<p>Several authors have written methodological works that provide an introductory- and/or intermediate-level guide to conducting mixed analyses. Although these works have been useful for beginning and emergent mixed researchers, with very few exceptions, works are lacking that describe and illustrate advanced-level mixed analysis approaches. Thus, the purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of <em>multivariate mixed analyses</em>, which represents a complex form of advanced mixed analyses. These analyses characterize a class of mixed analyses wherein at least one of the quantitative analyses and at least one of the qualitative analyses <em>both</em> involve the simultaneous analysis of multiple variables. The notion of multivariate mixed analyses previously has not been discussed in the literature, illustrating the significance and innovation of the article. <strong></strong></p>

Abstract. The on-going research project „Identification and evaluation of processes that can arise by disposing of both high level radioactive waste (HAW) and low to intermediate level radioactive waste (LAW/MAW) at the same site“ (GemEnd, FKZ 4719F10401), commissioned by the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE), is concerned with the question which thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, chemical and biological (THMCB) processes could be of importance for the long-term safety of the geological repository for high level radioactive waste. The focus of the project is on mutual influences between the HAW and LAW/MAW repositories, which should be constructed separately according to the Safety Regulations (Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, BMU, 2020). A second point of emphasis is on processes that could result from the disposal of small amounts of LAW/MAW within the HAW repository. The analyses carried out for each of the potential host rocks clay rock, rock salt and crystalline rock as well as for a combination of clay rock above crystalline rock at a generic site are divided into a qualitative and a quantitative part. As for the qualitative analyses, all potentially relevant processes are identified and evaluated as to whether they are negligible or principally relevant for the exemplary repository configurations considered and according to the current state of knowledge. With regard to the quantitative analyses, the possible extent of potentially safety-relevant processes is illustrated by means of coupled numerical simulations. Of special interest are the effects of particularly sensitive model approaches and/or parameters and notably of the distances between the HAW and LAW/MAW repositories in the different exemplary repository configurations considered. From the results of the quantitative and qualitative analyses, knowledge gaps will be identified and the possibility of their reduction by research and development activities will be discussed. Furthermore, aspects of the transferability of the results to the German site selection procedure will be illuminated. At the interdisciplinary research symposium safeND selected preliminary results of both the qualitative and quantitative analyses will be presented.

The purpose of this study was to explore and to understand the daily life experiences of 8 women doctoral students who were in pursuit of their doctorates. A partially mixed concurrent dominant status design was utilized in this study embedded within a mixed methods phenomenological research lens and driven by a critical dialectical pluralistic philosophical stance. Specifically, these 8 students were interviewed individually to examine their lived experiences as doctoral students. The interview responses then were subjected to a sequential mixed analysis that was characterized by 2 qualitative analyses (i.e., constant comparison analysis, classical content analysis) and 1 quantitative analysis (i.e., correspondence analysis). The 2 qualitative analyses revealed the following 3 metathemes: adjustment (how these doctoral students made necessary accommodations with regard to all aspects of their lives), which comprised the themes of time management, interaction, belief, and lifestyle; encouragement (circumstances that motivated them to pursue their doctoral degrees), which comprised the themes of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation; and discouragement (circumstances that demotivated them from pursuing their doctoral degrees), which comprised the themes of internal discouragement and external discouragement. The correspondence analysis revealed a fourth metatheme, namely, marital status (separating the single students from the married/divorced students), which comprised the themes of locus of motivation and locus of discouragement. Seven of these women doctoral students struggled to balance either dual roles (i.e., as doctoral students and wives/mothers, or as doctoral students and professionals) or triple roles (i.e., as doctoral students, wives/mothers, and professionals). Implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract A quantitative and a qualitative method for the determination of acetone peroxides were subjected to collaborative study. Quantitative analyses are based upon liberation and titration of hydrogen peroxide from acyclic peroxides and hydroperoxides by dilute sulfuric acid and standardized potassium permanganate, respectively. Single determination of 6 samples (varying in per cent levels of peroxide equivalent) each of baking premixes and milling premixes produced very good collaborative results. Qualitative analyses, achieved by comparing infrared spectra of acetone-extracted organic peroxides with acetone-extracted organic peroxides from a reference premix, gave peaks characteristic of the premixes. No interferences were seen from various starch blanks. Both the quantitative and the qualitative methods are recommended for adoption as official, first action.

Abstract This study investigates the semantic variations of three near-synonymous space particle constructions of containment in Chinese: [zài NP lǐ/nèi/zhōng]. While previous work has mostly applied qualitative analyses of the semantic differences between these particles, this study presents a corpus-based analysis examining the relationship between space particles and their co-occurring landmarks in the locative construction. Two quantitative analyses were conducted: a multiple distinctive collexeme analysis and a post-hoc semantic analysis. Our results suggest the following. First, lǐ is a more unmarked particle in encoding containment, co-occurring with both canonical landmarks and a wider range of entities. Second, nèi shows a strong preference for landmarks denoting temporal concepts; this metaphorical use often implies a preplanned objective in the proposition, with the landmark as an intended deadline. Finally, zhōng shows a strong connection to landmarks denoting high-dynamicity events. This extended use often comes with a marked aspectual reading of the landmark.

Joshi or particle is a class of words that cannot change the form, other than that Joshi cannot stand itself. Joshi must be attached to another class of words to gain meaning. In the Japanese language, one of the joshi groups that can connect noun and noun or noun and verb or adjective called the kakujoshi category, two of them are o and ga particles. One of the functions of o and ga particles have the same function as an object marker; many Japanese language learners still have difficulty in using o and ga particles as an objective marker. This research is how Japanese language learners' understanding of using o and ga particles in Japanese sentences. The method used the quantitative and questionnaire technique. This research concludes that many respondents have passed the advanced level in the Japanese language proficiency test, and need more than two years for study. However, the understanding of Japanese learners in the use of o and ga particles are still at the intermediate level.

Sustainability and sustainable development are cornerstones of many of the greatest challenges that engineering faces in the 21st century. Yet, most engineering programs do not explicitly prepare students to engineer within the bounds of sustainability. While engineering education must change in order to more fully integrate sustainability, such change should leverage intersections among what engineering students bring to the table, how engineering educators teach, and the sustainability challenges defined by experts in engineering. This study focuses specifically on what students are bringing to the table by first comparing what students intend to contribute to a more sustainable world to what they should contribute as defined by the grand challenges of engineering. Qualitative analyses of what students say about how they intend to contribute to sustainability show that these statements cover only a small subset of the grand challenges. Additional quantitative analyses show that more engineering students than students in non-STEM fields (business and education) have a strong sense of personal responsibility regarding critical sustainability issues in sustainable energy and waste management. These results suggest that, with proper intervention from engineering educators, engineering students are well positioned and motivated to pursue and expand their sense of responsibility for sustainability.

In this study, we analyze the kind of actions L1 and L2 speakers of Italian perform by prefacing their responsive turns with the discourse marker be’. As a baseline, the article begins with an analysis of how native speakers of Italian use be’. We then carry out quantitative and qualitative analyses of the use of be’ in a number of L2 learners at different proficiency levels from three data sets of different types of interactions between students and native speakers of Italian. In the qualitative analysis, we adopt a conversation analytic perspective. The results suggest that both native speakers and L2 speakers, from intermediate to advanced level, perform a variety of social actions by be’-prefacing their responsive turns.

Preparation and analysis bioethanol of sago (M. sago) from Papua have been carried out. The preparation of bioethanol was conducted by hydrolysis, fermentation, distillation and purification. The length of fermentation applied is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 days. Bioethanol then was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative analyses were boiling point and molecular weigh determination. Quantitative analyses were determination of the volume of bioethanol content and the composition of bioethanol of every length of fermentation. Based on the qualitative analyses, the sample obtained was ethanol with boiling point of 79 oC and molecular weight of 46 gram/mol. Whereas based on the quantitative analyses, the more length of fermentation, the volume of ethanol obtained and the composition of ethanol increased, with the optimum of the fermentation length was 8 days and the volume ethanol obtained was 123.5 mL, in addition the composition of ethanol at fermentation length of 8 days was 100%.

Teacher educators have a limited amount of time to prepare candidates for becoming political change agents. Therefore, we have to understand the efficacy of preparation efforts. As a result, we developed the Equity Scenario Response Survey to understand our candidates’ preparation of their sociopolitical identity, defined by equity knowledge and skills. Findings from quantitative analyses revealed a reliable and valid scale, while qualitative analyses provided rich information about candidates’ understanding and application of skills. Overall, the utilization of quantitative and qualitative methods allowed researchers to understand from a critical race perspective, the preparedness of candidates’ sociopolitical identity to confront inequities.
