While the general trend was identified and theorized by a number of scholars (Green, 2007; Joppke, 2007a, 2007b), it was first more precisely operationalized by Sara Wallace Goodman (2010, 2012a).
As acknowledged in the preceding article, while Quality of Life is broadly conceptualized, it is most often more narrowly operationalized by disease-specific HRQL measures.
The four studies had different designs and protocols for covariate assessments, thus, there were only limited options to more precisely operationalize some of these covariates in ways that would still be consistent across the studies.
This may suggest that governmental triggers, e.g., in the form of carbon taxes or emission limits, can be operationalized more easily than customer and other stakeholder expectations that are less tangible and sometimes fuzzy, and thus more difficult to measure.
To analyze the package-opening process more thoroughly, we operationalized our model as a structural equation model and estimated it using Smart PLS (v.3.2.1) (Ringle et al. 2015).
However, surveilling certain mosques - or any houses of worship -- based upon credible information indicating they foment radicalization could more readily be operationalized and pass constitutional muster.
The use of theoretical foundations is considered important in in complex health care issues, but theory has been operationalized more conceptually than empirically within the literature on patient-centered care, as indicated by the fact that only one randomized control trial was identified.
The second group contains utopian landscape goals which are more visionary but also more difficult to operationalize, especially for local authorities which play major part in the implementation of the NEOs in Sweden.
Because this overarching framework was operationalized into more comprehensible and manageable objectives such as reducing cancellations and making care more patient-centered, ownership of the change process was felt at the microsystem and team levels.
For qualitatively measuring, assessing and comparing different (integrated) scenario methodologies and their resulting scenarios, scenario traceability and scenario consistency need to be more precisely defined and operationalized.
