Unforeseen technology-related events could have impacted the study.
Maturation - No, this would not have been a potential threat as the class is short in relative time period. This was controlled through semester scheduling.
Testing - Yes, this could have had a major impact on the research, and needed to be addressed through the definition of methodologies and statistical test definitions.
Instrumentation - Yes, this could have had an impact on the research, yet was minimized by the standardization of tests, the inclusion of online students in classrooms for proctored exams, and the use of a standard evaluation form.
Mortality - Yes, this was a major risk and is illustrated in the 2 students who dropped in-class participation. This was controlled through the selection of the respondent base.

1) What is the purpose of this research
Initially, subclinical shifts are anticipated; therefore, quantitative measures will prove immensely helpful when it comes to pattern comprehension. This will function as an easy-to-access market as well as help initiate timely rehabilitation.
2) What is the research question (or questions)? This may be implicit or explicit.
Determination of parameters’ subclinical connection may help differentially analyse discrete parameters concerning the conditions, in addition to facilitating the planning of fall prevention strategies.
3) Give a complete description of the research design of this study.

recruiting study participants as well as collecting and analyzing data are important markers of research credibility and integrity. In quantitative research, the major components of methodology include research design, population and sampling, ethics, data collection, and procedures. The appropriate research design, sample size, and data collection instrument must be selected (Coughlan, Cronin & yan, 2007). Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) study took the form of cross-sectional design. Though this design tends to be less costly compared to other quantitative designs, there could be difficulties in determining cause and effect relationships. As the population of the study was haemodialysis nurses, the sample was recruited from the enal Society of Australasia (SA), which has about 1,300 members (95% of which are nurses). Overall, 417 nurses were included in the sample. This is an appropriate representation of the target population.
Ethical concerns must also be addressed when conducting quantitative research. This entails obtaining…...

Locating and Critically Analysing Primary esearch Articles
In their study, Housholder-Hughes et al. (2015) investigate the usefulness of a nurse-led disease management program for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following discharge from hospital. The study shows that ACS patients who attended the program after discharge depicted greater adherence to evidence-based self-management behaviour, improved mental and physical health, as well as increased satisfaction with care. The 12-week program -- broken down into three one hour visits every month -- involved assessing patients for clinical symptoms and risk factors, educating them about coronary artery disease (CAD), and referring them to appropriate nutrition and exercise. The study underscores the role of nurses in promoting physical and mental health in ACS patients after they are released from hospital. Nurses help ACS patients adopt the right behaviours post-discharge in terms of physical activity, dietary habits, compliance with medication, and lifestyle modification in general. This can…...

Work Environment, Job Satisfaction, Stress and Burnout Among Haemodialysis Nurses
This article was authored by Hayes, Douglas, and Bonner and published in the Journal of Nursing Management in 2015. The article was selected as an example of the cross-sectional survey design.
Nursing work involves activities, tasks, and processes that may be a source of significant stress for nurses. This is particularly true for haemodialysis nurses. In the execution of their day-to-day duties, haemodialysis nurses interact with difficult patients. They also grapple with inadequate staffing, excessive workload, extended work schedules, short work breaks, as well as intricate interpersonal relationships with the other members of the multidisciplinary team. These factors may cause job stress, eventually resulting in burnout and job dissatisfaction. In some instances, the burnout may lead to turnover and even change of profession.
Statement of Purpose
The purposed of the study was to examine the perceptions of haemodialysis nurses in Australia and New Zealand…...
mlaKey Findings
The study found that a number of factors in the workplace were responsible for stress and burnout amongst the participants. These include violent patient behavior, inability to understand the actions and needs of patients, high volume of work, overwhelming number of patients, shortage of nurses, and lack of managerial support. The study also found that individual factors were responsible for burnout, notably family problems and financial difficulties. Overall, the study concludes that there is need for personalized interventions for addressing burnout amongst psychiatric nurses. More fundamentally, the interventions should focus on all aspects of life, including work, social, and behavior. It is also important for the management to be involved in preventing burnout.

unequivocal (Coughlan, Cronin & yan, 2007). Also, it should ideally be 10-15 words long. The title of the quantitative article is "Work environment, job satisfaction, stress and burnout among haemodialysis nurses" (Hayes, Douglas & Bonner, 2015). The title clearly adheres to the recommended length of an article title. In addition, the title unambiguously identifies of the purpose of the study, which is to examine relationships between nurse characteristics, work environment attributes, job satisfaction, job stress, and burnout in nurses working in haemodialysis units.
The abstract should provide a succinct summary of the study, inclusive of the research problem, purpose of the research, methodology, sample size, findings, as well as conclusion and recommendations (Coughlan, Cronin & yan, 2007). The reader should judge from the abstract whether an article is worth further reading. Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) article provides a precise and straightforward overview of the study, clearly summing up the…...

Effects of Career Orientation On Intrapersonal Issues of e-Entry Women and Their Career Penalty
Title of Journal Publication: Global Management eview
Identify at least three key issues, concepts (ideas), propositions or theories that have been discussed in the literature review. How have these issues informed or influenced the current paper and its research questions? (Paraphrase -- i.e., use your own words)
Intrapersonal e-entry issues: More often than not, intrapersonal re-entry issues are deemed as insufficiencies and paucities that are present within re-entering women. This issue has influenced the prevailing paper and its research questions as the research study attempts to examine the link between career penalty and intrapersonal problems of re-entry. In particular, aspects such as stress, loss of self-esteem, guilt as well as conflict are perceived as vital interpersonal issues experienced by re-entering women (Kok and Van der Westhuizen, 2003).

committed to an 'alternative' fuel policy that is widely criticized for its
inefficiency. The EPA article shows that the United States government and
its oil, auto and agro industry partners have collectively pushed forward
with an alternative fuel policy dominated by corn-based ethanol and biofuel
strategies. Specifically, according to the Environmental Protection
Agency, "the Renewable Fuel Standard program will increase the volume of
renewable fuel required to be blended into gasoline to 7.5 billion gallons
by 2012. The RFS program was developed in collaboration with refiners,
renewable fuel producers, and many other stakeholders." (EPA 2008, p. 1)

Service Quality esearch
The research discussed in this paper is based on the application of the SEVQUAL model to the restaurant sector of the hospitality service industry. The SEVQUAL model was developed in 1985 and has been refined since for use in the service industry. In contrast to goods, service quality has been difficult to measure because of the intangibility, variability and heterogeneity of the service. Moreover, the service quality depends on the interaction between service provider and consumer. The SEVQUAL model was developed to overcome these limitations. The research articles discussed in the following sections were all conducted to apply the model in the restaurant sector to evaluate the service quality of various kinds of restaurants.
In addition to the SEVQUAL model, another useful model is the DINESEV model which has also been used by a couple of the researches discussed in this paper. The researches discussed in this paper have…...

Evidence-based practice has become popular in several disciplines of healthcare and continues to do so. One of the major characteristic of EP is its reliance on scientific evidence, individual choices and needs of the patient and clinical expertise. It is one of the healthcare approaches, in which the professionals make use of the hard evidence available in order to make healthcare decisions for a patient. It builds, enhances and values clinical knowledge, and expertise of pathophysiology and the mechanisms of disease. Furthermore, it also includes conscientious and complex decision-making, that is based not just on the evidence available but also on the situation, preferences and characteristics of the patient. EP recognizes the individuality in healthcare and accepts that it is constantly changing and involves several probabilities and uncertainties. It is ultimately the formation of a process that has been practiced for years by the best clinicians (McKibbon, 1998 ).

Gum Chewing Following Cesarean
In their research article entitled "Gum-Chewing Speeds Return of First Bowel Sounds but Not First Defecation after Cesarean Section," Harma et al. (2009) explore a two-fold research question. First, they looked into the duration of postoperative ileus if gum was chewed following a cesarean section. Secondly they looked at whether there was a difference in the results when comparing patients who chewed sugar-free gum with the results of those who chewed gum with sugar substitute in it. In the experiment, 76 women were divided into three categories, the control group, the sugar-free gum group, and the group who were given sugar-substituted gum. The patients who got to chew gum did so every fifteen minutes starting two hours after their surgery. hat the researchers found was that there was no marked difference between the three groups in comparing the time it took to their first episode of flatus…...

A slightly broader study was deployed for the quantitative study entitled "Multiple gestations: side effects of antepartum bed rest." This study found that high-risk pregnancies and bed rest significantly increased the stressors upon the women. It measured this by using the Antepartum Stressors Hospital Inventory, and depressive symptoms were measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The weekly rate of maternal weight gain during hospitalization was also significantly less than recent recommendations for multiple gestation weight gain and women on bed rest reported a high number of depressive symptoms than those patients not on bed rest. CES-D scores for depressive symptoms were high as were postpartum symptoms for women in the study.
This study also recommended that it is critical for hospitals to attempt to alleviate antepartum stress, but it focused on the physical risks posed by maternal weight loss, as well as psychological stress, stress, depression, family…...
