This article proposes the customary use of qualitative methods as complementary research tools to enhance the evidence base in the craniofacial field. The recognition given to qualitative approaches in other healthcare areas and their value in enhancing understanding of lay and professional beliefs and behaviors is contrasted with the paucity of qualitative studies to date in the craniofacial field. Research tools from the qualitative repertoire are briefly introduced and their underpinning principles are explained. The contribution made to research with children and families in wider healthcare areas and in the craniofacial field to date is outlined. Future potential applications of these methods to craniofacial research are discussed. It is suggested that qualitative methods be integrated into craniofacial research as part of the standard toolbox of inquiry, and that interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues from the social sciences appropriately skilled in the methods should be developed.

AbstractResearch on decision making has mainly been based on economic models that have tried to downplay the overall context of decision-making situations. When we look into the social influences on decision making we realize it is crucial that we bring the issue of context back into the spotlight. In the present paper we explore the methodological foundations of selected qualitative approaches for studying social influences on decision-making, focusing especially on their strengths and weaknesses. We conclude that this area has great potential for further research providing academic rigor is maintained when using qualitative methods.

Quran is a book which is perfect in various aspects. In Surah Ar-Ra’d verse 3 in the Quran tells us that the supernatural and the power of governing and administering only just from Allah SWT. It emphasizes that no one has the knowledge of the unseen and the power of governing nature except Allah SWT. The study was conducted to disseminate and analyze the discussion behind verse 3 Surah Ar-Ra'd. This verse proves the fact that only Allah SWT creates earth, mountains, rivers, night and day and it beyond one’s imagination or power. The objective of this study is to study how Islamic scholars and scientists make an explanation about the formation of earth without the existence of pillars such as mountains, rivers as water sources to earth and the occurrence of day and night. In doing research, there are few methods to collect the data. First is scientific study and the second is field research, both qualitative approaches. Qualitative methods that were used are books, journals and articles obtained from library research. By using the qualitative method, it helps the researcher to gain more information from any sources that recognized and reliable. From the result obtained, the researcher retrieved the scholars and scientists’ explanation on the earth’s formation as related in Surah Ar-Ra'd verse 3. Keywords: Surah Ar-Ra’d, earth, mountain, river, day and night

Tebas District is part of the 3 T region which has the largest population in Sambas district. Most of the population in the Tebas sub-district are spread in 23 villages where transportation access is quite alarming. This reality is not balanced with the number of non PNS Islamic religious instructors appointed by the Ministry of Religion, which amounted to only three people in 2019. Despite having limited personnel, the propaganda carried out with religious guidance was able to touch all circles and entire Tebas sub-district. This study aims to analyze da'wah through religious guidance carried out by Islamic religious instructors in the Tebas sub-district which is in the interior (3 T). This study is a field research using qualitative methods. The results of the analysis of the research findings can be concluded that the religious guidance carried out by Islamic religious instructors in the Tebas sub-district of Sambas district still uses a conventional coaching approach that emphasizes the delivery of da'wah messages orally and directly. Nonetheless, non-PNS Islamic religious instructors in Tebas district, Sambas district, their guidance efforts were carried out with a "pick up ball" pattern and were systematically scheduled. The selection of the guidance approach is based on the social reality of the missionary objectives that are still lagging behind both in terms of technology, access to information and transportation, and limited personnel resources in conducting guidance.

Research Problems

Objective - This paper discusses the importance of qualitative research in evidence-based library and information practice (EBLIP), with a focus on practical tips for evaluating and implementing effective qualitative research projects. Methods - The paper provides a brief introduction to the nature of qualitative inquiry and its status within current models of evidence assessment. Three problems of excluding qualitative research from the evidence-base in library and information studies (LIS) are identified: 1) ignoring the social sciences and humanities traditions that inform research in the field; 2) privileging of quantitative and experimental methods over others in evidence assessment; and, 3) focusing attention away from the best evidence for LIS research problems. Results - Qualitative approaches commonly used in library and information contexts are discussed, along with strategies for assessing quality in this work and some of the common ethics-related issues that researchers and professionals must consider. Conclusions - LIS professionals are encouraged to: 1) select research methods – including qualitative approaches – that best suit LIS questions; 2) design collaborative projects that combine quantitative and qualitative approaches, that will address research questions in a more complete way; 3) consider qualitative measures of rigor in assessing quality – rather than imposing quantitative expectations; and 4) revise existing models of “evidence” to recognize the value and rigor of qualitative research projects.

This study is an extension research of previous research finding conducted by researcher and team, which resulted in more than 50 names of mosques and musalas in Padang were considered error. These forms of error exist in terms of morphological, semantic, morphology and semantic contexts and imla’ rules. However, to explain these errors more compre­hensively, a sociopragmatic viewpoint is required. In this context, it can be assumed that in understanding a word or language, the socio­logical context of the speaker and its use in determining and choosing certain symbols in their language are necessary to be considered. The phe­nomenon of naming a house of worship such as a mosque and musala cannot be separated from social context of the owners of the place of worship. This frequently causes pragmalinguistic failure in under­standing the phenomenon of language which only relies on how to express language structurally, following the rules exclusively without giving attention to the social and cultural context of the speaker itself. This research is a field research which applies qualitative methods. The main data is obtained through interviews with mosques and musalas administrator and also the surrounding community to find out the historical and socio-cultural background of naming the mosques or musalas. The data of this study are all the names of mosques and musalas in Padang, especially those 50 names that are considered error from the perspective of Arabic grammar.Keywords: Sociopragmatics, mosque, musala, Padang Kajian ini adalah kelanjutan dari temuan peneliti dan tim yang dalam penelitian sebelumnya mendapatkan kesalahan pada lebih dari 50 nama masjid dan musala yang ada di kota Padang. Bentuk-bentuk kesalahan tersebut ada dalam konteks morfologis, semantic, morfologis dan semantic serta kaidah imlai’. Akan tetapi, untuk menjelaskan kesalahan tersebut secara lebih komprehensif diperlukan sudut pandang sosiopragmatik. Dalam konteks ini bisa dipahami bahwa pemahaman sebuah kata atau bahasa haruslah memperhatikan konteks sosiologis penutur dan pengguna­nya dalam menentukan dan memilih simbol tertentu dalam bahasa mereka. Tidak terkecuali tentunya penamaan sebuah rumah ibadah seperti masjid dan musala yang juga tidak bisa dilepaskan dari konteks sosial masyarakat yang menjadi pemilik rumah ibadah tersebut. Hal ini yang seringkali menjadi penyebab kegagalan pragmalinguistik dalam memahami feno­mena bahasa yang hanya bertumpu pada bagaimana mengungkapkan bahasa sesuai aturan tanpa memberikan perhatian kepada koteks sosial dan cultural penutur itu sendiri. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan (field research) dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, di mana data utama diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan pengurus masjid dan musala dan juga masyarakat sekitar untuk mengetahui latar belakang historis dan sosio-budaya penamaan masjid atau musala mereka. Adapun data pene­litian ini adalah semua nama masjid dan musala yang ada di kota Padang, khususnya yang dianggap keliru dalam sudut pandang tata bahasa Arab yaitu kurang lebih 50 masjid dan musala.Kata Kunci: Sosiopragmatik, Masjid, Musala, Padang

Care Of Elderly

The European society is getting older and nobody knows how to deal with this problem. There are different models from family care, special housing for elderly to professional institutional care, which has the disadvantage of being very expensive. In Germany we have noticed in the last two or three years a special trend to send old people suffering from dementia to foreign countries, because these people need intensive care and the social services for example in Poland have a high standard. The aim of our survey is to dismantle, by the example of the private care institution situated in Poland, Upper Silesia which specializes on German customers, the social practices associated with placing the elderly in such institutions and also the methods of constructing meanings of these practices providing clarity in the various groups that take part in this process. To reach this aim we used qualitative field research, including discourse and narrative analysis of various materials (interviews, promotional texts, websites), which beside other things allowed us to reconstruct the media image of the surveyed residences for the elderly and show it in a wider context.

Brokers have played important roles in the trade of green tea between China and Mali, from the 19th century when tea first came to Mali up to the present. They mediate between tea buyers and sellers, work on their own account, use soft skills, knowledge and networks and make a living from the commission they gain. This article examines the work of brokers in the tea trade, the social constellations in which they are active and the scope of their activity. Based on extensive field research in Mali and China, this article shows how brokers create their own jobs in a dynamic business landscape, which is often delimited by governmental policies, competing entrepreneurial activities and social movements.

AbstractQualitative methods are critical for implementation science as they generate opportunities to examine complexity and include a diversity of perspectives. However, it can be a challenge to identify the approach that will provide the best fit for achieving a given set of practice-driven research needs. After all, implementation scientists must find a balance between speed and rigor, reliance on existing frameworks and new discoveries, and inclusion of insider and outsider perspectives. This paper offers guidance on taking a pragmatic approach to analysis, which entails strategically combining and borrowing from established qualitative approaches to meet a study’s needs, typically with guidance from an existing framework and with explicit research and practice change goals.Section 1 offers a series of practical questions to guide the development of a pragmatic analytic approach. These include examining the balance of inductive and deductive procedures, the extent to which insider or outsider perspectives are privileged, study requirements related to data and products that support scientific advancement and practice change, and strategic resource allocation. This is followed by an introduction to three approaches commonly considered for implementation science projects: grounded theory, framework analysis, and interpretive phenomenological analysis, highlighting core analytic procedures that may be borrowed for a pragmatic approach. Section 2 addresses opportunities to ensure and communicate rigor of pragmatic analytic approaches. Section 3 provides an illustrative example from the team’s work, highlighting how a pragmatic analytic approach was designed and executed and the diversity of research and practice products generated.As qualitative inquiry gains prominence in implementation science, it is critical to take advantage of qualitative methods’ diversity and flexibility. This paper furthers the conversation regarding how to strategically mix and match components of established qualitative approaches to meet the analytic needs of implementation science projects, thereby supporting high-impact research and improved opportunities to create practice change.
