Collecting data for research and evaluation processes are often performed via experimental design. The notion and the methodology of modern experimental design were developed by Sir Ronald A. Fisher in 1935 in the “Design of experiments.” But the concept of experimental method (classical experimental design) was introduced much earlier by Galileo Galilei at the end of the XVIth century and later presented in the first half of the XVIIth century by René Descartes, in his book «Discours de la Méthode pour been conduire sa Maison et Chercher la vérité dans les sciences». In classical experimental design, investigators select few factors that they think could influence the response and then choose…

Synopsis The research paper analyzes the effectiveness of death penalty in preventing violent crimes. Using research from several nations including the US and Canada, it aims to arrive at an understanding of the deterrent effect of executions. This effect has been found to be negligent, a fact supported by several studies. Therefore, capital punishment was found to be ineffective, which gives extra reasons to demand its abolition. Introduction Deterrence of violent crimes is one of the chief arguments given in favor of death penalty. However, whether or not the presence of capital punishment in the penal code of a nation is capable of averting crimes remains debatable. However, a large…

Introduction This paper analyzes and discusses the issue of human reproduction and ethics as this point applies to nursing in Canada. To begin with, we have to note that ethics is being added to the nursing curriculum in Canada up and down the land: an hour on anatomy, an hour on physiology, an hour on ethics, an hour on wound management, an hour on pressure sores, and so on. What purpose does this serve? What difference does or can it make? Will it change the way nurses think about their work? Will it change it fundamentally? Will it improve nursing, making it more decent, more humane? Literature review The Encyclopedia…

INTRODUCTION The Cold War that divided the whole world into two camps could not leave Canada unaffected. The nation that was dragged into the Cold War politicking by the Gouzenko scandal remained supportive of the US policies throughout the period of the Cold War. Even so, occasional tensions and disagreements with the US did emerge, and Canada was able to preserve some autonomy in decision-making process. The nation belonged to the Western paradigm due to its location and capitalist economic system, and so could not betray the interests of its camp. The paper will seek to explore to what degree Canada was able to pursue its independent policies, while de…
