1) Gareth Adams argues that clinical trials are increasingly complex with vast amounts of data, making errors more common. Current methods treat errors as isolated symptoms rather than identifying their underlying causes.
2) Four main categories of data errors are described: errors of ignorance, incompetence, institutional flaws, and intentional fraud.
3) PRA has developed a Central Analytics Methodology using a Data Quality Manager to centralize data analysis, identify error patterns and risks early, and efficiently address issues across operational teams. This approach aims to understand both where and why errors occur to improve data quality.

Psycho shower scene analysis
- 2. Camera Angles Throughout the scene, close ups are used to highlight significant scenes such as screams of agony and moments of sheer horror (bloody water and hands). The camera also fixates on Marion’s eyes throughout the film but in this particular scene, it is done to evoke feelings of vulnerability. This is a stark contrast from when Marion’s eyes are dolled up and wide in the car. Moreover, high angles are also used to present the theme of defeat in this scene as Marion lays lifeless and weak.
- 3. Music/Sound/Silence In terms of music, screeching violins are used to establish Marion’s murder and this is effective because the high pitched noises mimic the slashes from the knife. In addition to this, a lot of diegetic noise is used to highlight the reality of the situation the extent of the brutality and pain inflicted onto Marion. Also, a very effective sound motif is used to illustrate a cacophony and disharmony when Marion is being murdered.
- 4. Editing In terms of editing, pans and zooms are used showcase aspects of the murder and enable the viewer to register the death of the main character. Moreover there are sharp cuts involved which reflect well with the sharp knife cuts taking place in the scene.
- 5. Mise-en-scene Although the shower scene does not contain much in terms of props, the few that are present are very effective. For example, the shower curtain used is transparent which reflects her vulnerability and exposure. Also, shadows and mirrors are present which reflect and idea of double vision and the concept of having a split personality which directly links to the title of “Psycho”.
