M.br7 expl research
Exploratory research is initial, informal research conducted to clarify and define problems. It often involves qualitative data from techniques like interviews, case studies, and pilot studies. The goal is to gain insights rather than make conclusive findings. This chapter discusses common exploratory research methods like experience surveys, secondary data analysis, focus groups, projective techniques, and in-depth interviews. It explains how each technique works and its advantages/disadvantages. The purpose of exploratory research is to better understand a situation and generate ideas before quantitative studies are conducted.
Problem Formulation
Key aspects of formulating a research problem. Need of understanding the research problem. What, Why, and How in research. Characteristics of a good research problem.
Qualitative research techniques
The document discusses various qualitative research techniques including observation, focus groups, depth interviews, and projective techniques. Qualitative research involves observational techniques or unstructured questioning to understand behaviors, opinions, and motivations. Focus groups involve moderated group discussions with 8-12 screened participants to understand perceptions and generate ideas. Projective techniques use ambiguous stimuli to indirectly reveal respondents' views through activities like word associations, sentence completions, and cartoon interpretations. While qualitative techniques are suitable in theory for Asia-Pacific countries, cultural factors like preference for numbers over opinions and reluctance to discuss sensitive issues pose challenges to their practical use in most Asian markets.
Descriptive design questionnaire
The document discusses principles for designing effective questionnaires. It recommends limiting questions to those most relevant to the research questions, pre-testing questions on sample populations, and keeping questionnaires brief, typically under 30 minutes. It also advises avoiding double-barreled or negatively-worded questions, and carefully considering the ordering and structure of questions.

Qualitative and quantitative research
Qualitative and quantitative research methods are described. Qualitative research uses words, images and subjective approaches to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior through smaller focused samples. It is useful for exploratory research and answering "why" and "how" questions. Quantitative research uses numbers, logic and objective approaches through larger samples and is useful for validating facts and relationships through descriptive and causal studies. Examples of qualitative techniques include in-depth interviews, focus groups, and projective techniques, while surveys and experimentation are provided as quantitative methods.
methods of qualitative research
This presentation discusses methods of qualitative research. It describes direct methods like focus groups and in-depth interviews as well as indirect projective techniques. Focus groups involve small group discussions led by a moderator to explore topics determined by the researcher, while in-depth interviews are one-on-one conversations between a researcher and respondent. Projective techniques indirectly assess attitudes by asking respondents to interpret the behavior of others. Examples provided are word association, completion, and picture response techniques. Qualitative research is useful when quantitative methods cannot capture beliefs, meanings and symbols.

Here are a few ways we could use content analysis to test that belief:
1. Select a random sample of news articles, TV shows, movies, etc. that portray poor people. Develop a coding scheme to categorize how the poor are portrayed - e.g. as lazy, criminal, dependent on welfare, hard-working but struggling, etc. Two researchers would code the same materials to check reliability.
2. Count the frequency of different portrayals to see which are most common. We could test if negative portrayals outnumber positive or neutral ones in a statistically significant way.
3. Code for socioeconomic or racial demographics of characters portrayed as poor. We could test if certain groups are disproportionately represented in
Focus Group Discussion (Fgd)
Focus group discussions are a type of qualitative research where a small group of people are asked questions in an interactive group setting about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement or idea. They typically involve 8-12 participants and last 1-2 hours. Focus groups are used to explore complex behaviors and motivations, find consensus on topics, and gain insights in a friendly manner. They provide real-life data in a social environment quickly and cost-effectively, but require skilled facilitation and data is more difficult to analyze than quantitative data. Proper planning and facilitation is important to get useful results and deal with potential issues that may arise.
Problem statement by sureshaadi8888
The document discusses problem statements in research. It defines a problem statement as a well-structured formulation of what the problem is, what is not well understood, and what needs to be discovered to solve the problem. A good problem statement includes the relevance of the study, objectives, variables defined operationally, and delimitations. It also discusses selecting a research area, reviewing literature, delimiting the topic, evaluating significance and feasibility, and formulating a clear, precise statement of the research problem in declarative or interrogative format. An example problem statement on nosocomial infections among ICU patients is provided to demonstrate key components.
Survey Design: Introduction & Overview
The document provides an overview of key aspects of survey design, including question styles, response formats, sampling, and implementation. It discusses developing a questionnaire, types of questions, optimizing question wording and structure, pre-testing surveys, and sampling techniques. The goal is to introduce rigorous methodology to plan, develop, and implement effective research questionnaires.
Identification & formulation of problem
This document discusses identifying and formulating research problems. It defines a research problem as a question a researcher wants to answer or a problem they want to solve. Identifying and formulating the research problem is the first step in the research process. The document outlines the components of a research problem, sources of problems, criteria for selection, steps in identifying problems, and dos and don'ts for selecting a problem. It emphasizes that formulating a problem well is important, and describes the steps in properly formulating a problem, including developing a title, conceptual model, objectives, and hypotheses.

Research methodologies
This document provides an overview of quantitative and qualitative research methods. It discusses key differences between the two approaches, including their purposes, perspectives, data types, design considerations, and examples of methods. Quantitative research aims for precision and seeks common features through representative samples and systematic structured methods like surveys. Qualitative research seeks depth of understanding through methods like interviews and aims to understand specific cases in their uniqueness through open-ended flexible inquiry. Both approaches can be combined in mixed methods research.
Exploratory Research Design
Exploratory research design, also known as formative research, is used when the researcher is unfamiliar with the problem. It aims to discover new ideas and insights through flexible and unstructured methods like literature reviews, experience surveys, and case analyses. These methods help define the problem and form hypotheses for further investigation through more structured research.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
