Dreaming
This chapter discusses the methodology to be used in the study. It describes the procedures that will be applied and followed systematically in conducting the research study. Steps involved in carrying out the research study are elaborated and a justification for the chosen research design is justified. The research design, unit of analysis, sampling design and procedures, instruments of data collection and data analysis are given in this section.
Research methodology defines the explicit system and rules used to direct the conduct of a research Lunenfeld & Laurel, 2003.
A research methodology thus entails the process of caring out the research, and the procedures that the study follows in order to obtain result in a scientific manner. Research methodology assures that the information derived from the conduct of a study meets the required standards for use in arriving at conclusion.
Research design
A research design is the abstract construction for a conducting a research. It constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. In this study, survey research was identified as the main research design. A survey entails of gathering information from a population on their actions, characteristics or opinions.
Survey research is a quantitative and qualitative method, requiring standardized information about and from the subjects being studied. The subjects studied include individuals, groups, organizations, conditions or behavior, communities or systems. In our study the subjects to be studied are individuals and the actions given particular circumstances.
Surveys conducted for research purposes have three characteristics. The survey's purpose of producing valuable insights in form of quantitative and qualitative information is the first; descriptions of some aspects of the study population....
Survey analysis may be interested with interactions between variables, or with contriving findings descriptively to a predefined situation Groves et al., 2004()
For this study, the two variables are dreams and overall body functioning. Second, the main way of collecting information and thirdly how that information is used to generalize the findings to a wider population. The survey for their study entails observation and creating a database for the observations made.
The study will be conducted as a survey with information gathering entailing bringing the respondents in a controlled environment. Prior to conducting the survey information about the respondents will be sought and a data base of the information created. The study will use volunteer participants in order to minimize that cost of the undertaking. The participants will be reimbursed to compensate for their time and involvement in the survey.
A data base for participants body functioning will be kept to collect and obtain information on their body functioning. This information will be useful in giving an insight on the normal functioning of the participants and will be evaluated against reviewed studies on body functioning. The data base will further be evaluated against the information collected under the controlled environment. This will form a basis for comparisons and conclusion to be arrived at.
Site description
The site will be controlled in a laboratory setting to provide a situation where the participants can be able to dream and another one where they cannot be dream. This will also present allow for observation of the participants body functioning through engaging them in activities. The controlled environment targets to ensure that, extraneous condition that may influence the outcome are exempted.
The site will accommodate the participants…

Establishing an NP Led Wellness and Recovery Center for Deinstitutionalized Individuals Historically, nursing, and medicine professions have been loath to utilize tools commonly linked with mercenary aspects of business, such as market research and decision analysis. In the contemporary health care setting, however, consumers hold numerous options for care providers. The division of the market or market segmentation into different subgroups allows the determination of target markets and the buildup of
It will focus discovering the treatment option, or combination of options that results in the lowest incidence of recidivism for the longest period following the treatment. It is difficult to predict future events, therefore the research will take a historical perspective on the problem. This study will compare recidivism rates for the four most common treatments used for pedophile offenders. It will only consider treatment for those that were convicted
