The problem lies in the existence of a number of overlapping approaches that nevertheless fail to meet the needs of policy-makers for an integrated methodology for assessment [ 10, 19, 60, 63] – a function in part of the differences in scientific perspective, inconsistencies in concept and somewhat lax use of terminology that have pervaded much of the research on assessment in the past.
If those three perspectives exemplify inconsistency in the field, the work of Dewey, Boud, Schön, Kolb, Moon, and Mezirow exemplifies shared ground between reflection theories and used terms.
But from a purely logical perspective, hatred of inconsistency is more than reasonable since belief in a single inconsistency forces one to believe any premise no matter how ridiculous.
An instrument that considers multiple perspectives [ 56] such as the patients', the physicians', or the observers' perspective showed substantial inconsistency between them [ 57].
He always strove to correlate his thoughts and actions to be able to see in the right perspective the apparent inconsistencies and compromises which, on the surface, seem to be irreconcilable.
To put the implications of these inconsistencies into perspective, it might help to highlight that the change in AMI incidence resulting from these inconsistencies is of a magnitude similar to that of the change in AMI incidence occurring when switching clinically from a conventional cTn assay to an hs-cTn assay.
Distortions and inconsistencies of perspective also give it a quality of Cubist jumbling.
This lack of focus on the patient perspective could explain the inconsistencies seen in conventional evaluations using the societal perspective [ 5- 7]. 3. Analytic Methods As discussed above, the panel generally agreed that the same methods should be used to evaluate conventional therapies and CAIM, though the methods may need to be tailored to better fit the latter.
We were able to study the natural history of CKD from both the patient and provider perspectives, which revealed inconsistencies in the minds of nephrologists on timing of access placement in relation to the natural history of progression of advanced CKD.
Classifying metabolic inconsistencies from a topological perspective allowed us to think of such inconsistencies in terms of bottlenecks, paths and branching ratios, etc.
