This paper addresses issues in the literature regarding the co-occurrence of partner and child physical maltreatment in the United States and in Europe. Design issues including operationalizations, representativeness of samples, data collection methods, and reference periods are discussed in the context of prevalence studies. Next, possible explanations for the pervasiveness of co-occurring maltreatment are explored with an emphasis on theoretical models and mechanisms of co-occurrence. Finally, we offer assessment implications for clinicians and agencies dealing with partner and child maltreatment.

This research was conducted to analyze the accounting policy for excise tape inventory which is implemented in the KPPBC Type Madya Cukai Kediri. The research method used is through a qualitative approach. To support this research, data collection methods were carried out which included literature studies and field studies related to the supply of excise stamps for the 2019. The results of the study can be concluded that KPPBC TMC Kediri has recognized and recorded excise inventory accounting by applying accrual basis and as a whole is in accordance with the regulations of government accounting standards, but there is an acknowledgment of inventory excise stamps in KPPBC TMC Kediri which is not yet in accordance with PMK Number 224/PMK.05/2016. Furthermore, KPPBC TMC Kediri has implemented the SAKTI application to support its accounting business processes. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisa kebijakan akuntansi persediaan pita cukai yang diimplementasikan di KPPBC Tipe Madya Cukai Kediri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah melalui pendekatan kualitatif. Untuk mendukung penelitian tersebut, dilakukan metode pengumpulan data yang mencakup studi kepustakaan dan studi lapangan terkait persediaan pita cukai TA 2019. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa KPPBC TMC Kediri telah melakukan pengakuan dan pencatatan akuntansi persediaan  cukai dengan penerapan basis akrual dan secara keseluruhan telah sesuai dengan peraturan standar akuntansi pemerintahan, namun terdapat salah satu pengakuan persediaan pita cukai di KPPBC TMC Kediri yang belum sesuai dengan PMK Nomor 224/PMK.05/2016. Selanjutnya,  KPPBC TMC Kediri telah mengimplementasikan aplikasi SAKTI untuk menunjang proses bisnis akuntansinya.


This chapter discusses data collection methods and strategies in quantitative research and how researchers design their studies following quantitative approaches. The chapter consists of four sections. The first section discusses experimental and non-experimental designs for quantitative research and the steps that are taken to achieve a more effective inquiry and valid findings. The second and third sections of the chapter discuss the quantitative data collection methods and sampling procedures of quantitative projects, respectively. The chapter is then concluded by examining the significance of reliability and validity concepts in quantitative projects. The chapter has also provided relevant examples and critical thinking challenges for enhanced understanding.

Federal funding for pedestrian and bicycle transportation has increased over the past 15 years, with a resulting increase in shared-use pathways, paved shoulders, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks in many parts of the United States. This has caused communities to ask questions: Where is pedestrian and bicycle activity taking place? What effect does facility construction have on levels of bicycling and walking? What are the characteristics of nonmotorized transportation users? How many miles of pedestrian and bicycle facilities are available? Where are existing facilities located? This paper provides a summary of recent research that was sponsored by FHWA and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center to review and evaluate bicycle and pedestrian data collection methods throughout the United States. It uses a case study approach to evaluate pedestrian and bicycle data collection in 29 different agencies throughout the country in communities ranging in size from 6,000 residents (Sandpoint, Idaho) to 8 million residents (New York City). These case studies are analyzed in the following data collection categories: manual counts, automated counts, surveys targeting nonmotorized transportation users, surveys sampling a general population, inventories, and spatial analyses. The results provide information about the methods and the optimum timing for pedestrian and bicycle data collection; emerging technologies that can be used to gather and analyze data; the benefits, limitations, and costs of different data collection techniques; and implications for a national data collection strategy.

Based on the results of the study, each country studied imposed taxes on private residents, as well as non-residents. Every online content creator is asked to register to obtain a TIN, as well as NPWP in Indonesia. The difference is that online content creators must register their businesses, so that the tax authorities have a database. ABSTRAK Penghasilan yang diperoleh pembuat konten online (selebgrams, youtubers, dan bloggers) merupakan objek Pajak Penghasilan. Penghasilan pembuat konten online merupakan potensi pajak yang sedang digali oleh Direktorat Jenderal Pajak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kebijakan perpajakan bagi wajib pajak orang pribadi pembuat konten online di negara Amerika Serikat, Korea Selatan, Filipina, dan Indonesia, menganalisis potensi penerimaan pajak dan mengevaluasi pelaksanaan kewajiban perpajakannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian deskriptif dan bersifat kualitatif. Pengumpulan data melalui studi lapangan dengan melakukan wawancara dan kuesioner terhadap wajib pajak pembuat konten online dan studi literatur. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, setiap negara yang diteliti mengenakan pajak terhadap resident, maupun non resident. Setiap orang pribadi pembuat konten online diminta mendaftarkan diri agar memperoleh TIN, seperti halnya NPWP di Indonesia.

Scheduling lectures using the ant algorithm is able to provide alternative solutions for scheduling lectures that want a certain time optimally. In this research, the method used is literature study. This literature study was carried out by reading books and literature related to scheduling and ant algorithms. In addition to using literature studies, researchers also use field studies. This is intended to get a true picture of the state of the institution by observing directly at the institution, by means of observation or data collection methods by conducting interviews on the parts involved in the process of preparing the class schedule. From the results of the analysis obtained: scheduling lectures using the ant algorithm is able to provide solutions in scheduling. The ant algorithm can be applied to create a class schedule with optimal results, the ant algorithm is able to provide solutions in the preparation of a lecture schedule that requires a certain time.

Abstract Surveys of religious congregations are a mainstay of sociological research on organized religion in the United States. How accurate, reliable, and comparable are the data generated from the disparate methods used by researchers? We analyze four congregational surveys to show how two components of data collection—sampling design and survey response rate—may contribute to differences in population estimates between the surveys. Results show that in three populations of congregations (all religious traditions, Catholic parishes, and Hispanic Catholic parishes), estimates of key congregational measures, such as head clergy characteristics, congregational size, and Hispanic composition, are susceptible to differences in data collection methods. While differences in sampling design contribute to some of the variation in variable estimates, our unique analysis of survey metadata shows the importance of high response rates for producing accurate estimates for many variables. We conclude with suggestions for improving congregational data collection methods and efforts to compare survey estimates.
