The subject matter of the analysis is an interesting poem by Jean Molinet. This paper focuses on the aspect of a certain nostalgia for the ideal which aims at both the semantic and poetic aspects of the poem. The existential ideal conceived from a spiritual perspective - is transmitted through a refined metaphorical system, conveying complex ideas and equivocal meanings, and covers two eponymous aspects, one of which turns out to be denied by the second. From an eschatological perspective, the author demonstrates how insignificant the old "worldly" ideal and alleged intellectual ideal will be in the eyes of God at the moment of Judgment. The opposition within the same metaphor of the two antithetical ideals is a process accentuating a revalorization of the existential perspective of the poet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The continuously progressive education system of the 21st century requires the introduction of innovative teaching methodologies incorporating up-to-the-minute technology-oriented styles, which are capable of changing the traditional ways of conducting classes presenting teachers as the ultimate source of knowledge, with a new notion which considers teachers as facilitators and guiders in the world of information. A plethora of research has been conducted with respect to flipped learning, however, the number of research papers presenting content analysis is limited indicating the deficiency and lack of content analysis-based papers on Flipped Classroom in Education. Thus, to fill this gap in the literature, there is a demand for conducting a content analysis. In turn, the aim of this paper was to identify the importance and impact of the distributed documents on a Flipped Learning Model (FLM) in Education which was done by gathering data from the SCOPUS database with keywords ‘Flipped Classroom in Education’, within the range of ten years (2011-2020). All studies published in SCOPUS, were statistically analyzed and examined according to the year of publication, subject area, document type, country/territory, languages, source type, types of research and the research methods. It was found that the publications related to FLM in education had dramatically increased from the year 2011 to 2020. The findings of this study also highlighted the importance of FLM in education, especially in courses that require cognitive skills like social studies, medicine, and computer science.

This paper aims at analyzing how the European integration is presented to the students; how it is understood, made familiar and concretized in the educational system in Albania, particularly curricula and textbooks. It focuses on the narrative of the European integration since its inception to the present, set in a wider context of the post-war period. It includes the examination of the politics and the institutions of the European Union, on the basis of a balanced coverage of the strengths and the weaknesses of the European integration. Also, the paper concentrates on the economic, political and social aspects of the European cooperation. The method of content analysis is used to give a more vivid and multidimensional picture of the object of the research. It is complemented with the analysis of the visual materials. The content, the processes, the visual images, the transformations and the structures of the European integration are examined based on the qualitative and quantitative method. The paper demonstrates even the linkage between the European Union and the national identity. Moreover, it analyzes the processes and the challenges of Albania’s integration into the European Union, as presented in the curricula and textbooks for secondary education.

The study aims to identify the metaphors associated with the EU in the economic press published in Romanian and Russian languages in the Republic of Moldova after signing the Association Agreement (AAs). It set out to answer the following research questions: How Moldovan economic newspapers frame the EaP issues through metaphors? Are these metaphors meant to increase the EU appeal to readers of economic newspapers? For this purpose, we conducted a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of a corpus of Moldavian economic newspapers in order to identify the EU-based metaphors.

No Billag – in Switzerland, the debate about the necessity and financial viability of public broadcasting has been sparked anew. Closely linked are questions about the public value of the SRG SSR and how much of Switzerland is actually portrayed on Swiss television. Based on a secondary analysis of the 2017 data set of the continuous Swiss content analysis study, this paper discusses the representation of Switzerland and the Swiss people in terms of representation in television programmes of the SRG SSR and in terms of media production. Results show that Switzerland plays an important role in informational genres (e. g., News), while in fictional content (e. g., series, movies) references to Switzerland are scarce. Additionally, fictional content broadcast by the SRG SSR is often produced by international production firms, with preferences for content from Switzerland’s next-door-giant neighbours.

The aim of this paper was to present an analysis of media coverage of athletes during the 2012 London Olympics, to determine whether there is a difference in media coverage between male and female athletes and possibly differences in ideological gender modeling in sport. The sample of the research material consisted of articles published from July 27th to August 12th, 2012, found in the archives of the sports sections of daily newspapers (Politika, Kurir), as well as the portal of the RTS public broadcasting system, which is at the very peak of the most accessed media in Serbia. The results have shown that there was a greater number of articles on men’s sport (p=0.01), a greater number of words in articles depicting men (p=0.01) and more photographs depicting male athletes (p=0.01). The analysis of individual compared to team photographs shows that men were represented more in groups than individually, and that women were to a greater extent represented individually. The results indicate that female athletes are represented more on the field than outside of it, and that men are more often represented at higher levels of body exposure (levels three and four). The general conclusion can be drawn that female athletes in the Serbian media were quantitatively less represented, but that their representations in photographs were more gender balanced than expected based on previous research.

With a two-fold purpose (1) to find out the topics that have been paid more attention by scholars with the aim of identifying future research lines, and (2) to analyse the methodological approach employed in the papers, content analysis has been conducted focused on 269 marketing oriented papers published in the main international tourist journals in the period 2004-2006. Findings obtained by three independent judges highlight the key role of consumer behaviour research, followed by marketing strategies. Concerning the setting, almost a half of the tourism marketing works is focused on destinations, although specific types of tourism is also a relevant topic for scholars.

This paper proposes a method to highlight the geographical representation of political actors. It is based on the postulate that many official documents released by national or international organisations can be analysed in the framework of a geographical approach and eventually give way to cartographic representations. They provide precious information upon how political actors see the world and how they plan their action in it. The paper is focused on the official discourses of the European Union (EU), an institutional body able to behave as an autonomous actor in international relations. These discourses have not really attracted the attention of scholars. Yet they provide much information about the EU as an actor. How does EU see the world? How does it see its place in the world and its role in international relations? In the paper, we present the method carried out for the analysis, we describe the sample of official discourses considered and we propose a set of results that make it possible to characterize the global political space as seen by the EU.

The high incidences of COVID-19 cases in low-income communities, the context of disinformation around the disease and the vacuum of public policies have made low income communities more vulnerable to the pandemic. Considering that scenario, this paper analyzes how urban collectives have used social media to create and share narratives about COVID-19. We frame those contributions through a lens of insurgency, an area of planning studies that is based on grassroots counter-hegemonic actions. We conduct a sentiment and thematic analysis of Instagram posts of urban collectives in Fortaleza to show how social media has been appropriated as a space to cope with the virus and support insurgency. Our findings show, even though most strategies are geared towards emergency relief, collectives also harness the atmosphere of crisis brought by COVID-19 to raise awareness to other structural issues. Collectives promote insurgency by creating their own content, information and research material about COVID-19 in their communities and by partnering with institutions to scale up their claims.

While it is generally recognized that nurses and nursing issues are underrepresented in the media, the contrary is also true during major public health care crises like Ebola and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). We see this phenomenon unfolding in the midst of the current COVID-19 pandemic with nurses and nursing issues receiving extensive media coverage in Canada and internationally. To gain more insights into this media coverage, we analyzed the content of Canadian news stories published in both English and French during the first five months of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper presents the findings of our analysis and identifies important lessons learned. We believe that our findings serve as an important starting point for understanding nurses’ agency and the media savviness they displayed during the first months of the pandemic.

In this paper we examine the overall evolution of the coverage of women’s sports by the three Portuguese daily sports newspapers (A Bola, O Jogo and Record), as well as the potential sexual objectification of female athletes. To this end, we conducted an analysis of the news and photographs published by these three daily newspapers over a period of 20 years (1996-2016), based on a random sample. A total of 2,414 news items, including 1,207 articles and 1,207 photographs, were collected from 186 different newspaper editions. The results do not show significant changes in the coverage of women’s sports nor a significant decrease in the sexualization of athletes, as signs of sexual objectification remain. The research suggests that policy makers should take active measures to promote equality between women and men in sports journalism.

This study analyzes the extent, range and nature of science communication scholarship in Lithuania. The purpose of this study is to explore whether there is a presence of this research field in the Lithuanian academic context and if there exists a body of empirical evidence that can be used to inform practical science communication initiatives. More generally, this study asks: is there a science of science communication in Lithuania? Results indicate the presence of an emerging field of research with fragmented scientific activity. Most papers do not explicitly identify “science communication” as the object of study. Most of the relevant work is focused on audience research, indicating the potential for using the results for evidence-based science communication practice. The science of science communication in Lithuanian, however, has yet considerable room for growth and could benefit from more large-scale, nationally representative, data-driven and methodologically sound research.

From speeches held by professionals and instrumented by their retranscription, this article questions the construction of an intertextual dynamics which makes sense. With these kind of texts, the researcher can summon an interlocutive dimension to reach in an inductive way a common matrix of meaning to say which would be the dialogical expression of a knowledge developed on the object of research. This paper proposes a methodology that can be used for qualitative researches in human an social sciences.

To understand the ways in which Canadian women’s health knowledge is influenced by media texts, this paper explores the presentation of women’s health in Canada’s longest running women’s magazine, Chatelaine. Reflections on the positioning of women’s bodies in Canadian society are explored to understand the evolution of the discussion of women’s bodies throughout the 20th century. Perspectives on power, the body, and sexuality are traced to understand more recent discussions on women’s health in the Canadian public sphere. Feminist theorizing on the evolution and emergence of the modern female body in Western society is relied upon to obtain contemporary perspectives on women’s bodies and health. To study the ways in which such themes are presented in Chatelaine, a content analysis guided by frame theory is used to examine the ways in which Chatelaine frames information pertaining to women’s health from 1928 to 2010. Findings demonstrate Chatelaine’s growth in women’s health content, as evidenced in the increase in the volume of health content in the magazine and the sophistication and diversification of discussions on women’s bodies and wellness. It is suggested that Chatelaine’s dedication to the coverage of women’s health aids in the empowerment of women, as knowledge about their bodies and wellness is an essential tool necessary for bodily empowerment and female autonomy.

Based on a qualitative content analysis of a small corpus of newspaper articles, the paper aims to identify the representations of Romanian migrants in the Romanian media from Italy by exploring the portrayals of the main characters and the narratives used to support these portrayals. Arguing that there are important differences between the narrative styles employed for depicting different types of characters, I seek to discuss the implications these differences may have on the conveyed message.

The Discourse of #ProtestosBR: content analysis of Twitter – This paper focus on an analysis of the discourse of Twitter messages during the protests in Brazil during June 2013. Our objective is to discuss how the concepts relate to each other and form networks of meanings around the tweets about the protests. Our search for common characteristics and elements reveals how Twitter was used to describe the protests and to mobilize people rather than to discuss what was actually taking place. We describe the key actors, contexts and demands, as well as the focus on live narratives, #pamphleteer hashtags, and the specific location of tweets.

Many libraries have adopted Twitter to connect with their clients, but the library literature has only begun to explore how health libraries use Twitter in practice. When presented with new responsibility for tweeting on behalf of her library, the author was faced with the question “what do other health libraries tweet about?”. This paper presents a content analysis of a sample of tweets from ten health and medical libraries in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Five hundred twenty-four tweets were collected over 4 one-week periods in 2014 and analyzed using a grounded theory approach to identify themes and categories. The health libraries included in this study appear to use Twitter primarily as a current awareness tool, focusing on topics external to the library and its broader organization and including little original content. This differs from previous studies which have found that libraries tend to use Twitter primarily for library promotion. While this snapshot of Twitter activity helps shed light on how health libraries use Twitter, further research is needed to understand the underlying factors that shape libraries’ Twitter use. Beaucoup de bibliothèques ont choisi d’utiliser Twitter pour communiquer avec leurs clients, mais la littérature a commencé à peine à explorer comment des bibliothèques de la santé utilisent Twitter dans la pratique. Lorsqu’on lui a présenté la nouvelle responsabilité de s’occuper du compte Twitter pour la bibliothèque, l’auteure s’est demandé « qu'est-ce que d’autres bibliothèques de la santé disent sur Twitter ? ». Cet article présente une analyse du contenu d’un échantillon de Tweets de dix bibliothèques médicales au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni. 524 Tweets ont été recueillis au cours de quatre périodes d’une semaine en 2014 et ont été analysés selon une théorie ancrée afin d’identifier des thèmes et des catégories. Les bibliothèques de la santé incluses dans l’étude paraissent utiliser Twitter principalement comme outil de sensibilisation, se concentrant sur des sujets en dehors de la bibliothèque et l’organisation en général, et comprenant peu de contenu original. Cela se différencie d’autres études qui ont trouvé que les bibliothèques sont enclines à utiliser Twitter principalement pour la promotion de la bibliothèque. Bien que cet aperçu d’activité sur Twitter aide à éclairer la façon dont des bibliothèques l’utilisent, une recherche plus approfondie est nécessaire afin de comprendre les facteurs sous-jacents qui touchent l’usage de Twitter par des bibliothèques.

This paper seeks to discuss the image that the media build around the phenomenon of migration in present-day Romanian society. I rely on a content analysis of newspaper articles on migration in order to explore layers of knowledge (understood as evidence which forms the basis of the representation about an issue) by identifying specific elements in each and every piece of news, such as: the current state of migration, the demographic profile of the migrant, geographical location, the orientation of the newspaper, the situation of migrants, the causes and effects of this phenomenon, and the policies implemented in the communities of origin and destination, respectively. All these elements are examined along the lines of emigration and immigration in order to reconstruct strategies of framing external migration within the journalistic discourse, and to identify the information which constitutes a reference point in shaping the attribute agenda on this topic. The discussion relies on the analysis of 473 articles in Romanian newspapers, published between 2007 and 2009, using as a sampling frame the archive of articles available on the website www.ziare.com.

The present text aims to be an advance of the general lines of research are being followed for the preparation of the PhD thesis doctoral: The Cultural Legacy of the Roman Villas Tardoantiguas in Castilla and León. The Late Antique Roman villages preserved in Castilla and Leon are depositaries of a rich archaeological and historical patrimony as home to valuable information about Romansociety that lived there. This paper aims to provide a systematic and quantitative analysis of the cultural heritage related to these villages, through a method, the analysis of content, not used so far in the area of Archaeology. As a starting point intended to review the different perspectives of analysis of the archaeological surveys conducted on the Hispanic villages, since its variation has been remarkable in recent decades. Then, applying the analysis ofcontent, there will be elaborated a system of indicators, as complete as possible, which aim is to obtain a classification or to provide some key factors for a possible typological definition of the villages that serve to examine how the definition about its spatial and functional organization, its iconographic program, and the presence of luxury materials allow to define the relationship with the social environment of the Late Roman time.

This paper aims to investigate whether there are similarities or not in mission statement items which are used by SMEs for explaining reason of existence. For this purpose, content analysis was carried out for mission statements of the SMEs by using nine items (costumers, product, market, technology, survival, philosophy, self-concept, public image, and employees). As a result of the analysis, it was found that SMEs explaining reason of existence by using philosophy, self concept and technology items in mission statements and there are similarities in items used by SMEs in mission statements. Finally, suggestions for future research were made.

A partir de um histórico da Análise de Conteúdo e de uma reflexão acerca de suas implicações no contexto do behaviorismo americano do início do século XX, procuraremos neste artigo abordar o conceito de condições de produção enquanto meio de apreensão da relação entre texto e contexto. Os resultados obtidos indicam que, no que concerne à noção de condições de produção, não houve nem uma total ruptura, nem uma simples continuidade entre os trabalhos produzidos segundo a tradição da Análise de Conteúdo e da Sociolingüística, por um lado, e, por outro, a Análise do Discurso concebida por Pêcheux.Based on a historical review of Content Analysis and a debate about its implications in the context of American behaviourism of the beginning of the XX century, the aim of this paper is to focus on the concept of conditions of production as a means of approaching the relationship between text and context. The results show some evidence that, in what concerns the notion of conditions of production, there has been neither total disruption nor simple continuity between tradition (works in Content Analysis and Sociolinguistics) and Discourse Analysis as conceived by Pêcheux.

Of late, there has been growing demand for companies to intensify its corporate social responsibility (CSR). It is no longer one of the responsibilities of the companies but has become the responsibility of companies to give back to the society in which it has been operating and making huge profit. Unfortunately there appears to be a wide gap between the level of CSR awareness between companies from developed countries and those from the developing companies. Companies from developed countries have higher CSR level of awareness and faced no difficulty in disclosing their CSR activities relatively to the companies in the developing countries (including Malaysia). Thus, the aim of this paper is to examine the level of CSR disclosure of consumer products and trading and services industries from Malaysia. In addition, the study also would like to ascertain if the level of CSR disclosure influences the performance of the company in terms of its return on asset (ROA) and firm value (Tobin’s Q). The study starts with the development of CSR disclosure index and using the index to determine if company’s performance is related to its contribution to the society. Panel data is used to achieve the second objective. Findings of the study provide positive, negative and insignificant results between CSR activities on the company performance.
