Sampling types-presentation-business researchHareesh M
This document discusses different sampling techniques used in research. It explains that sampling involves selecting a subset of a population to gather information about the whole population in a more efficient manner than a complete census. The key types of sampling discussed are probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, systematic sampling, and stratified sampling which aim to select representative samples, as well as non-probability methods like convenience sampling and snowball sampling which rely on availability and referrals. Factors that influence sample representativeness and potential sources of error in sampling are also outlined.

This document summarizes a book that examines the challenges of globalization for European higher education. The book argues that beneath the facade of convergence created by the Bologna Process, there is tension and risk of fragmentation. It uses case studies of countries in Eastern and Southeastern Europe to show how diversity, differentiation, and the concerns of peripheral regions are overlooked by policies made at the European center. The review finds that the book provides competing paradigms for understanding changes in European higher education and challenges the view that policies are shaped solely by economic forces. It concludes that the book offers a new perspective on supporting diversity within a framework of European cooperation.
ROLLING BACK THE ROLLBACK
- Spaces & strategies for reviving democracy and open societies in Europe –
Date: Monday, April 7, 2014
Time: 8:45 AM – 6 PM
Venue: CEU, Budapest, Nador 9, Faculty Tower, Auditorium
Recent events and developments in a number of European countries give rise to serious concerns about the stability of democracy in parts of the continent. Constitutional and other legal changes, a cut-down on freedom of the press as well as the freedom of association, challenges to the independence of the judiciary, xenophobia, anti-EU attitudes, low voter turnout, erosion of trust in government, and corruption -- all pose growing challenges to the prospects of open societies in Europe. These trends are addressed in a series of events organized by the School of Public Policy at CEU in cooperation with the Hertie School of Governance.
Based on a prior analysis of anti-democratic trends in Europe, the “Rolling Back The Rollback” Forum will examine possible responses to the rollback of democracy and open societies. How can some of the anti-democratic processes be reversed and how can further erosion of the foundations of open societies be prevented?
The morning panels will analyze drivers and dimensions of democratic rollback and the role and credibility of the EU as a guardian of democracy. Featured speakers include Franziska Brantner, Heather Grabbe, Bela Greskovits, Andras Jakab, Kati Marton, Jan Werner Mueller, Kim Lane Scheppele and G. M. Tamás.
The afternoon program will break away from conventional conference format and provide interactive forum space for young actors to discuss and debate novel approaches, spaces and strategies for ‘rolling back the rollback’, with, among others, a special focus on opportunities and limitations of new digital forms of mobilization and participation.
The forum will lay the foundations for policy formulation and dissemination. Its interdisciplinary approach and policy focus will result in recommendations on potential strategies for governments, local and international civil society and EU institutions.
This document summarizes a hearing held by the LSE Commission on the Future of Britain in Europe regarding the risks of Brexit for higher education and research. Experts from academia, research, and politics participated in the hearing. There was a discussion of the benefits the EU provides in stimulating collaboration and funding for research beyond what single countries can achieve alone. While the "remain" argument emphasized these EU benefits, the "leave" position focused on restoring national sovereignty but did not provide a plausible alternative to existing EU cooperation. Overall, Brexit could disrupt the extensive EU support networks that UK universities rely on for funding, student exchange programs, and research partnerships.

This document summarizes a report on Muslims living in 11 major cities across the European Union. It finds that Muslims present both challenges and opportunities for Europe as a culturally diverse population. Ensuring equal rights and inclusion for minorities like Muslims will test Europe's commitment to open societies. The At Home in Europe project aims to address these issues through advocacy and policy recommendations. It examines how public policies in cities have helped or hindered Muslims' social, economic and political participation. The city-level reports and this overview report make recommendations to improve Muslims' inclusion while preserving their cultural and religious identities.
This essay discusses the growing issue of water scarcity globally and its effects. Rising demand for water due to population growth, economic development, and changing diets is exacerbating water scarcity. Agriculture, industry, and energy production are the largest users of water. Climate change is projected to further reduce water availability in some areas through changing precipitation patterns and more extreme weather events. By 2050, around four billion people could live in water scarce areas. Water scarcity will have severe consequences, including lack of access to drinking water, increased spread of diseases, impacts on global food prices and economic growth, and increased risk of conflict and migration. Urgent action is needed to address this issue.
