TL;DR: This special issue of Irrigation and Drainage Systems is dedicated to the topic of integrated water resources management and the nine papers included here provide overviews of the subject, address key sets of selected key challenges in IWRM, provide new data, and give food for thought around I WRM as a contemporary issue.
Abstract: IntroductionDespite increases in awareness of integrated water resources management (IWRM) and anumber of studies that focus on the concept there still exist few in-depth scientific studieson the rationale behind the principles and concepts. Moreover, as Gooch and Stalnacke(2006) have pointed out, IWRM definitions and concepts, which focus on and influencethinking about sustainability, do not provide us with much indication of how this proposedco-ordination, balancing and integration is to be achieved in practice.This special issue of Irrigation and Drainage Systems is dedicated to the topic of IWRM.The nine papers included here provide overviews of the subject, address key sets of selectedkey challenges in IWRM, provide new data, and, most importantly, give food for thoughtaround IWRM as a contemporary issue. In the following sections of this introduction, thenine articles in this special issue are summarized and placed into an overall context. Each ofthe articles contributes to a greater understanding of IWRM in different ways. Finally, someoverall conclusions in the form of concluding remarks are provided. Hopefully this specialissue will help to ‘open up’ the ‘IWRM-box’. We also hope that the articles will inspirefurther interest and research into the topic that will then provide further support in the local,regional, national, transnational and global management arenas and in academic institutes.In addition, this special issue complements two closely related new textbooks on waterresources management (Gooch and Stalnacke 2010; Gooch et al. 2010).

TL;DR: In this article, large-area graphene monolayers were successfully prepared ex situ on 6H-SiC(0001) and the results are compared with those from a sample cut from the same wafer and prepared by in situ heating.
Abstract: Homogeneous large-area graphene monolayers were successfully prepared ex situ on 6H-SiC(0001). The samples have been studied systematically and the results are compared with those from a sample cut from the same wafer and prepared by in situ heating. The formation of smaller graphene flakes was found on the in situ prepared sample, which is in line with earlier observations. Distinctly different results are observed from the ex situ graphene layers of different thicknesses, which are proposed as a guideline for determining graphene growth. Recorded C 1s spectra consisted of three components: bulk SiC, graphene (G), and interface (I), the latter being a 6 root 3 layer. Extracted intensity ratios of G/I were found to give a good estimate of the thickness of graphene. Differences are also revealed in micro low energy electron diffraction images and electron reflectivity curves. The diffraction patterns were distinctly different from a monolayer thickness up to three layers. At a larger thickness only the graphitelike spot was visible. The electron reflectivity curve showed a nice oscillation behavior with kinetic energy and as a function of the number of graphene layers. The graphene sheets prepared were found to be very inert and the interface between the substrate and the layer(s) was found to be quite abrupt. No free Si could be detected in or on the graphene layers or at the interface.

TL;DR: Examination of construct validity indicates that it seems to be possible to penetrate a psychological construct related to fear of childbirth by means of the W-DEQ, both before and after delivery, in nulliparous as well as in parous women.
Abstract: Up to now it has been difficult to study fear of childbirth because of a shortage of adequate psychological measurements. Therefore the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/ Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ) w...

TL;DR: It is stated in the paper that pragmatism has influenced IS research to a fairly large extent, albeit in a rather implicit way, and is considered an appropriate paradigm for AR and DR.
Abstract: Qualitative research is often associated with interpretivism, but alternatives do exist. Besides critical research and sometimes positivism, qualitative research in information systems can be performed following a paradigm of pragmatism. This paradigm is associated with action, intervention and constructive knowledge. This paper has picked out interpretivism and pragmatism as two possible and important research paradigms for qualitative research in information systems. It clarifies each paradigm in an ideal-typical fashion and then conducts a comparison revealing commonalities and differences. It is stated that a qualitative researcher must either adopt an interpretive stance aiming towards an understanding that is appreciated for being interesting; or a pragmatist stance aiming for constructive knowledge that is appreciated for being useful in action. The possibilities of combining pragmatism and interpretivism in qualitative research in information systems are analysed. A research case (conducted through action research (AR) and design research (DR)) that combines interpretivism and pragmatism is used as an illustration. It is stated in the paper that pragmatism has influenced IS research to a fairly large extent, albeit in a rather implicit way. The paradigmatic foundations are seldom known and explicated. This paper contributes to a further clarification of pragmatism as an explicit research paradigm for qualitative research in information systems. Pragmatism is considered an appropriate paradigm for AR and DR.
