explain the different roles of basic and applied research
describe the different criteria for success of basic and applied research
explain why government policymakers seem to prefer applied research
describe how basic research reflects liberal democratic values
Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was at the core of the compact between government and science that led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book, Donald Stokes challenges Bush’s view and maintains that we can only rebuild the relationship between government and the scientific community when we understand what is wrong with that view.
Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the “second industrial revolution,” when the relationship between basic science and technological change assumed its modern form. Over subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-based. But science has been increasingly technology-based–with the choice of problems and the conduct of research often inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time of the transistor’s discovery after World War II.
On this revised, interactive view of science and technology, Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new compact between science and government. His conclusions have major implications for both the scientific and policy communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in American democracy.

EXERCISE 9.4 Using Structured Interview Questions from the GSS .docx
EXERCISE 9.4 Using Structured Interview Questions from the GSS
The GSS, conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), uses a structured interview schedule.
The GSS was administered annually from 1972 and then biennially from 1994 to a national probability sample.
Some questions are asked on every survey, other questions have rotated, and some have been used only in a single survey.
The GSS measures a great many variables using answers to questions as indicators.
The variables included on past surveys cover a wide range of behaviors, among them drinking behavior, membership in voluntary associations and the practice of religion, and numerous attitudes, such as opinions about abortion, affirmative action, capital punishment, family roles, and confidence in the military.
Browse through the archives of the GSS to find questions asked between 1972 and 2008, which is available at
http://sda.berkeley.edu/archive.htm
and select a few variables of interest.
1.List the names of the variable and the questions on the GSS that are the indicator(s) of those variables.
2.Comment on the specific questions that were used. Do you think they are valid indicators for the variables? Are the questions clear and easy to understand?
What do you think of the answer categories?

Exercise 29Calculating Simple Linear RegressionSimple linear reg.docx
Exercise 29
Calculating Simple Linear Regression
Simple linear regression
is a procedure that provides an estimate of the value of a dependent variable (outcome) based on the value of an independent variable (predictor). Knowing that estimate with some degree of accuracy, we can use regression analysis to predict the value of one variable if we know the value of the other variable (
Cohen & Cohen, 1983
). The regression equation is a mathematical expression of the influence that a predictor has on a dependent variable, based on some theoretical framework. For example, in
Exercise 14
,
Figure 14-1
illustrates the linear relationship between gestational age and birth weight. As shown in the scatterplot, there is a strong positive relationship between the two variables. Advanced gestational ages predict higher birth weights.
A regression equation can be generated with a data set containing subjects'
x
and
y
values. Once this equation is generated, it can be used to predict future subjects'
y
values, given only their
x
values. In simple or bivariate regression, predictions are made in cases with two variables. The score on variable
y
(dependent variable, or outcome) is predicted from the same subject's known score on variable
x
(independent variable, or predictor).
Research Designs Appropriate for Simple Linear Regression
Research designs that may utilize simple linear regression include any associational design (
Gliner et al., 2009
). The variables involved in the design are attributional, meaning the variables are characteristics of the participant, such as health status, blood pressure, gender, diagnosis, or ethnicity. Regardless of the nature of variables, the dependent variable submitted to simple linear regression must be measured as continuous, at the interval or ratio level.
Statistical Formula and Assumptions
Use of simple linear regression involves the following assumptions (
Zar, 2010
):
1.
Normal distribution of the dependent (
y
) variable
2.
Linear relationship between
x
and
y
3.
Independent observations
4.
No (or little) multicollinearity
5.
Homoscedasticity
320
Data that are
homoscedastic
are evenly dispersed both above and below the regression line, which indicates a linear relationship on a scatterplot. Homoscedasticity reflects equal variance of both variables. In other words, for every value of
x
, the distribution of
y
values should have equal variability. If the data for the predictor and dependent variable are not homoscedastic, inferences made during significance testing could be invalid (
Cohen & Cohen, 1983
;
Zar, 2010
). Visual examples of homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity are presented in
Exercise 30
.
In simple linear regression, the dependent variable is continuous, and the predictor can be any scale of measurement; however, if the predictor is nominal, it must be correctly coded. Once the data are ready, the parameters
a
and
b
are computed to obtain a regression equatio.

Exercise 14Understanding Simple Linear RegressionStatistical Tec.docx
Exercise 14
Understanding Simple Linear Regression
Statistical Technique in Review
In nursing practice, the ability to predict future events or outcomes is crucial, and researchers calculate and report linear regression results as a basis for making these predictions.
Linear regression
provides a means to estimate or predict the value of a dependent variable based on the value of one or more independent variables. The regression equation is a mathematical expression of a causal proposition emerging from a theoretical framework. The linkage between the theoretical statement and the equation is made prior to data collection and analysis. Linear regression is a statistical method of estimating the expected value of one variable,
y
, given the value of another variable,
x
. The focus of this exercise is
simple linear regression
, which involves the use of one independent variable,
x
, to predict one dependent variable,
y
.
The regression line developed from simple linear regression is usually plotted on a graph, with the horizontal axis representing
x
(the independent or predictor variable) and the vertical axis representing the
y
(the dependent or predicted variable; see
Figure 14-1
). The value represented by the letter
a
is referred to as the
y
intercept, or the point where the regression line crosses or intercepts the
y
-axis. At this point on the regression line,
x
= 0. The value represented by the letter
b
is referred to as the slope, or the coefficient of
x
. The slope determines the direction and angle of the regression line within the graph. The slope expresses the extent to which
y
changes for every one-unit change in
x
. The score on variable
y
(dependent variable) is predicted from the subject's known score on variable
x
(independent variable). The predicted score or estimate is referred to as
Ŷ
(expressed as
y
-hat) (
Cohen, 1988
;
Grove, Burns, & Gray, 2013
;
Zar, 2010
).
FIGURE 14-1
GRAPH OF A SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION LINE
140
Simple linear regression is an effort to explain the dynamics within a scatterplot (see
Exercise 11
) by drawing a straight line through the plotted scores. No single regression line can be used to predict, with complete accuracy, every
y
value from every
x
value. However, the purpose of the regression equation is to develop the line to allow the highest degree of prediction possible, the
line of best fit
. The procedure for developing the line of best fit is the
method of least squares
. If the data were perfectly correlated, all data points would fall along the straight line or line of best fit. However, not all data points fall on the line of best fit in studies, but the line of best fit provides the best equation for the values of
y
to be predicted by locating the intersection of points on the line for any given value of
x
.
The algebraic equation for the regression line of best fit is

Calculating Descriptive Statistics
There are two major classes of statistics: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics are computed to reveal characteristics of the sample data set and to describe study variables. Inferential statistics are computed to gain information about effects and associations in the population being studied. For some types of studies, descriptive statistics will be the only approach to analysis of the data. For other studies, descriptive statistics are the first step in the data analysis process, to be followed by inferential statistics. For all studies that involve numerical data, descriptive statistics are crucial in understanding the fundamental properties of the variables being studied. Exercise 27 focuses only on descriptive statistics and will illustrate the most common descriptive statistics computed in nursing research and provide examples using actual clinical data from empirical publications.
Measures of Central Tendency
A
measure of central tendency
is a statistic that represents the center or middle of a frequency distribution. The three measures of central tendency commonly used in nursing research are the mode, median (
MD
), and mean (
). The mean is the arithmetic average of all of a variable's values. The median is the exact middle value (or the average of the middle two values if there is an even number of observations). The mode is the most commonly occurring value or values (see
Exercise 8
).
The following data have been collected from veterans with rheumatoid arthritis (
Tran, Hooker, Cipher, & Reimold, 2009
). The values in
Table 27-1
were extracted from a larger sample of veterans who had a history of biologic medication use (e.g., infliximab [Remicade], etanercept [Enbrel]).
Table 27-1
contains data collected from 10 veterans who had stopped taking biologic medications, and the variable represents the number of years that each veteran had taken the medication before stopping.

Because the number of study subjects represented below is 10, the correct statistical notation to reflect that number is:
Note that the

is lowercase, because we are referring to a sample of veterans. If the data being presented represented the entire population of veterans, the correct notation is the uppercase
N.
Because most nursing research is conducted using samples, not populations, all formulas in the subsequent exercises will incorporate the sample notation,
n.
Mode
The
mode
is the numerical value or score that occurs with the greatest frequency; it does not necessarily indicate the center of the data set. The data in

explain why government policymakers seem to prefer applied research

Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was at the core of the compact between government and science that led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book, Donald Stokes challenges Bush’s view and maintains that we can only rebuild the relationship between government and the scientific community when we understand what is wrong with that view.
Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the “second industrial revolution,” when the relationship between basic science and technological change assumed its modern form. Over subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-based. But science has been increasingly technology-based–with the choice of problems and the conduct of research often inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time of the transistor’s discovery after World War II.
On this revised, interactive view of science and technology, Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new compact between science and government. His conclusions have major implications for both the scientific and policy communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in American democracy.

EXERCISE 9.4 Using Structured Interview Questions from the GSS .docx
EXERCISE 9.4 Using Structured Interview Questions from the GSS
The GSS, conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), uses a structured interview schedule.
The GSS was administered annually from 1972 and then biennially from 1994 to a national probability sample.
Some questions are asked on every survey, other questions have rotated, and some have been used only in a single survey.
The GSS measures a great many variables using answers to questions as indicators.
The variables included on past surveys cover a wide range of behaviors, among them drinking behavior, membership in voluntary associations and the practice of religion, and numerous attitudes, such as opinions about abortion, affirmative action, capital punishment, family roles, and confidence in the military.
Browse through the archives of the GSS to find questions asked between 1972 and 2008, which is available at
http://sda.berkeley.edu/archive.htm
and select a few variables of interest.
1.List the names of the variable and the questions on the GSS that are the indicator(s) of those variables.
2.Comment on the specific questions that were used. Do you think they are valid indicators for the variables? Are the questions clear and easy to understand?
What do you think of the answer categories?

Exercise 29Calculating Simple Linear RegressionSimple linear reg.docx
Exercise 29
Calculating Simple Linear Regression
Simple linear regression
is a procedure that provides an estimate of the value of a dependent variable (outcome) based on the value of an independent variable (predictor). Knowing that estimate with some degree of accuracy, we can use regression analysis to predict the value of one variable if we know the value of the other variable (
Cohen & Cohen, 1983
). The regression equation is a mathematical expression of the influence that a predictor has on a dependent variable, based on some theoretical framework. For example, in
Exercise 14
,
Figure 14-1
illustrates the linear relationship between gestational age and birth weight. As shown in the scatterplot, there is a strong positive relationship between the two variables. Advanced gestational ages predict higher birth weights.
A regression equation can be generated with a data set containing subjects'
x
and
y
values. Once this equation is generated, it can be used to predict future subjects'
y
values, given only their
x
values. In simple or bivariate regression, predictions are made in cases with two variables. The score on variable
y
(dependent variable, or outcome) is predicted from the same subject's known score on variable
x
(independent variable, or predictor).
Research Designs Appropriate for Simple Linear Regression
Research designs that may utilize simple linear regression include any associational design (
Gliner et al., 2009
). The variables involved in the design are attributional, meaning the variables are characteristics of the participant, such as health status, blood pressure, gender, diagnosis, or ethnicity. Regardless of the nature of variables, the dependent variable submitted to simple linear regression must be measured as continuous, at the interval or ratio level.
Statistical Formula and Assumptions
Use of simple linear regression involves the following assumptions (
Zar, 2010
):
1.
Normal distribution of the dependent (
y
) variable
2.
Linear relationship between
x
and
y
3.
Independent observations
4.
No (or little) multicollinearity
5.
Homoscedasticity
320
Data that are
homoscedastic
are evenly dispersed both above and below the regression line, which indicates a linear relationship on a scatterplot. Homoscedasticity reflects equal variance of both variables. In other words, for every value of
x
, the distribution of
y
values should have equal variability. If the data for the predictor and dependent variable are not homoscedastic, inferences made during significance testing could be invalid (
Cohen & Cohen, 1983
;
Zar, 2010
). Visual examples of homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity are presented in
Exercise 30
.
In simple linear regression, the dependent variable is continuous, and the predictor can be any scale of measurement; however, if the predictor is nominal, it must be correctly coded. Once the data are ready, the parameters
a
and
b
are computed to obtain a regression equatio.

Exercise 14Understanding Simple Linear RegressionStatistical Tec.docx
Exercise 14
Understanding Simple Linear Regression
Statistical Technique in Review
In nursing practice, the ability to predict future events or outcomes is crucial, and researchers calculate and report linear regression results as a basis for making these predictions.
Linear regression
provides a means to estimate or predict the value of a dependent variable based on the value of one or more independent variables. The regression equation is a mathematical expression of a causal proposition emerging from a theoretical framework. The linkage between the theoretical statement and the equation is made prior to data collection and analysis. Linear regression is a statistical method of estimating the expected value of one variable,
y
, given the value of another variable,
x
. The focus of this exercise is
simple linear regression
, which involves the use of one independent variable,
x
, to predict one dependent variable,
y
.
The regression line developed from simple linear regression is usually plotted on a graph, with the horizontal axis representing
x
(the independent or predictor variable) and the vertical axis representing the
y
(the dependent or predicted variable; see
Figure 14-1
). The value represented by the letter
a
is referred to as the
y
intercept, or the point where the regression line crosses or intercepts the
y
-axis. At this point on the regression line,
x
= 0. The value represented by the letter
b
is referred to as the slope, or the coefficient of
x
. The slope determines the direction and angle of the regression line within the graph. The slope expresses the extent to which
y
changes for every one-unit change in
x
. The score on variable
y
(dependent variable) is predicted from the subject's known score on variable
x
(independent variable). The predicted score or estimate is referred to as
Ŷ
(expressed as
y
-hat) (
Cohen, 1988
;
Grove, Burns, & Gray, 2013
;
Zar, 2010
).
FIGURE 14-1
GRAPH OF A SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION LINE
140
Simple linear regression is an effort to explain the dynamics within a scatterplot (see
Exercise 11
) by drawing a straight line through the plotted scores. No single regression line can be used to predict, with complete accuracy, every
y
value from every
x
value. However, the purpose of the regression equation is to develop the line to allow the highest degree of prediction possible, the
line of best fit
. The procedure for developing the line of best fit is the
method of least squares
. If the data were perfectly correlated, all data points would fall along the straight line or line of best fit. However, not all data points fall on the line of best fit in studies, but the line of best fit provides the best equation for the values of
y
to be predicted by locating the intersection of points on the line for any given value of
x

Calculating Descriptive Statistics
There are two major classes of statistics: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics are computed to reveal characteristics of the sample data set and to describe study variables. Inferential statistics are computed to gain information about effects and associations in the population being studied. For some types of studies, descriptive statistics will be the only approach to analysis of the data. For other studies, descriptive statistics are the first step in the data analysis process, to be followed by inferential statistics. For all studies that involve numerical data, descriptive statistics are crucial in understanding the fundamental properties of the variables being studied. Exercise 27 focuses only on descriptive statistics and will illustrate the most common descriptive statistics computed in nursing research and provide examples using actual clinical data from empirical publications.
Measures of Central Tendency
A
measure of central tendency
is a statistic that represents the center or middle of a frequency distribution. The three measures of central tendency commonly used in nursing research are the mode, median (
MD
), and mean (
). The mean is the arithmetic average of all of a variable's values. The median is the exact middle value (or the average of the middle two values if there is an even number of observations). The mode is the most commonly occurring value or values (see
Exercise 8
).
The following data have been collected from veterans with rheumatoid arthritis (
Tran, Hooker, Cipher, & Reimold, 2009
). The values in
Table 27-1
were extracted from a larger sample of veterans who had a history of biologic medication use (e.g., infliximab [Remicade], etanercept [Enbrel]).
Table 27-1
contains data collected from 10 veterans who had stopped taking biologic medications, and the variable represents the number of years that each veteran had taken the medication before stopping.

Because the number of study subjects represented below is 10, the correct statistical notation to reflect that number is:
Note that the
n
is lowercase, because we are referring to a sample of veterans. If the data being presented represented the entire population of veterans, the correct notation is the uppercase
N.
Because most nursing research is conducted using samples, not populations, all formulas in the subsequent exercises will incorporate the sample notation,
n.
Mode
The
mode
is the numerical value or score that occurs with the greatest frequency; it does not necessarily indicate the center of the data set. The data in
Table 27-1
contain two
292
modes: 1.5 and 3.0. Each of these numbers occurred twice in the data s.

https://app.box.com/s/y977uz6bpd3af4qsebv7r9b7s21935vdA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
