Abstract:

The number of translation programs within a university context has multiplied in many countries worldwide, which led to the need to question their quality (Gambier, 2012). In the Arab world, especially in the Gulf region, translator education is an emerging practice. For instance, in Qatar, the first translation programs were launched in 2012 at both Qatar University (BA minor in translation ) and the MA programs in translation studies at the Translation and Interpreting Institute (College of Humanities and Social Sciences; Hammad bin Khalifa University). Arabic scholars in the field of transl

Abstract:

Adherence is considered a prerequisite for the success of exercise programs for musculoskeletal disorders. The negative effects of non-adherence to exercise recommendations impact the cost of care, and also treatment effectiveness, treatment duration, the therapeutic relationship, waiting times, the efficiency of personnel and use of equipment. Adherence to therapeutic exercise intervention is a multifaceted problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) established the multidimensional adherence model (MAM). The MAM describes five interactive dimensions (socioeconomic, healthcare team and syste

Abstract:

With the increase in frequency of the use of mixed methods, both in research publications and in externally funded grants there are increasing calls for a set of standards to assess the quality of mixed methods research. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to conduct a multi-phase analysis to create a preliminary rubric to evaluate mixed methods research articles. This study included four research questions:<br />1. What are the common evaluation criteria found in the contemporary methodological literature pertaining to the design of mixed methods research?<br />2. What evaluation crit

Despite the demand for a diverse STEM-educated population and workforce, college students have consistently turned away from these disciplines in large numbers, creating a persistent problem that many are trying to address.

Funding supports undergraduate STEM students' engagement in real-world research alongside STEM mentors.

Abstract:

Mixed methods studies, where qualitative and quantitative methods are used together in a single study, are undertaken in health services research (HSR). The question addressed here is whether researchers in HSR are fully exploiting the potential of mixed methods studies, and if not, then how they might maximise the potential of this approach. Methods used to examine this question included a review of the literature on mixed methods research; a quantitative documentary analysis of the research proposals, reports and publications of 75 mixed methods studies funded by ten Department of Health pro

Abstract:

Thesis (MPhil (Sociology and Social Anthropology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>The contemporary evaluation literature advocates for and recommends a pluralistic approach to programme evaluation, with some writers contending that the use of multiple and/or mixed methods for the practice is inevitable. The rationale for such an approach encompasses aspects of both the ‘technical’ and the ‘political’ requirements of evaluation practice.

The present study aimed to investigate the impact that note-taking has on the client’s experience of the counsellor, from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. To achieve this, a sequential explanatory strategy to mixed-methods (Creswell, 2013) was employed, with a chronological priority given to the quantitative phase of the study. The quantitative research was specifically conducted to verify whether notetaking has an impact on the client. Participants watched a video of an initial counselling session where different levels of note-taking were observed: no, light, moderate and heavy no

The process of research is fraught with rote terminology that, when used blindly, can bend our methodological actions away from our theoretical intentions. This investigation is aimed at developing two methods for bringing meaning and interpretability to research when we work with confounds. I argue, with the first method, that granting confounds substantive influence in a network of related variables (rather than viewing confounds as nuisance variables) enhances the conceptual dimension with which phenomena can be explained.

The communication of anthropogenic climate change presents many challenges, for communicators, scientists, policymakers and publics alike.

Previous research has established that audiences are often averse to uncertainty, and will disregard or ignore messages that contain it.
