We interpret our findings in light of literature on how smoking spaces are linked to the socio-geographical power relations that determine how smoking is organised within the hospital and how this is understood by different groups using the hospital building.
Significant to both Briggs's story and my own are the different ways in which communicative practices are understood by different social actors, especially as emotional and practical commitments are negotiated between ethnographer and field consultant.
Further, it is useful to understand this aspect in greater depth, by probing, for instance, the social and cultural factors that lead to someone not 'feeling' the need for vision correction, or how 'good vision' is understood by different groups of people.
The pre-tested questionnaire and postal survey method conform to widely-accepted methodological standards [ 21]: centrally monitored protocols ensure that participating organisations comply with a uniform sampling method and postal survey; questionnaires are tested to ensure that they cover patients' priorities and can be understood by different demographic groups [ 22, 23].
Signals, which often combine colour and movement, may be understood by many different species; for example, the cleaning stations of the banded coral shrimp Stenopus hispidus are visited by different species of fish, and even by reptiles such as hawksbill sea turtles.
The discrepancy between the present theoretical values and the measured data might be understood by the different length scales of the systems (nanometers in our model systems versus hundreds of nanometers in experimental CNCs).
Since E378 and T338 both make contacts with the T-stem where most of the RNA sequence specificity occurs, these data can be understood by the different T-stem sequences of the two tRNAs.
The results can be understood by considering the different initial lattice structures of these materials and the confinement effects of the dopants.
The paper addresses the question of how an English language user interface will be understood by users from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds and provides some answers from the study of second language acquisition and the practice of language teaching and learning.
Many of the important characteristics of the relationships can be understood by focusing on different dyadic and triadic patterns and how the ties are reciprocated.
