TYPES OF PARAGRAPH
The document discusses the different types of paragraphs, including opening, closing, transitional, conceptual definition, argumentative, timeline, list, descriptive, explanatory, expository, narrative, comparative, cause-effect, approach and solving a problem, sequence or process, deductive, and inductive paragraphs. It provides brief descriptions of each type of paragraph and their purpose.
Paragraph types
There are several types of paragraphs that can be used for different purposes:
- Descriptive paragraphs use details that appeal to the five senses to give a vivid description.
- Explanatory paragraphs, also called expository paragraphs, clearly explain a process or present different opinions and views without being critical.
- Argumentative paragraphs present a claim and supporting evidence to persuade the reader of an opinion.
- Narrative paragraphs tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end using time transitions between events.
- Comparative paragraphs point out the similarities and differences between two objects, facts, or ideas.

This document discusses different patterns of paragraph development that writers can use to organize ideas. It identifies four main patterns: 1) Narration and description, which focuses on telling a story or providing details about people, places, or things. 2) Definition, exemplification, and classification, which aims to explain or define concepts. 3) Cause and effect and comparison/contrast, which analyzes how things are similar/different or why things happen. 4) Problem-solution and persuasion, where an issue is presented along with a resolution or argument is made to convince readers. For each pattern, the document provides examples and explanations of how to structure paragraphs using that organizational strategy.

The document defines and discusses different techniques for defining terms, concepts, and ideas. It begins by formally defining definition as a mode of paragraph development that answers what something is, what it means, and its key features. The document then discusses different types of definitions, including formal definition using genus and differentia, and extended definition using analogy, metaphor, comparison/contrast, description, analysis, function, etymology, semantic origin, examples, synonyms, and negation. It emphasizes that definition is important for clarifying meaning and avoiding misinterpretation.
The expository paragraph
This document provides an overview of expository paragraphs, including their purpose, structure, and common approaches. Expository paragraphs aim to explain or analyze a topic using specific details and examples. They can be organized in various ways, such as by description, sequence, cause/effect, comparison/contrast, or problem/solution. Strong expository paragraphs use specific details and examples to support the controlling idea stated in the topic sentence, and ensure coherence through logical organization and transitional phrases.

LECTURE I: Theory and Philosophical Bases
1. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: is systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relationships among phenomena.
2. THEORY: is a set of interrelated constructs (concepts), definitions, and propositions that presents a systematic view of phenomena by specifying relations among variables, with the purpose of explaining, predicting, and controlling the phenomena.
DEFINITIONS
A Theory is a statement that explains why things happen as they do. There are three forms of a theory:
1. The "set-of-laws" form defines theory as a set of well-supported empirical generalizations, or "laws." Here, theory is thought of as "things we feel very certain about." This is the inductive form.
2. The "axiomatic" form defines theory as a set of interrelated propositions and definitions derived from axioms (i.e., things we feel certain about). This is the deductive form of a theory.
3. The "causal" form defines theory as a set of descriptions of causal processes. Here, theory "tells us how things work."
FUNCTIONS OF THEORY
a. EXPLANATION: provides an answer to the question "why is the fact what it is?" that is intellectually satisfying. Formal explanation: subsuming a proposition under a broader proposition which needs no explanation. It consists of a universal generalization that is assumed to be true, a particular set of circumstances, and a conclusion which asserts that an event had to occur because it was deducible from the logic of the propositions of the theory. Such explanations are deterministic/causal/nomic. Law: (x) <If Px then Qx>; Antecedent Condition: Px; Conclusion: Qx.
FUNCTIONS OF THEORY:
b. PREDICTION: proposing the occurrence of a future event given some awareness of a past or present relationship which may or may not be understood (e.g., astronomy). One can predict without explanation, but the reverse is not true. Thus explanation, rather than prediction, is the end of science.
FUNCTIONS OF THEORY
c. CONTROL: ability to intervene in a particular case or to alter the case of a particular relationship. In the pure case it implies complete understanding of elements and their relationships as well as a closed system. Less purely, it implies knowledge of the principles along which the phenomena vary.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A THEORY
ABSTRACTNESS
Abstract concepts are independent of a specific time and place. Because scientific statements must predict future events, they cannot be specific to past events. Scientists prefer theories that are as general as possible to time and place.
Abstract concepts are independent of specific circumst.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 1. TYPES OF PARAGRAPHS CRISTIAN RODRIGO MAYORGA AVELLANEDA DISCURSIVE THEORY BOGOTÁ D.C.
- 2. THE PARAGRAPH IS A GROUP OF SEQUENTIAL SENTENCES THAT TREAT OF THE SAME TOPIC, THAT THEY PROJECT A SOLID IDEA FOLLOWING A UNIT AND COHERENCE IN THE TEXT. EXIST TYPES OF PARAGRAPHS LIKE THE ARGUMENTATIVE, NARRATIVE, DESCRIPTIVE, CONCEPTUAL, CHRONOLOGICAL, OF ENUMERATION, EXPLICATIVE, EXPLANATORY, COMPARATIVE, REASON – EFFECT.
- 3. ARGUMENTATIVE PARAGRAPH ANNOUNCES AN IDEA TO CONVINCE SOMEONE IN SOMETHING THAT STEADIES ITSELF OR REFUSES. THE PURPOSE OF THE AUTHOR CAN BE PROVING OR DEMONSTRATING AN IDEA.
- 4. CONCEPTUAL PARAGRAPH EXPLAINS A CONCEPT, TERM OR IDEA THAT ONE FINDS INSIDE THE TEXT AND THE AUTHOR USED LATER EXAMPLE:
- 5. CHRONOLOGICAL PARAGRAPH IS THE TEMPORARY ORDER OF A SUCCESSION OF MOMENTS IN AN EVENT
- 6. PARAGRAPH OF ENUMERATION THIS ONE EXPOSES HIS NUMBERED ELEMENTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY IT FOCUSES IN THE HIERARCHY OF THE INFORMATION. IS IN USE FOR EXPOSING A LIST OF INFORMATION THAT RELATES BETWEEN IF.
- 7. DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH IS CHARACTERIZED BECAUSE IT TRIES TO REPRESENT TO AN OBJECT, ANIMAL, PERSON, PLACE OR FEELING, EXPOSING HIS PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS. THE AUTHOR USES THE SENSES TO DESCRIBE THE ATTRIBUTES OF WHOM OR WHAT HE SPEAKS IN THE TEXT. EXAMPLE:
- 8. EXPLICATIVE PARAGRAPH SERVES TO DEVELOP OR TO EXTEND THE TOPIC THAT I KNOW THIS ONE TREATING IN THE TEXT.
- 9. EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH IS THAT ONE THAT TRANSMITS INFORMATION. IT IS TO SAY, HIS PRINCIPAL PURPOSE IS TO TRANSMIT A KNOWLEDGE OF SOMETHING.
- 10. NARRATIVE PARAGRAPH IS THAT ONE THAT COUNTS A SITUATION. IT IS IN THE HABIT OF TREATING ABOUT A SUCCESSIVE ENUMERATION OF FACTS, IN GENERAL ARRANGED IN A CHRONOLOGICAL WAY.
- 11. COMPARATIVE PARAGRAPH Is the paragraph in which they present the differences and similarities on a topic or thing It is based on the search and difference explanation on the features, activities and vocations.
