Qualitative research methods: A review of major stages, data analysis techniques, and quality controls
This review examines the basic tenets of qualitative or naturalistic methods in terms of their original grounding in the basic social sciences and their value to library and information science research. Examination of the five key points provides the understanding needed to move from contemplation to use of these methods: the research problem, data gathering, content analysis, theory development, and validity techniques.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/31470/1/0000392.pd
A feminist information engagement framework for gynecological cancer patients : the case of cervical cancer
PURPOSE â The purpose of this paper is to present a three-part framework of information engagement
for situated gynecological cancers. These particular cancers intertwine with medicalization of sexuality
and gender power dynamics, situating information behaviors and interactions in womenâs socio-health
perceptions. Using Kavanagh and Broomâs feminist risk framework, the framework establishes functional and temporal parameters for sense-making and information engagement.
DESIGN / METHODOLOGY / APPROACH â This paper employs a structured, reiterative literature review with emergent thematic analysis. Nine indices from medicine, information studies, and sociology were searched using combinations of five terms on cervical cancer (CC) and 14 terms on information engagement in the title, abstract, and subject fields. Results were examined on a reiterative basis to identify emergent themes pertaining to knowledge development and information interactions.
FINDINGS â Environmentally, social stigma and gender roles inhibit information seeking; normalizing
CC helps integrate medical, moral, and sexual information. Internally, living with the dichotomy
between âhavingâ a body and âbeingâ a body requires high-trust information resources that are
presented gradually. Actively, choosing to make or cede medical decision-making requires personally
relevant information delivered in the form of concrete facts and explanations.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS / IMPLICATIONS â The study covers only one country.
ORIGINALITY / VALUE â This studyâs information framework and suggestions for future research encourage consideration of gender power dynamics, medicalization of sexuality, and autonomy in womenâs health information interactions.http://www.emeraldinsight.com/0022-0418.htmhb201
Three-dimensional laser cooling at the Doppler limit
Many predictions of Doppler cooling theory of two-level atoms have never been
verified in a three-dimensional geometry, including the celebrated minimum
achievable temperature , where is the transition
linewidth. Here, we show that, despite their degenerate level structure, we can
use Helium-4 atoms to achieve a situation in which these predictions can be
verified. We make measurements of atomic temperatures, magneto-optical trap
sizes, and the sensitivity of optical molasses to a power imbalance in the
laser beams, finding excellent agreement with the Doppler theory. We show that
the special properties of Helium, particularly its small mass and narrow
transition linewidth, prevent effective sub-Doppler cooling with red-detuned
optical molasses.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Beaver dam capacity of Canadaâs boreal plain in response to environmental change
© AuthorsNatural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Discovery (RGPIN-2017-05873); CREATE (463960-2015) programPeer ReviewedEnvironmental changes are altering the water cycle of Canadaâs boreal plain. Beaver dams are well known for increasing water storage and slowing flow through stream networks. For these reasons beavers are increasingly being included in climate change adaptation strategies. But, little work focuses on how environmental changes will affect dam building capacity along stream networks. Here we estimate the capacity of the stream network in Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada to support beaver dams under changing environmental conditions using a modelling approach. We show that at capacity, the parkâs stream network can support 24,690 beaver dams and hold between 8.2 and 12.8 million m3 of water in beaver ponds. Between 1991 and 2016 the parkâs vegetation composition shifted to less preferred beaver forage, which led to a 13% decrease in maximum dam capacity. We also found that dam capacity is sensitive to the size of regularly-occurring floodsâ doubling the 2-year flood reduces the parkâs dam capacity by 21%. The results show that the potential for beaver to offset some expected climatic-induced changes to the boreal water cycle is more complex than previously thought, as there is a feedback wherein dam capacity can be reduced by changing environmental conditions
A rapid systematic review of public responses to health messages encouraging vaccination against infectious diseases in a pandemic or epidemic
Public health teams need to understand how the public responds to vaccination messages in a pandemic or epidemic to inform successful campaigns encouraging the uptake of new vaccines as they become available. A rapid systematic review was performed by searching PsycINFO, MED-LINE, healthevidence.org, OSF Preprints and PsyArXiv Preprints in May 2020 for studies including at least one health message promoting vaccine uptake of airborne-, droplet-and fomite-spread vi-ruses. Included studies were assessed for quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) or the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR), and for patient and public involvement (PPI) in the research. Thirty-five articles were included. Most reported messages for seasonal influenza (n = 11; 31%) or H1N1 (n = 11; 31%). Evidence from moderate to high quality studies for improving vaccine uptake included providing information about virus risks and vaccination safety, as well as addressing vaccine misunderstandings, offering vaccination reminders, including vaccination clinic details, and delivering mixed media campaigns across hospitals or communities. Behavioural influences (beliefs and intentions) were improved when: shorter, risk-reducing or relative risk framing messages were used; the benefits of vaccination to society were emphasised; and beliefs about capability and concerns among target populations (e.g., vaccine safety) were addressed. Clear, credible, messages in a language target groups can understand were associated with higher accept-ability. Two studies (6%) described PPI in the research process. Future campaigns should consider the beliefs and information needs of target populations in their design, including ensuring that vaccine eligibility and availability is clear, and messages are accessible. More high quality research is needed to demonstrate the effects of messaging interventions on actual vaccine uptake
