In exploratory researches we are looking for clues, trying to get a better picture of the research variables and relationships. Besides variables already studied, identified in the literature review, we might deal with specific variables – for the investigated subject and socio-cultural region – ...
Identified national and international datasets (n = 6) contained a median of 89 (IQR:61–154) variables, with many relating to research-specific initiatives. Maternal antenatal/intrapartum history was the largest variable category (21, 23.3%). The Neonatal Inpatient Dataset (NID) includes 60...
The Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI, 2019) has proposed a benchmark reference for internationally agreed indices of climate extremes calculated from daily climatological variables to facilitate comparison and to analyse changes in climate extremes (WMO, 2009). These ...
Mental and social variables as operationalisation of health in the calculation of health expectancyRoelands, Mvan Oyen, H C N CB
Therefore, operationalisations are suggested here for aspects of both the independent and the dependent variables of Europeanisation. The empirical material used in this paper to briefly illustrate the concepts introduced, stems from a collaborative research project that analyses the national transposition...
The holistic indicator grouped participants into three health profiles: (1) good health for most variables; (2) very good perceived and physical health, but poor mental health; and (3) poor health for most variables. Using mixed methods to bridge the concept of health defined in qualitative ...
HIGHER education researchOPERATIONAL definitionsSEX discrimination in educationQuantitative approaches, based on numerical analyses of operationalised variables, used to present teaching and learning trends in higher education, are pervasive. However, teaching and learning trends disaggrega...
This research demonstrates the applicability of the six variables otherwise known as the ‘brand image framework’ to the political environment. However, the application of the brand image framework in its original conceptualisation proved problematic. Many of the brand image variables were clarified, ...
Investigating the measurement and operationalisation of obesity-related parenting variables of overweight fathers in the Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids community programPurpose/aim: The Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids (HDHK) pilot study was found to be efficacious in engaging overweight fathers to lose weight, ...
Then, we elaborate on each of the identified facets and processes in sequence, critically exploring the different ways these components are formulated. We end with some concluding remarks and recommendations for further research. 2. Background 2.1. Historical Overview The first influential use of MHC...
