Enhancing Healthcare and Rehabilitation The Impact of Qualitative Research

Enhancing Healthcare and Rehabilitation The Impact of Qualitative Research

Summary Description This book is primarily a celebration of the qualitative work undertaken internationally by a number of experienced researchers. It also focuses on developing the use of qualitative research for health and rehabilitative practitioners by recognizing its value methodologically and empirically. We find that the very nature of qualitative research offers an array of opportunities for researchers in being able to understand the social world around us. Further through experience and discussion this book identifies the multifaceted use of qualitative methods in the healthcare and rehabilitative setting. This book touches on the role of the researcher the participants involved and the research environment. In short we see how these three central elements can affect the nature of qualitative work in attempts to offer originality. This text speaks to a number of audiences. Students who are writing undergraduate dissertations and research proposals they may find the myriad of examples stimulating and may support the rationale for methodological decisions in their own work. For academics practitioners and prospective qualitative researchers this book also aims to demonstrate an array of opportunism in the field of qualitative research and how they may resonate with arguments proffered. It is anticipated that readers will find this collection of qualitative examples not only useful for informing their own research but we also hope to enlighten new discussions and arguments regarding both methodological and empirical use of qualitative work internationally. FeaturesEncompasses the importance of qualitative research and how it can be used to facilitate healthcare and rehabilitation across a wide range of health conditions. Evaluates empirical data whilst critically applying it to contemporary practices. Provides readers with an overview with future directions and influence policy makers in order to develop practice.

A Guide to Research Methodology An Overview of Research Problems Tasks and Methods

A Guide to Research Methodology An Overview of Research Problems Tasks and Methods

Research Methodology is meant to provide a broad guideline to facilitate and steer the whole of a research activity in any discipline. With the ambit and amount of research increasing by the day the need for Research Methodology is being widely appreciated. Against this backdrop we notice the dearth of well-written books on the subject. A Guide to Research Methodology attempts a balance between the generic approach to research in any domain and the wide array of research methods which are to be used in carrying out different tasks in any research. Discussions on these research methods appropriate in various disciplines have focused on the research tasks keeping in mind the fact that a single such task like a comparison among alternatives may involve several methods from seemingly distinct areas. Unique features of this volume as will be evident to a discerning reader include: A detailed discussion on problem areas for research in several domains An illustrative and ampliated list of research problems drawn from different disciplines which can be pursued by interested research workers A comprehensive delineation of Research Design supported by illustrations An elaborate engagement with models with a note on model uncertainty Focus on recent and emerging models methods and techniques A novel treatment of data analysis where the nature of data and the objective(s) of analysis justify drawing upon a variety of techniques for analysis This book will serve the purpose of a pre-PhD or a Master-level course-work for students of any discipline with a basic knowledge of quantitative analysis. In fact anyone aspiring to take up meaningful research work will find the content useful and interesting. | A Guide to Research Methodology An Overview of Research Problems Tasks and Methods

Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods

Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods

The Latest Developments on the Role of Dynamics in Protein Functions Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics: From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods presents modern biomolecular computational techniques that address protein flexibility/dynamics at all levels of theory. An international contingent of leading researchers in chemistry physics and biology show how these advanced methods provide insights into dynamic aspects of biochemical processes. A particular focus is on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) which lack a well-defined three-dimensional structure and function as dynamic ensembles. The book covers a wide spectrum of dynamics from electronic structure-based to coarse-grained techniques via multiscaling at different levels. After an introduction to dynamics and historical overview of basic methodologies the book addresses the following issues: Is there a quantitative relationship between enzymatic catalysis and protein dynamics? Which are the functionally relevant motions of proteins? How can structural properties and partner recognition mechanisms of IDPs be simulated? How can we speed up molecular dynamics? How can we describe conformational ensembles by the synergistic effort of computations and experiments? While dynamics is now considered essential for interpreting protein action it is not yet an integral component in establishing structure–function relationships of proteins. Helping to reshape this classical view in biochemistry this groundbreaking book explores advances in computational methodology and contributes to the new ensemble way of studying proteins. | Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods

Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Wide-Ranging Coverage of Parametric Modeling in Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects ModelsMixed Effects Models for the Population Approach: Models Tasks Methods and Tools presents a rigorous framework for describing implementing and using mixed effects models. With these models readers can perform parameter estimation and modeling across a whole population of individuals at the same time. Easy-to-Use Techniques and Tools for Real-World Data ModelingThe book first shows how the framework allows model representation for different data types including continuous categorical count and time-to-event data. This leads to the use of generic methods such as the stochastic approximation of the EM algorithm (SAEM) for modeling these diverse data types. The book also covers other essential methods including Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and importance sampling techniques. The author uses publicly available software tools to illustrate modeling tasks. Methods are implemented in Monolix and models are visually explored using Mlxplore and simulated using Simulx. Careful Balance of Mathematical Representation and Practical ImplementationThis book takes readers through the whole modeling process from defining/creating a parametric model to performing tasks on the model using various mathematical methods. Statisticians and mathematicians will appreciate the rigorous representation of the models and theoretical properties of the methods while modelers will welcome the practical capabilities of the tools. The book is also useful for training and teaching in any field where population modeling occurs. | Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools
