The study reveals that though the revenue earned by the projects grow every year, the awareness level of the projects remain relatively low. Findings also suggest that the land record data available in the website are obsolete, and to bring in more efficiency, the portal has to be constantly updated. Also, since there is no integration and interoperability between the revenue and registration department of the state, there is only sub-optimal utilization of the established infrastructure at present. The study recommends immediate integration of the projects to make it more effective.

ObjectiveTo investigate the gap between real-world data and clinical research initiated by doctors in China, explore the potential reasons for this gap and collect different stakeholders’ suggestions.DesignThis qualitative study involved three types of hospital personnel based on three interview outlines. The data analysis was performed using the constructivist grounded theory analysis process.SettingSix tertiary hospitals (three general hospitals and three specialised hospitals) in Beijing, China, were included.ParticipantsIn total, 42 doctors from 12 departments, 5 information technology managers and 4 clinical managers were interviewed through stratified purposive sampling.ResultsElectronic medical record data cannot be directly downloaded into clinical research files, which is a major problem in China. The lack of data interoperability, unstructured electronic medical record data and concerns regarding data security create a gap between real-world data and research data. Updating hospital information systems, promoting data standards and establishing an independent clinical research platform may be feasible suggestions for solving the current problems.ConclusionsDetermining the causes of gaps and targeted solutions could contribute to the development of clinical research in China. This research suggests that updating the hospital information system, promoting data standards and establishing a clinical research platform could promote the use of real-world data in the future.

The 14th general election (GE 14) reveals that Pakatan Harapan (PH) had become a ruling party (2018-2020), but they failed to get any parliamentary or state assembly seats in Kelantan. The failure of PH to expand their influence in Kelantan is due to several traditional factors that are difficult for PH to break it out. This study is a qualitative study and reference materials that are physical and online are used as reference sources. In addition, information regarding political scenario in Kelantan also obtained through interviews with some respondents live in Kelantan. Therefore, this research found that the desire of PH to expand their influence in Kelantan was blurred. This is because PAS wisely set up a long-term political strategy by strengthening the education system under YIK, producing many hardcore supporters or fanatic followers, controlling the ‘surau’ and the mosques according to their needs and control of the state administration. Furthermore, PH needs to make concrete reformations to the party’s management such as producing talented young leaders and fostering a spirit of cooperation among members of the PH coalition if they are still interested in power in Kelantan.

The aim of this study was to examine how the transfer of the affairs of disabled people from the state to the municipalities had proceeded. The process of the transfer was examined and then the largest municipality, Reykjavík, was chosen for a closer examination on the policy and implementation concerning services for disabled people. A qualitative study was conducted in the autumn of 2012. Eight interviews were taken with key professionals who had been involved directly in the transfer or worked on the affairs of disabled people before or after the transfer. A specialist in the affairs of disabled people was interviewed at the Ministry of Welfare and at the Association of Local Authorities in Iceland. Furthermore, a key professional was interviewed in each of the six municipal services in Reykjavík. The interviewees believed that having decided on and gone through with the transfer was the right thing to do. They believed that services closer to the people who need it would be a better choice. The person that uses the services only needs to go to one place in order to receive it, instead of two as before. However, the interviewees had not seen a considerable improvement in the services as expected. A considerable additional funds are needed for the affair. The transition from the state to the municipalities was not sufficiently prepared. The affairs of disabled people requires a lot of interdisciplinary work as well, which the interviewees thought was proceeding well.

  The State of Sabah is consist of multiethnic society in which each of the ethnics has cultural uniqueness that differs from one another. The acceptance of Islam caused an assimilation between the Bajaus traditions and Islamic teaching which then led to syncretism. Consequently, some of the practices are regarded as a part of Islamic teachings even though, these practices are actually inherited from their ancestors unrelated to Islamic rules provided in the al-Qur’an and prophetic traditions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the phenomenon of syncretism in their life cycle. Yet, the objective of this study is attempts to analyze the application of the wasatiyyah methodology in dealing with the phenomenon of syncretism. Accordingly, this is a qualitative study which adopts interviews and data analyze. The findings of the study shows that syncretism occured among the Bajau community. Moreover, in dealing of syncretism between tradition and the teachings of Islam, emerged two groups took a different approach to this issue. The first group are those who seek to practice Islam careful and condemn the heretical doctrine (bidaah) of the Bajau community practices that are not aligned with al-Quran and al-Sunnah. The second group are those who can accept the syncretism as a whole. Therefore, the methodology of wasatiyyah should be applied in dealing with the phenomenon to ensure a balance between idealism embodied in Islamic law with the reality of its implementation in the Bajau community. Keywords: Manhaj Wasatiyyah, Syncretism, Urf, Bajau, Semporna   Negeri Sabah mempunyai sebuah masyarakat majmuk yang dilatari dengan keunikan dan perbezaan budaya yang tersendiri dengan masyarakat lain.

Objektif kajian ini cuba membincangkan fenomena sinkretisme yang berlaku dalam amalan masyarakat Bajau di Semporna Sabah merangkumi aspek kepercayaan tradisi hingga adat kematian. Selain itu, objektif kajian ini cuba mengkaji dan menganalisis aplikasi manhaj wasatiyyah dalam menangani fenomena sinkretisme tersebut. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan metode pengumpulan data melalui temu bual dan analisis dokumen. Hasil dapatan kajian mendapati, terdapat banyak gejala sinkretisme yang berlaku dalam adat resam masyarakat Bajau yang sukar diketahui sama ada adat resam tersebut merupakan ajaran Islam yang tulen atau peninggalan tradisi silam pra-Islam. Selain itu, dalam menghadapi sinkretisme antara adat tradisi dengan ajaran Islam, muncul dua kelompok yang mengambil pendekatan berbeza dalam isu ini. Kelompok pertama adalah golongan yang berusaha untuk mengamalkan ajaran Islam sepenuhnya dan menghukumkan bidaah segala amalan masyarakat Bajau yang tidak sejajar dengan al- Qur’an dan al-Sunnah. Kelompok kedua pula adalah golongan yang dapat menerima sinkretisme secara keseluruhan. Oleh itu, manhaj wasatiyyah perlu diaplikasikan dalam menangani fenomena tersebut bagi memastikan keseimbangan di antara idealisme yang terkandung dalam hukum Islam dengan realiti perlaksanaannya dalam masyarakat Bajau. Kata kunci: Manhaj Wasatiyyah, Sinkretisme, Adat, Bajau, Semporna.

Este artigo apresenta parte de um estudo qualitativo de cunho participativo, realizado entre os anos de 2013 e 2017, e traz uma reflexão sobre a crescente inserção de sujeitos das classes populares no curso de Pedagogia de uma universidade privada localizada na região Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para o desenvolvimento do texto, busca-se situar a chegada desses estudantes na universidade e, em diálogo com as experiências desses sujeitos, os estudos decoloniais e a pedagogia do oprimido, visualizar o deslocamento do sentimento de humilhação para o sentimento de periferia. Entre o desejo de pertencimento e a sensação de inadequação, estudantes se movem no cotidiano do curso de Pedagogia e demonstram outras possibilidades de compreensão do processo formativo. Tomando a relação centro-periferia (DUSSEL, 2006) como metáfora, este texto sinaliza como resultado outra compreensão acerca da formação de professores oriundos das classes populares.
