The Kenyan Economy: Perceptions and Realities Ipsos
In this release, we present several findings related to the economy.
Underpinning the specific findings is the general reality that three-quarters of all Kenyan households (75%) report a total family income of Shs. 25,000 or less, with more than half of these households (44%) earning between nothing and only Shs. 10,000 (a figure which increases to 46% if those who declined/were unable to answer this question are excluded). In addition, as is seen in several of the specific findings show below, such extensive poverty takes a clear regional dimension. For example, the proportion of those in the Shs. 10,000 and below category is 56% at the Coast compared to 56% in Nairobi, more than twice.
At the same time, these income-group findings over all three Ipsos surveys since May, 2014 show no statistical change, reflecting both the static nature of income-distribution in Kenya, and the reliability of Ipsos’ survey methodology.
This is a PowerPoint prepared to teach the students of BA Economics about methods of data collection. This will help students prepare for their presentations during their tenure of study. You can easily attain good command if you read all the basics in this presentation.

Recruiting Minority Elders to Participate in ResearchUCLA CTSI
This study will examine the barriers that prevent minority elders from participating in research, particularly those studies that involve collection of biomarkers. Minority elders face health disparities but are underrepresented in research. As a consequence, research results are potentially non-generalizable to older, minority adults.

Evaluating a Propensity Score Adjustment for Combining Probability and Non-Pr...ICF
Research designs that make use of non-probability samples offer the possibility of fit-for-purpose data at a fraction of the cost of probability-based designs. In 2012, ICF International designed and fielded a national survey in Canada that gathered data about Canadians’ 2011 nature-based recreation, subsistence, and conservation activities.
To support larger sample sizes at the provincial level, a hybrid design was employed that combined a stratified national probability sample of more than 76,000 adults randomly selected from an addressed-based sample (ABS) with a non-probability sample of adults randomly recruited from a purchased Web panel. As part of the survey weighting, ICF developed a propensity score adjustment to combine the data from the probability and non-probability samples.
This presentation will evaluate the effectiveness of the propensity score adjustment in decreasing bias in key demographic and survey outcomes in the non-probability sample. We will also discuss implications concerning the effectiveness of hybrid designs and the degree to which non-probability data could be considered fit-for-purpose in similar survey applications.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Alternatives to CATI (2):
Probability-based online panels
Telephone Interviewing in the Post-Modern Era Workshop
Melbourne

Rationale for probability-based online panels
Best of both worlds: probability sample with reduced costs
Recruited offline using traditional sampling frames with good representation
of the target population (RDD, address-based sampling, area-probability
sampling, population registries)
Reduce costs by recycling sample (recruit once, use many times), reusing
demographics (fewer questions to ask) and reduce interviewer/paper costs
Larger panels provide access to sub-populations without screening costs
Not yet at this scale in Australia

Rate What is it Rate
Recruitment rate
(RECR)
The rate at which people invited to join the panel initially
agree to participate
19.4%
Profile rate
(PROR)
The rate at which people who agreed to participate
completed the panellist profile and thus joined the panel
77.1%
Retention rate
(RETR)
The proportion of the original panellists who remain on
the panel at a specific wave of data collection
75.5%
Completion rate
(COMR)
The proportion of panellists invited to participate in a
specific wave who complete that wave’s questionnaire
79.1%
Cumulative response
rate 2 (CUMRR2)
RECR × PROR × RETR × COMR 8.9%
Cumulative response rate for Life in Australia™ is lower than European panels with in-
person recruitment, similar to U.S. panels with in-person recruitment and ahead of U.S.
panels with other types of recruitment
14. www.srcentre.com.au
Size of panel: Life in Australia™
Currently, Life in Australia™ has 2,590 active panellists
If we invited all panellists, we could complete approximately 2,000 interviews
Limited ability to target sub-populations of interest at this size
Effective sample sizes accounting for design effects:
Design effect = 2.60
Effective sample size for n = 2,000: 770

Panel conditioning: Life in Australia™
Panel conditioning is the impact of membership in a panel on attitudes and
behaviours
Compared responses of new panellists on the first post-replenishment wave
of Life in Australia™ (Monash/Scanlon Social Cohesion Survey) to veteran
panellists with adjustments for demographic differences between panellists
(age, education, gender, geography, volunteering and internet status) using
weights from coarsened exact matching and regression
Used Hochberg adjustment for multiple testing
No effect found on substantive responses or don’t know/refused responses
16
18. www.srcentre.com.au
Mode effects and transitions
Move to web from phone likely to lead to mode effects
Phone: response recency (more likely to select options read last), at
greater risk of response acquiescence and social desirability
Paper/web: response primacy (more likely to select options appearing
earlier), straight-lining and other response non-differentiation
Prior to moving, rotate phone options to identify items affected by response
order effects (if you don’t already)
Strongly recommend bridging wave or waves fielded simultaneously across
both modes to determine effect of measurement on individual items

Possible future developments
Context: minimum frequency of surveying to keep panel going

AARP panel
Specialist panels
Teachers, health professionals, smokers, quitters
