------------------------------------
This tutorial will help you build the foundation you need to conduct research in the Ashford
University Library.
For starters, the Ashford University Library is a digital Library.
This means that resources you would find in a physical library such as books, magazines,
journals, and multimedia have been converted into digital formats and stored in databases,
allowing you to access them by going to our webpage on a computer.
-------------------------------------
As you progress through your courses at Ashford, many of your assignments will require that
you use scholarly resources.
Scholarly resources include scholarly journals, certain books, and other publications.
Scholarly journals are a collections of articles written by scholars or academics in a field of
study, or by someone who has done research in a field.
These articles report original research or experimentation to the rest of the scholarly community.
Before publication, these articles and books go through a rigorous peer-review process, where
other experts in the field review the material for authenticity and reliability.
-------------------------------------
Resources that are not scholarly are often referred to as popular resources.
Popular resources include things like magazines, newspapers, some websites, and professional
blogs.
They are usually written by journalists or other professional writers and cover topics of general
interest intended to inform and entertain the public. They are reviewed by an editorial staff,
usually for style and format.
Often times, the information in popular sources is reliable, and can be valuable to your research.
-------------------------------------
In the Ashford University Library, you will find these resources in databases.
You may ask yourself, why do I need to search in databases when I can search on the internet?
Search engines can be great for finding general information, but when you are conducting
academic research, there are several reasons why searching in databases is a good choice.
When you search for something on the internet, the results you see are usually based on
popularity, rather than the quality of the information.
Because search engines often ‘guess’ or approximate what you are looking for, the most relevant
information can be ...

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.
