• Data and Information

  • Data consists of nothing but facts, which can be manipulated to make it useful; the analytical process turns the data into information.
  • Data consists of nothing but facts (organized or unorganized) which can then be manipulated into other forms to make it useful and understandable, turning the data into information.
  • The process of manipulating facts to information is referred to as "processing. " In order to be processed by a computer, data needs to first be converted into a machine readable format.
  • Data processing may or may not be distinguishable from data conversion, which involves changing data into another format, and does not involve any data manipulation.

• Applications of Genetic Engineering

  • Genetic engineering means the manipulation of organisms to make useful products and it has broad applications.
  • Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.
  • The evolving field of gene therapy involves manipulating human genes to treat or cure genetic diseases and disorders.
  • Laboratory mice are genetically manipulated by deleting a gene for use in biomedical research.

• Genetic Engineering in Animals

  • Natural animals are specifically adapted to a given environment and when science manipulates the genes of a few species in the ecosystem, the entire balance of the ecosystem might fall completely apart and cause an unknown number of natural animal species to grow extinct.
  • Others argue that animals should possess, at a bare minimum, the right to be free of genetic manipulation or a reduction in their natural abilities.
  • Laboratory mice are genetically manipulated by deleting a gene for use in biomedical research.

• Introduction

  • Managing these data, and manipulating them so that we can see patterns of social structure can be tedious and complicated.
  • For the manipulation of network data, and the calculation of indexes describing networks, it is most useful to record information as matrices.

• Rational Action in Specific Contexts

  • Each of these six variations can be manipulated in exactly the same ways as the basic expressions, but we need
  • Each of these six variations can be manipulated in exactly the same ways as the basic expressions, but we need not go into this here.

• Limitations of Financial Statements

  • Financial statements can be limited by intentional manipulation, differences in accounting methods, and a sole focus on economic measures.
  • The limitations of financial statements include inaccuracies due to intentional manipulation of figures; cross-time or cross-company comparison difficulties if statements are prepared with different accounting methods; and an incomplete record of a firm's economic prospects, some argue, due to a sole focus on financial measures .
  • One limitation of financial statements is that they are open to human interpretation and error, in some cases even intentional manipulation of figures.
  • High-profile cases in which management manipulated figures in financial statements to indicate inflated economic performance highlighted the need to review the effectiveness of accounting standards, auditing regulations, and corporate governance principles.

• Cult

  • Mind control refers to a process in which a group or individual "systematically uses unethically manipulative methods to persuade others to conform to the wishes of the manipulator(s), often to the detriment of the person being manipulated. "
  • Secular cult opponents like those belonging to the anti-cult movement tend to define a cult as a group that tends to manipulate, exploit, and control its members.
  • Specific factors in cult behavior are said to include manipulative and authoritarian mind control over members, communal and totalistic organization, aggressive proselytizing, systematic programs of indoctrination, and perpetuation in middle-class communities.

• Drawbacks of Repurchasing Shares

  • Share repurchases often give an advantage to insiders and can be used to manipulate financial metrics.
  • Furthermore, share repurchases can be used to manipulate financial metrics.

• Production of Vaccines, Antibiotics, and Hormones

  • Biotechnological advances in gene manipulation techniques have further resulted in the production of vaccines, antibiotics, and hormones.
  • Antibiotics are produced on a large scale by cultivating and manipulating fungal cells.
