In this current era, many organizations are using the technology to store and analyze petabytes of data that are related to their company, business and
their customers for future requirement. Because of this classification of data becomes even more important. Techniques such as encryption, logging,
and security measures are required for securing this big data. Usage of the Big data for fraud detection looks very interesting and profit making for
many organizations. Big data style analyzing of data can solve the problems like advanced threats, cyber security related issues and even malicious
intruders. With the use of more sophisticated pattern analysis and with the use of multiple data sources it is easy to detect the threats in early stages
of the project itself. Many organizations are fighting with the remaining issues like private issues with the usage of big data. Data privacy is a liability;
thus companies must be on privacy defensive. When compared to security, Privacy should consider as profit making asset because it results in the
selling of unique product to customers which results in making money. We need to maintain balance between data privacy andnational security.
Visualization, controlling and inspection of the network links and ports are required to ensure security. Thus there is a need to put ones in insight the

3.9Data Processing and analysis.
The unit of analysis was the individual mobile phone service subscriber. Data were analyzed in two major stages, that is, through descriptive statistics
and specific tests of hypothesis. Cross tabulation was used to analyze demographic variability of the respondents. Descriptive statistics including
measures of central tendencies, measures of dispersion, frequencies and percentages were calculated to examine the respondents' characteristics. These
statistics showed the basic characteristics of research variables. The second stage of analysis focused on testing specific hypotheses of this study. To
analyze qualitative data, content analysis was used following the suggestion by SPSS BOSS (2015). As noted by ... Show more content on

As noted by Zikmund, Babbin, Carr & Griffin (2013), the importance of editing, coding and entering the data is to ensure that errors are checked.
Saunders et al. (2009), on the other hand, note that no matter how carefully data is coded and entered, there will always be some errors which need
to be checked and corrected before the data is analyzed. After this initial processing, the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social
Science (SPSS) version 20. In the second step, to get a feel of the data, descriptive statistics was used. As explained by Saunders et al. (2009),
descriptive statistics enable the researcher to numerically describe and compare the variables under study. This includes response rate; measures of
central tendency, notably the mean; measures of dispersion, particularly the standard deviation for Likert scale variables in the questionnaire (Magutu,
2013; Gathenya, 2012). Descriptive statistics covered all response variables and the demographic characteristics of respondents, which were analyzed
using cross tabulation. As explained by Magutu (2013, pp 84 ), 'descriptive statistics provide the basic features of the data collected on the variables

Easily customisable, CRISP–DM process model was used to implement this data mining project. With respects to this methodology, this study suggests
to identify high value customers and to profile the customers using customer segmentation techniques and by effectively utilising data mining methods.
There are mainly four phases for this analysis. Figure 3.1 illustrates the research methodology of this study.
3.1Business and Data Understanding
Typically, this phase involves gathering business requirements of the retailer and understanding the available data. As a company which is operating in
the retail industry, the retailer for whom the analysis was performed has to face an immense amount of competition. One of the ... Show more content on

For each time that the customer is completing a shopping at the retailer, one record will be added to the Transaction table. And per each item that the
customer is purchasing, records will be added to the Item table which is linked to the Item Master table that contains the main information about all the
items sold by the retailer. The branch table gives details about the Branches of the retailer.
3.2Data preparation
Data preparation is one of the most significant and time–consuming phases of data mining projects (Steinbach et al., 2005; Han et al., 2006; Yau,
2011). The data needs to be prepared to be in an appropriate state for analysis, maintaining its representativeness of the real world but in a format that
is appropriate for the data analysis tools. Therefore, data pre–processing techniques like data selection, data cleaning, constructing new data, integrating
data and transformation of data were used in this case study.
3.2.1Data Selection
As mentioned before, from the relational database of the company five main tables were used for the analysis. Out of those five tables Customer
table, Transaction table and Item table were used as the main sources of data and Item master table and Branch table were used as reference tables.
When the customer table is considered, there were records for the online customers as well as for the in–store customers. Some of

Nurses ' Experience Of Power From The Perspectives Of...
Research Topic
Nurses play a very important roles in patient care. They have the power to improve the quality of care, thus improving patient outcomes. According to
Fackler, Chambers, and Bourbonniere (2015), the phenomenon, which is stated in this study, is that the concept of power is usually viewed by nurses '
perception of their work environment; the environment that allows them to take proper care of their patients. Furthermore, based on the social theory
that power is defined as the capacity to achieve goals, the authors believe that if the nurses ' capacity to achieve goals for themselves and their patients
culminates in a positive conclusion, then power becomes an essential phenomenon to explore (Fackler et al., 2015).
Purpose
It was clearly stated that "the purpose of this study was to explore hospital nurses ' lived experience of power" (Fackler et al., 2015). Furthermore,
"this study identifies the meaning and experience of power from the perspectives of hospital clinical nurses" (Fackler et al., 2015).
Research Question "The main questions this study sought to answer included: what is the lived experience of power to hospital clinical nurses; and
what is the meaning of power to hospital clinical nurses in the context of their professional role?" (Fackler et al., 2015). Based on the fact that the goal
of a phenomenological research is to achieve understanding of an experience from the perspective of the participants (Schmidt & Brown, 2015), I

Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis Paper
1.Introduction
The escalating liberalization of international trade that occurred during the decades following World War II under the impulse of various multilateral
agreements and organizations has brought about a dramatic change in the geographic scope of logistics and freight transportation systems. While new
trade ties have emerged with East Asia, long–time trading partners such as the United States and European nations have also intensified their trade
relationships, to the point that the European Union is the largest trading partner of the United States and this trade represents 4% of U.S. gross domestic
product (BEA, 2010).
The intensification of long–haul trade routes has reinforced the critical role of seaports, as gateways to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
We look at competition and positioning of these ports with respect to shippers and their geographic location on the European continent. We separately
consider their linkages with U.S. ports of entry; finally, we also look at port traffic from the angle of the types of commodity handled. Each analysis
produces a functional space of European forwarding ports from one of the three perspectives. All three perspectives are also brought together in a
synthetic analysis of inter–port competition.
Commodity flow databases constitute a rich and multidimensional data source, but this information will not be useful unless some rules and patterns
are extracted from data in the form of functional space, for instance. Exploratory spatial data analysis methods play an increasing role in analyzing huge
databases. It helps to understand, summarize, and classify the huge unorganized data, and, more importantly, provides new hypotheses about data that
can be subsequently applied in spatial modeling. Multivariate statistical methods such as factor analysis, principle component analysis,
multidimensional scaling, and self–organizing maps deal with data reduction and have been used effectively comprehend functional space, either
implicitly or explicitly. Berry (1966) applied factor analysis approaches to identify India's salient commodity flow patterns. R–mode analysis identifies

Competitive Environment And Maintaining Customer...
1.0Introduction
In today's competitive environment, maintaining customer relationships is a key to business success because customers are considered as important
strategic resources of a business. However, all business markets contain many subgroups of customers that behave differently, that have different
ambitions, and have different purchasing behaviours. Hence, each subgroup must be treated differently in order to build strong customer relationships.
To compete with rival businesses, it is vital for a business to know enough about their customers and to know the wants and needs of the customers.

(Effect of CRM)
Loyal Customer can mean a consistent source of revenue over a period of many years. However, this loyalty cannot be taken for granted. It will
continue only as long as the customer feels they are receiving better value than they would obtain from another supplier. There are many approaches
companies can usefully adopt to measure loyalty and many companies keen to help with various tools and techniques. A large number of retailers
have become so focused on customer basket analysis, profitability and driving down operating costs that they have forgotten to listen to the real voice
of the customer. Indeed in a Bain Company survey in 2005, 80% of companies believed they were delivering a superior customer experience; only 8%
of their customers agreed.

sampled in the first stage and in the second stage 25, 206 students selected in 50 states in the District of Columbia (Ingels et al., 2011, 2014). There
were approximately 27 students selected per school. To cater for the complex sampling, the data include weights (students weights, parent weights,
teacher weights, counselor weights, and school weights) that should be used to account for the sampling and non–response at the two stages of the
data collecting process. For these reasons STATA and HLM software will be used in the data analysis process because these software can be used with
weights and correction of standard error. The HSLS has missing data that has been cleaned and the analysis process made easier because the data

History Of Retro Back 1970 ( Rb70 )
Introduction
Retro Back 1970 (RB70) is the newest hair care product of the Johnson Product line. The Johnson Product hair line of products was well known in the
1970's for having the best products for African–Americans. Johnson Products had two divisions in their hair line. One was Ultra Sheen, the other was
the natural hair line marketed as Afro–Sheen. The slogan was, soul food for the natural.
However, there is not a lot of statistical data to support what is known. The sale of relaxers is on the decline. Since hair maintenance is not optional,
it is safe to assume that if relaxers are on the decline, then natural hair products are on the rise. This is a booming market. The research firm Mintel
estimates the total sale of Black hair products totaled $2.7 billion in 2015. (Mintel, 2016)
RB70, the new perspective, is the organic hair line that has been designed with concerns of hair ingredients and health in mind. The research team is
composed of cosmetic chemists, and highly trained trichologists to ensure the best, and safest products are produced. The marketing department will be
working with Ashley Webelhuth to establish our brand. In addition, business analysts have been interviewed, a team ofbusiness analyst have been

Data Analysis Procedure: Ways the data analysis procedures are appropriate for testing the hypotheses The researchers proposed three hypotheses: 1)
High stressful life events and high NA should be related to symptoms of both anxiety and depression. Low PA, however, should be uniquely related to
symptoms of depression. 2) NA should moderate the relationship between stressful life events and symptoms of both anxiety and depression. 3) PA
should moderate the relationship between stressful life events and symptoms. (Fox et al., 2010, p. 46) After translating the collected data into facts and
studying the association between the variables, the hypotheses were tested. It was found that the data analysis procedures to be appropriate to help
answer the hypotheses. However, it was found there was mixed evidence for the first hypotheses, which was concerning tripartite models structure. The
data supported the other two hypotheses (Fox et al., 2010).
Data: Key distinctions between qualitative and quantitative data Qualitative data deals with descriptions, which it can be observed not measured.
Qualitative data analysis is more for exploratory purposes and usually is done through interviews (Henninger, 2009). Quantitative data deals with

Macmillan English Dictionary defines recycling as "the process of treating waste materials such as newspaper and bottles so that they can be used
again". Beside paper and bottles there have lots of recyclable items such as aluminum cans, scrap metals, plastic and printer cartridges. Recycling saves
energy and reduces pollution and would help slow down global climate change.
The history of recycling is started nearly 4000 years ago, there was a recovery and reuse system of bronze scrap in operation in Europe and there is
evidence that composting was carried out in China. In 1898, The Association of Cleansing Superintendents is established, which today has evolved into

2003, p.306). Solid domestic waste is one of the major environmental problems faced by most municipalities in the country particularly in urban
areas. The generation rate of waste is 1.0kg/day per person and 80 percent of the 230 landfills in the country have only two years of lifespan left.
Despite rigorous campaigns of recycling, the attainment of recycling rate has increased from 1–2 percent in 1997 to merely 5 percent in 2001 (Aini et
al. 2002, cited in Said et al. 2003, p.306).
Studies have shown that the most significant factor affecting nature is not the official government policy but public awareness (Chukwuma 1998,
cited in Said et al. 2003, p.306) or public concern for environment and the readiness to bear the cost of minimizing the adverse impacts of their
activities (Ramsey and Rickson 1976, cited in Said et al. 2003, p.306).

Outline For Qualitative Research Essay
Qualitative Research is a systematic process by which we attempt to answer a question or resolve a problem of a phenomenon. Qualitative research is
non–experimental in its approach to conducting research. Qualitative research stays within the phenomenological paradigm meaning it is subjective in
nature, uses inductive analysis method. Its purpose is to explore, explain, and describe a problem and uses multiple strategies of inquiry to collect data.
Also, Qualitative research is concerned with finding the answers to questions that begin with why? How? In what way? For example; 1) Why people
behave the way they do 2) How opinions and attitudes are formed 3) How people are affected by the events that go on around them.

Abstract: The Clustering is a data mining technique used to place data elements into related groups without advance knowledge of the group
description, which is a division of data into groups of similar objects. The data representing by fewer clusters necessarily loses certain fine details, but
achieves generalization. It models data by its clusters. The data modeling puts clustering in a historical perspective rooted in statistics, numerical
analysis and mathematics. In this paper represents the performance of three clustering algorithms such as EM, DBSCAN and SimpleKMeans are

the terabytes and organizations need to be able to quickly analyze that data and then pull appropriate information needed to make managerial decisions.
Further, with the insurgence of social media, smart devices and click–stream, data is generated daily on global networks through interactions. The use
of data management technologies allow a company to interface unstructured data and structured data to gleam information that is usable for
business managers to make sound business decisions, improve sales and to decrease operating costs. Big data integration and analysis has evolved
for organizations to store, manage, and manipulate vast amounts of data then provide the appropriate information when it's needed to meet business
objectives. Big data is an element that allows companies to leverage high volume data effectively and not in isolation. Big data needs to be quickly
accessible and have the ability to be analyzed. Data stores or warehouses are one way data is managed that is persistent, protected and available as long
as the data is needed. The forefather to data stores is relational data bases, relational data bases put in place decades ago are still in use today

Hadoop Security Issues And Recommendations
HADOOP SECURITY ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ABSTRACT
Big Data is creating great opportunities for businesses, companies and many large scale and small scale industries. Hadoop, as an open–source cloud
computing and big data framework, is increasingly used in the IT world. The rapid growth of Hadoop and Cloud Computing clearly indicates its
importance as a Big Data enabling technology. Due to the loopholes of security mechanism, the security issues introduced through adaptation of this
technology are also increasing. Hadoop services do not authenticate users or other services. As a result, Hadoop is subject to security risks. Big Data
is already a prime target for vulnerable attacks due to the valuable information it holds. In this paper, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Because of this classification of data becomes even more important. Techniques such as encryption, logging, and security measures are required for
securing this big data. Usage of the Big data for fraud detection looks very interesting and profit making for many organizations. Big data style
analyzing of data can solve the problems like advanced threats, cyber security related issues and even malicious intruders. With the use of more
sophisticated pattern analysis and with the use of multiple data sources it is easy to detect the threats in early stages of the project itself. Many
organizations are fighting with the remaining issues like private issues with the usage of big data. Data privacy is a liability; thus companies must be
on privacy defensive. When compared to security, Privacy should consider as profit making asset because it results in the selling of unique product to
customers which results in making money. We need to maintain balance between data privacy andnational security. Visualization, controlling and
inspection of the network links and ports are required to ensure security. Thus there is a necessity to invest ones in understanding the loop holes,

The Concepts Of Big Data Analysis Essay
Abstract–The important goal of this paper is to provide an overview on the concepts of big data analysis. Furthermore the growing emergence and
importance of qualitative data analysis in the field of business intelligence and data science is broadly explained .It also marks out effective tools
and techniques used to obtain prominent qualitative analytic results on the global level. Moreover we have concluded on the basis of comparison
of the tools depending on various factors and parameters by representing it on a tabular manner. I.INTRODUCTION Today, the data consumption
rate is tremendously expanding, the amount of data generated and stored is nearly imperceivable and highly growing. Big data that is nothing but
a large volume of unstructured or structured data that runs in and out in to a business on daily basis. This big data is analyzed in order to achieve
prominent business growth and improved business strategies [1]. Every year there is at least 40% increase in the amount of data growth on global
level, leading to which companies have started adopting new data analytic techniques and tools and also have stepped ahead moving their data
towards the cloud for their big data analytic requirements and for better analysis.[3][2] In big data analysis it is not the amount of data that is

Exploratory Data Analysis Sample
Exploratory data analysis is a process that allows investigation of each variable to be examined for the population or events of interest (Sylvia &
Terhaar, 2014). Descriptive variables are utilized to describe the characteristics of a population or collection of events (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). The
descriptive variables utilized in the case study regarding older community–dwelling patients with diabetes are age, gender, race, morbidity level, and
chronic disease conditions. The descriptive data provides a detailed image of the population of participating in the study. The average age of patients
participating in the study was 74.7 years, with the age of 73 being the most frequent. Of the three hundred ninety–two patients participating in the study,
a little over half of the study participates were white men. Ninety–seven percent of the participates reported a "high risk" or "very high risk" morbidity
level. Last, the descriptive variable assessing chronic health conditions reflected that 100% of participates have diabetes. Greater than 20 % of the
patients reported hypertension, lipid disorder, degenerative joint disease, ischemic heart... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
An additional method to determine an outlier is to consider the distribution of the outlier to the median as opposed to the mean. Based on this
principle, a value is considered an outlier if "positioned 1.5 times the value of the 75th percentile in a distribution" (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). In the
case study, the boxplot figure displays values above and below the 75th percentile or the whiskers (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). However, the principal
investigator of the study determined these values should be included as they provide meaning to the final results. In some situations when the outliers
cause a skew in the distribution, other solutions or techniques should be pursued for analysis(Sylvia & Terhaar,

The World Testifies Of Data And Our Understanding Of It Essay
1.1Introduction
(Ian, Frank & Hall 2011) The world testifies to the increasing gap between the development of data and our understanding of it. Data mining is
defined as the analysis of big observational data sets to establish unsuspected relationships that summarize the data in a novel, understandable and
useful way to the data owner (David, Heikki & Padhraic 2001). These relationships and summaries are referred to as models or patterns. Patterns
comprise sets of co–occurring attribute values referred to as item sets or more complex patterns that include sequences, which consider explicit
precedence relationships that are either positional or temporal, and graphs considering arbitrary relationships between points (Mohammed and Wagner
2014). Other types of additional summarised relationships include rules, clusters, tree structures among others.
Lying hidden in all this data is information– potentially useful information–that is rarely made explicit or taken advantage of. Data mining activity for
pattern deployment is achieved automatically or semi automatically (Ian, Frank & Hall 2011). The realised patterns lead to some economic advantage.
Patterns can also be expressed or as a transparent box constructed to reveal the structure of the pattern with the assumption that the realised patterns
make good predictions.
Data mining is used in variety of fields and applications (Galit, Stiumueli, Natin & Peter 2010). This includes the military for purposes of intelligence,

The study of social fact influenced by many variables, thus qualitative research method is the best measure to conduct this research. The term refer to
any type of qualitative research study that produces findings not arrived by the way of statistical procedures or other means of quantification (Strauss

will explain what was experienced. The qualitative examination reflect some type of individual phenomenological point of view. Douglas (1976) and
Greertz (1973) believe that numerous substances exist and various elucidation are accessible from distinctive people that are all similarly legitimate.

The median is resistant to extreme observations because its based on the middle one or two observations of the ordered list, while the mean is
nonresistant due to the influence of few extreme observations. 5. In stats, spread is a way to measure the variability of the observations around the
center. 6. To calculate Q1 and Q3 , you must first arrange the observations in increasing order to find the median, Q1 is the median of the
observations whose position in the list is to the left of the overall median, Q3 is the median of the observations whose position in the list is to the right
of the overall median. 7. The five–number summary is minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum 8. Standard deviation measures spread. 9. The

Spark 's RDDs function as a working set for distributed programs that offers a (deliberately) restricted form of distributed shared memory. [3]
The availability of RDDs facilitates the implementation of both iterative algorithms that visit their dataset multiple times in a loop, and exploratory data
analysis, which is the querying of data repeatedly. The latency of applications builds with spark compared to Hadoop, a MapReduce platform may be
reduced by several orders of magnitude. [3]
Another key aspect of apache spark is that it makes writing code easy and quickly. This is as a result of over 80 high level operators included in with
spark library. This is evidence as spark comes with a REPL an interactive shell. The REPL can be used t0 test the outcome of each line of code without
coding the entire job. As a result, ad–hoc data analysis is possible and code is made much shorter.
Apache Spark is well complemented with set of high–level libraries that can be easily used in the same application. These include Spark SQL, Spark
Streaming, MLlib and GraphX which we will explain in details in this paper. 2Spark Core

Using Data Analysis For Mixed Methods
There are many general guidelines that can help researchers in mixed methods designs to conduct an effective data analysis. Data analysis strategy
depends on the type of mixed methods design. Creswell (2007) suggested number of essential considerations should be in account when conducting
mixed methods data analysis: 1.The analysis strategy should be used in order to answer the research question(s) being asked. The questions are
different according to the research design as discussed earlier in this paper. 2. Data analysis approach will relate to either concurrent data analysis
(Triangulation and embedded designs) or sequential data analysis (Explanatory, exploratory, and embedded designs). As discussed before, data may be
merged or embedded in concurrent approach and connected or embedded in sequential approach. 3. In the concurrent approach, the analyses of
quantitative and qualitative date are done separately, while in sequential approach the analysis of the first step of the study is used to inform the
second step. For example, in sequential approach, if the first phase is qualitative design, then data analysis and the findings will guide data collection
in the second phase (e.g., quantitative phase). 4. Due to lack of available software for concurrent or sequential approaches, matrix or discussion can be
useful for comparing the results from qualitative and quantitative data in concurrent approach. 5. There is some software available to export qualitative
data into

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In this current era, many organizations are using the technology to store and analyze petabytes of data that are related to their company, business and their customers for future requirement. Because of this classification of data becomes even more important. Techniques such as encryption, logging, and security measures are required for securing this big data. Usage of the Big data for fraud detection looks very interesting and profit making for many organizations. Big data style analyzing of data can solve the problems like advanced threats, cyber security related issues and even malicious intruders. With the use of more sophisticated pattern analysis and with the use of multiple data sources it is easy to detect the threats in early stages of the project itself. Many organizations are fighting with the remaining issues like private issues with the usage of big data. Data privacy is a liability; thus companies must be on privacy defensive. When compared to security, Privacy should consider as profit making asset because it results in the selling of unique product to customers which results in making money. We need to maintain balance between data privacy andnational security. Visualization, controlling and inspection of the network links and ports are required to ensure security.

Data were analyzed in two major stages, that is, through descriptive statistics and specific tests of hypothesis. Cross tabulation was used to analyze demographic variability of the respondents. Descriptive statistics including measures of central tendencies, measures of dispersion, frequencies and percentages were calculated to examine the respondents' characteristics. These statistics showed the basic characteristics of research variables. The second stage of analysis focused on testing specific hypotheses of this study. To analyze qualitative data, content analysis was used following the suggestion by SPSS BOSS (2015). As noted by ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As noted by Zikmund, Babbin, Carr & Griffin (2013), the importance of editing, coding and entering the data is to ensure that errors are checked. Saunders et al. (2009), on the other hand, note that no matter how carefully data is coded and entered, there will always be some errors which need to be checked and corrected before the data is analyzed. After this initial processing, the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20. In the second step, to get a feel of the data, descriptive statistics was used. As explained by Saunders et al. (2009), descriptive statistics enable the researcher to numerically describe and compare the variables under study. This includes response rate; measures of central tendency, notably the mean; measures of dispersion, particularly the standard deviation for Likert scale variables in the questionnaire (Magutu, 2013; Gathenya, 2012). Descriptive statistics covered all response variables and the demographic characteristics of respondents, which were analyzed using cross tabulation. As explained by Magutu (2013, pp 84 ), 'descriptive statistics provide the basic features of the data collected on the variables and provide the impetus for conducting further analyses on the ...

With respects to this methodology, this study suggests to identify high value customers and to profile the customers using customer segmentation techniques and by effectively utilising data mining methods. There are mainly four phases for this analysis. Figure 3.1 illustrates the research methodology of this study. 3.1Business and Data Understanding Typically, this phase involves gathering business requirements of the retailer and understanding the available data. As a company which is operating in the retail industry, the retailer for whom the analysis was performed has to face an immense amount of competition. One of the ...

And per each item that the customer is purchasing, records will be added to the Item table which is linked to the Item Master table that contains the main information about all the items sold by the retailer. The branch table gives details about the Branches of the retailer. 3.2Data preparation Data preparation is one of the most significant and time–consuming phases of data mining projects (Steinbach et al., 2005; Han et al., 2006; Yau, 2011). The data needs to be prepared to be in an appropriate state for analysis, maintaining its representativeness of the real world but in a format that is appropriate for the data analysis tools. Therefore, data pre–processing techniques like data selection, data cleaning, constructing new data, integrating data and transformation of data were used in this case study. 3.2.1Data Selection As mentioned before, from the relational database of the company five main tables were used for the analysis. Out of those five tables Customer table, Transaction table and Item table were used as the main sources of data and Item master table and Branch table were used as reference tables. When the customer table is considered, there were records for the online customers as well as for the in–store customers. Some of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 8. Nurses ' Experience Of Power From The Perspectives Of... Research Topic Nurses play a very important roles in patient care. They have the power to improve the quality of care, thus improving patient outcomes. According to Fackler, Chambers, and Bourbonniere (2015), the phenomenon, which is stated in this study, is that the concept of power is usually viewed by nurses ' perception of their work environment; the environment that allows them to take proper care of their patients. Furthermore, based on the social theory that power is defined as the capacity to achieve goals, the authors believe that if the nurses ' capacity to achieve goals for themselves and their patients culminates in a positive conclusion, then power becomes an essential phenomenon to explore (Fackler et al., 2015). Purpose It was clearly stated that "the purpose of this study was to explore hospital nurses ' lived experience of power" (Fackler et al., 2015). Furthermore, "this study identifies the meaning and experience of power from the perspectives of hospital clinical nurses" (Fackler et al., 2015). Research Question "The main questions this study sought to answer included: what is the lived experience of power to hospital clinical nurses; and what is the meaning of power to hospital clinical nurses in the context of their professional role?" (Fackler et al., 2015). Based on the fact that the goal of a phenomenological research is to achieve understanding of an experience from the perspective of the participants (Schmidt & Brown, 2015), I found these ...

Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis Paper 1.Introduction The escalating liberalization of international trade that occurred during the decades following World War II under the impulse of various multilateral agreements and organizations has brought about a dramatic change in the geographic scope of logistics and freight transportation systems. While new trade ties have emerged with East Asia, long–time trading partners such as the United States and European nations have also intensified their trade relationships, to the point that the European Union is the largest trading partner of the United States and this trade represents 4% of U.S. gross domestic product (BEA, 2010). The intensification of long–haul trade routes has reinforced the critical role of seaports, as gateways to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... We look at competition and positioning of these ports with respect to shippers and their geographic location on the European continent. We separately consider their linkages with U.S. ports of entry; finally, we also look at port traffic from the angle of the types of commodity handled. Each analysis produces a functional space of European forwarding ports from one of the three perspectives.

The Johnson Product hair line of products was well known in the 1970's for having the best products for African–Americans. Johnson Products had two divisions in their hair line. One was Ultra Sheen, the other was the natural hair line marketed as Afro–Sheen. The slogan was, soul food for the natural. However, there is not a lot of statistical data to support what is known. The sale of relaxers is on the decline. Since hair maintenance is not optional, it is safe to assume that if relaxers are on the decline, then natural hair products are on the rise. This is a booming market. The research firm Mintel estimates the total sale of Black hair products totaled $2.7 billion in 2015.

The descriptive variables utilized in the case study regarding older community–dwelling patients with diabetes are age, gender, race, morbidity level, and chronic disease conditions. The descriptive data provides a detailed image of the population of participating in the study. The average age of patients participating in the study was 74.7 years, with the age of 73 being the most frequent. Of the three hundred ninety–two patients participating in the study, a little over half of the study participates were white men. Ninety–seven percent of the participates reported a "high risk" or "very high risk" morbidity level. Last, the descriptive variable assessing chronic health conditions reflected that 100% of participates have diabetes. Greater than 20 % of the patients reported hypertension, lipid disorder, degenerative joint disease, ischemic heart... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... An additional method to determine an outlier is to consider the distribution of the outlier to the median as opposed to the mean. Based on this principle, a value is considered an outlier if "positioned 1.5 times the value of the 75th percentile in a distribution" (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). In the case study, the boxplot figure displays values above and below the 75th percentile or the whiskers (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). However, the principal investigator of the study determined these values should be included as they provide meaning to the final results. In some situations when the outliers cause a skew in the distribution, other solutions or techniques should be pursued for analysis(Sylvia & Terhaar, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 31. The World Testifies Of Data And Our Understanding Of It Essay 1.1Introduction (Ian, Frank & Hall 2011) The world testifies to the increasing gap between the development of data and our understanding of it. Data mining is defined as the analysis of big observational data sets to establish unsuspected relationships that summarize the data in a novel, understandable and useful way to the data owner (David, Heikki & Padhraic 2001). These relationships and summaries are referred to as models or patterns. Patterns comprise sets of co–occurring attribute values referred to as item sets or more complex patterns that include sequences, which consider explicit precedence relationships that are either positional or temporal, and graphs considering arbitrary relationships between points (Mohammed and Wagner 2014). Other types of additional summarised relationships include rules, clusters, tree structures among others. Lying hidden in all this data is information– potentially useful information–that is rarely made explicit or taken advantage of. Data mining activity for pattern deployment is achieved automatically or semi automatically (Ian, Frank & Hall 2011). The realised patterns lead to some economic advantage. Patterns can also be expressed or as a transparent box constructed to reveal the structure of the pattern with the assumption that the realised patterns make good predictions. Data mining is used in variety of fields and applications (Galit, Stiumueli, Natin & Peter 2010). This includes the military for purposes of intelligence, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Multiple types of study designs can be used when researching dependent on the information the researchers are trying to obtain. In the article, the researchers described the design as exploratory using semi–structured focus groups for data collection. Recordings were made of the interviews and then analyzed for similar themes. This type of design is called descriptive phenomenology which participants describe lived experiences through detailed interview or conversational process and then researchers bracket the opinions in their study (Polit & Beck, 2014).

The term refer to any type of qualitative research study that produces findings not arrived by the way of statistical procedures or other means of quantification (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). The qualitative method, naturalistic approach is use to observe and interpret reality with the purpose of developing a theory that will explain what was experienced. The qualitative examination reflect some type of individual phenomenological point of view. Douglas (1976) and Greertz (1973) believe that numerous substances exist and various elucidation are accessible from distinctive people that are all similarly legitimate.

The median is resistant to extreme observations because its based on the middle one or two observations of the ordered list, while the mean is nonresistant due to the influence of few extreme observations. 5. In stats, spread is a way to measure the variability of the observations around the center. 6. To calculate Q1 and Q3 , you must first arrange the observations in increasing order to find the median, Q1 is the median of the observations whose position in the list is to the left of the overall median, Q3 is the median of the observations whose position in the list is to the right of the overall median. 7. The five–number summary is minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum 8. Standard deviation measures spread. 9. The relationship between variance and standard deviation is that the standard deviation(s) is the square root of the variance s2. 10. Standard deviation equals zero when there is no spread, that only happens when all observations have the same value. 11. Standard deviation is non resistant to extreme observations because strong skewness or a few outliers can make the standard deviation very large. 2.1 Density Curves and the Normal Distributions A density curve is a curve that is always above or on the x–axis and one that has its area exactly one underneath that ...

  • 46. Using Data Analysis For Mixed Methods There are many general guidelines that can help researchers in mixed methods designs to conduct an effective data analysis. Data analysis strategy depends on the type of mixed methods design. Creswell (2007) suggested number of essential considerations should be in account when conducting mixed methods data analysis: 1.The analysis strategy should be used in order to answer the research question(s) being asked. The questions are different according to the research design as discussed earlier in this paper. 2. Data analysis approach will relate to either concurrent data analysis (Triangulation and embedded designs) or sequential data analysis (Explanatory, exploratory, and embedded designs). As discussed before, data may be merged or embedded in concurrent approach and connected or embedded in sequential approach. 3. In the concurrent approach, the analyses of quantitative and qualitative date are done separately, while in sequential approach the analysis of the first step of the study is used to inform the second step. For example, in sequential approach, if the first phase is qualitative design, then data analysis and the findings will guide data collection in the second phase (e.g., quantitative phase). 4.
