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

The study analysed is a prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial investigating the outcome of Standardbred racehorses diagnosed with midbody suspensory ligament desmitis (MSD) and treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) followed by a program of gradually increasing exercise. A clear hypothesis is not evident, with the objective being to determine the outcome of the treatment in case horses. The abstract does not explain that the ‘outcome’ investigated in the study is the racing performance of the

Generally, these concerns then bring to light the recurring issue around the concept of reproducibility within the scientific community. According to those who participated in the Open Science Collaboration (2012) research paper, reproducibility is the process of “obtaining a meaningful estimate of reproducibility requires conducting replications of a sizable number of studies” (p. 658). The Econmist’s (2013) article acknowledges reproducibility as a core principle of science, which expresses that:

In this part of the practicum, I will discuss a child with a special need who use a communication device. The device is not needed in the classroom but the speech therapist uses one with him during their sessions. The observation started in the classroom and ended in the resource lounge.

1. The first independent variable is the different luminance cues which included light, equiliminant and dark conditions, and the second independent variable was the target location either positioned on the same side (valid trial) or at an opposite location (invalid trial). The dependent variables include the reaction times of participants measured in milliseconds and the responses recorded for stimuli identification. 2. Specifically, a limitation is that the researcher only used green and red hues
