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.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The use of improved plant hybrids and agricultural chemicals

Explanation:

According to history, India witnesses a huge surge in the the amount of wheat produced in the country between 1950 - 1990 ; This surge in production has made wheat the main cereal crop in the country with about 30 million of hectares of land being used to cultivate the cereal crop as of today. The huge surge over the 40 year period whereby production more than doubled could be attributed to the advancement and upgrade in the crop type and agricultural chemicals being adopted. These hybrid crops germinated faster and produced good yield which boasted more production and drove revenue to better height.

Match the following terms with the correct example:
Sav [38]

Answer:

1. Farmers markets ⇒ Local Food Movements

Local food movements aim to connect consumers and farmers of the same locality such that the local economy grows, consumers get fresh food and the farmers get to sell their produce. Farmers markets are a broad feature of these movements.  

2. Free range chickens ⇒ Value-added speciality crops, organic farming.

Free range chickens are allowed to graze for themselves instead of being fed industrial food. This means that they were farmed organically.  

3. Food subscription services ⇒ Community-supported Agriculture.

Community-supported agriculture works by connecting consumers and farmers such that the consumers can subscribe to the farmer's harvest.  

4. People not having a  grocery store near them to get fresh food ⇒ Food Desert.

As the term implies, a people in a food desert will be unable to get fresh food in their area because much like a desert which lacks certain resources, their area lacks food.  

5. Growing plants on a rooftop in the city ⇒ Urban Farming.

Some people have taken to urban farming where they farm in the cities and towns. As these areas do not have enough areas to farm, people have had to improvise and rooftop farming is one of the ways they did.  

6. When coffee plantation workers in LDCs get more money for their coffee products in better working hours/conditions ⇒ Fair Trade.

Farmers getting paid the right or close to the right wages for the work they put in especially from Less Developed Countries (LDC) means they are getting a fair trade because they are receiving enough or close to enough compensation for their work.
