Sexual offender treatment programs to reduce reoffending have been implemented in many countries as part of a strategy in managing this offender group. However, there are still controversies regarding their effectiveness...

Abstract Hydroformed parts are widely used in industrial automotive parts because of their higher stiffness and fatigue strength and reduced weight relative to their corresponding cast and welded parts. This paper report...

Abstract Background A growing body of research shows the promise and efficacy of technology‐based or digital interventions in improving the health and well‐being of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). In ad...

The main objective of this Campbell systematic review was to provide a systematic review of the evidence on the effects of microcredit on women's control over household spending in developing countries. More specifically...

Abstract Background University healthcare students are exposed to significant levels of stress. The training is highly complex as it requires academic excellence, the development of clinical competencies and strong inter...

BackgroundSeptic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is one of the most common and serious complications of sepsis. Earlier research has identified reciprocal regulation between SCM and gut microbiota (GM), but the mechanistic basis of...

Abstract Background Traumeel (Tr14) and diclofenac gels are commonly prescribed topical treatments for Grade I-II acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS). A meta-analysis of two multi-center trials was performed to compare thei...

Part One: Introduction Part Two: Focusing and Bounding the Collection of Data Part Three: Analysis During Data Collection Part Four: Within-Site Analysis Part Five: Cross-Site Analysis Part Six: Matrix Displays: Some Gen...

Se han estudiado los componentes volátiles de brácteas y flores de 3 especies de Tilia (Tilo), por cromatografía gaseosa, utilizando una columna rellena con "Porapak Q" a fin de contribuir a su caracterización quimio...

The viability of employing flow analysis coupled to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FA-FTIR) as a useful tool for quantitative measuring of magnesium sulphate in pharmaceuticals was explored, developed and valid...

The objective of this paper was to develop a high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection both for chromatographic fingerprint and simultaneous determination of twelve analytes of Shuang-Huang-Lian (...

Abstract Hypothesis‐testing methods for multivariate data are needed to make rigorous probability statements about the effects of factors and their interactions in experiments. Analysis of variance is particularly powe...

Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a complex, multi-step process. The goal of this paper is to collect, in one article, information that will allow researchers and practitioners to understand the various choices availa...

Abstract Objective: Funnel plots (plots of effect estimates against sample size) may be useful to detect bias in meta-analyses that were later contradicted by large trials. We examined whether a simple test of asymmetry ...

This article examines the function of documents as a data source in qualitative research and discusses document analysis procedure in the context of actual research experiences. Targeted to research novices, the article ...

Despite the widespread use of exploratory factor analysis in psychological research, researchers often make questionable decisions when conducting these analyses. This article reviews the major design and analytical deci...

BACKGROUND: Gene set enrichment (GSE) analysis is a popular framework for condensing information from gene expression profiles into a pathway or signature summary. The strengths of this approach over single gene analysis...

SUMMARY: GenAlEx: Genetic Analysis in Excel is a cross-platform package for population genetic analyses that runs within Microsoft Excel. GenAlEx offers analysis of diploid codominant, haploid and binary genetic loci and...

With its theoretical basis firmly established in molecular evolutionary and population genetics, the comparative DNA and protein sequence analysis plays a central role in reconstructing the evolutionary histories of spec...

Offers an applications-oriented approach to multivariate data analysis, focusing on the use of each technique, rather than its mathematical derivation. The text introduces a six-step framework for organizing and discussi...

A method of ‘‘natural population analysis’’ has been developed to calculate atomic charges and orbital populations of molecular wave functions in general atomic orbital basis sets. The natural analysis is an alte...

Introduction * Properties of Population Principal Components * Properties of Sample Principal Components * Interpreting Principal Components: Examples * Graphical Representation of Data Using Principal Components * Choos...

AIM: This paper is a description of inductive and deductive content analysis. BACKGROUND: Content analysis is a method that may be used with either qualitative or quantitative data and in an inductive or deductive way. Q...

As qualitative research becomes increasingly recognized and valued, it is imperative that it is conducted in a rigorous and methodical manner to yield meaningful and useful results. To be accepted as trustworthy, qualita...
