...Three Abbreviated Research Plans Introduction This paper demonstrates research methods that are used in investigations of health disparities in the United States. Research is a process of investigating concepts and theories that will contribute to a scientific body of knowledge. When presented with a problem, researchers or healthcare specialist can use a quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods approach to solutions or explore avenues that might improve health, health outcomes and health services (Bowling, 2002). As health disparities grow in the United States and research is ongoing, three abbreviated research plans are presented as probable solutions to this concern targeting communities and populations that are underserved. Comparison and Evaluation of Strengths and Limitations of Research Methods Used in These Abbreviated Plans Research is an organized investigation to explain, describe, and control an observed phenomenon that involves inductive and deductive methods. Researchers will use a quantitative research design to verify that the research method used is valid and will produce accurate scientific results (Vidgen, n.d.). The strengths involved in using the quantitative research method can test and validate theories that have been already formed about why and how phenomena occur. Quantitative research allows the researcher to measure and analyze data that is précis which may help eliminate the influence of many variables and allow more reliable cause-and-effect...

...Abbreviated Qualitative Research Plan Introduction Stress is the result of emotional, physical, social, economic, or other factors that require a change in one’s behavior, thought process, environment, or response. Robbins & Judge, (2008), defines stress as, “a dynamic condition in which one is confronted with an opportunity, constraint or demand related to what he wishes and for which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important”. This definition can be broken down into three dimensions, as followed: 1) Environmental (stressors), 2) adaptive responses, and 3) individual differences Robbins et al. (2008). In essence, stress can be looked at from three different viewpoints; 1) Medical, 2) clinical, and 3) organization. Stress in the workplace has been recognized throughout the world in the workplace as a major challenge. Stress in the workplace has been noted to adversely impact on the employees’ psychological and physical health, as well as the effectiveness within organizations. Purpose Statement The purpose of this study is to determine is stress among the employee’s existed. If so, the nature, the causes, and related aspects. Stress causes health concerns both physically and emotionally. This is to reduce and/or eliminate stress in the workplace. The study will focus on two primary objectives: 1. To determine what management and employers can do to reduce stress while at work 2. To establish a program which will provide training for...

...Main Ideas Over the last decade, cognitive enhancing prescription drug usage among college students has risen dramatically. Cognitive enhancing drugs like Adderall, are used to treat patients with attention hyperactive deficient disorder. There had been other studies on the effect of cognitive enhancing drugs on creativity, but each study contradicted another study done before it. So, authors Martha J. Farah, Caroline Haimm, Geena Sankoorikal, and Anjan Chatterjee decided to conduct an experimental study into the effects of cognitive enhancing drugs on creativity. Research Method The research method used in this study was experimental. More specifically, the researchers used a method called a double-blind placebo-controlled study. The advantages of an experimental study is that the researchers can control certain variables within the control group. The controlling of variables allow the researchers to draw conclusion on the cause and effects of the study. A double-blind placebo-controlled study follow a strict set of procedures that enable researchers and peers to conclude that the data collect is accurate and reliable. In this form of study, neither party knows which individuals will be receiving the drug and who won’t be. The researchers took sixteen individuals, four men and twelve were women, all between the ages of twenty one and thirty. Researchers made sure that known of the individuals in the study had a history of psychiatric or neurological disorders....

Hypothermia and Diving Reflex 2 ABSTRACT This paper reviews the contributions of hypothermia and the mammalian diving reflex (MDR) to human survival of cold-water immersion incidents. It also examines the relationship between the victim's age and MDR and considers the protective role played by hypothermia. Hypothermia is the result of a reduced metabolic rate and lowered oxygen consumption by body tissues. Although hypothermia may produce fatal cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation, it is also associated with bradycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction, both of which enhance oxygen supply to the heart and brain. The MDR also causes bradycardia and reduced peripheral blood flow as well as laryngospasm, which protects victims against rapid inhalation of water. Studies of drowning and near drowning of children and adults suggest that victim survival depends on the presence of both hypothermia and the MDR, as neither alone can provide adequate cerebral protection during long periods of hypoxia. Future research is suggested to improve patient care. INTRODUCTION Drowning and near-drowning incidents are leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both children 1 and adults...

...dark for years before autism is properly diagnosed and treated. Recently, new research is helping people get a greater understanding of the causes and nature of the disorder, which should lead to better treatment for kids. New information also shows that early diagnosis is very important, and that several genes may be involved. Genetic studies along with imaging studies may lead to biologically based diagnostic techniques that could help speed detection and allow early, more effective intervention (Briggs, 2006). This paper will talk about the genetic make-up of the disease, how many children suffer from Autism, characteristics, diagnosis, causes, symptoms, and treatments. My goal is to tell people more about this terrible disease that affects thousands of children. Introduction What is Autism? Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior (Ardnt, 2005). These signs all start to happen before a child is three years old. Autism affects information processing in the brain by changing how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize (Levitt, 2005). It is one of three recognized disorders in the autism spectrum (ASDs), the other two are Asperger syndrome, which slows down cognitive development and language, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (commonly abbreviated as PDD-NOS), which is spotted when the full set of principles for autism or Asperger...

...In our presentation we are going to discuss Citing Periodical Print Publication (Magazine). But before we start we need to know what is periodical, which things can be called periodicals and what do we understand by magazine. Periodical: A publication issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly. * Daily Newspapers * Monthly Magazines * Bi-Monthly (Two Months) * Quarterly (Every three months) * Semi-Annual (Every Six months) Magazine: Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. Example: McEvoy, Dermot. “Little Books, Big Success.” Publishers Weekly 30 Oct. 2006: 26-28 Print. Citing an article in a magazine using MLA: To cite a magazine published every week or every two weeks, we have to give the full date followed by a colon, the inclusive page numbers of the article and the medium of publication consulted. If the article is not printed on consecutive pages, we have to write only the first page number with a plus (+) sign, leaving no intervening space. We...

...face to face interaction. Technology has become the new face to interact with one another. The theory on this observation is the social behavior perspective. This theory explains how people interact with the environment. Even when they are in groups dung lunch most of them are on their cell phones. Student's face to face communication is fading by the frequency of texting, not merely in the sense that they speak is becoming abbreviated but the focus associated with talking is becoming distracted and scarce. BACKGROUND: “From a survey 800 American young people between ages 12 and17 regarding their use of mobile phones . The researchers report that half of the teens were sending 50 or more messages a day , with older teenage girls sending an average of 100 messages daily”. (Chin, Jen, Fan, 2013). Clearly, text messaging on mobile phones is an important element in the lives of many American teenagers, though voice calls remain part of their communication patterns as well. Even before the epidemic of mobile phone use in the U.S. , international research documents the pervasive use of mobile phones by teenagers and young adults in other parts of the world. Cell phones have permitted Americans to travel with technology everywhere they go. Mobile phones are quickly growing technology all over...
