description: People often must decide how long to continue waiting for rewards that will arrive at an uncertain time in the future. We propose that people approach these persistence decisions by trading off the benefits of continued waiting against opportunity costs of waiting, the balance of which can dynamically change as they wait. This proposal suggests that persistence decisions share neural mechanisms with foraging decisions, which also involve an ongoing comparison between a current resource and possible alternatives. Dopamine and serotonin have been proposed to play opposing roles in foraging, with dopamine promoting exploration and serotonin promoting exploitation. Here we investigate their roles in persistence. In this within-subjects, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in young adults, we will examine the effects on persistence of increasing dopamine with levodopa and increasing serotonin with escitalopram. Consistent with the proposed roles of dopamine and serotonin in foraging, we expect that levodopa will decrease patience and escitalopram will increase it.

description: Abstract. The aim of this work is to divulge the evolution of the contemporary labour and social history written in France through the analysis of its most outstanding scientific publication: Le Mouvement Social. In 1960, the Labour history magazine and bulletin of the Institut Français d´Histoire Sociale, L´Actualité de l´Histoire, gave way to Le Mouvement Social which along four decades has become a main object to know the contemporary French history. Guided by prestigious historians and following the rhythm of the social changes, its chronological frame has enlarged to the histoire du temps présent, its study space has left the French frontiers to the whole planet and its thematic, has gone further the labour movement history, helping in a decisive way with the creation of the present day French social history. Key words: Historiography, Labour Movement History, Labour History, Social History, Histoire du temps présent. Resumen. El presente artículo muestra la evolución de la historia obrera y social contemporánea escrita en Francia a través del análisis de la publicación que, a lo largo de más de cuatro décadas, se ha convertido en su principal referente: Le Mouvement Social. En 1960, la revista de historia del movimiento obrero y boletín del Institut Français d´Histoire Sociale, L´Actualité de l´Histoire, dejaba paso a Le Mouvement Social. De la mano de prestigiosos historiadores, y al ritmo de los cambios sociales e historiográficos, su marco cronológico se ha ampliado a la histoire du temps présent, su espacio de estudio ha trascendido las fronteras francesas extendiéndose a todo el planeta, y su temática ha ido más allá de la historia del movimiento obrero, colaborando de forma decisiva en la configuración de la actual historia social francesa. Palabras clave: historiografía, historia del movimiento obrero, historia obrera, historia social, histoire du temps présent.

description: The militant legacy weighed on the labour movement history for a long time. In spite of that, from the middle of the 20th century, new projects arose which allowed it to enter into the university giving the means for investigation, intention of objectivity and legitimacy as the official owner of the knowledge. In the way, the transformations of the French society and its historiography influenced the evolution of the labour history which increased the relations with other social sciences and which fastened its investigations about the labour world as a whole. The interest of the social history was enlarged to the whole society. La herencia militante pesó largo tiempo sobre la historia del movimiento obrero. Sin embargo, a partir de mediados del siglo XX, surgieron diferentes proyectos que permitieron que ésta penetrara en la Universidad, institución que, como detentadora oficial del conocimiento, proporcionaba medios para la investigación, pretensión de objetividad y legitimidad. En el camino, las transformaciones de la sociedad francesa y de su historiografía incidieron en la evolución de la historia del movimiento obrero y en el desarrollo de la historia obrera que aumentó sus relaciones con otras ciencias sociales y afianzó sus investigaciones sobre el conjunto del mundo obrero. Por su parte, la historia social extendió su interés al conjunto de la sociedad.

description: The fundamental phenomenon which makes transmission unreliable is time varying fading which is the constructive/destructive interference between signals arriving at the same antenna via different paths, and hence with different delays and phases, resulting in random fluctuations of the signal level at the receiver. This paper investigates Rake receiver method of combating fading. The rake receiver uses a combination of correlators to separately detect M strongest multipath components, code generators, and delays, or “fingers”, to spread out the individual echo signals of the multipath. Each correlator has two inputs: received signal and a spreading sequence with certain offset. The outputs of each correlator are weighted to provide better estimate of the transmitted signal than is provided by a single component. The performance of the technique is evaluated using Bit Error Rate (BER), Error count and Sample count. The result shows a high level of accuracy.

title: A critical evaluation of criteria-based assessment of subject knowledge and other competencies of teachers in training
Creators: name: Tynan, R
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis draws together a portfolio of nine peer reviewed papers investigating the assessment of teacher competencies. Earlier papers studied the effectiveness of a particular model for delivering a subject knowledge enhancement course in creating new physical science teachers from those without chemistry or physics first degrees. This programme was attended, year-long, full-time and higher education accredited. Later papers widened the scope to include the assessment of teacher subject knowledge and other competencies in a range of school subjects in the English education system. The portfolio adopted a mixed methods approach with an emphasis on quantitative analysis. In considering the body of research, a critical realism perspective was adopted to describe and interpret the findings in terms of many demonstrable phenomena concerned with assessment as an event. An underlying mechanism is proposed to explain these in terms of the assessment behaviours of teacher practitioners who also act as teacher educator practitioners and may experience role conflict: conflicted role, professional judgement. This approach locates the portfolio’s contribution to new knowledge against pre-existing work, makes clear unifying and coherent themes and establishes the papers’ individual and combined methodological rigour. The research has great local utility in initial teacher education in England. It also demonstrated issues with criteria-based assessment of teaching described through competencies and the problems with adopting number grades to aid quality assurance and accountability. Findings have relevance and may be applicable to all similar assessment systems in any profession.

description: Abstract: This article shows the development of French and Spanish social labour historiography, in the hope that the study of them together will lead to better understanding of both. They went their separate ways in the 1940s because of Franco’s dictatorship. In the 1960s, French social historiography was already well established in the universities there. Meanwhile, Spanish social history was being written about mainly from exile and was only beginning to take its first faltering steps in the universities. Its real progress was to take place later. In this process, its parallels and differences with French historiography were to be decisive.  Keywords: French and Spanish Social Labour Historiography. Resumen: este artículo muestra la evolución de la historiografía social obrera francesa y española, con la intención de que su estudio conjunto permita obtener una mejor comprensión de ambas. Sus trayectorias divergen profundamente desde los años cuarenta por imperativo de la Dictadura franquista. En los años sesenta, la francesa ya está asentada en la universidad y se consolida. Por entonces, la española se escribe principalmente desde el exilio y sólo de manera incipiente se desarrolla en la universidad. Su verdadero progreso se realiza posteriormente. En este proceso los encuentros y desencuentros con la historiografía francesa serán fundamentales.  Palabras clave: Historiografía social obrera francesa y española

description: Résumé: Aujourd'hui les historiens français pénètrent sans préjugé dans l´Histoire du Temps Présent. Cet article prétend faire connaître les premiers pas donnés dans cette direction au sein de l'historiographie ouvrière qui, en principe, a été montrée réticente à entrer dans son étude par le manque de perspective historique et l'impossibilité légale d'accéder aux archives. La crainte à la “chaleur des passions” éloignait aux historiens d'aller au-delà de la Grande Guerre. On craignait d'étudier dans des sujets comme le “Syndrome de Vichy” ou la Guerre de l'Algérie. Mais, propulsée par la nécessité de trouver des réponses pour les grands changements éprouvés par la société française, la Histoire du Temps Présent a triomphé. Ce succès a renforcé les avances de l'historiographie ouvrière et sociale dans l'étude du temps présent. Resumen: En la actualidad, los historiadores franceses penetran sin prejuicios en la Histoire du Temps Présent. Este artículo pretende mostrar los primeros pasos dados en esta dirección por la historiografía obrera que, en un principio, se mostró reacia a entrar en su estudio por la falta de perspectiva histórica y la imposibilidad legal de acceder a los archivos. El temor al “chaleur des passions” alejaba a los historiadores de ir más allá de la Gran Guerra. Se temía indagar en temas como el “Syndrome de Vichy” o la Guerra de Argelia. Sin embargo, impulsada por la necesidad de encontrar respuestas para los grandes cambios experimentados por la sociedad francesa, la Histoire du Temps Présent triunfó, éxito que afianzó los avances de la historiografía obrera y social en el estudio de este período.

description: The contamination levels of beauvericin and four enniatins, A, A1, B and B1, in 207 samples of wheat flour and corn grits on the Japanese market were determined by an analytical method based on LC-MS/MS. The toxins were extracted from samples with acetonitrile–water (85:15, v/v) and then purified with C18 cartridges. The method was validated in a single laboratory using spiked samples at two levels; the recovery of the five toxins ranged from 91.1% to 113.8%. Enniatin B was frequently detected in imported wheat flour (81.8%) and domestic wheat flour (85.6%), and the highest concentration of enniatin B was present in a domestic wheat sample (633 μg kg−1). In corn grits, beauvericin was found in 34% of the samples, but enniatins were not detected at all. The maximum concentration of beauvericin in corn grits was 26.1 μg kg−1. Deoxynivalenol and nivalenol in the same samples were determined by a method using an immunoaffinity column. Co-contamination of deoxynivalenol and enniatins was observed in 61% of the imported wheat samples and in 58% of the domestic wheat samples. These results suggest the need for a risk assessment for cyclic depsipeptide mycotoxins in Japan and a study on the synergistic effect of deoxynivalenol and enniatins.

description: Abstract. Spanish historiography has dealt almost exclusively with the figure of Isidro Gomá as the Primate of the Church in Spain, an office in which he supported and legitimised for the benefit of the Catholic world the rebellion of 18 July 1936 that triggered the Civil War. However, little is known of Gomá’s activity prior to attaining such an elevated post. So this article examines, through primary sources, his work as Bishop of the diocese of Tarazona and Tudela, where he believed that his vehement opposition to secular reforms would make him an example to follow among the extremist anti-republican sectors of the Church; he also hoped this would make him an ideal candidate for the Holy See, in favour of reinfor-cing its position against the Republic because of the Reformist Biennium, to turn to when it came to deciding whom to place at the head of the Church in Spain. Keywords: the Second Spanish Republic, the Catholic Church, Isidro Gomá, secularism, clericalism. Resumen. La historiografía española ha estado interesada en la figura de Isidro Gomá exclusiva-mente como Primado de la Iglesia, cargo desde el cual apoyó y legitimó ante el orbe cató-lico la sublevación del 18 de julio de 1936 que dio origen a la Guerra Civil. Sin embargo, la actividad de Gomá en los años previos a alcanzar tan alto cargo es poco conocida. Este artículo estudia, a través de fuentes primarias, su labor al frente de la diócesis de Tarazona y Tudela en el convencimiento de que su contundente oposición a las reformas laicistas le convirtieron en un referente para los sectores integristas y antirrepublicanos de la Iglesia y en un candidato idóneo al que la Santa Sede, partidaria de endurecer su posición frente a la República a raíz de la experiencia del Bienio Reformista, recurrió cuando tuvo que decidir a quién debía situar al frente de la Iglesia de España. Palabras clave: Segunda República española, Iglesia Católica, Isidro Gomá, laicismo, clericalismo.

description: A finales de los años sesenta, al calor del triunfo del estructuralismo y la revisión del marxismo por Althusser, un grupo de historiadores franceses desarrolló una serie de investigaciones en las que se procedió, desde un enfoque lingüístico, a una nueva lectura de los textos históricos. Con el deseo de favorecer el conocimiento mutuo entre las diferentes ciencias sociales, el presente trabajo pretende dar a conocer los trabajos de los historiadores que, principalmente desde la Universidad de Paris X-Nanterre, se embarcaron en esta aventura interdisciplinar que aplicó métodos del lenguaje al estudio histórico. Régine Robin (Histoire et Linguistique, 1973), fue una pionera en este campo. El método consistió en seleccionar un corpus y, sobre él, aplicar los procedimientos tomados de la lingüística estructural. Los discursos del periodo prerrevolucionario o el vocabulario de las familias políticas en Francia a fines del siglo XIX fueron algunos de los temas estudiados.	 À la fin des années soixante, à l´abri du triomphe du structuralisme et la révision du marxisme par Althusser, un groupe d´historiens français développe une série de recherches qui ait été étudiées d´un point de vue linguistique donnant lieu à une nouvelle lecture des textes historiques, dès une optique linguistique, a une nouvelle lecture des textes historiques.

description: Personal financial management is undeniably a worthwhile practice to establish financial security during a struggling economy and make intelligent monetary decisions regardless of the plethora of spending temptations. Monitoring personal cash flow is part of achieving financial independence, and it is now undemanding to perform because of the available personal budget apps and finance tools. Nevertheless, a missing feature of these technology-driven innovations is the recording, tracking, and monitoring of receipts as well as the generation of personal expenses reports based on these collected pieces of paper. With this application, “Mobile Bookkeeper”, financial enthusiasts can just scan the receipt using the inbuilt camera of any smartphone and details will be automatically transcribed using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). To measure the satisfaction and test the usability of the mobile app, subjective and objective measures via ISO 25062 and ISO 9241 standards were collected, and QUIS 7.0 questionnaire, respectively. The testing results established Mobile Bookkeeper particularly on its receipt scanner feature as a needed mobile finance app. Together with this acceptance is the report highlighting issues and challenges in developing such a mobile application, especially with OCR integration and its accuracy in text recognition

description: This paper identifies the negative consequences of the strongest tropical storm ever to strike Guatemala on household welfare. Per capita consumption fell in urban areas, raising poverty substantially. Households cut back on food consumption and basic durables, and attempted to cope by increasing their adult and child labour supply. The mechanisms at play include the intensity of the shock, food prices and the timing of Agatha with respect to local harvest cycles. The results are robust to placebo treatments, migration and measurement error, and partly explain the increase in poverty in the country previously attributed solely to the collateral effects of the global financial crisis.

description: Lateralized behaviours are widespread in both vertebrates and invertebrates, suggesting that lateralization is advantageous. Yet, evidence demonstrating proximate or ultimate advantages remains scarce, particularly in invertebrates or in species with individual-level lateralization. Desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) are biased in the forelimb they use to perform targeted reaching across a gap. The forelimb and strength of this bias differed among individuals, indicative of individual-level lateralization. Here we show that strongly biased locusts perform better during gap-crossing, making fewer errors with their preferred forelimb. The number of targeting errors locusts make negatively correlates with the strength of forelimb lateralization. This provides evidence that stronger lateralization confers an advantage in terms of improved motor control in an invertebrate with individual-level lateralization.

description: A novel is at least a new world, or a new understanding of it. Is it possible to present the new world with old words? Or it requires new words. If the existing social structure (ethos) and concept of reality (world view) is to be changed, then mere wording does not work, one has to do experiments of form. Then, in a post-colonial society, it is difficult to bear the burden of history and to mark the form of error implicit in its construction, without a new understanding of history. In Mirza Athar Baig's novel, Ghulam Bagh, word-making and formal experiments come out as prominent features. This novel is a dilemma of the characters trying to understand the reality and determine their status in the post-colonial situation. This article using the tools of close reading, explores the formal innovations of Ghulam Bagh.

description: Before Tina Fey created Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Mr. Mayor and wrote the Mean Girls oeuvre, she was a cast member and writer for Saturday Night Live. A study of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Mean Girls, and Mr. Mayor revealed that Fey's works included a number of portrayals of self-sexualized teens. In other words, Fey's teens freely and openly engaged in alluring sexual activity. For example, 16-year-old Karen of Mean Girls had consensual sex with eleven different partners. When Karen was 13, she sexted nudes to a boy, which were posted on Amateurtweens.com. And Karen wore skirts that barely covered her "perky" heinie. What follows is a study of Fey's portrayal of self-sexualized teens.

description: In Germany, black locust has been classified as an invasive species by nature conservation. On the other hand, it is considered robust to climate change, copes with dry, nutrient-poor soils and has a particularly hard wood. In this conflict, we try to work out problems and opportunities for both nature conservation and forestry with a risk map. Based on dry biotopes valuable for nature conservation as a protected good, we derive zones in which the spread of black locust is problematic. From a distance of 500 m or more between dry biotopes and black locust occurrences, however, we see no threat to nature conservation areas.

description: This paper proposes and discusses the standardization of files that contain reference information for research software: CITATION files. While some research software provides files with information on how to reference the software for the purposes of citation, these files vary enormously in their syntax, format, contents, names and extensions. A standardization of CITATION files could boost the visibility of the contained information through machine-readability, and consequently possibilities for re-use. A standardization that would preserve human-readability at the same time would provide a compromise between free form text files and more elaborate systems for transitive credit.

description: After  the Second World  War,  with  the support of the  French government (albeit external),  the private  Institut   Français  d'Histoire   Sociale  ,  was  created in 1949,  with  the aim  of gathering the scattered working  class  archives and  of using them to write  the history of the working  class  movement.  In  order to publicize  this  initiative,  the  IFHS published  in  1951  its  own bulletin  called L'Actualité  de  l'Histoire.  Alongside  the  history  the  working  class movement, appeared a  new  emphasis  on social history. An  impressive  team lay behind  this project, but it  was  Jean  Maitron  ( historian and militant,  like  most of the authors embarking on this adventure )  who provided  the impulse. These were difficult  years but also years of enthusiasm. In  I960   L'Actualité  de l'Histoire  became Le Mouvement  Social.  KEY WORDS:      Working  class  movement.

Social  history.  Tras  la  Segunda  Guerra  Mundial,   con el apoyo de  la  administración francesa, pero desde fuera  de ella,  se crea, en  1949,  una  institución privada,   el  Institut  Français  d'Histoire  Sociale,  con la finalidad   de recoger  los  archivos obreros  dis-persos y,  a partir  de ellos,  escribir la historia del movimiento  obrero.  Para dar a co-nocer  esta labor, el IFHS publica,  desde 1951,  su propio boletín, L'Actualité  de  l'Histoire. Junto  a la.historia del movimiento  obrero,  materia privilegiada por esta publicación, aparece una  nueva temática que se abre paso en dirección a  la historia social. Hay  todo un  equipo  detrás de este proyecto, pero es Jean  Maitron,  historia-dor y  militante  —cualidad  que reúnen la mayoría de los autores que emprenden  es-ta  aventura—,  quien  lo impulsa.  Son años difíciles,  pero también  entusiastas. En I960,   L'Actualité  de l'Histoire  se convierte en Le Mouvement  Social.
Associations between illness perceptions, self-criticism, self-reassurance and recovery outcomes following traumatic brain injury
Creators: name: Prescott, Lindsay
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Section one presents a systematic literature review examining the relationship between injury perceptions and persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS), quality of life (QoL) and psychological distress outcomes in individuals following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Four databases were systematically searched using key words and thesaurus terms related to the concepts noted above. 12 papers were included in the final review. Findings suggest that the attribution of m re symptoms to the TBI, a perception that symptoms will last a long time, have more negative consequences and a stronger emotional reaction to the TBI, are more likely to be associated with increased PPCS. The identity, timeline, consequences, concern, emotional representations and personal control subscales were significantly associated with QoL outcomes following TBI. Longitudinal studies emphasise the predictive ability of injury perceptions following TBI which gives attention to the role of clinical psychology in acute management and follow-up of those who have suffered a TBI. Clinical implications and limitations of the review are discussed. Section two reports on an empirical investigation into the relationship between selfcriticism and both symptomatic (PPCS) and post-TBI depression in a sample of 41 adults who sustained a mild to moderate TBI between 3 and 12 months previous. Significant moderate effect size correlations between both self-criticism and self-reassurance with each of the outcomes assessed (early onset PPCS, late-enduring PPCS and post-TBI depression) were found. A series of multiple regression analyses evidenced that self-criticism demonstrated significant predictive ability above previously known predictors for enduring PPCS and also post-TBI depression. Self-reassurance did not demonstrate predictive ability. Limitations and clinical implications are discussed and include the relevance of self-criticism to both preventative and therapeutic intervention for individuals following TBI. Section three includes a critical appraisal of the thesis and processes involved in undertaking the above two research papers.

description: Insider trading, a practice wherein individuals exploit non-public information to gain advantage in securities trading, poses significant challenges to market integrity and investor confidence. India, like many jurisdictions, has implemented regulatory frameworks to curb such practices, with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) playing a pivotal role. This paper critically evaluates the effectiveness of SEBI's regulatory measures, focusing on the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulation,  2015. The study begins by providing an overview of the regulatory landscape surrounding insider trading in India, highlighting the historical development and the specific provisions outlined in the SEBI regulations. Through a thorough examination of the regulatory framework and key provisions, this paper identifies strengths and weaknesses in the current system. While SEBI's regulations aim to deter insider trading and ensure fairness and transparency in the market, challenges persist in enforcement and implementation.
Spatial Study of Iqbal’s Urdu Poetry اقبال کی مکانیت: تجزیہ کلامِ اردو

subject: Nationalism in art

description: It is almost half a century ago, when spatial turn took place in humanities in western theory. Exploring the spatiality and mapping out the landscapes of literature and literary production has been on the go since. But spatiality and mapping could not attract the attention of Urdu research and literary analysis. Iqbal, the national poet of Pakistan, who remains always in literary, political and everyday discussions, has never been, to the best of my knowledge, studied spatially. This article uses the methods of geocriticism and maps out the space and places in Urdu poetry of Iqbal. By analyzing the quantitative data of places referenced in Iqbal’s poetry, this study aims to delineate his mental geography. The historical contexts of these places within the Urdu literary world are examined to understand their evolution. This study demonstrates how Iqbal utilized places to evoke the past, comprehend the present, and situate the Islamic public.

description: Two new manganese thioarsenates(V) [Mn(Hen)2(AsS4)2]·2(Hen) (1, en = ethylenediamine) and β-{[Mn(dien)2][Mn2(dien)2(AsS4)2] (2, dien = diethyleneamine) have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 contains [Mn(Hen)2(AsS4)2]2− built from two [AsS4]3− anions bound to [Mn(Hen)2]4+, and two protonated Hen+ cations, which provide a rare example of monoprotonated ethylenediamine as monodentate ligand within chalcogenidoarsenates. 2 contains two conformations of a [Mn2(dien)2(AsS4)2]2− cluster constructed from two [Mn(dien)]2+ groups bridged by two μ-[AsS4]3− anions and charge compensating complex cations [Mn(dien)2]2+. Their optical properties have been characterized by UV–vis spectra and the theoretical band structure of 1 has also been studied.

description: This book provides an introduction to the theory and application of measurement in education and psychology. Topics include test development, item writing, item analysis, reliability, dimensionality, and item response theory. These topics come together in overviews of validity and, finally, test evaluation. Validity and test evaluation are based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the properties of a measure. This book addresses the qualitative side using a simple argument-based approach. The quantitative side is addressed using descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, all of which are presented and visualized within the statistical environment R. The intended audience for this book includes advanced undergraduate and graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and educators. Knowledge of R is not a prerequisite to using this book. However, familiarity with data analysis and introductory statistics concepts, especially ones used in the social sciences, is recommended.
description: Το βιβλίο αυτό αποτελεί μια εισαγωγή στη θεωρία και στις εφαρμογές της μέτρησης στην εκπαίδευση και την ψυχολογία. Οι θεματικές που καλύπτει περιλαμβάνουν την ανάπτυξη δοκιμασιών, τη διατύπωση στοιχείων, την ανάλυση απόκρισης στοιχείου, την αξιοπιστία, την ανάλυση παραγόντων και τη θεωρία απόκρισης στοιχείου. Οι θεματικές αυτές συγκλίνουν μεταξύ τους στην έννοια της εγκυρότητας και στην αξιολόγηση της ποιότητας των δοκιμασιών. Η εγκυρότητα και η αξιολόγηση δοκιμασιών βασίζονται τόσο στην ποιοτική όσο και στην ποσοτική ανάλυση των χαρακτηριστικών μιας δοκιμασίας. Η ποιοτική πλευρά εξετάζεται μέσω μιας προσέγγισης βασισμένης σε επιχειρήματα. Η ποσοτική πλευρά εξετάζεται μέσω περιγραφικών και επαγωγικών στατιστικών αναλύσεων, οι οποίες παρουσιάζονται και οπτικοποιούνται, στο σύνολό τους, στο στατιστικό περιβάλλον της R. Το κοινό στο οποίο απευθύνεται αυτό το βιβλίο περιλαμβάνει προχωρημένους προπτυχιακούς και μεταπτυχιακούς φοιτητές, επαγγελματίες, ερευνητές και εκπαιδευτικούς. Η γνώση της R δεν αποτελεί προϋπόθεση για τη χρήση αυτού του βιβλίου. Ωστόσο, συνιστάται η εξοικείωση με την ανάλυση δεδομένων και τις εισαγωγικές έννοιες της στατιστικής, ιδίως αυτές που χρησιμοποιούνται στις κοινωνικές επιστήμες.
