Survey participation among general practitioners: comparison between teaching physicians and a random sample

Objective Health scientists strive for a smooth recruitment of physicians for research projects like surveys. Teaching physicians are an easy to approach population that is already affiliated with a university by teaching students in their practice. How do response rates compare between a convenient online survey among teaching physicians and an elaborate postal survey in a random sample of unknown physicians? Data from the TMI-GP study on the use of memory tests in general practice were used. Results Physicians in the random sample responded to the postal survey more often than teaching physicians to the online survey (59.5% vs. 18.9%; odds ratio 7.06; 95% confidence interval 4.81–10.37; p < 0.001). Although it is unclear whether the sample, the survey mode (online vs. postal) or both account for this effect, it is noteworthy that even in such a convenience sample of known/committed physicians, an adequate response rate could not be reached without a tailored and elaborated survey technique. Responders in the two samples were comparable regarding a content-related item (use of memory tests; Χ2 (df = 1) = 3.07; p = 0.080).

Effectiveness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the Student’s Academic Achievement at University Level

The focus of this research is to explore the impact of ICT on students’ academic achievement.In this research study two university, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi Pakistan (PMAS_AAUR) and Fatima Jinnah Women University Pakistan (FJWU) were selected Students from both male and female gender selected with multistage random sampling techniques. There 100 sample sizes of students and 30 sample of teacher were selected. A questionnaire was used as tool of research. This instrument was validated by the panel of experts. Internal consistency coefficient (using Cronbach Alpha) was used to check the reliability and its value was 0.951. The researcher herself collected the data conducting a survey technique. The researcher herself collected the completed questionnaires. After the interview the collected data of information were coded and analyzed with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The paired t-test, frequency and percentage were applied for comparison of the study.

Effects on Employee Motivation of Working Conditions in National/International F&B Enterprises

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of variables on the working conditions of national/international chain F&B enterprises on employee motivation. One hundred and sixty-four people working in 11 chain F&B enterprises in Turkey, in Kırklareli province, participated in the survey. The sampling method was used easy sampling for research. The research was conducted by applying survey technique from quantitative research methods. Regression analysis, factor analysis, Mann Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis analysis were performed in the analysis of the obtained data. As a result of the factor analysis performed, two different components were obtained under working conditions and three different components were obtained in the context of motivational variables. As a result of the simple linear regression analysis performed, it is found that a significant part of the change in the motivation variable depends on the working conditions. Research results are thought to be beneficial to F&B managers.

Teleworking and Information Security Management in Commercial Sector Companies

Currently, working conditions have been evolving continuously, which makes it necessary to incorporate teleworking as a means of support to fulfill the tasks entrusted. However, this type of employment brings with it vulnerabilities within companies that are not prepared for such a situation. For this reason, a teleworking model is proposed to improve the management of information security in organizations in the commercial sector. This research is of a basic type with a non-experimental design and correlational level, with a quantitative approach, the survey technique, and a questionnaire was used as an instrument that was applied to 70 workers in the commerce sector. The results show that 54.29% consider the organizational change in companies as deficient, 62.86% indicate the use of technologies as deficient, and 84.29% consider that the level of confidentiality of the information is regular. These results reflect that information security management must be implemented to provide greater reliability, integrity, productivity, control, and protection to teleworking processes.

The Effects of Massive Classes in the English Language Andragogy: A study at Cholistan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (CUVAS) Bahawalpur

The research investigates the impact of class size on English as second dialect andragogy in proper setup. The exploration was conducted at CUVAS Bahawalpur. For English language instructing, several BS classes are merged, which came about into an expansion in class size.

Psychological Drivers of Alternative Fuel Vehicles’ Adoption and Ecologically Responsible Use

Environmental problems caused by global warming are becoming alarming with every passing day. To curb greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions, promoting alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and sustainable transport mode choices is critical. This study explores the predictors of eco-social purchase, use, and conservation intentions in a developing country by employing an extended model of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Using a self-administered survey technique, data were collected from a nationally representative sample of 1372 customers of three leading automobile manufacturers from eight big cities of Pakistan. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to test the measurement and structural models. Results showed that the extended model of TPB received support in the context of Pakistani culture and for the targeted behaviours related to eco-social purchase, use, and conservation intentions concerning AFVs. Implications for marketers and theoretical contribution are discussed at the end.

Analisis Nilai Karakter Religius dan Rasa Ingin Tahu dalam Buku Ajar Kimia Kelas X pada Materi Struktur Atom

This study aims to determine the emergence of the values of religious character and curiosity contained in the chemistry textbook in high school class X on the atomic structure material. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of content analysis research. The subjects of this study were chemistry teachers at the Langsa State Senior High School, namely SMA Negeri 2 Langsa, SMA Negeri 3 Langsa, SMA Negeri 3 Langsa, SMA Negeri 4 Langsa and SMA Negeri 5 Langsa. This research uses descriptive method with survey technique. Data collection techniques were carried out by interview and observation. Research activities use analytical techniques consisting of 6 steps, namely unitizing (determination of units), sampling (determination of samples), recording (recording or recording), reduction (reduction), inferring (drawing conclusions) and narrating (describes). The results showed that the emergence of religious character values in chemistry textbooks on atomic structure material was 11 sentences and the emergence of curiosity character values was 12 sentences.
