Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) The Intrauterine Devices are ideal contraceptives for females. IUD is a tiny device that is put into the uterus by the health service provider to prevent pregnancy. It is long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control methods available. These devices […]
Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Barrier Methods of Contraception Barrier methods of contraception act as barriers to keep the man’s sperm from reaching the woman’s ovum (egg). Some barrier methods also protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The common barrier methods are spermicide, condom, fem shield, diaphragm, cervical cap, vault cap, and sponge, etc. […]
Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Natural Methods of Contraception Birth control also known as contraception is the use of various devices, drugs, agents, sexual practices, or surgical procedures to prevent conception or pregnancy. It enables people to choose when they want to have a baby. Contraception may be a temporary […]
Several formulae have been suggested for constructing index numbers and the problem is that of selecting the most appropriate one in a given situation. The different tests are the unit test, time reversal test, factor reversal test, and circular test. Unit Test: This test states that the formula for constructing an index number should be […]
Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Social and Economic Measures for Population Control Population explosion is a social problem and it is deeply rooted in society. So efforts must be done to remove the social evils in the country. Population control is a way in which the rate of population growth […]
Management > Managerial Statistics > Index Number By Kelly’s Method and Walsh’s Method Kelly’s Method: Truman L. Kelly has suggested the following formula for constructing index number. Here weights are the quantities which may refer to some period, not necessarily the base year or current year. Thus the average quantity of two or more years […]
Management > Managerial Statistics > Index Number By Marshall Edgeworth Method The Marshall Edgeworth Method for the index number, credited to Marshall (1887) and Edgeworth (1925), is a weighted relative of the current period to base period sets of prices. This index uses the arithmetic average of the current and based period quantities for weighting. Price Index by Marshall Edgeworth Method: […]
Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Population Explosion Population Explosion refers to the sudden, drastic, and rapid rise in the size of the population, especially the human population. It is an unchecked growth of human population caused as a result of increased birth rate, decreased infant mortality rate, and improved life expectancy. It […]
Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Demographic Study The word ‘Demography’ is a combination of two Greek words, ‘Demos’ meaning people and ‘Graphy’ meaning science. Thus demography is the science of people. Demography is the statistical and mathematical study of the size, composition, and spatial distribution of human populations and how […]
Science > Biology > Human Population and Population Control > Attributes of Human Population Part – III Population fluctuations, biotic potential, and carrying capacity is another set of attributes of the human population. Population Fluctuation: In all populations, numbers rise and fall over time. Once the population has reached equilibrium in a certain region, its […]
