A simple cross-tabulation of experience with minimalist democracy before 1918 and interwar democratic breakdown reveals a manifest empirical pattern: All the old democracies of north-western Europe and the former British settler colonies survived the interwar crises. Moreover, in Latin America the countries with democratic legacies experienced longer spells of interwar democracy. A subsequent statistical analysis demonstrates that the strength of the associational landscape is robustly associated with interwar patterns of democratic breakdown even when we control for a number of structural and institutional factors. Finally, both democratic legacies and the vibrancy of associational landscapes were strongly associated with deeper background conditions. These findings indicate that deeper structures shaped the baseline risk of interwar democratic breakdown, but also that it was the more proximate factors of democratic experience and vibrant associational landscapes, which translated structural conditions into either democratic resilience or fragility.

The employment of persuasive technology in education, computing, sales, health, and environment is dramatically increasing. Persuasive technology is powerful in changing the attitudes and behaviours of end users. This paper begins by presenting the ethics of persuasive technology which are relevant to Islamic values and beliefs, and how the concept of persuasion had been applied in Islam practices to influence people. It explores how persuasive technology and its design factors presented in FBM are related to the Islamic practices proven in the Quran and Hadith. Additionally, this paper discusses persuasive technology strategy tools and their activities from Islamic prospective. The paper also examines in depth how Islamic concepts improve the perception of persuasive technology as an interactive computing system which is able to modify attitudes and behaviours. Essentially, this paper also demonstrates how practices and principles of the design factors and strategy tools of persuasive technology have been identified and utilized in early Islamic age. Those principles and strategies are further analyzed from Quran verses and Hadith that are of particular relevance. The conceptual results claim that Islamic principles are a contemporary and universal religion that takes care of the persuasive technology aspects and view of the critically of persuasive technology to Muslim society

This chapter discusses the principles of bivariate analysis as a tool for helping researchers get to know their data and identify patterns of association between two variables. Bivariate analysis offers a way of establishing whether or not there is a relationship between two variables, a dependent variable and an independent variable. With bivariate analysis, theoretical expectations can be compared against evidence from the real world to see if the theory is supported by what is observed. The chapter examines the pattern of association between dependent and independent variables, with particular emphasis on hypothesis testing and significance tests. It discusses ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and cross-tabulation, two of the most widely used statistical analysis techniques in political research. Finally, it explains how to state the null hypothesis, calculate the chi square, and establishing the correlation between the dependent and independent variables.

Implementing SOP (Standard and Operational Procedures) is one of the efforts to protect workers from occupational hazards, especially for high risk jobs such as working at height. The purpose of this research is to analyze factors that related the compliance of PT Sri Murni worker with working at height’s SOP in Tunjungan Plaza 6 project. This research is analytic observational with cross sectional design. The subject of this study were the sample of workers taken using simple random sampling and obtained the number of 33 respondents . The available data have been presented in the form of frequency distribution and cross tabulation, then analyzed statistically by chi square. The results showed that most workers was complianced with working at height’s SOP. The results of statistical analysis showing that knowledge (p=0,010, r=0,447) and communications (p=0,016, r=0,418) as factors that significantly related to working at height’s SOP and have moderate relations. Personality (p=0,656) and safety supervision (p=0,464) were not related to working at height’s SOP compliance. Suggestion to the company based on the results of research are to increase worker’s knowledge through safety talk or training, and the safety man to pay more attention to workers while they are doing working at height’s job so they could more compliance to SOP. Company should also provide PPE as much as the number of workers.
