...From my research on this particular topic, it is clear that there is more and more work and effort going into researching the benefits of Pretend Play in the lives of young children. I decided to base my research on this topic as it is a vital part of the child’s learning and development and it is a part of a child’s life on a daily basis from almost the minute they are born. Pretend play is partially based on what children experience in their lives and then they imitate this by engaging in pretend play. They pick...

The graded unit 3 project will consist of 3 stages which are the preparation, Development and evaluation stages. The reason I have chosen to research the barriers is to find out the barriers that have been affecting people participate in sports activity classes and because it’s been a real passion of mine as there was barriers that had a major effect on me with travelling and lack of motivation being the problem for me. Barriers that many people have affected participation include injuries, not got enough money or motivation levels are lacking (Wolfe, 2017).

...the RAP guidelines provided by Oxford Brookes University, as soon as I came across this topic, I instantly decided to work on it for my research project after having discussed it with my mentor. As far as selection of the company is concerned, I felt that Coca-Cola being an international brand that has gained loyalty among the masses, could actually be of great interest to base my research on. Moreover, I personally knew a relative of mine who is currently an employee at Coca-Cola. He had told me that the company’s human resource department since the past few years has been doing a lot to increase employee motivation and commitment towards the organization. According to its official website, the company has a portfolio of over 3,300 products, among which the popular ones are Coca Cola soft drink, Sprite, Fanta, Diet Coke, Minute Maid juice, Aquarius mineral water and POWERADE energy drink. The company is currently striving to research on low calorie products and to substitute sweeteners in place of sugar considering the fact the people have now become more health conscious towards their diet. Moreover, Coca-Cola had revenue generation of $8.7 billion in the year 2010 and has targeted to achieve $500 million annual sales by the end of 2011 (Alazraki, 2010). Other than that, I had studied about different motivational theories in text books during my school life, so applying it to a global...

...Research Project Management Key Concepts Dr Robin Henderson robin@myconsultants.net Research Project Management - Key Concepts © My Consultants Ltd 2010 Introduction The successful management of a research project depends upon the researchers ability to plan, coordinate and perform the research. Many researchers do not formally manage their research and whilst this does not necessarily mean that the research will not be completed successfully this approach has impacts on the staff whom are involved in the project. For example an unplanned approach can often lead to stress in members of the research team, crises management when deadlines are not effectively managed and the lack of time within the research to deliver effective outcomes for all the staff involved in the project. This short document outlines some of the key tools which you can utilise within research contracts to lead to more successful outcomes. Clearly understanding what success means for your project. The starting point for managing a project effectively is to have a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve. A simple model to start to explore this is to distinguish between outputs and outcomes. Outputs are the physical deliverables of the project Outcomes are what happens as a result of the outputs For example in a clinical based trial the output could be a paper with the related outcome being the changes in clinical practise. The starting point for a project is to define what the desired outcomes...

Having a bicycle escalated my interest in machines as I used to learn from local mechanical workshops and tried to repair myself. After graduating high school with distinction marks, I prepared myself to apply one of the two universities which taught Mechanical Engineering course in my country. My exposure to Mechanical Engineering began after I enrolled in Kathmandu University with the scholarship provided by The Ministry of General Administration of The Government of Nepal. Various courses like Theory of Machines, Machine Design, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Hydraulic Machines etc. helped me learn the fundamentals of engineering with...

...University GM505 Action Research and Consulting Skills March 21, 2014 Professor Dr. Barbara-Leigh Tonelli Introduction The purpose of this paper is to discuss the responsibilities of each stakeholder as the action research project proceeds and concludes. A responsibility chart is a helpful tool as it focuses the participants on the details of the action research project while keeping in mind the overall goal which is to resolve the problem through change. We must do a responsibility chart when doing an action research project because it can help “clarify any confusion, assumptions and misunderstandings about ‘who does what', makes sure that someone is responsible for each task, identifies who needs to be given communication about each task and prevent duplication of effort (Quality and Service Improvement Tools: Responsibility Charting, 2008, p. 1).” Decisions and Responsibilities There are three stakeholders involved in this action research project as indicated in the Responsibility Chart (Appendix). As the facilitator, I took on the responsibility for initiating the starting conversation for the employee morale and retention at FedEx Office. Since the project is under my leadership, my stakeholders are following my lead but they are also giving their opinion as well as helping with interviews and data collection. Though I was the one initiating the actions the stakeholders were a huge part of the process as well. The first step of the project was to have an...

...How childhood abuse can impact on the child Abstract “Child abuse is the term used when an adult harms a child or a young person under the age of 18. Abuse is always wrong and it is never the child/young person’s fault” (NSPCC) Child abuse can come in many forms like the physical maltreatment to sexual molestation. Child abuse can result in actual or potential harm to a child in many ways such as their development, health, dignity etc. It can occur because of many reasons. The parent/guardian may have a lack of support if they are just one family i.e. no extended or huge family to help, the child’s guardian may feel isolated. Another reason why it can occur is stress. If there are financial issues, work-related stress, medical problems etc. this can cause a parent/guardian to lash out and resort to abuse. If the child has a disability, the parent/guarding may find this very stressful and abuse the child. A big issue that can cause child abuse is drug or alcohol intake. This can affect how an individual acts and thinks so this may limit a parent's ability to meet their children's needs. Lastly, another harm to a child in many ways such as their development, health, dignity etc. It can occur because of many reasons.

...essay is three years ago. In order to apply for universities in America, I should take the SAT test. In the test, the hardest part for me is writing. At that time, I realized that writing is never easy for an international student. It is a big challenge to write an academic paper by using the second language. The argument, thesis, word choices and grammar always bother me. However, I know that writing is the most important skill for a college student, so I never stop practicing and improving it. I took a writing class 20C and 39A in my first year. Both of them helped me a lot to improve writing skills. Last quarter, I took 39B, which was my first time to know rhetorical writing. When I take writing 39C this quarter, I learn deeply about the rhetorical and research...

...Institute’s mission statement and values mirror my own professional and personal objectives. Having lost one parent to a disaster, the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011, and nearly losing the other when Hurricane Charley impacted central Florida in 2004, my life is dedicated to understanding the many components of community vulnerability to natural and technological hazards and working to mitigate these issues. For post-disaster communities, I focus on the recovery process; what factors expedite or hinder recovery, how communities define recovery, and how to improve the recovery process for future disasters. As an applied, cultural anthropologist, I employ ethnographic field methods to look beyond demographic and census information and identify cultural practices and worldviews that influence human interactions with their environment, how communities and cultural groups apply meaning to traumatic events, and how they select which risks to address and which to ignore. Scheduled to defend my doctoral thesis on June 3, 2016, I will soon have my Ph.D. in cultural anthropology with a specialization in disasters. Examining the resilience of Joplin, Missouri over the past five years of recovery, as noted by their receipt of the Rick Rescorla...
