Background: The results of studies examining the response to experimental pain during the menstrual cycle are conflicting because of differences in the definitions of the menstrual period, outcome measures and types of experimental pain stimulation. So far, there have been only a few studies correlating experimental pain with the levels of gonadal ...
This article argues that the time is ripe to reacquaint sociology and surrealism. Taking inspiration from surrealism’s emphasis on making the ordinary strange through bizarre, lively and sometimes haunting methods might result in a more poetic and playful sociology. The article looks at how this might be applied in practice through drawing on a var...
Assuming the critics that legal research often receives due to the lack of scientific grounds based in the method, this article raises the need to generate guidelines that guarantee the academic rigor of legal work and propose legal argumentation as its criteria of scientific validity. Based on Atienza, this text suggests the use of propositional l...
Background. Software Engineering (SE) research, like other applied disciplines, intends to provide trustful evidence to practice. To ensure trustful evidence, a rigorous research process based on sound research methodologies is required. Further, to be practically relevant, researchers rely on identifying original research problems that are of inte...
Understanding human judgement and decision making during visual inspection of data is of both practical and theoretical interest. While visualizing data is a commonly employed mechanism to support complex cognitive processes such as inference, judgement, and decision making, the process of supporting and scaffolding cognition through effective desi...
Este artículo muestra el uso, apropiación e impacto de las herramientas informáticas (TIC) por parte de los investigadores y grupos de investigación de algunas instituciones de educación superior de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. Se empleó la metodología cualitativa que permite el análisis de las dinámicas de uso y apropiación de las TIC y su pue...
Neste artigo, parto dos percursos de uma tese de Doutorado em currículo e estudos queers a fim de explorar os caminhos de pesquisa menos como um exercício de produzir empiria ou dados e mais como uma crítica criadora e expansiva. Pergunto: o que acontece se a pesquisa não passar de ficção? Sugiro, desse modo, que é o momento de arriscar os fundamen...
Designers often look for inspiration in their environment when exploring possible solutions to a given problem. However, many studies have reported that external stimuli may constrain designers’ imagination and limit their exploration to similar solutions, a phenomenon described as design fixation. Inspiration and fixation effects are traditionally...
Este artículo pretende contribuir al uso reflexivo de los métodos mixtos, es decir aquellos métodos que combinan en una misma investigación las miradas cuantitativas y cualitativas en vistas de la realización de la fase empírica del estudio. Luego de describir sus características generales y sus principales críticas, se presentan los elementos míni...
