For students applying to remain on the PhD register and complete a PhD, the recommendation of the shall be as follows: (a) remain on the PhD register, (b) remain on the PhD register, subject to some minor changes being made to the transfer report, (c) continuation on the PhD register not recommended at this time; a new report to be written and interview to be held, (d) transfer to the Masters register to complete a Masters thesis, or (e) not to continue as a research student. Research ethics Research students should ensure that they follow appropriate standards of research ethics. Ethical practice is not a uniform set of 'dos and don'ts', but, rather, an evolving set of understandings which varies according to research area, research method, and the ethical perspectives of the individuals involved. The School maintains information on ethical research, as well as details of procedures to be followed in order to gain approval for research involving human subjects. Additional information and application forms for ethics approval are available from the School website at http://www.tcd.ie/slscs/research/ethics. Further information on application procedures is available from Prof. Pauline Sloane, who can be contacted at psloane@tcd.ie. The Dean of Research also maintains documentation on general principles of research ethics in College, which can be accessed at http://www.tcd.ie/research/dean/. The Director of Research in

Diversity of Fishes: Table 2 revels that about three dozen Fish varieties are found in the mongra barrage, a fresh water man- made reservoir. All these varieties have been grouped into four categories viz, abundance common, moderate and rare, based on the local fishermen’s netting observations. Of the four categories, the category of common species found in the barrage covers the largest share of 39.39%, i.e. two- fifths. The abundance category occupies the second position with 24.24%, which is closely followed by the rare category. Surprisingly, the least number of species are seen in the moderate category. So far as the diversity of fish is concerned, table 2 amply demonstrates that mongra Barrage is rich in fish diversity. This diversity is more pronounced in terms of order of species in the rare category, while it is least diversified in the abundance category. Diversity of fish in terms of family more or less follows the similar pattern. – 2 Mongra Barrage: Diversity of Fishes S.

Melbourne’s residential boom continues with unprecedented numbers of town house and apartment developments Melbourne’s housing boom Within the last decade, Melbourne has experienced a residential building boom and an unprecedented shift in the types of dwellings being built. This shift has happened quickly and shows no sign of slowing. Until about 2007, Melbourne’s residential construction industry was fairly predictable. Detached houses in growth areas and largely on remnant broadhectare lots in outer suburbs made up about two thirds of about 30,000 dwellings approved each year. There was a smaller steady supply of small blocks of flats and townhouses in the middle and outer suburbs, and a similar volume of supply – although a more volatile one – of high rise apartments, almost entirely confined to the CBD, Docklands and Southbank (figure 1). Figure 1: Annual number of building approvals by selected dwelling type and location, Melbourne 2001-2007 Source: ABS Building Approvals, cat. no. 8731.0 Residential development after 2008 In 2008, approvals started increasing and accelerated to reach a record high of 45,000 approvals in 2010. This was driven by a boom in growth area supply and growth in the number of apartments (largely high-rise, high density) being approved in the central city. Since 2010 apartment development has spread beyond the central city to increasing numbers of middle ring suburbs. The year 2014 saw a new approvals record which was almost entirely due to the approval of medium- to high-rise apartments in inner and middle suburbs and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of small blocks of flats and townhouses in the middle and outer suburbs. In 2014, the number of dwellings approved in small infill developments was more than double the average of the early 2000s and made up 20 per cent of all approvals (figure 2). Since 2010 growth-area approvals have slowed but still make up a substantial proportion of Melbourne’s new housing.

Over the past 25 years, strategic planning has provided the preconditions for Laverton North to
variables so they are useful when manipulation is practically or ethically impossible. two variables under investigation (only the relationship). Variables have to be quantified to be measured and this can affect the construct validity of the findings. TASK A psychologist was interested to find out if there was a relationship between intelligence score and watching TV. He conducted some research into this and his findings are given in the table below. A table to show the number of hours spent watching TV and intelligence score for 8 participants. Participant spent watching TV Intelligence score 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 30 15 25 28 30 14 20 10 100 125 110 105 105 140 115 150 Questions Sketch a graph of this data, labelling the axis and include a title.

3. Getting out – this has to be done without damaging the or relationships but with enough detachment to write an accurate and impartial account. There is also the risk of a reprisal against the researcher if the research was covert or involved illegal activities Examples of participant observation: 1. James Patrick, A Glasgow Gang Observed (1973) – covertly studied a violent and delinquent teenage gang for four months. 2. William Foote Whyte, Street Corner Society (1955) – a study of an Italian-American street corner gang in Boston that lasted over three and a half years. Whyte lived with the gang and even participated in illegal activity.  Gain first-hand knowledge of the group being studied  is less of a chance of misleading the researcher therefore results could be more valid  Positivists could question the validity and reliability as they question how the results could be checked  is a risk that the researcher could become too loyal and involved with the group that they begin to see the world only as those being researched do. Non-participant Observation This method allows people to be observed in their normal social situations and avoids the risk of researcher influence (the Hawthorne effect.) Researchers can observe from the background, through one way glass or the use of video clips. The researchers do not make themselves known reducing the risk of them influencing the result but meaning that they are not able to probe further into the meaning people attach to their behaviours. This means that the results are more likely to reflect the assumptions and interpretations of the researcher rather than of those being researched.
