Semiotic Theory

Analyzing visual meaning online and curating digitized images are topics of increasing relevance, but many potential methodologies for doing so remain merely implicit, underthematized, or unexplored. The potential for testing and developing semiotic theory through the exploration of visual data online also requires far more careful attention. In response, this paper provides an integrated, reflexive, Peircean account of two case studies featuring research projects focused on visual data drawn primarily from sources online, relying heavily on Google Image Search as a data collection tool. The first study illustrates the comparative analysis of brand mark logos to test and refine a theory of embodied semiotics involving oppositional relations. The second study illustrates the comparative analysis of images depicting the Tibetan Wheel of Life and Yama the monster of death, in order to test the embodied grounding hypothesis for the semiotic square. Issues of hypothesis formation, research parameters, data collection, database construction, operationalization, coding parameters, open data archiving and related issues are addressed in order to further develop and encourage practices of researching visual semiotics online in the context of Digital Humanities scholarship.Keywords: Mixed-methods research. Google Image search. Visual content analysis. Semiotic theory. Semiotic methods. Peircean semiotics.

Nussa animation is an animation which is categorized as a medium for preaching. Because the messages conveyed were thick with Islamic teachings. However, not all viewers can understand what messages are contained in the animation. Due to this reason, the study aims to determine the messages of moral da'wah that can be seen directly or indirectly with Ronald Barthes' semiotic theory. The method used in this research is qualitative analysis, with data in the form of documents. Data collection using observation and documentation. The theory that is used as the basis is Roland Barthes' semiotic theory which focuses on denotative and connotative meanings. The results of the study are the denotative meaning of dakwah morals, (1) Have an attitude of help. (2) Always say thank you for a help. (3) Always have a sincere nature when helping. (4) Doing rejection well. (5) Providing opportunities for children to do good (6) giving love to children. (7) always say "Astafirullah" when hit / hear a disaster and say "Alhamdulillah as a form of gratitude. Meanwhile, the meaning of the message of moral teaching is connotative, (1) It shows that Islam is a soft religion, rahmatan lil alamin, helpful and tolerant (2) Want to break the paradigm under the religion of Islam having followers who are very rigid and do not want to interact with other people. (3) Providing education to children to do good deeds with anyone regardless of status and religion.

Mixed Method Study

In this study, teacher candidates’ attitudes, self-efficacy perceptions towards inclusive education, and their situation towards in-class practices were determined. A total of a hundred thirty three pre-service teachers participated in the research voluntarily. The study was designed according to the parallel mixed methods research in which both quantitative and qualitative data (QUAN + QUAL) were used together. As data collection tools, “Attitude Scale towards Inclusive Education”, “Self-Efficacy Scale for Inclusive Education” and “In-class Practice Scale for Inclusive Education” were used. In addition, during the collection of qualitative data, teacher candidates were asked to complete the statement, “In my opinion, inclusive education is like…. because….” To determine their metaphorical perceptions. When the results of the study were examined, teacher candidates, it was determined that the perceptions of self-efficacy towards inclusive education and the concern for personal equipment differ in terms of various variables. In addition, the participants chose the positive metaphors that they produced for inclusive education. Among these metaphors, respect for differences, acceptance of diversity is expressed as coexistence due to the structure of inclusive education that unites society.

Financial Aspect

       The purpose of this study is (i) identifying the non-financial feasibility of duck and duck cracker making business in terms of market, technical aspects and management aspects (ii) analyzing and (iii) comparing the financial feasibility of making duck and duck crackers in Central Amuntai District. The research was carried out on the "Dhandy" duck jerky in Antasari Village and "Mama Irfan" duck crackers in Kota Raden Hulu Village, Amuntai Tengah District, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency in May - August 2013. The research method used was case studies and data collection with interviews. Qualitative analysis of market, technical and management aspects is processed descriptively. Quantitative analysis uses investment criteria, namely analysis of present net value / NPV, return on investment / IRR, Net B / C ratio and return period of investment, the results of the two analyzes are followed by comparative analysis. The results of the non-financial aspects showed that the "Dhandy" jerky duck and "Mama Irfan" duck crackers viewed from the market or technical aspects were worth the effort. However, viewed from the management aspect, the two businesses are not feasible because they are still in the scale of small businesses, family efforts and implementation are still traditional. The financial aspect of the "Dhandy" duck jerky business is worth showing the NPV value of Rp.5,950,594, - the IRR of 12.92%, net B / C of 1.22 and the pay back period of 4,5024 years. Whereas the "Mama Irfan" duck cracker business is also worthy of the NPV value of Rp. 31,874,247, -, the IRR is 51.93%, net B / C is 2.71 and the pay back period is 2.4716 years. Comparative analysis shows that the "Mama Irfan" duck cracker making business is more feasible compared to the "Dhandy" duck jerky making business.

This chapter introduces the various design choices researchers need to decide on prior to conducting the study. The chapter starts with a detailed description of what research design is, followed by an explanation of descriptive, explanatory, or exploratory research questions. This determines what type of data will be collected. The major strategic implementation methods for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods are then discussed. The three strategies for mixed methods research—parallel convergent, sequential, and embedded design—are presented in detail along with the rationale for their use. Finally, in the last section, the strands or sequencing of the data collection phase of the study are explained.

Quality Of Data

Public health deals with promotion of health, prevention and treatment of communicable and non-communicable diseases by designing appropriate health interventions and services to deliver through the health systems. There is a need for robust database on the magnitude of disease burden, socio-demographic characteristics and associated risk factors for evidence-based effective planning and developing appropriate strategies, their implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Although India has vast information available through various large-scale surveys and research studies, it still lacks a reliable health information management system. The available data are seldom analysed to draw meaningful conclusions, to develop evidence for policies and strategies and to measure effectiveness of health programmes. The challenges faced in the survey research are multifaceted, from data collection in the field to its rapid transmission of data to central data servers. There is an increasing trend in using technology, especially computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI) which is not only expensive but also requires extensive training and information management for transmission of data and its storage. This article examines the application of technology in survey research for efficient data management and to improve data quality. A software called Open Data Kit (ODK) was used for data collection and real-time monitoring of interviewers in field to improve the quality of data collection, achieve desired response rate (RR) and for better field operations’ management. The data collection and field reporting forms designed using ODK act as a significant tool to demonstrate how technology can be used to articulate research expectations at various levels with lower cost and higher efficiency. The research article examines all possible aspects of using technology in Health Survey Research. It aims to introduce further discussion of using technology for field data collection and monitoring.
