Elemental characterization of electronic waste: a review of research methodologies and applicability to the practice of e-waste recycling

Economic and environmental considerations have elucidated research interests on the best approach to managing electronic waste (e-waste), which has increasing social, environmental, and economic impacts. Proper e-waste managementis essential for resource recovery, environmental sustainability, and public health protection, and effective management of e-waste necessitates analytical techniques to assess and characterize their elemental composition. Despite expansive literature published on the topic of e-waste, there is scarce coverage of the various analytical techniques employed to characterize the inorganic contents of e-waste. This review discusses the various e-waste characterization techniques used in studies published between 2013 and 2023. Specifically, this review covers the analytical approaches employed to characterize the inorganic content of e-waste, the electronic devices or their components analyzed, the elements identified, the sample preparation methods adopted, and the merits and demerits of the analytical procedures. This review highlights the disparate approaches to e-waste characterization and the need for reliable and repeatable e-waste analysis and sample preparation methods.

A REVIEW OF METHODOLOGIES AND METHODS IN LINGUISTIC RESEARCH: DIACHRONIC AND SYNCHRONIC APPROACHES

This review of research methodologies and methods in linguistic science has a dual focus. Firstly, the paper provides some essential historical background to the development of the scientific study of language in general and individual languages, including contemporary linguistic inquiry. Secondly, the review attempts to outline the division of labour between linguistic disciplines and models, their respective research methodologies and methods. By including both diachronic and synchronic aspects of linguistic inquiry, the review aims to provide an analyst with a few preliminaries that can be used to situate a linguistic issue in the complex landscape of linguistic theories and research methodologies.

Qualitative Research Gains Equality: A Review of Research Methodology: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

In this book review of Kumar’s 2011 edition of Research Methodology: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners, I provide a summary of the book’s main content and a critical review of its content and structure including both the strengths and weaknesses. I conclude that this new edition of the book with Kumar presenting qualitative research as an equal methodology to quantitative research is an appropriate resource for students who are just starting to learn how to conduct empirical research studies. Two suggestions are provided for its future edition: (a) more classic resources about research methodology; and (b) more discussions about IRB application.

EHealth and Health Literacy: A Research Methodology Review

The development of e-health may provide powerful tools to improve health, but users' health literacy plays a role in their ability to make the most of e-health applications. This study reviewed research focused on e-health and health literacy, using content analysis to assess 95 articles from 2000 to 2010 to provide an overview of work done in this emerging field. Articles were coded for use of theory, research methods, and clarity of reporting study results. Findings indicate a lack of theory-driven design and evaluation of e-health applications, low use of established general health literacy measures, and interdisciplinary work with somewhat limited contributions by communication scholars. Implications for advancing this field of research are discussed.

The collection and analysis of job advertisements: A review of research methodology

An increasing number of research studies in LIS use job adverts as a data source to analyse and track changes to job skills and the employment market over time. This review of 70 research studies in LIS aims to provide an overview of key characteristics of existing research methods, and to suggest improvements which could be made to methods. The researcher analysed different aspects of each study using a quantitative approach, and noted salient features of each study’s methodology. The review found that studies of job adverts in LIS are characterised by: large sample sizes often collected using purposive sampling; a lack of full pilot studies and ethical assessments; minimal use of inferential statistics and automatic text analysis; and minimal use of complementary empirical methods. Studies of job adverts could be improved by: fuller preparation of research methods, more sophisticated methods of analysis, and greater use of secondary empirical methods.

Involving children in educational research: researcher reflections on challenges

Since the 1990s, childhood researchers have become increasingly creative in their efforts to understand children's experiences in as authentic a way as possible. This article draws on a review of research methodologies across a range of projects involving 0–13 year-old children and reports on interviews with researchers which revealed real-life responses to issues identified in the literature review: taking children seriously as research participants; the messiness of research with children; investing necessary time and resources; and respectful practices with children and communities including in disseminating research findings. We present researcher reflections on these issues and conclude by arguing for a methodological ‘fitness for purpose’ in research with children.

A Review of Research Methodologies in PrivateEquity: 2005–2011

The field of private equity is still very young, and research on the topic is in its infancy. Despite a considerable amount of research in the recent past, so far, there has been no review of research methodology in the field of private equity. This article examines the state of private equity research in the last seven years from the standpoint of existing methodologies. The state of research is assessed by examining the body of literature for research design, research topics, strategies, number of hypothesis testing studies, research methods, data analysis techniques, data sources, regions of focus, and countries of authors. Based on the results of this review, the article provides reflections on the evolution of private equity research over the last seven years and discusses opportunities for future research. <b>TOPICS:</b>Private equity, quantitative methods, performance measurement

Progress in Enzymatic Membrane Bioreactor: A Review of Research Methodology and Reaction Characteristic

The enzymatic membrane bioreactor (EMB), which is a combination of a membrane separation process and an enzymatic reaction, is increasingly applied in food and agriculture fields. This article reviews the previous literatures of this topic, and particularly focuses on mathemaitc models which simulate the EMB system behavior and factors restricting EMB performances. The article consists of three parts. The first sector discusses mathematic models of EMB which are mostly derived from Michaelis-Menten equation, Fick’s diffusion law, chemical equilibrium and material balance, and affecting factors whose interactions are revealed by response surface methodology, in order to optimize the parameters of EMB. The second section summarizes the reaction characters of EMB. Finally, the future research areas of EMB are proposed.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Mobile handheld devices are increasingly being used in education. In this paper, we undertook a review of empirical based articles to summarise the current research regarding the use of mobile handheld devices (personal digital assistants/PDAs, palmtops, and mobile phones) in K-12 and higher education settings. This review was guided by the following four questions: (a) How are mobile handheld devices such as PDAs, palmtops, and mobile phones used by students and teachers? (b) What types of research methods have been applied using such devices? (c) What data collection methods are used in the research? and (d) What research topics have been conducted on these handheld devices in education settings, as well as their related findings? We summarise and discuss some major findings from the research, as well as several limitations of previous empirical studies. We conclude by providing some recommendations for future research related to mobile handheld devices in education settings.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

A review of research methodologies in international business

What is common practice in international business (IB) research methodology? To address this question, we surveyed 1,296 empirical articles published in six leading international business journals from 1992 to 2003. The study uncovers state-of-the-art approaches in research methodologies in IB in terms of five major aspects: data collection methods, sample sources including sampled countries and subjects, sampling methods, sample sizes, and response rates. The results indicate that (1) mail questionnaire surveys dominate empirical research, (2) 60.9% of the studies use a one-country sample (88.9% from western countries), (3) 33.7% of the studies are based upon sample frames provided by third parties, and (4) the median sample size is 180 with an average response rate of 40.1%. Suggestions and recommendations are also provided to improve the methodological rigor of IB research.

Functional Lateralization of the Brain

Research concerning the lateralization of human brain functions is examined in light of the recent publication of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC). Following a review of research methodologies and functions ascribed to the hemispheres of the brain, differences are portrayed as complementary and coexisting modes of cognitive processing. Referred to by various terms, these dual modes of thought are seen to correspond to the simultaneous-sequential distinction offered as the theoretical underpinnings of the mental processing scales of the K-ABC.

A review of research methodology in an emergency medicine journal

All original articles published in JACEP and Annals of Emergency Medicine in 1972, 1975, 1978, and 1981 were reviewed and classified according to type of article, research design, specific methods utilized, and statistical analyses employed. The number of articles published annually increased during the 10-year period, from 34 in 1972 to 131 in 1981. The percentage of articles devoted to clinical research, basic science, animal studies, and health services research also increased: 1972, 8.8%; 1975, 39.6%; 1978, 41.2%; and 1981, 51.1%. In 1972, only two studies had defined research designs. In 1981, 47 studies had the following research designs: case control, 9; cohort, 9; cross-sectional, 13; uncontrolled clinical trial, 3; non-random clinical trial, 7; and randomized clinical trial, 6. Research methodologies were defined in only two studies published in 1972, but increased in each of the years reviewed to 41 in 1978. The most common methodology was the use of diagnostic categories. In 1972, statistical analysis was limited to descriptive enumeration and was included in only three articles. In 1981, 62 articles contained statistical analyses, including chi square in 11; t test in 6; Fischer's exact test in 2; ANOVA in 4; and P value (method not stated) in 10. This study reveals a major increase in both the quality and quantity of emergency medicine research published during the 10-year period reviewed.
