The first two examples demonstrate content questioning. Example 3 shows how multi-coding can be done, while Example 4 covers the use of software in automatic content analysis. Example 1: TV violence An "interview" with a violent episode in a TV program might "ask" it questions such as: How long did you last, in minutes and seconds? What program were you shown on? On what channel, what date, and what time? Was that program local or imported? Series or one-off? What was the nature of the violent action? How graphic or realistic was the violence? What were the effects of the violence on the victim/s? Who did the violent act: heroes or villains? Men or women? Young or old? People of high or low social status? 9. Who was the victim/s: heroes or villains? Men or women? (etc.) 10. To what extent did the violent action seem provoked or justified? ...and so on. All the answers to the questions are available from watching the program. Notice that some of the criteria are subjective (e.g. the last one). Instead of relying on a single person's opinion on such criteria, it's usual to have several "judges" and record the average rating, often on a scale out of 10. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Example 2: Newspaper coverage of asylum seekers I’m working on a project that involves media content analysis...

...Stephen Mannar Instructor: NRS -433V Nursing Research December 11, 2011 Caring Science | Sources 1. Legitimizing basic research by evaluating quality.Abstract:The aim of this study was to use ethical arguments to strengthen the relationship between the concepts of legitimacy and evaluation. The analysis is based on the ethics of Levinas and Buber and is motivated by a sense of responsibility using dialogical ideology as a mediator. The main questions in this study consider the following: Does caring science as an independent academic discipline have the moral responsibility to develop a theory for evaluating the quality of basic research? and Will such a quality evaluation theory have a reasonable probability of introducing legitimization into caring science? On an ethical level, this study introduces a meaningful interaction inspired by social demands and is linked to the concept of research justification. Legitimization turns from an abstract idea to an achievable entity by an act. The act of evaluation has the likelihood of delegating legitimacy and empowers the foundation of caring science, which in turn will become a cornerstone of nursing. At this stage there is no intention to develop an evaluation theory, rather to create a meaningful discussion for the future development of an ethics-based theory.2. Watson's caring science as a framework...

...companies have various discount options depends on vehicle equipment, driving history and habits, driver's education and affiliation for their policy holders, yet young drivers who aged 24 and less pay approximately double price of other aged drivers because insurance companies recognize young drivers as high risky drivers. This study will qualitatively and quantitatively examine the level of risky driving behavior by aged groups with 400 samples. Then, the research will define the relationship between risky driving behavior and young drivers aged 24 and under. Additionally, the study assume that there is relationship between risky driving behavior and drivers experience. Keywords: young driver, insurance, risky driver, novice driver, car crash, expensive I. Statement of the problem In 2011, there are approximately 211.87 million licensed drivers in the U.S. and its rate is 84.6 percent of total U.S. population.

...MSP 10 Project Management with PERT/CPM One of the most challenging jobs that any manager can take on is the management of a large-scale project that requires coordinating numerous activities throughout the organization. A myriad of details must be considered in planning how to coordinate all these activities, in developing a realistic schedule, and then in monitoring the progress of the project. Fortunately, two closely related operations research techniques, PERT (program evaluation and review technique) and CPM (critical path method), are available to assist the project manager in carrying out these responsibilities. These techniques make heavy use of networks (as introduced in the preceding chapter) to help plan and display the coordination of all the activities. They also normally use a software package to deal with all the data needed to develop schedule information and then to monitor the progress of the project. Project management software, such as MS Project in your OR Courseware, now is widely available for these purposes. PERT and CPM have been used for a variety of projects, including the following types. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Construction of a new plant Research and development of a new product NASA space exploration projects Movie productions Building a ship Government-sponsored projects for developing a new weapons system Relocation of a major facility Maintenance of a nuclear reactor Installation of a management information system Conducting an advertising...

The future may be even worse. With distributed programming platforms such as .NET, combine with Microsoft’s Windows platform the potential for viruses is even greater. II. OVERVIEW OF THREATS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE On the surface, the vulnerability of wireless devices to viruses and malicious code threats appears to follow the same patterns of vulnerabilities that the wired world has experienced. Yet, upon closer inspection, the vulnerabilities are more numerous and complex and can be categorized into three groups: • Application-based threats • Content-based threats • Mixed threats...

...Information Systems Proposal Vinyls N’ Such Tyrone Bigsby Table of Contents: Summary and Outline Chapter One: Transaction Processing Systems Chapter Two: Office Support Systems Chapter Three: Management Information Systems Chapter Four: Decision Support Systems Chapter Five: Executive Support Systems Summary In this business proposal, I will describe five different types of information systems so that my partner has a better understanding of the information systems and what it does for our business. In this business, with it being retail, there are very important things to consider. For example, we must stick to a budget and I feel as if the decision support system will work as our “what-if” analysis of any changes in the budget. Also, we will need a checkout point-of-sale terminal and the transaction processing system will process transaction data from business events. The other three information systems I will cover are management support system, executive support system and office support system. 1) Chapter One: Transaction Processing Systems a) Function-processes transaction data from business events i) Examples ii) Pros-provides point-of-sale terminal iii) Cons-these types of terminals can crash 2) Chapter Two: Office Support Systems a) Function-supports daily work activities of groups and individuals i) Examples ii) Pros-provides structure iii) Cons-purchasing the software...
