Method Approach

This paper investigates the issue of the global financial crisis and its impacts on philanthropy and civil society organisations (CSOs) in Malaysia. CSOs are popularly known as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Malaysia. Financial crisis has caused NGOs in many countries to receive less funding. This situation may threaten and discourage voluntary works. Undoubtedly, these beneficial contributions from the NGOs are needful services to the society. This paper examines the impact of financial crisis through the lens of NGOs and philanthropy activities in Malaysia. It utilises primary and secondary data, employs a mixed method approach, and uses quantitative and qualitative data. While there are many influencing factors in this development, this paper presents several significant aspects in the Malaysian context, including the style and nature of giving, culture, religion, and political pressure. This study attempts to seek potential solutions, pathways and possible approaches beneficial to NGOs and philanthropy activities for their sustainability in facing the financial crisis and its consequences. Experiences and lessons learnt in Malaysia may well be useful and applicable to some extent in other countries.

Method Approach

Adult learners have unique educational needs that require attention from Higher Education Institutions, facilitators and industry. While several theories and policies have been developed to address the bourgeoning educational challenges confronting adult learners in Higher Education Institutions, not much has been achieved in the wake of growing knowledge and skills demands of employers. Using a mixed method approach, a survey (n = 200) and focus group discussions (n = 27) were conducted among adult learners who were also professionals studying engineering programmes in three diverse universities in Ghana. Additionally, interviews were conducted with representatives from industry and from the three engineering departments in the three universities. The study revealed that while the development of separate programmes for adult learners in Higher Education Institutions is not plausible in meeting the educational needs of adult learners, a different pedagogy could be used in addressing the unique knowledge and skills needs of adult learners. We present the implications of our study in relation to theory, practice and further research.

ABSTRACT Through the Structure and Performance approach, this research aims to analyze the structure and performance of the automotive industry in Indonesia. This research not only aimed to comprehensively analyze both quantitative and qualitative data using mixed method approach, but also explains the correlation between them. The study was conducted in a period of 10 years starting from 2007 to 2016. The result of the analysis shows that: (1) Indonesian automotive industry’s structure is tight oligopoly with the average score of market concentration ratio (CR3) in 2007–2016 is 87,30%, and the average score of MES in 2007–2016 is 71,34%; (3) The performance of the industry is “declining‟ with the ROA average score of Indonesian automotive industry throughout 2007–2016 is 5,97 %; and (4) there is a consistency element in the both research variables, which are structure and performance. It has been proven qualitatively (CR3-ROA is 65,5% & MES-ROA is 67%) and quantitatively (CR3-MES-ROA is 58,1%). Keywords: Industrial Economy, Structure, Performance, Automotive Industry.

A study was conducted to investigate the extent of use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by urban livestock keepers. This paper discusses the perceptions of small scale livestock keepers towards the use of different types of ICTs in accessing livestock information. Mixed method approach was used whereby quantitative and qualitative data was gathered. The findings of this study revealed that most of the respondents had a positive opinion towards the use of ICTs and it was concluded that urban livestock keepers perceived ICTs as important tools for accessing livestock information. The study recommended for improvement of telecommunications services through relevant bodies in order to facilitate more access to information through use of ICTs.

Background and objective: Engaging in clinical reasoning frequently occurs in busy, high pressured, stressful settings with competing demands. Patient outcomes are affected in part by RNs’ clinical reasoning ability. This study aims to explore the extent to which the clinical context influences clinical reasoning among urban and rural registered nurses.Methods: In this exploratory study using a mixed method approach, 11 rural hospital RNs and 7 RNs practicing in urban medical or surgical units completed a survey and a semi-structured individual qualitative interview. Data were generated over a two month period in 2015. Descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U was used to test for differences among groups. Qualitative data analysis procedures were used to help identify two major themes.Results: The perceived lack of time influenced the participants’ ability to engage in clinical reasoning. The findings also suggest that rule following hampered the participants’ ability to confidently share their clinical reasoning.Conclusions: To deepen RNs clinical reasoning an examination of the clinical environment’s structure and processes that support or impede engagement in clinical reasoning is required. Specific strategies that enhance clinical reasoning need to be unit specific and driven by RNs.
