A Research Proposal On Electrical Vehicles
Executive summary Electrical vehicles technology has been present for a while and is a proven technology that need only reshaping to meet the global
need. Though, in the past, the technology had failed to compete with the internal combustion engine due to initial cost, the technology has done well in
the past few years. Electric vehicle ability to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon and carbon dioxide and the advantages it enjoys
such as low maintenance and running cost can enhance it market competitiveness. However, as experts try to make its charging system more efficient
and its ability to store charge more long lasting, the global need continue to rise. The research proposal, therefore, aim at addressing an issue like
government involvement can enhance improved use of EV, development of better EV batteries, energy management system and fast charging can help
enhance the use of Electrical Vehicles and how electric vehicle drive train and the battery can be redesigned to make it affordable.
Introduction
The transport sector is one of the main global consumers of fossil fuel related energy in the world. Unfortunately fossil fuel is non–renewable source of
energy and the production of oil has been fluctuating in the recent past. At the same time, combustion of petroleum related fuel release greenhouse
gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide that destroy the ozone layer and result to further environmental degradation. Therefore to work

This is applied research where a knowledge development objective is the end result (Blanche & Durrheim, 1999: 41).
2.2Type of Research Design
A research design can be understood as the planning of any scientific research from the first to the last step. In this sense it is a program to guide the
researcher in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting facts (Bless and Higson–Smith, 1995:63).
For the purpose of this study, the researcher intends to use a cross–sectional research design where all the data will be collected at the same time. The
distribution of the research questionnaires will take place over a time period of two weeks where the main data will be collected from the respondents.
2.3Data collecting methods and data analysis
The data gathering will be done with a questionnaire the researcher designed her self that will assess work satisfaction of social workers. The
questionnaire is named the Questionnaire on Social Workers Work Satisfaction in Welfare Organizations. This questionnaire firstly has the objective to
collect certain vital demographic information from the respondents. Secondly, it covers aspects on how the respondents perceived their work

LEADERSHIP STYLE & ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT
INTRODUCTION
Different leadership organisations have different leadership styles that they have adopted in their operations. However it is up to an organization to
make sure that the leadership style it uses contributes to the commitment of different stakeholders in an organization. Organizational commitment is
one of the salient on going organizational issues faced by managers. Past literature has highlighted the importance of retaining committed employees as
an aspect of survival for organization hence many forward thinking are striving to create a positive organizational climate in order to keep those good

3.What qualifies it to be the best leadership style
LITERATURE REVIEW
There are various different leadership styles that organizations normally adopts & each one of them have different impact on the organizational
commitment on stakeholders. This includes
a)Laissez Faire Leadership
b)Transactional Leadership
c)Transformational Leadership
LAISSEZ FAIRE LEADERSHIP
Laissez faire is the absence of effective leadership (Yukl G, 2010). Laissez faire leaders ignore problems and follower (Yukl G, 2010) and they do not
contribute to the growth of the follower ( (Northouse, 2007). Feedback, rewards and leader involvement are totally absent in this type of leadership
hence reduced organisational commitment.
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER is a person who stimulates and inspires followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes (Robbins, 2007)It has been
shown to influence organisational members by transforming their values and priorities while motivating them to perform beyond their expectations
(Rowold, 2007)Increased levels of job satisfaction & reduced turnover intentions are consequences of transformational leadership. It is all about
leadership that creates positive change in the followers whereby they take care of each other's interests and act in the interestsof the groupas a whole

A Research Proposal On Big Data
Research Proposal The research proposal can be developed from the topic of big data to match up the demands of enormous data flow in the
dynamic world. Data visualization tools at significant cost can help up in analytics of big data and can form an innovative research proposal for
analysis and extensive research. The real time data and the use of techniques of big data in this domain can form an excellent topic of research
calling for formulating methodologies and strategies to tap the untapped potential of this field and to experiment more in the field of research.
Since, real time processing acts as a game changer in big data the research developed would be to have an insight into real time analytics and
streaming data to analyze the flow and to evaluate it using certain tools and techniques. This is one of the greatest challenge that is acting as a key
barrier in widespread adoption and pervasive use of the tools fostering for development and progress in this field of study. The real time of the big
data analytics would require some of the unique features and special computing powers and potentials (Gantz, 2012). Tools have to made specially
advanced so as to incorporate process terms in real time (Chen, 2012). Every business oriented organization should be transformed into information
centric (Kaisler, 2013) to focus upon the real time data analysis in terms of both input and output. However, there are some of the risks associated with

MBA TAKE HOME ESSAY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON RESEARCH METHODS 1. Identify the most appropriate study design for the
research proposal you are Planning to develop. A study design is the procedure that guides a researcher on how to collect, analyze and interpret
observations. It is a logical model that guides the investigator while he navigates through the various stages of the research. Study types can be
classified severally depending on the research strategy employed. A study type can be non–interventional that is 'observational' where a researcher just
observes and analyses researchable objects or situations without intervening. Non–interventional study designs can be exploratory, descriptive or

Having already identified the non–intervention study type as the most appropriate study type for my research proposal, I will also employ the use of a
descriptive study design to explore the current patterns of policies and strategies concerning employee empowerment in Merchant Bank Ghana Limited.
2. Describe the various data collection techniques and state their uses and limitations. Data Collection is a vital aspect of any type of research study.
Erroneous data collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. Data collection methods for impact evaluation vary
along a scale. At the one end of this scale are quantitative methods and at the other end of the scale are Qualitative methods for data collection.
Choosing a particular data collection method will depend on the accuracy of information they will yield and the practical considerations, such as, the
need for personnel, time, equipment and other facilities, in relation to what is available Quantitative Collection Methods Quantitative data collection
involves the use of numbers to assess information. This information can then be evaluated using statistical analysis which offers researchers the
opportunity to dig deeper into the data and look for greater meaning. The Quantitative data collection methods rely on random sampling and structured

Research Proposal On Global Warming
Research Proposal The Climate changing, this has been a well–known issue. Air Pollution is killing the environment, creating damage that cannot be
reversed. Our social media will attempt to tell you different and make it out to be not as bad or serious as it really is. My research proposal will
explain what the effects we have on our beautiful little planet in a global scale, and I will point out how the internet can try and argue the facts to make
global warming a hoax. I will layout the facts and statistics about the subject matter, then explain why their argumentation is false. A good quote
for the article to start it off is one from Hawkins, "How did global warming discussions end up hinging on what's happening with polar bears,
unverifiable predictions of what will happen in a hundred years and whether people are 'climate deniers' or 'global warming cultists?' wouldn't this
be considered a scientific topic? We should be spending more time discussing the science involved?" (Hawkins). I believe that nature in part along
with humans are causing damage to the environment. Our planet is moving closer to the sun; we know that but that alone would not be the cause of
the planets warming as fast as it is. I also believe that social media is not telling it how it really is by not using the facts and evidence. I will then
bring forth the prevalence of the ice age and talk about facts disproving global warming (which is the theory that the world is slowly rising in

What is the Impact of Stress on University Students Academic Performance?
1. EXPLANATION OF RESEARCH TOPIC
1.1 Purposes of Research Topic
Newth (2011) claims that modern day stress seems to be more widespread than ever causing interference with human intellect, emotional and
interpersonal functioning. Therefore; I suggest that students will encounter stress and it will impact their academic performance. In this fast pace and
performance driven society each organization needs well performing people. The only way we will know what people require to become productive
and less stressed is to explore topics as my research question. The topic...show more content...
Which collects the health statistics of students from universities all around the world every second year, reported that 40.2 percent of Santa Clara
University students identified that stress affected their individual academic performance during the last 12 months of their studies (Temple,2011).
Temple (2011) reported a survey conducted in 2004 that assessed the overall well–being of 47,202 undergraduates nationwide. The findings were that
32.4 percent of students recognized stress as the main obstacle to their academic performance. This was said to be above the common cold,
depression, death of a relative, sexual assault and eating disorders. Stress is "once considered as the nation's number one health epidemic; prolonged
stress can lead to ulcers, heart disease, stroke, major depression and to a shorter life span" (Temple, 2011).
Based on these findings from research done previously I feel that this study is important. Firstly, we need to understand what causes the stressors and
how it affects the individual. For example, if you have an entire university with stressed students, not being productive, not performing well
academically perhaps thinking of dropping out of university because of the overwhelming anxiety; it can be detrimental to the institution in terms of
status and students in terms of individual realisation. Secondly, we soon have to formulate effective and efficient stress management guidelines as we

Crime Research Proposal
RESEARCH PROPOSAL EXAMPLE 4. THIS PERSON RECEIVED A "9.8" INTRODUCTION Micheal Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi's general
theory of crime purports to be able to predict all crime at all time and that a person's level of self–control is determined and unchangeable by age eight.
This researcher saw this theory as an awfully broad statement and an extremely pessimistic view of human nature. By this logic, a person with a low
score on the selfcontrol construct would be almost guaranteed to commit crime given the appropriate opportunity and little can be done to change that
behavior. This researcher proposes that self–control can be learned and bolstered later in life through extensive behavior modification programs that
work to curb the...show more content...
Self–control theory enthusiasts claim that the characteristics of those with self–restraint are not well–matched with the elements that characterize
criminal and deviants acts (Gibbs et al 1998), consequently this researcher hypothesizes that increasing self–control and restraint through behavior
modification will make criminal sexual opportunity less appealing and therefore decrease recidivism.
Dr. Lane, Research Proposal Ex 4, Spring 2001, page 2
LITERATURE REVIEW The general theory of crime is relatively new and controversial theory in the realm ofcriminology. Micheal Gottfredson and
Travis Hirschi published A General Theory of Crime in 1990 and it went on to become the second most cited book in the entire 1990s (Pratt and
Cullen, 2000). Their theory is based on the argument, not unlike Hirschi's social bonding theory that criminal activity is gratifying and the key to
understanding participation in crime is discovering what prevents people from breaking the law. They contend that committing crime and other
analogous behaviors (drinking, gambling, drug use, reckless driving, and unsafe sexual practices) start manifesting in conduct problems early in life.
The term "low self–control" is used to describe the enduring "criminality" or "criminal propensity" that increases the likelihood that individuals will be
unable to resist the easy, immediate

The reader is alerted to the existence of broader studies such as these. The present discussion, however, will concentrate primarily on findings and
issues associated with persons in their later years. Defining Life Satisfaction and Related Concepts To fully understand the meaning of life
satisfaction as it is used in the proposed study, it is necessary to be familiar with a number of related concepts. The term that probably serves as the
umbrella under which other terms are covered is quality of life. In general, quality of life is a nebulous term that evades precise definition
(Campbell, 1981). Andrews and Withey (1996) have stated the following about quality of life: . . . sometimes refers to an 'outsider's' judgments of
quality covered in such measures as crowding, decibels of noise pollution, reported crimes, income levels, etc., but it may also refer to the privately
known and privately evaluated aspects of life (p. 4). Another broad term, one that is specifically associated with the gerontological literature, is
successful aging. Kalish (1985) discusses the following four related though distinct definitions of successful aging: * A way of life that is socially

Cyber-Bullying: A Brief Research Proposal Essay
Introduction Internet usage in children and adolescents has been increasing in a steadily fashion in the past number of years and with the increase in
internet usage, a new form of bullying has developed – Cyber bullying. Cyber bullying can be defined as "the electronic posting of mean–spirited
messages about a person," (Merriam–Webster, 2012). This form of bullying can come through various mediums including but not limited to text
messages, emails, videos, and social networking sites. There is an overwhelming amount of information that defines cyber bullying, identifies the
demographics of bullies and victims of cyber bullying, and identifies the outcomes of cyber bullying on victims. More focus needs to be placed on
who the perpetrators...show more content...
Additionally, a large amount of cyber bullying tends to take place within social groups. Perpetrators of need not be the traditional strong, powerful
bully but could be the individual who is too shy to intimidate others in the traditional sense so they turn to the cyber world where they may remain
somewhat anonymous (Juvonen & Gross, 2008; Mishna, Cook, Gadalla, Daciuk, & Solomon, 2010; Mishna, Saini, & Solomon, 2009). One study
showed that over half of the perpetrators of cyber bullying are friends of the victim, and a further amount of perpetrations know the victim (Kowalski
& Fedina, 2011). It has been demonstrated in a number of studies that the more time an individual spends on the computer and internet, the more likely
they are to be cyber bully victims, perpetrators or both the victim and bully (Mishna, Khourg–Kassabri, Gadalla, & Daciuk, 2012; Sengupta &
Chaudhuri, 2011). The most common mediums of cyber bullying are through email, instant messages, or internet social networking sites; however,
the medium with the greatest impact on its victims is picture or video bullying (Beran & Li, 2005; Kowalski & Fedina, 2011; Slonje & Smoth,
2008). It has been suggested in the past that children who have access to social networking sites are more likely to be perpetrators or victims of cyber

A Research Proposal On Suicide Essay
Statement of Interest
Suicide by cop commonly abbreviated as SBC is a topic that embraces a self–explanatory name. However, for the purpose of this research proposal, a
conceptual definition will provide a better direction in the questions to be asked and addressed in searching for Scholarly articles. The working
definition is, someone who intentionally puts himself in a circumstance where they are deemed as a lethal threat to society or police officials. Taking
the necessary actions to put themselves in immediate danger by forcing officers to take action in using lethal force to stop what is considered to be an
imminent threat. The end result is suicide. Whether the reason for suicide is that the person was afraid to intentionally inflict pain on himself, or
religious reasons that came into question when deliberately taking one's own life. It is never something easily accepted by an officer. With the
many causes and effects of SbC the focus of this research proposal will address what kind of individuals pose the most threat to society and police
officers in instances of SBC. Additionally, what features make them dangerous and how to be able to identify these features? In other words, are
there things set in place to help officers combat against scenarios of SBC. As well as what are the negative outcomes of SBC and what kind of help
can be provided for the officers affected by these traumatic instances.

Effects of Technological Experience on Adoption and Usage of Electronic Health Records Introduction The integration of electronic health records in

Physicians working in locations with EHRs tended to highlight the same barriers, though less frequently. The authors concluded that financial
limitations are the greatest barrier to the adoption of electronic health records. They do admit that their study, like all surveys, could be subject to
response bias. Burt (2005) also surveyed physicians, this time from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, a yearly survey conducted by
the US census bureau. The authors were attempting to find correlations between EHR implementation and other statistics, such as age, practice
size, and ownership (physician, physician group, or HMO). They used regression modeling and bivariate analysis of three years of survey data.
They found that practices owned by HMOs were three times more likely to adopt EHR as single physician or group owned practices. Also, large
physician group owned practices (20 or more) had an increased usage of EHR over small group and single physician owned. The authors reported that
there were no variations due to practice size in the different ownership groups. Physicians' age did not have any effect on EHR usage. The authors
concluded that the ability of larger practices to spread the sizable investment required to purchase and implement the technology over more physicians
and services was the largest factor in implementation EHR. Laerum (2001) was the

Measurement
First, the respondents shall fill out a self–administered questionnaire. Ideally, the respondents will grade each statement in the survey–questionnaire
using a Likert scale (Barnett, V. 1991), with a five–response scale wherein respondents will be given five response choices.
The equivalent weights for the answers will be: Range Interpretation 4.50 – 5.00 Strongly Agree
3.50 – 4.49 Agree
2.50 – 3.49 Uncertain
1.50 – 2.49 Disagree
0.00 – 1.49 Strongly Disagree
The researcher opted to use the questionnaire as a tool since it is easy to construct having the rules and principles of construction are easy to follow.
Moreover, copies of the questionnaire could reach a considerable number of respondents either by mail or by personal distribution. Generally,
responses to a questionnaire are objectified and standardized and these make tabulation easy. But more importantly, the respondents' replies are of their
own free will because there is no interviewer to influence them. This is one way to avoid biases, particularly the interviewers' bias. The researcher will

Research Proposal : Gender Equality
Research Proposal: Gender Equality in America
For my research project, I would like to show the evolution of gender equality that has occurred in American society in the workplace. The disparity
of status and privileges between men and women has existed since the end of the World War II. Although America has made progress concerning the
acceptance of social issues such as same sex relationship and marriage, people are still unwilling to acknowledge that gender inequality is still rampant
among our society. Gender equality hasn't been achieved yet, particularly in corporate America that has an insignificant number of women in the
upper ranks; fewer women occupy a post of chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or any other leading positions. For my research question
I will be asking: "How is America making progress on gender equity?" Fundamentally, I believe that women are still misrepresented, and are still
facing many challenges in the workplace, especially in the business world. The gender stereotypes play a considerable role in the way the society sees
women as leaders. However, it will be judicious to consider the small but noticeable changes that have been made over the past years concerning
gender equality in the American workplace.
The research on the evolution of gender equality is related to my success, because as a women business major, it is my responsibility to be aware of
the issues women face in the business world, dominated by men.

A Research Proposal On Electrical Vehicles

  • 1. A Research Proposal On Electrical Vehicles Executive summary Electrical vehicles technology has been present for a while and is a proven technology that need only reshaping to meet the global need. Though, in the past, the technology had failed to compete with the internal combustion engine due to initial cost, the technology has done well in the past few years. Electric vehicle ability to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon and carbon dioxide and the advantages it enjoys such as low maintenance and running cost can enhance it market competitiveness. However, as experts try to make its charging system more efficient and its ability to store charge more long lasting, the global need continue to rise. The research proposal, therefore, aim at addressing an issue like government involvement can enhance improved use of EV, development of better EV batteries, energy management system and fast charging can help enhance the use of Electrical Vehicles and how electric vehicle drive train and the battery can be redesigned to make it affordable. Introduction The transport sector is one of the main global consumers of fossil fuel related energy in the world. Unfortunately fossil fuel is non–renewable source of energy and the production of oil has been fluctuating in the recent past. At the same time, combustion of petroleum related fuel release greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide that destroy the ozone layer and result to further environmental degradation.

This includes a)Laissez Faire Leadership b)Transactional Leadership c)Transformational Leadership LAISSEZ FAIRE LEADERSHIP Laissez faire is the absence of effective leadership (Yukl G, 2010). Laissez faire leaders ignore problems and follower (Yukl G, 2010) and they do not contribute to the growth of the follower ( (Northouse, 2007). Feedback, rewards and leader involvement are totally absent in this type of leadership hence reduced organisational commitment. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER is a person who stimulates and inspires followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes (Robbins, 2007)It has been shown to influence organisational members by transforming their values and priorities while motivating them to perform beyond their expectations (Rowold, 2007)Increased levels of job satisfaction & reduced turnover intentions are consequences of transformational leadership. It is all about leadership that creates positive change in the followers whereby they take care of each other's interests and act in the interestsof the groupas a whole (Warrilow, 2012)

Data visualization tools at significant cost can help up in analytics of big data and can form an innovative research proposal for analysis and extensive research. The real time data and the use of techniques of big data in this domain can form an excellent topic of research calling for formulating methodologies and strategies to tap the untapped potential of this field and to experiment more in the field of research. Since, real time processing acts as a game changer in big data the research developed would be to have an insight into real time analytics and streaming data to analyze the flow and to evaluate it using certain tools and techniques. This is one of the greatest challenge that is acting as a key barrier in widespread adoption and pervasive use of the tools fostering for development and progress in this field of study. The real time of the big data analytics would require some of the unique features and special computing powers and potentials (Gantz, 2012). Tools have to made specially advanced so as to incorporate process terms in real time (Chen, 2012). Every business oriented organization should be transformed into information centric (Kaisler, 2013) to focus upon the real time data analysis in terms of both input and output.

Describe the various data collection techniques and state their uses and limitations. Data Collection is a vital aspect of any type of research study. Erroneous data collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. Data collection methods for impact evaluation vary along a scale. At the one end of this scale are quantitative methods and at the other end of the scale are Qualitative methods for data collection. Choosing a particular data collection method will depend on the accuracy of information they will yield and the practical considerations, such as, the need for personnel, time, equipment and other facilities, in relation to what is available Quantitative Collection Methods Quantitative data collection involves the use of numbers to assess information. This information can then be evaluated using statistical analysis which offers researchers the opportunity to dig deeper into the data and look for greater meaning.

  • 10. Research Proposal On Global Warming Research Proposal The Climate changing, this has been a well–known issue. Air Pollution is killing the environment, creating damage that cannot be reversed. Our social media will attempt to tell you different and make it out to be not as bad or serious as it really is. My research proposal will explain what the effects we have on our beautiful little planet in a global scale, and I will point out how the internet can try and argue the facts to make global warming a hoax. I will layout the facts and statistics about the subject matter, then explain why their argumentation is false. A good quote for the article to start it off is one from Hawkins, "How did global warming discussions end up hinging on what's happening with polar bears, unverifiable predictions of what will happen in a hundred years and whether people are 'climate deniers' or 'global warming cultists?' wouldn't this be considered a scientific topic? We should be spending more time discussing the science involved?" (Hawkins). I believe that nature in part along with humans are causing damage to the environment. Our planet is moving closer to the sun; we know that but that alone would not be the cause of the planets warming as fast as it is. I also believe that social media is not telling it how it really is by not using the facts and evidence. I will then bring forth the prevalence of the ice age and talk about facts disproving global warming (which is the theory that the world is slowly rising in temperature Get more content on HelpWriting.net

EXPLANATION OF RESEARCH TOPIC 1.1 Purposes of Research Topic Newth (2011) claims that modern day stress seems to be more widespread than ever causing interference with human intellect, emotional and interpersonal functioning. Therefore; I suggest that students will encounter stress and it will impact their academic performance. In this fast pace and performance driven society each organization needs well performing people. The only way we will know what people require to become productive and less stressed is to explore topics as my research question. The topic...show more content... Which collects the health statistics of students from universities all around the world every second year, reported that 40.2 percent of Santa Clara University students identified that stress affected their individual academic performance during the last 12 months of their studies (Temple,2011). Temple (2011) reported a survey conducted in 2004 that assessed the overall well–being of 47,202 undergraduates nationwide. The findings were that 32.4 percent of students recognized stress as the main obstacle to their academic performance. This was said to be above the common cold, depression, death of a relative, sexual assault and eating disorders. Stress is "once considered as the nation's number one health epidemic; prolonged stress can lead to ulcers, heart disease, stroke, major depression and to a shorter life span" (Temple, 2011). Based on these findings from research done previously I feel that this study is important. Firstly, we need to understand what causes the stressors and how it affects the individual. For example, if you have an entire university with stressed students, not being productive, not performing well academically perhaps thinking of dropping out of university because of the overwhelming anxiety; it can be detrimental to the institution in terms of status and students in terms of individual realisation. Secondly, we soon have to formulate effective and efficient stress management guidelines as we

THIS PERSON RECEIVED A "9.8" INTRODUCTION Micheal Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi's general theory of crime purports to be able to predict all crime at all time and that a person's level of self–control is determined and unchangeable by age eight. This researcher saw this theory as an awfully broad statement and an extremely pessimistic view of human nature. By this logic, a person with a low score on the selfcontrol construct would be almost guaranteed to commit crime given the appropriate opportunity and little can be done to change that behavior. This researcher proposes that self–control can be learned and bolstered later in life through extensive behavior modification programs that work to curb the...show more content... Self–control theory enthusiasts claim that the characteristics of those with self–restraint are not well–matched with the elements that characterize criminal and deviants acts (Gibbs et al 1998), consequently this researcher hypothesizes that increasing self–control and restraint through behavior modification will make criminal sexual opportunity less appealing and therefore decrease recidivism. Dr. Lane, Research Proposal Ex 4, Spring 2001, page 2 LITERATURE REVIEW The general theory of crime is relatively new and controversial theory in the realm ofcriminology. Micheal Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi published A General Theory of Crime in 1990 and it went on to become the second most cited book in the entire 1990s (Pratt and Cullen, 2000). Their theory is based on the argument, not unlike Hirschi's social bonding theory that criminal activity is gratifying and the key to understanding participation in crime is discovering what prevents people from breaking the law. They contend that committing crime and other analogous behaviors (drinking, gambling, drug use, reckless driving, and unsafe sexual practices) start manifesting in conduct problems early in life. The term "low self–control" is used to describe the enduring "criminality" or "criminal propensity" that increases the likelihood that individuals will be unable to resist the easy, immediate Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The reader is alerted to the existence of broader studies such as these. The present discussion, however, will concentrate primarily on findings and issues associated with persons in their later years. Defining Life Satisfaction and Related Concepts To fully understand the meaning of life satisfaction as it is used in the proposed study, it is necessary to be familiar with a number of related concepts. The term that probably serves as the umbrella under which other terms are covered is quality of life. In general, quality of life is a nebulous term that evades precise definition (Campbell, 1981). Andrews and Withey (1996) have stated the following about quality of life: . . . sometimes refers to an 'outsider's' judgments of quality covered in such measures as crowding, decibels of noise pollution, reported crimes, income levels, etc., but it may also refer to the privately known and privately evaluated aspects of life (p. 4). Another broad term, one that is specifically associated with the gerontological literature, is successful aging.

  • 15. Cyber-Bullying: A Brief Research Proposal Essay Introduction Internet usage in children and adolescents has been increasing in a steadily fashion in the past number of years and with the increase in internet usage, a new form of bullying has developed – Cyber bullying. Cyber bullying can be defined as "the electronic posting of mean–spirited messages about a person," (Merriam–Webster, 2012). This form of bullying can come through various mediums including but not limited to text messages, emails, videos, and social networking sites. There is an overwhelming amount of information that defines cyber bullying, identifies the demographics of bullies and victims of cyber bullying, and identifies the outcomes of cyber bullying on victims. More focus needs to be placed on who the perpetrators...show more content... Additionally, a large amount of cyber bullying tends to take place within social groups. Perpetrators of need not be the traditional strong, powerful bully but could be the individual who is too shy to intimidate others in the traditional sense so they turn to the cyber world where they may remain somewhat anonymous (Juvonen & Gross, 2008; Mishna, Cook, Gadalla, Daciuk, & Solomon, 2010; Mishna, Saini, & Solomon, 2009). One study showed that over half of the perpetrators of cyber bullying are friends of the victim, and a further amount of perpetrations know the victim (Kowalski & Fedina, 2011). It has been demonstrated in a number of studies that the more time an individual spends on the computer and internet, the more likely they are to be cyber bully victims, perpetrators or both the victim and bully (Mishna, Khourg–Kassabri, Gadalla, & Daciuk, 2012; Sengupta & Chaudhuri, 2011). The most common mediums of cyber bullying are through email, instant messages, or internet social networking sites; however, the medium with the greatest impact on its victims is picture or video bullying (Beran & Li, 2005; Kowalski & Fedina, 2011; Slonje & Smoth, 2008). It has been suggested in the past that children who have access to social networking sites are more likely to be perpetrators or victims of cyber bullying, however, results from one study indicates this is not the case.

Thereare multiple definitions for food insecurity and it can beassessed on different magnitudes of scale ranging from global,national, local, to the household. I will focus on the householdlevel of food insecurity in Southeast San Diego, but first willlay out the other analyses of food insecurity. The Global The World Food Summit in 1996 defined food insecurity as thelack of "physical and economic access to sufficient, safe andnutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life"(FAO). On a global scale, one inseven people do not have access to adequate food (Siegenbeek van Heukelom).

  • 19. A Research Proposal On Suicide Essay Statement of Interest Suicide by cop commonly abbreviated as SBC is a topic that embraces a self–explanatory name. However, for the purpose of this research proposal, a conceptual definition will provide a better direction in the questions to be asked and addressed in searching for Scholarly articles. The working definition is, someone who intentionally puts himself in a circumstance where they are deemed as a lethal threat to society or police officials. Taking the necessary actions to put themselves in immediate danger by forcing officers to take action in using lethal force to stop what is considered to be an imminent threat. The end result is suicide. Whether the reason for suicide is that the person was afraid to intentionally inflict pain on himself, or religious reasons that came into question when deliberately taking one's own life. It is never something easily accepted by an officer. With the many causes and effects of SbC the focus of this research proposal will address what kind of individuals pose the most threat to society and police officers in instances of SBC. Additionally, what features make them dangerous and how to be able to identify these features? In other words, are there things set in place to help officers combat against scenarios of SBC. As well as what are the negative outcomes of SBC and what kind of help can be provided for the officers affected by these traumatic instances.

Effects of Technological Experience on Adoption and Usage of Electronic Health Records Introduction The integration of electronic health records in the IT infrastructures supporting medical facilities enables improved access to and recording of patient data, enhanced ability to make more informed and more–timely decisions, and decreased errors. Despite these benefits, there are mixed results as to the use of EHR. The aim of this research is to determine if medical health professionals who lack experience with technology are slower to adopt and use electronic health records (EHR). Research has shown that the healthcare industry is plagued by rapidly increasing costs and poor quality. The United States medical care is the world's...show more content... Physicians working in locations with EHRs tended to highlight the same barriers, though less frequently. The authors concluded that financial limitations are the greatest barrier to the adoption of electronic health records. They do admit that their study, like all surveys, could be subject to response bias. Burt (2005) also surveyed physicians, this time from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, a yearly survey conducted by the US census bureau. The authors were attempting to find correlations between EHR implementation and other statistics, such as age, practice size, and ownership (physician, physician group, or HMO). They used regression modeling and bivariate analysis of three years of survey data. They found that practices owned by HMOs were three times more likely to adopt EHR as single physician or group owned practices. Also, large physician group owned practices (20 or more) had an increased usage of EHR over small group and single physician owned. The authors reported that there were no variations due to practice size in the different ownership groups. Physicians' age did not have any effect on EHR usage. The authors concluded that the ability of larger practices to spread the sizable investment required to purchase and implement the technology over more physicians and services was the largest factor in implementation EHR.

It also contains extensive literature reviews and must offer convincing support of need for the research study being proposed. Doctoral dissertations begin with research proposal; the proposal must be accepted by a panel of experts (usually professors) before the actual research can begin. In addition to providing rationale for the proposed research, the proposal must describe a detailed methodology for conducting the research––a methodology consistent with requirements of the professional or academic field. Other than that, it is a document written by a researcher that provides a detailed description of the proposed program. It is like an outline...show more content...

Ideally, the respondents will grade each statement in the survey–questionnaire using a Likert scale (Barnett, V. 1991), with a five–response scale wherein respondents will be given five response choices. The equivalent weights for the answers will be: Range Interpretation 4.50 – 5.00 Strongly Agree 3.50 – 4.49 Agree 2.50 – 3.49 Uncertain 1.50 – 2.49 Disagree 0.00 – 1.49 Strongly Disagree The researcher opted to use the questionnaire as a tool since it is easy to construct having the rules and principles of construction are easy to follow. Moreover, copies of the questionnaire could reach a considerable number of respondents either by mail or by personal distribution. Generally, responses to a questionnaire are objectified and standardized and these make tabulation easy. But more importantly, the respondents' replies are of their own free will because there is no interviewer to influence them. This is one way to avoid biases, particularly the interviewers' bias.

  • 23. Research Proposal : Gender Equality Research Proposal: Gender Equality in America For my research project, I would like to show the evolution of gender equality that has occurred in American society in the workplace. The disparity of status and privileges between men and women has existed since the end of the World War II. Although America has made progress concerning the acceptance of social issues such as same sex relationship and marriage, people are still unwilling to acknowledge that gender inequality is still rampant among our society. Gender equality hasn't been achieved yet, particularly in corporate America that has an insignificant number of women in the upper ranks; fewer women occupy a post of chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or any other leading positions. For my research question I will be asking: "How is America making progress on gender equity?" Fundamentally, I believe that women are still misrepresented, and are still facing many challenges in the workplace, especially in the business world. The gender stereotypes play a considerable role in the way the society sees women as leaders. However, it will be judicious to consider the small but noticeable changes that have been made over the past years concerning gender equality in the American workplace. The research on the evolution of gender equality is related to my success, because as a women business major, it is my responsibility to be aware of the issues women face in the business world, dominated by men.
