Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) are required for UK studies. Health Research Authority (HRA) guidance lists 36 topic areas for inclusion in PILs. However, there is limited evidence about whether stakeholders believe these items to be of importance when considering participation in a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT). This study will identify and assess which items of information trial stake...

In e-government context, trust plays a vital role in helping citizens overcome perceived risks. Trust makes citizens comfortable sharing personal information, make online government transaction, and acting on eGovernment advices. Thus, trust is a significant notion that should be critically investigated to help both researchers and practitioners to understand citizens’ acceptance to e-Governmen...

The statistical analysis in Q-methodology is based on factor analysis followed by a factor rotation. Currently, the most common factor extraction methods are centroid and principal component extractions and the common techniques for factor rotation are manual rotation and varimax rotation. However, there are some other factor extraction methods such as principal axis factoring and factor rotati...

This article proposes a methodology for the classification of fractal signals as stationary or nonstationary. The methodology is based on the theoretical behavior of two-parameter wavelet entropy of fractal signals. The wavelet (q, q′)-entropy is a wavelet-based extension of the (q, q′)-entropy of Borges and is based on the entropy planes for various q and q′; it is theoretically shown that it ...
