Social statistics is the use of statistical measurement tools to study human/social behavior in a social environment. This can be accomplished through drawing a particular group of people, evaluating a particular subset of data obtained about a group of people, or by observation and statistical analysis of a set of data that relates to people and their behaviours.

This module seeks to highlight various elements of research including preparation of proposals, literature review, theorizing, and conceptualization of research models, research questions, hypothesis, objectives, justifications, research premises, scope, limitations, methodologies, and techniques of data collection, fieldwork requirements, instruments of research analysis and report writing and ethics of social research.

This lecture seeks to introduce you to the understanding of criminology and criminal behavior. This lecture will also seek to outline the roles of criminal psychologists.

The word “philosophy” comes from the Greek word (philosophia), which literary means “love of wisdom” The word 'philosophy' is derived from the combination of two ancient Greek words; 'philos', which means 'love', and 'sophia', which means 'wisdom'. It etymologically means love of wisdom.

There are a number of characteristics that a good speaker exhibits. No one is born a good speaker but we can continually improve our skills. We need to keep assessing ourselves and identifying areas we should work on.

In physics we deal with physical quantities which are usually quantified by measuring. The process of measuring involves assigning a number to a physical quantity by comparing it with a standard. The standard quantity is called unit and used to measure the given physical quantity.

Recognition is a product of fashion, not because of the visible characteristics, but because those who are able to sustain the rapid change of fashion set themselves apart from others by showing they “belong”

Costume; A style of clothes belonging to a particular cultural or historical concepts and is often used to refer to ethnic or historical clothing as well as those constructed for special rituals e.g. theatre, drama, etc.

Merchandising; The planning required to have the right merchandise at the right time, in the right place, in the right quantities and at the right price for specified target group(s) of consumers.

Throughout history man has always created, used and preserved textiles. Thus, textiles have been part of man’s life from time immemorial. This course explores textile conservation and issues related to conservation such as preserving, cleaning, repairing and laundering, which includes traditional and modern methods.

The Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is defined as a list of brief descriptions and estimated quantities. The quantities are defined as estimated because they are subject to a measurement and are not expected to be totally accurate due to the unknown factors which occur in design work.

Normative philosophy of sexuality inquires about the value of sexual activity and sexual pleasure and of the various forms they take. Thus the philosophy of sexuality is concerned with the perennial questions of sexual morality and constitutes a large branch of applied ethics.

Basic machine tools are the machines that are used for general purpose metal cutting operations within their range and these include engine lathe machine, drilling lathe machine, shapers lathe machine, milling machines, grinder lathe machine and power hacksaws lathe machine, Planer lathe machine, Sloter lathe machine etc.

Cutting tools- various types of single point cutting tools and their uses, single point cutting too geometry, tool signature and its effect, heat produced during cutting and its effect, cutting speed, feed and depth of cut and their effect.

A DBMS is a software that allows creation, definition and manipulation of database. Dbms is actualy a tool used to perform any kind of operation on data in database. Dbms also provides protection and security to database. It maintains data consistency in case of multiple users. Here are some examples of popular dbms, MySql, Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft Access and IBM DB2 etc.

Health promotion aims to help people to live healthy lives. It involves increasing people’s knowledge and awareness, enabling them to take action to improve their health, and ensuring that their circumstances allow them to make healthy choices.

Molecules at any given temperature do not all have the same speed but in fact, a distribution of speeds given by the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution. Two persons named James Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann came up with a theory to demonstrate how the speeds of the molecule are distributed for an ideal gas, which is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution theory

When a system changes from a given initial state to a given final state, both the work W and the heat Q depend on the nature of the process. Experimentally, however, we find that the quantity Q – W is the same for all processes. It depends only on the initial and final states, and does not depend at all on how the system gets from one state to the other. All other combinations of Q and W, including Q alone, W alone, Q + W, and Q - 2W, are path dependent; only the quantity Q – W is not.

One goal of physics is to understand why time has direction, and why one way processes are irreversible. Although this physics might seem disconnected from the practical issues of everyday life, it is in fact at the heart of any engine, such as a car engine, because it determines how well an engine can run.

A heat engine, or more simply, an engine, is a device that extracts energy from its environment in the form of heat and does useful work. At the heart of every engine is a working substance. In a steam engine, the working substance is water, in both its vapor and its liquid form. In an automobile engine, the working substance is a gasoline–air mixture. If an engine is to do work on a sustained basis, the working substance must operate in a cycle; that is, the working substance must pass through a closed series of thermodynamic processes, called strokes, returning again and again to each state in its cycle.
