Summary Observational Research

One of this weeks supplementary readings by Jacobs focused on target selection. This target selection was quite specific as it was looking at which qualities are preferred of drug dealers when selecting which one to burglarize. The article discussed some characteristics that would be more encouraging of them to burglarize the drug dealer along with some qualities that would deter them away.

Genomic DNA is heterogenrous because it shows 2 fragments on 2% agarose gel which come from parents, mom and dad. Moreover, the tandem repeats(n) is within the standard limit (14-41) of heterogenic DNA. So, the sample is heteregenerous.

After hypothesis testing was completed, the results led me to look into several other areas. The CTQ, being composed of three different types of adverse stimuli, physical, emotional, and sexual, was split up into its respective areas in order to investigate if there was any significance within the CTQ compared to the ROI. The physical abuse and physical neglect were added together to create the total physical CTQ score, and the same was done to the emotional category. The sexual abuse category was not investigated further because often there is little variability as well as the fact that the mean score for the group was not much higher than the minimum possible score.

The retrospective observational study was performed in Great Ormond Street Hospital. All admissions to the critical care services over a 9 year period (March 2003-December 2011) were included for analysis. Repeat admissions were excluded. The prevalence of 'extreme hypoxaemia' was explored. 'Extreme hypoxaemia' was defined as admission $PaO_{2}$ $< 2.67$ kPa (20 mmHg). This threshold was chosen from reported literature.\cite{Anonymous:2013vh}\cite{Grocott:2009jj}\\

Figure 1 Gel Electrophoresis for Replication Taster PTC. The gel is composed of an ethidium bromide stained 3% agarose gel demonstrating DNA fragments which were a depiction of PCR amplification. The agarose gel contains nine loading samples, including from left to right, the MW marker lane 1 precision mol mass standard, lane 2 TB undigested PTC (5µl of DNA, 5µl of master mix P, and 2.5µl of loading dye), lane 3 TB digested PTC (5µl of DNA, 5µl of master mix P, 2µl Fnu4HI, and 3µl of loading dye), lane 4 TB A(L)DH G (10µl DNA, 10µl master mix G, and 5µl loading dye), lane 5 TB A(L)DH A (10µl DNA, 10µl master mix A, and 5µl loading dye), lane 6 MG undigested PTC (5µl of DNA, 5µl of master mix P, and 2.5µl of loading dye), lane 7 MG digested PTC (5µl of DNA, 5µl of master mix P, 2µl Fnu4HI, and 3µl of loading dye), lane 8 MG A(L)DH G (10µl DNA, 10µl master mix G, and 5µl loading dye), lane 9 MG A(L)DH A (10µl DNA, 10µl master mix A, and 5µl loading dye).

The first initial stage Danny went through was anger and personally questioned his existence. Throughout his anger, I witnessed the frustrated by the way he was describing his experience with having Chrons. He described to me the type of pains he would go through before going through a flare up. “Imagine you are sitting at home, your sweating, you’re in a fetal position and it feels like there is a knife inside and you can’t take that knife out” (Danny, 2016). This part of the interview, I knew Danny was going through anger because this stage illustrates how angry Danny was with the symptoms he would feel. Danny look for ways to avoid the disability. Danny shared a story with one of his first experiences with Chrons:

Previous research on observational and ethnographical studies have shown minority students are punished more than the majority groups. In 1975, the Children’s Defense Fund concluded African American students received more suspensions than white students. Other studies examined and demonstrated how racial disparities may result in harsher punishment for African American students. Various studies in the “school-to-jail” link have continuously showed that race may be connected with being disciplined. However, multi-level studies are suggested to ensure that discrimination may not be erroneously claimed; school disciplinary polices must be evaluated at the school level and not the individual level. Additional studies suggested that racial

In cross B, a red-eyed female fly was placed into a vial with a white-eyed male fly and a red- eyed male fly for a breeding period of two weeks. At least eight red-eyed females were produced from this cross. These eight females were used to conduct a polymerase chain reaction. Comparing to the control groups, the results show that seven out of eight flies has the Xw+ Xw genotype because all of them had both bands appear on the gel when both alleles were present. This indicates that all of them are heterozygous. They are all red-eye females. Fly 7, however either of the band appear. This means that an error occurred, and one possible error could be not enough DNA were extracted therefore the gel could

In the qualitative study, Struggles and resilience of African American women living with HIV or AIDS: A qualitative study researchers analyze responses of African American women living with HIV/AIDS over ten years who are active members of a support group. The primary objective of the qualitative study was to understand the strengths and resilience in enduring the burden of having HIV/AIDS. The study participants included ten women with an average age of 48.2 years. Participants were interviewed with the purpose to describe their individual stories of HIV infection and explore what encouraged acceptance of their diagnosis (Smith, McCarragher, & Brown, 2015).

The qualitative study by Coverdale and Long (2015) on the exploration of emotional well-being in young people and perspectives of parents is a small-scale study that utilizes qualitative methods to search for the meaning of emotional well-being as experienced by the young person and to address the divide from crisis intervention to the promotion of well-being. The proposed research question is broad and subjectively defined. The weaknesses of the study are the limited sample size and role conflict between the researcher and some of the participants. Strengths of the study illustrate the importance of further research and the need for available support for parents and young people to promote emotional wellbeing.

An observational study was conducted in two general hospitals in Germany. The study aimed to determine nurses’ practice in pressure ulcer prevention and level of adherence in accordance with the German Expert Standard for pressure ulcer prevention (Hoviattalab et al., 2014).The study was conducted with ethical approval from the relevant committees; patients were fully informed and consent was given. The principle of the research ethics is that the participant should not be harmed as a result of participating in the study (Bowling, 2009, p176). Patients were allocated according to a Braden score of ≤12. The questionnaire and a patient observational checklist consisted items which would allow determine nurses practice in five pressure ulcer

This is an exploratory workshop which I aim through to stimulate and foster qualitative analysis of a part of my visual data from my on going PhD study. I am looking for western perspectives; academics who are interested in/familiar with European paintings e.g. 19th cent era (no expertise required). A number of C3RI scholars from different fields are invited. Your contribution is much appreciated, and will be acknowledged in my thesis. It shall take1.5 to 2 hours, refreshments are provided

Volunteer weekly (September to June) with the pre-teen program to foster growth in teenagers with various special needs through accommodation of individual care plans and participation in communal activities (215 hours and counting).

In this experiment there were a total of 114 participants used. Of the 114 participants, 50 participants were used for each condition, for a total of 100 participants being observed in terms of wether they stopped and looked to see what was going on or they did not stop. The other 14 participants were split into a group of five participants that recorded the data of the 100 participants who stopped or didn't and eight participants played the part of observers in each condition to the artist that was to attract the 100 participants. The 14 participants that took part in conducting the experiment, were 11 females and three males. For the 100 participants, there were 64 male participants and 36 female participants. For this experiment age and ethnicity
