Each version includes a set of questions, or scale, and a short manual, along with an explanatory slide presentation; these resources are available for free download from the website of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
The third module is a self-explanatory PowerPoint presentation from the original training package that guides students in an interactive manner step-by-step through a crossing task (Roote and Prokop 2013).
The explanatory texts and presentation by the curator, Adam Duncan Harris, are informative, the presentation intelligent.
Descriptions, criteria, and coding used for the topological/diagrammatic elements, content, presentation, and explanatory items are summarized in Table 1.
Multivariate logistic regression with age, sex, acuity level, chief complaint and injury as reason for presentation as explanatory variables in the model showed that younger age (OR 0.97); being non-urgent (OR 0.49); presenting with chest pain (OR 1.79); presenting an eye, ear, nose or throat problem (OR 4.73); and having an injury (OR 2.91) were independent predictors for self-referral (Table 2).
These phases included: opening activity (greeting and explanatory work); physical examination; presentation of risk information; decision-making discussions; and closure work.
First-level analyses used a general linear model with multiple explanatory variables, which were presentation of word cues, trial-by-trial dyspnea and anxiety ratings of word cues, random letter strings, and periods when subjects were rating using the VAS.
Currently, presentation of explanatory models for CFS/ME forms introductory aspects of patient therapeutic programs (Wearden et al., 2010; White et al., 2011); those that are physiologically based may be more acceptable to patient groups (Castell et al., 2011) and may also be beneficial for significant others.
First used at least as early as the beginning of the 1970s, the concept of "the language of the genes" has become a recurring explanatory tool in popular presentations of molecular genetics (Chargaff, 1971; Jones, 1993).
This is followed by a presentation of the explanatory variables used.
