Procedures For Carrying Out This Research

During the course of English 102 this semester, I analyzed, questioned, and made critical connections between sources by using my research, my sources, interpretation, analysis, and critique. Upon entering the class, I didn’t understand what an inquiry-based research essay was, and I didn’t see the distinction between this inquiry-based research project and other types of research I have done. However, through several modifications and suggestions from my classmates, instructor, and the Writing Center, I now understand what inquiry is, and how to employ it.

It was important at first to read through the data to digest the information. Then time was spent in thinking through the information gathered before reading through it again carefully. Through reading and rereading, 'implied meanings ' were gathered and links were found in the field notes and journals. The data was cross searched for patterns and dividing the data by type. Data was strengthened when it was repeated in more that one case and in more than one method (Soy, 2006).

Healthy People program has existed for the last three decades to provide science-based, 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans. Healthy People 2020 depict assessments of key risks to wellness and health. It has changed health priorities and issues related to preparedness and prevention of national’s health. The mission of Healthy People 2020 is to; identify nationwide health improvement priorities; increase public awareness and understanding of determinants of health, disease, disability, and opportunities for progress; provide measurable objectives and goals applicable at national, state, and local levels; engage multiple sectors to take actions to strengthen policies and improve practices that are driven by the best available evidence and knowledge; and identify critical research evaluation and data collection methods. The overarching goals of Healthy People 2020 are; attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease; achieve healthy equality, eliminate disparities; create social and physical environments that promote good health; promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across life stages (Committee on Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2020, 2011).

Psychologists use a variety of research methods in psychological investigations which help try to discover facts and data by using systematic and objective methods of investigation to support their psychological theory. Data can be collected in two forms; quantitative (in the form of numbers e.g. time) and qualitative (in a descriptive form e.g. verbal reports about how participants feel). In experimental investigations, the independent variable (IV) and dependant variable (DV) are investigated by changing the IV and observing the effects it might have on the DV. These experimental methods are usually carried out in the laboratory however, experiments can also be conducted outside the laboratory, such as field experiments and quasi experiments, whether naturalistic or controlled, methods are used by psychologists to reach conclusions on their hypothesis.

The term “social vulnerability” describes a fluid concept to the socioeconomic and demographic factors that can affect a population’s ability to mitigate risk. Vulnerability can be represented in a specific physical or geographic location, or those within a certain socioeconomic status, or demographic. The discussion of social vulnerability frequents the field of Disaster and Emergency Management, as it is an important factor in the planning and execution of mitigating possible risks that varying populations may face. Emergency managers in The United States of America use the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) which uses U.S. census data to help identify communities which need aid and support before, during and recovering from a hazardous event (http://svi.cdc.gov). The SVI explains that numerous factors can weaken a community’s ability to prevent risk, human suffering and financial loss in the event of a disaster. Such factors listed include; poverty, lack of access to transportation, and over-crowded housing. These components, among others make up the concept of “social vulnerability” (http://svi.cdc.gov).

The Natural disasters that have the possibility to occur in Duval county are wildfires, tornados, floods, hurricanes, and terrorist attacks, and the comprehensive emergency plan in Duval county does not elaborate the importance of families developing a family safety response plan to natural disasters and terror attacks. “Living in fear” is not the answer for the for surviving a natural or manmade disaster nor does ignoring it all together provides safety. However, terror attack, riots can not be quickly determined as natural disasters, therefore the preparation assists drastically in the event that one may occur. Citizens should have a clear understanding of the threat, threat location, and the elements of the environment because this information will tremendously improve the odds of survival. Implementing a family contingency plan for events such as natural disasters and terror attacks claims to be prudent by positioning families with knowledge, and essential articles that would improve the odds of protecting their lives and valuables.

The result indicated that 50 percent of the recipient has been unemployed for more than 21 months.

Quantitative means quantity which implies that there is something that can be counted. Quantitative research has been defined in many ways. It is the kind of research that involves the tallying, manipulation or systematic aggregation of quantities of data (Henning, 1986)

The purpose of this article by Samuelsson, (2010) is to examine the effects of two differently structured methods, traditional and problem-solving, of teaching children mathematical the first five years in school. Trying to determine the difference between boys and girl depending on the type of teaching method they received. Predicting those students in the non-textbook problem-solving group would show strength in all areas of mathematical proficiency except the procedural area. That is, they would perform significantly higher than the traditional group. The research questions were: Which teaching approach, traditional or problem solving is most effective for developing students’ mathematical proficiency? Do girls have the advantage over boys in a traditional teaching context? Do boys have the advantage over girls in problem-solving context? Girls were expected to have the advantages over boys in the traditional group, and that boys would have the advantages over girls in the problem-solving group. Students’ progress in conceptual understanding, strategic competence and adaptive reasoning a significant increase when teachers teach with a problem-based curriculum.

For my study I will have at minimum 20 participants in my independent variable group. All demographics will be allowed to participate in the mentioned study with the allotment that they’re of or above the age of 18 but under the age of 30 (because that’s when the supposed state of adolescence actually ends). My disposition is to create a Google survey and possibly post the link on twitter as well as sending out the survey to some classmates and students from different universities. Physical copies will be given to a number of my employees and members of my church. Individuals that complete my survey will be completely anonyms to me. Furthermore, because this is a completely voluntary survey, the participants will

People who prefer to stay in Manhattan would not prefer staying in New Jersey while those who prefer to stay in New Jersey would not stay in Manhattan as there is a negative correlation between them and the P value is less than 0.05 which states that it is significantly correlated. (p=0.009)

This research project was accomplished based on the information and data collected from Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) 2007. The main purpose of this research project is to discover and compare the high BMI risk among different marital status groups. For the past few years, the growth of obese and overweight individuals has become a huge crisis. Furthermore, the increase in BMI results in cardiovascular problems. According to a recent article, both married male and female have high BMI. There is a direct relationship and positive correlation existing between marital status and BMI. In general, married individuals especially those with kids, who are no longer concerned about attracting a mate and

Over the last few decades information technology has played an important role in Indian economy. It has affected all the industries especially the banking industry and has provided a way for the banks to differentiate their products and services. The traditional way of financial services delivered to customers called the branch based operations which had been used by the banks for more than 200 years, has been replaced by the advent of multiple technologies and application. For instance, Automated Teller Machine (ATM) displaced cashier tellers, telephone represented by call centers replaced the bank branch, the internet replaced mail, credit cards and electronic cash replaced bank transactions. The reason was the numerous key advantages that banks could gain by providing electronic banking services. In this way they had lower transactions cost, 24 hour trading, more extended business territory and also increased efficiency in daily banking process. The Banking Sector is also facing very stiff competition. In order to succeed such competition, they must offer a wide array of products with the latest technology. At present many banks and financial institutions are actively developing new electronic banking products for their customers throughout the world (Alagheband 2006) . The key players of banking industry are its customers and all the efforts made by the banks are to satisfy the desirable needs of
