The relationship between Hamstring strength index 60 degree/s and the Shuttle run test is a negative relationship due to r moves away from zero in negative direction and r = −0.149, the strength of this negative relationships would be weak with r -0.5 r=-0.528**, is more significant since p =0.002< 0.01, where r = −0.498** is significant at p =0.004< 0.01. The smaller the p-value in a test of hypothesis the more significant the results are. 8. The researchers stated that the study showed a positive, significant correlation between Quadriceps strength indices and pre- and postoperative functional stability Considering the data presented in the Table 5, do you agree with their statement? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Symbolic Interactionist Perspective Media Analysis Lehua Wilkins SOC/100 December 9, 2013 Sarah Smorol Symbolic Interactionist Perspective Media Analysis To discuss the symbolic interactionist perspective through media this author watched “Animal Cops” that can be viewed on the Animal Planet channel.

Lin Article Critique: Part 2 Dustin T. Rheel Liberty University Counseling 503, D22 Professor Carlene Taylor November 25, 2012 Critique of Population and Sampling In the Lin, Mack, Enright, Krahn, and Baskin article (2004) article, they sampled forty-three participants from various drug rehabilitation centers. These participants were suffering from alcohol and other drug dependences. Some of the participants were referred by the therapist and then the suggested participants then had the option to participate or not, thus making the sample used not random. Even though the sample was not random, they were randomly selected to be in one of 2 groups, Forgiveness Therapy (FT) or Alcohol and Drug Counseling (ADC) (Lin et al., 2004).

Steroids have been reported anecdotally to achieve success when given in pulse doses or low doses to minimize adverse effects. The benefits versus the toxicity of this therapy must be weighed carefully. More research is necessary to establish the safety and effectiveness of this therapy for vitiligo. A topical steroid preparation is often chosen first to treat localized vitiligo because it is easy and convenient for both doctors and patients to maintain the treatment. The results of therapy have been reported as moderately successful, particularly in patients with localized vitiligo and/or an inflammatory component to their vitiligo, even if the inflammation is subclinical.
