    Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces

    No full text
    The term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement

    TINA-C Deliverable

    : This document specifies basic seperations used in the control and management of TINA Network Resource functions. A reusable group of technology independent components is described to perform these functions. The work is part of the TINA-C specification effort and as such an element in the TINA-C architecture. This document is intended to replace the 1994 Connection Management Architecture Baseline. Keywords: Network Resource, Connection Management, Open Distributed Processing, Telecommunication Management Network, Managed Objects, G.803 Functional Architecture.

    Who says it's still a man's world?: questioning the myth of male privilege in America

    No full text
    Women in our American society today claim they must continue their fight for equality. Statistics are often cited regarding the wage gap and violent acts against women as proof that women are denied the same rights and protection as males. This paper argues that in many situations men are often denied the same rights and privileges that women have today. This discussion concentrates mainly on family law proceedings as well as criminal court cases and investigations in which men are not given equal consideration. Primacy for women’s issues had its time and place, but now it appears as though the pendulum has swung too far and as a result our society is losing empathy for men.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Tina D.

    [[alternative]]An Experimental Research on Digital Circuit Skill Instruction Using TINA and EWB Computer Assisted Courseware

    No full text
    [[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to investigate the instruction achievement of computer assisted instruction(CAI) on digital circuit skill instruction, with TINA, EWB and a self-developed multimedia system as skill instruction courseware. The nonequivalent pretest-posttest design is used to test the effectiveness of two new CAI methods. Electronic Workbench (EWB) is a simulation training system, and Toolkit for Interactive Network Analysis (TINA) is a training system with additional test cards. Both of EWB and TINA systems were developed for digital circuit training. Thirty six students were selected from Taipei Municipal Sung-Shan Vocational Industrial-Agricultural School as experimental objects. They were divided into two groups. The experimental group used TINA system and the comparison group used EWB system for studying digital circuit skill. The achievement of knowledge and skill in both two groups were evaluated through the posttest. The retention test was given to the students three times week after week to check their learning condition. The results of this research was summaried as the followings; 1.In knowledge studying, there is no significant difference between experimental group and comparison group;but in skill learning,there is significance between these two groups. The achievement of experimental group is higher than the comparison group. Therefore the effectiveness of EWB is no less than that of TINA in knowledge instruction, and the effectiveness of TINA is higher than that of EWB in skill learning. 2. The satisfaction of experimental group is higher than comparison group in courseware and environment design. The students preferred to study skill with both hands and brain. 3. In the retention of knowledge and skill abilities, there is no significant difference between experimental group and comparison group. But the average score of experimental group is higher than that of comparison group. Therefore the retention of learning system with both hands and brain is better than that of a pure simulation learning system on digital circuit skill instruction. Keywords: computer assisted instruction(CAI), TINA, EWB, digital circuit learning, retention.

    Negative pressure wound therapy and intra-articular antibiotics instillation (NPWTiai) for the treatment of chronic arthroplasty-associated infections and implant retention: An alternative approach

    No full text
    Despite current low rates, the incidence of arthroplasty-associated infections (AAI) is likely to increase over the next few years as the number of joint replacement operations continues to rise worldwide. AAI pose a challenge for both patients and surgeons. They have become a major economic burden on healthcare systems. Debridement and implant retention is not a widely considered option for chronic AAI probably due to low success rates. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and intra-articular antibiotics instillation using VAC ULTA/VeraFlo system is an alternative strategy in the management of chronic AAI where implant retention is sought. Further evaluations and studies are needed to address the efficacy of this strategy and its cost effectiveness.</p
