Many studies, using diverse methodologies, converge in identifying distinct ventral versus dorsal brain systems that are used in perception and memory.
Five studies, using diverse methodologies, distinct consumption experiences, and different manipulations, demonstrate the novel finding that savoring an upcoming consumption experience heightens enjoyment of the experience both as it unfolds in real time (ongoing enjoyment) and how it is remembered (remembered enjoyment).
Both studies use diverse methodologies to illustrate a range of inter-related costs that contribute to pastoralist displacement and the promotion of unpopular management practices in eastern Ethiopia (Kebede and Coppock 2015).
Genetic studies using diverse methodologies have uncovered a deep population structure within domesticated rice.
Different cross-sectional studies using diverse methodologies have reported that helminth infections might either exacerbate or reduce the severity of malaria attacks.
In order to describe the conditions limiting and facilitating successful implementation and assemble a broad knowledge base from studies with diverse methodologies and methods, we used a narrative synthesis approach.
For pneumonia, sensitivity and PPV hovered around 40%, although the studies used very diverse methodologies (figure 3D, see online supplementary S5D).
Our social science disciplines apply both quantitative scientific and interpretive humanistic methodologies to study diverse patterns of human behavior, social structures and cultural and social change.
However, despite the availability of appropriate and accepted methodologies, studies we reviewed here used diverse methodologies and were of widely divergent quality – some with major weaknesses, and, presumably therefore resulting in differing estimates of mortality.
An integrative review differs from a systematic review in that it allows inclusion of diverse methodologies (including both experimental and non-experimental studies), and takes a broader range of studies (both theoretical and empirical) into consideration [ 2].
A narrative summary of findings is provided as the range of tools identified, the diverse methodologies, and the lack of replication studies precluded the meaningful use of meta-analytic techniques to aggregate the results.
