Maintaining rigor, validity and trustworthiness. Qualitative researchers substitute the idea of data trustworthiness for validity and reliability (Klopper, n
It can also be accomplished by using different techniques -- such as extant document review and interviews -- within a research method to answer the research questions (Polkinghorne, 2005). When a participant is asked to review the data that a researcher has collected, along with the conclusions reached based on that data, the researcher has accomplished a member check (Kotler, 2003)
Research participants appreciate an opportunity to assess if data associated with them is accurate (Kotler, 2003). The process of completing member checks contributes substantively to trust building (Lincoln & Guba, 1985)
The quality of care that these Veterans receive, coupled with their own belief in the veracity of the treatment approaches, will ultimately determine when and how they reintegrate into society and enjoy a lie free from the debilitating symptoms of PTSD ("Office of Public Affairs," 2014). The literature indicates that the perceptions patients have related to the quality of care they receive can be a pivotal factor in how well they respond to care (Polkinghorne, 2005)
Sampling plan and frame. A sampling plan is an umbrella term for the processes that facilitate the identification and establishment of a sample (Savin-Baden & Major, 2013)
The PTSD treatment offered to Veterans is recovery oriented, taking the needs and preferences of Veterans into consideration in order to help them identify and achieve meaningful personal goals and satisfying lives. Literature Review Significant barriers exist for veterans who have been diagnosed with PTSD and are seeking a full course of treatment for their PTSD condition (Seal, et
Research aim: What is the aim of the study? The purpose of the current research is to explore the perceptions of Veterans with PTSD who are being treated for their disorder in community long-term facilities. Provision of the results to clinicians and practitioners is indicated in order to support advancements in treatment interventions and efficacious support of Veterans with PTSD (Vive, et al
In fact, the work Paradise Lost can be read as a political allegory, where thematic elements within the epic are "aligned with aspects of the political context of the poem's creation" (Roberts 1). In this political allegory, the characters are in a political situation, as "he saw the events of the Christian myth he was retelling as paradigms or archetypes for the daily events of the Civil War" (Forsyth 63)
Milton's powerful representation of Satan in Paradise Lost is another powerful political tie to the English Civil War. Through this character, Milton is exposing the "fear of change / Perplexes Monarchs" (Milton I
The English Civil War was a major influence in a number of literary and artistic works made during this period. The beginning stages of the conflict lasted between1642-1651 (Roberts 1)
Throughout the work, Satin is one of the primary political figures. Here, the research suggests that "Milton responded to and consciously or unconsciously reproduced these entangled aspects of war in his portrayal of the war in heaven" (Summers & Pebworth 235)
Sprint backlog refers to the list of duties the development team should finish before the next sprint. The sprint backlog is determined by the velocity of the last sprint where the development team evaluates the work that they can complete in the time frame (Cohn 67)
The last type of meeting is sprint retrospective where members reflect on past sprints. This meeting has a three hour limit whose aim is to make continuous improvement to the process (Larman 119)
Backlog grooming is where the project members meet to discuss the existing backlog. Scrum of scrums takes place every day after the daily scrum, during this meeting the agenda of the Scrum is discussed and more questions posed to team members (Schwaber 167)
A decision which is made during the planning meeting and in the planning meetings, the product owner interacts with the development team enumerating the features of the product that are of high priority. The features listed on the backlog are evaluated by the development team who then decide what portion of the work the team can complete within the next sprint (Hunt 117)
She feels that she must go down to visit with her sister immediately, because "I love my dear sister; I must be near at this crisis of her life'." (Forster, 569) By her overreaction, her Aunt Juley actually goes to Howard's End to visit with Helen (in the hopes of breaking off her "engagement" to Paul) in place of Margaret, whom Aunt Juley states, "would say the wrong thing
The human resource frame views participation as a way to build motivation and commitment." (Boleman & Deal, 2003, p
Finally war and a nation's involvement in it can alter the manner in which public administration operates in the future, in both positive and negative ways, depending on the circumstances, possible level of corruption and ultimately on the strength of the system or its policies that predate the war. (Bruck, 1997) It also must be noted here that during periods of war the aspects of the nation which are frequently targeted are those that are specifically under the jurisdiction of the public administration in many nations
Options for the establishment or reconstruction of governing institutions seem stark: either reinforce the status quo and build on it, further empowering the already strong; or replace altogether what exists with a new administrative order. (Chopra & Hohe, 2004) As Chopra and Hohe note in the above work on public administration it is often at the most local level that positive change is really felt, as these players have a commitment to local need as well as, hopefully a demonstrative separation from any corrupting force that may be present in a more centralized control center
In a well placed quote Denhardt & Denhardt point out the words of another civic democratic theorist who said; "The conduct of citizens in a culture of power is basically unvirtuous in that it has little to do with the citizen's main duty as an agent responsible for common participation based on independent points-of-view, eventually fostering the mutual responsibility which alone enriches the commonwealth's life"(1968, 53). (Denhart & Denhardt, 2007, p
