Questions related to Informality
why are people in informal settlements the majority or perceived to be the ones that must vote in elections?
I need to adapt a research questionnaire for my study but I really cannot find anything yet. My study is a qualitative study.
Research indicates that in English-speaking cultures, people welcome interruptions during informal conversations, seeing them as a form of active participation. However, in Japanese culture, interrupting someone while they are speaking is considered impolite. What is it like in your culture or country? Feel free to discuss this issue. It would be even better if you could provide any relevant studies from your country!
I’m currently learning about the similarities and differences between research and evaluation in my graduate course at ASU.
As an instructional designer, I conduct informal research to learn about new projects, and I create structured evaluation plans to identify the success of projects. So, my experience with research and evaluation is dichotomous; they are mutually exclusive concepts.
I’m curious about others' experiences where research is a subset of evaluation, or vice versa. Would you share examples from your perspective?
Sabemos que la Ley de Dependencia ha contribuido a la mejora de la calidad de vida de las personas en dependencia y sus cuidadores informales pero aún así, sabemos que sigue habiendo sobrecarga principalmente en las mujeres y esto genera problemas psicológicos y sociales. ¿Cómo se puede trabajar esta problemática desde el trabajo social?
I am using STATA to estimate total factor productivity in Indian informal manufacturing sector through the semi-parametric method of Levinsohn–Petrin. I am interested to compute Malmquist Index. Which kind of Data is required for that? Is there any instruction manual to do so? Kindly guide.
The picture shows a GITT diagram of a graphite and silicon composite half cell. Why does it indicate a reversible to higher voltage in the circles shown? Is it due of the electrode's high resistivity, or is there another reason?
I am working on a research on challenges and opportunities that women entrepreneurs face in informal trade.
Can they correctly identify a language's value system in that informal language grasp?
What do you think about the use of technological devices (tablets, smartphones, smart tvs)in terms of learning a foreign language for 0-3 years old and preschool (3-5 years old) children but informally without any curriculum and program outside the school?
Can information happen accidentally but meaningfully without being systematically dictated to children? Or does the use of technology, which is left to its own nature, does not provide learning and causes neurological problems in children?
Hello to all dear friends!
Can you introduce suitable sources for studying the topics of urban segregation, inclusive city and informal settlement?
Thank you for your help
It would be very useful for business and for the site so that world forecasters would unite in one group (it’s called “preliminary forecast”) on this site and it would be possible to ask a question to seismologists, closed t outsiders since you can’t scare people, but you need to somehow attract colleagues and maybe protect some country from victims.
I am writing this because a strange anomaly appeared, possibly indicating a future strong earthquake at a great distance from Turkey, Israel ...
(there is some possibility that this is Mexico or the NZ zone - Fiji, etc.)
You just need to pay attention to the thermal waters and Radon.
Dear Administrator. If you open the group that I ask about - it should be made closed, put me as a Moderator and everyone who enters it takes the obligation not to expose data to outsiders.
In this group, informal forecasters will be able to present their forecasts.
Thank you. Alexander Yagodin.
Transboundary learning cultures and schooling (TLCS) researchers are devoted to doing transcultural, transdisciplinary, and trans-paradigmatic research in each Asia-Pacific country and region. Glocalization and the COVID-19 pandemic initiated and have transformed learning and teaching spaces, integrating daytime schooling and shadow education, individual learning and collaborative learning communities, informal and informal education, learning and teaching in real and virtual worlds, lifelong and life-wide education, online and offline learning, and theory and practice. Such TLCS analyzes the phenomenon of transboundary space, which shapes new research directions in transcultural, transdisciplinary, transnational, and trans-paradigmatic education.
In this special issue, we call for papers on the theme of transboundary learning cultures and schooling (TLCS), asking the following questions:
What are new possible research agendas and potential implications of decentering the lens of cross-cultural, cross-national, cross-regional, and cross-theoretical analysis in cultural studies, educational and social research, and policy implications in TLCS?
What are the key concepts of ‘transboundary’ in learning cultures and schooling in contextualized studies when TLCS researchers conceptualize ‘cross-boundary’ or ‘passport-hopping’ in understanding Asia-Pacific practices?
What is the ontological status of the TLCS research in education? What are the assumptions and limitations of the TLCS research (especially in Asia-Pacific)?
What are the contributions of making cross-paradigm and cross-methodology comparisons in further development of research paradigms, methodology, and methods? What are the underlying logic and axiological frameworks of traditional research paradigms and methodology?
What is the scope of investigation of some transcultural, transdisciplinary, transnational, and trans-paradigmatic education studies in TLCS research on academic success?
How do postmodernist researchers map TLCS with other modernist research paradigms in a broader picture of multiplicity in daytime and shadow education?
How do comparativists locate the ‘lens’ of comparative and international education (CIE) in TLCS research for its further policy and research development?
Hello scientific community, I need a method to identify informal settlements.
the data I have:
-Satellite image sentinel 2 : resolution = 10 m
-The footprints of buildings covering the whole area (formal and informal settlements) :resolution = 0.5 m
For validation i have : statistical documents of informal neighborhood from public authorities.
Thank you all.
- the studies concern the informal economy, always studied without linking it to the revenues earned through tax evasion and Fraud. So, do revenues from tax evasion and tax evasion finance the informal economy? therefore, can we say that the fight against evasion and tax Fraud finds methods to formalize informal economy?
- Is it possible to calculate the amounts of tax evasion among the amounts that financing the informal economy?
- En Francais:
- Les montants de fraude et de fraude fiscale sont-ils considérés comme des revenus destinés au financement de l'économie informelle ?
My research title is: Perinatal Mental Health and ethnicity: Black Mothers with experience of a traumatic birth and their perspectives of seeking support in the perinatal period.
I plan to look at the journey of mothers who identify as being from a black ethnic background, who also identify as having experienced a traumatic birth and having experienced mental health concerns within the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth, a year post birth).
Research questions plan to ask the following:
- What are participants’ experiences of support (informal and formal) throughout pregnancy, birth and the first year of their child’s infancy?
- What experiences of racism do participants have relating to accessing services and receiving care within the perinatal period? What is the perceived impact of this upon them and their lives?
- Do participants feel a readiness / desire to engage with formal or informal support?
- What are the social views of participants’ family and kinship? (Are they subject to any form of disapproval?)
- What are participants' perceptions of mental health and seeking support for this?
- What are the reasons for accessing / not accessing support?
- What are the prenatal life events of participants? Such as anxiety, general emotional distress, perceived stress, or pregnancy specific distress.
I have originally written in my research proposal that I will use Grounded Theory, however, I am concerned about the complexity of using this method, since I have never used it before, and wanted to check whether another qualitative approach could be better suited to the work?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any guidance you are able to give.
Hi, everyone! I am a migrant entrepreneurship scholar. Currently, I am doing research on migrant entrepreneurs in Russia, highly informal and unstable market. I faced difficulty in finding a right term to describe my respondents' business activities. Could anyone give me some clues/directions?
I look for a term that grasps individuals’ transition from wage to self-employment within one industry through replication of a business model of a former employer. In this process, entrepreneurs utilise essential entrepreneurial capital acquired at the place of their previous employment to start and sustain an own enterprise. This entrepreneurial capital is represented by startup capital; networks to clients, suppliers and partners; and human capital in the form of industry knowledge and effective business practices. In Western context, it goes against a standard non-solicitation clause, but in Russia, with its weak low institutions and wide-spread informal entrepreneurship especially among migrants, it is not a concern at all. Any help will be highly appreciated!
Some developing countries with a striving informal economy have low unemployment and high GDP. In contrast, others with a smaller percentage of the informal economy have very high unemployment levels and low GDP.

Any alternative methods against informal theoretical security analysis.
My research paper will be focusing on The Impact of Caregiving Burden and Coping Strategies on Burnout Among Informal Caregivers.
Therefore, I am planning to use Two-way ANOVA and Multiple Regression to study the interaction between these variables:
IV: Caregiving Burden, Coping Strategies
DV: Informal Caregiver Burnout
Would greatly appreciate it if advice is given on whether I am on the right track, or to suggest any other suitable models. Thank you for your time.
There is no doubt that architects are designing some stunning and inspirational learning and research spaces in universities around the world. There is significantly more attention being paid to the role of technology in supporting learning, flexible learning spaces, and comfortable and vibrant informal learning spaces. However, it seems that offices for academic staff and working spaces for HDR candidates may not be seen as representing optimal uses of space in new buildings. Rather a world of collaboration, hot-desks, shared pods seem to be being promoted and offices represented as outdated 20th century ornaments. There seems to be evidence that this is leading increasingly to academics choosing to work from home (and HDR candidates struggling to find spaces that they can call their own). What is the evidence for 21st century university buildings prioritising aesthetics and 21st century design over the practical needs of users?
I often get solicitations to submit articles and I assume these are all predatory journals. Is that a safe assumption? I suppose if someone tried to publish an official list of predatory journals they would receive pushback, but does anyone maintain an informal list?
Hello.
I've been recently doing a research on the Argument Based Validation model of Kane (1990, 2011) and Bachman and Palmer (2010).
In one of Kane's articles (2004, p.145) it is stated that argument based validation more than scientific theories uses informal logic and practical reasoning. My question is that what is the advantage of this approach? Also, I will be thankful if you provide examples about it since I cannot understand how it is really practiced.
Thank you
Please help me by filling this questionnaire, it is very important to accomplish my research about the interactive spaces in universities buildings. Those spaces becoming more important after the great transformation in learning methods from teaching to more informal learning and interaction.
I wish that you can fill it as soon as possible.
From the one hand the prizes and jobs should be granted to the most qualified candidates: it’s a crime otherwise. So, clever people should never discuss the another possibility. But from the other hand, members of committees usually know the personal situation of applicants. And want to delicate help somebody in need (probably, help to get some kind of gratitude from he or she later).
If such positions and prizes are just an informal money allowance, is it shaming to pretend on it if you are okey? To eat the bread of widows, orphans, ill people, males who are under the pressure of gender stereotypes, and probably the staff of security service? Is Academia for poor and unhappy people only? If so for that the right to get a scientific education is granted to everybody?
Do you know some real stories there the personal information affected the decision making procedure? Could you tell such stories without spreading the personal information of somebody else (including applicants and committee members)? How to study this phenomenon? And how to avoid the spreading of your own information by other “kind” persons?
I'm writing a chapter re the promise and challenges of use of free online Open Ed Resources (OER) for a forthcoming book (due late 2022) about informal science/STEM learning, both K-12, higher ed and lifelong learning. If anyone has done ed/learning research
on the use of games of any kind (board games, RPG, video and online games, etc) on improving STEM learning, please email me
offlist: ted@designworlds.com and I can then forward to the two editors of this book.
Or if others want to contribute to this discussion, please do so.
This was catalyzed by my discovering how much of a community has been playing the board game, Pandemic, over the past 1-2 years...and how effective this and other games are:
Thanks

Cognitive pillar refer to those that determine the extent to which wider belief systems and cultural frames are imposed on or adopted by individual actors and organizations. And informal institutions also refer to cultural beliefs..
I have a very simple model where I measure the effect of tone of voice on purchase intention, moderated by brand alignment. I have a 2x2 between subjects model, with tone of voice levels being informal vs formal, and brand alignment levels being warm vs competent.
When I run a two-way anova, I see that the main effect for tone of voice is not significant. However when I run it in a one way ANOVA, this effect is significant. Can someone explain why this is, and if i were to report the one way anova would this be incorrect?

would you please help me to finding some articles about informal settlements on a provincial scale ?
I am looking for references of studies describing the link between informal transport and urban sprawl in Latin-america, Asia or Africa. Is there a synergy between informal transport and urban sprawl? What are its characteristics?
Big data analysis has many applications in all areas of contemporary life (economic, military, medical, educational, political, arts fields ... and almost all areas of life), and this occurs as a result of the multiplicity of users, programmers, bloggers, and official and informal government agencies that all use computers and the Internet. Now, what makes the flow and pumping of data a continuous process that does not end day or night ..
How can this be applied in universities and scientific research?
I contacted already different firms, but cannot find where to buy nescofilm. I would like to test this membrane for blood feeding insects.
We are conducting a pilot study of an intervention for informal caregivers of persons who have recently received a bone marrow transplant in the US. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please feel free to share the study link. Thank you.
To be precise, I am looking for studies on informal labour that have taken on board Sanyal's category of the Need Economy and his 'Politics of Exclusion' in studying the political-economy of post-liberalization India/countries in the global south?
I urgently need a map that shows the point locations of informal settlements in South Africa. I am currently working on a study that seeks to relate protests location to the location of informal settlements in South Africa. I would appreciate if anyone can provide a link to the spatial data that show the location of these settlements across South Africa.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has bloomed since 2009. Will it be accepted and regulated by the central bank to be used as trading mechanism in the near future? Albeit there has been minimal informal usage of Bitcoin in some trading.
Also, which country would be possibly become the first in regulating the use of cryptocurrency in daily transaction?
There are two test groups including formal and informal. In formal, we refer to statistical tests, and in informal, we mean graphs. When the sample size is large, the smallest departure from normality is indicated as p-value <0.05 in all formal tests such as Shapiro-Wilk or Kolmogorov-Smirnov. While we need approximate normal to perform most parametric tests (such as independent t-test). As stated in the book entitled "Applied Linear Statistical Model", large departures from normality are important to us, and in these cases, we must use transformations or non-parametric tests. Now if this graph is obtained from data with a sample size of 250, do you consider it normal or non-normal (assuming that the normality assumption is rejected in Shapiro-Wilk or Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests).
Is recycling a challenge to the governments of developing countries?
A strong will for more serious aggressively organized recycling initiatives, embedded with strict regulations supported through public awareness projects/programs to be instituted both by formal and informal organizations. Government realization of seriousness and ineffective initiative as projected to date does not seem to have brought any positive change, rather the conditions keep deteriorating over the years.

What type of expected physical and socio-economic variables can be taken to examine unprecedented growth w.r.t informal developmental growth?
If possible, please suggest some variables. I shall be thankful 😊🙏
I am looking for outcomes (individual or organizational) related to the creation of a positive informal work environment. Can anybody recommend me articles on the topic? Thank you in advance.
[Actions I consider as 'creating a positive informal work environment': Demonstrate compassion; Value people; Encourage flourishing by inspiring positive emotions; creating positive relationships and articulating meaning; Foster trust and collaborative coherence; Create an environment of support and understanding; Create collaboration and built a level of commitment and ownership; Improve employee’s non-work life; Create a sense of global identity – a sense of belonging; etc.]
P.S.: At the same time I am also looking for outcomes (individual and/or organizational) related to the creation of formal work environment.
[Actions I consider as 'creating a positive formal work environment': Share knowledge / information; Making a long-term commitment to employees; Initiate communications / establish open communication channels; Involve employees in decision making; Paying above-market wages that enable a better quality of life; etc.]
Need to know specific parameters which impact the learning culture variables.
El aprendizaje entre pares es una práctica educativa en la que los estudiantes interactúan con otros estudiantes para alcanzar objetivos educativos.1 Ya sea que tenga lugar en un contexto de aprendizaje formal, informal o no formal, en grupos pequeños o en línea, el aprendizaje entre pares manifiesta aspectos de la autoorganización que están ausentes en su mayoría de los modelos pedagógicos de enseñanza y aprendizaje tradicionales.
I need some tips on how to analyse and write down a report of a semi-structured interviews, I collected answers and i have to begin to analyse and report the answers, this is a part of my empirical study of my Phd about the integration of informal settlements into the city

The informal economy is often ignored when it comes to supportive policies particularly in times of crisis. Although it contains 2 billion workers (ILO,2020) worldwide, and with no alternative source of income. Stop working is not an option for those working in the informal economy.
based on this can we say that the informal economy helps the spread of the pandemic? if yes. why the African countries that are known with the spread of the informal economy has relatively small infected cases?
We would like to reconstruct inflammatory conditions in cell culture. From the literature, I got the information of a pH in inflamed tissue of 6-7 which is not that exact. Has anyone a more exact value of inflammatory pH? That would help a lot for the experiments.
Thanks a lot!
Covid - 19 and its impact on the gray economy
I am searching for economic activity data such as GDP or income growth, income inequality and size of the informal economy as well as environmental shock. I am planning to use the data to address contextual factors that are missing from the Demographic and Health Surveys. Thanks for your guidance
Dear Colleagues,
I am a liaison (informal) at my university between science and the arts. I have family in planetary astronomy but this is far afield.
LINK to VIDEO: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/01/largest-gaseous-structure-ever-seen-in-our-galaxy-is-discovered/
A question or two:
What does this newly-reported Radcliffe Wave of gaseous proto-stars tell us about how our galaxy originated?
Is there any chance that this wave will make some difference in our own sun's behavior?
How has the learning in physical education differ in formal learning and informal learning across cultures
The unorganized sector account for a major share of total employment,particularly in the developing nations. In India, a major chunk of employment is due to informal/unorganized sector. But a number of problems are there in this sector which needs immediate attention.Let us try to identify and evolve effective measures to resolve these issues.
The research project will be illuminate by this generalization:
Teaching practices developed by professors to combining informal learning at web 2.0 with formal learning at higher education courses, it corresponds with liquid and connective education phenomenon, because of teachers act like content curators trying to extend the learning to real contexts, combining structured and unstructured teaching activities.
At our core, we are concerned with data quality as well as the quality of our statistical analyses.
- What kind of processes have you implemented, just for yourself or within a research team, to check for transparency and reproducibility of your results?
- Have you any formal or informal peer-reviewing experience with regard to your statistical analysis?
- What kind of info is mandatory in your syntax files?
Thanks!
For my project, I made my participants 'select all that may apply' by asking them how they received informal recognition.
Ex: Received a thank you from manager
Received email from manager
Received handshake
and more...
I separated each response by itself and each response is its own variable on SPSS.
Ex: 1 = Received a thank you from manager
0 = other
I want to see which informal recognition received by my participants yield a greater employee engagement.
Main question: Which statistical analysis in SPSS should I use to find this? I've been struggling to figuring it out and hopefully you guys can steer me to the right direction.
Thanks,
Hector
Digital practices saturate in students' lives and taking a role of boundary crosser and connecting social practices connecting personal, academic and professional spheres. We could argue that draw from the formal and informal learning contributing to authentic learning.
Please share your views ...
The sources which I found are dealing with the employees control over their work, or work autonomy. My interest is in measuring perception of intensity of external control over employees, that is the pressure that employees feel from the part of management control systems and informal control mechanisms. I am looking for authors and sources who have applied similar approach. What constructs are available to measure the intensity of control?
Need a valid and easily accessible psychometric tools for measuring the psychological well being with respect to general health condition and quality of life of the informal carers of people living with Alzheimer. Those informal caregivers includes family members, spouse and other family relative who are not from the health background.
Informal reports provide ample evidence of heavy outbreaks of Cyanobacteria in freshwater and marine ecosystems of Uruguay https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Ciencia-y-Tecnologia/El-ataque-de-las-cianobacterias--que-sucede-con-este-fenomeno-en-Uruguay--uc710025
While there is some detailed information about the "usual suspects" found nearly every year, I did not find data about the species and toxins "participating" in this recent outbreak.
We have just started ReCreaDe a 3 year project investigating the ways that informal and nonformal learning can widen the scope for understanding the relationship between democracy, diversity and education.
The question is to help us add examples of practice and strengthen our literature base.
The aim is to support skills development, social inclusion and critical thinking through different activities and innovative pedagogical actions, as well as dialogues with various stakeholders on the role and nature of democracy within education and the critical relationship between democracy and diversity. Participatory and intercultural approaches to heritage, as well as educational initiatives fostering intercultural dialogue involving educators and young people are being undertaken. This will also include critical case studies addressing the experiences of excluded communities and the implications for educational, democratic and civic engagement.
Thanks.
The meaning of abandoned spaces, especially industrial spaces, with over grown spontaneous vegetation have been widely studied in the Western world. I want to know is there any relevant Chinese literature studying the meaning and significance of this new urban wilderness in Chinese context? Informal green spaces also exist in China, but until now I have not found much Chinese research about this field. Most research is about how to regenerate these spaces and often ignore the meanings of these sites.

Biocomputing—The invisible hand of AI?
"Fascinated by the secrets of medicine, in an informal discussion in 2014, we asked the famous surgeon I. Lascar, a professor at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, what the secret was to a successful operation. Among the syntheses and content-related explanations, Professor Lascar pointed out that surgery is assisted, besides a number of strictly scientific factors, by a so-called invisible hand that contributes to the success of an operation and which all physicians rely on. In this context, the success of biocomputing research and development as part of the bio computer could be the catalyst for leaping to a level of AI that surprises us in terms of intelligent performance and behavior. Current achievements, such as the design of the biological transducer; the monitoring, programming, and behavioral control of the live cell (via logical operations AND, OR, and NOT); and technological challenges such as the decoding of live cell communication and the future development of a natural language of living cells (N2LC) used in biocomputing could turn biocomputing into the invisible hand of biological systems stretched towards artificial systems, especially AI."
For my thesis I am conducting my analysis, and am having problems with the second part of my analysis. For my second effect, I am looking at the effect of tone of voice (informal vs formal) on purchase intention, moderated by the Schwartz culture value of power.
Can I use a two way anova here? As the construct of power values has continuous and therefore not grouping variables.
Please help!!
Hello, Mikhail. I started writing a request to you, of a paper published in the Academy of Management Proceedings. But it was incomplete and sent. I hope I can know make myself clear. I have been studying informal learning at work for some years. My current project associates learning strategies at work, as proposed by Warr (U. Sheffield), to work design (as proposed by Morgeson in 2006) and to professional development (a criterion variable proposed by Brazilian researchers). I noticed that you have two publications, on informal learning, in JAP. I will download them. They may be of great interest to my research group at the University of Brasilia.
In Ghana and most developing countries there seems to be a gab between improved indicators and the actual effects on the ground. Most academicians discount this fact but I think there is an iota of truth in this claims because margin of error in the measurement of economic indicators in an informal economy might be higher than anticipated bringing the overall indicators into question.
I am working on mapping advice networks in formal organizations, as a method to voice i.e. a PSU specifically. It is looking at leadership i.e. leadership effectiveness (exchange), informal networks(advice networks) and types of voice.
My questions include 2 scales for the same.
How do I best ask questions for and map advice networks? The roster method is not acceptable to the organization. Will the name generator system with questions on interaction, advice and frequency be effective?
Can you advice me on the best method? Please share your experience and any papers too.
For Arabic researchers only .... Are there any institutions (Formal or informal) interested in anthropology in your country?

This question comes from my experiences as TTO, MSTPARK. I think all kinds of knowledge is not transferable in a same way. we need to experience different ways, for example formal and informal approaches we should take.
I am writing my thesis on sustainability performance of the automotive manufacturing companies and this is one of the empirical questions of my research.
- I believe that we are a less formal society than we used to be. The dress in church, for example rarely includes suits for men. We are addressed many times by our first names. Many aspects of our daily life include many more informal moments. True?
We are considering adding experiential learning in our engineering curriculum in the soph/jr years. Some of the experiential learning will be formal (classes) and others informal (professional societies, mini baha etc). We were wondering if there are literature results where the effectiveness of adding these opportunities was measured? We have done a comprehensive search and have found no direct studies. thanks for your time!
I am serving on the program committee for the 2019 Ecocity World Summit and would love for you to participate and submit an abstract (http://ecocity2019.com/program/abstract-guidelines/).
We are also seeking volunteers to review abstracts for the Socially Just and Ecologically Sustainable Cities theme. Sub-themes include Climate Action, Circular Economy, and Informal Solutions for Sustainable Development. Please contact me if you are interested in reviewing.
Can anyone share research with me on informal reasoning and if it has been measured and/or quantified for psychometric purposes? I see the research is more centered around how informal reasoning impacts thought processes regarding argument styles; however, have we researched this outside of that area? If so, please share.
