61	Tasks for tests and A-levels using CAS Metzger-Schuhäker, Heidi 07 May 2012 (has links) Tasks for different years of the secondary level II are presented on the basis of long lasting experience with computer-assisted mathematics instruction. They include applications of mathematical skills as well as the testing of theoretical knowledge. Finally relevant A-levels tasks are presented that integrate different mathematical contents into every day connections from economy, medical science, sports asf. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/510 ddc:510
62	Investigating the Correlation Between Happiness and Macroeconomic Variables / En studie om korrelationen mellan lycka och makroekonomiska variabler Rafid, Mohammed, Hovsepyan, Ashot January 2021 (has links) This thesis aimed to find the correlation between happiness and macroeconomic variables using multiple linear regression analysis. The macroeconomic variables considered were GPD per capita, the Gini coefficient, unemployment rate, tax revenue of GDP, government spending on education and inflation. The data for self-reported happiness were collected from a global happiness survey. GDP per capita, the Gini coefficient and government expenditure on education were found to be positively correlated with happiness. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate and tax revenue of GDP showed a negative correlation. Inflation were found to not have a statistically significant relationship with happiness. Furthermore, the Gini coefficient was investigated more closely since the positive correlation was partially contradictory to previous research within the field. A simple linear regression analysis was therefore performed, which showed a negative relationship between happiness and the Gini coefficient. This could indicate that important regressors were not included in the main model. In conclusion, this thesis showed that the investigated macroeconomic variables have a statistically significant impact on the happiness of individuals. / I detta kandidatexamensarbete undersöks korrelationen mellan lycka och makroekonomiska variabler med hjälp av multipel linjär regression. De makroekonomiska variablerna som studerades är BNP per capita, Ginikoefficienten, arbetslöshet, skattekvot av BNP, offentliga utgifter för utbildning och inflation. Data för självuppskattad lycka hämtades från en global undersökning. BNP per capita, Ginikoefficienten och offentliga utgifter för utbildning visade sig ha en positiv korrelation med lycka, medans arbetslöshet och skattekvoten av BNP hade en negativ korrelation. Inflation visade sig ej ha en statistiskt signifikant korrelation med lycka. Vidare undersöktes Ginikoefficienten mer djupgående då den positiva korrelationen delvis motsätter sig tidigare forskning inom ämnet. Därav genomfördes en simpel linjär regressionsanalys, som nu visade på ett negativt samband mellan lycka och Ginikoefficienten. Detta kan vara ett tecken på att viktiga variabler inte har inkluderats i huvudmodellen. Sammantaget visar dessa resultat att de undersökta makroekonomiska variablerna har en statistiskt signifikant inverkan på individers lycka.

63	Poverty reduction strategies in South Africa Mbuli, Bhekizizwe Ntuthuko 31 March 2008 (has links) Between 45-57% of South Africans are estimated to be engulfed by poverty. In an attempt to identify policy instruments that could help change this status quo, the various strategies that have been implemented in countries (e.g. China, Vietnam and Uganda) that are known to have been relatively successful in reducing poverty are reviewed. In the process, this dissertation discusses the literature regarding poverty, with a particular emphasis on the definition, measurement and determinants thereof. Furthermore, South Africa's anti-poverty strategies are discussed. It turns out that these have met limited success. This is largely due to insufficient pro-poor economic growth, weak implementation/administration at the municipal level, slow asset redistribution, high income/wealth inequality, low job generation rate by SMME's, high HIV/AIDS infection rate, public corruption and inadequate monitoring of poverty. Therefore, if meaningful progress towards poverty reduction is to be achieved, the government needs to deal with the foregoing constraints accordingly. / Economics / M.Comm.
