Confused by ontology & epistemology? A short guide to help you navigate this aspect of research design

Introduction

For many graduate students pursuing advanced degrees like PhDs or Master’s, the realm of philosophical paradigms, ontology, and epistemology often appears daunting and abstract. Terms like positivism, constructivism, and critical realism can seem overwhelming, especially when these concepts play a fundamental role in shaping research methodologies and approaches. This guide aims to demystify these concepts step by step, providing clarity on their definitions, significance, and implications for academic research.

Understanding Ontology and Epistemology

At the heart of research design lie two foundational concepts: ontology and epistemology. Ontology concerns itself with the nature of reality — what exists and how it exists. It indulges into questions about the fundamental nature of the world, whether objective reality exists independently of human perception, or if reality is constructed through subjective experiences. Epistemology, on the other hand, investigates the nature of knowledge — how knowledge is acquired, validated, and understood. It explores the ways researchers come to know and understand phenomena, addressing questions about the validity of different sources of knowledge and the role of perception and interpretation in knowledge production.

The Role of Philosophical Paradigms

Philosophical paradigms provide overarching frameworks that guide researchers in defining their ontological and epistemological positions and in choosing appropriate research methods and methodologies. These paradigms include:

a). Positivism: Positivism asserts that knowledge is derived from observable phenomena and empirical evidence. It emphasizes objectivity, replicability, and the use of quantitative methods to test hypotheses.

b). Interpretivism: Interpretivism posits that knowledge is socially constructed through subjective experiences and interpretations. It focuses on understanding the meanings individuals attribute to their experiences, often using qualitative methods such as interviews, observations, and textual analysis.

c). Critical Realism: Critical realism seeks to bridge the gap between positivism and interpretivism by acknowledging the existence of an objective reality that is independent of human perception but also recognizing that our understanding of this reality is mediated through our perceptions and interpretations. It advocates for the exploration of underlying structures and mechanisms that generate observable phenomena while allowing for the influence of social contexts and human agency.

d). Constructivism: Constructivism proposes that knowledge is actively constructed by individuals based on their experiences and interactions with the world. It highlights the role of social and cultural contexts in shaping knowledge and emphasizes qualitative research methods that explore subjective meanings and interpretations.

e). Post-positivism: Post-positivism acknowledges the critiques of positivism while retaining its commitment to empirical observation and scientific vigor. It introduces concepts like theory-laden observation and the acknowledgment of researcher biases, aiming to refine positivist approaches to account for the complexities of social phenomena.

Navigating Different Philosophical Positions

Each philosophical position has implications for research design, methodology, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Researchers must align their chosen paradigm with their research questions and objectives to ensure coherence and vigor in their studies. For instance:

1.Methodological Implications: Positivist research often employs quantitative methods to measure variables and test hypotheses, whereas interpretivist research favors qualitative methods to explore meanings and subjective experiences.

2. Ontological and Epistemological Assumptions: Understanding whether one believes in an objective reality (ontology) and how one believes knowledge is obtained and validated (epistemology) is crucial in selecting appropriate research methods and interpreting findings.

Advocating for Critical Realism

Critical realism emerges as a compelling philosophical stance that integrates insights from both positivism and interpretivism. It acknowledges the existence of an objective reality while recognizing that our understanding of this reality is mediated through social contexts, perceptions, and interpretations. Critical realism advocates for:

a) Causal Mechanisms: Exploring underlying structures and mechanisms that generate observable phenomena.

b) Contextual Understanding: Acknowledging the role of social contexts, historical conditions, and human agency in shaping phenomena.

c) Methodological Pluralism: Embracing a variety of research methods, both quantitative and qualitative, to capture different facets of complex social realities.

Conclusion

In conclusion, navigating philosophical paradigms, ontology, and epistemology is essential for any researcher aiming to conduct rigorous and impactful research. By understanding these foundational concepts and choosing an appropriate philosophical stance such as critical realism, researchers can enhance the depth and validity of their studies. This guide has provided a comprehensive overview of these concepts, empowering graduate students and researchers to articulate their research approaches confidently and contribute meaningfully to their fields of study.

The Power of Editing: How to Revise Your Essays Effectively

Hello, future essay champions! 📝✨ Are you ready to transform your first draft into a polished masterpiece? The power of editing is where good essays become great. Let’s dive into the essential techniques for revising your essays effectively.

Understanding the Difference: Editing vs. Proofreading

First, let’s clarify an important distinction:

Editing involves looking at the overall structure, content, and clarity of your essay. It's about ensuring your arguments are clear, your ideas flow logically, and your writing is engaging.

Proofreading is the final step where you focus on correcting grammatical errors, typos, punctuation mistakes, and formatting issues. This is the fine-tuning stage, ensuring your essay is free from small errors that could distract your readers.

Steps to Effective Editing

Take a Break: After finishing your first draft, take a step back. A break helps you return with fresh eyes.

Read Aloud: Reading your essay aloud can help you catch awkward sentences and areas where the flow is off.

Focus on Structure: Ensure your essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Each paragraph should have a single main idea that supports your thesis.

Check for Clarity and Conciseness: Make sure your ideas are expressed clearly and concisely. Avoid unnecessary words.

Strengthen Your Arguments: Ensure your points are well-supported and provide enough analysis.

Seek Feedback: Ask for feedback from peers, teachers, or tutors. An external perspective can offer valuable insights.

Steps to Effective Proofreading

Slow Down: Take your time while proofreading. Read slowly and methodically.

Use Tools: Utilize spell checkers and grammar checkers, but don’t rely on them completely.

Print It Out: Sometimes, reading a physical copy can help you catch errors you might miss on a screen.

Check for Common Errors: Look out for common mistakes such as subject-verb agreement and correct use of commas.

Read Backwards: Reading your essay backwards, sentence by sentence, can help you focus on individual sentences and catch errors.

Quiz Time!

Ready to test your knowledge on editing and proofreading? Let’s see how much you’ve learned!

Question 1: What is the difference between editing and proofreading?

A) Editing focuses on correcting grammatical errors, while proofreading improves the overall structure.

B) Editing involves big-picture changes to content and structure, while proofreading focuses on correcting minor errors.

C) Editing and proofreading are the same processes.

D) Proofreading involves reorganizing paragraphs, while editing focuses on punctuation.

Question 2: True or False: You should always edit your essay immediately after writing the first draft.

In the face of recent news about our beloved Destiny, I think it’s more important than ever for us as a community to come together and support each other in numerous ways.

It’s been a very hard week for all of us, especially those who lost their jobs and outlet for their passion in mass lay offs. Losing a position that allowed you to craft magnificent stories alongside some of the most ambitious people in the gaming industry, especially in worrying economic circumstances, must be excruciating to deal with and I wish the best for all those laid off from Bungie.

For us fans, it hurts more than anything to see the game you care so much for get put in headlines for how little that care is shared amongst the people responsible for making decisions on it. I’ve been into Destiny since it first dropped, making it the love of my life for nearly two-thirds of my whole existence , and to hear about how it’s just another product to be sold when it’s everything and more to me is just despairing. I wanted to become a writer and concept artist to create a game for others that made them feel as cared for as I did when I played Destiny and now I’m sitting here seeing all the people who helped foster that feeling be treated as another expenditure.

It’s awful, a lot of us are feeling really uninspired and betrayed at the moment, not sure we even want to see what will happen to this masterpiece of a game in the hands of the current executives. We are also dearly missing the developers, artists, writers, and more who made Destiny more than a fps looter shooter.

But it is times like these where we are torn and confused that we must uplift one another and not let the bitter taste of Bungie’s actions make us speak with hostility. This is not about decisions on whether to support Bungie or the actual game, but about refocusing on what truly makes Destiny enjoyable to so many.

Its world is immersive with care put into every story and that clearly shows in just how eager fans are to create masterpieces for it. It was never playing the game or the notoriety that kept me coming back for more, but the joy of creation I could share with others.

It stings to see a disinterest in nursing the potential of the Destiny universe from the executives with motivations other than monetary gain, but when the executives won’t care, we can. There are still employees at Bungie who adore their work and we can continue to support them by speaking up against horrible industry practices and show that we won’t abandon their efforts to make Destiny what it is.

Make ocs, write fanfictions, follow the former employees wherever they go, draw til your heart is overflowing, join Discords, roleplay, share headcanons, create aus with friends, do whatever keeps Destiny alive and flourishing for you!

Destiny will never die to me, even when it’s long forgotten and the servers shut down, because Destiny made me who I am and I intend to repay that gift an infinite amount of times over. The characters and universe will be alive and well to me until I die, regardless of the fate of the game and Bungie.

So go out and prove that Destiny’s themes of the power of community and hope are more than just morals behind a screen, that they are life changing messages that we will carry on despite hopeless news!!

Reblog charming artists, message people about ships you enjoy, leave questions and tags that contribute to conservations, write essays about what Destiny means to you!!

My messages and inbox for questions are always open if anyone would like to talk (I’m trying to get better at answering them, even if they are months late)! You are all welcome here and I want to start reblogging and liking more freely even if those things scare me sometimes!

We can decide our fates and we can decide the fate of Destiny’s presence in our lives as well! We can choose to care when others won’t and refuse to make our enjoyment debatable!! In troubling times, we should be able to reach out into the dark and find hands to hold onto tight!!

i've been thinking about that one tumblr post about how modern batman interpretations have been saturated with these films that are dark and gritty - films that, because the writers can't craft mysteries only batman could solve, make batman break the law and be violent and generally just be cops that can invade your privacy and beat you up until you confess and, more importantly, why batman should be about taking on the police and the systemic injustices done to people in gotham

i've also been thinking about that one tumblr post about how modern sherlocks have been portrayed as these emotionless monsters who are only in it for the kicks and are heartless bastards otherwise, with no regard for the consequences of their actions and again serve as a second arm of the police when in the original novelizations, sherlock was a figure who took the cases no one else would take, and listened to the people no one else would listen to

AND FINALLY i am thinking about how the knives out franchise embodies those ideals perfectly. blanc does detective work for the thrill, yes, but do you remember how gently he treated whiskey when she was crying over duke's body?? how kindly he told marta that she was a good nurse??? the glass onion focuses on the case no one else would take - because of miles' army of lawyers and pile of money - AND THE WAY HE ENABLES HELEN TO METE OUT JUSTICE ON HER OWN fdsljfdslkjdfklj and marta!! he could have shown how smart he was by pointing out the blood on her shoe in the first two minutes of the movie, but he doesn't. why?? because he doesn't just want to solve the crime, he wants to help the people!! and he intuits that marta is a good person. fjklsafd;lkjfds;jlk i could write an essay on this but im just. emotional. i love these movies so much they should keep making them

brotherly advice

pairing: professor au!sam winchester x TA! fem! reader

word count: 1.3k

summary: when breakout attorney sam winchester decided to leave his life of law to teach at his alma mater, nearly everyone in his life thought he had made a mistake. sometimes your biggest 'mistake' can lead to the happiest of consequences.

based on this request! (so sorry, I saw your request and my mind ran with this idea. it's probably not exactly the idea you had in mind.)

warnings: fluff, age gap relationship (sam is in his 30s, reader is in her 20s), au from supernatural tv show, sam and dean are still close because I refuse to believe they wouldn't be in any other universe, probably incorrect law terms/knowledge (author has little law knowledge), probably incorrect college knowledge (author was never a ta)

-

When Sam Winchester-up and coming, breakout young attorney-announced his early quits of practicing law to return to his alma mater to teach, everyone had called him crazy.

Well, almost everyone.

The day Sam decided he wanted to quit, he sat in his older brother's garage, his tie untied and the sleeves of his formal shirt rolled up his arms, nursing a beer. Sam finally spilled his well-kept secret to Dean, awaiting another disappointed look and pleas for him to rethink this. Instead, Dean nodded, took a swig of his own beer and began working underneath the hood of the car between them.

"Good for you," Dean's rough voice came after a moment. "I don't think you're making a mistake at all, Sammy. You should go for it, that job is suckin' the life outta you."

Sam knew Dean was right, Dean had always been wise in his own way. A few weeks later, Sam had settled into a life of sweater vests and headaches induced by reading half-assed international law essays from freshmen. Sam had been hunched over the desk in his office, rubbing his temples with his eyes closed when the sound of his office door opening alerted him to someone entering the room. He sighed, not even looking up before he spoke.

"Office hours are on Mondays and Thursdays."

"Um, noted, but I'm not here for office hours. I'm Y/N, your new TA? You are Professor Winchester, right?"

Sam's green eyes popped open, looking up at the figure standing in front of his desk. Y/N stood in front of Sam's desk with a wide-eyed look, and Sam took in her appearance. She was dressed in a professional manner, a folder of papers in her arms and an unconvincing smile drawn across her face. Sam swallowed thickly as he felt embarrassment wash over him, he had completely forgotten about meeting his new TA today.

"Uh, right! Of course, I-It completely slipped my mind, it's been a long day already. And please, call me Sam."

Y/N chuckled slightly, sitting in the chair in front of his desk.

"It's alright, Sam, I get it."

Over the course of the first few weeks of Sam and Y/N's newfound work relationship, Sam noted several things about her-Y/N was quiet, punctual, and completely professional. To Sam, she was too reserved, he was used to the cocky blabbing of attorneys at his old job and Dean's (mostly) nonsensical chatter in his leisure. After weeks of her sheer silence, Sam began the efforts of getting her to talk, which seemed to work in his favor. He quickly learned things about her: Y/N was a senior law student at 26-a late bloomer in the college world, her favorite movie of all time was Top Gun-which Sam made fun of her incessantly for-and her favorite guilty pleasure was the chocolate croissants at the bakery across from her apartment. Through their completely unserious chatter, he found out more personal things about her, like how she truly, truly hated law. It had been her parents idea for her college plans, not her true heart's desire. Y/N wanted to be a writer, to write her own series of fantasy books.

As the school year progressed, so did Sam and Y/N's friendship. She found herself hanging around his office more often, enjoying his company versus that of her classmates. Late office hours turned into him inviting her for dinner at the local 24-hour diner, and their dinners turned into something neither of them wanted to admit: Sam quickly found himself staring at Y/N longer than necessary, and Y/N kept imagining what it would be like to run her hands through Sam's long hair.

After Y/N's graduation from Stanford, their talks had moved to his apartment: Y/N spending hours helping him grade essays or Sam helping her proofread chapters of her own book over glasses of wine, all of which led to Y/N sleeping on Sam's couch-despite his protests and begs of her to take his bed instead. However, after a night of one-too-many glasses of wine and brushing touches of each other's hands, Y/N and Sam had ended up sharing the bed instead. Now, her fantasy novels lived on the same bookcase as Sam's textbooks, her sneakers in the door next to his much larger boots, and her weighted blanket that Sam's feet peeked out from the bottom of was draped across their bed, which is where the pair slept this very moment.

-

The sound of Sam's six AM alarm made Y/N's eyes open sleepily, realize where she was, and more notably, what time it was, before she curled back into her pillow and closed her eyes. The sound of Sam's yawning and the removal of his arm slung around her waist made her groan, feeling cold without Sam's furnace-like warmth against her. She heard Sam shuffle into the bathroom to get ready for his morning run, her eyes fluttering shut again, barely even registering the kiss he left on her forehead before he left out the door.

Y/N woke several hours later, sunlight shining through the curtains of she and Sam's bedroom, birds chirping in the distance, and the sound of Sam's footsteps sounded in the kitchen-likely cooking breakfast. Y/N stretched her arms up, lifting the covers and sliding on her slippers as she shuffled lazily into their living room. Sam's tall figure stands at the stove, flipping something in a pan. His running clothes had been traded for his leisurely lounge wear, his hair still damp from his post-run shower. She guessed he hadn't heard her come in yet, so she slowly made her way to him, wrapping her arms around his torso and resting her head on his back, still sleepy.

Sam laughs, his empty hand rested on her arms, his chest warming at her touch His voice comes out low and soft.

"Mornin', baby."

Y/N groans, still not quite awake enough for words. Sam laughs, turning off the eggs he was cooking and pulling her to his front, her head resting on his chest now. Sam kisses her head, his hand running through her unstyled hair. Silence ensues, until Y/N notes new items on their counter-a bouquet of carnations and dahlias in a vase of water, and the signature red box adorning the logo of the bakery across from her old apartment. Her head lifts to rest her chin on Sam's chest, looking up at him.

"Flowers?"

Sam's eyes swivel to the flowers in the vase before turning back to her.

"Yeah, got those from that flower cart right down the bakery, the one that elderly couple runs?"

Y/N's mind blanks, her sentence coming out without thinking.

"You bought me flowers?"

Sam gives her a confused smile, his hand tucking the hair in her face behind her ear.

"Uh, yeah?" He lets out a confused chuckle. "Baby, are you still asleep?"

Y/N looks up at him. "Why?"

Sam furrows his eyebrows, his big green eyes meeting hers.

"Does there have to be a reason? Just, saw the flowers, they were beautiful, made me think of you." Sam shrugs.

Y/N's eyes go soft, her shoulders dropping as a smile forms on her face. She stands on her tiptoes to reach Sam's lips, his hands coming on either side of her hips as he deepens the kiss.

"I love you, Sam Winchester," Y/N speaks after they break apart, the statement causing Sam to pull her in for another kiss, completely forgetting about his own breakfast in favor of enjoying her touch.

Nearly everyone had told Sam he had made the biggest mistake of his life, but now, as he looked at the woman he loved, he realized he hadn't thought anything he did was a mistake. He was glad he'd taken his brother's advice. Y/N smiled at his big green eyes and goofy smile, pulling him in for another kiss, her hand running through his hair. Sam smiled into the kiss and pulled her closer by her hips.

He'd have to thank Dean later.

Leukemia in Children

Introduction

Leukemia in children presents a formidable challenge, demanding meticulous management and treatment. This detailed discussion aims to devolve into various facets of childhood leukemia, encompassing its definition, types, causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment modalities, potential complications, preventive measures, and strategies for supporting a child living with leukemia.

Understanding Leukemia in Children

1. Definition

Leukemia is a hematological malignancy affecting the blood and bone marrow. Its prominence in childhood stems from the rapid proliferation of abnormal blood cells, disrupting the delicate balance within the body.

2. Types of Blood Cells

Understanding the roles of

Red blood cells (erythrocytes),

2.platelets (thrombocytes), and

3.white blood cells (leukocytes)

Is fundamental. An imbalance in these cells results in a spectrum of symptoms, from anemia to increased infection susceptibility.

3. Types of Leukemia

. Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL): Predominant in children.

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML): The second most common type.

Hybrid or Mixed Lineage Leukemia: A rare amalgamation of ALL and AML.

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML): Uncommon in children.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Extremely rare in pediatric cases.

Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML): A rare type with unique growth characteristics.

Causes and Risk Factors

1. Causes

The exact etiology of childhood leukemia remains elusive. Genetic mutations in bone marrow cell genes may occur sporadically or, in some instances, be inherited.

2. Risk Factors

Exposure to Radiation.

Particularly high levels.

Inherited Syndromes.

Down syndrome.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

Immune System Conditions.

Inherited disorders affecting immune function.

Family History.

Having a sibling with leukemia elevates the risk.

Symptoms of Leukemia in Children

A diverse array of symptoms underscores leukemia’s impact on children, including;

1. Procedures:

.Blood Tests (Complete Blood Count — CBC): Essential for initial assessment.

Bone Marrow Aspiration or Biopsy: Crucial in detecting leukemia cells.

Lab Tests: Precisely determine leukemia type.

Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays, ultrasound,

lymph node biopsy, and

Lumbar puncture offer a comprehensive diagnostic perspective.

2. Classification

Unlike other cancers, leukemia is not staged but rather classified into groups, subtypes, or both based on type and specific characteristics, aiding in targeted treatment approaches.

Treatment Options:

1. Primary Treatments:

Blood Transfusions: Address low blood counts, bleeding, or infections.

Chemotherapy: The mainstay, killing or inhibiting cancer cells.

Radiation Therapy: High-energy X-rays to target and eradicate cancer cells.

Targeted Therapy: Specific medications tailored to combat certain types of leukemia.

Immunotherapy: Enhances the body’s immune system to combat cancer cells.

Complications:

1. Short-term:

Serious Infections: Resulting from compromised immune function.

Severe Bleeding: A consequence of low platelet levels.

Thickened Blood: Accumulation of leukemia cells in the bloodstream.

2. Long-term:

Leukemia Recurrence: A persistent concern.

Development of Other Cancers: A potential consequence of treatment.

Heart and Lung Problems: Arising from the impact of leukemia or its treatment.

Learning Issues and Growth Delays: Impacts on cognitive development and physical growth.

Fertility Problems and Bone Issues: Osteoporosis as a potential long-term complication.

Prevention:

Preventing childhood leukemia remains challenging, with a focus on caution regarding unnecessary exposure to radiation, especially in diagnostic procedures involving pregnant women and children.

4. Follow-up Appointments:

Attending all scheduled appointments ensures continuous monitoring and timely intervention if complications arise.

When to Contact Healthcare Provider:

Prompt communication with healthcare providers is essential if the child experiences fever, worsening symptoms, new symptoms, or side effects from treatment.

Key Points Summary:

Leukemia necessitates a comprehensive approach, involving diagnosis, tailored treatment, and ongoing monitoring.

Varied symptoms demand timely medical attention for an optimal prognosis.

Treatment modalities, including chemotherapy and stem cell transplant, are tailored to the specific leukemia type.

Complications, both short-term and long-term, underscore the importance of ongoing follow-up care.

Prevention is limited, with a focus on minimizing unnecessary radiation exposure.

Comprehensive support, encompassing medical, emotional, and lifestyle aspects, is essential for the child’s well-being.

Next Steps:

1. Follow-up Care:

Continued regular check-ups and imaging tests remain integral to post-treatment monitoring.

2. Communication:

Maintaining open and transparent communication with healthcare providers ensures timely intervention if issues arise.

I channelled a 21-year-old fuckboy to write this; I can't be held responsible for what came out on the page.

Massive thanks to @bibliophiliaxvignette who put up with my unhinged ideas and worries ("would a college boy have a headboard in his room?" fuck it, he does because I needed him to) as I was writing this.

Azriel was thinking with his dick again.

And his dick, unfortunately, was the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.

His dick had gotten him into trouble many times before. There was the time he’d fallen while trying to climb out of his high school girlfriend’s window. Everyone at school knew exactly how he got that cast on his broken wrist, and he wore it with pride. 

Then there was the time he was making out with a girl at a club when the boyfriend he didn’t realize she had found them. The boyfriend–who was even bigger than Cassian—had then punched his hand into the wall where Azriel’s face had just been. He’d ducked in time and his self-preservation instincts had him ducking around the guy who was nursing his damaged hand and slipping out into the crowd, getting lost in the sea of bodies dancing. He’d practically sprinted back home in case the dude had friends chasing him. He’d texted Rhys and Cassian once he slammed the door behind him to tell them where he was and what had happened, and they returned with pizza to celebrate his face still being intact. 

And last year, he’d nearly failed an essay when the guy he’d been hooking up with and had just called it off with (gently, he’d thought) swiped his laptop and held it hostage for weeks. He’d had to send Rhys in to negotiate to get it back, and then Azriel had had to sweet-talk his prof into only taking 10% off his mark for being so late. He learned to back up to the cloud after that.

But this time, his dick had gotten him into so much trouble that he couldn’t see a way he’d be able to land on his feet or save face or have his friends swoop in to smooth things over this time. He was fucked. 

Read on AO3.

Also, it took 10 fics, but I finally met the ACOTAR fic writer requirement of using a Taylor Swift lyric as a title.

so i have to take an english course at my uni to be eligible for nursing (not sure what being able to read or write dramas or poetry has to do with being a nurse but 🤷‍♀️) and i am lowkey panicking about it

not only do i need an english, i have to do well in it too. my grades from the 10 required “pre-professional” courses are what my admission to nursing hinges on

and i am the worst writer ever. i struggle to express myself with words and honestly if there’s no inspiration then i am unable to write anything. all of my previous university essays were written either by forcing myself through an excruciating process of “i hate this but have no other option to write about” or they were written in near-manic frenzies because i had too much to say about my chosen topic. there is no in between

i have a friend with an english degree who said she’d help me through it. but she’d be most useful if i take the dramas class, but not gonna lie i’m more intrigued by the narratives. just because it would mean studying books that i tend to gravitate towards when reading. still anxious as hell about the composition part though… i truly have no desire to be a writer in any capacity lol
