NEWS STORY SUMMARY Dr.Raffael Ernst and colleagues at the Senckenberg Natural History Collections studied how abandoned forest roads in the rainforest of Central Guyana impact amphibian diversity. The study suggest that these roads serve as a sanctuary for amphibians during severe dry periods to enhance their survival and reproduction. For example, the water-filled potholes of roads act as spawning grounds. Researchers suggest these roads should not be disturbed as they are advantageous to…

begins with something all authors agree on and that is, the definition of theory varies. Cresswell (2009) contributes the variety to one aspect of theory, that it serves different purposes. Corley and Gioia (2011), self-described “borrowers” of the scientific discipline…

1. Summarize achievements From a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue an advanced degree in biological sciences and develop a satisfying and challenging career. My hard work in school, excellent state test scores, and extracurricular activities awarded me the Regent’s High Honors Endorsement Award— a full-ride scholarship to the University of Arizona. I studied an array of science concepts, including ecology, physics, and chemistry, and in May of 2015, I received my Bachelor’s of Science in…

Mortimer et privopoulos et Kumar(2015) This study was aimed to examine the effectiveness of hydrotherapy on social interactions and behaviours in the treatment of children with ASDs. The participants in these studies were aged between 3–12 years of age. The duration of the intervention ranged from 10–14 weeks, and each study used varied measures of outcome. Overall, all the studies showed some improvements in social interactions or behaviours following a Halliwick-based hydrotherapy…

produced, there are elements that have been adapted to present day work practises that prove that the theories can lead to greater organisational success. Taylor looked at the scientific aspect of organisational management. He saw it as ‘the division of labour between worker and manager, making it the manager’s job to produce scientific studies of tasks’ David Knights, 2012.He believed it allowed the managers to have closer monitoring and control of the workers and means of production,…

due to our preconceived habitus. It is only by maintaining such a continual vigilance that the sociologists can spot themselves in the act of importing their own biases into their work. Reflexivity is, therefore, a kind of additional stage in the scientific epistemology. If there is a single feature that makes Bourdieu stand out in the landscape of contemporary social theory’, wrote Loic J.D. Wacquant (1992: 36), ‘it is his signature obsession with reflexivity.’ For Bourdieu, reflexivity is an…

26. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: 26.1 Introduction: Biklen (2007) argues that the research methodology is a method or the steps, which the researcher proposes in order to conduct the research. This chapter will focus on research methodology which was used in the study and it will cover the research design, population and sampling techniques. The imperativeness of these research techniques was design to evaluates and analysis the available avenues. The research methodology will contain the following…

Introduction Educational research today is mainly conducted at the University level and many of the valuable studies and research occasionally makes it to the classroom in which the teacher might be able to utilize with their students (Diana, 2011). This occurs for the reasons that educational researchers overlook the realities of the current classroom, fail to create research results into practical solutions for the classroom teacher and students, and the research is conducted without the…

Editor Comments: The paper effectively highlights a research gap on the interesting topic of service innovation. In addition, the paper makes a theoretical contribution concerning economic theory of globalization (Huttons and Giddens, 2001). On a constructive note, the unit of analysis needs to be clarified and the mix of top journal articles in the literature review needs improvement. A flaw in the paper is the lack of a conceptual model which would depict relationships between constructs and…

organisational psychology entails. Industrial and organisational psychology is described as the application methods, facts and principles of psychology to people at work (Schultz & Schultz, 2010, p. 7). It is the branch of psychology that utilizes scientific theories of psychology and studies of human behaviour in work environment. For instance, some industrial and organisational psychologists…
