¶ … Powell (2008) is discussing the utilization of mixed method research. What actuaries found is that the majority of actuaries used this kind of approach sparingly (with only 13.7% of the studies classified in these categories). This is providing a basic foundation for understanding the methods that are embraced by psychologists. (Powell, 2008, pp. 291 -- 311)
How many are included in this study? Is this sample size appropriate for this study?
The sample size of the study is 873 articles. This was subdivided into a several different demographics to include: the Journal of School Psychology (157), Psychology in the Schools (365), School Psychology Review (145) and School Psychology Quarterly (206). This size is considered to be appropriate from: the different categories and the large number of articles that were reviewed. (Powell, 2008, pp. 291 -- 311)
Demographics: Explain the demographic variables (age, gender, ethnicity, education etc. And how these related to the study).
In this case, the demographics are segregated into a number of different categories to include: literature review, meta-analysis, commentary, response and book review....

Recruitment: How were the participants recruited? Were all recruited included in the study? Is the sample appropriate for this study?
Participants were not physically recruited. Instead, different scholarly sources were consulted. As a result, the sample size is appropriate given the focus of the study. (Powell, 2008, pp. 291 -- 311)
Location: Where were the data collected?
The data was collected from the library in particular there was an emphasis on psychology journals and research studies. (Powell, 2008, pp. 291 -- 311)
Discuss the appropriateness of the sample (is the size adequate? Is the sample appropriate for this study?)
The sample size is appropriate. It is looking at larger demographics and different kinds of articles (which is: providing more balance to the study). When this occurs, actuaries can conduct a more detailed analysis to support or refute their…

Quality of the Optimization for Resource Planning Model by C. Santos et al. (2013) Any multinational organization with more than 100,000 knowledge workers is faced with some profound challenges in harnessing this pool of talent for a diverse set of information technology projects.

Differential Diagnosis The patient has been given a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Major Depressive Disorder. Since depressive symptoms are common in PTSD we would need to consider whether the depression or the PTSD is the primary diagnosis.

Moreover, nurses are in a position to identify cases of poor oral health among patients visiting the primary care unit of a healthcare center. For this reason, Kaylor et al.

They identify that nurses can work with low-income women in the community and educate
