07. Rehabilitative Exercise in Stroke Recovery in Thunder Bay

I attended a live session during Research and Innovation Week and did not understand a word of it. I decided to review a 3 Minute Research presentation after the fact instead. 

I chose to review Nicole Lee’s presentation entitled: Exploring the rehabilitative and exercise experience in stroke recovery among adults living in Thunder Bay. The research is a pilot project for Lee’s masters thesis and focuses on exercise as a form of rehabilitation for stroke survivors in Thunder Bay. 

Lee used semi-structured interviews and surveys to gather her data. Both of the research techniques that Lee used to acquire her data are qualitative techniques that we have discussed in class. Lee did not go into detail about her survey or interview questions, but I am curious as to how she designed each and whether the type of questions asked and their structure affected the outcomes of her study. 

Results concluded that barriers to rehabilitation revolved around the participants’ own perceived ability and lack of motivation. While they experienced barriers, participants also experienced facilitators. Surveys confirmed these results, but also showed low quality of life scores. More research needs to be done in order to gain a comprehensive summary of one’s rehabilitation experiences; Lee could not conclude why participants were experiencing such barriers and facilitators. She intends to continue the research with semi-structured interviews, giving researchers a more in depth understanding of the experiences of participants. (Lee, 2022)

According to the text, surveys can be beneficial in that they are cost-effective and can be conducted by a single researcher. However, the largest con with surveys is that they often have a low response rate. Surveys are also not filled out under controlled conditions, nor can the researcher clarify responses or probe for more information (Neuman & Robson, 2018). 

While surveys provide a more fixed data set, qualitative interviews allow the researcher to see the world through the interviewee’s eyes: “the types of responses possible in qualitative interviewing are much more varied and allow the ‘voice’ of the interviewee to be heard” (Neuman & Robson, 2018). Interviews provide insights that simply cannot be captured through statistics and graphs. A con of interviewing is that the sample sizes are generally small in comparison to those used in qualitative research, bringing into question the validity and reliability of the research and its application to a wider population beyond those in the interview sample. Since Lee’s research is about stroke survivors in Thunder Bay and the findings aim to help the sample group, I think that semi-structured interviews is an appropriate research method. The findings do not need to extend to groups beyond the sample. 

I think that Lee’s renewed approach of using only semi-structured interviews will certainly provide her with more in-depth perspectives on her participants, although it will lower her sample size.

The Boys Season 2 Episode 7 Trailer, Release Date and Details

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The Season 2 finale of The Boys is in our crosshairs, but first we’ve got a penultimate episode that will dial up the tension between our scrappy gang and The Seven even further.

In the trailer for episode 7, ‘Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker’, Butcher (Karl Urban) investigates a little deeper behind the scenes for Victoria Neuman – The Boys’ own version of AOC – and continues to wonder if Becca’s son Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) could turn into a bad egg, just like his dad. Meanwhile, Homelander (Antony Starr) introduces his new fascist bae Stormfront (Aya Cash) to Ryan, much to Becca’s dismay, and outs Starlight (Erin Moriarty) as a mole in The Seven, publicly branding her a traitor. Hughie (Jack Quaid) turns to his new supe acquaintance Lamplighter (Shawn Ashmore) to get Annie out of danger, but it’s an extremely risky gambit.

Here’s an official synopsis for episode seven, which will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video from October 2…

“To help Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) make a case against Vought, Mallory and The Boys look to an unlikely source for answers. Hughie gets terrifying news about Starlight. Meanwhile, Homelander and Stormfront further their master plan for Compound V.”

And here’s that trailer…

The black and white of Butcher’s cause continues to bleed into grey, as The Boys become more entwined with the handful of supes willing to help them take down Vought. Starlight, Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) and Lamplighter are now on side, and Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) is willing to do whatever it takes to slip out from Homelander’s suffocating grip, but things are about to get trickier for Butcher when his parents – Fringe’s John Noble and Downton Abbey’s Lesley Nicol – roll into town.

As this season edges towards a final face-off between The Boys and Homelander/Stormfront, there are likely to be some unforeseeable losses ahead, and it’s unclear whose side the supes will ultimately be on when the chips are down.

The Boys Season 2 stars Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Tomer Capon as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Karl Urban as Butcher, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, Antony Starr as Homelander, Aya Cash as Stormfront, Dominique McElligott as Queen Maeve, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Chace Crawford as The Deep, Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir and Giancarlo Esposito as Stan Edgar.

The series has officially been picked up for a third season, and a spinoff is also in the works. You can read more about that right here.

Fresca?

Does anyone have any book recommendations? I am trying to find some new stuff to read.

I am obsessed with Erin Morgenstern’s writing and would love to read some stuff similar in feel and world building to The Night Circus and The Starless Sea. Preferably female or non-binary authors but I’m not too picky!

Books I’ve enjoyed recently:

The Starless Sea - Erin Morgenstern

The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern

Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier

Normal People - Sally Rooney

If On A Winters Night A Traveller - Italo Calvino

I definitely enjoy fiction with a little fantasy/magic thrown in, but I’m not looking for anything high fantasy/medieval right now (I’m still recovering from GOT). I’d prefer romance not be the main plot but it can definitely be a secondary part of the story. I’ve also read a lot of the popular YA books that float around Tumblr so I’d prefer to read something else right now!!!

I’m still learning to read Tarot but I’d happily draw a card for you in exchange for a book rec! I have a fun new deck that’s all plants! Just reach out and say hi! 😊
