The original intention was to use qualitative descriptive methods but as the work progressed, we incorporated interpretive description [ 22] methods into our analysis.
There is no systematic method for constructing the content/scope of health state descriptions for stroke, and the patient perspective is not incorporated, producing descriptions with major deficits in reflecting the lived experience of stroke, and raising serious questions about the values derived from such descriptions and conclusions based on these values.
A research-based framework that incorporated a description of elementary students' statistical thinking on four constructs and across four levels of thinking informed the hypothetical learning trajectory for the teaching experiment.
The program included special software to enable the input of the initial grain structure and texture and incorporated a description of the misorientation-dependence of the grain-boundary mobility.
(A basic description of the methods incorporated in AMBER is given elsewhere [21].) The starting models for the simulated annealing procedure are either crystal structures of phosphopeptide-SH2 domain complexes, or – where such structures are not available – models built by mutating phosphopeptide residues from a closely related crystal structure.
We incorporated a description of the statistical analyses including counting procedures and determination of normal distribution (see Methods, subsections "Image Analysis and counting" and "Statistical analyses").
The health states incorporated standardized descriptions of treatment response (symptoms have "improved," "stabilized," or "gotten worse"), swollen glands, impact on daily activities, fatigue, appetite, and night sweats.
"Adopting roles in pain assessment" reflected patients' and caregivers' roles in pain assessment, while "Identifying and describing the pain" incorporated participants' descriptions of pain and the challenges they experienced.
(Patient 2)" All (18/18) patients provided detailed descriptions about how they incorporated and practically managed their combined medication on a daily basis, with some (4/18) including depictions of their individual treatment beliefs.
The JEM used proximity to the ovens, as did the zone classification used in the original study (Sinks et al. 1992), but also incorporated job descriptions, plant layouts, workers' mobility, exposure intensity and frequency, inhalation and dermal exposure to PCBs, and exposure to other chemicals.
