Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research on Dental Disease

Interdisciplinary approaches to zoonotic disease

Zoonotic infections are on the increase worldwide, but most research into the biological, environmental and life science aspects of these infections has been conducted in separation. In this review we bring together contemporary research in these areas to suggest a new, symbiotic framework which recognises the interaction of biological, economic, psychological, and natural and built environment...

From regional ethnographies to interdisciplinary approaches-research on meals in Finland.

The main research traditions and cases representing various methodological approaches-qualitative interview, health behaviour questionnaire and dietary survey-are discussed. In line with studies undertaken in other industrialized countries, the Finnish studies show that meal patterns are related to soci...

Introduction: Economics and Interdisciplinary Approaches in Migration Research

Workshop on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Achieving and Analysing System Dependability

Many current and expected problems in system dependability push the limits of the practical techniques, research methods and scientific knowledge that are familiar to the DSN audience. Computer-based systems involve a complex interaction of technical and human components set in the context of a physical environment. Unanticipated problems arise as emergent properties of the interplay between th...
