BAIDEN Signature: ........................................................... Date: ................................................................... i ABSTRACT Mining activities are undertaken in many parts of the world where mineral deposits are found. In developing nations such as Ghana, the activity is done both legally and illegally, often with very little or no supervision, hence much damage is done to the water bodies where the activities are carried out. This study sought to assess the social impacts of illegal gold mining activities at Dunkwa-On-Offin, the capital town of Upper Denkyira East Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. The main objectives of the research are to identify factors that trigger illegal mining; to identify social effects of illegal gold mining activities on inhabitants of Dunkwa-on-Offin; and to suggest effective ways in curbing illegal mining activities. Based on the approach to data collection, this study adopts both the quantitative and qualitative approach.

  • Non-Inferiority, Superiority, Equivalence, and Two-Sided Tests Vs
    NCSS Statistical Software NCSS.com Chapter 516 Two Proportions – Non-Inferiority, Superiority, Equivalence, and Two- Sided Tests vs. a Margin Introduction This chapter documents four closely related procedures: non-inferiority tests, superiority (by a margin) tests, equivalence tests, and two-sided tests versus a margin. These procedures compute both asymptotic and exact confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for the difference, ratio, and odds ratio of two proportions. Non-Inferiority Tests Non-inferiority tests are one-sided hypothesis tests in which the null and alternative hypotheses are arranged to test whether one group is almost as good (not much worse) than the other group. So, we might be interested in showing that a new, less-expensive method of treatment is no worse than the current method of treatment. Superiority Tests Superiority tests are one-sided hypothesis tests in which the null and alternative hypotheses are arranged to test whether one group is better than the other group by more than a stated margin. So, we might be interested in showing that a new method of treatment is better by more than a clinically insignificant amount. Equivalence Tests Equivalence tests are used to show conclusively that two methods (i.e. drugs) are equivalent. The conventional method of testing equivalence hypotheses is to perform two, one-sided tests (TOST) of hypotheses. The null hypothesis of non-equivalence is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis of equivalence if both one-sided tests are rejected. Unlike the common two-sided tests, however, the type I error rate is set directly at the nominal level (usually 0.05)—it is not split in half.

The data used for the study were sourced primarily from the sample of 1720 out of 3823 empirical on and off line journals from various science and social sciences fields. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate the consistency of use of the digital tools in the methodology of the research outputs. Model for measuring the chance of acceptance and originality of the research was established. The Cockhran test and Bartlet Statistic revealed that there were significant relationship among the research from the Polytechnic, University and other institution in Nigeria and beyond. It also showed that most researchers still appeal to manual rather than digital which hampered the input internationally and found to be peculiar among lecturers in the system that have not yet appreciate IT penetration in Learning.

  • Simulation Study to Compare the Random Data Generation from Bernoulli Distribution in Popular Statistical Packages
    Simulation Study to Compare the Random Data Generation from Bernoulli Distribution in Popular Statistical Packages Manash Pratim Kashyap Department of Business Administration Assam University, Silchar, India [email protected] Nadeem Shafique Butt PIQC Institute of Quality Lahore, Pakistan [email protected] Dibyojyoti Bhattacharjee Department of Business Administration Assam University, Silchar, India [email protected] Abstract In study of the statistical packages, simulation from probability distributions is one of the important aspects. This paper is based on simulation study from Bernoulli distribution conducted by various popular statistical packages like R, SAS, Minitab, MS Excel and PASW. The accuracy of generated random data is tested through Chi-Square goodness of fit test. This simulation study based on 8685000 random numbers and 27000 tests of significance shows that ability to simulate random data from Bernoulli distribution is best in SAS and is closely followed by R Language, while Minitab showed the worst performance among compared packages. Keywords: Bernoulli distribution, Goodness of Fit, Minitab, MS Excel, PASW, SAS, Simulation, R language 1. Introduction Use of Statistical software is increasing day by day in scientific research, market surveys and educational research. It is therefore necessary to compare the ability and accuracy of different statistical softwares. This study focuses a comparison of random data generation from Bernoulli distribution among five softwares R, SAS, Minitab, MS Excel and PASW (Formerly SPSS). The statistical packages are selected for comparison on the basis of their popularity and wide usage. Simulation is the statistical method to recreate situation, often repeatedly, so that likelihood of various outcomes can be more accurately estimated.

  • Plasma Amino Acid and Whole Blood Taurine Concentrations in Cats Eating Commercially Prepared Diets
    Plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations in cats eating commercially prepared diets Cailin R. Heinze, VMD; Jennifer A. Larsen, DVM, PhD; Philip H. Kass, DVM, PhD; Andrea J. Fascetti, VMD, PhD Objective —To establish comprehensive reference ranges for plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations in healthy adult cats eating commercial diets and to evaluate the relationships of age, sex, body weight, body condition score (BCS), dietary protein concentration, and dietary ingredients with plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations. Animals —120 healthy adult cats. Procedures —Blood samples and a complete health and diet history were obtained for each cat, and reference intervals for plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations were determined. Results were analyzed for associations of age, breed, sex, body weight, BCS, use of heparin, sample hemolysis and lipemia, dietary protein concentrations, and dietary ingredients with amino acid concentrations. Results —95% reference intervals were determined for plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations. A significant difference in amino acid concentrations on the basis of sex was apparent for multiple amino acids. There was no clear relationship between age, BCS, body weight, and dietary protein concentration and amino acid concentrations. Differ - ences in amino acid concentrations were detected for various dietary ingredients, but the relationships were difficult to interpret. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance —This study provided data on plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations for a large population of adult cats eating commercial diets. Plasma amino acid and whole blood taurine concentrations were not affected by age, BCS, or body weight but were affected by sex and neuter status.
