We were curious if conferencing usage would identify any trends or even reinforce notions about regional and cultural nuances in the global economy. So InterCall reviewed and analyzed more than 20 billion conferencing minutes across 197 countries in 2013 to see what the data could tell us about international work habits.

When shaping a persuasive speech, the speaker should determine the target audience and whether they agree or disagree with the topic to reinforce or reform their position. There are different types of persuasive speeches like dispositional speeches to influence a listener's disposition and actuational speeches to influence behavior. Organizational patterns for structuring persuasive speeches include the refutative pattern to disprove opposing positions, comparative advantages to show one alternative is better than others, and Monroe's Motivated Sequence to catch attention, show a problem is serious, provide solutions, visualize the future, and issue a call to action.
DDS Efficiency and Extensibility
This presentations provides a measure of DDS time and space efficiency when compared to XML/JSON based technologies (such as WebServices). The presentation also explains how DDS's type systems supports the design of extensible and evolvable distributed applications.
Hibernating DDS
This document discusses using the Data Local Reconstruction Layer (DLRL) to address the object/relational impedance mismatch when using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) from object-oriented programming languages. DLRL provides an object/relational mapping for DDS that allows applications to work with object models instead of directly with DDS topics. It provides features like mapping between objects and topics, support for associations and inheritance, and can either automatically or manually map object models to existing DDS data models. Using DLRL allows applications to ignore the distributed nature of DDS data and focus on object-oriented design patterns.

Research Paper
Decide on any important
Criminal Justice topic
or
issue
(In this case I chose Domestic Violence) (PTSD)
Research and
read several recent peer-reviewed articles
on the topic and think of potential research questions Introduction:
Introduce the topic and issue
· History; context
· Why is this criminal justice issue important?
· Are there unanswered questions and/or more research needed? Is there call for policy reform (a problem)?
· Identify the purpose of your research: significance and/or relevance
Literature Review:
What is the current peer-reviewed literature? Tell a “story”, not a list of findings
· What have other people done about this or similar questions
· Tell a story: discuss the themes/agreements, discontinuities, breaks, disagreements, controversy etc. Emerging in recent literature about the topic
. Only use quality sources
and link them together
: Google Scholar, journals from JJAY Library (a minimum of 5-10 peer-reviewed sources)
· Key words and concepts relevant to the topic/question
· Relevant theory
The literature review is a major contributor to the development of your project. It helps shape your question by enabling you to find out what has already been done. Weave together their contributions into a narrative (a story).
Use the Literature Prep assignment (assignment 5) as a tool to help organize your thoughts and identify themes, contrasting thoughts, etc
. (I will attach assignment #5 as a guideline)
Decide and Define the Research Question:
What question needs to be answered that has not yet been answered by someone else.
· Make sure it is not too broad, not too difficult or unanswerable and in the context of the literature search and review. Is it feasible?
· State the research question precisely – your research will attempt to answer the question you pose
· 4 Kinds of questions that can form:
1
. What is the situation?
2
. What is going on here?
3
. What is related to what?
4
. What happens when…?
Methodology and Research Design:
Your “plan” for the research…How you are going to answer your research question. Decide on the best and most appropriate way to accomplish this. You will be discussing which methods you will use and why. This should relate back to the purpose of the research and your question.
Sampling Strategy: obtaining a portion of the larger population (total number of all possible individuals relating to a specific topic which could be included in the study) who will participate in the research.
· Identify the population for the study: who (or what) to be studied. The group (or institution) that needs to be researched to answer the question
· Decide on sampling methodology: how are you going to get a sample of that population
· Identify the exact procedure to obtain the sample (individuals participating in the study)
· Includes: criteria an individual needs to have to be able to participate in this research, identifying potential participants, ga.

Assessing sources
This document provides guidelines for evaluating the reliability and credibility of sources for research. It discusses characteristics of reliable sources such as educational (.edu), government (.gov), and nonprofit (.org) websites. Blogs are generally not considered reliable fact-based sources. Online magazines, journals, and news sources can be credible if they cite evidence and are fact-based rather than opinion-oriented. Reliable sources provide accurate information, cite authoritative sources, and are objective and up-to-date. Students are then instructed to use these guidelines to research a topic, take notes from multiple perspectives, form an opinion supported by facts, and create a project to promote their view and draw attention to the issue.

Informative speaking involves sharing knowledge with others to create shared understanding. The goal is to help listeners understand, retain, and apply the information by answering who, what, when, where, why, how, and how does questions. There are three main types of informative speeches: descriptions which create a clear picture, explanations which clarify issues and ideas, and demonstrations which clarify processes. Effective informative speaking requires choosing a topic the audience doesn't already know and relating it to their needs while using straightforward language.

Group communication involves interacting and influencing each other to accomplish common goals. Effective groups have clearly defined, consistent, and acceptable goals. The optimal size is smallest to do the job, and members bring diverse but relevant skills. Cohesiveness and productive norms like ground rules help the group achieve synergy and outcomes greater than individuals. Forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning describe the stages of group development. Analyzing problems, determining criteria, identifying solutions, and evaluating alternatives against criteria leads to a decision using methods like consensus or majority rule.
