Subject field(s)
  • Epidemiology
DEF

Data based on the description of individual cases rather than controlled studies.

CONT

Additionally, anecdotal data may lack quantitative specifics and can come from sources that are not peer reviewed such as the popular media. In the epidemiology context, anecdotal data refers specifically to case studies, but other disciplines use the term to refer to pieces of information that are based on casual observations rather than rigorous or scientific analysis.

OBS

The plural of "datum" is "data. "When "data" is used as a plural term, it may be perceived as a collective noun, which takes a singular verb. However, "data" can take a plural verb if attention is being focused on each individual piece of data(e. g. The data were transferred.). In both cases, the French equivalent should be in the plural form.

Basic balance poses series. Balancing poses require tremendous concentration and focus. These qualities are further developed and refined through a regular yoga practice where we bring our attention to our center and hold ourselves up against the pull of gravity. Whether balancing on one foot, both hands, one hand or even on our head in headstand, we must find our centered midline of stillness. This asana practice is a meditation, as themind is focused on the body part(s) bearing our whole body weight; and therefore the mind cannot waver or wander, but must remain one-pointed and still to maintain balance.

Une fois maîtrisées, ces postures donnent un sens d’accomplissement, de plaisir – elles développent également la confiance en soi.

... the means by which farmers are helped to improve their production, usually by governments, through teaching, demonstration and other aids. The term ’extension’ may derive from the fact that the assistance is extended to individuals or groups as and where they are engaged in production.

Those activities may be said to constitute the primary field of extension, largely suited for group instruction and activity.
