BACKGROUND Successful recruitment and retention of participants into research studies is critical for optimising internal and external validity. Research into diet and lifestyle of young women is important due to the physiological transitions experienced at this life stage. This paper aims to evaluate data related to recruitment and retention across three research studies with young women, and ...

it is of no doubt that social media sites have become the most dominated subject in today life. however, the effect of those websites has widely disseminated not only into social life but into the business world as well. recruitment is one of the topics that have influence by social networking sites. previous studies have shown growing use of social networking sites such as facebook, twitter an...

The skills and abilities of a company’s employees are a prerequisite for the enterprise to be innovative. In case the know-how needed to accomplish certain tasks is not available internally or cannot be developed within reasonable time, the company needs to address to the external labor market, e.g. by recruiting experts possessing the skill sets required. However, for rare candidate profiles t...

Recruitment, abundance (percentage cover, density) and diversity (H9) of a benthic subtidal community were examined in relation to large scale ( > 0.15 km) shoreline configuration in the St. Lawrence Estuary (Canada). Settlement panels were moored inside and outside bays of different sizes (0.15, 1.5, 4 and 7 km aperture) and along a portion of straight ( ̄ 12 km) coast. Only the largest bay wa...

BACKGROUND Replication of intervention research is reported infrequently, limiting what we know about external validity and generalisability. The Smoke Free Homes Program, a minimal intervention, increased home smoking bans by United Way 2-1-1 callers in randomised controlled trials in Atlanta, Georgia and North Carolina. OBJECTIVE Test the programme's generalisability-external validity in a ...

In 2008, the Children’s Bureau published a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for Diligent Recruitment of Families for Children in the Foster Care System. This announcement identified a need for the development and implementation of national adoption and foster care strategies, data systems, interventions, and training and technical assistance to address the fact that “in 22 States, [there ...

Motor-skill learning can be accompanied by both increases and decreases in brain activity. Increases may indicate neural recruitment, while decreases may imply that a region became unimportant or developed a more efficient representation of the skill. These overlapping mechanisms make interpreting learning-related changes of spatially averaged activity difficult. Here we show that motor-skill a...

Recent findings have revealed age-related changes in neural recruitment during the processing of emotional information. The present study examined whether these age-related changes would be more pronounced for words, thought to be processed in a controlled manner versus relatively automatically processed pictures. Compared to young adults, older adults showed less amygdala activation, and more ...
