A Novel Framework for Cellular Tracking and Mitosis Detection in Dense Phase …

Abstract—The aim of this paper is to detail the development of a novel tracking framework that is able to extract the cell motility indicators and to determine the cellular division (mitosis) events in large time-lapse phase-contrast image sequences. To address the challenges induced by nonstructured (random) motion, cellular agglomeration, and cellular mitosis, the process of automatic (unsu…

Multivariate Prediction of Subcutaneous Glucose Concentration in Type 1 Diabe…

Abstract—Data-driven techniques have recently drawn significant interest in the predictive modeling of subcutaneous (s.c.) glucose concentration in type 1 diabetes. In this study, the s.c. glucose prediction is treated as a multivariate regression problem, whichisaddressedusingsupportvectorregression(SVR).Theproposed method is based on variables concerning: 1) the s.c. glucose profile; 2) th…

Abstract: Aim: To evaluate differences in uteroplacental blood flow and pregnancy outcome in women with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (IRSM) following administration of micronized vaginal progesterone and oral dydrogesterone. Methods: One hundred and thirty-three women (aged 23–40 years) who had had early miscarriages and spontaneous conception participated. Oral dydrogester…

Can maternal serum placental growth factor estimation in early second trimest…

Abstract Aim: To determine whether maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) estimation in early second trimester (20–22 weeks of gestation) can predict the occurrence of early onset preeclampsia and/or early onset intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Material and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 722 women with singleton pregnancies, screened from the antenatal cl…

Analytic formulas and numerical simulations for the dynamics of thick and no…

Abstract: The kinetics of UV light photoinitiated polymerization system (PPS) with non-uniform initiator concentration is theoretically presented. Analytic formulas are derived for the cross linking time (T*), defined by the depletion level of the initiator, which is an exponentially increasing function of the thickness, whereas it is inverse proportional to the UV light intensity. Typical T* …

Middle Alternatives Revisited: How the neither/nor Response Acts as a Way of …

A persistent problem in the design of bipolar attitude questions is whether or not to include a middle response alternative. On the one hand, it is reasonable to assume that people might hold opinions which are ‘neutral’ with regard to issues of public controversy. On the other, question designers suspect that offering a mid-point may attract respondents with no opinion, or those who lean t…

Choosing the Number of Categories in Agree–Disagree Scales

Although agree–disagree (AD) rating scales suffer from acquiescence response bias, entail enhanced cognitive burden, and yield data of lower quality, these scales remain popular with researchers due to practical considerations (e.g., ease of item preparation, speed of administration, and reduced administration costs). This article shows that if researchers want to useADscales, they should off…

Response Error in Earnings: An Analysis of the Survey of Income and Program P…

This article examines the problem of response error in survey earnings data. Comparing workers’ earnings reports in the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to their detailed W-2 earnings records from the Social Security Administration, we employ ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression models to assess the effects of earnings determinants and d…

Investigating Response Errors in Survey Data

This special issue of Sociological Methods & Research contributes to recent trends in studies that exploit the availability of multiple measures in sample surveys in order to detect the level and patterning to measurement errors. Articles in this volume focus on topics in one of (or some combination of) the three areas: (1) those that develop and test theoretical hypotheses regarding the behavi…

The ‘standard of care’ debate and global justice in research

In this essay the ethical issues related to the ‘standard of care’ are discussed together with the implications for the treatment of the control group in transnational clinical trials. It is argued that the human right to health and the duty of justice formulate the moral basis on which this case should be debated. Keywords: Clinical trials, standard of care, global justice

Critical Race Theory in Education: A Review of Past Literature and a Look to …

This article examines the development of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in education, paying attention to how researchers use CRT (and its branches) in the study of K-12 and higher education. The article reviews CRT literature with a focus on CRT scholarship that offers tools to engage with and work against racism within education. The authors highlight works that embody the critical origins of CRT…

Danny’s Fight for Life: Cultural Flexibility and Life History Method Reexam…

This article focuses on Danny, a low-income, first-generation college student living in Los Angeles, California, and the challenges he has faced in preparing for college. The author describes how Danny’s identity and “cultural flexibility” have aided him as he applied to college.

Crossing Methodological Borders: Decolonizing Community-Based Participatory R…

To advance socially just research, scholars—including those who utilize qualitative methodologies—must confront the colonizing reputation that frames such work in Indigenous communities. This article explores the potential for Community-Based Participatory Research to guide the re-envisioning of mainstream conceptions of scholarly control to cross epistemological borders between theory and…

The Role of the Intellectual in Minority Group Studies: Reflections on Deaf S…

The role and position of minority group intellectuals in the social sciences has been the subject of some research and debate, but not, until recently, within the field of Deaf studies. In this article, we will explore the role of the Deaf intellectual in their relations to the academic field and the Deaf community. We offer a critique of the prevailing theoretical framework of postmodernism an…

Becoming Ever More Monstrous: Feeling Transgender In-Betweenness

In this autoethnography, I elaborate an analysis of interpersonal aspects of transgender life by narrating my everyday interactions living in a gender-ambiguous body as I begin a sexed transition from female to more masculine. I analyze my affective experiences in moments when I am in geographic and gendered transit, encountering social rejection, and connection. Analyzing my fundamentally rela…

Telling Multiracial Tales: An Autoethnography of Coming Out Home

What follows are experimental autoethnographic tales of ambiguous embodiment. The tales weave in and out of the text and work to articulate gender in unsuspecting spaces. Together, we reconsider gender through multiple locations at once. I offer an autoethnography of multiracial tales: a simultaneous telling of embodiment as it manifests in my multiracial body. Rather than privileging one “si…

Waheeda Remembering Her Cat Izzy: A Study in the Consciousness of a Child

This article is based on a single interview session with a 7-year-old girl, Waheeda, regarding the cat Izzy that Waheeda used to have 2 years before the interview. The interview was part of a research project that explored the relationships of multicultural children with their companion animals. The article first tries to give a larger impression of Waheeda’s way of being (including conscious…

Killing With Kindness: Confessions of an Obsessive

This is a story about how my obsessive lifestyle inhibits the development of a new intimate relationship. The story unfolds in three parts—the first, documenting obsessive disorders from two medical perspectives; the second, personalizing the disorder in terms of my past relational life; and the third, working through my current relationship through an extended conversation between that intim…

Decolonizing Research on Palestinians: Towards Critical Epistemologies and Re…

This article builds on Indigenous and decolonial theorists’ and activists’ contention that European imperialism and colonialism are inseparable from modern knowledge production, and that the power/knowledge nexus continues to be implicated in the contemporary coloniality of the world. It examines the power relations inherent in imperialism and colonialism as they unfolded in the “before,�…

Ethical Issues in the Reuse of Qualitative Data: Perspectives From Literature…

In this article, we explore ethical issues in qualitative secondary analysis through a comparison of the literature with practitioner and participant perspectives. To achieve this, we integrated critical narrative review findings with data from two discussion groups: qualitative researchers and research users/consumers. In the literature, we found that theoretical debate ran parallel to practic…

Exploring the Impact of Patient and Public Involvement in a Cancer Research S…

An enduring theme in the literature exploring patient and public involvement (PPI) in research has been the focus on evaluating impact, defined usually in terms of participants’ practical contribution to enhancing research processes. By contrast, there has been less emphasis on the perspectives and experiences of those involved in PPI. Drawing on qualitative data with people involved in the N…

No Ordinary Mainstream Illness: How HIV Doctors Perceive the Virus

Research has shown that social representations of HIV can constitute barriers to health workers’ willingness to provide HIV care. Considering a growing shortage in the HIV primary workforce in Western countries, we examine how HIV is perceived today by doctors involved in its care. In 1989 Sontag predicted that once the virus became better understood and treatable, the dehumanizing meaning…

The Problem of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use Today: Eyes Half Cl…

Commentators such as Goldacre, Dawkins, and Singh and Ernst are worried that the rise in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) represents a flight from science propagated by enemies of reason. We outline what kind of problem CAM use is for these commentators, and find that users of CAM have been constituted as duped, ignorant, irrational, or immoral in explaining CAM use. However, this …

Clients’ Initiatives and Caregivers’ Responses in the Organizational Dyna…

Our aim with this article is to develop a typology for the analysis of client–caregiver encounters in health care. We first observed client–caregiver interactions in the homes of home care clients and during the care processes of surgical patients. We then conducted a data-driven analysis to identify the clients’ initiatives and the degree of engagement in the responses they received. The…

Former Child Soldiers’ Problems and Needs: Congolese Experiences

With this article, we explore how staff working at transit centers and vocational training centers in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo experienced the problems and needs of former child soldiers. We argued that the staff’s experience of the children’s daily lives and their understanding of the sociocultural context of the conflict make their perspective a valuable source of info…

How Clinicians Develop Confidence in Their Competence in Performing Aspiratio…

In this article we explore how nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurse midwives in California (collectively referred to as clinicians) developed confidence while learning to provide vacuum aspiration abortion. We interviewed clinicians (n = 30) who worked in reproductive health care settings and had participated in a large abortion-training study. Although the training had moral an…

Where Did We Come From and Where Are We Going? Examining Authorship Character…

Abstract This study explores the characteristics of authors who have published in technical communication journals between 2008 and 2012 to generate insights into who is actively contributing to scholarship in the field. These insights drive a broader discussion regarding programmatic implications and interdisciplinary approaches to research. Research questions: (1) Who is publishing in techn…

Acceptance and Decision Making in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis From a Life-C…

Researchers have explored perceptions of health care services among people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but little is known about how and why people with ALS engage with services. We undertook a grounded theory study to identify key psychosocial processes that underpin how and why people with ALS engage with health care services. We conducted in-depth interviews with 34 participa…

Assessment of the Impact of a Workplace Intervention to Reduce Prolonged Occu…

We aim to provide a better picture of the outcomes associated with implementing a nonpurposeful, physical activity, e-health intervention in a professional workplace. There is a need for health professionals to evaluate physical-activitybased workplace health interventions with a full range of measures. Using a social ecological model as a basis, we identify a range of subjective outcomes from …

A Method of Phenomenological Interviewing

In this article I propose a method of interviewing for descriptive phenomenological research that offers an explicit, theoretically based approach for researchers. My approach enables application of descriptive phenomenology as a total method for research, and not one just focused on data analysis. This structured phenomenological approach to interviewing applies questions based on themes of ex…

Testing the Validity of Gender Ideology Items by Implementing Probing Questio…

This article examines the use of probing techniques in web surveys to identify validity problems of items. Conventional cognitive interviewing is usually based on small sample sizes and thus precludes quantifying the findings in a meaningful way or testing small or special subpopulations characterized by their response behavior. This article investigates probing in web surveys as a supplem…

The Duality of Clusters and Statistical Interactions

We contend that clusters of cases co-constitute statistical interactions among variables. Interactions among variables imply clusters of cases within which statistical effects differ. Regression coefficients may be productively viewed as sums across clusters of cases, and in this sense regression coefficients may be said to be ‘‘composed’’ of clusters of cases. We explicate a four-…

Modeling the Structure of Partnership Between Researchers and Front-Line Serv…

Partnerships between HIV researchers and service providers are essential for reducing the gap between research and practice. Community-Based Participatory Research principles guided this cross-sectional study, combining 40 in-depth interviews with surveys of 141 providers in 24 social service agencies in New York City. We generated the Provider-Researcher Partnership Model to account for pr…

Children’s Structured Conceptualizations of Their Beliefs on the Causes of …

Elementary school children between 9 and 12 years of age were interviewed on what they believed to be the causes of learning difficulties and were invited to take part in the analysis of the data. We achieved this with Trochim’s concept mapping approach that combines qualitative and quantitative data analyses. Study results indicated that children were more knowledgeable than expected. Al…

Implementing Quality Criteria in Designing and Conducting a Sequential QUAN !…

In spite of recent methodological developments related to quality assurance in mixed methods research, practical examples of how to implement quality criteria in designing and conducting sequential QUAN! QUAL mixed methods studies to ensure the process is systematic and rigorous remain scarce. This article discusses a three-step procedure for securing the quality of the meta-inferences gene…

Unexpected but Most Welcome: Mixed Methods for the Validation and Revision of…

Although combining methods is nothing new, more contributions about why and how to mix methods for validation purposes are needed. This article presents a case of validating the inferences drawn from the Participatory Evaluation Measurement Instrument, an instrument that purports to measure stakeholder participation in evaluation. Although the process was intended to be almost exclusively q…

Images: Objects of Analysis in Sociology and Relational Psychoanalysis

This article responds to Bersani’s critique of psychoanalysis’ personalism by focusing on the role of art, images, and objects in both psychoanalysis and sociology. I take examples of my research in visual art, and images conjured in my own psychoanalytic treatment, to look at the nonhuman agencies present in these relationships. Keywords: psychoanalysis, art, objects, things

Establishing Field Relations through Shared Ideology: Insider Self-positionin…

Current literature on identity and insider–outsider positioning in field relations is dominated by discussions of overt characteristics such as shared ethnicity, gender, and class. The potential for self-positioning as an ally researcher through shared ideology opens new possibilities for research methods, but its precarious nature needs to be better understood. Multisited research provides a…

Accuracy of Withinhousehold Selection in Web and Mail Surveys of the General …

Household surveys are moving from interviewer-administered modes to selfadministeredmodes for data collection, but many households do not accurately follow within-household selection procedures inmail surveys. In this article, we examine accuracy of within-household selection using an oldest adult/youngest adult method in web, mail, and mixed-mode surveys. The frame for this study comes from a …

Connecting Participant Observation Positions: Toward a Reflexive Framework fo…

In this article, we argue for the importance of considering participant observation roles in relation to both insider/outsider and overt/covert roles. Through combining key academic debates on participant observation, which have separately considered insider/outsider and overt/covert participant observation, we develop a reflexive framework to assist researchers in (1) locating the type of par…

Surname Sampling: Reevaluating Kim Sampling in Korea and the United States

In 1984, Shin and Yu proposed that sampling Koreans by simply identifying those with the common surname Kim would yield a representative sample, as determined by geographic distribution.Weextend the evidence that individuals with specificcommonsurnames inKorea are representative of the whole population. Wefound that individuals with any of the fivemost common Korean surnames, not just Kim, were…

Improving the Utility of the DSF Address-based Frame through Ancillary Inform…

Survey researchers have recently begun using the U.S. Postal Service Delivery Sequence File (DSF) as a sampling frame. In addition to address, the DSF contains ancillary data regarding the status and structure of the address. These ancillary data may prove useful in further enhancing frame construction and sampling methodologies. We review three variables on the DSF: the vacancy flag, the colle…

Falling into the depths of his mind: Action research as a way of maintaining …

Maintaining a meaningful relationship with a loved one who is diagnosed with dementia and hospitalized is significant, both for the person with dementia and for his/her relatives and friends. Nevertheless, the process of dementia poses great challenges and obstacles for communication. This article’s aim is to discuss the potential contributions of action research (AR) as an effective way …

Italian Sociologists’ Approach to Qualitative Interviews

It is common to come across interviews, both transcribed and recorded, that were conducted according to remarkably different strategies that seem to contrast with the recommendations and indications of a large part of the literature on this subject. To understand the reasons behind these different strategies, I will present the outcomes of a study carried out among Italian sociologists who base…

Matrix Assisted Structural Hypothesis Construction: Further Explorations

In January 2011 (BMS issue 109), this journal published our article on a new process for developing a structural hypothesis, using a matrix approach and multi-dimensional data analysis techniques (Cohen and Tresser, 2011). The present article continues to develop the matrix assisted hypothesis construction method (matrix method for short) and offers directions for research utilizing this approa…
