Literature Review

As a way to recognize areas of opportunity, I will request to have my next small and large group presentations video-taped. Video-taping the presentation will allow for personal reflection and recognition of strengths and weaknesses. I will ask a co-worker to keep track of how many ahs and ums I use and set a personal goal for eliminating these from any of my verbal presentations. I will also begin using the audience analysis worksheet provided in the textbook (Haynes, 2016, pp. 144-146). This advance planning will allow me to be better prepared for the larger group presentations. Allowing more time for practice and rehearsals will also allow for a more fluid presentation and perhaps even get me to move away from the podium every once in a

This review has got several limitations which authors also acknowledge. Apart from the heterogeneity discussed above, only RCTs compared the thromboprophylaxis methods. This is a major flaw in the review. All-cause mortality is not a good parameter due to the fact major abdominal surgery, age and cancer would be major contributory factors. Disease specific mortality would have been the most appropriate parameter. However, given the small abount of reported PE related mortalities within the considered studies lack the statistical to power. It is also questionable how the authors only managed to consider 3 RCTs. Lack of online database search could be a reason. Considering the 3 RCTs mainly, overall VTE prophylcatic effect of ETP derrived

Literature reviews can be of great benefit to social work practitioners. According to the Health and Care Profession’s Council’s standards of proficiency for social workers, practitioners must ‘be able to engage in evidence-informed practice’ (HCPC, 2017. p.11). This evidence includes research knowledge (Webber, 2014). The requirement for practitioners to draw on knowledge from developments in policy, practice and research is also reflected in the Professional Capabilities Framework for Social workers in England (The British Association of Social Work, 2012). Exploring research papers can assist with this process but with the increasing amount of published research reports, one can be overwhelmed by the amount of papers to digest and consider its application (Aveyard, 2014). As a literature review gives a clear picture of all the relevant literature on a specific topic, it proves a more convenient strategy for learning about the current context regarding an area of interest. Furthermore, Webber explains that research evidence is important for social work practice as it informs our knowledge on what works and does not work for service users (2014). This suggests that practitioners should endeavour to stay up to date with their knowledge of developments in social work as part of their professional development in order to ensure they can practice effectively with service users.

A literature review conducted by Guccuardi et al. (2013) found that all 13 randomized control trials and comparative studies have affirmative rate differences in culturally based diabetes self-management education when compared to general diabetes education. Lorig et al. (2008) conducted a randomized, controlled trial of the community-based, peer led Spanish Diabetes Self-Management Program (SDSMP) to determine its effectiveness in improving health status, health behaviors, and self-efficacy and maintaining improvements on receiving automated telephone reinforcement. For the study, 533 Spanish-speaking adults with T2DM were provided a 6-week community-based, peer-led SDSMP and participants were randomized into 3 groups – 116 to the SDSMP

The sample of cases have been chosen based upon availability of published academic data; this is yet another drawback of the nature of the field and highlights a need for further research on the subject area. Though there has been an increase in female home-grown radicalisation, the numbers of actual cases of female terrorism are low which means there is not much choice when it comes to picking case studies. Also, as the research area is a fairly recent phenomenon, there are significant gaps in knowledge and so available, academic literature is farce (Qazi, 2011). This reflection may present a problem with the discussions in this literature as the cases are not as detailed as one would

Alcohol related problems is one of today’s contemporary issues, as there are studies that suggest that due to alcohol related problems there are various impacts that it can have to an individual, and it can include social harms and any antisocial behaviour, such as alcohol fuelled violence. This literature review will explore the academic readings, that help assist identity key issues relating to a criminology perspective of alcohol related problems. Ergo, based on past research from the academic readings this literature review will explore prevention strategies that help reduce social harm to the individual and the community, and also the consequences that alcohol can lead to. Also, this

The academic journal called, “Use of simulation training to prepare pharmacy residents for medical emergencies” is from the medical school using a simulation training to prepare pharmacy residents for various high stress and high impact of medical knowledge by showing their perception of preparation. During the 2015-2016 at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the simulation training and lecture-base orientation training was the method to strengthen the skill and the knowledge throughout the learning from orientation. There are three different simulation exercises that were used to cover the five-selected topics over the course of three different days. The first section was named sepsis. The second section was named surgical-themed

Greater effects of high- compared with moderate-intensity interval training on cardio-metabolic variables, blood leptin concentration and rating of perceived exertion in obese adolescent females was published in 2015. To the best of the researcher’s knowledge, this kind of study has not been done before and hypothesized that the HIIT would produce a more improvement in leptin levels, cardiorespiratory fitness and the participant’s rate of perceived exertion (RPE) after a HIIT workout. Their methods and procedures were similar to other studies completed.

Body language is the postures, facial expressions, and gestures we make to communicate. Body language can be used in place of words or it can be accompanied by spoken language. This form of language allows those involved in a conversation to understand communication with others more easily and effectively. The way a person stands, moves and focuses their attention allows others to notice and understand how the person feels in a situation. If someone is not comfortable in a situation, they may say they are comfortable, but could look down, keep their feet together or crossed, and they may hold their arms close to their body. This signals to the others that this person is not comfortable. Employee interactions with customers and other employees is unique in that their interactions with customers are very different from their interactions with each other. While conducting research on employee interactions at an apple orchard in central Maine on a Saturday and Sunday morning, I asked myself the following questions: What type of body language was used while communicating with the customer? What gestures did the employee and the customer make? How was this different from the body language and gestures made between co-workers? These questions are essential to the research, because asking the questions during observations allows for more accurate and detailed observation. The questions guide the research and keeps it focused on the movements of the chosen

The article’s title to this study gives a very broad and catching description of a subject that has been going since the early 2000’s. However, this study takes a different approach by limiting the data to Computed Tomography results. While it does state that there are variables (diverse effects), the title itself does not go into depth on these and thus does not limit the scope of the variables. Regarding the population in this study, this is addressed in the title (Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury). This allows the study to be broad and does not limit it do a set demographic group such as adults versus children or men versus women.

The term brand equity refers to the incremental value added by a brand name to a product (Pappu et al., 2011, cited in Farquhar, 1989). Celebrity Endorsements could be when there were consumer attachments to the popular figure who, which represented the products or services of the brands. Brands are popularised by different marketing techniques that navigate how the brand accumulates loyalty and trust amongst its consumer market (Chaudhuri & Holbrook, 2001). Even though a brand has the possibility of branching out and creating product categories to balance its products within the brand, it is unable to perform the same action with a celebrity endorsement with that particular brand (Silvera &

For the purpose of this study this literature review will analyze improving student attendance through building a family connection through parental involvement. If students are in school on time everyday then learning takes place. By building a family connection which highlights the importance of attendance, this will lead to improving student performance on standardized test, Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment Systems/Scholastic Reading Inventory (MCAS/SRI). Decreasing the rate of student truancy and absenteeism has been and continues to be the goal of

Earnings management has attracted increasingly more attention in recent years, especially since it became calculable through the Jones model (1991). Earning, as one of the most significant indicators of the firm’s financial performance, conveys huge amount of information to the creditors, shareholders, suppliers as well as the customers, and thus exerts a great influence on their further decisions. As a consequence, managers have different incentives to manage earnings information, such as to convey more inside information about the firm to the public, meet analysts’ expectations, seek for the managers’ own profit, and avoid the debt covenant.
