Through innovative infrastructure design and by changing how we live, humans are becoming more attuned to nonhuman animals and are making efforts to live alongside them.Examining sites of loss, temporal orientations, and infrastructural mitigations, Nestwork blends rhetorical and posthuman sensibilities in service of ecological care. In this innovative ethnographic study, rhetorician Jennifer Clary-Lemon examines human-nonhuman animal interactions, identifying forms of communication between species and within their material world. Looking in particular at nonhuman species that depend on human development for their habitat, Clary-Lemon examines the cases of the barn swallow, chimney swift, and bobolink. She studies their habitats along with the unique mitigation efforts taken by humans to maintain those habitats, including building "barn swallow gazebos" and artificial chimneys and altering farming practices to allow for nesting and breeding. What she reveals are fascinating forms of rhetoric not expressed through language but circulating between species and materials objects.Nestwork explores what are in essence nonlinguistic and decidedly nonhuman arguments within these local environments. Drawing on new materialist and Indigenous ontologies, the book helps attune our senses to the tragedy of species decline and to a new understanding of home and homemaking.RSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric SeriesBirdsNestsHuman-animal relationshipsBird declinesRhetoricBarn swallowChimney swiftBobolinkAnthropocene.Endangered Species.Environmental Rhetoric.Ontario:Canada.Posthumanism.Rhetoric.artificial chimneys.barn swallow gazebos.barn swallow.bobolink.chimney swift.farming practices.habitat mitgation.human-nonhuman interactions.BirdsNests.Human-animal relationships.Bird declines.Rhetoric.Barn swallow.Chimney swift.Bobolink.598.156/4Clary-Lemon Jenniferauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1430418DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910739490603321Nestwork3570135UNINA04238nam 22005295 450 991100736660332120250714183210.03-031-91431-710.1007/978-3-031-91431-7(CKB)39124550800041(DE-He213)978-3-031-91431-7(MiAaPQ)EBC32129706(Au-PeEL)EBL32129706(EXLCZ)993912455080004120250523d2025 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe art and science of quantitative research /by Alaba Ayotunde Fadele, Alvaro RochaFirst edition.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,[2025]1 online resource (ix, 188 pages) illustrations (some color)Studies in systems, decision and control,2198-4190 ;5993-031-91430-9 Chapter 1: Introduction to the Key Features of Quantitative Research -- Chapter 2: Quantitative Research Sampling Techniques -- Chapter 3: Data Collection Methods for Quantitative Research -- Chapter 4: Observational Data Collection for Quantitative Research -- Chapter 5: Quantitative Research Measurements Classifications -- Chapter 6: Quantitative Research Data Preparation and Cleaning Process -- Chapter 7: Conclusion and Future Research.This book reflects on the insights gained from exploring the key dimensions of quantitative research as outlined in the preceding chapters. Quantitative research, with its emphasis on objectivity, systematic methodologies, and statistical rigor, plays a pivotal role in advancing knowledge across diverse fields. The study began with an introduction to its foundational principles, highlighting its distinct characteristics and relevance. Key conclusions drawn from each chapter are summarized below: In the first chapter, a basic knowledge of quantitative research was presented, with an emphasis on the methodical and organized approach that quantitative research takes to the study of observable events. Quantitative research differs from qualitative research in that it focuses on numerical data, statistical analysis, and objective findings, as opposed to qualitative research, which investigates subjective experiences and meanings. This contrast highlights the crucial role that quantitative approaches play in hypothesis testing and predictive analysis, which makes them very beneficial for academic subjects that need empirical data and findings that can be replicated from experiment to experiment. In the next chapter, we delved further into the fundamental aspects of quantitative research, including its dependence on organized instruments (such as surveys and experiments), the significance of operationalizing variables, and the pursuit of results that can be generalized. When it comes to answering problems that need accuracy, scalability, and statistical validity, quantitative research is an indispensable tool because of these inherent characteristics. At the same time, the chapter brought attention to the attitude of the researcher, which includes taking an objective perspective, reducing prejudice, and adhering to ethical norms. This frame of mind is very necessary in order to guarantee the honesty and dependability of the findings of the investigation. .Studies in systems, decision and control ;2198-4190 ;599Quantitative researchMethodologyQuantitative researchResearch Design(DNLM)D012107Empirical Research(DNLM)D036262Quantitative researchMethodology.Quantitative research.Research Design.Empirical Research.006.3Fadele Alaba Ayotundeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1823193Rocha Álvaroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911007366603321The Art and Science of Quantitative Research4389741UNINA
