Bobby Fischer In Socio-Cultural Perspective: Application Of Hiller’S (2011) Multi-Layered Chronological Chart Methodology, Jospeh G. Ponterotto, Jason D. Reynolds
Bobby Fischer In Socio-Cultural Perspective: Application Of Hiller’S (2011) Multi-Layered Chronological Chart Methodology, Jospeh G. Ponterotto, Jason D. Reynolds
The Qualitative Report
This article presents a case study application of Hiller’s (2011) Multi - Layered Chronological Chart (MLCC) methodology to the life story of former World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer. Designed for use in qualitative biographical studies, the MLCC is adapted here for psychobiographical research. In 1972, Fischer became an American Cold War hero as he wrestled the World Chess Championship from a half century of Soviet domination. His rapid rise to world fame was followed by infamy as Fischer abandoned competitive chess, grew increasingly Anti - Semitic and Anti - American, became a fugitive from U.S. justice, and died in relative …

The Qualitative Report
The recently won People’s Democracy ( Loktantra ) in Nepal has transpired a contested yet ever demanding platform furthering rights and identity movements. The availability of alternative voices through community radios is a space to emancipate the identity movement towards indigenous empowerment and asserting their respectful and equitable entry in to “ New Nepal .” Within the theoretical framework of identity and democracy this research is based on the study of community radios as “ case study organizations .” We have used media ethnography and media text analysis including the observation to both corroborate and contradict with the participants’ understandings …
Playing Set® To Discover Qualitative Data Analysis, Jean Scandlyn, Sarah Hautzinger
Playing Set® To Discover Qualitative Data Analysis, Jean Scandlyn, Sarah Hautzinger
The Qualitative Report
This article describes the use of an experiential classroom exercise using the card game Set® to introduce concepts related to qualitative approaches to research design and analysis, particularly those based in an interpretive framework. The multiple components of the game, which centers on visual pattern recognition, parallel the “organic” complexity of ethnographic investigation and demonstrate how strong interpretations can be supported with qualitative evidence. The first author adapted the exercise, originally developed by the second author for teaching undergraduate anthropology students, for use in workshops teaching qualitative research to mid - career professionals working on health - related projects in …
Prototype Modeling Vs. Item Response Theory – A Paradigm Shift For Measurement Professionals, Joseph Yeager, Linda Sommer, Juliette Faughnan, Christophe Geerkens
Prototype Modeling Vs. Item Response Theory – A Paradigm Shift For Measurement Professionals, Joseph Yeager, Linda Sommer, Juliette Faughnan, Christophe Geerkens
The Qualitative Report
In science, the usual research mode is to discover cause - and - effect mechanisms operating behind superficial reality. Aviation, for example, uses prototype modeling to develop improved aircraft from one generation to the next. In stark contrast to prototype modeling’s search for causal mechanisms, assessment technologies remain dominated by probability strategies — which is why psychological assessment lags behind the hard sciences. A major difference in results exists between inferences produced through item response theory versus the cause - effect prototyping strategies of aerospace and other techno - savvy industries. Parallel to aerospace strategies, systems analysis of language, using …

The Therapeutic Interview Process In Qualitative Research Studies, Judith A. Nelson, Anthony J. Onwuegbuzie, Lisa A. Wines, Rebecca K. Frels
The Qualitative Report
The purpose of this paper is to describe the systemic strategies used in marriage and family therapy relevant to interviews, via what we call the therapeutic interview process, that expand the meaning of a research study for both the counselor researcher and the participant(s). We outline the therapeutic interview process for conducting transformative - based interviews via similar strategies from a family systems perspective conceptualized by Charlés (2007). The central core of the interview process is the therapeutic conversation itself that involves the systemic whole. This therapeutic conversation is facilitated by debriefing interviews, whereby the counselor researcher is interviewed to …

Pharmacological Characterization Of A Novel Non-At1, Non-At2 Angiotensin Binding Site Identified As Neurolysin, Jamala D. Swindle, Kira L. Santos, Robert C. Speth
HPD Articles
The discovery of a novel non-AT1, non-AT2 binding site for angiotensins in the rodent brain and testis that is unmasked by the organomercurial compound para-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB) has catalyzed efforts to purify and characterize this protein. We recently reported that this protein is neurolysin and now report upon the specificity of this binding site for various neuropeptides. Competition binding assays in rat brain and testis used (125)I-Sar(1), Ile(8) angiotensin II (Ang II) as the radioligand in the presence of saturating concentrations of AT1 and AT2 receptor antagonists and 100 μM parachloromercuribenzoate. Primary screening of 36 peptides and other compounds at …

Evaluation Of Factors That Increase The Severity Of Dysmenorrhoea Among University Female Students In Maiduguri, North Eastern Nigeria, Roland Nnaemeka Okoro, Helen Malgwi, Glory Ogechi Okoro
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Dysmenorrhoea is defined as painful menses in women.1 Dysmenorrhoea is frequently encountered in young women around adolescence. It affects the quality of life (QOL) of women during reproductive age. The aetiology of primary dysmenorrhoea is not precisely understood, but most symptoms can be explained by the action of uterine prostaglandins, particularly PG F2α. It may be associated with other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, back pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and fainting. These symptoms could be very severe and social activity is very limited during menstruation, reducing quality of life in women. Severity of symptoms is usually assessed by grading …

Participatory Action Research To Determine Essential Elements Of A Wheelchair Assessment, Teresa Plummer, Max Ito, Ferol Ludwig
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Nearly 3 million people in the Unites States utilize a wheelchair for mobility. Yet, there is no standardized assessment or procurement process for wheelchair provision. Thus, practitioners have limited guidance in the essential elements of a wheelchair assessment. End users may have no or limited experience in determining the best choice of wheelchairs to meet their needs and often rely on the knowledge of the practitioner in the decision-making process of wheelchair selection. The author explored the current state of practice and the essential elements in the wheelchair assessment and procurement process. Obtaining the correct wheelchair is a complex process, …

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
BACKGROUND: Athletic trainer retention has been topic of concern for 20 years, with one study indicating a drastic decline within ten years of becoming certified. Burnout, life-work balance, role strain, socialization, salary, in addition to other constructs are potential reasons for a lack of retention. An assessment of individuals who have left the athletic training profession is lacking; therefore, the purpose of this study was to discover the reasons why athletic trainers leave the profession of athletic training. DESIGN: Web-based survey. Qualtrics® was used to survey of 1000 individuals who let their athletic training certification lapse within 5 years of …
Warfarin Induced Generalized Dermatitis – A Case Study, Corinne Floyd, Simon Leung
Warfarin Induced Generalized Dermatitis – A Case Study, Corinne Floyd, Simon Leung
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Despite bleeding concerns, other non-bleeding events can also occur from warfarin therapy. These non-bleeding events, occurring in less than 1%, include but are not limit to skin necrosis, “purple toe syndrome,” and dermatologic hypersensitivity reactions. Dermatologic adverse reactions from warfarin are uncommon and rarely reported in the literature. In this article, a rare case is described of warfarin induced generalized dermatitis in a 73-year-old female patient who was admitted for COPD exacerbation but later had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (CHADS2 score of 2) and experienced an acute dermatological reaction during the initial and subsequent re-challenge of warfarin therapy. Both episodes of …
