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).
7. Waltz's âNeorealismâ has given birth to the question how much capability the states seek (how much is enough?). Answering this question, another Neorealist, John Mearsheimer, created Offensive Realism (as opposed to Waltzian âdefensiveâ realism) â a major contribution to IR theory. 8. Waltz's âNeorealismâ has also given birth to Robert Keohaneâs âModified Structural Realismâ, in his 1982 paper âStructural Realism and beyondâ (Ada Finifter, ed., Political Science: The state of the discipline, APSA).
