a review of culturally adapted versions of the oswestry disability index the Adaptation Process construct validity test retest reliability and internal consistency
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2015Co-Authors: Peter J Sheahan, Erika Nelsonwong, Steven L FischerAbstract:AbstractThe Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a self-report-based outcome measure used to quantify the extent of disability related to low back pain (LBP), a substantial contributor to workplace absenteeism. The ODI tool has been adapted for use by patients in several non-English speaking nations. It is unclear, however, if these adapted versions of the ODI are as credible as the original ODI developed for English-speaking nations. The objective of this study was to conduct a review of the literature to identify culturally adapted versions of the ODI and to report on the Adaptation Process, construct validity, test–retest reliability and internal consistency of these ODIs. Following a pragmatic review Process, data were extracted from each study with regard to these four outcomes. While most studies applied Adaptation Processes in accordance with best-practice guidelines, there were some deviations. However, all studies reported high-quality psychometric properties: group mean construct validity was 0.73...

glycine rich rna binding proteins are functionally conserved in arabidopsis thaliana and oryza sativa during cold Adaptation Process
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2010Co-Authors: Joo Yeol Kim, Wonyong Kim, Kyung Jin Kwak, Yeon Soo Han, Hunseung KangAbstract:Contrary to the increasing amount of knowledge regarding the functional roles of glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins (GRPs) in Arabidopsis thaliana in stress responses, the physiological functions of GRPs in rice (Oryza sativa) currently remain largely unknown. In this study, the functional roles of six OsGRPs from rice on the growth of E. coli and plants under cold or freezing stress conditions have been evaluated. Among the six OsGRPs investigated, OsGRP1, OsGRP4, and OsGRP6 were shown to have the ability to complement cold-sensitive BX04 E. coli mutant cells under low temperature conditions, and this complementation ability was correlated closely with their DNA- and RNA-melting abilities. Moreover, OsGRP1 and OsGRP4 rescued the growth-defect of a cold-sensitive Arabidopsis grp7 mutant plant under cold and freezing stress, and OsGRP6 conferred freezing tolerance in the grp7 mutant plant, in which the expression of AtGRP7 was suppressed and is sensitive to cold and freezing stresses. OsGRP4 and OsGRP6 complemented the defect in mRNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in grp7 mutants during cold stress. Considering that AtGRP7 confers freezing tolerance in plants and harbours RNA chaperone activity during the cold Adaptation Process, the results of the present study provide evidence that GRPs in rice and Arabidopsis are functionally conserved, and also suggest that GRPs perform a function as RNA chaperones during the cold Adaptation Process in monocotyledonous plants, as well as in dicotyledonous plants.

cold shock domain proteins and glycine rich rna binding proteins from arabidopsis thaliana can promote the cold Adaptation Process in escherichia coli
Nucleic Acids Research, 2006Co-Authors: Su Jung Park, Kyung Jin Kwak, Jinkyung Song, Boseung Jang, Chehun Jung, Hunseung KangAbstract:: Despite the fact that cold shock domain proteins (CSDPs) and glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins (GRPs) have been implicated to play a role during the cold Adaptation Process, their importance and function in eukaryotes, including plants, are largely unknown. To understand the functional role of plant CSDPs and GRPs in the cold response, two CSDPs (CSDP1 and CSDP2) and three GRPs (GRP2, GRP4 and GRP7) from Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated. Heterologous expression of CSDP1 or GRP7 complemented the cold sensitivity of BX04 mutant Escherichia coli that lack four cold shock proteins (CSPs) and is highly sensitive to cold stress, and resulted in better survival rate than control cells during incubation at low temperature. In contrast, CSDP2 and GRP4 had very little ability. Selective evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX) revealed that GRP7 does not recognize specific RNAs but binds preferentially to G-rich RNA sequences. CSDP1 and GRP7 had DNA melting activity, and enhanced RNase activity. In contrast, CSDP2 and GRP4 had no DNA melting activity and did not enhance RNAase activity. Together, these results indicate that CSDPs and GRPs help E.coli grow and survive better during cold shock, and strongly imply that CSDP1 and GRP7 exhibit RNA chaperone activity during the cold Adaptation Process.

the role of a zinc finger containing glycine rich rna binding protein during the cold Adaptation Process in arabidopsis thaliana
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2006Co-Authors: Yeonok Kim, Hunseung KangAbstract:The mechanistic role of a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein designated atRZ-1a that contributes to enhance cold tolerance in Arabidopsis was investigated. Overexpression of atRZ-1a did not affect the expression of various cold-responsive genes such as COR6.6, COR15a, COR47, RD29A, RD29B and LTI29. Proteome analyses revealed that overexpression of atRZ-1a modulated the expression of several stress-responsive genes, and the transcript levels and RNA stability of these target genes were not affected by atRZ-1a. atRZ-1a successfully complements the cold sensitivity of Escherichia coli lacking four cold shock proteins. These results strongly suggest that atRZ-1a plays a role as an RNA chaperone during the cold Adaptation Process.

technology adaption the case of a computer supported inter organizational virtual team 1
Management Information Systems Quarterly, 2000Co-Authors: Ann Majchrzak, Ronald E Rice, Arvind Malhotra, Nelson King, Sulin BaAbstract:The Adaptation Process for new technology is not yet well understood. This study analyzes how an inter-organizational virtual team, tasked with creating a highly innovative product over a 10 month period, adapted the use of a collaborative technology and successfully achieved its challenging objectives. The study of such a virtual team is especially useful for extending our understanding of the Adaptation Process as virtual teams have more malleable structures than typical organizational units and controlled group experiments. Data were obtained from observations of weekly virtual meetings, electronic log files, interviews, and weekly questionnaires administered to team members. We found that the team initially experienced significant misalignments among the pre-existing organizational environment, group, and technology structures. To resolve these misalignments, the team modified the organizational environment and group structures, leaving the technology structure intact. However, as the team proceeded, a series of events unfolded that caused the team to reevaluate and further modify its structures. This final set of modifications involved reverting back to the pre-existing organizational environment, while new technology and group structures emerged as different from both the pre-existing and the initial ones. A new model of the Adaptation Process-one that integrates these findings and those of several previous models-is proposed.
