The document summarizes cell division and the cell cycle. It describes the key stages and phases of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells through prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Meiosis produces four unique haploid daughter cells through two rounds of division and involves genetic shuffling through crossing over and independent assortment. The cell cycle and both mitosis and meiosis are essential for asexual and sexual reproduction.
The document provides an overview of meiosis cell division. It defines meiosis as a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes. Meiosis occurs in two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II, and has four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair and may exchange genetic material through crossing over, resulting in genetic variation. This reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid. Meiosis II then divides the haploid cells into four haploid daughter cells.

Mitosis and the cell cycle are necessary for three key reasons:
1. Asexual reproduction, as seen in binary fission in bacteria.
2. To replace damaged or dead cells through growth and development.
3. Embryonic development in organisms occurs through cell division of cells like bone marrow and frog embryos.
The document discusses cell division and the cell cycle. It begins by outlining the key phases of the cell cycle - interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Interphase is further broken down into the G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and duplicates its contents. Mitosis is the phase where the cell nucleus divides into two identical nuclei. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. The document also discusses DNA structure and replication, noting the double helix structure and enzymes involved in duplicating DNA. Abnormal cell division can lead to diseases like cancer if the cell cycle is not properly controlled.
Cell division occurs through mitosis and cytokinesis to produce two daughter cells. Mitosis involves the division of the cell nucleus through processes like prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm to form two distinct cells. Cell division is important for growth, repair of damaged cells, and reproduction.
Cell division occurs through either mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells during somatic cell division. It has four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Meiosis produces gametes through two cell divisions that result in four haploid cells each with one copy of each chromosome. Meiosis has two rounds: meiosis I which separates homologous chromosomes, and meiosis II which separates sister chromatids. Both ensure genetic variation between offspring.

All living things are composed of cells, the basic unit of structure and function. Robert Hooke first observed cells in 1665 using a microscope to look at cork, naming the structures "cells". The cell theory developed in the 1800s states that all organisms are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and new cells are produced from existing cells.
This document discusses the cell cycle and cell division processes of mitosis and meiosis. It provides details on the stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle including interphase and the M phase. Interphase consists of G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA. The M phase encompasses mitosis and cytokinesis to divide the cell. Mitosis divides the nucleus to produce two identical daughter cells, while meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half to form gametes during sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. It involves two rounds of cell division, meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosome pairs separate and are distributed into two daughter cells, reducing the chromosome number by half. Meiosis II then separates the sister chromatids, resulting in four daughter cells each containing a single set of non-identical chromosomes derived from the original parent cell.
Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are the processes by which sperm and egg cells are produced through cell division and maturation. Spermatogenesis occurs within the coiled tubes of the testes and involves successive cell divisions through mitosis and meiosis to produce mature sperm cells continuously from adolescence to around age 50. Oogenesis takes place within the ovaries and involves a prolonged development of oocytes through meiosis, with only one oocyte maturing into a single egg cell per monthly cycle until menopause.
The document discusses how cells reproduce through cell division processes like mitosis and meiosis. It explains that mitosis results in two identical daughter cells while meiosis produces four haploid cells through two cell divisions. The stages of mitosis and meiosis are compared, and meiosis is described as introducing genetic variation through crossing over during prophase I which provides an advantage over asexual reproduction.
Meiosis is a two-step cell division process that produces gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes. It consists of Meiosis I, which separates homologous chromosome pairs, and Meiosis II, which separates sister chromatids. This results in four haploid daughter cells from one original diploid cell. The document provides details on the stages of meiosis, including prophase I with chromosome pairing and crossing over, and discusses how meiosis contributes to genetic diversity.
Meiosis is the process by which germ cells are produced with half the normal number of chromosomes. It occurs in two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and may exchange genetic material through crossing over. The homologous chromosomes then separate, reducing the chromosome number by half. Meiosis II then divides the remaining chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells that are genetically unique from each other and the original cell. Meiosis ensures genetic variation in offspring and prevents organisms from accumulating extra chromosomes over successive generations.
Cell membranes are composed of lipids (45%), proteins (45%), and carbohydrates (10%). Lipids form a bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing out and hydrophobic tails facing inward. Membrane proteins can be peripheral or integral. Peripheral proteins attach to lipid heads while integral proteins span or embed within the membrane. Together, lipids and proteins give cell membranes a fluid mosaic structure and allow them to perform important functions like selectively regulating transport into and out of the cell.

Cell division is the process where a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. There are two main types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells through several phases - the chromosomes are replicated in prophase, aligned in metaphase, separated in anaphase, and divided into daughter cells in telophase. The daughter cells are identical to the original parent cell and have the same number of chromosomes. Mitosis is used for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in simple organisms.
The document describes the stages of the cell cycle: Interphase where the cell matures and chromosomes copy; Prophase where the nuclear membrane disappears and spindle fibers form; Metaphase where chromosomes line up in the middle; Anaphase where chromosome pairs split and are pulled to opposite poles; Telophase where two new nuclei form at the poles; and Cytokinesis where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, such as sperm or egg cells, with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. It involves two cell divisions - Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Meiosis is a process of nuclear division that reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid. It occurs in two divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II, producing four haploid daughter cells. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, reducing the number by half. Meiosis II then separates sister chromatids, similar to mitosis, resulting in four haploid cells each with half the original chromosome number. This ensures genetic variation and maintains the diploid number after fertilization.
Cell division occurs through two main processes - mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells during normal growth and tissue repair. Meiosis produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells from a single diploid parent cell, which occurs during gamete formation. This introduces genetic diversity when gametes fuse during fertilization. The key events of meiosis include homologous chromosome pairing during prophase I and their subsequent separation in anaphase I, followed by two rounds of chromosome separation to form four unique haploid cells.
This document summarizes different types of cellular transport, including passive transport mechanisms like diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis as well as active transport mechanisms like protein pumps, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Passive transport involves the diffusion of molecules or ions down their concentration gradient without cellular energy expenditure, while active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient by using energy in the form of ATP.
Cell division involves DNA replication and chromosome separation to form new cells. Mitosis produces two daughter cells with identical genetic material for cell growth and replacement. Meiosis produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number through two cell divisions, resulting in genetic diversity in offspring from sexual reproduction.
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. There are two main types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells during growth and repair of the body. It ensures the genetic makeup remains the same. Meiosis produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes and involves two cell divisions. It results in genetic diversity that is important for sexual reproduction.
Cell division ensures the passage of genetic information from one generation of cells to the next. Mitosis and meiosis are the two main types of cell division. Mitosis produces somatic cells for growth and repair through binary fission in prokaryotes or nuclear division and cytokinesis in eukaryotes. Meiosis produces gametes through two rounds of nuclear division followed by cytokinesis, resulting in four haploid cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Sexual reproduction requires the fusion of gametes during fertilization to form a diploid zygote and increase genetic variation in offspring.
Cells need to divide for three main reasons: growth and repair of tissues, reproduction, and replacement of dying cells. There are two main types of cell division: mitosis, which produces identical body cells, and meiosis, which creates gametes for sexual reproduction. The cell cycle consists of interphase, where the cell grows and its DNA is replicated, and the M phase where the cell divides through mitosis or meiosis. Strict controls regulate the cell cycle to ensure cells only divide as needed. Cancer occurs when cells lose their ability to regulate division.
This document discusses genetic inheritance and cell division. It covers topics like duplicating genetic information in DNA, the structure of chromosomes, the cell cycle phases including interphase and mitosis, cancer and how it relates to the cell cycle, and the two types of cell division - mitosis which produces identical daughter cells and meiosis which reduces the chromosome number to produce gametes like eggs and sperm. The key stages of meiosis including prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I and telophase I are compared to the stages of mitosis.
Cell division occurs through mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells and is used for growth and repair. Meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid gametes and is required for sexual reproduction. It involves two cell divisions: meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes and meiosis II separates sister chromatids. Errors in meiosis can result in aneuploidy and conditions like Down syndrome.
This document provides information about genetics and heredity. It defines key terms like DNA, genes, chromosomes, and genotypes. It explains that DNA contains the instructions for building proteins, and that genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins. Chromosomes are structures that DNA winds into. Humans have 23 chromosome pairs. The document also covers inheritance patterns, including dominant and recessive alleles, and uses examples like eye color and blood types to demonstrate genetic concepts. It distinguishes between monogenic and polygenic traits and notes that both genes and the environment contribute to a person's phenotype.
The document outlines the three major stages of transcription and translation: 1) replication, where DNA is copied during cell division; 2) transcription, where part of a DNA strand is copied into mRNA; and 3) translation, where the mRNA is used by the ribosome to produce a polypeptide based on the mRNA codons. During translation, tRNAs bring amino acids to the ribosome which link them together based on the mRNA codons to form a protein.
This presentation explains the topic of CELL CYCLE and CELL DIVISION.
It includes cell mitosis of both Plant cell and Animal cell with labelled diagrams.
The cell cycle is the repeating series of growth and division that produces new cells. It consists of interphase, where the cell grows and DNA is replicated, and mitosis, where the cell divides into two daughter cells each with identical DNA. Chromosomes, made of DNA and proteins, condense during cell division and separate into each new cell, ensuring genetic continuity. The cycle controls cell growth, division, and death through regulated phases.

The document discusses the process of mitosis and how it differs between plants and animals. Mitosis is the process where the nucleus divides to form two new nuclei. In animals, mitosis involves the formation of centrioles and spindle fibers that pull sister chromatids apart. In plants, centrioles are not present and cell division involves plant-specific structures. The stages of mitosis - interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis - result in two daughter cells with identical chromosomes to the parent cell.
Cell division occurs through mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells for growth and tissue repair. It has four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, followed by cytokinesis. Meiosis produces four non-identical sex cells and reduces the chromosome number by half. It has two rounds of division followed by cytokinesis. The cell cycle regulates cell division, consisting of interphase and the mitotic phase.
The document discusses cell growth and reproduction, including asexual and sexual reproduction. It defines key terms like growth, reproduction, asexual reproduction, and sexual reproduction. It provides examples of asexual reproduction through binary fission in prokaryotes like bacteria. It also discusses examples of sexual reproduction through mitosis in eukaryotic cells like plants, animals and humans. The document explains the process of binary fission and mitosis at a high level.
Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with identical copies of DNA as the parent cell. It has four main phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During prophase the chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle forms. In metaphase the chromosomes align in the center of the cell. Anaphase involves the separation of sister chromatids to opposite poles. Telophase concludes with the formation of two daughter cell membranes pinching the cell in two.
The document discusses how multicellular organisms grow. It states that growth occurs through cell division, not by individual cells increasing in size. It also notes that for binary fission to occur in bacteria, the cell must grow in size and duplicate its DNA so that each new cell has its own copy.
This document provides an overview of a course on cytology and cell physiology. It discusses the basic structure and functions of cells, including the evolution of the cell theory and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Theories on the origin of life and cells are presented, including the serial endosymbiosis theory. Characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are described. The document concludes with assessments for the course.
3 Explanation - Mitosis and Meiosis Presentation - Standard Version.pptxdennisacadnew2
Mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells from one parent cell and is used for growth and repair of the body. Meiosis produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells from one parent cell and is required for sexual reproduction to create egg and sperm cells. The key differences are that mitosis results in two diploid cells while meiosis results in four haploid cells, and meiosis involves two cell divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) while mitosis involves one cell division.

This document provides information about cellular division and the cell cycle. It discusses that all cells are derived from pre-existing cells, and that new cells are produced for growth and to replace damaged or old cells. It also notes that cellular division differs between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The key stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle are then described, including interphase consisting of G1, S, and G2 phases, and the M phase involving mitosis and cytokinesis. The stages of mitosis - prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase - are outlined. Cellular division in prokaryotes via binary fission is also summarized.
The document discusses the cell cycle and reproduction. It describes the main stages of the cell cycle - interphase consisting of G1, S, and G2 phases and mitosis consisting of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. It also discusses meiosis and how it produces gametes through two cell divisions rather than one, resulting in halved chromosome number and genetic variation important for sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes during processes like internal and external fertilization.
Cells reproduce through mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells and is used for growth and tissue repair. Meiosis produces gametes (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes and involves two cell divisions. This ensures genetic variation in the offspring. Gametogenesis refers to the specific process of gamete formation, which is spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis in females.
Cells undergo a cell cycle of growth, DNA replication, and cell division. The cell cycle consists of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the original parent cell. While plant and animal cells both divide via mitosis, there are differences in how cytokinesis occurs - plant cells form a cell plate, while animal cells pinch in two using a contracting ring of microfilaments.
The document discusses various stimulant-related and substance use disorders as defined by the DSM-5 including amphetamines, cocaine, nicotine, caffeine, opioids, cannabis, and synthetic cannabinoids. It provides information on the physiological and psychological effects of these substances as well as statistics on prevalence and negative health consequences of chronic use. Diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders and intoxication/withdrawal symptoms are also reviewed.
The document discusses different types of amnesia and their relationship to brain regions. It describes how Parkinson's disease patients, who have basal ganglia impairments, can initially perform normal tasks but do not show gradual improvement on habit learning tasks. It also discusses Korsakoff's syndrome, which is caused by thiamine deficiency and results in dense amnesia and confabulation, and Alzheimer's disease, which is associated with amyloid-β and tau protein accumulation leading to neuronal damage.
Reptiles were the first terrestrial vertebrates and dominated during the Mesozoic era. There are around 7,000 reptile species worldwide today, with the most successful group being squamates (snakes and lizards). Reptiles are characterized by scaly skin, laying amniotic eggs, and various anatomical adaptations for living on land such as efficient lungs and kidneys. The four surviving orders are squamates, crocodilians, turtles, and the tuatara; turtles are notable for their protective shells.
Amphibians evolved from lobe-finned fishes around 345 million years ago. They can live both on land and in water, using various organs for respiration in different environments. There are over 2,000 living amphibian species classified into four orders: Anura (frogs and toads), Urodela (salamanders), Trachystoma (mud eels), and Apoda (caecilians). Amphibians have key adaptations like permeable skin and an aquatic larval stage that allow them to transition between aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
The document summarizes the key components and functions of the integumentary system. It describes the two main layers of the skin - the epidermis and dermis - as well as accessory structures like hair, nails, and glands. The epidermis is made up of keratinized epithelial tissue in multiple layers that provides protection. The dermis below contains connective tissue, fibers, and structures like hair follicles and sweat glands. The skin regulates body temperature, protects the body, and plays roles in sensation, vitamin D production, and waste excretion.
- Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, most of which are microscopic. They are classified into three main groups: animal-like protists which are heterotrophic and motile, plant-like protists which are photosynthetic, and fungi-like protists which are decomposers.
- Protists exhibit characteristics of both unicellular and multicellular organisms. They can reproduce both sexually through meiosis and gamete formation, and asexually through binary fission. Many important human diseases are caused by parasitic protists, such as malaria caused by Plasmodium and African sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma.
Viruses and bacteria are studied in biology class. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that have DNA, ribosomes, and cell walls, while viruses consist of genetic material inside a protein coat but cannot reproduce without infecting a host cell. The document discusses the structures and characteristics of bacteria and viruses, how some can cause diseases like strep throat, tuberculosis, and the common cold, and how antibiotics, antivirals, and vaccines can help treat and prevent infectious diseases.
Animal tissues are organized into four main types - epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous. Epithelial tissues cover external and internal surfaces and line organs. They form protective barriers and enable fluid/gas exchange. Connective tissues include bone, cartilage, blood and loose connective tissues that support and connect other tissues. They are made of cells within an extracellular matrix. Muscular tissues contain specialized contractile cells that generate force and motion. Nervous tissues transmit electrical signals in the brain, spinal cord and nerves to coordinate body functions.
Meristematic tissues are regions of cell division that give rise to primary tissues like epidermis and vascular tissue through apical and lateral meristems. Simple tissues are made of one cell type like parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Complex tissues include xylem, phloem, periderm, and secretory structures that transport substances and provide structure and protection.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce oxygen and glucose (food). Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy, using oxygen and producing carbon dioxide and water. These processes work together to transfer energy through ecosystems, with photosynthesis capturing solar energy which is then used and released through cellular respiration.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in their complexity. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and lack membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have organelles enclosed within membranes. Key differences include prokaryotes having circular DNA floating in the cytoplasm versus eukaryotes with linear DNA enclosed in a nucleus. Prokaryotes emerged billions of years ago as the first and only form of life for a long time, while eukaryotes developed later and are generally more complex with the potential to be multicellular. Both cell types share some basic components like cell membranes, ribosomes, and DNA.
This document provides an overview of plant systems and structures. It discusses the three basic plant organs of roots, stems, and leaves. It describes the tissues that make up plants, including dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. It explains that plants grow through cell division at meristems and differentiate cells. Primary growth increases length while secondary growth increases thickness. Meristems are dividing cells that allow for growth at tips and girth.
This document provides an overview of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. It describes how photosynthesis uses sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. The process occurs in chloroplasts and involves light and dark reactions. It also summarizes how cellular respiration harvests chemical energy from glucose to produce ATP through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain under aerobic conditions or lactic acid fermentation under anaerobic conditions.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
