The validity of research is identifying how sound a study is. In other words, research validity is evaluated by assessing the appropriateness of methods for answering the set research question. There are many aspects of valid research that should be kept in mind to make the research valid. First, sound...
Introduction Although human beings usually gain from scientific testing on animals, their distress, pain, and death do not match the likely benefits. Irrespective of animal subjects having been used in scientific research for a long time, the practice is cruel and should not continue. Researchers across the globe share their...
Introduction Research is meant to solve problems and answer questions. It incorporates creativity and systematic improvement of an idea by evidencing its workability (Gauch, 2003). Researches require proper planning and arrangement to warrant their success. Unplanned research aborts before completion or fails or provides information that is out of context....
Abstract The Abiquiu Embayment is to be found in north-central New Mexico. Through the (angular) unconformity way, both sedimentary and volcanic (rocks) superimposes pre-tertiary ones. Chicoma is the oldest form of volcanic formation. latite and andesite (flows) are its main components. It has a thickness that can measure up to...
Planets suitable for life in space are rare: few celestial bodies can simultaneously have an iron core, crust, atmosphere, and water in liquid form. However, scientists have already discovered several potentially inhabited worlds. According to González-Espada and Méndez (2016) a star that has reached a record in the number of...
Introduction Currently, the online medium, digital libraries, and printed publications provide medical professionals with abundant information related to innovative treatment methods, advancements in health care, solutions to issues in nursing, and so forth. Nevertheless, even peer-reviewed publications sometimes involve controversial findings and unverified data due to the application of irrelevant...
An earthquake is a sudden tremor of the earth’s surface or below and occurs naturally due to various factors (Cari 4). Earthquakes start either underneath or on the exterior of the earth’s crust depending on the basis that led to the tremble or tremor. The magnitude of an earthquake measures...
Characteristics of a Good Qualitative Research Credibility Credibility is an essential criterion for judging the soundness of qualitative research. This criterion entails establishing the capacity of qualitative research results to be believable from the dimension of research participants (Guba and Lincoln, 1981, p.61: Barbour, 2003, p.1019). From the perspective of...
I had a friend who was not very good at money management. He was careless about his expenses, earnings, and savings. He owed me some money so I decided that to receive it back sooner I could give him a friendly piece of advice on how to handle his finances....
Roger’s (2002) work is inclined towards an aim of understanding rather than changing the situation; thus, within the interpretive/critical continuum it can be precisely said it is “making sense of the way things are”. The research focuses on events being shaped up in the education life (that is, Vicky). The...
Defining an EBP Question The Evidence-Based Practice was developed to provide high-quality patient care. According to Dang and Dearholt (2017), “EBP integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential (patient and practitioner) evidence” (p. 4). Many problems could be examined and solved with the help of the...
Reliability is the measure that shows how often the research presented the same results after the same tests were done. The reliability of a test or research depends on its frequency and consistency. The results of the test or research are considered reliable in case if the same outcome was...
Strengths and Weaknesses of Definitions of Causation According to Parascandola and Weed (2001), there are several definitions of causations: “production, necessary causes, sufficient component causes, probabilistic causes and counterfactuals” (p. 906). However, while evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of diseases, it has been found that not all the definitions are...
The Goal of the Research The objective of the study was to find out whether an increase in SRT in complex responses was as a result of an increase in premotor time constituent, motor aspect or both (Christina & Rose, 1985). How the Goal Relates to My Research Any physical...
The toolkit presents a general framework, following which will enable efficient implementation of development programs. The basis of the framework is the concept of “knowledge exchange”, where the guidelines and the practical approaches in the toolkit are directed toward outlining the significance of the concept for the development program. The...
This paper tries to highlight the benefits that are derived by studying the topic of probability. More emphasis is put on the prior probability and the Bayes theorem. The application of Bayes’ theorem in everyday’s life and in school can never be underestimated. The lesson has brought insight into different...
Introduction Social science is an interdisciplinary field of study that seeks to explore aspects of human society. The fundamental roles of research in this field of study are not particularly hard to discern given the analytical approach it takes in its attempt to explore the aspects of human society. An...
The Goal of the Research The goal of the study was to look into memory drum theory’s projection that the increase in simple reaction time (SRT) was proportional to the complexity of the response to be instigated (Anson, 1982). How the Goal Relates to My Research The author hypothesized that...
Researchers Burns and Grove Burns and Grove (2009) define a critical appraisal of research as a “systematic, unbiased, careful examination of all aspects of a study to come up with the merits, limitations, meaning, and significance based on previous research experience and the knowledge of the topic” (p. 694). They...
Introduction Qualitative research has unique characteristics that set it apart from quantitative research. The fundamental difference between qualitative research and quantitative research is the nature of the data that each of them uses. While qualitative study deals with narrative data, the quantitative study deals with numerical data. In addition to...
The researchers wanted to develop a detailed study that explores and examines how mechanical ventilation guidelines in intensive care units are developed and disseminated in the Swedish health care system. In addition, the researchers wanted to examine how hospitals used evidence in mechanical ventilation and the respective guidelines in their...
Introduction, purpose, and significance of the study Singh, Nejadmalayeri & Mathur (2006) conducted a study titled “Performance impact of business group affiliation: An analysis of the diversification-performance link in a developing economy.” The main purpose of the research is to explore the performance of large and diversified Indian firms as...
Introduction Big Hole River Area of Block Mountain is situated in one of Montanas states – Madison Country. Currently Big Hole River area is surrounded by the Anaconda Range, the Beaverhead Range and the Pioneer Mountains. The mountain ranges have experienced Quaternary glaciations, which embedded the high location and hidden...
