The people of Israel Continue reading...

The linear correlation is a simplest form of association. There are some problem arises during the evolution of the two different data using the correlation, e.g., in nuclear power plant, there is a correlation between the radiation and cancer because people Continue reading...

William Faulkner once said that “the human heart in conflict with itself” is the only subject that is truly worth writing about.

Two more examples of such characters are Bernard Marx, from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Louise from Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Continue reading...

Single-subject designs are a research method that test for an independent variable in a small number of subjects, typically one. The method is thought to have originated from behavioral psychology and is preferred for experiments involving behavioral change or modification because the outcomes are tested periodically from the beginning of the experiment to the end. Single-subject designs include at least one phase where there is no treatment and one phase where there is treatment. The test subjects, therefore, act as their own control. Single-subject designs are relevant where behavioral change needs to be observed, as one can not only Continue reading...

Female leadership is closely related to gender equity. One should not see the female part, but rather the leadership part. A good leadership is not about participative style in consulting, discussing, cooperating, nor it is Continue reading...
