Can a Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) Informed Participant Information Leaflet (PIL) Improve Trial Recruitment, Retention, and Quality of Decision Making? Results of a Randomised Controlled Doubl…
INTRODUCTION: Public and patient involvement (PPI) may be utilised to improve aspects of trial conduct. This study within a trial (SWAT) aimed to examine if a PPI-informed participant information leaflet (PIL) could improve recruitment, retention, and quality of decision-making of an exercise-based rehabilitation trial (RESTORE II) for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer survivors. METHODS: This SWAT was conducted over two phases. Phase 1 applied…

Mixture modelling analysis of one-month disability after stroke
P2-205 Heterogeneity in functional recovery after stroke
Introduction Prediction models for functional recovery after stroke can be improved by adjusting for the heterogeneity in functional recovery patterns. This study explored the heterogeneity in functional recovery after stroke using longitudinal latent class analysis and characterised the patients in the different latent classes. Methods The analyses were performed on a data set from a cohort of 448 stroke survivors participating in a study of out…
Combining Concurrent and Sequential Methods to Examine the Usability and Readability of Websites With Information About Medicines
Research of websites with information about medicines has not previously taken sufficient account of the design aspects that may affect user’s interacting with the site. This explanatory study combined four concurrent usability methods (user testing, think aloud protocol, observation, and tracking the participant’s online actions), with a sequential interview to examine five websites. Site design and content were found to obstruct participants’ a…
A questionnaire to measure health practitioners’ attitudes to partnership in medicine taking
Objectives To revise and improve an existing scale to measure health practitioners’ attitudes to partnership in medicine taking and to ascertain the views of medical students, nursing students and pre‐registration pharmacists on concordance. Background The traditional model of the practitioner‐patient interaction incorporates a practitioner‐centred approach, focusing on the disease rather than the patient. The philosophy of ‘concordance’ (or ‘par…
The role and value of written information for patients about individual medicines
Objective To review research on the role and value of written medicines information for patients from the perspective of patients and health professionals. Context Providing written information to patients about their medicines is acknowledged as a priority but there is poor understanding of how best to meet patients’ needs. Method A sensitive search strategy was developed to maximize the identification of relevant studies. We used a data extract…

Racial similarity in the relationship between poverty and homicide rates
Reassessing Nonlinearity in the Urban Disadvantage/Violent Crime Relationship
Sociologists and criminologists have become increasingly concerned with nonlinear relationships and interaction effects. For example, some recent studies suggest that the positive relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and violent crime is nonlinear with an accelerating slope, whereas other research indicates a nonlinear decelerating slope. The present paper considers the possibility that this inconsistency in findings is partially caused…
Evolution, Complex Systems and the Dialectic
The status of large scale historical macro-theories is contested both in world-systems theory and in sociology as a whole. I distinguish three types of such dynamic models: evolutionary models, systems models and dialectical models. I define dialectical models as a family of complex systems models characterized by positive feedback (self-reinforcement or auto-catalysis). Such models lead to processes of accumulation and polarization, leading to s…

Psychology, Science, and History
Is there a scientific way to assess the validity of generalizations about historical events? Can we test psychological hypotheses about human behavior? In this book the author describes how the emerging field of historiometry provides such tests by applying quantitative analyses to historical data about representative people and events. The author presents an overview of historiometry, explaining how it is practised and how useful it can be to hi…
The revival of macrosociology
Hegel's universal in Marx, Durkheim and Weber
The Question of Hegelian Influence upon Durkheim's Sociology
Durkheim is commonly viewed as the founder of sociology as an empirical or even a positivist, empiricist discipline. The connection between empirical sociological theory and Marxist, Weberian, symbolic interactionist, phenomenological, hermeneutic, and other tendencies is illuminated by viewing the parallels between Durkheim and Hegel. These parallels should not obscure important contrasts, but they include a large number of the most distinctive …
