Meta-ethics

You made the leap. You decided to either start your own business or to join the Internet world and create your own Web presence. Either way, one word comes to mind in this new venture: Budget. In a down turned economy many businesses are getting serious about their budgets. Expenses that are not must-haves or that don 't have a really good return on investment (ROI) are quickly shuffled to the back of the pile and placed on a wish list. Unfortunately, many times this includes the IT department,

preclinical studies are far enough, by 2002, the lancet outlined a scientific rational for conducting SRs on animal studies, after that, manny SR and meta-analysis of in-vitro studies were published(1) Including studies discussing the modeling of cerebrovascular disease(2) So like SR and Meta-analysis on humans, the quality assessment and risk of bias in SR and meta- analysis of in-vitro studies needs to be tested and examined. (1) Empirical evidence reports that too many

EQ-5D VAS) in ten studies (21-30), time trade off in one study (28), and EQ-5D utility in seven studies (24-27, 31-33). The estimates vary across included studies, from 25.9 to 58 with VAS measurement, and 0.43 to 0.74 with EQ-5D utility. We conducted meta-analysis using the inverse variance method to pool the estimates based on VAS and EQ-5D, yielding utility of exacerbation of 46.22 (95% CI: 45.30-47.13, I2 = 98.2%, P < 0.001 for the heterogeneity test) on a 0-100 visual analogue scale, and 0.519 (95%

Fall is defined as an event that results someone coming from a higher to a lower level with a sudden uncontrollable descent. Statistics show that one in three people who are aged over 60 years old experience at least one fall per year; 9% of them will lead them to an emergency room visit and 5-6% results different degrees of fracture (Bischoff-Ferrari, Dawson-Hughes & Staehelim, 2009). After their admissions to hospitals, only approximately half of them will still be alive the next year. Injuries

A Critical Review of Meta-Analysis Abstract Meta-analysis has been much debated and criticized since its creation, and it has been argued that systematic reviews are superior. The present study examined the reverse idea – that meta-analysis is the superior method. A literature search was conducted of meta-analysis studies for psychotherapy within the PsycINFO database. The resulting studies were further examined and classified as either primary articles or secondary articles. Primary articles

Evidence-based practice requires ready access to external evidence that can lead to up-to-date clinical decision making. Meanwhile, libraries have been under growing funding pressure when physiotherapists have been adapting evidence-based practice. Journal subscription prices have increased intensely past ten years in the field of medicine, the average price increase over this period was 304% (Albee & Dingley 2000). A lot of library budgets are unable to afford such increases and libraries have had

The Effects of Reading Instruction on Students of Low-Socioeconomic Status Amelia K.L.

size and study quality. The evaluation research done for this question was physician order entry system, drug prescription system, and more quantitative. Whereas the third question was quality of reviews and meta-analyses that asked are there more systematic and narrative reviews or more meta-analyses referenced in the database and do most of them draw positive, neutral or negative conclusion (Machan, 2006). Also, asked if there is an issue of publication bias being dealt with by the

Persuasion is the act of changing individuals’ attitudes or behaviours; this is all around us in everyday life especially in the media. Persuasion has shown to be effective however there are some attempts that fail, in this essay I will explain why persuasion doesn’t always work. The factors I will look at are reactance, counterarguing, avoidance, forewarning and attitude inoculation. Reactance theory can explain why some persuasion attempts fail. This suggests that a persistent attempt to persuade
