Cultural Consensus Model of Depression Beliefs Among Afghan Refugees
… levels were also collected. The Cultural Consensus Model was used to estimate the culturally correct answer for each question, and to assess the proportion of shared beliefs within and between groups. Results from consensus analysis indicated a homogenous response pattern present for each …

A Consensus Model for Electroencephalogram Data Via the S-Transform
<p>A consensus model combines statistical methods with signal processing to create a better picture of the family of related signals. In this thesis, we will consider 32 signals produced by a single electroencephalogram (EEG) recording session. The consensus model will be produced by using the …

Development of a computational consensus model for the in silico prediction of the skin sensitising potential of organic chemicals in the context of REACH
… Unterschiede zwischen den eingesetzten Tiermodellen herausgelesen werden konnten. In den Untersuchungen trat auch zu Tage, dass – entgegen vorheriger Annahmen – die Bioverfügbarkeit, d.h. die Aufnahme von Substanzen über die Haut, im Tierversuch nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt. Zudem …

Secondary school science teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in their classroom practice
… key outputs of these summits were theoretical consensus models of PCK (Carlson & Daehler, 2019; Gess-Newsome, 2015). This study builds on novel emerging ideas in the first PCK consensus model (Gess-Newsome, 2015). These consensus models stressed the need for examination of PCK in classroom …

Ensemble models to assess the risk of exotic plant pathogens in a changing climate
In recent decades, species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely used in many ecological, environmental and climate-change research studies to model invasive species establishment. These models associate recorded locations of species with environmental variables. Nevertheless, the few studies …

Practice Authority For Advanced Practice Registered Nurses: Troubling Trends In Regulatory Variability
… APRNs upon licensure is defined in the uniform Consensus Model and supported by extensive peer-reviewed research. Legislators are justified in adopting uniform laws and full practice authority upon licensure for APRNs. Uniform regulation resolves the interstate regulation disorder, improves APRN …

Storytelling in Appreciative Inquiry
… of organizational change that orients around a consensus model building on individual and collective strengths instead of focusing on overcoming problems. Interviews with 12 Appreciative Inquiry practitioners were conducted, transcribed, and analyzed using a process of iterative coding …

Modelling Β2Ar Regulation
… Towards that end we have developed deterministic models that explore the mechanism of drug- induced β2AR regulation. These mathematical models can be classified into three classes; (i) Six quantitative models of SABA-induced G protein coupled receptor kinase (GRK)-mediated β2AR regulation; (ii) …

How much does trust cost? : analysis of the consensus mechanism of distributed ledger technology and use-cases in securitization
… how blockchain has achieved decentralized consensus, a remarkable innovation by: 1) validating transactions based on cryptograph technologies and implicit incentives; 2) extending blockchain networks based on a process of randomization. The success of emerging distributed ledger technology …

Collective belief models for representing consensus and divergence in communities of Bayesian decision-makers
… belief aggregation is the process of forming a consensus model from the probabilistic beliefs of multiple individuals. Preference aggregation attempts to find an optimal solution for a population considering each individual's beliefs, desires and objectives. Belief and preference aggregation …

Collaborative CoRe design for year 10 electricity and magnetism: Professional development for enhancing practising science teachers' PCK
… Summit was in 2012, where a key output was a Consensus Model of PCK. The second Summit was in 2016, where researchers critiqued the use of that model, and discussed future PCK research. Outcomes of the second Summit are being published in the book Repositioning PCK in Teachers’ Professional …

Development of a Dignity Experience Scale in Mental Healthcare. Co-creating Empirical Measures with Service Users and Healthcare Professionals
… of dignity experiences. It proposes a consensus model for the mechanisms of dignity co-production and the first Dignity Experience Scale found in mental healthcare, co-created with service users (SUs) and HCPs. The study uses a sequential mixed methods approach to knowledge co-creation …

Public opinion, crime and the police in Preston, c.1815-1914
… or not the relationship fits either of the two models of nineteenth century policing; the 'conflict' model identified by Robert Storch and the consensus' model proposed by Charles Reith. Attempts are also made to discover whether or not there was a discernible pattern to the developing …

Consensus decision-making at Guilford College: a case study analysis
The Quaker tradition of consensus decision-making provides a provocative approach to internal governance in Quaker related colleges and universities. Guilford College, a small, private, liberal arts college with Quaker roots in Greensboro, North Carolina, employs the consensus model in college …

Reconceptualising Parkinson’s from illness to wellness: Advancing physiotherapy practice through Action Research
… new knowledge to construct a socially-driven consensus model. The message of interdependence and hope that enables people affected by Parkinson’s to remain well is what the thesis contributes to physiotherapy practice and knowledge. In the current political climate pushing self-management and …

Towards an interactive management approach to performance improvement in bureaucratic organization
… should be grounded in the 'interaction' and 'consensus' 'model interchanging' of stakeholders. Based on this idea, we propose an intervention framework for diagnosing pathological pattern within bureaucratic organization. The framework is applied to one of South Africa's biggest local …

Computational approaches to predicting drug induced toxicity
Novel approaches and models for predicting drug induced toxicity in silico are presented. Typically, these were based on Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR). The following endpoints were modelled: mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, inhibition of the hERG ion channel and the associated …

Structure-based Predictions for Molecular Initiating Events
… In this project, new structural alert-based models for receptor binding MIEs have been constructed that create accurate, transparent and interpretable predictions. The alerts have been constructed with an automated workflow that uses Bayesian statistics to iteratively select substructures …

Beijing Consensus: alternative for Africa's development challenges? The case for Zimbabwe
The research aimed to study whether the Beijing Consensus, a Chinese development model is an alternative development model for Africa. The study used Zimbabwe's plan to collateralise its natural resources mainly minerals under the Angola Model strategy as a test case. Zimbabwe's economic revival is …
