Qualitative research involves interpretive, naturalistic approaches to study things in natural settings to understand meanings and interpretations. It uses various data collection techniques like interviews and observations. The analysis process involves categorizing data, identifying relationships and developing conclusions in an interactive way. Qualitative research has become more reflexive over time and acknowledges the researcher's role. It provides an in-depth understanding compared to quantitative research.

Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
2. Qualitative Research
• Qualitative research is an interdisciplinary,
transdisciplinary, and sometimes counterdisciplinary field.
It crosses the humanities and the social and physical
sciences. Qualitative research is many things at the same
time. It is multiparadigmatic in focus. Its practitioners
are sensitive to the value of the multimethod approach.
They are committed to the naturalistic perspective, and to
the interpretative understanding of human experience. At
the same time, the field is inherently political and shaped
by multiple ethical and political positions.
• Nelson et al’s (1992, p4)
3. Qualitative Research
• ‘Qualitative Research…involves finding out what
people think, and how they feel - or at any rate,
what they say they think and how they say they
feel. This kind of information is subjective. It
involves feelings and impressions, rather than
numbers’
• Bellenger, Bernhardt and Goldstucker, Qualitative Research in
Marketing, American Marketing Association
4. Qualitative Research
• Qualitative research is multimethod in focus,
involving an interpretative, naturalistic approach
to its subject matter.
• Qualitative Researchers study “things” (people
and their thoughts) in their natural settings,
attempting to make sense of, or interpret,
phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring
to them.
5. Qualitative Research
• Qualitative research involves the studied use and collection
of a variety of empirical materials - case study, personal
experience, introspective, life story, interview,
observational, historical, interactional, and visual texts-that
describe routine and problematic moments and meanings
in individuals lives.
• Deploy a wide range of interconnected methods, hoping
always to get a better fix on the subject matter at hand.
6. The Qualitative Researcher as
Bricoleur
• Bricoleur
• A ‘Jack of all trades or kind of professional DIY person’
• Produces a bricolage, that is a pieced together, close-knit
set of practices that provide solutions to a problem in a
concrete situation
• The solution which is a result of the bricoleurs method is
an emergent construction that changes and takes new
forms as different tools, methods and techniques are added
to the puzzle.
7. The Qualitative Researcher as
Bricoleur
• The Qualitative Researcher as Bricoleur uses the tools of
his methodological trade . The choice of research practices
depends upon the questions that are asked, and the
questions depend on their context, what is available in the
context, and what the researcher can do in that setting.
• The Bricoleur is adept at performing a large number of
diverse tasks ranging from interviewing to observing, to
interpreting personal and historical documents, to intensive
self-reflection and introspection.
8. The Qualitative Researcher as
Bricoleur
• The bricoleur understands that research is an interactive
process shaped by his own personal history, biography,
gender, social class, race, and ethnicity and those of the
people in the setting.
• The product of the bricoleur’s labour is a bricolage, a
complex, dense, reflexive, collage-like creation that
represents the researchers images, understanding and
interpretations of the world or phenomenon under analysis.
• The bricolage will connect the parts to the whole, stressing
the meaningful relationships that operate in the situations
and social worlds studied.
9. Positivist Paradigm
• Emphasises that human reason is supreme and that
there is a single objective truth that can be discovered
by science
• Encourages us to stress the function of objects,
celebrate technology and to regard the world as a
rational, ordered place with a clearly defined past,
present and future
10. Non-Positivist Paradigm
• Questions the assumptions of the positivist paradigm
• Argues that our society places too much emphasis on science
and technology
• Argues that this ordered, rational view of consumers denies
the complexity of the social and cultural world we live in
• Stresses the importance of symbolic, subjective experience
11. The Five moments of Qualitative
Research
Traditional Period: 1900’s-World War II
• Wrote objective colonising accounts of field
experiences that were reflective of the positivist
scientist paradigm
• Concerned with offering valid, reliable, and
objective interpretations in their writings.
• The ‘subject’ who was studied was alien, foreign,
and strange.
12. The Modernist Phase
Post war-1970’s
• The modernist ethnographer and
sociological participant observer attempted
rigorous, qualitative studies of important
social processes, including social control in
the classroom and society
• Researchers were drawn to qualitative
research because it allowed them to give a
voice to society’s ‘underclass’
13. Blurred Genres
1970-1986
• Researchers had a full complement of paradigms, methods and
strategies
• Applied qualitative research was gaining in stature
• Research strategies ranged from grounded theory to the case study
methodology
• Methods included qualitative interviewing and observational, visual,
personal and documentary methods.
• Computers were becoming more prevalent
• Boundaries between the social sciences and humanities had become
blurred
• Social science was borrowing models, theories and methods of
analysis from the humanities
• Researcher acknowledged as being part of the research process
14. Crisis of Representation
Mid 1980’s-Current Day
• Caused by the publication of a book called Anthropology
as Cultural Critique (Marcus and Fischer, 1986)
• Made research and writing more reflexive and called into
question the issues of gender, class and race.
• Interpretative theories as opposed to grounded theories
were more common as writers challenge old models of
truth and meaning
• Crisis of Representation and Legitimisation
15. The Fifth Moment
Current Day
• Defined and shaped by the dual crisis of representation and
legitimisation
• Theories now beginning to be read in narrative terms as
‘tales of the field’
• Concept of an aloof researcher has finally been fully
abandoned
• More action oriented research is on the horizon
• More Social criticism and social critique
• The search for grand narratives is being replaced by
more local, small-scale theories fitted to specific problems
and specific situations

17. Popularity of Qualitative
Research
1 Usually much cheaper than quantitative
research
2 No better way than qualitative research to
understand in-depth the motivations and
feelings of consumers
3 Qualitative research can improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of quantitative
research
18. Limitations of Qualitative
Research
1 Marketing successes and failures are based on small
differences in the marketing mix.
Qualitative research doesn’t distinguish these differences
as well as quantitative research can.
2 Not representative of the population that is of interest to
the researcher
3 The multitude of individuals who, without formal training,
profess to be experts in the field
19. Qualitative Research as a Process
• Theory
• Method
• Analysis
• All three interconnect to define the
qualitative research process
20. Theoretical Approach
Deductive
• Deductive Theoretical Approach
• Seek to use existing theory to shape the approach which you adopt to
the qualitative research process and to aspects of data analysis
• Analytical Procedures
• Pattern Matching
• Involves predicting a pattern of outcomes based on theoretical
propositions to explain what you expect to find
• Explanation Building
• Involves attempting to build an explanation while collecting and
analysing the data, rather than testing a predicted explanation as in
pattern matching
21. Inductive Approach
• Inductive Theoretical Approach
• Seek to build up a theory which is adequately grounded in a number of
relevant cases. Referred to as Interpretative and Grounded Theory
• Art of Interpretation
• Field Text: Consists of field notes and documents from the field
• Research Text: Notes and interpretations based on the filed text
• Working interpretative document: Writers initial attempt to make
sense out of what he has learned
• Public Text: The final tale of the Field
23. Analysis Qualitative Data:
An Approach
• Categorisation
• Unitising data
• Recognising relationships and developing
the categories you are using to facilitate this
• Developing and testing hypotheses to reach
conclusion
24. Interactive Nature of the
Qualitative Process
• Data collection, data analysis and the development
and verification of relationships and conclusion
are all interrelated and interactive set of processes
• Allows researcher to recognise important themes,
patterns and relationships as you collect data
• Allows you to re-categorise existing data to see
whether themes and patterns and relationships
exist in the data already collected
• Allows you to adjust your future data collection
approach to see whether they exist in other cases
25. Tools for helping the Analytical
Process
• Summaries
• Should contain the key points that emerge from
undertaking the specific activity
• Self Memos
• Allow you to make a record of the ideas which
occur to you about any aspect of your research,as
you think of them
• Researcher Diary
