While much research exists on the benefits of using postal surveys especially in B2B marketing, it is understood and almost universally accepted that postal surveys are synonymous with low response rates. The paper presents results from a study carried out within the wine industry in Australia where a variety of techniques were utilised to overcome the expected low response rates. The various methods that were implemented to test how response rates can be influenced include the accompaniment of the survey with a reply paid addressed envelope, a coversheet on University letterhead explaining the offer of results in return for completing the survey, pre-notification and reminders via e-mail and the drop and collect survey method. The findings are significant in that a combination of techniques was used on the dyad (buyer and supplier) which allowed for comparison of relative effectiveness and success of the techniques. A timeline used to test these techniques is presented and the subsequent influence is presented. This research provides valuable insights to academics who, because of various circumstances (inaccessibility, cost etc.), have no choice but to use postal surveys. It is interesting also that pre-notification by e-mail had a significant impact.

ABSTRACT The survey method is one of the most frequently used quantitative approaches in management accounting research. For research surveys, the number of usable responses is an important feature, and high response rates present one opportunity to achieve large sample sizes. Response rates describe the share of usable received responses compared with the survey population. To date, we know little about what impacts response rates in management accounting survey research. In this paper, we therefore examine 140 survey articles published in the two most highly regarded specialist journals of management accounting research, the Journal of Management Accounting Research and Management Accounting Research. Our results indicate that in recent years, response rates in management accounting research have experienced a downward trend. We also find that survey population size, the region where surveys are conducted, the scale of surveys, the hierarchical level of respondents, the research topics examined, random sampling techniques, and the establishment of contact with the survey population before sending out questionnaires are all significantly associated with the response rate. We conclude with implications for future survey research in management accounting.

Identification And Quantification

A methodology has been developed and demonstrated which is capable of determining total amounts of asbestos fibers and fibrils in air ranging from as low as fractional nanograms per cubic meter (ng/m3) of air to several micrograms/m3. The method involves the collection of samples on an absolute filter and provides an unequivocal identification and quantification of the total asbestos contents including fibrils in the collected samples.The developed method depends on the trituration under controlled conditions to reduce the fibers to fibrils, separation of the asbestos fibrils from other collected air particulates (beneficiation), and the use of transmission microscopy for identification and quantification. Its validity has been tested by comparative analyses by neutron activation techniques. It can supply the data needed to set emissions criteria and to serve as a basis for assessing the potential hazard for asbestos pollution to the populace.

Abstract. A meta-analysis was performed to determine whether response rates to online psychology surveys have decreased over time and the effect of specific design characteristics (contact mode, burden of participation, and incentives) on response rates. The meta-analysis is restricted to samples of adults with depression or general anxiety disorder. Time and study design effects are tested using mixed-effects meta-regressions as implemented in the metafor package in R. The mean response rate of the 20 studies fulfilling our meta-analytic inclusion criteria is approximately 43%. Response rates are lower in more recently conducted surveys and in surveys employing longer questionnaires. Furthermore, we found that personal invitations, for example, via telephone or face-to-face contacts, yielded higher response rates compared to e-mail invitations. As predicted by sensitivity reinforcement theory, no effect of incentives on survey participation in this specific group (scoring high on neuroticism) could be observed.

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is an infant born with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams regardless of gestation. Birth weight is the weight of the baby weighed in 1 hour after birth. (Depkes RI, 2009). Based on WHO and UNICEF data, in 2013 about 222 million babies were born in the world, of which 16% were born with low birth weight. The percentage of LBW in developing countries is 16.5% twice that of developed countries (7%) (Scholar Unand, 2014). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between anemia and Smoking Habit in Pregnant Women with LBW occurrence in General Hospital Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang Year 2016. This research use analytical survey method with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers who gave birth monthly in Midwifery Installation of Dr. General Hospital Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in 2016 as many as 315 respondents. The sample of this research is some of mothers who give birth enough month in Midwifery Installation of Dr. General Hospital Mohammad Hoesin Palembang Year 2016 as many as 315 respondents. ". From the results of bivariate analysis of anemic respondents with the occurrence of LBW obtained statistical test X2 count = 23.22 which means there is a significant relationship between anemia with the incidence of BBLR. Respondents smoking with the occurrence of LBWR obtained statistical test X2 count = 41.20 which means there is a relationship Meaningful between smoking and LBW incidence. From the results of this study is expected that this research can be a reference material and is a complete information and useful for the development of knowledge about LBW.
