Abstract The veterinary profession has been relatively understudied in social science, though recent work highlighted the geographic dimensions of expertise. This paper draws on in‐depth qualitative interviews with Named Veterinary Surgeons (NVSs) working UK animal research to demonstrate how and why they distinguish between ethical aspects spaces laboratory general clinical practice. mobilises...

ast year, I wrote about the need for a theory of clinical expertise in speech-language pathology (Kamhi, 1994). In the changing health care market. considerable energies are einemg expended now on ways to measure and document the efficacy of our treatment methods. Much has been written concerning the particular knowledge, technical skills, interpersonal skills, and attitudes that contribute to ...

In their editorial, Speed and Mannion identify two main challenges “the rise of post-truth populism” poses for health policy: the populist threat to inclusive healthcare policies, and the populist threat to well-designed health policies that draw on professional expertise and research evidence. This short comment suggests some conceptual clarifications that might help in thinking through more p...

To design efficient, flexible and user-adaptable learning environments, we need to embed a great deal of knowledge into them. This paper emphasises the teacher’s knowledge, which encompasses all the expertise of the teacher or of the trainer. Thus it is broader than that which is usually called tutoring knowledge. We start with a description of several facets of teaching expertise and of variou...

This paper reports the results of two independent studies dealing with saliency effects within the domain of folkbiological knowledge. In Study 1 we present data from a free listing task that explored tree name generation among Tzotzil Maya of Zinacantán (Chiapas). Study 2 compares Menominee Native Americans with Majority Culture (nonprofessional) fish experts in central Wisconsin. Both studies...

Instruction on problem solving in particular domains typically relies on explanations from experts about their strategies. However, research indicates that such self-reports often are incomplete or inaccurate (e.g., Chao & Salvendy, 1994; Cooke & Breedin, 1994). This article evaluates research on experts’ cognition, the accuracy of experts’ self-reports, and the efficacy of instruction based on...

His professional expertise encompasses radar remote sensing, radar polarimetry, polarimetric scattering analysis, environmental change detection, polarimetric SAR image analysis for monitoring the planet earth. He and his group have developed “Four-component scattering power decomposition” for the utilization of polarimetric SAR image interpretation, which is one of the essential part of polari...

Computational social science is, at its core, a blending of disciplines—the best of human experience, judgement, and anecdotal case studies fused with novel computational methods to extract subtle patterns from immense data. Jointly leveraging such diverse approaches effectively is decidedly nontrivial, but with tremendous potential benefits. We provide frank assessments from our work bridging ...
