Relationships Exist Between Chemistry Self-Efficacy In College Students And Academic Outcomes In Chemical Education, Daniel Teoli

Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review

Introductory and preparatory chemistry courses hold a particular importance to students across a wide range of academic specialties and majors. In addition to serving as a potential primer for students interested in the possibility of majoring in chemistry, introductory and preparatory chemical education has been actively integrated into the curriculum of other fields within the natural science spectrum (such as biology and physics). Additionally, under the umbrella of requisite coursework, it has gained a strong pertinence to applied sciences such as nursing, engineering, and exercise physiology (Tai, Sadler, and Loehr 2005).

Learning From Mistakes: Decriminalizing Prostitution In The United States, Katheryn E. Marcum

Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review

Prostitution is, according to cliché, the world’s oldest profession. It is also an activity greatly disputed by many, all over the world. Nearly every country has developed some way to address the issue. In the United States of America, prostitution is against the law in forty-nine of fifty states and heavily regulated in the other. The fact of the matter is that prostitution must exist because there is demand for it, and as long as that demand persists, so will the activity. Prostitution occurs across the globe between people of all genders, sexualities, ages and religions, and many other countries …

Three main steps in our paper include: 1) the visualization of the violent acts through linear and non-linear dimensionality reduction techniques; 2) sequential forward feature selection based …

“Pure Water” Sale And Its Socio - Economic Implications In Nigeria., Muhammad Bello Muhammad, Muhammad Tasiu Dansabo

Journal of Environmental Sustainability

The study aim to show the gradual acceptance of buying water in the open market across Nigeria. The commoditization of water is most manifest in the boom of packaged water, especially the ones in sachets popularly called ‘pure water’.
