Explanatory research - Research Methodology - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
This document discusses explanatory research and provides examples. Explanatory research aims to explain why events occur and test theories. It allows testing of specific theories and amendments to previous theories. One example tests a theory about reducing campus crime by limiting library access. Another analyzes the correlation between a region's migrant population share and support for anti-immigration initiatives in a Swiss referendum to see if attitudes towards migration relate to exposure to migrants. The research questions examine relationships between variables to help explain phenomena.
This document discusses key aspects of qualitative case study research. It outlines that case studies allow for an in-depth exploration of a phenomenon within its real-life context. The document discusses different approaches to case studies by researchers like Yin, Stake and Creswell. It also addresses important considerations for case study research like purposefully defining the case, collecting multiple sources of data, ensuring validity and ethics, and producing engaging written reports for academic audiences.
Research methods refer to the tools and techniques used to undertake a research study, such as surveys, interviews, experiments, etc. Research methodology is the systematic approach and justification for using specific research methods. It ensures accurate and valid conclusions by clarifying the logic and reasons for choosing certain methods over others. Research methods are employed later in the research process to find solutions, while research methodology guides the initial process to determine the most appropriate methods.

Key components of research design include determining the study population, sample size and method, data collection tools, and addressing ethical issues. The chapter also discusses how to establish causal relationships between variables and minimize the effects of extraneous variables through randomization, matching, and eliminating confounding variables from the study design.
Research is a systematic process of investigation to establish facts or principles. It involves defining a problem, formulating a hypothesis, collecting data, analyzing the results, and reaching conclusions. The objectives of research include gaining new insights and knowledge, testing hypotheses, and relating findings to managerial decisions. Research is necessary to address unsolved problems, face new challenges, and contribute to society. It relies on empirical evidence, objective consideration of concepts, and aims to formulate scientific theories. Good research clearly defines the problem and procedures, carefully plans the design, analyzes data adequately, and draws valid conclusions based on the evidence collected.

Research is a systematic, scientific process of investigation to discover and interpret facts. It involves searching for knowledge through objective study, observation, experimentation and comparison. The goal is to contribute new understanding through advancing existing knowledge or developing theories. Research requires carefully defining problems, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, reaching conclusions, and testing conclusions against hypotheses.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in research methodology. It discusses the meaning of research as a systematic process of discovering new facts. The document outlines different types of research including descriptive vs analytical, applied vs fundamental, quantitative vs qualitative, conceptual vs empirical. It also discusses research objectives such as exploratory, descriptive, diagnostic and hypothesis testing studies. The document emphasizes the importance of research for advancing knowledge and addressing practical problems. It distinguishes between research methods, which are techniques for collecting and analyzing data, and research methodology, which is the systematic process of solving a research problem.
Research is defined as a systematic, scientific search for information to increase knowledge. It involves defining problems, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, reaching conclusions, and testing conclusions. The main types of research are fundamental/basic research, which seeks knowledge without a defined goal, and applied research, which is problem-oriented and directed toward a specific end. The objectives of research are to discover new information, develop new tools and techniques, gain familiarity with phenomena, describe characteristics accurately, and identify causal relationships between variables. Problems that can arise in research include a lack of scientific training, delays in accessing data, human biases, insufficient time and funding, and uncontrolled variables.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

a movement from the

is actually a voyage of
discovery.
7. Meaning of Research
• According to Clifford
Woody research comprises
defining and redefining
problems, formulating
hypothesis or suggested
solutions; collecting,
organizing and evaluating
data; making deductions
and reaching conclusions;
and at last carefully testing
the conclusions to
determine whether they fit
the formulating hypothesis.
8. Meaning of Research
• D. Slesinger and M.
Stephenson in the
Encyclopedia of Social
Sciences define research as

knowledge aids in
construction of theory or
in the practice of an art.”
9. Meaning of Research

original contribution to
the existing stock of
knowledge making for its
advancement. It is the
pursuit of truth with the
help of study,
observation, comparison
and experiment.
10. Meaning of Research
• In short, the search for
knowledge through

refers to the systematic
method consisting of
enunciating the problem,
formulating a hypothesis,
collecting the facts or data,
analyzing the facts and
reaching certain conclusions
either in the form of
