Rivlin, Fazel, Marzano, & Hawton (2012) utilised a number of instruments including the Social Support Scale (SSS) (an instrument which measures elements of social capital) in a study which explored suicide behaviours among male inmates from 19 prisons in England.
While the EssenCES measure does not directly capture social capital, it measures elements of social capital such as safety, inmates' social cohesion and mutual support (whereby the care expressed between inmates is measured), and hold and support (a measure of the level of support provided by staff to inmates).
The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index or PES-NWI [ 24], was used to measure elements of nurses' work environments.
Recently, the Health Literacy Measurement Scale (HeLMS) was developed to measure elements of health literacy beyond numeracy and reading comprehension and thereby overcome many of the perceived limitations of existing instruments [ 24].
Within a review of 235 implementation studies only 53 used theory in any way – to inform study design, develop or design the implementation intervention, and/or describe or measure elements of process for post hoc interpretation – and only 14 were explicitly theory-based [ 6].
We also measured elements contents of the 1963-section (secontainingaining the 1963 137Cs-peak) of each core to check whether the spatial patterns are also the case for sediments deposited at the same period.
Lack of uniformity of measured elements makes it impossible to incorporate the majority of these studies into a meta-analysis.
The concentrations of the measured elements in the liver and kidneys of the cats did only slightly differ depending on the sex of the animals (Table 2).
The concentrations of the measured elements in the liver and kidneys of the cats with or without a CKD are summarized in Table 4.
Different parameters, like the number of measured elements, data offset, spot number, or the time between spots, can be adjusted.
