Interview Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Rigorous research can be performed either qualitatively or quantitatively. The key is to pick the correct form for the research question that is being addressed. Some research questions have results that are best described numerically, like the percent of patients impacted by a particular practice, or a reduction in the number of hospitals days with the use of a particular nursing technique. These kinds of questions should utilize quantitative research approaches to quantify, or count, the effect being measured. However, some research questions cannot be answered by using just a number or percentage. These kinds of research questions should be studied using qualitative ...

Introduction

Software development methodologies have one main concern; to create software. The creation is more organizational than rather than technical. To be able to understand properly what software development methodology entails, one needs to understand the introduction as well as the historical background of each one of them (Wiegers 2005). By taking the long route, one is able to appreciate what has been achieved so far in software development and what is still being researched.
This paper is a discussion of a variety of soft ware development methodologies and their level of efficiency in business information system.

Motivational Interviewing: Literature Review

Extensive research has been executed on the subject of motivational interviewing (MI) since it was originally published as a key approach to eliciting behavioral change (Shulman, 2011). In his original designation, Miller & Rollnick (2013) described motivational interviewing as an approach that is based on the fundamental principles of experimental social psychology and the application of such principles such as cognitive dissonance, attribution, and self-efficacy. Motivational Interviewing can be defined as a client centered directive counseling style critical in eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence (Shulman, 2011). The approach, therefore, comes out as facilitative, focusing on ...

Abstract

The number of people being affected by various diseases that require them to have organ transplants increases every day. Meanwhile, the amount of donated organs is extremely insufficient to meet the high demand. There is also the problem of finding a donor match for a recipient and the need to take strong medications that suppress the immune system of the recipient so that the transplanted organ is not rejected. A solution to these problems has been and is still being developed, with laboratory-grown organs holding much promise. These organs can be tailor-made using the patient’s own cells or other cell sources, ...

Analysis of Qualitative and Quantitative Research methods used in articles

The human brain is a receptacle of knowledge and reasoning and man has always had an inherent ability to think, analyze argue and conclude. The concept of critical thinking as a form of analysis has its roots during the time of Socrates. He believed that man should not blindly accept view- points placed before them by people in seats of power. Men are fallible and prone to confused thinking and empty rhetoric. It is important to analyze on the basis of knowledge, available data and insight. RH Ennis (2003) described critical thinking as, focussed thinking based on sound reasoning and reflections ...

In a paper presented at a symposium on teaching children to think creatively, child psychologist E. Paul Torrance (1972), creator of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (Torrance, 1980, 1966) says,
I know that it is possible to teach children to think creatively and that it can be done in a variety of ways. I have done it. I have seen my wife do it. I have seen other excellent teachers do it. I have seen children who demonstrated a disability for thinking creatively learn to think creatively. I have seen them continuing for years thereafter to ...

Briefly discuss the type of design used by Torres and the timing of the data collection.

Torres used both the qualitative and quantitative research designs. For qualitative research design, he utilized the semi-structured interviews to gather the data needed to understand and determine the needed skills to successfully engage in the mainstream U.S. and Latino cultures, and the cultural consensus analysis to determine the shared cultural model of Latino intercultural competence. This was done by measuring the degree to which the participants agree on the definition of some cultural domain.
In general, Torres used the mixed-method approach of research design which is a combination of both the qualitative research design and the quantitative research design. ...

Introduction

Risk assessment tools are employed for the purposes of identifying and managing the people at risk of certain tendencies that may be harmful to them.

The two articles chosen for this study focus on various dimensions of the assessment, yet all ...

Introduction

Dietary fiber is a combined term for a diversity of plant matters that are resistant to digestion by human gastrointestinal enzymes. Dietary fibers can be categorized into two major groups according to their solubility in water. In humans, natural gel-forming fibers (gums, pectins, mucilage, and the remains of the hemicelluloses) are soluble. Whereas the matrix fibers or the structural (lignins, some hemicelluloses, and cellulose,) are insoluble, Dietary fiber and whole grains are among the best sources of nutrients including minerals, a slowly digestive energy and vitamins. (Byrne, 2011). They also contain phytochemicals such as carotenoids, lignans, inulin, beta-glucan and phenolic. These chemicals ...

Ageing and Mental Illness

The older members of the population are increasing, with recent indication that people who are over 60 years old are growing in number in the past years. This social phenomenon can be attributed to the advancement in medical technology that provided for the people’s health and well being. With better technology and medical attention, older people can enjoy their advanced years, and can still be valuable members of the society, not only in their capacity as family members but also as active contributors in the workforce. However, while there are older people who enjoy good health, there are ...

There are two different strategies I would use to investigate the claim that KFC is no longer Kentucky Fried Chicken because they simply use genetically manipulated chicken-like organisms. My first strategy would be to investigate the reasoning behind the perceived brand name change. I would seek out and interview KFC officials and marketing officials in order to ask them the reasoning behind the brand name change, making sure to record the interview to receive information from a direct source. I would also research copyright and trademark data as available, in addition to press releases and corporate data, for any ...

INTRODUCTION

Inflation has been described by economics in various ways. A simple description of this condition is a reduction in the value of money of a country. An underlying cause of this is imbalance between the quantity of goods and services and the volume of money in circulation in an economy. Increased volume of money in circulation with respect to the goods in the economy causes inflation.
Hyperinflation is considered an extreme case of inflation. Many economists only regard it hyperinflation when the rate of inflation is at least 50% per month or 1000% per annum. Most hyperinflations are caused by ...

Seamus Heaney’s “Mid-Term Break”

Seamus Heaney’s poem, “Mid-Term Break,” dramatizes the conflict of denial and acceptance, as the speaker, a boy, returns from school for the funeral of his younger brother. The reader witnesses the literal events as the boy waits at school, returns home to the mourning family, and sees the body of his little brother in the coffin. While the events in the poem seem ordinary and there is little question of what happened, Heaney had good reason to tell this story as a poem and not in prose.
A clue to this reason for poetry versus prose comes from literary ...

Psychology

Parental death in childhood is a traumatic experience for any child. Each child handles the passing of a parent differently and the ability to experience normal grief can depend on experiences before the death. Some children need no professional help after the death and seem to handle the tragedy by the normal grief process. Others have problems with depression or anxiety in the short-term; some children ‘act out’ with inappropriate behavior. The long-term consequences of the loss of a parent in childhood can be very strong; so strong that the consequences may be carried on into adulthood.

The intensity of the impact of childhood ...

Parent’s Influences and Responses to Children’s Risk-taking in Outdoor Play

Introduction
Parents play an integral role in guiding their children in making crucial decisions in life, especially when it comes to risk taking. Although in most instances children depend on their direct experiences to react appropriately to risky situations it is apparent that parents also influence their ability to make sound decisions in such situations. When children are young most of these decisions are influenced by their parents since they control most of the activities they engage in. As children grow older, they start gaining independence in handling several tasks thus they take a greater responsibility for their decisions. ...

During my research, I focused on collecting information from Ryan, a 32 old friend and Bruce Torgerson who is now 65 years old. The information that I collected from these two subjects had some elements in common while others were different based on each preference. For instance, it was not hard to note that the frequency of computer usage was different whereby Ryan agreed that he used his computer every day, this was not the case with Bruce Torgerson who only used the computer for only five days a week. When it comes to similarity, one could easily note ...

Literature Review

It is found that oil prices have undergone critical decline over past couple of years for several reasons at the bottom of this decline. However, reducing demand triggered by increased production of oil in USA, over production by OPEC, and shift towards renewable sources of energy is considered the most fundamental reason behind current downtrend of oil prices. It conforms to the simple theory of demand and supply according to which demand and price are in positive, while price and supply are in negative relationship with each other (Stafford, 2015; Scott, 2015; Goldenberg, 2016; Arnold, 2008; Hensher, Rose, & Greene, ...

Introduction

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005). However, it does not mean that international context will be ignored in the analysis process because international factors might have impacts on the transition process through their connections with domestic actors particularly in terms of distribution of power and resources, which in turn have effect on how they will act (Cavatorta 2005). One thing to remember is a ...

The play “The Importance of being Earnest” was written by Oscar Wilde, and was first seen in a theater in 1895. The play is a comedy which uses various literary techniques to bring out various themes in the Victorian era. Irony is a major literary technique in the play in which the protagonist named Jack uses the name Earnest as an alibi whenever he wishes to escape from his reality. He has created an imaginary character in his head in which he has a younger brother by the name Earnest (Wilde 15). In his real world, he is however ...

Drug consult on “citalopram, methylphenidate, or their combination in geriatric depression” in a “randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial” (Lavrestsky et al. 2015, 561).
Elderly patients with symptoms of depression do not show responses as strong as younger patients to anti-depressants. Lavretsky et al. (2015) note that antidepressant therapies are commonly used to alleviate geriatric depression but many geriatric patients “chronic course or relapse frequently after periods of improvement” (561). The quality of life of elderly patients with depression is often greatly reduced because of cognitive impairment (561). The sufferers may exhibit a low response to treatment, difficulty functioning with essential ...

Introduction

Fostering diversity and multicultural inclusion in STEM majors is one of the most problematic areas on the today’s business and academic agendas (Barzilai, 2005). Duerstock and Shingledecker (2014) argue that the practice shows that attracting culturally diverse interns to the professional and educational fields is an effective approach to cultivating equitable working environments. Although a number of informative studies have been conducted to analyze theoretical perspectives of the problem, brining cultural diversity to the workplaces is still practically and conceptually impoverished, especially in the public segment of economy (Ross, 1985).
The scholars and the practitioners unanimously agree on ...
