Introduction to force01:25

Introduction to force

Consider water flowing from a nozzle to a turbine vane. As the water hits the turbine vane, it exerts a force that causes it to move along the flow of direction. Force is an impact that changes an object's motion, shape, or orientation. Forces can be caused by physical contact, such as a push or pull, or through non-contact interactions, such as magnetic or gravitational forces. Force is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction, and is measured in newtons (N) in the SI unit system.
An Introduction to Mechanics01:28

An Introduction to Mechanics

Humans have been making ships, shelters, pyramids, weapons, agricultural equipment, and many more items without recording the process or theory behind them for centuries. It would be challenging to document the evolution of mechanics from its origin to the present.
According to records, the history of mechanics starts with Aristotle (384–322 BC). He related mechanics to physical theory, aiming for a universal synthesis.
Newton defined mechanics as the branch of physical science that studies the...

Introduction to Statistics

The science of statistics involves collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. The method of collecting, organizing, and summarizing data is called descriptive statistics. The systematic method of drawing inferences from the sample data and predicting unknown characteristics of a population is called inferential statistics.
In statistics, the collection of individuals or objects under study is called population. The idea of sampling is to select a portion of the larger population...

Newton's First Law: Introduction

Motion draws our attention. Motion itself can be beautiful, causing us to marvel at the forces needed to create spectacular sights, such as that of a dolphin jumping out of the water, the flight of a bird, or the orbit of a satellite. The study of motion is kinematics, but kinematics only describes the way objects move—their velocity and acceleration. Dynamics considers the forces that affect the motion of moving objects and systems. Newton's laws of motion are the foundation of dynamics. These...
Chromatography: Introduction01:10

Chromatography: Introduction

Chromatography is a technique used to separate compounds based on differences of partitioning between two phases, the stationary phase and the mobile phase.
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
Biostatistics: Overview01:20

Biostatistics: Overview

Biostatistics plays a crucial role in understanding and analyzing data in healthcare and biology. Biostatisticians conduct experiments, gather evidence, and draw meaningful conclusions using statistical methods and techniques. Different variables form the foundation of biostatistical analysis, allowing researchers to understand and interpret data effectively. These variables are classified into different types, each serving a specific purpose in statistical analysis.
Discrete variables are...

Summary

This study explores evaluation in violent conflict zones. It examines the philosophical, theoretical, and practical challenges evaluators face in war-torn and divided societies.

Area of Science:

  • Evaluation studies
  • Conflict analysis
  • Social science research

Background:

  • Evaluation practice is complex in contexts of violence.
  • Violent contested spaces present unique challenges for evaluators.
  • Understanding these challenges is crucial for effective evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the field of evaluation within violent contested spaces.
  • To explore the philosophical, theoretical, political, and practical issues in such contexts.
  • To provide a foundation for research on evaluation in conflict zones.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual exploration of evaluation in conflict.
  • Discussion of existing literature on evaluation and conflict.
  • Identification of key issues and concerns for evaluators.

Main Results:

  • Evaluation in violent settings requires careful consideration of context.
  • Philosophical and theoretical underpinnings are critical.
  • Practical challenges include safety, access, and ethical dilemmas.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to develop robust evaluation methodologies for violent contexts.
  • Evaluators must be equipped to navigate complex political and social dynamics.
  • The practice of evaluation must adapt to the realities of war and civil strife.
