The last line of logic that stuck out to me is experimental originality. This line of logic provides material that contributes information and research to the field. It also makes sure the research has not been excessively repeated in other studies. Dr. Inge has brought new data to this field of study. He has answered questions that have not been addressed before making his primary study original. By analyzing outcomes of each patient’s surgery after three years, these authors brought a rare…

The nursing research article that I chose to critic for this assignment is entitled "The nurse work environment, job satisfaction and turnover rates in rural and urban nursing units" written by Marianne Baernholdt and Barbara A. Mark. The goal of this publication is to determine if there is a relationship between the nurse work environment and the level of satisfaction and the rate of nurses ' turnover. Urban hospitals have been the subject of research to examine this association but not rural…

advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to determine which is better, as each study’s effectiveness depends on its nature. Case studies, experiments, and correlational studies all have something in common, though: they can all be affected by research bias. This is a disadvantage in any study, and can sometimes drastically affect the results. A case study can be defined as “an intensive description and analysis of a specific group.” (Christensen, 2013). In a case study, one person is…

and still is our main source of scientific research for humans. We have followed this tradition of experimenting on animals for decades, and it has been very useful to us, but at the same time it is cruel and is not 100% accurate. Animal experimentation is way to flawed and risky to put all our trust into it, and with all the dangers and risks that come with experimenting on animals we need to put a stop to it, and find some other way to get the research that we need. Experimenting on…

direction, we are using technology and advanced research to better our way of living. The Millennial generation is slowly becoming aware of how toxic processed foods truly are, therefore advancement in technology and medicine might make society healthier. As we are applying research to understand the congruence between animals and humans, the future might provide a collaborative environment where humans and animals will learn how to positively live…

Research for the medical field has been an extremely large industry around the world for centuries. This research is used to find cures for diseases and illnesses which is necessary for the human population, but it costs millions if not billions of dollars annually and is a long process that can take up to 10 years to finish one medical trial. All drugs and treatments have to pass a model organism trial before being tested on humans in a clinical trial due to ethics in medicine. Model organisms…

I began my undergraduate research career at the end of my freshman year, under Dr. Chase at Northwest Nazarene University. Inspired by the work done on the Human Microbiome Project, this endeavor sought to predict bacterial behavior using its DNA sequence. As this project was in its infancy, most of my research was focused into generating a workflow that could be used for this process, and scouring through literature for examples of laboratories that had done the same. This bioinformatics…

Research is the key foundation of learning as well as a stimulant of the mind; it causes people to further investigate a subject that they are interested in and to develop various viewpoints on the subject. However research comes at a price, not only in the form of hard work, stress, and mental strain, but also in the form that most often eludes research from being done, the monetary form. In the medical world, research is fundamental to further not only the ability to diagnose, to treat…

ethics within scientific research, sixty participants were surveyed and prompted to express their level of agreement on choices taken within specific ethical dilemmas. The ethical dilemmas questioned the ethics within the consent of cognitively impaired research participants, and the involvement of family members within research studies. 70% of the participants agreed that it was ethical to include family members who have the medical condition of interest within scientific research. This finding…

Francisella tularensis is a bacterium that has been recognized to be an agent responsible for the disease known as tularemia. This disease, in essence, sends the immune system of the organism into a hyperactive state, sometimes referred to as hypercytokinemia due to the elevated levels of various cytokines, which if not treated properly could lead to extremely high fevers, inflammation of various tissues, and (if contracted through aerosol form) the death of the infected organism. Specifically,…
