This study investigates empirically the influence of home environment on the academic performance of the students in some selected schools in Dekina Local Government Area in Kogi State, Nigeria. The study was anchored on Charles Darwin Social Theory and Theory of Parent Involvement. The researcher used mainly primary data from a sample of 120 respondents obtained by the use of a well-structured questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The probability value of the estimate was used for accepting and rejecting the hypotheses of the study. The result of the regression analysis indicates that a positive relationship exist between parents’ economic status (PES) and Students Academic  Performance (SAP) in selected schools in Dekina Local Government Kogi State, Nigeria and the relationship is statistically significant (p<0.05). A positive relationship exist between parents educational background (PEB) and Students' Academic  Performance (SAP) in selected schools in Dekina Local Government Kogi State, Nigeria and the relationship is statistically significant (p<0.05). Parental marital style (PMS) was negatively related to Students' Academic Performance (SAP) in selected schools in Dekina Local Government Kogi State, Nigeria. Home location of parent (HLP) was positively related to Students' Academic  Performance (SAP) in selected schools in Dekina Local Government Kogi State, Nigeria and the relationship is statistically significant (p<0.05) and in line with a priori expectation. It was concluded that parents’ economic statuses, parental educational backgrounds, parental marital Styles, and home locations of parents all do have varying degrees of effects on the performance of students in the study area. It was recommended among others that illiterate parents should be encouraged to go to school, in that their literacy will enhance their children academic achievement in schools.

The research is to find out and analyze the contribution of Original income Equalization Funds against the region and the financial performance of local Government Counties and the city of se-West Java province. Hypothesis testing in this study using multiple regression analysis (Multiple Regression) on the grounds that its independent variable more than one. This analysis is used to determine the relationship between financial performance areas with independent variables (the original Revenue Equalization Fund and regional). To know the influence between independent variables with the performance levels of local government then performed testing of hypothesis testing research on the variables with the determination coefficient and t-test. Linear regression analysis of the barganda equation KKPD = 1.452 + 0, 561PAD – 0, 171DP + e.

The Relationship

The literature supports a positive relationship between spirituality and health. The relationship between spirituality and distress is an underresearched topic. We investigated the relationship between spiritual experiences (SE) and mental distress within two sociodemographically balanced samples (n = 100) of a spiritually practicing (SP) and a nonpracticing sample (NSP) for two points of measurement (t1; t2). Applying linear regression analysis we compared the influence from SEs, as measured with the Exceptional Experiences Questionnaire (EEQ; Kohls & Walach, 2006), towards mental distress measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI; Klaiberg, 2002). A strong association between the EEQ (t1) and the BSI (t1, t2) for the NSP (NSP: R2t1 = .36; R2t2 = .27) was found, but only a weak, relatively moderate one for the SP sample (SP: R2t1 = .07; R2t2 = .16). Path analysis revealed that SP seems to buffer deconstructive spiritual experiences (SP: ßt1 = .06 (ns); ßt2 = .18 (ns); NSP: ßt1 = .52 (p < .01); ßt2 = .39 (p < .01)) but not psychopathological experiences (SP: ßt1 = .20 (p = ns); ßt2 = .33 (p < .01); NSP: ßt1 = .18 (p = ns); ßt2 = .31 (p < .01), although no significant relationship was found for positive spiritual experiences and visionary dream experiences for either sample. Our findings suggest that spiritual practice seems to be a potential buffer for distress derived from experiences of ego loss. Correspondingly, the differentiation between experiences of ego loss and psychopathological experiences seems to be pivotal for understanding the intrapersonal effects of SP.

In addition, this study also aims to see how the legislative power variable can strengthen the relationship between regional wealth variables and capital expenditure on the performance of local government operations. The criteria for collecting sampling in this study were using purposive sampling techniques to obtain a sample of 149 provinces for five years. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis models with the Moderate Regression Analysis method. The results of the study indicated that the regional wealth variable did not affect the performance of regional government administration, while capital expenditure had a positive and significant effect on the performance of local government operations. The results also showed that legislative power could weaken the relationship between capital expenditure and the performance of local government operations.

Background: It is currently believed that protein folding rates are influenced by protein structure, environment and temperature, amino acid sequence and so on. We have been working for long to determine whether and in what ways mRNA affects the protein folding rate. A large number of palindromes aroused our attention in our previous research. Whether these palindromes do have important influences on protein folding rates and what’s the mechanism? Very few related studies are focused on these problems. Objective: In this article, our motivation is to find out if palindromes have important influences on protein folding rates and what’s the mechanism. Method: In this article, the parameters of the palindromes were defined and calculated, the linear regression analysis between the values of each parameter and the experimental protein folding rates were done. Furthermore, to compare the results of different kinds of proteins, proteins were classified into the two-state proteins and the multi-state proteins. For the two kinds of proteins, the above linear regression analysis were performed respectively. Results : Protein folding rates were negatively correlated to the palindrome frequencies for all proteins. An extremely significant negative linear correlation appeared in the relationship between palindrome densities and protein folding rates. And the repeatedly used bases by different palindromes simultaneously have an important effect on the relationship between palindrome density and protein folding rate. Conclusion: The palindromes have important influences on protein folding rates, and the repeatedly used bases in different palindromes simultaneously play a key role in influencing the protein folding rates.
