The total number of clinical trials in Portugal has recently experienced a reduction in a 12 13 worrying trend revealing a significant loss of competitiveness in this field. Between 2006 and 14 2012 the number of trials decreased by 26%, i.e. from 160 to 118 studies. The trough in these 16 numbers only arrived in 2011, when just 88 studies took place. This trend shall only either 17 18 prevent or hinder the achievement of social and/or political benefits, such as the improvement 19

Different researchers have carried out research on the effects of alcohol on people’s health, on people’s attention to different activities and their general well-being. The following are some of the researches that have been carried out by different researchers on factors that affect people’s social attention that may be of importance in carrying out this research. According to Roberts, W., Miller, M. A., Weafer, J., & Fillmore, M. T. (2014), these researchers carried out a research on how alcohol

A STUDY BASED ON ROSENBERG’S RESEARCH (1979) Abstract The development of children’s identity particularly their self-perceptions, is of a widespread interest. This small-scale study was based on previous research by Rosenberg (1979). The aim was to determine the differences between self-descriptions and the shift of the locus of self-knowledge with age. The design involved semi-structured interviews of two participants aged 8 and 16 years. The participants wrote some statements about who they

I will begin my analysis by explaining the basis of institutional talk – Drew and Heritage (1992b) identify two types of institutional conversation – formal and informal. In formal interaction, participation is focused on particular tasks with a goal to be achieved, and tends to have a fairly rigid, stricter structure. Institutional conversations are more constrained in what will be taken as allowable contributions to the conversation, and inferences will be based on the business or task at hand

Methods Participants There were 135 participants in this study; 57 were male (43%) and 77 were female (57%), and one participant did not report gender. Participants age ranged from 16 to 60 (M = 24.08, SD = 7.84). This sample consisted of 77% Hispanic (N = 104), 11% Caucasian (N = 15), 5% African American (N = 7), 4% Asian (N = 6), and 2% who reported another ethnicity (N = 3). Materials and Procedure Participants willing to take-part in this study were asked for an oral informed consent. An

Each of the three cycles included one initial draft writing session, one elaborating ideas session and one changing vocabulary session. Each of the inquiry cycles had a different authentic context and topic focus and each session involved links to reading programme (Appendix ?). Although text structure and topic knowledge was not an explicit focus of the intervention, it is recognised as an essential foundation of expert writing. Therefore the deconstruction of mentor texts, analysis of text structure

In comparison to the reversal design mentioned in Chapter 4, the multiple baseline design is useful when testing a treatment that produces irreversible effects, such as teaching a reading technique. Similar to a reversal design, a multiple baseline design starts with a baseline condition, proceeding with a treatment condition. Alternatively, a researcher using a multiple baseline design does not repeat a baseline measurement after the treatment is implemented. This design was originally developed

Based on Tom’s feelings of anger, the theory of emotion described in the text that best fits his feelings at the time is cognitive-appraisal theory. The cognitive-appraisal theory states that “if a person notices a particular psychological response, that person has to decide what it means before he or she can feel an emotion” (Baird 195). In Tom’s case, about halfway through his Milgram’s experiment, his heartrate starts increasing and he starts sweating. He then stands up angry and declares that

The treatment of stammering has been reported as one of the least popular aspects of the speech and language therapist’s caseload (St Louis et al1993 cited in Crichton-smith 2002) and speech therapists give negative personality traits to people who stammer (Ruscello et al 1989). The purpose of this study will be to investigate whether the attitudes of SLT’s towards child stammering have an effect on the intervention they are able to provide and what elements impact on this. The focus will be on the
