¶ … high level of anecdotal data and loose interpretation involved. For any serious study, what we want is quantitative or scientific research. While the term scientific research is frequently used in discussions and studies, many few may actually understand the real meaning of scientific research. For a research to be truly scientific, it must the following criteria:
"There must be a felt difficulty or problem to be addressed
There must be a location and definition of the felt difficulty
One must suggest solutions (hypotheses) to the problem
Using deductive reasoning one must predict the consequences of the various suggested solutions
One must test the hypothesis in action" (Blumenfeld, p. 119)
In most cases, we assume that scientific research is one that involves science. This may be true to some extent but there are other requirements for a research to be scientific and they have...
The research should also be "reproducible." This means that whatever results have been derived from the research should be reproducible in another experiment at some other laboratory by someone else at another time. It is only then the research can be considered scientific in nature.
One of the most controversial subjects of scientific study is its participants. For example when a pharmaceutical company decides to conduct a research on a new treatment, it will invite human beings instead of animals to participate in the research. But since the drug is new or alternative treatments being sought are untested, there is a likelihood that something might go wrong and participants may end up getting hurt. This is where participants rights come into play and scientific research has to be guided by some important principles which include "beneficence, respect for human dignity and justice." It is important to understand what they…

The third position means stepping outside the situation and seeing issues from the point-of-view of a third party. NLP reminds us that people receive information in various sensory channels: the visual, the auditory, the kinaesthetic (perception of movement of effort) and the digital mathematical or reasoned thinking (Taylor, 2000). The idea being that people use all of these modes, but may have a preferred mode. Ethnographic approach: this takes its
Physical Hazards of Slaughterhouse Workers The Nature of Slaughterhouse Work Musculoskeletal Disorders Diseases Trauma Burns Hearing Safeguards Ergonomics Dangerous Equipment Reporting and Organizational Culture Slaughterhouses are among the most hazardous workplace environments, and represent a significant challenge for industrial hygienists. Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common form, and are typically related to repetitive stress. Workers in this industry are asked to perform routine tasks at a sustained high rate of speed, and the use of advanced ergonomics is not universal in
Yet Mr. Friedman does not go to this depth of analysis and relies instead of lengthy, conversational passages in the book that could be trimmed and made more potent, relevant and valuable. The concept Mr. Friedman discusses of the Untouchables is altogether too elitist as well, and this chapter of the book is an illusion; there is no job safe in a globalized world. Only those willing to compete
Ayers (2000, p. 4) describes a supply chain as "Life cycle processes supporting physical, information, financial, and knowledge flows for moving products and services from suppliers to end-users." A supply chain can be short, as in the case of a cottage industry, or quite long and complex as in the manufacture, distribution, and sales of automobiles. In fact, the automobile supply chain has its origin in the mining of the
