would certainly augment the other. Specifically, I would design the study so that there was a quantitative analysis of the number of threats that this continent faced regarding terrorism and counterterrorism. Additionally, I would deploy a statistical analysis to provide additional quantitative data. I would buttress these results with a qualitative study that yielded additional knowledge into the nature of those threats. This would involve in-depth details of the means of carrying about these threats, and how they could be counteracted.
As per the guidelines issued in the USAID (2013), I would formulate my study along the lines of beginning with the quantitative analysis. This analysis… Continue Reading...
Starbucks Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is a tool that is beneficial in undertaking quantitative analysis on figures found on financial statements. Ratios provide a common approach for comparing financial strength and performance of two or more companies. Imperatively, ratios can divulge a company’s financial strength or weakness in addition to divulge trends regarding business conditions and profitability (Noreen, Brewer, and Garrison, 2017). The main purpose of this assignment is to perform ratio analysis of Starbucks to analyze the company’s strengths and weaknesses.
Profitability
One of the key aspects that determine the strong suit of a corporation is its profitability levels. Profitability ratios measure… Continue Reading...
It is necessary to quantify the number of sites or users linked with terrorist activity -- which will yield quantitative analysis pertaining to pervasive (Burke, 2016). Additionally, it is important to also collect qualitative data regarding the nature and severity of online postings related to terrorist attacks in any way. Perhaps the most important data collection activity will be that which requires governmental involvement -- specifically call records and those pertaining to text methods. By obtaining government permission, the researchers should be able to monitor this information for both qualitative and quantitative data to determine any links between phone users and terrorist activities. This data can be counterposed with… Continue Reading...
using both qualitative and quantitative analysis: for example, there have been studies conducted using multivariate statistical analysis (Verchota & Sawin, 2016), self-reporting (Schilling et al., 2009a, 2009b), experiment (Lorig et al., 1999), meta-analysis testing of participants (Chodosh et al., 2005) and interviews and surveys (Lorig, Sobel, Ritter, Laurent & Hobbs, 2001).
Examples include:
· Lorig et al. (1999) in which the researchers examined 952 patients in a randomized control trial. The researchers’ intervention was a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program which took place over seven weeks, with sessions explaining how to self-manage so as to… Continue Reading...
selection. Through the application of ethnography theory research can interact with targeted population and retrieve fundamental information which can be studies for valuable results. Quantitative analysis can be used to come up with visual representations for data through the use of charts, tables, plots and graphs (Coogan, 2015). Researchers applying quantitative analysis can draw conclusions from argument, evidence and logic. Raw data interpretation should be directed by general guidelines for the evaluation of assertions and claims made and the assessment of the soundness of instruments used. Quantitative analysis will also apply protocols to anticipate or control existing threats to the validity of outcomes (Coogan, 2015).
Research intention is quite important for every research in… Continue Reading...
less rigorous and informative for researchers and professionals than quantitative analysis. Yet some leaders will prefer basing their policies on qualitative literature because it is thematic, conceptual and oftentimes more emotionally appealing. Quantitative studies, however, appeal to the logical side of the mind, the empirical aspect of research, which requires physical evidence that can be seen and duplicated in a second and third study so that results and statistics are verified. Statistical data can be tested and proved accurate in ways that qualitative data simply cannot be.
For criminal justice policy making, statistical support can come in a number… Continue Reading...
for victims. This study is useful in providing a quantitative analysis of perpetrators in elder abuse to help better understand the victimology of the subject, as Jackson (2016) called for.
Jackson, S. L. (2016). All elder abuse perpetrators are not alike: the heterogeneity of
elder abuse perpetrators and implications for intervention. International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology, 60(3), 265-285.
This study points out that not all victimization experiences can be identified as criminal cases, but that does not mean they should be ignored. Jackson makes the argument that to better understand why victims allow perpetrators of elder abuse to… Continue Reading...
