Mixed methods research in developing countries has been increasing since the turn of the century. Given this, there is need to consolidate insights for future researchers. This article contributes to the methodological literature by exploring how cultural factors and logistical challenges in developing contexts interplay with mixed methods research design and implementation. Insights are based on the author’s research experience of using mixed methods in six projects across three African and three Caribbean countries. Three lessons are provided to aid researchers using mixed methods working in developing countries. First, cultural factors call for more reflexivity. Second, adopting a pragmatic research paradigm is necessary. And third, the research process should be iterative and adaptive.

Siemens has been on the cutting edge of the power generation business for over a century and has been providing diagnostics systems design and implementation since the early 1980s. Siemens Power Diagnostics® Services is designed to maximize plant performance, availability and profitability. Engineering knowledge, combined with the use of sophisticated tools, provides trending and analysis capabilities to address a broad range of operating needs specific to each customer. The goal of Power Diagnostics® is to enhance Siemens assistance to our customers through the detection of impending operational problems thereby helping to minimize unplanned outages and maximize power generation availability. A variety of new technologies are being harnessed to further this goal. A survey and discussion of these technologies will be the goal of this paper. Some of the projects discussed will be; Advances in the Power Plant Automated Diagnostics Systems, Blade Vibration Monitor (BVM), Fiber Optic Vibration Monitor (FOVM), and the Radio Frequency Monitor (RFM). The development and verification phases of research projects have often been conducted at customer sites. Many aspects of these technologies are new and will be of interest to gas turbine engineers as they are not widely applied yet. It is hoped that the reader will gain a new appreciation for the scope of modern diagnostic methods for power generation systems.

<p><em>Mortality due to cancer increase every year, the world heal organization states that by 2030 there will be 11.4 million deaths from cancer and more than half are developing countries. formaldehyde is one of the causes of cancer. there are still many reported food that contain formaldehyde, one of which is salted fish. The purpose of this study was to detect the presence of formaldehyde in salted fish sold on at the Pariaman City Market in 2018. The method used was quasi-experimental using a qualitative analysis approach. The result showed that 10 percent of samples are positively contained formaldehyde.</em></p>

The design and implementation of healthcare information systems (HIS) is problematic as many HIS projects do not achieve the desired outcomes. There exist a number of theories to enhance our ability to successfully develop HIS. Examples of such theories include ‘fit’ and the sociotechnical approach. However, there are few empirical studies that illustrate how to understand and operationalize such theories at the empirical level needed for HIS design. This chapter introduces a practice support framework that bridges the gap between the theoretical and empirical aspects of HIS design by identifying specific process and information practice supports that need to be considered to actively produce fit of an HIS within a healthcare setting. The chapter also provides an empirical case study of how practice support was used to develop a computer based tool in the domain area of palliative care severe pain management.
