Abstract:

The focus of this thesis has been on the identification of the primary conditions that attract or deter multilateral interventions into internal conflicts in the Asia Pacific region. This thesis develops a framework which is applied to four cases of internal conflict to see what roles twenty-two structural and perceptual conditions have played in determining why multilateral intervention was initiated in two of the cases, and why multilateral intervention failed to be initiated in the other two cases. The research found that multilateral organizations will accept risks and costs associated wit

This study investigated a Response to Intervention (RtI) practice at the middle school level using a randomly assigned Tier 2 vocabulary intervention. Although RtI research has documented improvement in the academic performance of elementary-aged students, RtI research in support of improved student performance in secondary schools is not prevalent. This study randomly assigned 86 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders into either the treatment or control condition. The purpose was to investigate whether middle school vocabulary instruction impacted vocabulary and/or comprehension growth for ide

Abstract:

The effects of multiple interventions in organizational development change were studied in a comprehensive meta-analytic review. Thirteen organizational interventions were assessed on five outcome variables based upon previous research of six major meta-analytic reviews. Findings based on 138 studies indicated that there were no significant effects of multiple interventions on positive organizational change as opposed to individually implemented interventions. The findings are not congruent with previous findings of organizational development change, and possible issues surrounding these diffe

Abstract:

<p> Effective in 2011, The Department of Justice implemented a change to the direct threat standard, which is part of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This change removed the threat of harm to self from the direct threat standard and potentially limits the actions that colleges can take when working with and responding to students who threaten self-harm. This study sought to determine how this change influenced the work of behavior intervention teams when responding to community college students who threaten self-harm.

Background: Joint working between adult and child services has historically been difficult; the Think Family Toolkit was produced by the government in order to aid collaborative working.

Results: Joint working was described as something that would be useful but there were many barriers to achieving it.

A central question is whether evidence-based behavior change interventions routinely employed in conventional health care could also be integrated into CAM practice to address public health priorities. Essential for successful integration are intervention approaches deemed acceptable and consistent with practice patterns and treatment approaches of different types of CAM practitioners - that is, they have context validity.

Abstract:

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are a frequent strategy for myocardial revascularisation in both the elective and emergency setting. In contrast to surgical techniques such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), there is less procedural burden and a reduction in hospitalisation times. This rapid treatment means a reduced exposure of the individual to healthcare providers in the acute care setting limiting the time to prepare individuals and their families to cope and adjust to living with a chronic condition.In spite of the expansive research in respect of acute coronary syndrom

Abstract:

Keratoconus is a condition in which the corneal shape becomes steeper and more irregular between adolescence and the mid-thirties. It is a common cause of visual impairment with disease progression typically managed with rigid contact lens. Traditionally, no intervention has been available to arrest or slow disease progression. As a result, keratoconus is the commonest indication for corneal transplantation in young people. Over the last decade, outcome data has accumulated for new interventions for keratoconus that have radically altered the treatment options for these patients and promises t

Background: Problems with acceptability of healthcare interventions can undermine the validity of randomised evaluation studies. Hence, assessing acceptability is an important methodological issue. However, the research literature provides little guidance on how to define and assess acceptability. Acceptability of a healthcare intervention could be different, depending on the perspective taken: patients and healthcare professionals may have different views. Perceptions of acceptability may also change according to when acceptability is assessed, in relation to a person’s engagement with the in

Considerable variation exists in the type and quality of interventions carried out on victims of major trauma in the pre-hospital phase of care.

Where necessary, authors of studies were contacted to determine the maintenance status of their intervention. The analysis found the extent of this problem in published studies is substantial.
