range of fields is coming from. However, there are caveats that must be applied in interpreting the Index. For instance, Nature journals, although covering a broad spectrum of basic research in the life sciences, physical and chemical sciences, provide relatively limited coverage of applied sciences, engineering and clinical medicine. The Index should therefore be viewed as primarily an index of high quality basic and not applied research (although there are exceptions such as the journal Nature Photonics

to conquer inequality and to bring about an acceptable quality of life and a purpose, for a majority of the people of the world. A case should be made for science and science education in the developing world, a case for optimal support for science and education even in the poorest and the least-developed of the countries of the world. Science teachers experience various constraints, such as lack of time, equipment, pedagogical content knowledge, and pedagogical skills in implementing reform-based

Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist that helped form the scientific knowledge and theories we have today. Being the “first real kind of scientist” Aristotle had a huge impact on the science world. Without the studies of Aristotle, many of the scientist in the time after him would not have been able to form the theories and beliefs they developed by looking at the work done by Aristotle. As one will see, Aristotle spent most of his life studying, teaching and writing; making

In today’s ever growing world of science and technology, it is hard to discover something science can’t back up or prove. The modern world is infatuated with having science as a safety blanket for all their choices. From going on diets, to finding out tomorrow’s weather, modern society has adopted the phrase “because science says so” and turned it into a power wielding sword against opinions and beliefs. However, there is one thing modern science and technology has not been able to prove; whether

AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. Natural and Environmental Science is a vast interdisciplinary study within Mathematics, Science and Mechanics which integrates physical, biological and information sciences to the study of the environment and the solutions to environmental issues. It developed during the insight from the areas of Medicine and Natural Antiquity. Quantitative reasoning is vital to the understanding of environmental processes. As mentioned earlier Environmental Science is an integration

gene manipulation were conducted on plants and led to the maturity of this knowledge for other species. Over time, focus shifted to fertility, artificial insemination, and cloning, all of these tested using animal subjects. This area of medical science covers many reproductive issues and how they are tackled using various treatments. Although many find genetic engineering repugnant in theory on basis that it is an

manifested as an external, outside-in rules and regulations to legislate the corporations whereas human governance is an inside-out values-based conviction to guide the human where human is viewed essentially as a non-material soul and embodied in the physical being rather than as machine. Being parameter-driven and rule-based, corporate governance emphasises the letter of the law unlike human governance which is about the spirit of the law. | | | 3. | How will human governance benefit us? |

First we need to understand what Christian Science is, and according to their belief: “Christian Scientists are always free to choose for themselves and their families the kind of health care that meets their needs. However, by practicing Christian Science, many have lived happy and healthy lives free of drugs and other systems of physical care.” ("How can I be healed? - Christian Science," n.d.). With that understanding and the request of the patient of having a PCP that is of the same faith, we

Professor John Harris, director of Manchester University's Institute for Science, believes cloning has immense benefits that will contribute to the world of science. Along with Professor Harris, I also believe that cloning has the capability of changing the world around us for the better. For instance, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and AIDS are some of the lethal diseases

knowledge or you believe that it doesn’t. I will demonstrate both perspectives by analyzing how the roles of logic and emotion help gain new knowledge in the sciences. Ideally the role of logic is applied towards the natural sciences, and the human sciences use emotion as a way of knowing. I believe that disagreement in the natural and human sciences opens up the opportunity to question what has been asserted, in order to ameliorate our current Truths, but there are cases where this same disagreement
