It is important to study about language and verbal behavior because it helps understand other people in a better way. Language or verbal behavior is defined as an operant behavior, which is strengthened by other people’s mediation (Skinner, 1957). This can be well explained as a practical relationship existing between the behavior of a person speaking, as well as the conditions in their environment. However, in this relationship, an important question, on how reinforcement between the speaker and the other people occurs arises.
According to research, it is clear that children acquire a number of language skills mainly without any instructions. ...

Introduction

According to Pope and Mays (2000), the status and credibility of a qualitative health care research largely depends on assessing the quality of the methods, and data collection procedures used in carrying out the research. In assessing such qualities, it is imperative that certain guidelines and criteria must be followed depending on the method used in the research. The guidelines and criteria become essential in ensuring that the quality of a qualitative and quantitative research is thoroughly assessed, thus distinguishing between a poor and quality research. The increased use of qualitative methods in clinical and health care researches require that an assessment ...

Abstract

This research established in the article sought to explain the issue of marriage regarding Chinese rural young women and to give the grounds if the issue served as a risk or protective factor for their suicide. The analysis included a brief summary of the main ideas of the article, the purpose of the research, key findings and consequences of the results. Moreover, the major theoretical perspective to clarify the findings was based on Emile Durkheim’s social integration theory of suicide which highlights sources of people’s social support. The observations allowed ...

The article “Conducting an Ethically Sound Internal EEO Investigation” by Christopher Lage (2012) dictates a step by step process to conducting EEO investigation using the appropriate channels. Christopher explains that the major process involves firstly gathering information to respond to the internal complaints in the organization, then creating a factual basis for defense; for instance, the affirmative defense to vicarious liability. Lastly, thoroughly assessing whether the organization’s hiring, recruitment, or promotion processes pose barriers to advancements of certain groups. Each and every aspect of an internal EEO investigation will require answers to a number of ethical questions. The ...

The onset of the implementation of Electronic Health Records has had an effect on the professional and physical autonomy of highly trained professional physicians specifically in the healthcare organizations. Electronic Health Records trigger a certain take by HC professionals contributing to observable changes in Healthcare Organizations following a response from the HC professionals. Their response reflects the data collected from the physicians through interviews. The topic raises a controversy to whether the effects are more constraining due to the managers using the Electronic Health Records to exercise more control (McGimpsey, 2011). Some of the many positive effects that come with ...

Description

The article at hand refers to the thoughts and ideas of scholars who observed the process of analytical reasoning and found some useful tips and suggestions for making it effective. The first thing that the article pays attention to is that it is better to find approximate answer to the correct question than completely correct answer to the wrong one. The degree of information loss and misleading is far much in the last case. The choice of the problem is crucially important for the effective reasoning and qualitative analytical work.
Another striking point is that evidence is crucially important ...

Part 1. Differences between quantitative and qualitative research

Research is the parlance used to refer to the search of knowledge. It is described by Kothari (2004) as both a scientific and systematic search for information and an art of scientific investigation. There are two approaches used in research, namely quantitative and qualitative research and they vary greatly on how the research is done. Quantitative research only uses measurable data to analyze while the qualitative research approach mainly uses data that are narrative and subjective. The goal or research objective of quantitative data is to use statistical models using a systematic procedure. This approach uses various steps to progress logically ...

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in
The study by Brinkman, Amadeo, Funk, and Grocott (2013) investigated cerebral desaturation, which frequently occurs in one-lung ventilation procedures for thoracic surgery and is possibly caused by lower cardiac output. The aim of the study was to explore the correlation between decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation that occurs in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation and decreased cardiac output. Although cerebral oxygen saturation was lowered in all of the participants, the researchers did not have statistically significant data that could be used to establish a correlation between cerebral desaturation and cardiac output, so ...

Question No. 1: In what specific ways was John Snow’s approach to accounting the disease a departure from accepted explanation to the outbreak of cholera?

Prior to John Snow’s approach to accounting for the outbreak of cholera, it was believed by many, including physicians, that the disease was a blood disorder. This was because some of the symptoms of the disease include the bursting of small vessels that make the skin turn blue as the blood become thicker and tar-like because of dehydration. It was also generally believed that the disease was air-borne (Ball 3). The failure then ...

Arguably one of the most important documents in the entirety of the criminal justice system, the Presentencing Investigation Report (PSI) remains a vital source of information that guides judges who have to pass sentences.

As a legal term, PSI report is a purposeful investigation into the history of a convict before a sentence is passed to establish if there are grounds that could extenuate, so that the judge has the discretion to vary the sentence.

The evolution of the PSI has led to the development of at least three approaches. These shall inform the ensuing discussion. ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was associated with various behaviors, including violence, impaired emotional regulation, and aggression, which are associated with criminal behavior. It is estimated that TBI affects 8.5 percent of the population, but the highest prevalence of TBI, which can be up to 60 percent, is recorded among prisoners (Williams, 2012). Because TBI is associated with elevating risk factors for offending behaviors, and because it mainly occurs during early stages of life, it is important to investigate clinical implications of treating TBI to reduce criminal behaviors that may be associated with previous brain injuries.

Complexity science is the investigation of complex adjustable frameworks, "the numerous patterns of relationships inside them, how they are supported, how they self-compose, and how results develop" (Zimmerman 2001). Complex adjustable frameworks are densely joined networks of co-operating agents who acclimate by changing their principles, and subsequently their conduct, as they increase experience. Specialists have been creating multifaceted nature based public health and health care administration devices, and methods drawing on a bigger literature of many-sided quality based organizational administration hypothesis.
Complexity science is still in its early stages, and is multi-faceted, reflecting distinctive roads of study. The avenue ...

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.
