Research on processes and practices around information systems is often best conducted in naturalistic setting. To conduct valid and reliable research in such settings, researchers must find ways to reliably bound the phenomenon in which they are interested. In this paper we propose that researchers use episodes—events or processes occurring over a specified period of time—to isolate that which...

Transient ischaemic ST segment changes were studied in 296 consecutive patients with coronary heart disease attending hospital for coronary arteriography. They underwent two channel, frequency modulated ambulatory monitoring for 24 hours. During this time 221 episodes of transient ST elevation (n = 56) or ST depression (n = 165) with a horizontal deviation of at least 1 mm lasting at least 1 mi...

The aim of this study is to describe variability in the shape and amplitude of intensity profiles of anger episodes and how it relates to duration, and to investigate whether this variability can be predicted on the basis of appraisals and emotion regulation strategies used. Participants were asked to report on a wide range of recollected anger episodes. By means of K-spectral centroid clusteri...

PURPOSE To correlate the MR findings in transverse myelitis secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus with clinical findings during disease exacerbation and remission. METHODS Four patients (ages 33 to 47 years) with episodes of transverse myelitis secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus were identified. Three patients had recurrent transverse myelitis episodes (one patient with two recurre...

This article provides a new conceptualization of regime transformation that allows scholars to address democratization and autocratization as related but obverse processes. We introduce dataset captures 680 episodes (ERT) from 1900 2019 offers novel insights into change over the past 120 years. The ERT has three main advantages other approaches. First, it avoids problematic assumptions unit hom...
