Physiotherapists’ experiences of physiotherapy interventions in scientific physiotherapy publications focusing on interventions for children with cerebral palsy: a qualitative phenomenographic approach

REA Auditado

Abstract
Background
Physiotherapy research concerning interventions for children with CP is often focused on collecting evidence of the superiority of particular therapeutic methods or treatment modalities. Articulating and documenting the use of theory, instrumentation and research design and the assumptions underlying physiotherapy research interventions are important.

Landscape Architectural Design as Scientific Inquiry?

REA Auditado

This presentation discusses ‘landscape architectural design as scientific inquiry’ and exemplifies this with the description of a design process within climate-responsive design leading to new design knowledge. ‘Research and design’ are issues that need increasing attention within landscape architecture academia. Substantial contributions on ‘research’ and ‘design’ exist within architectural theory [1,2,3,4]. However, within landscape architecture, there are only few publications on this topic.

WriteSim TCExam - An open source text simulation environment for training novice researchers in scientific writing

REA Auditado

Abstract Background The ability to write clearly and effectively is of central importance to the scientific enterprise. Encouraged by the success of simulation environments in other biomedical sciences, we developed WriteSim TCExam, an open-source, Web-based, textual simulation environment for teaching effective writing techniques to novice researchers. We shortlisted and modified an existing open source application - TCExam to serve as a textual simulation environment.

The textual characteristics of traditional and Open Access scientific journals are similar

REA Auditado

Abstract Background Recent years have seen an increased amount of natural language processing (NLP) work on full text biomedical journal publications. Much of this work is done with Open Access journal articles. Such work assumes that Open Access articles are representative of biomedical publications in general and that methods developed for analysis of Open Access full text publications will generalize to the biomedical literature as a whole.

Visualization for constructing and sharing geo-scientific concepts

REA Auditado

Representations of scientific knowledge must reflect the dynamic nature of knowledge construction and the evolving networks of relations between scientific concepts. In this article, we describe initial work toward dynamic, visual methods and tools that support the construction, communication, revision, and application of scientific knowledge. Specifically, we focus on tools to capture and explore the concepts that underlie collaborative science activities, with examples drawn from the domain of human-environment interaction.

Optimization of telescope scheduling: algorithmic research and scientific policy

REA Auditado

The use of very expensive facilities in Modern Astronomy has demonstrated the importance of automatic modes
in the operation of large telescopes. As a consequence, several mathematical tools have been applied and developed to solve
the (NP − hard) scheduling optimization problem: from simple heuristics to the more complex genetic algorithms or neural
networks. In this work, the basic scheduling problem is translated into mathematical language and two main methods are used
to solve it: neighborhood search methods and genetic algorithms; both of them are analysed.

Revisiting scientific epistemology in architecture : ekistics and modernism in the Middle East

REA Auditado

Initiated by the Greek architect Doxiades in the early fifties, the term "Ekistics" designated "the science for human settlements" which promoted a scientific method for architectural design and planning. It had an immense impact on many fields of architecture and planning worldwide, especially during the sixties. With the theoretical shifts in subsequent decades, Ekistics was displaced as obsolete and its aspirations remained unexplored, while scientifIc methods in architecture are often dismissed in their entirety.
