Описание: Whether you’re investigating fashion as a material object, an abstract idea, a social phenomenon, or a commercial system, qualitative techniques can further your understanding of almost any research topic. Doing Research in Fashion and Dress begins by guiding you through a brief history of fashion studies, and the debates surrounding it, before introducing key qualitative methodological approaches, including ethnography, semiology, and object-based research. Detailed case studies demonstrate how each methodology is used in practice. These case studies include Japanese subcultures, fashion photography blogs and semiotic studies of fashion magazine shoots and advertisements. This second edition also features a new chapter on internet sources and online ethnography, reflecting the adoption of social media tools not only by industry practitioners but also by academics.By contextualizing history, theory and practice Doing Research in Fashion and Dress offers:-A systematic examination of qualitative research methods in fashion studies in social sciences. -A practical guide for anyone wishing to conduct fashion research in academia or in the business world.-An accessible grounding in contemporary fashion studies literature.

Описание: Introduction to Research Methods: A Hands-On Approach makes learning research methods easy for students by giving them activities they can experience and do on their own. With clear, simple, and even humorous prose, this text offers students a straightforward introduction to an exciting new world of social science and behavioral research. Rather than making research seem intimidating, author Bora Pajo shows students how research can be an easy, ongoing conversation on topics that matter in their lives. Each chapter includes real research examples that illustrate specific topics that the chapter covers, guides that help students explore actual research challenges in more depth, and ethical considerations relating to specific chapter topics. 3 Reasons Why You`ll Want to Read This Book 1. Conducting research can be fun when you see it in terms that relate to your everyday life. 2. Knowing how to do research will open many doors for you in your career.

Описание:

Sample design is key to all surveys, fundamental to data collection, and to the analysis and interpretation of the data. Introduction to Survey Sampling, Second Edition provides an authoritative and accessible source on sample design strategies and procedures that is a required reading for anyone collecting or analyzing survey data. Graham Kalton discusses different types of probability samples, stratification (pre and post), clustering, dual frames, replicates, response, base weights, design effects, and effective sample size. It is a thorough revision and update of the first edition, published more than 35 years ago. Although the concepts of probability sampling are largely the same, there have been important developments in the application of these concepts as research questions have increasingly spanned multiple disciplines, computers have become central to data collection as well as data analysis, and cell phones have become ubiquitous, but response rates have fallen, and public willingness to engage in survey research has waned. While most of the volume focuses on probability samples, there is also a chapter on nonprobability samples, which are becoming increasingly important with the rise of social media and the world wide web.

Relevant, engaging, and packed with student-focused learning features, this book provides the basic step-by-step introduction to quantitative research and data every student needs.

Gradually introducing applied statistics and the language and functionality of R and R Studio software, it uses examples from across the social sciences to show students how to apply abstract statistical and methodological principles to their own work. Maintaining a student-friendly pace, it goes beyond a normal introductory statistics book and shows students where data originates and how to:

-       Understand and use quantitative data to answer questions

-       Approach surrounding ethical issues

-       Collect quantitative data

-       Manage, write about, and share the data effectively

Supported by incredible digital resources with online tutorials, videos, datasets, and multiple choice questions, this book gives students not only the tools they need to understand statistics, quantitative data, and R software, but also the chance to practice and apply what they have learned.

Описание: BiSL, Business information Services Library, is het framework voor business informatiemanagement. Sinds de introductie van BiSL is het model uitgegroeid tot de standaard op het vakgebied in Nederland. BiSL biedt een structuur en leidraad voor business informatiemanagement. BiSL legt verbindingen tussen operationeel functioneel beheer en strategisch informatiemanagement en geeft handvatten voor (verdere) professionalisering van business informatiemanagement.Al deze onderwerpen komen aan de orde in dit trainingsmateriaal dat ondersteuning biedt bij de voorbereiding op het officiele APMG BiSL Foundation examen. In combinatie met de toelichting bij de trainingsmaterialen door uw docenttrainer kunt u zich optimaal op het examen voorbereiden.Deze training gaat in op de uitgangspunten van BiSL en het met BiSL gedefinieerde proces- framework. Aan de orde komen de uitgangspunten en het framework als geheel, de uitvoerende processen (opgesplitst naar gebruiksbeheer, functionaliteitenbeheer en verbindende processen), de sturende processen en de richtinggevende processen.Er is veel ruimte voor uitwisseling van ervaringen, waarbij steeds wordt teruggegaan naar de theorie. De courseware bestaat uit: hand-outs, oefeningen en artikelen plus een oefenexamen.Doelgroep: informatiemanagement, medewerkers van functioneel beheer en IT-ers die de vraagzijde beter willen leren kennen.De presentaties lichten de theorie toe. Met de oefenopdrachten kunt u zich gedurende de training de stof verder eigen maken. De vragen van het oefenexamen geven inzicht in wat u op het examen kunt verwachten.Dit trainingsmateriaal sluit volledig aan op de uitgave BiSL, een framework voor business informatiemanagement, 3e editie. In deze 3e editie van het framework zijn in hoofdlijnen de volgende wijzigingen doorgevoerd ten opzichte van de vorige editie:"¢ Er is een nieuw proces beschreven: Operationele ketenafstemming.¢ De rangschikking van de processen in de sturende laag is gewijzigd.¢ Er is meer aandacht voor onderwerpen als Big data, Cloud, beveiliging en ketens.¢ Er wordt aandacht geschonken aan enkele andere frameworks, modellen en standaarden.¢ De positie en context van business informatiemanagement is duidelijker beschreven.Ten opzichte van de vorige uitgave van dit trainingsmateriaal zijn slechts op de noodzakelijke inhoudelijke punten aanpassingen doorgevoerd, waarmee de aansluiting op de nieuwe editie van het framework is geborgd. Qua opzet/opbouw, zowel van de lesstof als van de diverse opdrachten en oefeningen, is het lesmateriaal ongewijzigd gebleven.

Описание: This timely and lucid guide is intended for students and scholars working on all historical periods and topics in the humanities and social sciences-especially for those who do not think of themselves as experts in quantification, ""big data,"" or ""digital humanities.""The authors reveal quantification to be a powerful and versatile tool, applicable to a myriad of materials from the past. Their book, accessible to complete beginners, offers detailed advice and practical tips on how to build a dataset from historical sources and how to categorize it according to specific research questions. Drawing on examples from works in social, political, economic, and cultural history, the book guides readers through a wide range of methods, including sampling, cross-tabulations, statistical tests, regression, factor analysis, network analysis, sequence analysis, event history analysis, geographical information systems, text analysis, and visualization. The requirements, advantages, and pitfalls of these techniques are presented in layperson's terms, avoiding mathematical terminology.Conceived primarily for historians, the book will prove invaluable to other humanists, as well as to social scientists looking for a nontechnical introduction to quantitative methods. Covering the most recent techniques, in addition to others not often enough discussed, the book will also have much to offer to the most seasoned practitioners of quantification.
