Interview schedule development for a Sequential explanatory mixed method design: complementary-alternative medicine (CAM) study among Indonesian psychologists

Sequential explanatory mixed method design is the most frequently applied in both health and social sciences literature. It is denoted by ‘QUAN → qual’ which represents the quantitative study occurs first and has greater weight in addressing the study’s aims, and the qualitative study follows to explain quantitative results. Despite the extensive use of sequential explanatory design, there are limited references to this design. Therefore, this methodological paper attempts to fill the gap by providing an illustration in developing a sequential explanatory interview schedule based on complementary-alternative medicine (CAM) study among clinical psychologists in Indonesia. The most important step to develop sequential explanatory interview schedule was the construction of aspects and questions that were immensely grounded on the most notable quantitative results. In this study, eight aspects of interview schedule were constructed after analyses of the nationwide survey. The interview schedule then piloted among participants with fairly similar characteristics to the participants in the main interviews. This process enhanced the quality of questions through feedback from participants and improved the interviewer’s skills through familiarization with questions. It is expected that this reflection report could be adopted as a practical guideline in developing interview schedule for sequential explanatory mixed method design, particularly in the field of psychology.

太极之理在中医学中的体现

太极是中国古代医易学研究的重要范畴。太即初始、宗源、无上之意,极即尽头、极点之意。中国古代哲学认为,万事万物都存在于太极中,太极内部阴、阳两种能量的互生互克是生育、滋养宇宙万物的源泉。太极之理通贯中医学,其所蕴涵的医学道理不仅零星出现在《易经》的卦辞中,而且集中体现在中医的气论、阴阳论、整体观、五行说、藏象说等各个方面。     

西方医学在近代中国传播的社会效应

考察西方医学在清末民初传入中国时的途径,最初人们对这种新兴医学的态度和认识过程,以及后来的发展状况,可以帮助我们从文化传播、社会经济、国家政治的视角,了解西医传入中国后所引发的医学体系、医疗事业、医药商界的利益纷争和外交政治诸方面的变革,认识西方医学给近代中国社会带来的影响。     

清代中医界对西洋医学的认知与回应

从疑虑到认可、接纳,基本构成了清代中医界对西洋医学的认知轨迹。到了近代,中医界以平和的心态应对西医的冲击,通过研究和比照,取开放的姿态认可与接纳西医,并试图通过“汇通”中西医精华,寻求中国医学的发展路径。     

中医理论体系的逻辑自洽与范式更新

中医理论体系根植于中国传统文化,其逻辑架构具有很强的稳定性。这个稳定性及其范式是一把“双刃剑”,它在把中医学的研究和实践推向广度和深度的同时,带有顽固的排他性。论证了中医理论范式更新的必然性与长期性,提出中医学革命的关键在于把核心概念导入经验的范畴。     

从中医语境的范畴看思辨格局

语言的范畴是思想的格局。中医语境的范畴与古代汉语相比要少得多,而在为数不多的几对范畴中,阴阳的覆盖面却过于广阔,结果使中医思辨总是囿于阴阳的格局之中。另一方面,一些古汉语中的重要范畴在中医思维中的缺失也规定和制约了中医的思维形式:未能从古汉语里引入“有无”范畴,可能与中医轻本质重现象有关;未能引入“自他”范畴,可能与中医注重主观感受有关;未能引入“分合”范畴则可能与中医注重整体关联有关。

Relocating investments by Tunisian insurance and pension funds towards alternative assets opportunities

This article explores the different barriers preventing Tunisian insurance and pension funds relocating their investments to alternative assets as a source of diversification and the different policy-led measures that could be put in place to support them during their initial years of existence. Data analysis techniques, namely multiple correspondence analysis and hierarchical classification, are employed to hold the analysis in alignment with the research aim. The study investigates four groups of Tunisian insurance and pension funds, each characterized by its own investment challenges regarding alternative assets. Subsequently, the study examines certain improvement areas, for instance, reforming the legislative framework to facilitate a supportive tax environment, ensure information symmetry and transparency, etc. The approach of this study is novel for being the first of its kind to explore Tunisian insurance and pension ‘funds’ investments in alternative assets through data analysis techniques. In view of the fact that the history of research on this topic has been brief and fragmented, limited mostly to mature markets, the outcomes of this research can offer useful insights for policymakers in the emerging economies, particularly those undergoing reforms in young democracies like Tunisia in Africa, Eastern and Central Europe, and Latin America.
