Factors influencing treatment delay in acute myocardial infarction patients
This article critique is intended to examine if the given research paper, "Factors influencing treatment delay for patients with acute myocardial infarction" by Lisa Lesneski serves its purpose and helps in determining the factors which are responsible for causing delay in treating AMI given its fatal nature. The thorough analysis enabled us to determine that where the statistical tools used for computation were suitable for such type of study, there were serious limitations which affected the suitability of the sample selected. Due to these limitations, the outcomes of the research could not be levied on the whole population i.e. patients of AMI. Furthermore, implied hypotheses, wrong sample selection, inefficient sample settings, and confusing criteria of selection of the subjects, made the research unable to provide empirical evidence.
Sampling designs and techniques: types, applications, and limitations
The work Identifies and discuss 2 types sampling designs and their benefits and limitations. The sampling methods are non-probability sampling and probability sampling. Purposive or Judgmental Sample the researcher selects the sample based on the familiarity of the population and the objectives of the study.In a systematic sample, the researcher lists down the elements of the population, and then selects every nth element to include in the sample.
Chess and Cognitive Ability Revision Does Chess
Psychologists and cognitive researchers have long suspected a link between the ability to play chess proficiently and superior intelligence levels. By conducting a thorough review of the prevailing research concerning chess and the enhancement of cognitive abilities, as well as studies which fail to establish conclusive links between the two, it is possible to form a more fully informed conclusion. Research studies focused on deductive reasoning, mathematics, and logical analysis and their use in the game of chess will be compared and examined for error or bias, in an effort to synthesize the findings of several researchers over a period of decades into a coherent conclusion.
