En este trabajo se expone una propuesta teórica-metodológica para la reconstrucción microhistórica de los procesos de gestión ambiental que a través del tiempo reconfiguraron los paisajes culturales del territorio mexicano. El análisis se plantea desde un enfoque fenomenológico e interdisciplinario, con el auxilio de métodos mixtos ―cualitativos y cuantitativos― tomados de las técnicas metodológicas de investigación trazadas por Luis González y González. La entrevista a profundidad; la observación personal; la consulta de fuentes bibliográficas y de archivo histórico; la fotografía antigua y contemporánea; y, las reuniones de diálogo colegiado, son algunas de las técnicas metodológicas que se proponen para el levantamiento de la información. Esta propuesta busca ser una herramienta científica para la comprensión de los procesos socioambientales que definen, estructuran y alteran el significado de los paisajes del territorio nacional.   This work presents a theoretical-methodological proposal for the microhistorical reconstruction of the environmental management processes that over time configured landscapes of the Mexican territory. The analysis is proposed from a phenomenological and interdisciplinary approach, with the help of mixed methods ―qualitative and quantitative― taken from the methodological research techniques outlined by Luis González and González. The in-depth interview; personal observation; consultation of bibliographic and historical archive sources; ancient and contemporary photography; and the collegiate dialogue meetings are some of the methodological techniques that are proposed for gathering information. This proposal seeks to be a scientific tool for understanding the socio-environmental processes that define, structure and alter the meaning of the contemporary landscapes of the national territory.

Speaking Skills

The purposes of the research were to find out whether the communicative competence in English speaking skills had a significant relationship with students' cognitive abilities was English speaking skill the most important achievement. How cognitive abilities and communicative competencies in English speaking skills were managed for the primary purposes of the English debating team. This research combined both qualitative and quantitative research. It used a descriptive method by distributing questionnaire, doing a survey, using observation, and doing an in-depth interview as the methods to collect data. The informants were twelve students who participated in the national teams of English Debating Championship of Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta from 2013-2017. The results of this research reveal that there is a significant connection between communicative competence and cognitive ability in which cognitive ability has an important impact on thinking, critical analysis, and creativity. Furthermore, cognitive ability gives a direct influence on communicative competence in speaking English. This communicative competence is reflected in the ability to produce critical-intellectual andcommunicative-factual sentences in doing the analysis and giving the argumentation.

Over Time

Over half of people with critical illness are older adults, and the number of older adults admitted to intensive care units has been increasing over time. Older adults have increased vulnerability to disease, disability, and adverse outcomes across many domains. To address this most effectively, a unique, interdisciplinary approach is necessary to optimize not only survival but also functional status and quality of life. A shortage of health care professionals equipped to care for the aging population makes it imperative that all professionals become aware of basic principles of caring for older adults. To equip them to care for this complex population, this chapter provides an overview of how aging impacts multiple domains of an older person with critical illness and describes evidence-based approaches to caring for older adults with critical illness.

This study is carried out in Nglinggo rural tourism destination located in Pagerharjo village, Samigaluh sub-district, Kulon Progo regency in Yogyakarta. This research is aimed at revealing the application CBT principles implemented in the management of the rural tourism attraction as well as finding supporting factors and obstacles on the application of the CBT principles. This study also traces why such factors and obstacles occur. This research applies both qualitative and quantitative techniques in obtaining primary and secondary data. The primary data is collected by questionnaires, in- depth interview and observation, while the secondary data is obtained mainly from local authority’s website of Office of Tourism of Kulon Progo Regency.This study suggests that local people are aware on the importance of involvement in managing their village as an attraction. Meanwhile, supporting factors of the application of CBT principles are natural resources, local people cohesion, contribution to local people, local community involvement, existence of supporting institution, management commitment, and local authority’s support. On the other hand, obstacle found in the application of the CBT principles are education and people readiness.

Official data in Spain show that women's activity rate is increasing, and women's unemployment rate is decreasing during the last years. Nevertheless, both of these indicators continue being higher in men, although this difference is reduced over time because the women's participation in the labour market continues growing. In this chapter, the main objective is to analyse the added value that women bring to organisations. A qualitative study is carried out, based in an in-depth interview conducted for women that work in the Autonomous Community of Madrid (Spain). Results show the women's perception about their added value in the organisations that is mainly manifest in aspects such as commitment, equanimity, work organisation, creativity, collaboration, and empathy (called “velvet management”). Women bring innovation and creativity in an environment of diversity. Nevertheless, there are still some cultural barriers that affect the family and professional life of women that limit their professional career.

ABSTRACTTo understand the interplay of factors that shape changes in management strategies, we tracked the evolution of beluga whale co-management involving the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Fisheries Joint Management Committee (FJMC), and the Tuktoyaktuk Hunter and Trapper Committee from its beginnings in the mid-1980s to the present. The objective was to analyse changes over time in the communication network involved in dealing with the Husky Lakes beluga entrapment issue, using social network analysis (SNA). Along with qualitative information, the use of SNA provided quantitative data to document the development of co-management over time. According to both government and indigenous parties, a fully functional problem-solving partnership developed over the course of two decades. Using the beluga case as the illustration, we traced the development of joint management processes, overcoming some of the initial obstacles and accommodating the needs of the various parties. This case demonstrates the importance of legal arrangements (the indigenous land claims agreement), the role of key individuals and the bridging organisation (FJMC) created by the agreement, and the maturation of co-management over time.

25 Background: Cancer cachexia affects 60-80% of advanced cancer patients and leads to weight loss, worsening functional status, and increased mortality. Thus, specialized clinics are needed to measure nutritional and functional trajectories over time in this population. Recently, the McGill University Health Centre has developed a systematic, standardized and interdisciplinary approach for the profiling and management of cancer cachexia. Methods: Patients with advanced cancer were recruited and categorized as cachetic. The following information was collected at baseline and at three follow-up visits: hand grip strength measured by Jamar dynamometer, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and the abridged Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (aPG-SGA) questionnaires. Results: Fifty-nine patients were eligible for this study yet only 24 completed 3 follow-ups and were included. There were 15 men and 9 women, mean age 65.7 years. Five patients had locally advanced disease and 19 had metastatic disease. The table contains results for handgrip strength, ESAS and aPG-SGA scores. Conclusions: Following baseline assessment and treatment, patients were noted to have a significant improvement in the aPG-SGA total score. Handgrip strength was maintained throughout the follow up period. ESAS appetite and fatigue exhibited a positive trend but did not achieve significance over time. This work suggests the benefits of an interdisciplinary cachexia clinic for the maintenance of nutritional and functional status in patients with cancer cachexia as well as possible improvements in quality of life.

Purpose – With the rapid growth of consumer sales being fulfilled through omni-channel retailing, the purpose of this paper is to explore the subsequent impact on the levels of consumer retail returns experienced through online sales and the emergent returns management strategies being affected by retailers in relation to network configuration and returns management processes. Design/methodology/approach – The authors uses a mixed methods approach from an interpretive perspective. It is appropriate to describe the approach in terms of convergent design, since the authors have collected both qualitative and quantitative data. Findings – Return rates for online retailing can be double those for stores, while return levels for “considered purchases” remain similar. The findings suggest that omni-channel returns management has yet to fully mature and the authors find challenges for network design and returns processes in offering a seamless solution. Research limitations/implications – For practitioners the authors identify a number of challenges and offer insights to improve performance in returns management process, while for academic colleagues the authors propose a number of avenues for further research both in the qualitative and quantitative fields. Originality/value – While a significant body of extant literature exists, in researching the generalized retail returns management process this paper make a contribution by addressing the emergent managerial implications of omni-channel retail returns.

Measuring the polarization of legislators and parties is a key step in understanding how politics develops over time. But in parliamentary systems—where ideological positions estimated from roll calls may not be informative—producing valid estimates is extremely challenging. We suggest a new measurement strategy that makes innovative use of the “accuracy” of machine classifiers, i.e., the number of correct predictions made as a proportion of all predictions. In our case, the “labels” are the party identifications of the members of parliament, predicted from their speeches along with some information on debate subjects. Intuitively, when the learner is able to discriminate members in the two main Westminster parties well, we claim we are in a period of “high” polarization. By contrast, when the classifier has low accuracy—and makes a relatively large number of mistakes in terms of allocating members to parties based on the data—we argue parliament is in an era of “low” polarization. This approach is fast and substantively valid, and we demonstrate its merits with simulations, and by comparing the estimates from 78 years of House of Commons speeches with qualitative and quantitative historical accounts of the same. As a headline finding, we note that contemporary British politics is approximately as polarized as it was in the mid-1960s—that is, in the middle of the “postwar consensus”. More broadly, we show that the technical performance of supervised learning algorithms can be directly informative about substantive matters in social science.

Phonetic transcriptions of babbling samples from 11 normally hearing subjects, age 4–18 months, were compared with samples from 11 hearing-impaired subjects, age 4–28 months. Longitudinal data were available for all hearing babies and for 8 of the 11 hearing-impaired subjects. The analysis focused on two measures: (a) size of consonantal repertoire over time and (b) proportional occurrence of multisyllabic consonant-vowel utterances. On average, the normally hearing subjects evidenced an increase in size of their consonantal repertoires with age; in contrast, the hearing-impaired subjects in the same age range had smaller repertoires that decreased over time. Comparison of multisyllabic utterances revealed a general tendency for the hearing-impaired subjects to produce fewer multisyllabic utterances containing true consonants and for some of the hearing-impaired children to produce a high proportion of vocalizations with glides or glottal stops. These findings suggest both qualitative and quantitative differences in the babbling of the two groups.

Initially founded in 1955 as a platform for Dutch photojournalists to increase international exposure, the World Press Photo competition has grown into the most prestigious contest of photojournalism worldwide, making it an important arena for journalism research. Using qualitative and quantitative content analyses, this study examines all photos shown in the competitions from 1960 to 2020 (N = 11,789) considering the origin of jury members (N = 686), participants (N = 132,800), placements (N = 2347) and the Human Development Index (HDI) of the countries. The topics displayed on the photos, their degree of negativity, and potential power structures in the photos are analysed over time both in terms of continental and HDI-related differences. Significant results show that Africa, Asia, and South America are more frequently depicted by the topic conflict and characterised by negative images than continents with industrialised nations (Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America). Participating European countries have a significantly higher average number of jury members, participants, and placements than participating countries from Africa, Asia, and South America, which seems to account for a dominant Eurocentric view. Implications and critical discussions are summarized in three interim conclusions at the end of this extended paper.
