Case Studies and Non-Abstractionist Theorizing
Case studies offer a unique methodological resource for studying human practices in real-world settings and have the potential to facilitate non-abstractionist theorizing that may be especially useful to practitioners. Stiles’ contribution regarding deduction, induction, and abduction in theory development—via case study methods—raises important, but often ignored, issues and suggests several w...
متن کاملMechanism-Based Studies of the Active Site-Directed Inhibition and Activation of Enzyme Transketolase
Derivatives of phenyl-keto butenoic acids have been reported to be inhibitors of pyruvate decarboxylase, (PDC). The inhibition of transketolase, a thiamine requiring enzyme such as PDF, by meta nitrophenyl derivative of 2-oxo-3-butenoic acid (MNPB) is reported here. These studies indicate that the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at the active site. A two-step inhibition was observed, first th...
متن کاملUsages of Generalization in Case-Based Reasoning
The aim of this paper is to analyze how the generalizations built by a CBR method can be used as local approximations of a concept. From this point of view, these local approximations can take a role similar to the global approximations built by eager learning methods. Thus, we propose that local approximations can be interpreted either as: 1) a symbolic similitude among a set of cases, 2) a pa...
متن کاملQuality criteria and generalization of results from qualitative studies
A fundamental aim of all qualitative studies is to take the perspective of others and therewith to experience meanings, situations and actions through the eyes of others. This demands data from relatively small strategically selected study groups, in addition to empathy, openness and sensitivity in the researchers. Most qualitative researchers strive to come further than just pure descriptions ...
متن کاملReliability and Generalization Studies Reliability: Arguments for Multiple Perspectives and Potential Problems with Generalization across Studies
The present article addresses reliability issues in light of recent studies and debates focused on psychometrics versus datametrics terminology and reliability generalization (RG) introduced by Vacha-Haase. The purpose here was not to moderate arguments presented in these debates but to discuss multiple perspectives on score reliability and how they may affect research practice, editorial polic...
