▼ This study aims to investigate the determinants of capital structure in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia and their effect on firms’ performance. The study addresses the following primary question: What are the factors that influence the capital structure of SMEs in Malaysia? The sample of this research is SMEs in the east coast region of Malaysia. Adopting a positivist paradigm, the research design includes a preliminary study comprising 25 interviews with the owner-managers of SMEs, which is analysed using thematic analysis. The results are used to finalise the conceptual framework for the main study, which takes the form of a self-completion questionnaire survey. Usable responses were received from 384 firms, giving a response rate of 75.3%. The survey data is analysed using a series of binomial logistic regression models. Results reveal that there was no indication for the impact of owner’s education and experience on capital structure decisions. Other owner-related factors, firm characteristics, management performance and environment were found to relate to all types of capital structure. Both complete and partial mediating effects are also discovered in this study. The results provide evidence to support the pecking order hypothesis (Myers, 1984; Myers and Majluf, 1984), agency theory (Jensen and Meckling, 1976) and culture model of Schwartz (1994). It appeared that owner-managers in Malaysia do not strive to adjust their capital structure towards some optimal debt ratio, which is contrary to the static trade-off theory (DeAngelo and Masulis, 1980) of capital structure. This study makes several important contributions to the existing studies of capital structure. This research led to the development of a model of capital structure determinants by integrating factors related to owner-managers, firms, culture, and environment. This study incorporates methodological triangulation that may mitigate the problem of the difficulties in accessing financial data of SMEs in Malaysia. This study also provides meaningful insight into the financing preferences of the owner-managers with relevant implementations to academics, business practitioners, financial providers and policymakers. The research findings should assist owner-managers in making optimal capital structure decisions as well as help the policymaker in making an appropriate policy on the financing.

▼ This thesis presents an empirical research that aims to explore insight generation in discrete-event simulation (DES) studies. It is often claimed that simulation is useful for generating insights. There is, however, almost no empirical evidence to support this claim. The factors of a simulation intervention that affect the occurrence of insight are not clear. A specific claim is that watching the animated display of a simulation model is more helpful in making better decisions than relying on the statistical outcomes generated from simulation runs; but again, there is very limited evidence to support this. To address this dearth of evidence, two studies are implemented: a quantitative and a qualitative study. In the former, a laboratory-based experimental study is used, where undergraduate students were placed in three separate groups and given a task to solve using a model with only animation, a model with only statistical results, or using no model at all. In the qualitative study, semi-structured interviews with simulation consultants were carried out, where participants were requested to account examples of projects in which clients change their problem understanding and generate more effective ideas. The two separated parts of the study found different types of evidence to support that simulation generates insight. The experimental study suggests that insights are generated more rapidly from statistical results than the use of animation. Research outcomes from the interviews include descriptions of: the phase of a simulation study where insight emerges; the role of different methods applied and means used in discovering and overcoming discontinuity in thinking (for instance, the role of consultant s influence in problem understanding); how some factors of a simulation intervention are associated with the processes of uncovering and overcoming discontinuity in thinking (for example, the role of clients team in the selection of methods used to communicate results); and the role of the model and consultant in generating new ideas. This thesis contributes to the limited existing literature by providing a more in depth understanding of insight in the context of simulation and empirical evidence on the insight-enabling benefits of simulation based on an operational definition. The findings of the study provide new insights into the factors of simulation that support fast and creative problem solving.

▼ Continued hunting participation is critical to maintain funding for natural resource conservation agencies; however, the hunting population has been decreasing on a national level. During recent decades, the number of female hunters has increased and to a degree mitigated the reduction in hunter population. Increased in female participation has prompted numerous studies, yet these studies primarily focused on females who hunt rather than comparing males and females within a hunting population. Moreover, gender can influence leisure preference and participation, so it is important for researchers to consider the influence of gender on hunter recruitment and participation. Previous studies of hunters often utilize close-ended questionnaires, yet this method may not provide researchers with a full understanding of hunters’ perceptions of reality. I used semi-structured interview techniques to identify factors associated with hunter recruitment, participation, and retention to obtain more detailed accounts of hunter experiences in Illinois. Males and females interviewed differed in their hunting experiences, so studies that do not stratify by gender can fail to understand female recruitment and retention. Females were more likely to report mentoring and encouraging other females to hunt than males. Female-only programs provide opportunities to females to learn shooting and hunting skills, but developing programs that emphasize hunting as a family activity may help to recruit and retain females who are motivated to spend time with their family. Differences existed between comments discussed by interviewees and results of previous studies, suggesting utilizing only quantitative research methods may provide incomplete accounts of the hunting population. Using qualitative research methods will assist researchers to better understand gender differences in recruitment, participation, and retention, which will in turn guide quantitative assessments and assist mangers in developing hunter recruitment and retention programs.

Rapporten syftade till att undersöka om det finns likheter och skillnader mellanutbildade formgivares och lekmäns uppfattningar avseende formgivna alster.Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tre formgivare och tre lekmän,kring tre definierade kategorier, avseende utseendet på fem musikaffischer. Detre kategorierna var åsikter kring affischernas informationskvalité, estetik ochhantverk.Individuell smak tycktes påverka åsikterna kring affischerna mer än utbildningoch erfarenhet inom formgivning. Formgivare föreföll uppleva informationensom tydlig, samtidigt som lekmännen inte gjorde det. Formgivarna märkte flersmå detaljer jämfört med lekmän. Lekmännen märkte sällan typografiska fel.En affisch kunde vara för avancerad för en lekman, den kunde också vara för fulför en formgivare. Det fanns ett mellanläge där båda grupper uppfattadeinformationen och utseendet som bra och tilltalande. Lekmännen tyckte oftareatt tydlig information var viktigare än ett bra utseende.En slutsats i rapporten är att målgruppsanalyser tycks vara viktiga att genomföraeftersom formgivarnas åsikt om vad som var tydligt och informativt inte alltidstämde överens med lekmännens. Med sådana kan den grafiska designen blimer ändamålsenlig och troligen få ett bättre resultat.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine if there are similarities and differences between educated graphic designer’s and laymen’s opinions when viewing design work.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three graphic designers and three laymen. The interviews focused on three defined categories regarding the design of five music posters. The three categories were opinions about the posters’ quality of information, aesthetics and craftsmanship.Individual preferences seemed to affect opinions of the posters more than education and experience in graphic design. Designers sometimes experienced the information as clear, while the laymen did not. Designers also noticed more small details compared to the laymen. The laymen seldom noticed typographic errors.A poster could be too advanced for a layman, it could also be too ugly for a graphic designer. There was a middle ground where both groups thought the information to be clear and the poster to be aesthetically pleasing. The laymen more often considered clear information to be more important than good aesthetics.To conduct target group analyses seems to be the most important conclusion from this thesis since the designer’s opinions on what was considered clear and informative did not always correlate with the view of the laymen. With such analyses the graphic design can be more purposeful and probably produce a better result.

There is a need for a more efficient use of existing infrastructure to improve the accessibility, liveability and safety of Dutch cities, metropolitan areas and provinces. A projected solution to growing mobility issues is Smart Mobility. From a scientific perspective, research has only been performed on the possible effects of Smart Mobility technologies. Yet, not much literature exists on the success and failure criteria for the implementation of Smart Mobility.The main objective of this research is to gain knowledge on obstacles and opportunities for implementing Smart Mobility in the Netherlands in order to fill the knowledge gap for road authorities and science. Six themes were observed in total during the analysis of the coded interview transcripts. After that, eighteen obstacle and nine opportunity categories were constructed. Three obstacle categories, one obstacle theme, one opportunity category and one opportunity theme for implementing Smart Mobility in the Netherlands were found to be crucial factors for implementing Smart Mobility in the Netherlands. The obstacle categories are (1) organisational inertia, (2) the changing role of governments, (3) cooperation with other governmental institutions and market parties and (4) the theme obstacles related to execution. The opportunity category is (1) (social) benefits and the theme is (2) cooperation and knowledge sharing. The most frequently addressed opportunity category was social benefits. Interviewees stressed that Smart Mobility is a mean, not a goal. Social benefits were named in all sorts and shapes: social benefits for the liveability of cities, quality of life, sustainability, sense of safety, and social prosperity. The most frequently addressed obstacle category was organisational inertia. On top of that, many interviewees had doubts whether people will accept Smart Mobility innovations and technologies in their daily lives. The scientific literature on Smart Mobility is far from conclusive. This thesis research is a thin cross-section of Smart Mobility efforts of road authorities in the Netherlands. However, it does give a rich image of the efforts and heuristics on Smart Mobility in the Netherlands.

▼ The research investigates the Centro Velico Caprera (CVC), a sailing school located in the Mediterrean Sea, whose purpose is to replicate the lifestyle of a ship on land. This ambition creates an isolated environment in which the frequenters are completely immersed and the life is heavily controlled through different spatial and temporal means. The people who attend the school and become part of its community refer to its characteristics and to the collective essence they experience as 'the Spirit of Caprera'. Using an ethnographic approach and in particular participant observation as a primary source of data, and formal semi-structured interviews, the research investigated the internal dynamics of the school and the nature of the 'spirit' by looking at the setting from the insiders' point of view. The investigation aspired to gain a better understanding of the setting as a sailing community and of the relationships that are created that appear to make this environment unique. The research used sociological concepts as 'benchmarks', such as total institution, status and roles, routine and rituals, subculture and power, to guide the data collection and the analysis. Moreover, it made use of key thinkers such as Goffman and Foucault. The analysis has revealed that in the Centro Velico Caprera the 'spirit' can be considered as the consequence and result of more specific dynamics. In particular, the school's organisational and institutional structure, the time management, the role and functioning of authority and finally the rules and norms that derive from the idea of being part of a unique crew. The research engaged also in the analysis of social class and gender discrimination that characterise the school. The study of this school contributes to the study of sport and in particular sailing, which has often been ignored, by adding a new perspective and analysis to its study. The main contributions surround the comparison with other similar sailing subcultures and realities, such as ocean cruising, the development of the concept of the sport panopticon related to authority and its functioning, the notion of spirit, its meaning and significance, and the particular structure of the institution with its consequence for the frequenters. Moreover, the study also aimed to contribute to the narrower debates surrounding the 'benchmark' concepts, their use and their understanding in social theory and for sport studies.

▼ The issue of standards for household latrines is complex because discussions related to standards for latrines in literature from the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector tend to focus on the negative aspects of standards and highlights cases where the miss-application of standards in the past has caused problems. However, despite concerns about the constraints that standards can seemingly impose, there is an acknowledgement that standards can play a more positive role in supporting efforts to increase access to household latrines. The World Health Organisation has long established and widely recognised standards for water supply quality and quantity but there are no equivalent standards for sanitation services and there is currently no guidance that deals with the topic of standards for household latrines. Household latrines are a small component of the wider sanitation system in a country and by considering how standards for household latrines operate within this wider sanitation system the aim of this research is to understand what influences standards can have on household latrines and explore how the negative perceptions about standards and latrine building can be overcome. The development of guidance on how to develop well written standards is the core focus of this research. This research explores the factors that can influence the development and use of a standard for household latrines in Rwanda using three data collection methods. Document analysis using 66 documents, including policies and strategies, design manuals and training guides from 17 countries throughout Sub-Saharan Africa was used in conjunction with the Delphi Method involving an expert panel of 27 from Rwanda and 38 semi-structured interviews. The research concludes that perceptions about standards for household latrines are fragmented and confused with little consensus in Rwanda on what need a standard should meet and what role it should play. The study has found that the need for a standard must be considered in the context of the wider sanitation system otherwise it can lead to duplication of efforts and increased confusion for all stakeholders. The study also found that there is an assumed link between standards and enforcement of standards through regulation and punishments which creates the negative perceptions about standards in Rwanda. However, despite this aversion to standards, there are still intentions to promote the standardisation of latrine technologies and designs, led by national government in Rwanda and in other Sub-Saharan African countries. The contribution to knowledge of this research includes a decision process presented at the end of the study which can be used by decision makers who are interested in developing a standard for household latrines. The decision process acts as a tool for outlining how a standard can operate within the national sanitation system. This understanding provides decision makers with the basis for continuing the debate on what a well written standard looks like in the national context and…

▼ The identification and utilization of community funds of knowledge has been essential in understanding and assisting cultural groups to bridge the achievement gap. The purpose of this study was to examine the community funds of knowledge, the role of the parent, and the partnerships of a rural school in southeastern Appalachia, United States. Qualitative research enabled exploration of interactions between parents and teachers, roles parents play in the educational process, and teachers' use of existing funds of knowledge in the provision of educational services to young at-risk children. Two pre-kindergarten teachers and four families were involved in the study from the 2009 -2010 state pre-kindergarten program. The data from ethnographic semi-structured interviews, observations, and documents were coded, categorized, and identified by themes. Results indicated that the school functioned as connector between the community and its residents. Teachers were cognizant of the community funds of knowledge and utilized this knowledge in their teaching and assessment practices. The teachers gained cultural literacy through participation and observation of school and community events and interactions. As a result of having only one mid-year conference report, there was limited evidence to conclude the teachers' documentation of students' community funds of knowledge within the context of the select community. Although teachers engaged in practices that strengthened family involvement, the home-school partnerships could be enriched. Families informally partnered by teaching foundational skills at home. The recognized partnership began when the children enrolled in school with families engaging in volunteering, extending learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the school community. An added outcome was the relationship between the community and the school. The relationship was reciprocal with positive outcomes for community members, businesses, teachers, and students, and families. This partnership is unique and dates back to the establishment of the community with special emphasis given to the character and values of the local residents. Additional research can focus on the communication of educational standards prior to entering school and increasing the participation of marginalized populations. Teacher perceptions of student backgrounds can also be reviewed in light of their effect on the quality of school-family partnerships.

▼ Background. Stepped care is widely implemented as a means to organise depression treatment. However, it is unclear how this system and the system it was designed to replace – long-term intensive psychotherapy for all – compare. Aim. To further the development and evaluation of stepped care. Specifically, assess the clinical effectiveness of stepped care and prepare for a fully-powered evaluation of stepped care vs. high-intensity psychotherapy alone for depressed adults. Design. A systematic review and mixed methods feasibility study encompassing a pilot randomised controlled trial and semi-structured interviews. Results of the systematic review. Fourteen randomised controlled trials involving 4580 participants were included. Relative to controls, there was significantly greater improvement in depression for adults treated with stepped care (d=0.34 at six months; 95% CI 0.20 to 0.48). The quality of included studies was good and there was little evidence of publication bias. All comparisons were with usual care. Results of the feasibility study. 66 patients were recruited to the pilot trial. The recruitment rate was 2.9% and follow-up data was obtained from 90.9% of participants. A third of stepped care patients stepped up to high-intensity therapy. Patients improved in both groups: the mean reduction in depressive symptoms was 13.4 in the stepped care group and 13.6 in the high-intensity therapy alone group. Recruitment methods were appropriate to patients and therapists but only somewhat appropriate to IAPT staff. Although the stepped care intervention was broadly acceptable to therapists, patient experience varied and some patients who demonstrated a low level of self-efficacy declined any therapy or dropped out of treatment. Conclusions. The effectiveness of stepped care compared with long-term intensive psychological therapy for all has not yet been established. A fully-powered trial of stepped care vs. high-intensity therapy alone is feasible although pilot trial methods and procedures should be modified to improve recruitment and acceptability.

Syfte:Att undersöka barnmorskors upplevelser och erfarenheter av att ställa frågor om våld enligt nationella riktlinjer. Design: Intervjustudie baserade på nio enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Omgivning: Fem mödrahälsovårdscentraler i norra Sverige. Deltagare: Nio barnmorskor, som arbetade på landstingsägda och privata hälsocentraler. Barnmorskorna som var i åldrarna 34 – 62 år hade erfarenheter av att arbeta inom mödravården liksom förlossningsvården. (Alla deltagare gav muntligt och skriftligt medgivande på att delta i studien). Resultat: Deltagarnas upplevelser och erfarenheter att arbeta med stöd av riktlinjer och fråga om våldsutsatthet kan sammanfattas i det övergripandet temat: Behöver rätt verktyg för att våga öppna Pandoras ask. Kategorierna: Sakna förutsättningar för att arbeta på ett bra sätt, Övervinna hinder, Hantera egna känslor och Känna trygghet och stöd när arbetet känns svårt beskrev olika aspekter av upplevelser och erfarenheter. Slutsats: Trots att riktlinjerna upplevs som stöd för arbetet visade studien att frågan om våld kan vara svår att ställa på grund av olika omständigheter. Barnmorskan kan då välja att avstå från att fråga eller skjuta upp frågan till ett senare tillfälle i det enskilda fallet trots medvetenhet om att hon ska ställa frågan. Kliniska implikationer: Mer utbildning och fortbildning behövs för barnmorskornas trygghet i att arbeta våldspreventivt. De riktlinjer som finns kan behöva utvecklas och förbättras för att minska osäkerheten vid olika dilemman när barnmorskan ska fråga om våldsutsatthet.

Objective: To explore midwive´s experiences of posing questions about intimate partner violence according to national guidelines.Design: Interview study with individual semi-structured interviews using qualitative content analysis for analysis.Setting: Five antenatal clinics in northern Sweden.Participants: Nine midwives, working in public and private antenatal care clinics. Midwives aged 34 to 62 years with experiences in antenatal health care as well as delivery care participated. All participants gave their verbal and written concent to participate in the study.Results: Participants´ experiences working with support of the guidelines and terms of intimate partner violence can be summed up in the overarching theme: Need to have the right tools to dare open Pandora´s box. The categories: Lack of opportunities to work in a good way, Overcoming barriers, Manage your own emotions and Feel safety and support when work feels difficult described different aspects of experiences.Conclusion: Although the guidelines are perceived as supporting the work study showed that the issue of violence can be difficult to make because of the different circumstances. The midwife can then choose to refrain from asking or defer the matter to a later date in the case despite awareness that she should ask…

The purpose of my study is to study pre-school teacher’s conceptions of free play. This study focuses teacher’s view of free play, its possibilities and obstacles as well as the environmental effects and a teacher’s views of their own effects, on free play. My study was done with the help of qualitative semi-structured interviews. This method was chosen as ameans to achieve a deeper and more elaborated response from the interviewee and to create space to pose follow-up questions during the interviews. The paper is split up into different sections to reflect that structure as well as to keep the paper cohesive and clear (Dysthe, Hertzberg & Løkensgard Hoel, 2014). The results showed that while free play is in fact something which is given a high priority within the organization, it is not always as free as one would think. This is due in part to the fact that free play is rarely problematized or discussed. The consensus among teachers is that there are obstacles which block genuine free play and that free play is an important factor for development, learning and cooperation. A conclusion reached was that teacher’s would like to create an environment which encourages the development of a child’s play skills and to find the balance between freedom and rules.

Syftet med min undersökning är att ta reda på vad pedagoger i förskolan har för tankar om den fria leken. Min studie handlar om hur pedagogerna ser på fri lek, vad de ser för möjligheter och hinder samt hur deras egen roll och miljön påverkar. Undersökning genomfördes med hjälp av kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. Metoden användes för att få djupare svar och för att ge utrymme till att ställa följdfrågor under intervjuerna. Arbetet indelas i olika rubriker för att ge det struktur samt att det blir mer överskådligt och entydigt (Dysthe, Hertzberg & Løkensgard Hoel, 2014). Resultatet av studien blev att den fria leken är något som ges stor plats i verksamheten men att den inte alltid är så fri som man tänker sig då den sällan diskuteras eller problematiseras. Samtliga pedagoger menar att det finns hinder för att leken ska bli just fri, som till exempel miljön men de var enade om den fria lekens betydelse för både utveckling, lärande och samspel. En slutsats blev att pedagogerna gärna vill skapa lekskickliga barn men att det är svårt att finna balansen mellan frihet och regler.
