The purpose of the study was to investigate Finnish elementary and high school students' skills and practices of using the new information and communication technologies (ICT). Beliefs about the importance of ICT were also assessed. Five hundred and ®fteen students responded to a self-report questionnaire. The students attended 25 schools that used ICT intensively and represented all provinces ...

We study, in various special cases, total distributions on the product of a finite collection of finite probability spaces and, in particular, the question of when the probability distribution of each factor space is determined by the total

The word “researcher” is loaded and often confusing. It takes years to become one and to master all of its aspects. In this paper, we investigate whether or not this process of “becoming” can be catalyzed through education. The focus will be on wireless communications, though the same principle could very well be replicated to other disciplines.

The analog of Toupin's version of Saint-Venant's principle is proved for an isotropie, linear elastic mieropolar body of arbitrary length and of uniform cross-section which in the unstressed state is helical. That is, when such a body is loaded by self-equilibrated stresses and couple stresses at one end only, we show that the elastic strain energy stored in the part of the body beyond a certai...

In this paper, we revisit the relationship between governance and human development in Africa during period 2010-2019 taking into account existence of spatial dependence controlling endogeneity problem through a Generalized Spatial Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS). The exploratory data analysis reveals quality. Our empirical findings support that Africa, “good fences make good neighbours” or prox...

This research is aim to get a better understanding of the impact migration on welfare migrants in Indonesia. Using Instrumental Variable 2sls (IV) and IV probit, this study finds that has positive effect income. Nevertheless, it was discovered increases likelihood children being unhealthy causes schooling be interrupted when they should high school. migration's potential detrimental influence h...

In this paper we provide further results on the properties of the IV estimator in the presence of weak instruments.We begin by formalizing the notion of weak identi ̄cation within the local-to-zero asymptotic framework of Staiger and Stock (1997), and deriving explicit analytical formulae for the asymptotic bias and mean square error (MSE) of the IV estimator. These results generalize earlier ̄n...
