An application of Extended Normalisation Process Theory in a randomised controlled trial of a complex social intervention: Process evaluation of the Strengthening Families Programme (10–14) in Wales, UK

open access: goldSSM: Population Health, 2017
Purpose: Process evaluations generate important data on the extent to which interventions are delivered as intended. However, the tendency to focus only on assessment of pre-specified structural aspects of fidelity has been criticised for paying ...

Distortions introduced by normalisation of values of criteria in multiple criteria methods of evaluation

open access: diamondLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2014
Quantitative multiple criteria decision aid (MCDA) methods of evaluation gain increasing popularity among researchers. The idea of the methods is to comprise values ofcriteria characterising each object into a single non-dimensional cumulative criterion,

Normalisation by Evaluation for Type Theory, in Type Theory [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2017
We develop normalisation by evaluation (NBE) for dependent types based on presheaf categories. Our construction is formulated in the metalanguage of type theory using quotient inductive types.

Translational framework for implementation evaluation and research: a normalisation process theory coding manual for qualitative research and instrument development [PDF]

open access: goldImplementation Science, 2022
Background Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) is frequently used to inform qualitative research that aims to explain and evaluate processes that shape late-stage translation of innovations in the organisation and delivery of healthcare.

A Continuous Quality Improvement Intervention to Improve Antenatal HIV Care Testing in Rural South Africa: Evaluation of Implementation in a Real-World Setting [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Health Policy and Management, 2022
BackgroundWe evaluated continuous quality improvement (CQI) targeting antenatal HIV care quality in rural South Africa using a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised controlled trial (Management and Optimisation of Nutrition, Antenatal, Reproductive, Child ...

Coherence and normalisation-by-evaluation for bicategorical cartesian closed structure [PDF]

open access: goldLogic in Computer Science, 2020
We present two proofs of coherence for cartesian closed bicategories. Precisely, we show that in the free cartesian closed bicategory on a set of objects there is at most one structural 2-cell between any parallel pair of 1-cells.

Selection and validation of reference genes for normalisation of gene expression in ischaemic and toxicological studies in kidney disease.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Normalisation to standard reference gene(s) is essential for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to obtain reproducible and comparable results of a gene of interest (GOI) between subjects and under varying experimental conditions ...

Factors influencing normalisation and sustainment of the Birmingham Symptom-specific Obstetric Triage System (BSOTS): a qualitative implementation evaluation study with UK maternity health professionals [PDF]

open access: yesImplementation Science Communications
Background Maternity triage is the emergency portal to access maternity services for pregnant or newly postnatal women experiencing unexpected complications or concerns. Traditionally women were seen in the order in which they attended maternity services

Selection of reliable reference genes for the normalisation of gene expression levels following time course LPS stimulation of murine bone marrow derived macrophages

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2017
Background Macrophages are key players in the initiation, perpetuation and regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. They largely perform these roles through modulation of the expression of genes, especially those encoding cytokines ...
