The Effects Of Prolonged And Violent Conflict On The...

Research Plan The proposed budget is  £75,000. This will cover costs and overheads associated with the design, implementation and completion of the study. Overheads will include the employment of 1 research assistant ( £25,000) and the principle researcher wage ( £25,000). The proposed timeframe is 12 months. A preliminary timescale is as followed: †¢ January - March: Research/ Design Planning †¢ April - July: Interviews †¢ August - November: Data Coding Analysis †¢ November - December: Editing Methodology Research Questions 1. What was the impact of prolonged and violent conflict on the mental health of male politically motivated (first time offender, life-sentence) prisoners and prison staff at HMP Maze, 1968-1998? (This includes the violent conflict that may have affected prisoners before coming to prison; the violent conflict that often erupted in prison; and the violent conflict that affected prison officers as a result of their occupation) 2. What does this cohort reveal about other prison populations arising from political, quasi-political or paramilitary conflict? 3. What can our research tell us about modes of adaptation to long-term imprisonment? 4. Can we develop insights into the dynamics of the staff-inmate relationship that may be relevant to the study of other closed institutions? Research Methods The proposed methodology is a primary qualitative approach of semi-structured interviews. This method has been chosen as the focus of thisShow MoreRelatedStephen P.

It is interesting to note that in Figure 1—1 most of the fastest-growing occupations percentagewise are related to information technology or health care. The increase in the technology jobs is due to the rapid increase in the use of information technology, such as databases, system design and analysis, and desktop publishing. The health care jobs are growing as a result of the aging of the U.S. population and workforce, a factor discussed later. Chapter 1 Changing Nature of Human ResourceRead MoreLogical Reasoning189930 Words   |  760 Pages.................................... 447 Exercises .......................................................................................................................................... 449 CHAPTER 14 Reasoning about Causes and Their Effects ................................................... 465 Correlations......................................................................................................................................... 465 Significant Correlations .......Read MoreRastafarian79520 Words   |  319 Pagesthe facts as we understand them from a modern, scientiï ¬ c point of view, their actions are rational in as much as they are geared toward certain goals.

The stage setting, for example, does not have the effect of creating a diegetic universe; it is only a convention within the real world. (One might add, in the same vein, that what one calls fiction in the cinema is, in fact, the diegesis, whereas in the theater the fiction exists only in the sense
