Описание: Research design is fundamental to all scientific endeavors, at all levels and in all institutional settings. In many social science disciplines, however, scholars working in an interpretive-qualitative tradition get little guidance on this aspect of research from the positivist-centered training they receive. This book is an authoritative examination of the concepts and processes underlying the design of an interpretive research project. Such an approach to design starts with the recognition that researchers are inevitably embedded in the intersubjective social processes of the worlds they study. In focusing on researchers’ theoretical, ontological, epistemological, and methods choices in designing research projects, Schwartz-Shea and Yanow set the stage for other volumes in the Routledge Series on Interpretive Methods. They also engage some very practical issues, such as ethics reviews and the structure of research proposals. This concise guide explores where research questions come from, criteria for evaluating research designs, how interpretive researchers engage with "world-making," context, systematicity and flexibility, reflexivity and positionality, and such contemporary issues as data archiving and the researcher’s body in the field.

Описание: ITAMOrg(R) IT Hardware Asset Management Certifications is suitable for individuals wanting to demonstrate they have achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor the Hardware Asset Management practices. Hardware Asset Management (HAM) is important for every organization. Management and control of hardware influences the risk on most asset types such as Software, Cloud & Services and People and Information assets. E.g., if you are not in control of what hardware is in use it is not possible for you to control your software which will result in software license in-compliance and other risks.The Hardware Asset Management Specialist Certification brings participants IT Service Management best practices together with Hardware Asset Management best practices. This will help an organization to implement Hardware Asset Management lifecycle processes and showing how IT Service Management can support HAM lifecycles to be in control and support the other Asset types.The purpose of the ITAMOrg Hardware Asset Management Specialist (HAMS) course and certification is to provide knowledge on best practices and use of Hardware Asset Management (HAM) in the challenges that Hardware Asset Managers face on a daily basis. This certification is based on a practical approach to strengthen the participants understanding of how ISO 55000 and IT Service Management best practice relates to everyday use of HAM, Hardware standards, Hardware lifecycle control, control of retirement and disposal and organizational issues that saturates many businesses in today`s digital world.This Courseware is suited for the ITAMOrg(R) 2020 HAM exam. There is also a sample exam added of the ITAMOrg(R) 2020 Hardware Asset Management in case the participant prefers to refresh its knowledge. The Exam is delivered in English.

Описание:
Concepts have always been foundational to the social science enterprise. This book is a guide to working with them. Against the positivist project of concept "reconstruction"--the formulation of a technical, purportedly neutral vocabulary for measuring, comparing, and generalizing--Schaffer adopts an interpretivist approach that he calls "elucidation." Elucidation includes both a reflexive examination of social science technical language and an investigation into the language of daily life. It is intended to produce a clear view of both types of language, the relationship between them, and the practices of life and power that they evoke and sustain. After an initial chapter explaining what elucidation is and how it differs from reconstruction, the book lays out practical elucidative strategies--grounding, locating, and exposing--that help situate concepts in particular language games, times and tongues, and structures of power. It also explores the uses to which elucidation can be put and the moral dilemmas that attend such uses. By illustrating his arguments with lively analyses of such concepts as "person," "family," and "democracy," Schaffer shows rather than tells, making the book both highly readable and an essential guide for social science research.
Описание: An overview of how complex systems from a variety of fields can be modelled using principles of quantum mechanics; from biology and ecology, to sociology and decision-making. The mathematical basis of these models is fully described, providing a self-contained introduction for students and researchers in applied mathematics or theoretical physics.
A practical guide to using modern software effectively in quantitative research in the social and natural sciences.
This book offers a practical guide to the computational methods at the heart of most modern quantitative research. It will be essential reading for research assistants needing hands-on experience; students entering PhD programs in business, economics, and other social or natural sciences; and those seeking quantitative jobs in industry. No background in computer science is assumed; a learner need only have a computer with access to the Internet. Using the example as its principal pedagogical device, the book offers tried-and-true prototypes that illustrate many important computational tasks required in quantitative research. The best way to use the book is to read it at the computer keyboard and learn by doing.
The book begins by introducing basic skills: how to use the operating system, how to organize data, and how to complete simple programming tasks. For its demonstrations, the book uses a UNIX-based operating system and a set of free software tools: the scripting language Python for programming tasks; the database management system SQLite; and the freely available R for statistical computing and graphics. The book goes on to describe particular tasks: analyzing data, implementing commonly used numerical and simulation methods, and creating extensions to Python to reduce cycle time. Finally, the book describes the use of LaTeX, a document markup language and preparation system.
