There exist different methods and definition how to measure poverty. It can be measured by income or consumption, objectively or as a perception of individuals for their socio-economic situation.The objective and subjective poverty are highly correlated and both are influenced by socioeconomic factors. Till now, it is the objective poverty mostly considered while the subjective one has been analyzed only as a part of it. Assessments of the subjective poverty are more scarce, especially in the case of transition countries. Different studies proposed advantages and disadvantages of using each method. The significance of different factors shows the characteristics and the trend of monetary or subjective poverty. The national poverty is Albania is calculated through monetary poverty. There are a set of influenced factors related with household composition, geographic division, education and other socio-economic indicators. In this paper we analyze the perception of individuals for the poverty, the relationship of this perception with the objective poverty, and the socio-demographic factors that influence the probability of being poor. There are used the data from the Albanian Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS).

In Albania almost 50% of the household expenditures go for food. The levels of the food have change by years but still have a considered weight in household budget. The study shows the trend and the significant factors that influence the food and non food consumption for different economic levels of the households in Albania. Household composition, geographic characteristics and other material deprivation dimensions have an important impact to the consumption trend and household wellbeing. The data refers to the Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS), which measure poverty through expenditures method. It is a multidimensional survey and gives us the possibility to have multi indicators and also disaggregate and test the relationship and influence. This paper shows the trend by household size, for different regions, the typology of the household and other socio-economic factors that may influence the food and non food expenditures trend. It is used the descriptive analyses and quintile regression of different foods level by different factors. The calculations are done using SPSS and Stata.

A self-report inventory made up of items from the Buss-Durkee manifest aggressiveness scales, the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, and the Masculinity-Femininity scale of the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey was administered to 72 men along with a test of verbal associations to aggressive and neutral cue words. The number of aggressive associations made to aggressive cue words was highly correlated with over-all manifest aggressiveness and with two of the aggressiveness subscales. The results were discussed in terms of the relationship of aggressiveness habit strength to verbal behavior.

The Relationship

A comparison was made of two sociometric measures of personality integration. Contrary to prediction, the more brief, 6-item PIRT scale was significantly more reliable ( r11 = .84) than the lengthier 30-item ESD scale ( r11 = .74). Also contrary to prediction, neither test was more highly correlated than the other (and therefore more valid) with any of 8 construct-validity measures. It was concluded that the PIRT was the more functional measure and therefore recommended for use in future personality integration research. Earlier results concerning the relationship of personality integration to self-concept and environmental contact, as well as locus of control and locus of evaluation in college-age females, were replicated.

Mode Of Production

The relationship of household and family organization to changes in the larger economy (e.g., commercialization, industrialization) has long fascinated and baffled scholars. Data that specifically link the household and/or family unit to economic change have proved elusive, and most studies do little more than note temporal crosscultural coincidences of demographic and residential characteristics with those of economic development. The means by which the household interacted with the economy, what the patterns of interaction were and how they were determined in a given time and place are significant questions which are seldom addressed. Even less accessible are the changes in the dynamics of household organization in conjunction with economic development in terms of informal economic and social exchanges and household and family formation.

Carcinogenic response is compared to noncarcinogenic toxicity in that group of chemicals tested by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Toxicology Program (NTP) between 1976 and 1982 and reported in the Carcinogenesis Technical Report Series. A positive finding of carcinogenicity in the bioassay is correlated with the degree of noncarcinogenic chronic toxicity of the dose applied. Comparisons of acute toxicity (LD50) with carcinogenic potency show that they are correlated, but the correlation may in part be an artifact, since doses used in the NCI/NTP carcinogenesis bioassays are toxic and because reliable measures of potency can only be derived for positive carcinogenic responses. The high correlations for certain classes of chemicals and the relationship of chronic toxicity to positive carcinogenic finding suggest that these relationships are more than spurious. Since toxicities in different species are highly correlated, these findings imply that carcinogenicities in different species are also correlated.

AbstractA lattice-gas model is presented, where ions are diffusing in an energy landscape due to immobile, randomly placed counterions. All Coulombic interactions are taken into account.By Monte Carlo simulations we obtain the ac-conductivity, which shows strong dispersion in the form of power-laws. In a separate study we investigate a restricted model, where long-range diffusion is suppressed. These calculations suggest that the response at high frequencies can be interpreted in terms of highly correlated, local motions of dipolar character. Conductivity exponents n1 near unity or even exceeding unity arefound in that regime. We discuss the relationship of these results to experiments on ionic transport in alkali-doped network glasses.

The research focused on the analysis of the interaction of the individual components of the system operationally efficient building – indoor environment quality – user has been conducted since 2014 in the Czech Republic by a team of College of Banking (BIVŠ) employees. The purpose of the research is the evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of operationally efficient buildings by their owners, users or facility managers. One of the most monitored research parameters is the rating of indoor environment quality and its influence in physical and psychological fitness and work performance of the building users. Next, there are also other relationships which are examined – as the importance of the indoor environment quality with regards to other building's parameters, its influence of the estate market value and the users' willingness to participate on the creation and keeping of indoor environment quality. The interpretation of gathered data proved a significant difference of the individual users' demands in relation to their individual preferences. This fact is necessary to respect while design and managing the operationally efficient buildings.

Indonesia is the fourth largest contributor to the population in the world after China, India and the United States. The 2017 IHDS showed the total fertility rate (TFR) was 2.4 children per woman. One program to reduce population growth rates and TFR is through the Family Planning (KB) program. This study aims to determine the relationship of education, age and parity to the choice of contraceptive methods for long and short-terms in Tanjung Anom Village, Salaman Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, Central Java Province. This research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional method. The data collection was done in October 2015. The study sample was women of childbearing age who used contraception in both long and short terms, as many as 46 people. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. Data was analyzed by univariate and bivariate. The result of the study showed that there was no significant relationship among education, age and parity towards the choice of both long and non-long contraception methods. The selection of contraceptive method is not only influenced by education, age and parity, but also by Socio-Demographic factors, Socio-Psychological factors, and health services
