Signal transduction and exercise
Published in Adam P. Sharples, James P. Morton, Henning Wackerhage, Molecular Exercise Physiology, 2022
Brendan Egan, Adam P. Sharples
Create a concept map to illustrate the integrative nature of the exercise-induced signal transduction by detailing an example of continuity between changes in cellular substrates, AMPK and downstream targets such as transcriptional regulators. You may wish to download specialised software for concept mapping such as Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) from Tufts University to assist you in this task.

During plan development, participatory decision making was used to solicit input from key stakeholders (Elliott, Jones et al. 2014; Elliott, Jones, Nichols et al. 2014). Throughout 2011, West Virginians representing all societal sectors and geographic regions contributed to the generation of sector-specific strategies and tactics for implementation. These strategies and tactics were (a) initially developed during a state-wide symposium and multi-phase concept mapping process that included brainstorming of ideas, structuring of ideas through sorting and rating, and interpretation of results by experts, (b) further refined by key leaders and stakeholder teams from each societal sector, and (c) prepared for dissemination through the lens of the scientific evidence and recommendations summarized in the National Plan.
Curriculum: constructing a programme for learning
Published in Jane Doe, Teaching Made Easy, 2017
After deciding on the big picture, chunk down these aims into a medium-level course outline. This will depend on the decisions that you make on content, so concept mapping12-14 may be helpful here.

Concept mapping is an umbrella term for methodologies that visually represent complex and intangible ideas onto a picture or map (Kane and Trochim 2007). The map is generated from similarity and importance weightings of statements, which are rated and sorted using a structured process, by multiple participants. Statement rating and sorting data are then located on the map via multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. This produces an interpretable visualisation of people’s ideas and how these ideas relate to each other (Trochim 1989). This process can be divided into six stages: Preparation of the study and the goals of the process, generation of the statements through brainstorming, structuring the data through sorting and rating as well as collecting descriptive data, representation of the data visually on a map, interpreting the resulting map, and using the map in future planning and development. This method is described in more depth by Trochim and McLinden (2017) and Kane and Trochim (2007).
Identifying opioid-related electronic health record phenotypes for emergency care research and surveillance: An expert consensus driven concept mapping process

To achieve consensus around opioid-related phenotype topics in the ED, we used a hybrid scheme that employed expert consensus driven conceptual mapping and modified Delphi methods.14,15 Concept mapping is “a structured methodology for organizing the ideas of a group or organization, to bring together diverse groups of stakeholders and help them rapidly form a common framework that can be used for planning and evaluation, or both.”16 The concept mapping process is inductive and consists of three phases: (1) brainstorming, in which specific ideas from stakeholders are stimulated by a focus prompt; (2) rating each item brainstormed by the entire group; and (3) grouping the brainstormed items into conceptual clusters. Concept mapping has the advantage of utilizing a structured analytical process where the use of ranking scales, cluster analysis, and the production of analytical graphs aids summarization of the group deliberation exercise. Modified Delphi methods were utilized to elicit ideas and generate consensus. The study was approved by the local institutional review board (HIC # 2000026359).
Occupational therapists and physiotherapists weighing up the dignity of risk for people living with a brain injury: grounded theory

As findings emerged, theoretical sampling was used and enabled the researchers to look for concepts that were consistent in all findings (the core category), to uncover the basic social process and establishment of theoretical saturation. Some changes were made to the questions asked of new participants to test concepts arising in the theory and to probe further into areas of interest – such as experiences of enabling dignity. Examples of new questions posed from July 2018 were: Can you tell me some stories from your practice experiences that are examples of when you were concerned about a client’s dignity when safety was at risk? How do you balance the need maintain dignity with the need to minimise risks? Excel was used to create an audit of the focused coding of the entire data set completed by two members of the team, one occupational therapist and one physiotherapist. The team met several times to discuss and develop consensus regarding emerging categories and concepts. Memos were used throughout the analysis process to enable discussions amongst the research team and the asking of critical questions. Constant comparison and interrogation of the data enabled development of relationships between the categories and some categorical properties began to reach saturation. The researchers also used concept mapping to connect and reorganise the data.
