The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. Contd….
• Remember, research is only valuable and useful
when it is valid, accurate and reliable. Relying
on imperfect research is dangerous; incorrect
results can lead to customer churn and a
decrease in sales.
2. Analyze and Understand Your
Research
• The analysis of the data can vary from simple
and direct steps to technical and complex
processes.
• Adopt an approach, and choose the method
of data analysis based on the research
methods you have carried out.
3. Keep the Findings Ready
• Choose a spreadsheet that allows you to easily
enter your data.
• If you do not have a large amount of data, you
should be able to manage them with the use of
basic tools available in the software.
• If you have collected more complete and
complex data, you may have to consider using
specific programs or tools that will help you
manage your data.
4. Review and Interpret the Information
to Draw Conclusions
• Once you have gathered all the data, you can
scan your information and interpret it to draw
conclusions and make informed decisions. You
should review the data and then:
• Identify the main trends and issues,
opportunities and problems you observe, and
write a sentence about each one
• Keep track of the frequency with which each of
the main findings appears.
5. Contd…
• Make a list of your findings from the most
common to the least common
• Evaluate and perform separately a list of the
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats that have been identified in a SWOT
analysis.
• Preparation of conclusions and
recommendations about your research.

9. Difference between Qualitative and
Quantitative Research
• Research is the most widely used tool to
increase and brush-up the stock of knowledge
about something and someone.
• In the field of marketing, business, sociology,
psychology, science & technology, economics,
etc. there are two standard ways of conducting
research, i.e. qualitative research or quantitative
research.
10. Contd…
• While the qualitative research relies on verbal
narrative like spoken or written data,
the quantitative research uses logical or
statistical observations to draw conclusions.
11. Comparison Chart
BASIS FOR COMPARISON QUALITATIVE RESEARCH QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Meaning Qualitative research is a method of inquiry
that develops understanding on human
and social sciences, to find the way people
think and feel.
Quantitative research is a research method
that is used to generate numerical data
and hard facts, by employing statistical,
logical and mathematical technique.
Nature Holistic Particularistic
Approach Subjective Objective
Research type Exploratory Conclusive
Reasoning Inductive Deductive
Sampling Purposive Random
Data Verbal Measurable
Inquiry Process-oriented Result-oriented
Hypothesis Generated Tested
Elements of analysis Words, pictures and objects Numerical data
Objective To explore and discover ideas used in the
ongoing processes.
To examine cause and effect relationship
between variables.
Methods Non-structured techniques like In-depth
interviews, group discussions etc.
Structured techniques such as surveys,
questionnaires and observations.
Result Develops initial understanding Recommends final course of action
12. Key Differences between Qualitative And
Quantitative Research
• The differences between qualitative and
quantitative research are provided can be drawn
clearly on the next grounds:
13. Contd…
• Qualitative research is a method of inquiry that
develops understanding on human and social
sciences, to find the way people think and feel.
• A scientific and empirical research method that
is used to generate numerical data, by
employing statistical, logical and mathematical
technique is called quantitative research.
• Qualitative research is holistic in nature while
quantitative research is particularistic.
14. Contd
• The qualitative research follows a subjective
approach as the researcher is intimately
involved, whereas the approach of quantitative
research is objective, as the researcher is
uninvolved and attempts to precise the
observations and analysis on the topic to answer
the inquiry.
• Qualitative research is exploratory. As opposed
to quantitative research which is conclusive.
15. Contd…
• The reasoning used to synthesise data in
qualitative research is inductive whereas in the
case of quantitative research the reasoning is
deductive.
16. Contd…
• Qualitative research is based on purposive
sampling, where a small sample size is selected
with a view to get a thorough understanding of
the target concept.
• On the other hand, quantitative research relies
on random sampling; wherein a large
representative sample is chosen in order to
extrapolate the results to the whole population.
17. Contd…
• Verbal data are collected in qualitative research.
Conversely, in quantitative research measurable
data is gathered.
• Inquiry in qualitative research is a process-
oriented, which is not in the case of quantitative
research.
18. Contd…
• Elements used in the analysis of qualitative
research are words, pictures, and objects while
that of quantitative research is numerical data.
• Qualitative Research is conducted with the aim
of exploring and discovering ideas used in the
ongoing processes.
• As opposed to quantitative research the purpose
is to examine cause and effect relationship
between variables.
19. Contd…
• Lastly, the methods used in qualitative research
are in-depth interviews, focus groups, etc. In
contrast, the methods of conducting quantitative
research are structured interviews and
observations.
• Qualitative Research develops the initial
understanding whereas quantitative research
recommends a final course of action.
21. Area/s to be discussed.
• Identifying the Research Problem.
22. Identifying the Research Problem
• The research problem is the heart of a study.
• It is a clear, definite statement of the area of
concern or investigation and is backed by
evidence (Bryman, 2007).
23. Contd…
• It drives the research questions and processes
and provides the framework for understanding
the research findings.
• To begin, you will need to know where to look for
your research problem and how to evaluate
when a research problem for success.
24. Where to Find a Research Problem?
• Ideas for research problems tend to come from
two sources: real life and the scholarly arena.
• First, identifying a research problem can be as
simple as observing the complications and
issues in your local workplace.
25. Contd…
• You may encounter ongoing issues on a daily
basis in your workplace or observe your
colleagues struggle with major issues or
questions in your field.
• These ongoing obstacles and issues in the
workplace can be the catalyst for developing a
research problem.
26. Contd…
• Alternatively, research problems can be
identified by reviewing recent literature, reports,
or databases in your field.
• Often the section of “recommendations for the
future studies” provided at the end of journal
articles or doctoral dissertations suggest
potential research problems.
27. Contd…
• In addition, major reports and databases in the
field may reveal findings or data-based facts that
call for additional investigation or suggest
potential issues to be addressed.
• Looking at what theories need to be tested is
another opportunity to develop a research
problem.
28. How to Evaluate a Research Problem?
• Once you find your potential research problem,
you will need to evaluate the problem and
ensure that it is appropriate for research.
• A research problem is deemed appropriate
when it is supported by the literature, and
considered significant, timely, novel, specific,
and researchable.
• Stronger research problems are more likely to
succeed in publication, presentation, and
application.
29. Supported by the Literature
• Your research problem should be relevant to the
field and supported by a number of recent peer-
reviewed studies in the field.
• Even if you identify the problem based on the
recommendation of one journal article or
dissertation, you will still need to conduct a
literature search and ensure that other
researchers support the problem and need for
conducting research to further address the
problem.
30. Significant
• Your research problem should have a positive
impact on the field.
• The impact can be practical, in the form of direct
application of the results in the field, or
conceptual, where the work advances the field
by filling a knowledge gap.
31. Novel
• Your research problem should be original and
unique.
• It should seek to address a gap in our
knowledge or application.
• An exhaustive review of literature can help you
identify whether the problem has already been
addressed with your particular sample and/or
context.
32. Contd…
• Talking to experts in the research area can
illuminate a problem.
• Replication of an existing study warrants
discussion of value elsewhere, but novelty can
be found in determining if an already-resolved
problem holds in a new sample and/or context.
33. Specific and Clear
• Your research problem should be specific
enough to set the direction of the study, raise
research question(s), and determine an
appropriate research method and design.
• Vague research problems may not be useful to
specify the direction of the study or develop
research questions.
34. Researchable
• Research problems are solved through the
scientific method.
• This means research-ability, or feasibility of the
problem, is more important than all of the above
characteristics.
• You as the researcher should be able to solve
the problem with your abilities and available
research methods, designs, research sites,
resources, and timeframe.
35. Contd…
• If a research problem retains all of
aforementioned characteristics but it is not
researchable, it may not be an appropriate
research problem.
38. Literature Review as Sources of
Information and its Procedure
• Any research, no matter at what scale, requires
reading about what other people have done in
the area of your interest, how they have done it,
and what are the gaps in the research in that
area.
• Any new production of knowledge is necessarily
based on previous and existing knowledge.
39. Contd…
• You need information to support or refute your
arguments and write about your findings.
• You need to provide evidence that you are
aware of the current trends and issues in your
area of interest and are cognizant of the current
state of knowledge on the subject.
• Ideally this reading should form the basis for
choosing your research methodology.
40. Contd…
• Moreover, every new article/book you read will
have a cumulative effect on the existing body of
knowledge in your mind, pushing you to
reinterpret or rethink some of your previous
assumptions or ideas.
• But there is a limit to the changes you can make
in your literature review.
