Suppression and mediation effect in psychosocial intervention: differences, similarities and examples
2013
El presente trabajo compara el efecto mediador y el supresor de una tercera variable. Ambos efectos parcelan la varianza de la variable dependiente (Y). La mediación es la reducción, tras introducir una tercera variable (Z) en el modelo, de la proporción de varianza explicada directamente por la variable independiente (X) en la variable criterio (Y) y la supresión es el incremento de la proporción de varianza explicada directamente por la independiente en la variable criterio, al incluir la tercera variable en el modelo. Se analizan las características y diferencias de cada efecto y se examina en qué situaciones se produce uno u otro. Cada situación, compuesta de tres variables correlaciona…
Data-driven discovery of changes in clinical code usage over time: a case-study on changes in cardiovascular disease recording in two English electro…
2020
[EN] Objectives To demonstrate how data-driven variability methods can be used to identify changes in disease recording in two English electronic health records databases between 2001 and 2015. Design Repeated cross-sectional analysis that applied data-driven temporal variability methods to assess month-by-month changes in routinely collected medical data. A measure of difference between months was calculated based on joint distributions of age, gender, socioeconomic status and recorded cardiovascular diseases. Distances between months were used to identify temporal trends in data recording. Setting 400 English primary care practices from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD GOLD) …
Social research evolution in management accounting : reflection using Bunge’s theory
2004
Abstract Actually Management Accounting is considered for an important group of researchers as a social science. This is a consequence of an evolution from an economic view to social-oriented perspectives. Following Mario Bunge’s theory, we establish that break point in 1980s. Until 1980s, the accounting research was dominated by an economic analysis with both utilitarian and cognitive objectives. The scientific growth was in surface , without any relevant change in the foundations of Management Accounting. The development of new concerns regarding social implications promotes a growth in-depth in the 1980s. Socio-economic analysis, both in interpretative and critical research, is developed…
Lines of development in social research on disability in Finland between the years 1970–2010
2013
This article reviews the development of social research on disability conducted in Finland during the 40-year period from 1970 until 2010. The main focus is the connection of the research with the socioeconomic development of the country. The review starts from the emergence of a new disability service paradigm during the late 1960s. This new paradigm centred around the concept of rehabilitation, and had its roots in the birth of a postmodern welfare state during the same decade. The second shift began during the 1980s and was characterized by the precedence of human rights issues. Both of these changes paralleled international developments, but equally had their roots in the Finnish post-w…
