28 Finally, we establish transferability through our inclusion of a large number of narratives from a diverse sample of trainees and trainers across three different UK countries.
Realist evaluation offers a halfway house between quantitative generalisability and qualitative transferability through the generation of concrete, explanatory 'middle range' theories suitable for testing in future studies.
The proposed simple model (incorporated into a CDSS) results in health care quality improvement, cost-effective clinical decision making, and adaptability and transferability through different health care environments (either organizations or countries).
For all 50 SETS, essential characteristics are provided that include primary mode (i.e., individual or collaborative), activity focus (i.e., writing, reading, discussing, etc)., duration of activity (single or multiple sessions), and online transferability (low through high, with some SETS designed to be used online).
In qualitative research, generalizability (transferability) is enhanced through theory, not through the comparability of the sample to the population [ 25].
Quantitative parameters are based on models described by Tofts et al. [41] and include the transferability of gadolinium through the vascular endothelium (Ktrans), the fractional volume of the extracellular space (ve), and the relationship between these two parameters (kep).
However, inclusion of too many inter-correlated variables or biologically irrelevant predictors may hamper the transferability of SDMs through space and time [ 73- 76].
Transferability was achieved through purposive selection of informants with different background characteristics such as sex, age, parity, profession, educational level and SES (27).
Finally, transferability was promoted through a thick description of the settings, sample and methods, as well as the inclusion of four distinct settings.
Since fresh produce (including lettuce) is often served at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius), we studied whether this temperature allows for the transferability of DNA through mechanisms such as increased pili formation or type IV secretion systems [ 41].
Transferability was enhanced through the method of data collection, choice of study participants, and method of analysis (26), as these aspects may potentially be transferrable to similar settings provided the specific features of that context are included.
