Download or read book General Knowledge in Research For Beginners written by Dr Julius Nang Kum and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the things that can occupy the human mind positively and arouse curiousity is research. A sound research project can keep a researcher happily spellbound for years, and can also give rise to many projects which in return might initiate development, and create employment. It can equally reduce crime wave, or chase away ignorance in our youths and so on in a given society or beyond. This book therefore is an eye-opener into the research world and is based on the findings of well-known researchers, likewise those that are not known, but who have contributed positively in particular moments. The book is made up of nine chapters. Chapter one highlights Giants in the field of research such as. Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo. Bacon, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) Albert Einstein (1879-1955) and others. Chapter two suggests places from where researchers can be observed or groomed. Chapter three handles the soft skills or “who you are”, that are very necessary to succeed as a researcher. Chapter four, chapter five, chapter six, chapter seven, chapter eight and chapter nine examine hard skills or “what you should know” in order to be a research giant, (the definition of research, research paradigms, elements of research paradigms, research approaches, research designs, and research methodologies). This book is appropriate as a text for minds-building and awareness creation in the world of research. It is intended for students, teachers and youths.
Download or read book Basic Knowledge and Conditions on Knowledge written by Mark McBride and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we know what we know? In this stimulating and rigorous book, Mark McBride explores two sets of issues in contemporary epistemology: the problems that warrant transmission poses for the category of basic knowledge; and the status of conclusive reasons, sensitivity, and safety as conditions that are necessary for knowledge. To have basic knowledge is to know (have justification for) some proposition immediately, i.e., knowledge (justification) that doesn’t depend on justification for any other proposition. This book considers several puzzles that arise when you take seriously the possibility that we can have basic knowledge. McBride’s analysis draws together two vital strands in contemporary epistemology that are usually treated in isolation from each other. Additionally, its innovative arguments include a new application of the safety condition to the law. This book will be of interest to epistemologists―both professionals and students.

Download or read book The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the United States written by Fritz Machlup and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1962 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the United States marked the beginning of the study of our postindustrial information society. Austrian-born economist Fritz Machlup had focused his research on the patent system, but he came to realize that patents were simply one part of a much bigger "knowledge economy." He then expanded the scope of his work to evaluate everything from stationery and typewriters to advertising to presidential addresses--anything that involved the activity of telling anyone anything. The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the United States then revealed the new and startling shape of the U.S. economy. Machlup's cool appraisal of the data showed that the knowledge industry accounted for nearly 29 percent of the U.S. gross national product, and that 43 percent of the civilian labor force consisted of knowledge transmitters or full-time knowledge receivers. Indeed, the proportion of the labor force involved in the knowledge economy increased from 11 to 32 percent between 1900 and 1959--a monumental shift. Beyond documenting this revolution, Machlup founded the wholly new field of information economics. The transformation to a knowledge economy has resonated throughout the rest of the century, especially with the rise of the Internet. As two recent observers noted, "Information goods--from movies and music to software code and stock quotes--have supplanted industrial goods as the key drivers of world markets." Continued study of this change and its effects is testament to Fritz Machlup's pioneering work.

Download or read book Assessment of Department of Defense Basic Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-01-22 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) supports basic research to advance fundamental knowledge in fields important to national defense. Over the past six years, however, several groups have raised concern about whether the nature of DOD-funded basic research is changing. The concerns include these: Funds are being spent for research that does not fall under DOD's definition of basic research; reporting requirements have become cumbersome and onerous; and basic research is handled differently by the three services. To explore these concerns, the Congress directed DOD to request a study from the National Research Council (NRC) about the nature of basic research now being funded by the Department. Specifically the NRC was to determine if the programs in the DOD basic research portfolio are consistent with the DOD definition of basic research and with the characteristics associated with fundamental research.
