International Trade Theories and Global Economic Institutions
Modern Theory of International Trade
The modern theory of international trade explains why countries trade with each other and how they benefit from trade. This theory has evolved over time, incorporating new ideas and perspectives.
Key Elements
- Comparative Advantage: Countries trade based on comparative advantage, which refers to the ability to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost.
- Factor Endowments: Countries’ factor endowments, such as labor, capital, and natural resources, influence
Understanding Decision Trees and Ensemble Learning Techniques
Decision Tree: A decision tree is a supervised learning algorithm that splits data into branches based on feature values to make predictions or classifications.
Gini Impurity: Gini impurity measures how often a randomly chosen element would be incorrectly classified; it indicates node impurity in a decision tree.
Nearest Neighbor Method: Classifies a sample based on the majority class of its closest training samples.
Difference Between Boosting and Bagging: Bagging reduces variance by averaging multiple

The Role of Values in Indian Education: A Historical Perspective
The concept, nature, and aims of education in Indian philosophical traditions—Vedic, Buddhist, Jain, and Islamic—are deeply rooted in spiritual, moral, and societal development, each emphasizing liberation, character formation, and holistic growth.
Vedic Education
The Vedic system regarded education as a sacred pursuit aimed at self-realization and liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death. The ultimate aim was spiritual enlightenment and knowledge of the Supreme Reality (Brahman),

Operating System Concepts: Key Differences
This section outlines the differences between core operating system concepts:
- Preemptive and Non-Preemptive Scheduling
- Program and Process
- Hard Real-Time Systems and Soft Real-Time Systems
- Time Sharing and Multiprogramming
Preemptive vs. Non-Preemptive Scheduling
| Point | Preemptive Scheduling | Non-Preemptive Scheduling |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CPU can be taken away from a running process before completion. | CPU cannot be taken away; the process runs until it finishes or waits. |

Protestant Reformation: Causes, Conflicts, and Counter-Reformation
The Protestant Reformation
The Reformation was a religious movement which began in the first half of the 16th century. It instigated the division of the Christian Church and the founding of Protestant churches.
Causes of the Reformation
- The low clergy’s lack of training. The Church hierarchy did not give much importance to the training of its priests and, therefore, many of them did not behave appropriately.
- The bad example set by the high clergy. The majority of those at the top of the hierarchy occupied
