In our work, the set-up was the same for all risk factors: both types of influence (operationalization) were evaluated; the spatial influence was taken as the third quartile of distances to the closest point; and the size of the grid was 100 by 100, which is the approximate distance of a block in Bogota.
The direct sequence evaluates attention and information storage capacity, whereas the reverse sequence assesses working memory and mind control for the operationalization of information.
The cognitive tests used for correlation with RTT were the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [ 32, 33] (global cognitive screening), semantic verbal fluency (FVS) [ 34] (semantic memory and executive functions), direct digit span [ 35] (attention and information storage capacity), and reverse digit span [ 35] (working memory and mind control for the operationalization of information).
However, a precise translation from behavior to cognition requires a better operationalization of concepts such as short-term memory, long-term memory, working memory, encoding, storage, retrieval, attention than is currently available.
Results of this study imply no direct recommendations for clinicians working with patients, but indirectly, the results may be useful to clinicians to be aware that the operationalization of the FC construct in healthy workers differs from patients.
Although our experimental operationalization of these cognitive components contributes to the growing literature on the superiority of Met alleles in working memory tasks, we did not uncover any frank advantage of the Val alleles in any condition.
Bentham would give these basic postulates exposition, argumentative support, and further refinement in the decades following, but it was the operationalization of the utility principle that absorbed most of his energy and time during a long and highly productive working life.
Number of night shifts worked last year (NNL) was used as operationalization of night work load.
The process allows operationalization of the frailty index to be carried out in other datasets.
There are additional policy measures that might work, such as improving clinicians' awareness and understanding of prioritization, operationalization of the prioritization criteria and the development of instruments that may aid raters in assessing the same criteria.
