Research Problem and Purpose

Vamos et al. (2012) posit that maintaining a blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg is recommended for the population diagnosed with hypertension, and an even lower blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg is recommended for people with chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, clarity on the effects of the blood pressure on all-cause mortality is currently lacking.

Write a brief description of the major findings from the paper

The current study examined how much people think and what emotional experience they have about their behavior when they perform habitual actions or actions, behaviors which are not habitual for them. As it was supposed, results of the study demonstrated that when a person performs habitual actions one`s thoughts are less likely to correspond to one`s actions. On the contrary, when a person performs some novelty actions in less stable or variable context this person is more likely to think about one`s actions or, in other words, thoughts and actions correspond to each other.

Primary Strengths and Weaknesses of Quantitative and Qualitative Research Designs

Quantitative research designs are an objective and deductive method of problem solving. Qualitative research designs, on the other hand, are a subjective and inductive way of problem solving. Previously, quantitative studies were considered to be more rigorous than qualitative studies. Qualitative studies have, however, gained additional credibility in recent decades (Keele, 2011). Some researchers actually posit that judicious use of both research approaches can enrich research in some areas of enquiry. This paper will examine the main strengths and weaknesses of quantitative and qualitative research designs.
The main strength of quantitative study designs is the generalizability of their findings. ...

The research findings obtained from the implemented and evaluated interventions should be disseminated whether these findings are similar to the expected outcomes of the researchers. The dissemination of information and publication of research findings are considered as important steps in the research process because it allows not only replication but also application of the findings with positive results to other population groups (Forsyth, et al., 2010). According to Matchar, et al. (2005), the dissemination of research findings can be considered as the best method to maximize the use and benefits of these information since the obtained information can greatly ...

Earnings Differentials : Understanding the Gender Wage GapTerm Paper Workshop

In a May 2014 document released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics it was reported that although almost as many women as men are in the workforce (52% and 70.2%, respectively), males earn a higher median salary than females regardless of job type or race. Additionally, the most current census data show that women’s average earnings in the United States are only 71.3% of men’s (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014). This difference in earnings between men and women is not exclusive to the United States; however, it has been noted to be one of the largest ...

The media has been helpful in promotion, enhancement and the advancement of scientific breakthroughs. An excellent media profiling and reporting can have a considerable impact on the popularity and the recognition of scientific research and findings.

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

1.0 Without putting the figures you cited into a spreadsheet, it is quick to appreciate the fact that the medical costs of obesity is clearly higher than the cost of implementing the research project. The net obesity cost (NOC)-to-project implementation cost (PIC) ratio of 10.2 [$1,429 / $140] is convincingly high. A patient’s annual savings from obesity cost can virtually finance this project implementation estimate.
However, it is unclear to us if the cost of implementing the proposed exercise prescription protocol (EPP) or the actual implementation of EPP by the patient, using the necessary equipment and ...
