Author: Prithvi Oak

Reviewer: Team Questioz

Reviewer's Note: This is an interesting analysis of Root mean square and the bell curve method as metrics for differentiating between True Random Numbers and Pseudo Random Numbers. It utilizes carefully collected data in various sets and makes the methodology used clear. The data analysis is expertly done and presented in a well structured argument covering the three different metrics that were used in the study. The paper serves as an important contribution to its field by exploring the usage of simpler methods than the ones currently in place to effectively differentiate between TRNs and PRNs and to assess randomness.

To Kill/Save or Not to Save/Kill: An Analysis of Increased Awareness on Teen Attitudes Towards Xenotransplantation

10/13/2020

Comments

 

Author: Anika Singh

Reviewer's Name: Aayushi Deshpande, Master of Science, University of Pennsylvania 

Reviewer's note:

In this study of xenotransplantation, the author investigates the voice of stakeholders that are yet to be consumers—adolescents. Not only do they educate the subjects about xenotransplantation, but also seek their ethical opinions on the practice. In doing this they predict possible attitudes that the generation to come will view this medical practice. They delve into two guiding factors, animal rights and integrity of healing practices and discuss the pros and cons of both. They finally suggest ways to sway public opinion in favour of the novel practice of xenotransplantation.

A Beacon of Hope: Fatehpur Sikri and Akbar’s Vision as a Symbol of Peaceful Co-Existence for Hindus and Muslims

10/12/2020

Comments

 
Author: Drsika Chopra

​Reviewer: Vaishnavi Sreenivas, Master of Science, University of Edinburgh


Reviewer's Note:
This paper expertly analyses and argues the significance of Fatehpur Sikri as a symbol of religious coexistence in the history of India, which needs to be highlighted amongst the communalist tendencies in the current Indian climate. The paper carefully uses data collected through three forms of ethnographic studies and presents a structured argument that manages to cover a significant amount of historical and political contexts which shed light on one of the most crucial conflicts in India today. Though it uses politically and culturally loaded phrasing, it raises very important questions about the discourse of alienation between Hindus and Muslims in the current political climate and how history and historical remnants can be used to influence this discourse in a positive manner.
