A respiratory rate, or breathing rate, is the number of breaths a person takes in one minute while at rest, and it can be measured by counting the number of times a person's chest rises and falls within one minute.he opposite of apnea is tachypnea, or rapid breathing. A faster than normal respiratory rate may be caused by the flu or a cold in children, and pneumonia and asthma may also cause an increase in the rate of respiration in people of all ages.
In the social sciences, the most prominent manifestation of realism is. the âcritical realistâ tradition usually associated with the work of Roy Bhaskar. (1978, 1989, 2011; Archer, Bhaskar, Collier, Lawson, & Norrie, 1998; Manicas, 2006; Sayer, 1992, 2000).
Popper wrote about critical rationalism in his works: The Open Society and its Enemies, Conjectures and Refutations, The Myth of the Framework, and Unended Quest.ritical rationalism has it that knowledge is objective (in the sense of being embodied in various substrates and in the sense of not being reducible to what humans individually  know ), and also that truth is objective (exists independently of social mediation or individual perception, but is really real).
