Overview of assignment

Developing and Managing Your Research Project

Whatever topic you are writing about, there are similarities between everyone’s projects. For instance, the essay you submit will consist of an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion, and requires extensive research, critical analysis of sources, and a clear argument that contextualises your research within the context of existing historiography. Similarly, while we all work differently and develop our own techniques, there are several key stages in a research project that we all need to complete.

Developing your research questions:

By now you should all have decided on a broad topic or research area and are in the process of conducting some preliminary research and consulting with your supervisor in order to develop a clearer idea of the approach you will take with your project. A helpful way to do this is to develop a clear set of research questions, often beginning with one central question and then a set of follow up questions. This will often take the form of an initial broad question (eg Why did the US intervene in Vietnam?) and then a series of more specific and detailed questions (eg how do we define intervention? How important was presidential leadership? etc) that will allow you to both develop a more focused project and to begin thinking about how you will structure the final essay.

You should also be thinking about methodology. One aspect of this is to consider if there are particular methods or perspectives you are interested in exploring – eg are you particularly interested in economic issues? Gender? Media? Popular culture? Military strategy?

It is also important to consider the types of sources you will use. If you are planning an essay with a historiographical focus have you selected a topic with enough written on it to enable you to answer your research questions? If you are planning to use primary sources, what types of sources might allow you answer your research questions? Are they available and accessible? If not, are there other angles from which to approach your topic? These are questions that your supervisor can help you with.

Gathering and processing your sources:

You will spend a substantial amount of time identifying and locating relevant sources, both secondary and primary, that will enable you to answer your research questions. Reading your sources efficiently, taking good notes, and developing your ideas takes a long time and is made easier by effective planning. Consider developing a note- taking grid that enables you to keep track of the key information and arguments provided by different sources (there is an example available on the module blackboard page) and spending some time organising folders and documents to make sure your notes are well organised.

This is an individual assignment and is worth 100% of the total marks available for this module.

Task

You are to assume the role of an external consultant for your assigned sector* (see individual allocation of sector on Blackboard). You will need to research thoroughly the adoption of social media within your allocated field in order to determine how it has transformed the way organisations within your sector interact with their stakeholders, that is, their employees, partners, customers/clients, suppliers and other parties. Your report can include a comparison between three to four different companies in your allocated sector.

The result of your research will be a consultancy report that investigates the adoption and use of social media and social networks in your allocated sector and recommends a comprehensive social media strategy.

Your report should include a critical and an in-depth literature review on the adoption and existing use of social digital technologies in your sector. Your research should include a wide variety of social media technologies and their application, or potential application in your sector. The report should identify the business drivers involved in the adoption/use of social media platforms; explore their benefits and opportunities; outline potential obstacles and adoption issues, both internally and externally; cover impact analysis and explore metrics and their implementation; provide supporting evidence and justification, including audience needs, innovation issues and the role of user generated content.

Assessment Requirements

How can companies maintain supply chains during pandemics?

Impact of COVID-19 on the UK Supply Chain: A Critique of Agile Framework

Introduction

Research Background

Like other major economies, the UK’s supply chain has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing companies to resort to different frameworks to counter the impact. Adopting an agile framework in the supply chain is founded on the need to shorten lead time and enhance companies’ competitiveness. According to Alzoubi et al. (2021), the agile framework incorporates critical aspects of continuity and integration with other applicable solutions to add value to the customer and improve the overall dependability of a supply chain. However, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the global and local supply chains. Initial reports indicated that the impact of the pandemic on businesses in the supply chain sector was indefinite, meaning companies will need much time to resume their pre-COVID-19 supply chains (Magableh, 2021).

Notably, there are concerns about the effectiveness of the agile framework in supply chains during unforeseen events in the magnitude of COVID-19. Contrary to an agile framework, a complex framework is flexible, allowing to absorb the shocks of unforeseen incidents that would otherwise disrupt supply chains. Similarly, Sinha, Bagodi, and Dey (2020) point that companies need to expand their supply chain frameworks to adopt dynamic models ideal for responding to different macro-environment factors like epidemics. Therefore, there is a need for considering new evidence and solutions for supply chains to counter the agile framework.

Research Questions

1. What are the challenges of the agile framework in uncertain situations?
2. How can companies maintain supply chains during pandemics?

Research Aim and Objectives

The proposed study aims to establish new solutions to supply chain management for improved efficiency and continuity. The following objectives will guide the researcher in meeting the research aim:

1. To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chain.
2. To identify the most sustainable framework in supporting the supply chain during pandemics.
3. To establish trends in supply chain management following the COVID-19 pandemic

Using the A-E approach identify the nursing priorities for Raymond’s care whilst he is in the clinic.

Raymond is a 16-year-old student who attends the GP surgery at 9am to see the diabetic nurse accompanied by his mother Alice. Raymond has type-one diabetes which was diagnosed when he was three and this has been poorly controlled recently.

Raymond is studying A-Levels at a local college and is keen to go on to university and study engineering. He likes socialising with friends and finds the restrictions imposed by his condition very difficult. Alice is worried because Raymond’s college work has been deteriorating and she is worried that he will not get the grades he needs to go on to further study.

Raymond appears quite drowsy and is complaining of thirst and keeps asking for a cup of water. Alice tells you that he never seems to be out of the loo.

OBSERVATIONS TAKEN IN CLINIC

AIRWAY: Raymond can talk in full sentences.

BREATHING: RR 30 breathing appears deep and laboured and his breath carried a slight smell of nail polish remover. SpO2 95% on air.

CIRCULATION: HR 100bpm, BP 98/50mmHg.

DISABILITY: AVPU: Alert but drowsy and rather distressed. Blood glucose just reads as HIGH on the Practice Monitor.

EXPOSURE: Temperature 36.2C, no wounds visible, no IV access, Raymond appears quite drawn and has reduced tissue turgor.

Problem 1:

Using the A-E approach identify the nursing priorities for Raymond’s care whilst he is in the clinic.

– Consider both his current presentation and the potential for any further deterioration and how this could be managed.

– Treat Raymond as a whole person, considering everything we know about him and not just his presenting condition.

Problem 2: Provide a rationale for the care you have suggested in Problem 1

– Use the pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus and an understanding of Raymond’s overall condition.

– Remember to refer to relevant pharmacology

– Refer to appropriate national guidelines

Developing Scenario

A urine specimen taken at the surgery is positive for ketones. Raymond vomits whilst in the clinic and the nurse immediately calls for an ambulance to take Raymond to A&E. On arrival Raymond’s condition has deteriorated and he is barely conscious.

Problem 3:

Discuss the management of Raymond once her arrives at Hospital.

• Consider any further evidence-based tests and treatment that may be required.
• Any special considerations related to Raymond’s age.
• Ongoing support that can be available to Raymond and his family to help him manage his condition.

What evidence-based treatment options may be employed to maintain Joel whilst he is in the ICU.

Joel is a 72 year-old retired architect. He continues to work informally as a consultant on some projects in addition to having had a number of books of poetry published in recent years. Joel has been married to Sylvia for 49 years, and they have been planning a cruise to celebrate their golden wedding next year. They have four grown up children, and nine grandchildren, who they see regularly and often assist their parents by providing child care. In addition, Joel and Sylvia also care for Sylvia’s 94 year-old mother who is increasingly frail.

Joel attended the practice nurse at his GP surgery with a painful and inflamed injury to his left fore-arm sustained whilst clearing his garden shed last week, he believes he caught it on a rusty bow saw that was hanging on the shed wall. Concerned about the state of the wound and his observations the nurse called an ambulance for Joel to be transferred to the accident and emergency unit for potential admission.

Joel has mild osteoarthritis for which he takes over-the-counter NSAIDs and is prescribed Ramipril 5mg od for hypertension. Joel was a heavy smoker until giving up twenty years ago.

OBSERVATIONS ON ARRIVAL AT ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY

AIRWAY: Unable to talk in full sentences as needs to catch his breath.

BREATHING: RR: 28pm, SpO2 93% on air. Some sounds of gurgling as he breathes.

CIRCULATION: HR: 112bpm, regular but thready, BP: 72/58 – Joel complains of feeling dizzy. Joel seems to think he has been passing less urine in the last couple of days.

DISABILITY: AVPU: Alert but seems a little muddled and shows signs of slurred speech

EXPOSURE: Temperature: 38.4C. Joel has an inflamed wound on his left arm and his skin feels clammy to the touch. Joel also admits to feeling nauseous.

Blood Results:

Sodium 142mmol/L

Potassium 5.1mmol/L

Urea 39 mmol/L

Creatinine 259 µmol/L

FBC Hb 100.2g/L, WCC 16.2×10⁹/L

Lactate 4.1mmol/L

CRP 136mg/L

Problem 1:

Using the A-E approach what are the nursing priorities for Joel’s immediate care including any further tests that may be required?

Problem 2:

Provide the rationale for the care you have suggested in problem 1 .

• Make use of appropriate pathophysiology
• Include relevant pharmacology
• Use appropriate national guidelines.

Developing Scenario

After three days on the ward Joel’s condition has deteriorated and he is now confirmed as having stage 3 acute kidney injury (AKI) with serum creatinine of 403µmol/L and no urine output for 18 hours. He needs renal replacement therapy.

Problem 3: What evidence-based treatment options may be employed to maintain Joel whilst he is in the ICU. Assuming Joel recovers from this acute episode discuss the ongoing care he may need to help him rehabilitate and in relation to the management of potential ongoing chronic kidney disease, including any multi-disciplinary team involvement.
