Allergy was the most common ADRs. However, no ADR was reported. 66.7 % of physicians had a positive attitude towards pharmacovigilance. The most barriers reported by physicians were: lack of motivation and lack of knowledge about reporting system. Reported factors to encourage ADRs reporting were: attend courses or workshops; educational materials and simplification of reporting procedures.Conclusion: Majority of physicians in Sana’a, Yemen had moderate knowledge and postitive attitude towards pharmacovigilance.

The paper discusses results of a case study on the advantages applying pure aspect design patterns in the development of aspect-oriented (AO) application frameworks. By an AO application framework we mean a framework which, alongside with traditional object-oriented (OO) framework customization mechanisms, provides also abstract aspects as hot spots. We have tested the hypothesis that pure AO design patterns should promote the ease of designing collaborating abstract aspects representing hot spots. To this end, we studied the process of reworking of the OO simulation application framework into the AO framework. During this study, appropriate qualitative and quantitative data have been collected. The paper presents the generalization of the collected data and concludes that the above hypothesis has been proven.Objektinio karkaso pertvarkymas naudojant aspektinius projektavimo šablonusŽilvinas Vaira, Albertas Čaplinskas SummaryStraipsnyje pateikiami aspektinių projektavimo šablonų naudojimo aspektiniams dalykiniams karkasams projektuoti eksperimentinio tyrimo rezultatai. Aspektinis dalykinis karkasas – tai toks karkasas, kuriame greta tradicinių objektinio karkaso riemonių naudojami ir abstraktūs aspektai.

Heart Foundation

This case study explores how a leading charity, the British Heart Foundation (BHF), used research to ensure that the focus of its marketing and communications contributed to a story that people found engaging and were compelled to support. Amongst some staff, there was a view that the methodology of some of the BHF’s previous market research was not robust enough and that studies often lacked the quantitative data needed to develop marketing and communication strategies with confidence. Behavioural economics shows that there is usually a disconnect between what people say they will do and what they do in real life, the BHF wanted to develop a methodology that would interrogate this paradox. In doing so, it hoped to identify the areas of its work the public found most engaging and which would encourage people to support them. This insight would then be used to inform their new marketing communications plans. This note explains what the BHF learnt from involving explicit and implicit testing via a mix of qualitative and quantitative techniques.

We analyzed what happens to a nursing home chain when private equity takes over, with regard to strategy, financial performance, and resident well-being. We conducted a longitudinal (2000-2012) case study of a large nursing home chain that triangulated qualitative and quantitative data from 5 different data sources. Results show that private equity owners continued and reinforced several strategies that were already put in place before the takeover, including a focus on keeping staffing levels low; the new owners added restructuring, rebranding, and investment strategies such as establishing new companies, where the nursing home chain served as an essential “launch customer.”

Research demonstrates the critical need for transitional supportive housing (TSH) for survivors of domestic violence (Melbin, Sullivan, and Cain, 2003). However, the presence of such programs around the country is inconsistent, and where programs do exist, little consensus has been attained on what aspects of these programs are most beneficial for clients (Melbin et al., 2003). This paper presents initial descriptive data based on a program evaluation of a TSH facility located in a small rural town in the southern United States. Assessments at both the individual and program levels included gathering qualitative and quantitative data. We present data on the clients in the program as well as the support groups conducted from 2004 through spring 2006. Discussed in the conclusion are lessons learned and the next steps for greater program success.

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.
