Voluntary Association
A voluntary group or union (also sometimes called a voluntary organization, common-interest association, association, or society) is a group of individuals who enter into an agreement, usually as volunteers, to form a body (or organization) to accomplish a purpose. Common examples include trade associations, trade unions, learned societies, professional associations, and environmental groups. All such associations reflect freedom of association in ultimate terms (members may choose whether to join or leave), although membership is not necessarily voluntary in the sense that one's employment may effectively require it via occupational closure. For example, in order for particular associations to function effectively, they might need to be mandatory or at least strongly encouraged, as is true of trade unions. Because of this, some people prefer the term common-interest association to describe groups which form out of a common interest, although this term is not widely used or ...

Association (psychology)
Association in psychology refers to a mental connection between concepts, events, or mental states that usually stems from specific experiences.Klein, Stephen (2012). ''Learning: Principles and Applications'' (6 ed.). SAGE Publications. . Associations are seen throughout several schools of thought in psychology including behaviorism, associationism, psychoanalysis, social psychology, and structuralism. The idea stems from Plato and Aristotle, especially with regard to the succession of memories, and it was carried on by philosophers such as John Locke, David Hume, David Hartley (philosopher), David Hartley, and James Mill.Boring, E. G. (1950). It finds its place in modern psychology in such areas as memory, learning, and the study of neural pathways. Learned associations Associative learning is when a subject creates a relationship between stimuli (e.g. auditory or visual) or behavior and the original stimulus. The higher the concreteness of stimulus items, the more likely ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Genetic Association
Genetic association is when one or more genotypes within a population co-occur with a phenotype, phenotypic trait association (statistics), more often than would be expected by chance occurrence. Studies of genetic association aim to test whether single-locus alleles or genotype frequencies or more generally, multilocus haplotype frequencies differ between two groups of individuals (usually treatment and control groups, diseased subjects and healthy controls). Genetic association studies are based on the principle that genotypes can be compared "directly", i.e. with the sequences of the actual genomes or exomes via whole genome sequencing or exome sequencing, whole exome sequencing. Before 2010, DNA sequencing methods were used. Description Genetic association can be between phenotypes, such as visible characteristics such as flower color or height, between a phenotype and a genetic polymorphism, such as a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), or between two genetic polymorphism ...

File Association
In computing, a file association associates a file with an application capable of opening that file. More commonly, a file association associates a class of files (usually determined by their filename extension, such as .txt) with a corresponding application (such as a text editor). Associations and verbs A single file extension may have several associations for performing various actions, also known as verbs. Some of the common verbs are: * ''open'' to open a file * ''edit'' to open a file for editing * ''print'' to print a file A picture, for example, may be associated with these words so that ''open'' opens the picture in an image viewer, ''edit'' opens up an image editing program and ''print'' sends the picture to a printer. Implementations Most operating systems support file associations in some form or the other. For example, opening a file from a file manager usually invokes the ''open'' verb in order to open the file with its associated application. The "open" verb invoke ...

Association (object-oriented Programming)
In object-oriented programming, association defines a relationship between classes of objects that allows one object instance to cause another to perform an action on its behalf. This relationship is structural, because it specifies that objects of one kind are connected to objects of another and does not represent behaviour. In generic terms, the causation is usually called "sending a message", "invoking a method" or "calling a member function" to the controlled object. Concrete implementation usually requires the requesting object to invoke a ''method'' or ''member function'' using a reference or pointer to the memory location of the controlled object. The objects that are related via the association are considered to act in a role A role (also rôle or social role) is a set of connected behaviors, rights, obligations, beliefs, and norms as conceptualized by people in a social situation. It is an expected or free or continuously changing behavior and may have a given i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
