This document discusses research problem and design. It defines a research problem as the heart of a research project and must be researchable and lead to discovery. A research problem can be divided into sub-problems for clarity. Descriptive and experimental designs are described. Descriptive design involves observation and description while experimental design tests relationships through manipulation of variables. Both have advantages and disadvantages for research. The document also discusses topics like surveys, case studies, and qualitative vs. quantitative research.
The document defines research and describes its key characteristics as being controlled, rigorous, systematic, valid and verifiable, and empirical. It outlines two main paradigms in research - positivism and naturalism. Positivism combines deductive logic and empirical methods to seek generalizable patterns, while naturalism assumes a social world can be accessed through senses. The document also describes the basic steps in conducting research as formulating a problem, designing a study, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings. Finally, it distinguishes between qualitative and quantitative research, with qualitative aiming to understand through description and quantitative aiming to explain through statistical analysis.
This document discusses key concepts related to research, medicine, health, and the research process. It defines research as the systematic investigation and study of materials to establish facts and reach new conclusions. Knowledge is what is believed to be true about something, while facts are just data. Medicine is defined as the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. The research process involves identifying a problem, reviewing literature, developing a study design, collecting and analyzing data, and disseminating findings. Ethical considerations and developing a capable research team are also discussed.

GEMMA Wean is a high end larval co-feeding and weaning diet aimed at Artemia optimisation and is fortified with a high level of proteins and phospholipids. GEMMA Wean provides the early weaned juveniles with dedicated fish nutrition and is an ideal follow on from GEMMA Micro or Artemia.
GEMMA Wean has an optimised nutritional balance and physical quality so that it flows more freely and spreads readily on the water surface. The balance of phospholipid classes to- gether with the production technology based on a low temperature extrusion process improve the physical aspect of the pellets while still retaining the high phospholipid content.
GEMMA Wean is available in 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm. There is also a 0.5mm micro-pellet, GEMMA Wean Diamond, which covers the early nursery stage from post-weaning to pre-growing.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Sub-unit title:
1.1Introduction to Research
2. Research- fun and exciting?
• “The essence of all
research originates in
curiosity - a desire to find
out how and why things
happen”
• How can…?
• Why is…?
• What is the best way
to…?
• What causes…?
• What are the effects of…?
I wonder... 2
5. Scientific Method
•Objectivity – distance research from
personal beliefs, values, attitudes
Why???
•Empirical Data – documenting
objective data through direct
observation = reality
5
6. Research Questions
• Cannot be answered by Yes or No.
• Should ask:
• What happens when…..?
• What is going on here?
• How does this happen?
• Why does on thing work better than
another?
6
7. 7
The Research Idea:
Where does it come from?
•Professional experience
•Burning questions
•Yours
•Others
•Literature
•Professional meetings
•Discussions

A Research Question Must Identify
1. The variables under study
2. The population being studied
3. The testability of the question

• True Experimental – Randomized Controlled Trial
(RCT)
• Meta-Analyses and Systematic Reviews
Research Design: the basics
12
13. The Research Language - Some
Terminology
• Variable
• Data
• Rigor
• Control
• Sampling
• Setting
juliobahar, OCAL
13
14. Concept of a Variable
• Measurable characteristic that varies among
subjects
• Research is conducted because this variance
occurs!
• Types:
• Independent – presumed cause
• Example: Salt intake
• Dependent – presumed effect
• Example: Blood pressure reading
14
15. Variables
Have 2 or more properties or qualities
Age, sex, weight, height
Is one variable related to another?
“ Is X related to Y? What is the effect of X on Y?” etc.
15
16. Data
• Pieces of information obtained in a study
• Are the actual “values” of the study variables
• Quantitative - numeric values
• Qualitative - narrative descriptions
16
17. Concept of RIGOR
• Striving for excellence in research.
Involves:
• Discipline
• Adherence to detail
• Strict accuracy!
• Uses precise measurement tools
sarxos, OCAL
17
18. Concept of CONTROL
• Using “rules” to decrease error and increase probability
that study findings are an accurate reflection of reality
• Ensure results that reflect true relationship among
variables
• Reduction of the influence of unwanted “extraneous”
variables
• Example: A control group of test subjects left untreated or
unexposed to some procedure in order to provide a
standard of comparison to the experimental group.
18
19. Concept of SAMPLING
• Who/what do you want to study?
• Choosing subjects who are “representative”
of the study population
• Random & Non-Random Sampling- when
to use?
josephluis, OCAL
19
20. Concept of SETTING
• Location of the study - can affect results
• Natural Setting: Uncontrolled, real life situation
• Partially Controlled: Manipulated or modified in
some way
• Highly Controlled: Artificial environment for sole
purpose of doing research. Decreases effects of
outside influences.
20
21. Some Myths About Research
• The purpose of research is to “prove” or “confirm”
a theory.
• Research findings are presented as complete and
conclusive answers.
• There is a hierarchy of research methodology that
places true “experimental” research at the top.
21
22. Intro to the Research Process
• Involves decision making
• What methods will help to answer a research
question/test a hypothesis?
• Is flexible - multiple possibilities, each with its
own strengths/weaknesses
• Is a circular process
JoBrad, OCAL
22
23. Major Phases in the Research
Process
• 1. Selecting and defining the problem in need of
investigation
• 2. Selecting a research design
• 3. Collecting data
• 4. Analyzing data
• 5. Utilizing the Findings
23
24. Background
• Selecting and defining the problem (area of research)
• Identify a question or area where knowledge can be
advanced
• Review related literature for rationale to do study
