddiqui.

Any familiar values were simply dismantled by a well thought criminal gangster organization called CastroChavismo, which uses social media to deny the genocide using fake news and to polarize more what remains of our family culture.

In Venezuela, the battlefield for freedom, and rule of law is the family and in such a case, values are to be fixed from the past, where Venezuelans were successful to live in peace and harmony.

How? a war, unfortunately, Why? in order to capture and prosecute CastroChavistas for crimes against humanity committed.

Can you explain "I refrain from running a regression because the interpretation would be rather vague." It is rather vague.

Thank you for your question. Not finding a "suitable theory" doesn't mean that you have to change your topic. Just start with the empirical part and then figure out the theory on the fly. For a Bachelor thesis this should suffice.

Good luck!

The US Forest Service developed a Framework to assess watershed condition about 15 years ago. All the watersheds on the National Forests were assessed using this framework. It used parameters such as population, land use, etc. The various factors were assessed in GIS and evaluated by in interdisciplinary team on each forest. Land uses with high potential or risk were urban areas, numbers of point source discharges, agriculture especially annual cropping, barren areas, road density and similar land uses or activities. Forests and grasslands would be examples of land uses with low risks. In general, much of the analysis was developed by hydrologists and soil and water experts, and for most National Forests, Th assessment teams included this level of expertise to help evaluate, rate and compare watershed conditions. Each forest then identified one or more watersheds for more intensive planning and treatment directed to improve conditions. Much of the rating required some professional guidance in the ratings, such as for example, a watershed with less then 1 mile of road per square mile might have low risk for that factor. Numerous factors were considered and rated. This level of detail might be more than you were searching for.

Dear sir,

Greetings of the day.

The 4Rs theory is one of the existing frameworks of disaster risk and resilience education using for emergency management or disaster management. The term 4Rs is very popular in New Zealand and known as the four phases of emergency management cycle. The meaning of 4Rs are given below:

Readiness = Preparedness

Response

Recovery

Reduction = Mitigation

The concept of 4Rs also involves emergency plans, structures, and arrangements that established to engage the normal endeavors of government, voluntary agencies, NGOs and INGOs in a comprehensive and coordinated way to respond to the whole spectrum of global emergency needs. This is also known as disaster management (DM). In the concept of 4Rs, resilience describes as the aim of the four phases of emergency management as an ability to recover people and their resources from or adjust easily to disastrous misfortunes or catastrophic changes. Now, it is as one of the accepted existing frameworks of disaster risk and resilience education to open/start disaster management (DM) education at university and school level that is exercising in DM education & for research as well by the disaster risk and resilience education managers and practitioners.

With best compliments.

Thankfully yours,

Good question

While it is clear that Apis mellifera (as well as many human food crops) have been introduced to other parts of the world, the matter of whether that was a negative, positive or neutral influence is to me, a question, not a fact.

Generally it is believed that it is the Head only who is responsible for the academic failure in any university. To some extent, its true, but to me its the whole the team who is responsible for the uplift any academia. This team includes:

a.Tthe honest, efficient, qualified and the dedicated leadership who can run the system effectively,

b. Qualified, dedicated faculty who can bring new knowledge and cross academic experience for teaching and nurturing (tarbiat) the students,

c. Energetic, dedicated and trained staff

In my opinion, the overall major causes for the academic failure mainly in the developing countries are:

i. Non transparency in employment and financial transactions

ii. Non existence/non implementation of academic policies

iii. Non sufficient Resources/Modern/Updated facilities (lib, lab and research)

iii. External interference

iv. Internal interference

v. Over employment

vi. Corruption

vii. Mis-Management etc

Roberto, you have raised an important issue here, which, to my mind, focuses on the extent to which the current Coronavirus health crisis has accentuated the vast differences between developed and developing economies, on the one hand, as well as the growing inequalities between the rich and under-privileged in society. Part of the explanation for such a divide is the predominantly capitalist system that mainly obtains in the West but which has been practised in various guises throughout the world. The question then becomes 'is there a better economic system that can alleviate, if not bridge, the growing gap between nation states and individuals?' Whilst some are proposing a more humane form of capitalism that seeks to address the gap in a more humanitarian way (i.e. not only through winner takes it all approach), others propose a structural redress or a levelling of the hierarchies of power, wealth and control. Interesting...

Thank you for your responses. It is very much agreed that AI is a 'tool' but it becomes dangerous when given access to the BIG DATA. There used to be a term 'wisdom of crowd' i.e. the randomness among the crowd due to various experiences they have ACQUIRED through their lives. Firstly, BIG DATA is killing the value of EXPERIENCE that humans acquire through visual and other senses. Secondly, a handful of programmers can build an algorithm for AI that on the basis of the BIG DATA, makes the machine much more smarter than an average human being.

I consider that one of the aspects that has failed in this Pandemic has been the lack of a preventive culture of the population because Health Education and Health Literacy is failing in the population because it is not included as a transcendent competence between the activities and skills that patients must be incorporated.

I would start with Arnold Gesell, Jean Piaget and other great psychologists who studied child' moral judgment. Without a good knowledge o the child psychology, how would I educate them. Also, I do not think that "skill" is the right word though is very used by the today utilitarian psychology. We talk here about the good and bad and the discrimination capacity of the children and teens. I would use a lot of dramatic play, stories, some literature (as ' Cuore' by de Amicis, 'Pinocchio' by C. Collodi, some of Gianni Rodari writings, Dickens- Oliver Twist, discussions on some Panchatantra stories), . Also, a lot of activities useful for each other or other people and for animals. lots of group activities but not forced as cooperative projects. And no preaching, just compassion for the people being in bad situation (including perhaps their own parents), and a lot of love. Children in the situation you have described need not so much skills but therapy (a warm understanding) because they already have very bad experiences.

Technology is very important for every country, to make an advanced using resources efficiency, education system , can give you the real applied knowledge as the base to Patent and innovation.

There is one going on in Europe as we speak and it is called Brexit. Brexit is a confluence of a panoply of factors that include nationalism, sovereignty, culture, as well as other sociio-economic considerations. Immigration forms a large part of Brexit and for some, it is the main or determining factor in Britain's decision to exit the EU. This is an example of intra-continental migration.

Social science has always addressed the subject of inter as well as intra continental migration and often the same themes recur, such as mentioned above. Other additional features may include the racial and ethnic composition of migrants and how they are perceived by host nations.

i am not sure that what is happening in South Africa is significantly different to other cases where tension arises between migrants and their host, despite the need to identify specific factors that may lie at the heart of this occurrence. While the violence is deplorable, the facts that attend as causality appear to be the same.

In the case of Indonesia, after decades of centralization we committed to embark political as well as fiscal decentralization. For fiscal the decentralization, central government transfers decentralization funds in terms of general allocation funds (block grants), specific allocation funds (specific grants) and revenue sharing funds. In general, central government collect most of revenues, including tax and taxon revenues from natural resources exploitation.

In respect to your question, revenue sharing funds channels back revenues from natural resource exploitation to local government where the resources are located. The resources include forestry, fishery, mining, oil, gas, and geothermal. The proportion of sharing depends on type of resource, e.g. for oil is 15.5% of revenues go to producer province/district.

It is difficult to put current or recent China's projects as a source of inspiration for Western countries. Delta works is the largest public project in the Netherlands. It was accepted in 1958 and it was completed in 1997. The initial plan was for 25 years and the estimated costs -- 20% of the national GDP of 1958.

I think we are at a stage were we agree that equity is the bone of contention.

Muhamamd,

before using the data for any substantive analyses, I would make sure that measurement is "invariant" (equivalent) between the two groups.

See:

Ah, I see. And what about the socioeconomic (SE) variables? I am interested in each of the dimension's impact (ran three separate regression models) on the index score controlled by these SE variables. As I understand, PCA will tell me which dimension has a larger impact on index but does not factor in SE variables, correct?

If you do not have multiple measurements for any of your variables, then SEM is not appropriate, and should should use regression.

Another problem you have to consider is about respondent’s willingness to participate. You have to have a reliable database of lead contacts and be aware that response rate is very low, commonly around 5% to 10% so if you need a sample of 400 subjects, for example, you have to contact at least 8000 people.

Of course, never forget the main characteristics of your sample otherwise your results will be biased.
