The experiment would be established to determine the influence of the drug in reducing children's hyperactivity. With that, we can say that the independent variable would be the drug, and the dependent variable would be the reduction of hyperactivity.

To perform this experiment, a sample of 30 children diagnosed with hyperactivity would be established. These children would be divided into groups containing 3 children. Each group would be composed of children of the same age, but children in one group would be different in age from children in another group.

In each group, two children would receive a recommended dose of medication, while the other child would receive a dose of placebo (they would receive a dose of other material, which is not the medication and has no effect on the body). The child who received the placebo would be the control. Neither children nor parents would know who is receiving the placebo and who is receiving the medication.

The experiment would last for 3 months and it would be necessary for parents to note the changes in their children's hyperactive behaviors, if any.

The evaluation of the result would be done by comparing the notes of the parents in each group of children. It would be noted if there were significant differences between the behavior of the children who received the medication and those who did not, in each group. Then an assessment would be made, which group had the most significant behavioral differences, to assess whether the drug is more efficient at a given age.

How did some students and tutors find shortcuts to learning? How did the Chinese government react to these shortcuts?
Nuetrik [128]

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Chinese Civil Service Exam System” by Ichisada Miyazaki.

In this text, we learn that the Chinese civil service examination system originated in Ancient China nearly fourteen hundred years ago. Therefore, it is one of the oldest examination systems in the world.

The system was intended to identify the most capable young men in China, and educate them so that they might become part of the government. However, this was a long, difficult and tedious process, and many students and tutors found useful shortcuts to learning. For example, rapid-study methods were devised, such as compiled collections of examination answers.

The Chinese government was aware of such methods, which were strongly condemned. Students who employed them were failed. The government also issued frequent prohibitions of the publication of such materials. However, the success of the business meant that such prohibitions were often unsuccessful.

How does David Smith support his claim that ""All cities today are world cities?""
stepladder [879]

Answer:

There is some truth to the claim that, "All cities today are world cities". All the emerging cities of Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia are linked to the global economy and, particularly, to the network of world cities, in a variety of ways. But it is also clear that various metropolises fit into the world urban hierarchy at different levels and play very distinctive roles in that wider system. Analysis of urban systems, whether global, national, or regional, from the perspective of geography or sociology, using the old human ecological framework or the newer urban political economy approach, emphasizes power and dominance. Furthermore, one of the key advantages of identifying where places fit into positions in these systems, is that "structural isomorphism" will lead to similar roles. In other words, if two cites are at or about the same level in the  urban hierarchy, we should logically expect them to follow broadly similar dynamics. In the 1970s and 1980s, at a time when the neo-Marxist world-system scholarship was blossoming, an "urbanization in the world-economy" approach emerged. This perspective took its initial impetus from Manuel Castells’ suggestion that we should consider the growth of third world cities as “dependent urbanization.
