A key process in the oil industry to make decisions is data collection. To improve productivity it is important data and information analysis. For many organizations is not profitable data automation, which has an impact in the way organizations, collect data. Data collection is taken by manual processes that create uncertainty for analysis because it is not reliable. As consequence, making a decision has not the planned results. After working for many years in the oil industry was identified: 1. People collecting data in a manual process normally by using a piece of paper which could be lost or damage. 2. After taking data at the well, data are brought to the office. Then, data are downloaded by another worker in computer software. It can be modified intentionally or not. 3. Accuracy of data collection activity is carried out. How do we know if the staff really went to work area? 4. Training to new staff, lack of experience? 5. There are “risks zones” due vandalism, facilities are damaged by people who stole devices which causes great money losses to companies. All these mentioned factors affect decision making which has a big impact in the production process. This application helps the whole process from collection data until data are registered in databases. This application considered several observations, suggestions and comments from people involve in the oil industry, especially at the production area. As a result, it is a tool that support data collection, standardize information in databases, improve data quality (it doesn’t matter localization), shows time and photographic position in a mobile device. Information is generated digitally taking advantage of easy handling. To summarize advantages of the whole system: • Reduce time of the data re-collection process • Improve data quality • Reduce amount of people working on data registration • Data reliability • Support decisions making • Minimize the use of paper in order to help ambient environment • Improve vehicle logistics • Minimize use of gasoline which helps to reduce costs • Help to optimize routes for vehicles on the field • Productivity, Maintenance, etc., reports can be generated • Vandalism is not a problem

This article presents the results of an experimental study on how the transition from PAPI to CAPI modes affected data quality in longitudinal household surveys. The study was conducted in 2018–2019 within the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS–HSE). In the previous paper, which was based on data from the 26th wave of the RLMS HSE, it was shown that the use of CAPI leads to a significant decrease in the rate of non-substantive responses (“Don’t know”), as well as significant differences in sensitive questions. This paper was aimed at verifying these findings using new data collected during the 27th wave of the RLMS–HSE. The results show that the use of CAPI leads to a decrease in the rate of non-substantive responses, which helps to improve data quality. However, it was shown that the use of CAPI could lead to an increase in social desirability bias.

ObjectiveTo describe the implementation process, successes, challenges, and lessons learned of the application of tablet for data collection and data system in HIV sentinel surveillance in VietnamIntroductionVietnam has routinely monitored HIV sero-prevalence among key populations through its HIV sentinel surveillance system (HSS). In 2010, this system was updated to include a behavioral component (HSS+) among people who inject drugs, female sex workers, and men who have sex with men. HSS+ has historically used a paper-based questionnaire for data collection(1). At the end of the survey, provincial data were manually entered into computers using EpiData Entry forms (http://www.epidata.dk/) and submitted to the Vietnam Authority of HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC). As a result, feedback to provinces on data issues was not provided until after fieldwork completion. One recent survey used tablets for data collection and found that it saved time, required fewer staff, and reduced costs compared to paper-based data collection(2). In 2017, Vietnam introduced tablet for behavioral data collection in HSS+ to improve data quality, resource saving, and to provide more timely access to data.MethodsDevelopment of data entry forms and data systemSurvey data entry forms were designed using free Epi Info™ software for mobile devices(3) and installed on tablets. A SQL database was established via SFPT data transfer to the current database in VAAC’s server. Field data were instantly synced to the national database when the internet signal was available (Picture 1). Real-time data analysis was granted to surveillance staff at all levels using authorized access to the database via Epi Info™ Cloud Data Analytics (ECDA), dashboards were used to track progress and data quality (Figure 1). HSS+ data were frequently reviewed by the National Surveillance Technical Working Group (NSTWG) and timely feedback was provided.DeploymentManuals and e-leaning materials were developed. The NSTWG conducted a pilot to test the forms and data flow from field to the national database before installed into all tablets. Four to seven tablets were distributed to each province depending on number of HSS+ sites and populations. Surveillance staff at Provincial AIDS Centers (PACs) were trained by the NSTWG on how to use the tablet to interview, check, update, save data, and sync data to cloud and to the national database, and to backup the provincial dataset. They then provided trainings to their local field staff.The NSTWG provided technical assistance and troubleshooting through field visits and online support to help local staff address issues regarding tablet use in addition to other HSS/HSS+ issues.ResultsCurrently, 18 HSS+ provinces have implemented the 2017 HSS+. Of these, nine provinces applied tablets exclusively. Two provinces used tablets, but also used paper-based questionnaires when not enough tablets were available. Seven Global Fund supported provinces used the paper-based questionnaires and entered data into tablets after interview completion due to copies of completed paper-based questionnaires are required by these provincial project management units (PMU) for fund re-imbursement.Additional updates were required after the first few days, which created issues around updating forms once revised forms were sent out by NSTWG. Another challenge was that local staff were not familiar with using tablets at the beginning. Also frequent complaints were mainly on data entry and synchronization regarding participant identity code or a record could not be synced.The NSTWG and PAC staff were able to monitor the HSS+ progress and provided feedback daily. Most commonly, feedbacks were provided on participant codings and site names. Using the tablet did not require staff, time or money for data entry and eliminated data entry errors. In general, staff prefered to use this data collection mode.ConclusionsThis mobile device application for data collection in routine HSS+ in Vietnam is feasible and accepted. However, harmonization and coordination from the central Global Fund PMU and provincial PMU will be required to successfully roll-out this system in all HSS+ provinces. This application in addition to ECDA help to improve data quality, due to timeliness of the data, is cost saving and reduces workload. Most importantly, better quality and timely data will facilitate preparation for timely local planning and response.References1. Thanh DC et al.

This study discusses the process of group communication. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The data collection techniques carried out by the researcher were with literature studies, online data searches, interviews, observation and documentation with 3 key informants namely the teacher at TK Zaid bin Tsabit and 3 supporting informants namely TK Head Zaid bin Tsabit and 2 parents. Test the validity of data by increasing perseverance, triangulation and discussion with colleagues, data analysis techniques using data collection, data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions and evaluations.The results of this study that the communication process that occurs is direct communication that occurs in two directions and carried out continuously to form the independence of children. The communication process that occurs in a group of central learning methods shapes children's independence. The process of communication carried out by the teacher to the child is done by giving directions to the child as well as examples of directions that have been delivered by the teacher.The conclusion of this study is that the central learning method shapes children's independence through continuous communication by the teacher, because through central learning children are asked to do everything themselves in the supervision of the teacher. The advice given is that the teacher must be more creative in giving material to the central learning method and be more assertive in educating children and making ongoing communication with parents.
