An ethnomethodologically-informed study of interaction in the MOOC by Zawilska, A

“…I find it can be difficult to learn how to undertake an ethnomethodologically-informed study. However, as I show in the thesis, this approach brings to the fore some of the rich seen-but-unnoticed ways participants accomplish social interaction, which other automated methods are not designed to do.…”

Subjects:

'It's not over when it's over': persistent neurobiological abnormalities in recovered depressed patients. by Bhagwagar, Z, Cowen, P

“…These abnormalities encompass a number of neurochemical and neuropsychological mechanisms that could be relevant to recurrence, including changes in the availability of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptor subtypes, decreases in cortical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), increases in cortisol secretion and negative biases in the processing of emotional information. Studies of groups at high risk of depression before illness onset will help to clarify which biological abnormalities precede the development of depression and which are the product of recurrent illness. …”

Physiotherapist-delivered cognitive behavioural interventions are effective for low back pain, but can they be replicated in clinical practice? A systematic review by Hall, A, Richmond, H, Copsey, B, Hansen, Z, Williamson, E, Jones, G, Cooper, Z, Lamb, S

“…Sufficient information was provided on dose, setting and provider; but not content and procedural information. Studies tended to report the type of CB component used (e.g. challenging unhelpful thoughts) with little detail on how it was operationalised. …”

‘Informed’, ‘active’ and ‘engaged’? Understanding and enacting information literacy from a UK citizenship perspective by Cloudesley, SP

“…Information literacy (IL) has been considered by Library and Information Studies (LIS) research and praxis to be vital in helping citizens be ‘informed’, ‘active’ and ‘engaged’ within society. …”

Examining attention given to threats to elephant conservation on social media by Hammond, N, Dickman, A, Biggs, D

“…Although social media is growing rapidly as a news source, including for disseminating conservation information, studies comparing attention given to differing threats to species on social media are almost non-existent. …”

Peacekeeping, Development, and Counterinsurgency: THE UNITED NATIONS INTERIM FORCE IN LEBANON AND “QUICK IMPACT PROJECTS” by Kassem, S

“…This is a landmark book—a close and informed study of the UN in the region that taught the organization how to do its many jobs.…”

Letter to the editor: re: Are biochemical markers of bone turnover representative of bone histomorphometry in 370 postmenopausal women? by Reeve, J

“…The results of the informative study of Chavassieux et al (1) are especially interesting more for the uncertainty they raise about the optimum interpretation of the biochemical markers studied than about how representative the iliac biopsy indices are of bone turnover in other parts of the skeleton.…”

Revolution and the whip of reaction: technicians of power and the dialectic of radicalisation by Mulholland, M

“…This article argues that sociologically informed studies of revolution tend to underestimate the importance of counter-revolution and ‘reaction’ in generating radicalisation. …”

Bioeconomy and migrants’ lives in Libya by Achtnich, M

“…Moving beyond the Foucauldian biopolitics that often inform studies of migration, security, and the state, ethnographic attention to value generation and extraction in the borderlands foregrounds economic relations as sets of intersecting practices in which mobile life and its disposability constitute a vital thread.…”

STARD 2015 guidelines for reporting diagnostic accuracy studies: Explanation and elaboration by Cohen, J, Korevaar, D, Altman, D, Bruns, D, Gatsonis, C, Hooft, L, Irwig, L, Levine, D, Reitsma, J, De Vet, H, Bossuyt, P

“…Through commented examples of appropriate reporting, we clarify the rationale for each of the 30 items on the STARD 2015 checklist, and describe what is expected from authors in developing sufficiently informative study reports.…”

Utilising a POPC (Psychological, Organisational, Philosophical, Cultural) methodology to better understand the phenomena of knowledge transfer in a third sector organisation by Fascia, M

“…To date, there have been numerous valuable and informative studies which examine the significance of knowledge and knowledge transfer (Mitton et al. 2007) in a healthcare environment, most notably a review of health sector and generic management literature (Crilly et al. 2010). …”

The role of religious experience in the knowledge transfer process by Fascia, M

“… The importance given to knowledge in relation to business success has never been so great as it is today and there is a substantive amount of important and informed studies reflecting this. Nonetheless, informed approaches by prominent authors generally focus on knowledge transfer mechanisms and the efficiency of these mechanisms to support and deliver competitive advantage (Nonaka, 1994; Grant, 1996; Argote and Ingram, 2000; Alavi and Leidner, 2001). …”

Negotiating jurisdictional boundaries in response to new genetic possibilities in breast cancer care: The creation of an ‘oncogenetic taskscape’ by Wright, S, Porteous, M, Stirling, D, Young, O, Gourley, C, Hallowell, N

“…Forming part of an ethnographically informed study of patient and practitioner experiences of TFGT at a UK teaching hospital, this paper focuses on the impact of a proposal to pilot a mainstreamed TFGT pathway on healthcare professionals' negotiations of professional jurisdiction. …”

“It becomes more of an abstract idea, this privacy” – informing the design for communal privacy experiences in smart homes by Kraemer, MJ, Chalhoub, G, Webb, H, Flechais, I

“…The paper presents a grounded analysis based on a synergistic relationship between an ethnomethodologically-informed (EM-informed) study and a grounded theory (GT) approach. The study focuses on household members’ interactions to show that household members’ ability to coordinate the everyday use of their devices depends on appropriate conceptualizations of roles, rules, and privacy that are fundamentally different from those embodied by off-the-shelf products. …”

The costs of close contacts: visualizing the energy landscape of cell contacts at the nanoscale by Kulenkampff, K, Lippert, AH, McColl, J, Santos, AF, Ponjavic, A, Jenkins, E, Humphrey, J, Winkel, A, Franze, K, Lee, SF, Davis, SJ, Klenerman, D

“…Finally, we emphasize the importance of theoretical approaches for informing study design and argue that synthetic control methods are not always well suited for generating a counterfactual that minimizes critical threats to interrupted time series studies. …”
