Dr. wong is working on a better treatment for ringworm, a fungus that infects the surface of the skin. current treatments require the application of a cream and/or the ingestion of medication for as long as three months.

dr. wong thinks that he has developed a cream that can cure ringworm in no more than three days. what is the best way for dr. wong to be more certain that his experimental results are not biased?

a. dr. wong could publish his data in a scientific journal and have different investigators try to reproduce his results.

b. dr. wong could have one of his assistants perform one additional experimental trial and see if the results are the same.

c. dr. wong could hide his data when publishing his results, so others will not be able to replicate his experiments.

d. dr. wong could reduce his sample size, so he only focuses on a few select cases of ringworm.

The correct answer is a) Dr. Wong could publish his data in a scientific journal and have different investigators try to reproduce his results. This is due to external validity, when data from a research can be confirm and reproduced, after selecting a proper sample size and determine alfa and beta power, for the study. If no bias exists, other researchers should be able to replicate and validate Dr’s Wong Results.

B and C options are both unacceptable due to ethical issues, and D is incorrect based on the central limit theorem; if Dr’s Wong sample is at least 30 in number (for each group: A=test group and B=control group) the statistical inferences can be translated into larger populations. Smaller samples than this, are not recommended due to bias and internal validity.

racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.

Urban growth invariably feeds increased commercialization and industrialization. it requires continually expanding land areas. when urbanization rates are high, and countries do not have the institutional and managerial capacities or economic wherewithal to manage such rapid growths, they exert intense pressure on the types and nature of the resulting settlements. they contribute to the development of overcrowded slums and shanty towns without adequate essential services and necessary infrastructure.-by asit k. biswas and cecilia tortajada
