relationship between the nominal income per capita and the crime rate? Does the unemployment rate have any impact on the number of crimes? As one can notice‚ there are numerous economic and behavioural theories underlying the subject chosen. In fact‚ assuming the number of police agents is correlated to the number of property crimes‚ it is logical to think that a higher number of police agents will enhance security and help reducing the crime rates. However‚ a relatively large number of police agents can

Biology Task To investigate the effect of some factor affecting pulse rate Aim TO investigate how exercise affects the pulse rate. To do this‚ we took our normal pulse rate and then compared it with the pulse rate after exercise (walking). We kept all other factors constant so as to study the effect of exercise on pulse rate. Introduction Our heart is a muscle. It’s located a little to the left of the middle of our chest‚ and it’s about the size of our fist. There are lots of muscles all over
