With increasing use of the modules in various countries will help in further development with necessary adaptations as required.
Yet, as in the case of the poverty studies earlier, the Indian epistemic community seems to be remarkably impervious to, if not altogether oblivious of, the cumulative body of knowledge in European and North American countries developments that are highly pertinent for the Indian context, albeit with necessary adaptations.
The nucleotide polymorphisms we observed in some membrane protein-coding genes between the FD92 genome and our RNA-Seq data are consistent with the necessary adaptations of the bacterium to its complex and changing relationship with the host.
The Muslim majority always favoured the use of the Arabic script with some necessary adaptations to record Sindhi sounds.
It could have left already armed with the necessary adaptations, or more technically, exaptations (i.e., dsDNA, cell walls, etc)., to contend with a brave new world of intense UV radiation, drastic variations in temperature, salinity, and pH, and surrounded by a potential windfall of unused resources if, and that's a big if, life were capable of exploiting them.
The first author performed the same search, with the necessary adaptations, in the other three databases.
However, we expect that the results of this study can be implemented in other institutions, with some necessary adaptations.
The pediatric cognitive interviewing methodology followed the general principles of the PROMIS Network [ 3], with the necessary adaptations required for children as young as 8 years of age, relying in part on the cognitive interviewing methodology utilized in the development of the PedsQL™ instruments [ 8] and the work of Willis [ 9].
Despite these limitations, we were able to apply this developmental screening tool in a community-based study in a low-income Peruvian population, and with further validation to study cut-off scores and any necessary adaptations with a larger, normative sample the ASQ may be an effective tool for identifying at-risk children in resource-poor areas of Latin America.
A bilingual expert of the field, often a physician, compared the translations from the scientific perspective and in a discussion with the coordinator of the translation necessary adaptations or corrections were made, and followed by a backward translation.
We hope that others will be able to use this protocol to replicate the study, with necessary local adaptations, to enable further comparisons.
