CHAPTER: METHODOLOGY
Research Strategy
This study will adopt an exploratory research design where secondary data analysis will be used to understand phenomenon. Secondary data indicates the multiple dimensions based on the realities of different authors. According to Edirisingha (2012), the ontological and epistemological idea behind it is interpretivism. There are different realities presented are socially constructed; thereby, this research forms a basis for future objectively constructed realities through actual primary research.
Data Collection
This type of study relies on results, reports, working and conference papers, and that have already been presented. This secondary analysis is aimed at establishing hypotheses that can be used by future researchers who wish to engage in primary research future. The secondary analysis is easy to conduct because it is cheap and less time consuming.
Sampling Strategy
Since this is there is limited empirical information on this topic, this secondary analysis will utilize secondary data from previous literature to determine the factors that have been proposed result in an aged workforce in small businesses. In addition, this analysis will help to determine the impact this ageing workforce has on the small business: positivity or negatively. Review was based on reports and articles on ageing and small business specifically in the UK. Only articles written in English were included.
Data Analysis
The findings in this review represent the raw data. Since the evidence to be included is Based on the search results and nature of evidence, data analysis will be based on extracting the study, population, and results, which will be in tabular form.
A systematic review was used to determine the impact of ageing on small businesses in the UK. This kind of study is more ideal because it allows the application of evidence-based research in to the real world of business. This kind of study targets both quantitative and qualitative type of data. The use of systematic reviews allocation of individuals into groups based on the researcher�s purpose, in this case, the age factor. Being a systematic review, various databases were used, including Wiley Online, CIPD website, JSTOR, Springer, Project Muse, ProQuest Archive, Academic Search Complete and others based on relevance of the research study. The search terms used were developed in reference to the topic of the study. These terms included �age�, �ageing�, �old/older generation�, �business performance�, �effect/impact�, �small businesses UK� and the articles were selected after a thorough review of the abstract. In the event an abstract was missing, the full text was used for determining inclusion or exclusion of the article. Articles included in the study had to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The selection process was made by the review team, which included two reviewers and their discrepancies were resolved by including a third reviewer.
The inclusion/exclusion criteria entailed the selection of studies that solely adapted experimental kind of studies but randomization was not crucial. Studies examining the effect of age on small businesses (located in the UK) were of interest. The problem of study is old age; thus, the study compares the baby boomers from the age of 55 in accordance with Dhanjal and Schirle (2014) with the younger population less than 55 years in the workplace. Also, individuals included in the study had to have at least three years, but no more than four years, of experience working in a small business. Internships and attachments counted for the years of experience. Older people are presumed to have numerous chronic ailments according to the Institute of Medicine (2008); hence, articles reporting on medical costs as a variable were excluded from the review. Also, the individuals had not have received a performance appraisal prior to the study to ensure that the baseline performance assessment was the first and improvement strategies done during appraisal processes were not underway in either one of the participants.
Apart from the inclusion and exclusion criteria stated above, all studies were included regardless of the language used in reporting. Keeping note of all the essential elements of the studies to be included in this review, the review of empirical evidence older than ten years was disregarded. Therefore, the studies were limited to the years between 2007 and 2016. The study collected both quantitative and qualitative data. The review was conducted for a time period of three months. During this time, the searching, inclusion and exclusion of research studies, and went on. Data was extracted from the selected articles and spreadsheet was used to present the results. Publications from the selected studies were appraised and if found worthy of inclusion, was reviewed. Search results were checked based on relevance and duplication. Hence, similar publications of a study were linked to avoid duplication (Committee on Standards for Systematic Reviews of Comparative Effectiveness Research & Institute of Medicine, 2011).
Studies that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were retrieved for further appraisal. Validity of the review was assured by determining the quality of the studies reviewed, and studies with a low score were excluded from this review. The quality of the studies included in this review was determined by a scoring system developed by the review team. The quality assessment tool used in this review was adapted from the AMSTAR tool (Smith 2011, Devane 2011, Begley 2011, and Clarke, 2011).
Upon obtaining the original results, a thorough examination of the inclusion criteria and quality of the studies led to a small number of studies that were used for the final review. The effects of age were noted down using M/s Excel and a second review was done to ensure that no one effect had been omitted. In addition, this reporting template was used to note down the sample size of each study, the effect sizes of the result, and robustness of the methods used in each study. Themes were noted for qualitative studies, and this information formed basis for the narrative.
Variation in the studies� methodology made it impossible to combine the results. Heterogeneity prevailed in reference to the age of the participants in the different studies and the variables of interest. Therefore, the results of each study were discussed separately. A narrative approach sufficed as the mode through which the authors summarized the findings.

Ethical Approval
This research is entirely based on secondary research analysis. The ethical clearance process with the Anglia Ruskin University re secondary data approval.
This research also has approval from the Anglia Ruskin University and gives rise to no ethical issues.

This was the method chapter that I got it from you guys back in August and my tutor has gone through it and gave me following comments …please go through it and please modify it accordingly…It seems there are few things missing on it.
Unfortunately at the moment it is reading like a findings chapter ie what you have done and not why and what you intend to do.

The chapter is the defence of a research design which provides clarity from research methods theory for what you intend – has to be written in the future tense and provide a structure of what you will do.

There are also no discussion of the constraints.

You may want to use some of this for your findings you need to translate it to your plans for what you will do

Drawing on your own life stories and experiences, what does a nursing career mean to you?
How does your nursing practice parallel the ANA (2015) Code of Ethics? List 4 specific examples from the Code of Ethics.
What motivates you to remain in the nursing profession? Give an example through a personal story and what you learned that motivates you as a registered nurse.
Develop 3 short-term and 3 long-term goals that emphasize your unique strengths. �
How will a BSN degree impact your short-term and long-term career goals?
Be creative and talk about your personal journey as a nurse. Include a personal nursing philosophy in the reflection.
Remember to follow APA 6th edition format and include a title page, running head, page numbers and a reference page, as well as in-text reference citations. The page limit is content and does not include the title page and reference page.

Human development in psychology focuses on the life span of people and identifies aspects which change and remain the same.

In the last class presentation we discussed a few perspectives (biological, ecological and biological/ecological) within Human development. Then, we watched 20 minutes of a documentary film: ‘Louder Than A Bomb’, and were asked to link what you heard, observed, and remembered of the characters in the film, and utilize the a the ecological perspective to deepen your thoughts. This exercise is a creative way to apply the information by linking theory with action.

Please continue to develop your thoughts utilizing one of the 3 perspectives below. Write at least 3-4 sentences of developed linked thoughts.

Utilizing the Ecological perspective (Bronfenbrenner), identify and describe the environment(s) that the you as an adolescent experienced.
Psychodynamic Perspective: Projective identification. Which one of the high school students did you like or identify the most with? Please clarify your thoughts with clear detail, or a concrete example to clarify your ideas.
Take Erik Erikson’s stages of Psychosocial Development and identify how you as an adolescents experienced one of the stages: Industry vs. Inferiority, Identity vs. Role.
Please read your notes and the textbook material as you develop your thoughts. Thank you!

This is the requirement from the lecture:

Students are expected to reflect on the key issues for each seminar and document their response in writing using ideas from the key theories and readings in the seminars. Students are to reflect on at least five (5) seminars ( 2 diary entries must be based on the Guest Lectures) resulting in 5 diary entries. What are the main ideas/theories discussed? Are there key issues/theories? Have your ideas changed or been reinforced in terms of issues covered in the seminars that relate to leadership? What have you learned more broadly? This diary is meant to reflect critical thinking and should be the student’s own work. However, all quotes or ideas taken from other sources must be referenced appropriately using a recognised academic referencing system such as the author/date or Harvard referencing systems. URKUND is enabled for all assessment items in this unit.The diary must be submitted via Moodle on time. Late penalties will apply and extensions will only be considered when the extension form is signed and submitted well before the due date with supporting documentation.
Word Count Rules: The word count is conducted by using the word count function in Microsoft Word by highlighting the first word of the first sentence to the last word of the last sentence. The word count includes all in-text references and quotes but does not include the title or the reference list. Plus or minus 10% leeway is given for the word count, for example the Reflective Diary (2,000words) must be within 1800 to 2,200 words. Markers will ignore those parts of the essay that exceed the word limit, and essays which are under the word limit will be considered as not representing a completed assessment task. Excessive use of quotes will be heavily penalised. Writing to a set word count is a requirement in almost every profession.

Please make sure you take note of the following before submitting your reflective diary:

1) Please read the instructions in the unit outline and the Academic Skills lecture before submitting your reflective diary.
2) Please do not focus on the entire seminar (do not attempt to summarise the entire seminar). The instructions clearly state to choose one or two concepts/theories from each seminar to focus on.
3) You must stick to the word limits.
4) You must reference if you use other people’s words. The reflective diary is not based on research however you must always acknowledge other people’s work appropriately.
5) Use subheadings in the reflective diary to indicate which seminar the concepts are from.
6) Do not simply focus on describing your experience or the concept/theory. Critical reflection/analysis means asking why are things the way they are? What does the theory say and what happens in real life? Do they match? If not, why not. If yes, which parts and how? Always use concepts and theories and language from the unit. This is not a personal diary, this is still an assessment item that should demonstrate your understanding of theories and concepts form the unit.
7) You can use the first person in the diary (I) but you cannot and should not use the royal ‘we’. You are the sole author of the work and this is not group work. You must still use formal language in the reflective diary. Please edit your work carefully before submission.
8) Please follow instructions as you will lose marks for not following instructions.

My expection:

1. You are going to write 5 topics about 5 seminars that I attended before. 3 of them were lecture seminars which included the slides and I will attach the slides along with this order.
2. There is no slides of the other 2 guest lecture topics. They are about �Power and Leadership� and �Leading Teams�. You are free to write anything about these 2 topics, Just make sure you have 2 references per each.
3. There are about 400 words and 2 references per each topics (the references can be from journal either articles or websites, No books please).
4. As the lecture said, Please do not focus on the entire seminar (do not attempt to summarise the entire seminar). The instructions clearly state to choose one or two concepts/theories from each seminar to focus on.
Thank you so much.

3. In the “Individual Assignment 3: 10 Discoveries in the War on Cancer” document is a set of 10 scientists’ discoveries. Scan the discoveries briefly. Then open the assignment submission link in Module/Week 4. In the text box, number from 1 to 10 for the 10 discoveries listed in the document.
4. reducing cancer risks, (b) correcting/restoring cancer cells to normal, or (c) destroying cancerous tissue? After #1 in your list, place in parentheses the letter representing the approach to fighting cancer that will best be served by this new discovery. (More than Reflect carefully on the first discovery (#1). Would this discovery be more useful for (a) one approach may be served, but which is most likely to be helped most significantly?)

Individual Assignment 3: 10 Discoveries in the War on Cancer

1. Malignant brain tumors in adults are fast-growing cancers with median survival rates of 15 months, even with aggressive treatment. Researchers have been searching for genetic “signatures” (characteristic groups of cancer-causing genes) that could help in defining the kind of brain tumor the patient has. They hope to be better able to predict the course of the disease and the patient’s response to treatment.

 

1. Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide. It is a risk factor for lung cancer and several other types of cancer. Results of analysis of the entire human gene collection (the “genome”) support some previous findings that a region of human chromosome number 15 contains one or more genes that are associated with smoking intensity (the number of cigarettes smoked per day) and the closely related trait of nicotine dependency.
2. Immunologists are investigating ways to destroy lymphocytes (white blood cells of the immune system) that have become cancerous (lymphomas). A current drug, Rituxamab, contains antibodies that bind to the surfaces of these lymphocytes, setting them up for destruction by the cancer patient’s own immune system. They are currently seeking ways to modify the antibody’s structure so that it will attract the cancer patient’s “natural killer” (NK) cells to the lymphocytes. Success of this project will bring a multifaceted immune response against lymphomas and hasten their destruction.
3. Virologists are modifying lentiviruses as vectors for carrying proto-oncogenes into cancer-transformed cells in culture. They are developing this virus for inserting the ras proto-oncogene directly into its correct location in the genome. The correct ras gene will already be linked to human DNA to either side of it and complexed with a recombination enzyme that will insert it into its correct location within the human genome. At the same time, the recombination enzyme will excise the defective oncogenic form of ras. The cells in culture should again come under normal hormonal control and require extra-cellular signals in order to continue dividing.
4. Immunologists are working with a mutation (HER2) that is expressed on the surface of many breast, bladder, pancreatic, and ovarian cancer cells. They have made antibodies against this mutant surface protein. These antibodies have been covalently bonded to a “gene expression vector” that makes cells light up when incubated with luciferin from fireflies. The vector takes the gene for luciferin into the cancer cells. The researchers have shown that their antibody can accurately find and light up cancer cells. Their next step is to bond the antibody to an expression vector that carries the normal HER2 gene into mutant cancer cells.

 

1. Biochemists have discovered a protein kinase enzyme named BRAF that is an important link in a molecular pathway that causes a cell to divide. Normally BRAF responds to signals coming from outside the cell—signals calling for the cell to divide normally under normal conditions. But there is a mutation in BRAF enzymes that causes it to activate the cell toward division continually. In this way it results in melanomas, thyroid, and ovarian cancers. Biochemists have also found a drug, vemurafenib, that binds selectively to mutant BRAF, totally inactivating it. Cells that have inactivated BRAF undergo apoptosis, a process that leads to cell death.
2. Organic chemists are exploring structural variations of the organic compound avobenzone (1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-tert-butylphenyl) propane-1,3-dione) for inclusion in sunblock products. Avobenzone is known for its ability to absorb a broad spectrum of ultraviolet radiations, including UVB light (known to enhance the frequency of basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas [skin cancers]) and UVA rays (thought to increase the frequency of melanoma cancers). New variations in the structure of avobenzone are hoped to retain the ability to absorb harmful UV radiation while having an increased stability in the presence of that radiation.

 

1. Molecular biologists have taken nanoparticle-sized spheres and used them to deliver a cell-killing toxin from bee venom to tumors in mice, substantially reducing tumor growth without harming normal body tissues. Nanoparticles are known to concentrate in solid tumors because blood vessels in tumors show “enhanced permeability and retention effect,” or EPR. Hence, substances such as nanoparticles escape more readily from the bloodstream into tumors and the generally poor drainage of lymph from tumors further helps trap the particles in tumor tissue.

 

1. Biochemists are analyzing the many, many components of red meat (beef, pork) to determine which component, if any, will cause increased colorectal cancer rates in mice when the component is administered orally. Studies have shown that higher colorectal cancer rates in humans are associated with higher consumption rates of red meat.

 

1. Molecular biologists have developed a new sequence of human genes called an ankyrin insulator sequence. You place a new, corrected, or therapeutic gene within this sequence. Its role is to create an active area on a human chromosome where the new gene can work efficiently no matter what chromosome it lands on.
2. this analysis for each of the remaining 9 discoveries. Return to the “Ways to Fight Cancer” presentation as needed for additional perspective. When finished, your entire text box must be simple: a numbered (1–10) list of letters a, b, or c.
3. Seven points are granted for each correct association, up to 8 correct. If you get any 9 correct out of 10, you get a perfect score (60 points) on the assignment. Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week

I would like to work closely with you to refine my dissertation for completion in 30 to 60 days (my draft is 90 pages with references, when we add the final chapters, probably btw 100 to 125 pages.

My advisors would like me to focus on three of the 16 students (lowest, middle and highest performance on the tests and questionnaires and audio recordings) and do mini case studies of how they responded.

Research questions: How do students respond to different multi-dimensional learning materials in dissection activities?

Can virtual dissections/#D instruction enhance their engagement w/science dissections? (How they thought they took advantage of the different media in each condition with paper,live frog and virtual dissections?) Reframing: Can various forms of 3D instruction motivate / learning,

Add social learning theories of: Branford & Schwartz, Vygotsky on scaffolding, proximal development (3D theorists), Piaget on children and three dimensional learning, Howard Gardner, learning styles, spatial intelligence and children. Patty Greenfield, solo vs collaborative learning, Eleanor Duckworth, fun, learning and Grit

Data:

� Pre and post labeling exercise scores

� Gains from Pre and post

� Lab test scores

� Questionnaires for paper frog, dissection and visualization

Coding structure for open-ended questions

Coding differently?

Use some numerical comparisons for some

Correlate lab tests with�

About � wanted to learn on their own�didn�t want to do group thing.

3 of 16 got it on their own; other 13 stated that it was fun because I did it with the help of my classmates. 6-7 thought collaboration made it fun and allowed them to complete�

� had3D simulation experience before; � had origami experience, � had dissection

Only 2 (of 16) thought it wasn�t fun�.

� said yes they learned more with simulation; the rest said they learned more with the live dissection

The different versions intrigued them. The live dissection was most helpful (5-6 of 16) (touch it and move it). Virtual was more fun.

Matching scores with their self-reporting on difficulty they had.

1) How do you feel you learn best?
