Introduction and Rationale for Conducting the Research

Sources cited must be relevant, comprehensive and current as to provide evidence that the study conducted was necessary (Burns & Grove, 2011). Walker cited both quantitative and qualitative studies to describe current knowledge of the problem and need for additional research. The literature was effective and relevant to the focus of the research study. The author used literature to build a logical argument in the introduction and complement the findings of the study in the discussion. Available studies were not evaluated nor were weaknesses indicated.

Following the introduction, the authors continue into a review of literature in which the cited sources addressed relevance to the study’s variables. The review of literature consisted mainly of primary and current sources, with no citations preceding the article by five years. It is within this section of the article where the authors chose to further discuss the previous research conducted on the variables and how the variables have

METHODOLOGY: The paper was a qualitative review utilizing mostly correlational methods and containing both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.

The literature review discusses numerous previous studies on the subject matter and references 11 others containing both qualitative and quantitative research giving a broad background into the study. The vast majority of previous studies appear to be of a quantitative nature which adds validity to the alternative qualitative approach chosen for this study.

There are ten scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles selected for the preliminary literature review and they are summarized below. The relevance of the articles and the research findings, research design and methods are included below.

When comparing this article to a good literature review, it successfully provides an adequate overview of previous research done and uses it to enhance the project at hand. When evaluating the quality and relevance of this article, Martins and Jensen do an admirable job communicating the purpose of research to the reader and organizing its literature review. The data from other studies is in chronological order and are structured from broader studies to more specific ones which is seen when the sources are cited. An analysis was provided after presenting the findings from previous studies and the authors were able to communicate how those studies influenced their own research. As a whole, the literature review was well organized by key ideas and topics that logically lead to the research Martins and Jensen were

Select three to five research studies which investigate the particular topic above. Write a short summary of each of the studies.

This chapter introduces the objective of the research question, the subject matter, the background, and hypotheses for this quantitative research project.

The primary purpose of the literature review is to define the research question and identify the appropriate methods of data collection (Coughlan et al., 2007,

Every few years there are reports of Salmonella in the poultry at local food markets. Humans can become infected with diseases via air, beef, chicken, fish, eggs, and crops and water that contain animal feces. Humans that are infected experience flu-like symptoms, and sometimes death. “Deleener and Haebaert showed that the ferequency and variation of the different isolated salmonella-stereotypes from asymptomatic carriers in a meat packing plant corresponded with the stereotypes isolated from the supplied meat and from the produced meat products (Deleener J, Haebaert K. Enquete sur la role joue dans propagation de Salmonella et Shingella par les porteurs de germes dans I’industrie de la viande. Med Mal Infect 1980; 10:

Salmonella can pass through the entire food chain from animal feed, primary production, and all the way to households or food-service establishments and institutions (WHO). The great majority of sporadic cases and outbreaks of salmonellosis is caused by contaminated food (Scallan et al., 2011). Apart from the usual suspects like poultry, pork, or egg products, the role of ready-to-eat products is increasingly recognised. This is of particular concern when contamination with Salmonella cannot be excluded and the food is consumed without further heat

Infections with Salmonella species represent a significant public health problem due to their large and varied animal reservoir, presence of human and animal carrier states, as well as the lack of coordinated programs for control. Although cases of human salmonellosis have been steadily declining since 1995, it still remains one of the most important human food-borne diseases.

For this research assignment, the selected movie was As Good as It Gets. The author of this paper will provide an examination of the abnormalities of Jack Nicholson’s character Melvin Udall. The purpose of this paper is to investigate to the extent of which Melvin’s abnormalities correlate to the DSM-5 description of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Further evaluation includes discussing the portrayal, etiology, prognosis, and proper therapeutic approaches for the OCD symptoms exhibited by Melvin. Additionally, the author of this paper will analyze and provide a personal reflection on the knowledge gained from this extensive research of OCD. Conclusively, the author of this paper seeks for an extended understanding of OCD

The title includes the key elements of what will be discussed in the article addressing both the subject and who will participate in the study. The abstract provided the reader with a clear overview of what would be discussed, the method used to conduct the research, the research results and the conclusion. The abstract did provide information that would be beneficial in assisting with further research, as well as provided a clear and concise overview,

The procedures for carrying out this research were concentrated on satisfying the following three questions: (a) What are the risks facing the residents in the Largo Fire Rescue response district? (b) What is the likelihood of each risk? (c) What is the severity potential of each risk? Initial research began during the fall of 2015 while completing the pre-course work for the National Fire Academy’s February 2016 Executive Analysis of Community Risk Reduction course. This included using census data to build a demographic profile of the Largo Fire Rescue response district, which consisted of the total population of the community, its geographical size, and the presence and distribution of races, cultures, age groups, and socioeconomic levels. Other areas investigated were economic drivers that support the community’s tax base such as key businesses and industries. Additionally, problematic social issues were examined such as educational levels, crime/violence, gangs, unemployment, and substance abuse.
