The Way

This research primarily aimed to analyse the types of the illocutionary act proposed by Searle (1979), secondly to find the dominant type produced by both sides, between barista and customers’ utterances at Starbucks coffeeshop Changi Airport. This research applied observational method and non-participatory technique as the way collecting the data. The design of this research were qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research is applied to analyse the data in the form text. In contrast, quantitative research used to count the number of utterances, to conclude which types of illocutionary acts find dominantly during the conversation. It was found that directive, representative, and expressive types were in the utterances. Meanwhile, commissive and declaration type did not find in the utterances. The result from this study showed that directives illocutionary act as the most frequently found in utterances, because the communication which takes place in coffeeshop between the baristas and customers usually only needed to ordering and just give information (informing).

Descriptive Qualitative

A pandemia de Covid-19 gerou grandes mudanças na forma de comercializar os produtos da agricultura familiar. Foram dois anos de perdas e incertezas, mas também de redefinição das formas de produção e comercialização dos produtos da agricultura familiar. Neste contexto encontra-se a Comunidade Coelho Atikum Jurema, que, após anos de luta, implantou um projeto de horta comunitária e quintais produtivos. Neste espaço os agricultores familiares passaram a cultivar, de forma orgânica, e baseado na agricultura Atikum, espécies de olerícolas, mediante uma gestão coletiva e parental. Com o objetivo de identificar como a horta comunitária foi afetada pela Covid-19, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva, qualiquantitativa, no período de setembro a dezembro de 2021, onde foi possível identificar uma série de adversidades enfrentadas pela comunidade em adaptar-se ao mercado que surgiu como consequência das regras de convívio social, impostas em decorrência da Covid-19, as quais impactaram diretamente nas técnicas mercadológicas empregadas pela comunidade.---The Covid-19 pandemic generated major changes in the way in which family farming products are sold. There were two years of losses and uncertainties, but also of redefining the ways of production and marketing of family farm products. In this context is the Coelho Atikum Jurema Community, which, after years of struggle, implemented a project for a community garden and productive backyards. In this space, family farmers started to cultivate, organically, and based on Atikum agriculture, vegetable species, through collective and parental management. In order to identify how the community garden was affected by Covid-19, a descriptive, qualitative and quantitative research was carried out from September to December 2021, where it was possible to identify a series of adversities faced by the community in adapting to the market that emerged as a result of the rules of social interaction, imposed as a result of Covid-19, which directly impacted the marketing techniques used by the community.

This study aims at determining the process of learning German by using Contextual Approach at SMA Negeri 8 Makassar. It applies qualitative and quantitative research methods. The results shows that there is an increase of the ability in learning German by using contextual approach. The average test results obtained by the student was 77.50. Whereas in the pre-test given to students average score was 54.85. The factors that influenced the learning process were seen from the efforts of German teachers in improving students' mastery of German by asking the students to practice German both in the classroom and outside the classroom. The other factors were the way of teaching and students in learning German were very enthustic, and the way of teachers motivate the students, and the way of students answering questions given by the teacher, they compete each other. The inhibiting factors were the absence of a language laboratory, the lack of German language books, and the absence of learning media.

Different Cultures

Some in the social sciences argue that the same logic applies to both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This book demonstrates that these two paradigms constitute different cultures, each internally coherent yet marked by contrasting norms, practices, and toolkits. The book identifies and discusses major differences between these two traditions that touch nearly every aspect of social science research, including design, goals, causal effects and models, concepts and measurement, data analysis, and case selection. Although focused on the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, the book also seeks to promote toleration, exchange, and learning by enabling scholars to think beyond their own culture and see an alternative scientific worldview. The book is written in an easily accessible style and features a host of real-world examples to illustrate methodological points.

AbstractComputer and Information Security (CIS) is usually approached adopting a technology-centric viewpoint, where the human components of sociotechnical systems are generally considered as their weakest part, with little consideration for the end users’ cognitive characteristics, needs and motivations. This paper presents a holistic/Human Factors (HF) approach, where the individual, organisational and technological factors are investigated in pilot healthcare organisations to show how HF vulnerabilities may impact on cybersecurity risks. An overview of current challenges in relation to cybersecurity is first provided, followed by the presentation of an integrated top–down and bottom–up methodology using qualitative and quantitative research methods to assess the level of maturity of the pilot organisations with respect to their capability to face and tackle cyber threats and attacks. This approach adopts a user-centred perspective, involving both the organisations’ management and employees, The results show that a better cyber-security culture does not always correspond with more rule compliant behaviour. In addition, conflicts among cybersecurity rules and procedures may trigger human vulnerabilities. In conclusion, the integration of traditional technical solutions with guidelines to enhance CIS systems by leveraging HF in cybersecurity may lead to the adoption of non-technical countermeasures (such as user awareness) for a comprehensive and holistic way to manage cyber security in organisations.

Levels Of Integration

Mixed methods reviews offer an excellent approach to synthesizing qualitative and quantitative evidence to generate more robust implications for practice, research, and policymaking. There are limited guidance and practical examples concerning the methods for adequately synthesizing qualitative and quantitative research findings in mixed reviews. This paper aims to illustrate the application and use of joint displays for qualitative and quantitative synthesis in mixed methods reviews. We used joint displays to synthesize and integrate qualitative and quantitative research findings in a segregated mixed methods review about male nursing students' challenges and experiences. In total, 36 qualitative, six quantitative, and one mixed-methods study was appraised and synthesized in the review. First, the qualitative and quantitative findings were analyzed and synthesized separately. The synthesized findings were integrated through tabular and visual joint displays at two levels of integration. At the first level, a statistics theme display was developed to compare the synthesized qualitative and quantitative findings and the number of studies from which the findings were generated. At the second level, the synthesized qualitative and quantitative findings supported by each other were integrated to identify confirmed, discordant, and expanded inferences using generalizing theme display. The use of two displays allowed in a robust and comprehensive synthesis of studies. Joint displays could serve as an excellent method for rigorous and transparent synthesis of qualitative and quantitative findings and the generation of adequate and relevant inferences in mixed methods reviews.
