Question universe:
if ((GRIDVARIABLES.modetype = 1 & CASISTART.scac = 1) | GRIDVARIABLES.modetype = 3) & EXPERIMENTALVARIABLES.DKCOND = 1|2|3) (Mode is face to face and has agreed to self completion or mode is web AND experimental control variable DKCOND has been applied)
and if (NUCLEN DK|REF|MIS) & KNOWNUCLEN = 4 (Didn't answer Don't Know, Refused or Missing to Attitudes toward nuclear energy and said have Nothing at all of knowledge to Self-rated knowledge about Nuclear Energy)
