ABSTRACT Objective: The need to quantify pain and quality of life (QoL) is essential for professionals considering their therapeutic approach. The goal of this review is to identify the methods to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of pain and QoL validated in Brazil. Methods: Review by the LILACS, SciELO, MedLine and Google Scholar databases with the descriptors: methods, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, pain and quality of life. Inclusion criteria: articles published in Portuguese and in English in the period from 1996 to 2015. Exclusion criteria: incomplete texts, articles that did not address the subject of study and duplicate articles in the databases. Results: After applying the eligibility criteria, 27 articles were selected for reading, being that one article was excluded by presenting irrelevant result and another was excluded by duplication. From the 25 articles, one was published in 2015, three in 2014, one in 2013, three in 2012, five in 2011, two in 2010, three in 2009, four in 2008, two in 2004 and one in 1996. In relation to the studies, nine were clinical trials, 10 systematic reviews, five cross-sectional studies and one essay. Conclusion The most frequently methods applied are the VAS and the McGill’s Questionnaire, considering the multidimensional pain assessment. The most commonly used questionnaire to evaluate QoL is the SF-36. There is great difficulty to classify methods for assessing pain and QoL (qualitative or quantitative methods), since many authors report the same method when addressing the two interfaces.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is transforming Western companies’ corporate real estate (CRE) requirements. When business processes move to a developing country there are consequences for that country’s CRE practice. This paper considers the effects of western BPO on Indian CRE. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was used to analyze data from a survey of professionals operating in Indian CRE. Location issues, quality of workspace, and the availability of human resources were identified as important in establishing BPO activities in India. Suburban, and campus or built-to-suit facilities, were increasingly preferred locations and styles of workplace that were transforming Indian CRE practice. Also, the effect of western BPO was impacting on the types of CRE services being offered. With the continuing growth in BPO to ‘secondary cities’ the transformational effects on local CRE practice are likely to spread and further transform CRE practice in India.

In this article, the problems of dubbing, especially related to lip synchrony as one of the most challenging aspects of audiovisual translation, are scrutinised. Contrarily to the traditional focus on bilabials and open vowels, the object of this research is lip synchrony of both rounded and protruded vowels and diphthongs since lip rounding is a visibly marked feature, which cannot be neglected especially in close-ups. The study aims at determining the inaccuracies in lip synchrony of the mentioned phonemic group in the dubbed animated feature film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 from English to Lithuanian. Qualitative and quantitative analysis is carried out by employing a comparative method. The research methodology is based on the theoretical insights and assumptions provided by Frederic Chaume (2004, 2006, 2012), Richard Barsam & Dave Monahan (2010), and Indrė Koverienė (2015). The research findings demonstrate the main issues of lip synchrony a translator might face while adapting a piece of audiovisual material for the target language audience. Also, it provides insights into the quality of the overall translation of the chosen film.

Abstract Background: Sargentodoxa cuneata is an herb commonly used by the Hmong people, and many preparations containing this herb have been marketed. However, the source of medicinal materials is not standardized during the production process, and the quality of medicinal materials from different sources may be inconsistent. This study was aimed to establish a qualitative and quantitative analysis method for quality assessment of Sargentodoxa cuneata in different regions. Methods: HPLC/Q Exactive Plus MS was performed in positive mode and negative mode used for qualitative analysis, and there were twenty-one ingredients were tested. Nine high-content or characteristic ingredients were screened out and applied to the quantitative analysis of thirty batches of medicinal materials from different origins. Based on the results of the quantitative analysis, further multivariate statistical analyses were carried out for quality assessment of Sargentodoxa cuneata . Results: Results showed that there were significant differences in the contents of the nine ingredients of Sargentodoxa cuneata in the eastern and southwestern regions. The content of hydroxytyrosol, salidroside, chlorogenic acid, desrhamnosyl isoacteoside, and liriodendrin of Sargentodoxa cuneata in eastern region was higher, while the content of protocatechin in southwestern region was higher. The different ingredients included protocatechuic acid, desrhamnosyl isoacteoside, liriodendrin, and hydroxytyrosol. These four ingredients were important factors that caused the difference in the quality of Sargentodoxa cuneata from different origins. Conclusion: Protocatechuic acid, desrhamnosyl isoacteoside, liriodendrin, and hydroxytyrosol may become a new marker for quality assessment of Sargentodoxa cuneata.
