Metaphorical Analysis

The purpose of this study is to describe female students’ experiences in an engineering living-learning program using metaphorical analysis through a constructivist theoretical perspective. Extant literature uses metaphors from a negative viewpoint or a deficit model to describe the experiences of female undergraduates in engineering; however, new metaphors have not been used to describe the experience. This study aims to fill existing gaps in LLP literature using qualitative methods. Data from 13 semi-structured individual interviews (7 initial interviews and 6 follow-up interviews) serve as the primary data source. After conducting metaphorical analysis, I found five interpretive metaphors emerging: LLP as a Starting Point, LLP as a Neighborhood, Engineering Classes as Challenges, Different as Normal, and Female Engineers as a Support System. Two significant findings were found: advantage-based metaphors are used to provide a positive description of women in engineering and metaphorical analysis is an appropriate method for conducting research under the constructivist theoretical perspective.

We discuss the integration of naturalistic decision making theoretical perspective and cognitive task analysis methods (CTA) in a PhD level qualitative methods courses offered to applied health sciences students. Students planned and executed a mini CTA project that included identification of a research question, development of a proposal with an interview guide, recruitment of participants, data collection and analysis, and documentation. We share a reading list and discuss the benefits and challenges of offering this course project.

Quantitative And Qualitative Methods

Working in the long historical shadow of what has been taken to be debates between quantitative and qualitative methods, Osatuke and Stiles (2011), Westerman (2011), and Yanchar (2011) seek to move beyond those debates and even the various détentes posed in mixed-methods research. Their projects can be assessed in terms of this seemingly permanent shadow and also within a broader framing of the political, ethical, epistemic, and ontological stakes that abide in methodological decisions. Taking a broad historical and meta-theoretical perspective illuminates both the boldness and the limitations of the three papers. Especially notable are their procedures for abandoning the Archimedean distanced observational stance, replacing it with intersubjective, relational processes of knowledge seeking.

Laparoskopische Cholezystektomie

Die laparoskopische Cholezystektomie hat sich in weniger als zehn Jahren seit ihrer Einführung im Jahre 1986 zum Gold-Standard in der Behandlung des unkomplizierten und komplizierten Gallensteinleidens entwickelt. Aufgrund ihres durchschlagenden Erfolges ist sie zum Trendsetter der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie geworden, die auf allen Gebieten der Chirurgie die Behandlungsmethoden revolutioniert hat. Obwohl für uns heute selbstverständlich, blickt die minimal-invasive Chirurgie auf eine langwierige und hindernisreiche Entwicklungsgeschichte zurück. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen kurzen Überblick über die Geschichte der Laparoskopie und der laparoskopischen Cholezystektomie sowie deren Auswirkung auf die Entwicklung der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie zu geben.
