Investigation Into Researcher Identity in Qualitative Research Articles in Applied Linguistics Journals Through Lens of CDA

Recently, constructing professional identity has received an increasing attention. By adopting and adapting analytical tools of critical discourse analysis (CDA), this study explored the ways through which identities of the qualitative researchers had been projected in 4 applied linguistics articles. This study intended to find out whether the authors of qualitative research articles in applied...

Practical Experience with Spatio-temporal Gis in Geophysical Research

Busstop, a spatio-temporal GIS prototype for geophysical studies, is presented. It includes a metadata representation system, a visualisation subsystem, and a spatio-temporal extension of a classical map algebra. It also takes an active approach to integration with existing non-GIS data handling and analysis programs. Busstop has been used for minor geophysical case studies with some success, b...

Research into Practice : how applied research can underpin innovative practice

The construction industry is notoriously conservative and slow to change, and until recently, only the largest players have engaged in research. However, concerns over global warming and the need for sustainable development, have led to substantial investment (particularly in Europe) into the research and development of technologies and design approaches which will reduce our dependency on foss...

An interdisciplinary approach to capacity building in applied research.

The Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) has contributed to applied health and nursing services research in Canada by establishing the Regional Training Centres (RTCs). The interdisciplinary education and experience in applied health and nursing services research that the RTCs offer has produced graduates who are highly sought after by both academic and key health services decis...
