Motivation is having a reason or reasons to act/behave in a particular way. It creates “drive” in people whether it is in pursuit of a goal, or the need to complete an activity. It produces enthusiasm and a willingness to achieve in both a work environment and in your personal life. Motivation can be increased and decreased in line with the incentives on offer.

Safeguarding is a term which is broader than ‘child protection’ and relates to the action the commission takes to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

Since 1400 to 1700, the population of the world has seen three periods that affect them; the renaissance period, the baroque period and the Rococo period. Each period has a different kind of paintings, a different kind of art, and a different way to affect the society.

As mentioned by Calloway in the beginning of the “Documents” section, it is important to consider that historians often disregard stories due to their lack of understanding and that these stories can provide insight into the lives of individuals who lived through certain times in history. As pointed out by Leslie Marmon Silko, origin stories should not be taken as fact. I think that viewpoint supports the idea of possible migrations.

Different retailing businesses have very different distribution methods based on the types of product that they sell, some arguably more effectively than others.

Quantitative data can be described as measurable factual and accurate data, i.e. sales, volumes and costs. Can be developed with historic records. Quantative data is more objective rather than subjective focusing on key issues.

The investigation is shown to be valid as it incorporates the use of proper equipment and the investigation correctly tests the hypothesis. The use of proper equipment determines the validity of the investigation, due to the fact that the correct equipment ensures the appropriate units of measurements, for example the use of a ruler as the appropriate instrument to measure the length of the dependent variable. The experiment was also valid as the investigation had measured what it had intended to measure which was testing whether the Home-brand paper towels are more absorbent than the Kleenex Viva paper towels, the procedure presented actually did test the hypothesis by comparing the absorbance of the paper towels.

If one of your drains is clogged, and you don’t have any chemical drain cleaner on hand and are not able to go to the store to get anymore, here are a few easy ways you can unclog your drain using items you probably have around your home.

In recent times, there have been three individuals who have provided their interpretations on that structures of science. Thomas Kuhn developed the idea of paradigms, which are nested concepts for looking at the world, and later would propose the idea paradigm shifts for what he called the Kuhn Cycle. Following Kuhn's work, Imre Lakatos and Larry Laudan created their own analysis on scientific structures using Kuhn's work as a base for their own. Lakatos and Laudan both attempted to rationalize and improve on Kuhn's work. In this essay, I will attempt to analyze the differences in Kuhn's work as compared to Lakatos and Laudan and explain which account of scientific structures is the most persuasive to believe in.

Science surrounds just about every aspect of human interaction but where does this scientific knowledge come from? The communication of scientific knowledge trickles in a fashion opposite to that of the filtration of water through a carbon scrubber, where the highest concentration of pure scientific knowledge exists within the prestigious community of scientists and scientific knowledge within the academic and public communities has to be filtered from the other particles of ideas, leaving much room for interpretation. This paper will explore these different interactions among various communities and how it shapes communication of scientific knowledge.

The ideas of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity have been widely applied to the relationship between sciences. This article is an attempt to discuss the reasons why scien- tific interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity pose specific problems. First of all, certain questions about terminology are taken into account in order to clarify the meaning of the word ‘discipline’ and its cognates. Secondly, we argue that the specificity of sciences does not lie in becoming disciplines. Then, we focus on the relationship between sciences, and between sciences and technologies: we argue that multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinar- ity are a common practice among strict sciences and technologies. Finally, we discuss the different meanings

Interestingly, recent investigations revealed that the Comtean hierarchy would be grounded empirically, shedding light on the fact that the sciences do differ, perhaps along the lines suggested two hundreds years ago by Comte (Simonton, 2004; Fanelli & Glänzel, 2010; 2013). After examining in empirical studies a series of indicators – to state a few, citation immediacy, article length, title length, shared references, use of graphs, anticipation frequency, average age at receiving Nobel prize, lecture disfluency – Balietti, Mäs & Helbing (2015, p. 22-23) reported significant differences across the different sciences. Those differences not only depict the level of fragmentation of the sciences according to their level of complexity, but they also neatly mirror the classification of the sciences described by Comte. Cole (1983) had not found evidence in empirical studies in support of the existence of the Comtean hierarchy up until he proposed to differentiate between two classes of knowledge, designated as core (the starting point for graduate education where sciences are better distinguished from one another) and the research frontier (all research currently being conducted) as shown in figure 3. The data demonstrates that at the research frontier, we cannot systematically distinguish between sciences at the top and at the bottom of the hierarchy: "all sciences knowledge at the research frontier is a loosely woven web" (p. 111). This critical observation will be factored

The issue of categorizing fields of academia truly “scientific” is invariably complex, leading to much debate. Matters such as defining what Science actually is, how to judge what can satisfy such a definition and the importance of beneficial discoveries all lead to further unsolved arguments which must be understood in order to make any kind of judgment. For economics, there is the argument that broad assumptions lead to imprecise data, that any tests are fundamentally flawed by their un-replicable nature, and that with so much dependant on human behavior, there can never be finite conclusions. Conversely these points are argued down, with justification of how they do indeed fulfill
