Creating evidence that is both scientifically rigorous and patient oriented in addressing patients’ needs is essential to informing health-care professionals’ practice and meeting patient needs. Patient-oriented research (POR) aims to address this 2-fold mandate by engaging and incorporating patients’ voices throughout the research process through a variety of techniques. Currently, there is little methodological rigor or guidance to help qualitative patient-oriented researchers design, collect, and analyze patient data. Classical grounded theory (GT) is arguably one of the most rigorous qualitative research methods, focusing on the development of theory from data grounded in participants’ voices. As such, classical GT is an ideal methodological approach for conducting POR due to its rigor, patient-oriented focus, and generation of an empirical model focused on the topic of interest. The purpose of this article is to describe the convergence and divergence between classical GT and P...

In social research, the choice of research methodology depends on the pursued research aim and objectives. Social investigators utilize qualitative methods if interested in understanding human behavior patterns in specific situations and contexts (Newman, 2013). Qualitative researchers also assume a dynamic, social, and negotiated reality, which finds reflection in the informant’s perspective. When concerned with facts about social phenomena, social researchers prefer quantitative methodology. In this case, they assume a fixed, objective, and measurable perspective (Newman, 2013).

On the Special Values of Certain L-functions: The case G2
In this thesis, we prove the rationality results for the ratio of the critical values of certain L -functions, which appear in the constant term of Eisenstein series associated with the exceptional group G 2 over a totally imaginary field. Our methodology builds upon the works of Harder and Raghuram, who established rationality results for special values of Rankin-Selberg L -functions for GL n × GL n' by studying the rank-one Eisenstein cohomology of the ambient group GL n+n' over a totally real field, as well as its generalization by Raghuram [35] for the case over a totally imaginary field.
The L -functions in this thesis were constructed using the Langlands-Shahidi method for G 2 over a totally imaginary field, attached to maximal parabolic subgroups. This is the first instance of applying the Harder-Raghuram method to an exceptional group, and the first case involving more than one function appearing in the constant term. Our results demonstrate the relationship between the rationality of different L -functions appearing in the constant term, allowing one to prove the rationality of one L -function based on the known rationality result of another L -functions.
