The effects pets have on humans

The effects pets have on humans social, physical, mental health.  At least 10 references are cited, 3 of which must be from peer-reviewed journals. ● Follows APA style (includes spelling, grammar, bibliography) ● At least 2000 words in length The purpose/necessary learning objective of this assignment: analysis. You will be mastering scientific method in order to analyze a scientific topic. Your task is to choose a scientific topic and analyze the case study with the following necessary components labeled as “sections” in your literature review: 1. In the “Introduction” section you are to introduce the topic—specifically the hypothesis:

Hypothesis: Discuss a question that can be solved through investigation or review of current literature (This is not your original research.) You must state the question in the form of a hypothesis. You can choose any topic that is in the realm of scientific peer-reviewed literature. Topics can also be from interdisciplinary peer-reviewed sources. ● Objectives: List objectives that you will address within your literature review. This means that you will map out all of the avenues that you will cover within the subsequent sections and list exactly in what sections you will cover them. These objectives are schematically provided for you in what follows.

However, don’t just state: I will talk about the ‘methods’. State, very compactly, 2.a-e. The difficulty in these types of projects is how to express something precisely. 2. In the “Methods” section you are to describe your search process and the rational/criterion for selection of references for inclusion. This means that you will: ● Information Sources: Describe the processes/search engines that you used to search your topic (e.g., google scholar, open source catalogues, databases etc.). ● Source types: Describe the particular sources that you are searching (e.g. books, journals, secondary literature etc.)

Revisions: Related to “a” and “b”, describe how you formulated your search (e.g. keywords, filters, etc.); and, more importantly, how you revised your search along the way after encountering potential limitations. ● Criterion: Describe the search criterion you used. ● Method of inclusion/exclusion: Describe how you limited the search as well as how certain sources were included and why others were excluded. Here, it is important to address what articles and authors could have been excluded and why. I encourage you to be as inclusive as possible in your search. Academia itself has many systemic biases that need to be uncovered and changed.

Certain research projects do not receive funding based on these system biases. Point out these biases and describe how you sought out sources that addressed the biases. Remember, I’m not looking for the right answer on some research project, rather, I’m looking for how you analyze and navigate; and part of that is understanding the inherent biases in certain journals. 3. In the “Results” section you are to synthesize/amalgamate the evidence for the hypothesis by structuring the following: ● Synthesis of information: Synthesize, structure, and analytically summarize the content of reviewed literature.

That is, how can we combine all of the various analyses from various sources into one cohesive story? You will have to develop the narrative for that story by organizing the various sources of information and then tracing the story through the sources. I’d recommend attempting to find common variables or parameters between your sources. That is, study 1 and study 2 both focus on Alzheimer oligomer formation and produce the same results, even though the methods differ in the following respect. Here, ‘oligomer formation’ is the variable, the similarity of result is the value of the variable, and the different methods are the experimental or lab setups that are behind the results. https://youtu.be/KNM5_lO1dOA
