Taking the theory of multimodal analysis as the theoretical basis and 7 ppts in an MA thesis defense as the research data, this paper uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the distribution and realizations of types and modalities of PPTs in this MA thesis defense. The results show that the analyzing type accounts for the highest proportion to make sure the PPT defense presentation is academic and serious. The use of connecting, persuading, and prompting types has a strong personal tendency, varying from person to person. The visualizing type takes up the lowest proportion among them, indicating that pictures are the last modality that demonstrators tend to use. The paper further explores how meanings of MA thesis defense are constructed multimodally, and investigates the characteristics of PPT as a thesis defense genre, aiming to give some suggestions and instruction on ppt presentation for thesis defenses.

First Time

This study uses the case study of journalists to explore the socio-cognitive nature of interpersonal trust in growingly deceptive ecosystems. Journalists are ideal test subjects to explore these issues as professional trust allocators, who receive immediate feedback on right and wrong trust decisions. The study differentiates, for the first time, between source and message credibility evaluations, based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings show that journalists can distinguish source and message credibility. However, in practice they rely on source evaluations as an “autopilot” default mode, shifting gears to observations of source and message credibility in epistemically complex cases. The proportion between both is close to Pareto distribution. This extreme division challenges both inductive and mixed inference theories of epistemic trust and suggests revisiting the “typification” doctrine of newswork. Data partially support the hegemony and “epistemic injustice” theory, showing that traditional credibility criteria might trigger the exclusion of nontraditional voices.

This study explored the motivation factors of charitable giving and their value structure. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Six components were found which individually stand for the dimensions of the motivation factors of charitable giving: a good deed, altruism, a desire for social responsibility, a desire for the common good, mass psychology, and a showing off reward-expecting manner. Two different networks among the factors of charitable giving were shown: one represented a notion of social and individual virtue, and the other referred to a notion of selfishness. Therefore, it can be said that people give to charities both in order to demonstrate their virtue, and to satisfy their selfishness.

Abstract Narrative study of religious lives has formed part of numerous projects at the Bielefeld Research Center for Biographical Studies in Contemporary Religion. An essential instrument in our designs, which mostly combine qualitative and quantitative methods, is the Faith Development Interview (FDI). In response to longstanding criticism its cognitive structural framework has been revised in respect of styles and schemata. The religious styles perspective examines the self as articulated in narratives and associates it with affectivity and emotion. This article gives an overview of our theoretical and methodological revisions, which take cognizance of current developments in lifespan developmental and clinical psychology such as attachment, mentalization and wisdom. We illustrate the implementation of these advances with a case study from our current study of ‘spirituality’,1 which we locate in the complex multi-method design, and outline the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data.

Using the theory of transitivity system within Systemic Functional Linguistics as the theoretical basis and the white paper named Fighting COVID-19: China in Action, which was published by the Chinese government on June 7, 2020 as the corpus, with the help of corpus analysis tool, UAM Corus Tool 3, this paper uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the construction of China’s national image. The results show that the frequency of material processes is extremely high, which is 88.26%, while existential processes and behavioral processes occupy only an extremely small proportion, 0.73% and 0.09% respectively. Relational processes are in the second rank, 5.34%. The frequencies of verbal processes and mental processes are similar, accounting for 2.97% and 2.6% respectively. Through a detailed analysis of the six transitivity processes, a national image that advocates “people supremacy”, selfless collectivism, with strong executive ability and mobilization, and a great responsibility in the international society is found to be constructed. This paper lays a foundation for further studying China’s national image in the path of SFL. It also sheds some light on the construction of China’s image in the official government document.

  Background: In 2010, the Government of Ghana launched a Labour Intensive Public Work (LIPW) programme through the Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP). It earmarked $56 million for the execution of the programme in 60 relatively poor districts in Ghana. The programme is directed to offer jobs and income earning opportunities to some identified rural poor, especially the youth, during the seasonal labour demand shortfalls through the rehabilitation and maintenance of public or community infrastructure like roads and dams. Objectives: The article aim to investigate the extent to which the programme has reduce poverty among the youth with the Daffiam Bussie Issah District in Ghana as a case study. Method: A mixed research method involving both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed in the study. The matched case-control study design was adopted. Ninety (90) beneficiary youth in three (3) beneficiary communities of the LIPW programme were compared with ninety (90) youth in three other non-beneficiary communities in the same district. Focus group sessions were also held with beneficiary youth of the programme to understand how the programme has impacted on their lives. Results: The study revealed that beneficiary youth of the LIPW programme were able to increase their livestock holding by 71.4%, monthly income by 24.4%, food consumption by 25.9% and farm sizes by 41.6%. Conclusion: The study recommended that the government of Ghana should scare up the LIPW programme to cover more communities in order to reduce poverty in Ghana

The SMK STIKES Rajawali Bandung project is a unique project because it has a steep terrain location that creates various risks, so a risk analysis is needed. The identification in this study was 32 risks. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods with the stages of identifying possible risks, assessing risks, knowing the causes, and ways of dealing with dominant risks if they occur. The results of the study of the 32 risks consisted of 3 very high risks, 2 high risks, 23 medium risks and 4 low risks. The biggest risk comes from the external risk that can be detected, namely the risk of rain with a score of 20. Therefore, the risk of rain requires ideal treatment using a dewatering pump.

Middle school mathematics teachers often do not emphasise statistics and geometry in their lesson plans for a variety of reasons. However, these are integral topics in mathematics, and using direct lecture or hands-on activities may have different effects on teacher confidence when approaching these subjects. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, anxiety was found to improve with lecture-based workshops, while confidence and effectance was found to improve with manipulatives-based workshops. The results showed some surprising and unsurprising reasons for these conclusions.          Key words: teacher education; math anxiety; manipulatives; geometry; statistics
