This then gives the work reasonable transferability.

The second article addressed the challenge faced by the wives of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In this study, the researchers examined the perceptions of nine wives whose husbands were experiencing PTSD. The data were collected using a semi-structured in-depth focus group. The sample design for the research is purposeful and consequently the researcher was unable to derive statistical generalizability from their data. However, the data collected would have great depth and authenticity since it would represent the phenomenon more completely than another approach.
The focus group lasted two hours and provided an opportunity for the wives to engage in rich discussion about their experiences (Strauss & Corbin 1990). The group discussion was conducted in Hebrew; it was videotaped and later transcribed. The use of the focus group would be beneficial for this problem because the quantum of available data on the subject is very limited. Thus in using the focus group the researcher is able to create "concentrated amounts of data" and save on both time and money when compared to personal interviews (Dekel, Goldblatt, Keidar, Solomon, & Polliack, 2005). The focus group however suffers from the chronic problem of a single individual dominating the discussion, which may skew the data collected or drive the group off topic.
The videotaping of the sessions is an important component of improving the dependability and credibility of the data collected. The videotaping of the sessions allowed the researchers to capture essentially all that the unaided human eye would miss since the researcher is both instrument of collection...

"Esri Launches Story Map Journal App Contest For Students" The use of geographic information systems (GIS) when it comes to plotting or tracking anything that involves disparate locations is nothing new. However, the depth and breadth that newer GIS projects are taking in comparison to older ones just shows how far the field has come and how far it could truly go. In keeping with the renewed and revised commitment to
For instance, if there is a candidate who after interviewing appeared to be a good fit for a position, but the testing came back with poor results, there is the tendency to pass up the candidate. However, by making personnel managers aware of this tendency, they can really consider whether the candidate is still a good hire, even if the testing was not as desired. Protecting the legal and appropriate

Retrieved from https://student.societyforscience.org/article/what%E2%80%99s-your-genes. This article shows that scientific advances have allowed researchers to significantly modify the physical appearance of offspring through intervention and modification of the genes of the parents. Instead of what is "in" your genes, Pochran (2011) studies modifications which are "on" the genes. She makes this distinction by

Retrieved from: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/28/nyregion/nyc-police- sergeant-admits-illegal-searches-and-perjury.html This article highlights the problem of officers conducting illegal searches when they strongly suspect a suspect is guilty, even though they have no legally valid form of probable cause or a warrant to conduct such a search. These types of egregious actions are a source of
Apparently, some people become so overwhelmed by this problem that they spontaneously martyr their in-boxes, simply deleting everything instead of organizing it or sorting through it. Even leading software manufacturers have begun working on the problem. Potential solutions such as software capable of interpreting keystroke patterns (and other measurable patterns of user activity) has been developed to manage email notifications automatically. In principle, the computer system would consider whether or
