Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
Get PDFThe 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
Volunteer role mastery and commitment: Can HRM make a difference?
Get PDFAlthough the literature on human resource management (HRM) has provided compelling evidence that certain HRM practices can help employees attain the competence and confidence to carry out their role, less is known about the potential impact of HRM practices on volunteers in the context of non-profit organisations. This study addresses this gap by presenting a model that situates role mastery – operationalised as role clarity and self-efficacy – as its centrepiece. Our model suggests that role mastery leads to commitment to the volunteer organisation and that role mastery can be achieved through training and supportive relationships with paid staff. A dual-mediation analysis of survey data from a humanitarian non-profit organisation in the United Kingdom (n=647) supported our theoretical model. We contribute to volunteering theory and practice by identifying tools that non-profit organisations can employ to maximise the role mastery and commitment of volunteers

Bold Signals 2.09: Bylines and Deadlines with Tina Saey
No full textThis week we cover the who, what, where, why, when, and how in a
conversation with geneticist turned science writer Tina Hesman Saey.
Tina covers the molecular biology beat for Science News. In our
conversation we discuss the logistics of writing at a place like Science
News, talking about science to non-scientists and journalism to
scientists, and the difference between blogging and journalism.Tina on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thsaeyTina at Science News: https://www.sciencenews.org/author/tina-hesman-saeyBold Signals on Twitter: Twitter.com/BoldSignalsPodBold Signals on Tumblr: BoldSignalsPodcast.tumblr.comLinks and show notes: http://goo.gl/xPhK6EMusic in this Episode:”Enterprise 1“ by Languis“I’ll Become Everything” by Nick Jaina“NewYorican” by Máscaras“Building a Nation” by Alialujah Choir <br
Who says it's still a man's world?: questioning the myth of male privilege in America
No full textWomen 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.
2016 TINA & PINA, Figure 4 (TINA quantifies community similarity from taxa co-occurrence)
No full text(A) For two urogenital samples which share a large taxa overlap, both traditional count-based indices (exemplified by the classical Jaccard index, JCI) and TINA assign a low-ranking community distance (as indicated in community distance histograms on the right). The middle panel shows how taxa of these samples map onto the co-occurrence network introduced in Figure 3; blue, taxa unique to sample SN700035995; green, taxa unique to sample SN700096698; blue-green, taxa shared between both samples. (B) For two urogenital samples that do not share any taxa, but whose taxa still share attractive co-occurrence interactions, JCI assigns complete distance (JCI=1), while TINA assigns a relatively low-ranking distance. (C) In the opposite case of two samples from different body sites (skin and oral) which have a significant taxa overlap, but repulsive taxa interactions, JCI assigns a low-ranking, but TINA a very high-ranking distance.For more details and context, see http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/02/18/040097</div
