...Methods and ethics This dissertation will be both literature based, looking at research that has been conducted by other researchers (Jesson et al, 2011:17), as well as also using primary and secondary research. The literature based element of the dissertation will be focusing on already existing literature that outlines and describes the justifications of the prison system. There are several useful resources, in the form of academic textbooks, journal articles, newspaper articles and internet resources that can be used to analyse the justifications of prison, and the problems that come with trying to achieve all these objectives in one institution. Secondary research, which “involves the summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing...

...Winters, M.A.1 Abstract ~ The current study questions whether the emotions that people associate with body postures change depending on how they are asked to identify the stimulus. The Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy Test of Posture (DANVA2POS) is used as the standard by which to rate people's agreement levels. Thirty participants were randomly allocated to 3 response conditions: A forced-choice option where participants chose from 4 emotions (happy, sad, angry, fearful), a forced-choice option with a "none of the above" option, and an open-ended option. Comparisons of the results indicate that the "none of the above" option produces significantly less agreement than the other forced-choice option, while the open-ended response format elicits even lesser agreement. 1: Department of Psychology, The New School for Social Research, New York, USA. Address correspondence to Allison Winters, afwinters@msn.com NSPB: 2005 - Vol. 3, No. 2 36 Perceptions of Body Posture Introduction To what extent do people agree on which emotions are associated with specific body postures? The literature suggests that people agree at above chance levels (Coulson, 2004; De Silva & Bianchi-Berthouze, 2004; Ekman, 1965; Ekman & Friesen, 1967; Pitterman & Nowicki, 2004; Schouwstra & Hoogstraten, 1995; Wallbott, 1998), based on studies that have asked participants to judge images of various body postures. The majority of the data gathered from these studies is based on the use of...

What is a literature review? 1 What it is not …. 1 Approaches needed …. 1 Approaching your review …. 2 Writing the review …. 3 What is a literature review? • • • Further reading …. 4 • It is a critical and evaluative account of what has been published on a chosen research topic. Its purpose is to summarise, synthesise and analyse the arguments of others. (It is not an academic research paper, the main purpose of which is to support your own argument.) You should describe and analyse the knowledge that exists and what gaps occur in research related to your field of interest. (This should clarify the relationship between your own research and the work that has previously been done.) It should reveal similarities and differences, consistencies and inconsistencies and controversies in previous research. What it is not It is not primarily an argument for the importance of what it is you are researching. While it is necessary to explain what is the primary purpose of your research, the reader of a literature review will assume that the need for undertaking the research has already been established. It is not a descriptive list of papers or summaries. You must not just list your sources and describe them in detail one at a time. A literature review is organised around ideas, not the sources themselves as an annotated bibliography would be organised. You should...

...A printed action memo is a form that only requires a check mark filled in the correct square to relay the message. A technical report (also: scientific report) is a document that describes the process, progress, or results of technical or scientific research or the state of a technical or scientific research problem. It might also include recommendations and conclusions of the research. Unlike other scientific literature, such as scientific journals and the proceedings of some academic conferences, technical reports rarely undergo comprehensive independent peer review before publication. They may be considered as grey literature. Where there is a review process, it is often limited to within the originating organization. Similarly, there are no formal publishing procedures for such reports, except where established locally. Description Technical reports are today a major source of scientific and technical information. They are prepared for internal or wider distribution by many organizations, most of which lack the extensive editing and printing facilities of commercial publishers. Technical reports are often prepared for sponsors of research projects. Another case where a technical report may be produced is when more information is produced for an academic paper than is acceptable or feasible to publish in a peer-reviewed publication; examples of this include in-depth experimental details, additional results, or the architecture of a computer model. Researchers may also...

...Department (RCFD) have left for various reasons. The problem is that because of a reduced personnel budget the department has not been allowed to replace all of the members that have left. The ensuing reduction in staffing has resulted in a fire station closure and a reduction in customer service. Operationally this reduction has resulted in increased response times, reductions of vehicle staffing and increases in overtime. The purpose of this paper was to identify why personnel were leaving the department and to suggest ways to improve employee retention. Descriptive and evaluative research methods were utilized to answer the following research questions: 1. 2. 3. Why have members left the Range Complex Fire Department? In general, why do employees leave the fire organizations they work for? What does the upper management team of the RCFD believe are the reasons personnel are leaving the department? 4. What retention programs are used by other federal fire departments? To identify why employees were leaving the RCFD nine interviews were conducted with former employees that had left the department in the last five years. A literature review was conducted to locate information on why employees leave organizations. Seven interviews were conducted with the upper management team of the RCFD to find out why they believed personnel were leaving the department. To identify retention programs within other federal fire departments an interview was conducted with the Chief of Fire Protection...
