Yönetim ve kültür bağlantısından hareket eden bu çalışma, Türk toplumunun yönetici kavramına bakış açısını dil üzerinden çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yönetim, öz itibarıyla iletişimsel bir süreçtir. Yönetim sürecinin temel öznesi olan yönetici ise, iletişimi kullanarak yönetsel işlevleri uygulayan kişidir. Bu anlamıyla yönetici, insanların iş yapmalarını ve amaca ulaşmalarını iletişim aracılığıyla sağlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında yönetici kavramı, Türkçede bulunan atasözleri ve deyimler üzerinden incelenmektedir. Atasözleri ve deyimler, bir toplumun geçmişten günümüze uzanan kültürel sürekliliğini, değerlerini ve yönelimlerini ortaya koyan dilsel öğelerdir. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımı doğrultusunda tasarlanan araştırma kapsamında, Türk Dil Kurumu -TDK- Atasözleri ve Deyimler Sözlüğü taranarak yönetici kavramıyla ilgili atasözleri ile deyimler tespit edilmiş ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, araştırmacılar tarafından alanyazından hareketle oluşturulan kategoriler uyarınca değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın geçerlik ve güvenirliliğini sağlamak amacıyla birden fazla araştırmacının sürece dahil edilmesi ve uzman görüşü alınması gibi yöntemlere başvurulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında elde edilen bulgular tartışılmış ve gelecek araştırmalara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur. Çalışmada ulaşılan en temel sonuç, yönetici kavramının Türkçede bulunan atasözü ve deyimlerde oldukça önemli bir yer arz etmesidir. Bu bağlamda araştırma bulgularının alanyazın ile koşutluk içinde olduğunu, Türk dilinde yöneticinin işlevine ve iletişimsel rolüne dikkat çeken birçok atasözü ile deyimin bulunduğunu ifade etmek mümkündür.

İletişim teknolojilerindeki değişim ve gelişime paralel olarak diplomatik faaliyetler de dijital ortama aktarılmıştır. Dijital iletişimin diplomasiye olan katkısı özellikle kamu diplomasisi alanında hedef kitleye daha kısa zamanda ve daha etkili bir şekilde ulaşmayı sağlamasıdır. Bu çalışma, Ankara’da bulunan Türk Cumhuriyetleri Büyükelçilikleri sosyal medya paylaşımlarını kamu diplomasisi açısından analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma yalnızca 1 Mart-30 Nisan 2023 tarihleri arasındaki Facebook paylaşımlarını içermektedir. Çalışma nitel ve dokuman analizine dayalı bir çalışma olup verilerin analizinde içerik analizi tekniği uygulanmıştır. Paylaşımlarda beğeni ve yeniden paylaşımlar olsa dahi takipçilerle ikili iletişime geçilmediği görülmüştür. Elçilikler paylaşımlarında çoğunlukla kültürel diplomasi üzerinde dururken, onu sırasıyla turizm, ülke fikrini savunma, uluslararası iş birliği, ekonomik diplomasi ve bilim diplomasisi konuları takip etmektedir. Eğitim, spor ve STK’larla iletişim konularındaki paylaşımlarsa çok düşük seviyede görülmüştür. Büyükelçiliklerin sosyal medya paylaşımlarının bu amaçla istihdam edilmiş çalışanlar tarafından yapılması, kamu diplomasisi faaliyetlerinin bütünleşik bir bakış açısıyla gerçekleştirilmesi, takipçi sayılarının artırılması amacıyla daha kaliteli ve daha fazla paylaşımda bulunulması ve ülke markasına dönük paylaşımlara ağırlık verilmesinde fayda görülmektedir.

Patients’ evaluations of healthcare often rely on patient satisfaction and encounter-specific approaches. Instead, valuable information can be gained by focusing on patient dissatisfaction with healthcare over time. This study examined patients’ sources of care dissatisfaction when seeking healthcare for a long-term chronic and complex disease (CCD). Participants with a CCD called polycystic kidney disease (N=387) completed an online questionnaire with an open-ended question about dissatisfying experiences. Content analysis was used to analyze responses. The coded data resulted in conceptual codes related to dissatisfaction with information, support, and care management. Analysis revealed the type of healthcare provider is often mentioned, and that more than one type of dissatisfaction can occur at the same time. Patients with CCDs are experiencing a variety of types of dissatisfaction when seeking healthcare, which may point to ongoing communication gaps between patients and the healthcare providers they see over time for their disease. Providers who see patients with CCDs should remember these patients may see multiple providers over time and have unique support needs. Providers can potentially improve care experiences by helping patients manage their care across both providers and experiences, as well as encourage patients to ask questions and express their concerns.

In this paper, we investigate the importance of Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) as part of the modern marketing strategy. There is no doubt that CLV is one of the most important metrics to be considered in Customer Relationship Management and Relationship Marketing. It represents an instrument meant to enhance the client's loyalty and to bring some clearance for the marketing strategies regarding the customer segmentation. At the same time, it is one of the most difficult to calculate. As part of this study, we explore how the concept is approached in the academic literature, the notoriety of the concept, the areas, and the topics with which it is associated. In this investigation, we are using WordStat and QDA Miner software applications for content analysis and text mining aiming to extract themes and trends regarding the approached topic from a significant number of academic articles.

Purpose: Construction places are a part of people’s identity. The identity of the place affects the man-place relation. Influenced by modern urbanism system, today’s cities have lost their former identity function and consequently have an environment with no defined identity all caused by place. Accordingly, this study mainly intends to reach an optimal model of place identity in new cities. Methodology: It was a basic, descriptive-exploratory research and applied theme analysis method. Data were collected through investigation into theoretical literature, experts’ ideas and deep interviews with ten urban affairs managers. To identify the related themes, MAXQDA software was used. Findings: All in all, 46 preliminary codes and four main themes were identified and the relations among these themes are presented in the framework of a model. Based on the model, recommendations as to the solution of place identity problems of Parand New City are presented.

Purpose. The paper aims at finding out how significantly stakeholders are consulted and involved by preparers, Ukrainian publicly-listed agricultural companies, while compiling sustainability reporting (SR) and by assurance providers, during assurance processes of SR. The paper’s main research question may be formulated as follows ‘How deeply stakeholders are involved at Ukrainian agricultural companies in the preparation of their sustainability reporting and assurance?’ Methodology / approach. The study utilizes widely used techniques in this field content analysis of sustainability reports based on suggested coding rules which in turn grounded in the leading literature. Authors use a multidimensional coding system (with a maximum score of 12 points) which consists of three elements and offers an aggregate assessment of the information disclosure of the involvement of stakeholders in sustainability reporting. Also authors base on frameworks for classification of the stakeholders’ engagement level into three levels (information, response and involvement strategies). The paper’s sample although tiny, only five years/company observations, is comprehensive since it includes all Ukrainian agricultural companies presented in GRI SDD database one of the largest databases of its kind. To analyze only the latest relevant experience, authors have limited the report type to the latest GRI modification – GRI Standards. As a result of five steps in the sample formation process, it is equal to 3 companies that produced 5 reports in the period between 2017 and 2019 years. Results. While the used coding structure allowed for a maximum of 12 points, the analysed reports were able to reach only half of this as one report earned 7, one – 6 and the rest was marked with 5 points. From the three companies from our sample frontrunner is Astarta Holding. Astarta Holding excels in materiality relevance (4 points) and is the only company assured its sustainability report. Authors find that the engagement strategy of the companies being analyzed mostly consists of action intended to inform (level 1) as well as consult and support stakeholders (level 2), whilst deep involvement strategy (level 3) is being almost neglected. In regards to focus, we find that the most cited stakeholders in engagement actions are on level 1 employees, consumers and suppliers. Consumers also alongside authorities and local communities are the most cited stakeholders on the level of response strategy, whereas the authorities are the single stakeholders' group being honoured to be treated on the highest third level. The authors’ general impression is that for the most part legitimacy theory is the best theory to explain the behaviour of compilers of reports from the sample because mostly management uses rhetorical tools to cover its activities, while the reporting itself lacks specifics about negative externalities. For authors, it looks like an exercise in self-legitimization. It appears that the companies studied has not yet fully performed the transfer from ‘stakeholder management’ to ‘stakeholder engagement’. It is the authors’ understanding that all this has roots in the very perverted perception of sustainability reporting as a continuation of financial reporting although it is not. In financial reporting, materiality is defined internally as a percentage of some indicators in the balance sheet and/or statement of financial performance, in sustainable reporting, materiality is not only important in the assurance, but it is a cornerstone in the preparation of SR itself. Originality / scientific novelty. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first that extends the analysis the stakeholders’ engagement in the sustainability reporting to the Ukrainian agricultural companies, thus shedding some light on that unexplored (underexplored) practice. Practical value / implications. First, sustainability reporting practices in Ukraine is in its infancy, and therefore any shortcomings identified will be a guide to action to adjust these approaches in the future. Secondly, our analysis can also be seen as the dissemination of best practices. The companies we have chosen are pioneers in this matter, so they can at the same time be considered as role models for others, but taking into account the experience gained by them. Besides, in addition to companies, our findings can be useful for regulators and public authorities alike in terms of adjusting the approach to regulating this area.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the quantitative and critical content of research conducted by Iranian researchers in digital libraries in terms of research method, research community, topics, authors and their organizational affiliation and results of previous research. The research method is quantitative content analysis and for this purpose the authorschr('39') information, title, abstract, articles keywords and theses related to this field were analyzed. The statistical population of the study consists of 209 Iranian research outputs (138 articles and 71 theses) in the field of digital libraries that were selected based on their internal validity criteria. In terms of place of publication and research, in research articles, Scientific Journal of Information Processing and Management (13); in Extension Articles, Journal of Monthly Books (12); And in the theses, Islamic Azad University of Tehran - North Branch (12) gained the most frequency. In terms of topics used, the results showed that topics such as "evaluation of digital libraries","concepts of digital, virtual and electronic libraries", "feasibility of creating digital libraries" and "digital libraries user interface" gained the most attention. The results of content analysis indicate that the topic of digital libraries in previous research has been growing in recent years and new topics such as semantic web, mapping, semantic integration and organization in this area have attracted the attention of researchers. Has attracted. Also, research studies have shown that the bulk of research has been aimed at introducing and promoting the conceptual and conceptual content of the digital library, namely the knowledge available in English; second, the subject of much repetitive research; Conceptual or technology creation to develop the digital library field was not found. In addition, the results of some previous methodological research shows that the most prominent examples are research methods that are quite feasible. Overall, the study of the topics studied and their timing in the field of theory and practice of digital libraries in Iran led to the identification of research gaps in this field. Researchers are therefore encouraged to look at other aspects of digital libraries that have not been studied or devoted to less research.

This article investigates public opinion about smart robots, with special focus on the ethical dimension. In so doing, the study reviews relevant literature and analyzes data from the comments sections of four publically available online news articles on smart robots. Findings from the content analysis of investigated comments suggest that public opinion about smart robots remains fairly negative, and that public discussion is focused on potentially negative social and economic impacts of smart robots on society, as well as various liability issues. In particular, many comments were what can only be called “apocalyptical”, suggesting that the rise of smart robots is a threat to the very existence of human beings, and that the replacement of human labour by smart robots will lead to deepening the socio-economic gap, and concentrating power and wealth in the hands of even fewer people. Further, public discussion seems to pay little attention to the debate on whether robots should have “rights”, or on the increasing environmental effects of the growth in robotics. This study contributes to the extant literature on “roboethics”, by suggesting a dendrogram approach to illustrate themes based on a qualitative content analysis. It suggests that smart robot manufacturers should ensure better transparency and inclusion in their robotics design processes to foster public adoption of robots.

The main purpose of this study was to analyze how did Indonesia face problems of good governance, especially in aspect of accountability, while conducting the health diplomacy and communication in handling Covid-19 issues. A qualitative research method employing constructivism approach were used in this research. The data analysis technique, content analysis, was used to find out Indonesian government statements, policies and actions to handle coronavirus crisis. The article found that Indonesia government faced serious problems of health diplomacy and political communication with international communities; inter-governmental institution and citizens. The findings further revealed that Indonesia developed the “un- smart”, “un-systematic”, “un-objective”, and “un-visionary” ways in practicing diplomacy and communication in the global health crisis. This shows that how important the good governance of health diplomacy and communication, including preparedness in health disaster mitigation in a country, is to handle such effects of global health crisis

Communication and sharing information with ill children are challenging. To protect a child from the bitter reality, sometimes use of well-intended untruths, or white lies is necessary. This research aimed at studying the experiences of nurses about the use of white lies in in pediatric clinical setting. In this qualitative, content-analysis study, 24 on-duty pediatric nurses were interviewed in 2019. Data were collected through purposeful sampling using semi-structured interviews, and the collected data were analyzed according to Granheim and Landman’s method using MAXQDA-10 software. Eighteen female and six male nurses with the mean age of 42 ± 3/7 years and mean work experience of 16 ± 4/1 years were selected to participate in this study. Data analysis showed that use of white lies depends on both situation and several other factors classified into five general categories: nature of data, childhood characteristics, family norms, treatment team’s capabilities and organization policies.Treatment team members need to improve their communication skills to convey therapeutic information to the ill child’s family appropriately. To do so, special guidelines should be prepared for healthcare staff in pediatric clinical setting.

Effective knowledge management (KM) is essential to almost any organization. Regardless of its size or subject matter, an organization should use the knowledge it possesses in the most effective way possible. But the implementation of KM is still challenging. One of the solutions for this challenge which mentioned in KM literature is knowledge management roadmapping. Roadmaps provide a graphical means for exploring and communicating the relationships among any types of knowledge in the organization. Therefore, in this research, a framework for roadmapping organizational knowledge management has developed. In the first phase, beneficiary systematic literature review, qualitative content analysis and interview with expertise, the basic components of organizational knowledge management (OKM) roadmapping have determined and specified. These components have divided into seven main categories: “causal conditions”, “OKM Roadmap components”, “roadmapping requirements”, “requirements for successful OKM implementation”, “OKM Roadmap preparation and the development process”, “visual and content characteristics of an OKM roadmap” and “OKM Roadmap outcomes”. After that, by calculating the correlation (Pearson correlation coefficients) between these components “OKM roadmap framework” was proposed. The final framework provides a flow between components which describe the way of drawing a roadmap for OKM implementation. The reliability of research has been evaluated by Kappa coefficient (0.743).

Processes occurring on the theoretical and methodological levels of pedagogy in the modern period are considered. The emphasis is laid on the examination of the pedagogical projection of the globalization phenomenon, revelation of the dynamics and trends of pedagogical knowledge development as a theoretic construct aimed at the conceptualization of the world educational processes. The author’s view on the highly discursive issue of finding the research approach adequate to the contemporary conditions is represented.

In making decisions through online platforms specifically in choosing accommodation for traveling, travelers often consider the judgment of others as a signal to make decisions. In this case, progressively online reviews have an essential role in online platforms to influence decision making for travelers. The link between online reviews and travelers’ decision making is examined through qualitative online content analysis to integrate themes derived from online reviews. The content analysis applied to a deeper understanding of online reviews that extract Airbnb data to analyze guest reviews in Superhost Bandung. The results of this study reveal the value of co-reation practices that can be utilized for decision making, according to the characteristics of the identified themes, such as expressing feelings, evaluating location and accommodation, recommending, and thanking.

Catastrophes often impose negative impacts on children. The purpose of establishing post-disaster "child-friendly spaces" is to provide an opportunity for children to shape or change their surroundings in addition to create suitable physical and psychological conditions that facilitate a faster rehabilitation of children after disasters. On December 26, 2003, an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 on the Richter scale hit the city of Bam in Kerman Province. As a result, many children suffered from, and faced, many issues such as legal, psychological, anatomic, economic, social problems. They needed constant and urgent psychological and social support including access to safe places for leisure and recreation to overcome their psychological pressures. After the earthquake of 2003 governmental and international organizations and NGOs got involved in planning and implementing several projects for creating such spaces for children. These spaces are known as child friendly spaces in Bam and have been at the center of attention of the authorities during the first days after the earthquake. Nevertheless, due to a lack of documented experiences of such projects inside the country, these activities were carried out through trial and error. It seems that, 10 years after the earthquake, an evaluation of the impacts of child-friendly spaces is particularly important. This paper presents a qualitative assessment of these projects, relying on the content analysis of the collected data. In this study, interviews and focus group meetings were conducted, with those who aged between 3-13 at the time of the earthquake, who became juvenile and adolescent in the time of data collection, along with their parents and educators working in child friendly spaces; and thus comments of children in relation to child friendly spaces were collected and analyzed. All interviewees and informants used child-friendly spaces. Furthermore, the researchers have conducted field observation, interview and participatory observation with the aim of collecting and analyzing documents and reports relevant to the event. In this study documents and reports of governmental organizations such as national welfare organization, international organizations like UNICEF and also non-governmental organizations like the society for protecting working children were analyzed, and the required information has been extracted. The results show that despite the shortfalls of these projects, the effect of child-friendly spaces on children's communication skills has been very significant. Children have emphasized the importance of such spaces for building relationships with their peers and how these spaces provided them with an opportunity to interact in the society, heightened their awareness of risks and enhanced their social skills and capabilities. Results also indicate that although most children expressed satisfaction with these spaces, there are still challenges in terms of planning and design of such spaces. For example, children’s suggestions for an optimal planning and design of such spaces included considering local climate and vernacular architectural know-how in designing such spaces, providing suitable furniture, interior design and equipment for children, separating toilets for girls and boys, the use of resistant and waterproof tents with colorful drawings. Furthermore, increasing green spaces and interior spaces as well as providing a safe access to such facilities were requested by children for designing child friendly spaces in Bam.

The global trend of second-hand clothing (SHC) consumption is significantly increasing and unstoppable. This trend has made, and will continue to make, a huge impact in the clothing industry in virtually every part of the world. However, the number of studies on SHC are still limited and more importantly, the findings are mixed and inconclusive. This study investigates the trend in SHC research between 1990 and 2014. 131 published academic articles from different disciplines were collected and content analyzed and the results indicate that SHC research was highly focused on the topics of consumption behavior, textile disposal behavior, and SHC trading related issues. In addition, the results also show that SHC research was mainly conducted from the consumers’ point of view. With the increasing interest in SHC, this study attempts to develop a better understanding of SHC phenomena and provide clear future research directions to scholars in designing SHC related research.

During the communist regime, the process of translating, publishing and interpreting Dostoevsky’s works has been heterogeneously: decades of being almost forbidden have alternated with moments when his novels have been widely published and promoted. However, particularly in the first two-three decades after the instauration of the communist regime, but later as well, we can notice a predominant paradigm of referring to and interpreting Dostoevsky’s writings by the literary exegetes. Using the content analysis and the comparative analysis, the paper identifies the main constitutive elements of the critical Marxist approach of Dostoevsky’s works in Romania. The interest is also to understand how communist censorship acted in different periods of time.

Purpose: Audio books have a special stand in the publishing industry. Publishers around the world produce audio books with different criterions and standards. This study aimed to identify and introduce the most important criterions for evaluation and production of audio books from the producers' point of view. Methodology: this study was performed with qualitative content analysis of interviews that transitionally done with seven producers of audio books in Tehran. A purposeful sample of the producers was selected and have been conducted a deep and semi-structured interview with them. Initial codes were extracted after data analysis and were monitored, evaluated, and recognized in a multi-stage process. Finally, we obtained four major categories and 21 subcategories of criterions. Findings: The results of this study pointed that most important production and evaluation criterions of audio books from the producers' point of view were placed in four major categories of “content”, “presentation”, “technical”, and “other criterions”. in total, 21 sub-categories have been extracted: Audience, using motivation, selection criteria, subject, copyright, edition, hardware, software, human resources, audio quality and features, publication format, distribution, narration, music, fractionation and naming, , searchable, bibliographic information, advantages, disadvantages, common causes, and production problems. Originality/Value: This study identified production and evaluation criteria of audio books from the producers' point of view for the first time in Iran. Participants proposed examples of criteria that can increase the quality of audio books.

Introduction: Peer education can be a useful approach in learning difficult and important courses such as physiology. Since students encounter new teacher roles and learning from classmates in this approach, they might go through new experiences which contribute to developing effective peer education. However, few studies have examined these experiences, especially in Iranian culture therefore this study aimed to explain the experiences of nursing students participating in peer education programs for physiology course. Methods: This was a qualitative content analysis study. The sample included 16 second semester undergraduate nursing students studying at Mashhad School of Nursing and Midwifery in 2013 who had earlier experienced peer education in Physiology. Participants were selected through purposive sampling then interviewed. All interviews were transcribed and analyzed. Results: Two major themes including ease of learning and educational participation were emerged from data analysis. Ease of learning consisted of four minor themes including ease of understanding, modification of methods, course norm selection, and internalization of learning. Educational participation included two minor themes namely critical consciousness and new educational horizon. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the need for greater attention by educational institutions and universities to student-centered teaching methods such as peer education since these methods could be a supplement to faculty members` teaching by providing a positive experience and continuous in-depth learning.

Durant la dernière décennie, peu d’études se sont penchées sur l’utilisation que font les journalistes politiques d’Internet et des réseaux socionumériques, particulièrement à l’extérieur des États-Unis et du contexte spécifique des campagnes électorales. Traditionnellement, un pan de la littérature en communication conçoit l’actualité politique comme une construction, négociée principalement entre les journalistes et les autorités politiques. Or, les sources d’information des journalistes tendent à se diversifier ; Internet fournit désormais aux acteurs politiques, médiatiques et citoyens l’occasion d’interagir et de négocier la construction de l’actualité publiquement, en temps réel. En ce sens, cet article explore comment les journalistes politiques québécois utilisent Internet, et plus spécifiquement Twitter, dans leurs pratiques et leurs discours professionnels, à partir d’une analyse de contenu quantitative et qualitative des messages diffusés par la presse parlementaire durant une période de deux semaines. D’une part, nos analyses montrent la persistance de pratiques caractéristiques des médias de masse et l’émergence de nouvelles façons de faire. Généralement, les journalistes parlementaires dialoguent peu et sont enclins à conserver leur rôle de gardien de l’information (gatekeeper) sur Twitter, diffusant principalement leur propre travail ou celui d’autres journalistes. De plus, les sources politiques officielles continuent à occuper une place prépondérante dans leur couverture. Cependant, le rapport des journalistes parlementaires au temps se transforme. Une partie très importante de leur production consiste à communiquer instantanément de l’information fragmentaire sur un événement politique, laissant peu d’espace et de temps à la vérification de l’information. D’autre part, nos données révèlent une diversité dans les usages de Twitter chez les journalistes parlementaires étudiés. Des journalistes se distinguent de leurs collègues en dialoguant avec une diversité d’usagers et en faisant preuve de transparence vis-à-vis de leurs publics. Cette diversité suggère que le journalisme politique québécois se situe dans une phase de transition par rapport aux nouvelles possibilités qu’offrent les réseaux socionumériques. Over the last decade, few studies have examined how of the Internet and social media are used by political journalists, particularly in non-US contexts and outside of election campaigns. Traditionally, past research has depicted political news as a construct negotiated primarily between journalists and political officials. However, journalistic sources have been diversifying: the Internet now provides political actors, media and citizens with the opportunity to interact and negotiate publicly and in real time the construction of political news. Using both quantitative and qualitative content analyses of tweets broadcasted by the parliamentary press over a period of two weeks, this article investigates how Quebec political journalists use social media, specifically Twitter, in their daily routines and their professional discourse. First, our analysis reveals both the prevalence of routines characteristic of mass media as well as the emergence of new journalistic practices. The data show that parliamentary reporters engage in limited interaction with their publics and are likely to upkeep their role as information gatekeepers on Twitter, using microblogging mainly to broadcast their own production or that of other journalists. Moreover, their coverage still refers prominently to official political sources. However, the data also indicate that parliamentary journalists’ relation to time is changing. A very important part of their daily routine is now dedicated to instantaneous communication of fragmentary information of political events on Twitter, leaving little space and time to verify the information. Second, the data reveal a diversity of Twitter uses among the studied parliamentary reporters. Some do set themselves apart from their colleagues by maintaining an ongoing dialogue with a variety of Twitter users or by demonstrating transparency in their reporting on the platform. This diversity suggests that political journalism in Quebec is in a transitional hybrid phase with respect to the opportunities offered by reporting news on social media. Na última década, poucos estudos se debruçaram sobre a utilização que osjornalistas políticos fazem da internet e das redes sociodigitais, sobretudo fora dos Estados Unidos e do contexto específico das campanhas eleitorais. Tradicionalmente, uma parcela da literatura em comunicação concebe o noticiário político como uma construção, negociada principalmente entre os jornalistas e as autoridades políticas. Ora, as fontes jornalísticas tendem a se diversificar na medida em que a internet proporciona aos atores políticos, midiáticos e cidadãos a oportunidade de interagir e de negociar, em tempo real, a construção do noticiário político. Nesse sentido, este artigo explica como os jornalistas políticos da província canadense do Quebec utilizam a internet, e de forma mais específica o Twitter, em suas práticas e discursos profissionais. Pata isso, foi feita uma análise quantitativa e qualitativa do conteúdo das mensagens difundidas pela imprensa parlamentar num período de duas semanas. Por um lado, nossas análises mostram a persistência de práticas características da mídia de massa e a emergência de novos formas de fazer. Geralmente, os jornalistas parlamentares dialogam pouco e são propensos a conservar o seu papel de gatekeeper no Twitter, difundido principalmente o seu próprio trabalho ou o de outros jornalistas. Além disso, as fontes políticas oficiais continuam a ocupar um lugar preponderante na cobertura. Contudo, a relação entre os jornalistas parlamentares e o tempo se transforma. Uma parte importante da produção deles consiste em comunicar instantaneamente uma informação fragmentada sobre um evento político, deixando pouco tempo e espaço para a verificação da informação. Por outro lado, nossos dados revelam uma diversificação dos usos do Twitter pelos jornalistas parlamentares analisados. Eles se distinguem de seus colegas pelo fato de dialogarem com uma maior diversidade de usuários, demonstrando mais transparência na relação com os públicos. Essa diversidade sugere que o jornalismo político no Quebec está numa fase de transição no que se refere às novas possibilidades oferecidas pelas redes sociodigitais.

A study of high quality infographic reports in online media from the 24th Malofiej awards, the top international reference in infographics. Informative uses, functions, internal structures, interactive levels, and multimedia elements are examined. This research uses an original coding card for content analysis, applied with variables that have not been used in similar studies. The results show stylistic and focus similarities with classic reports, along with excellent communicative clarity. Predominate the reports as autonomous, structurally and functionally simple pieces. The use of animations and other iconic and textual elements are infrequent. Communicative effectiveness and efficiency are achieved because of ease of use, simple articulation, and absence of "noise"-all of which are essential in an online product. Further guidelines for development in the infographic report should be expected in comparison to other emerging types of online journalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The objective of this research is to identify the occurrence rate , publication style and type of topics related to library and information science that were found in widely read newspapers in 1390 (2011). Methodology: In this research, the content analysis was used in order to investigate library and information science topics in widely read Iranian newspapers. The The statistical subject matter used consisted of all widely read newspapers in Iran in 1390 (2011). The samples were selected in two stages: At first, ten popular widely read newspapers were selected through a survey of 100 persons. Then, for each newspaper title, two statistical weeks were determined, one for the first six months of the year and other for the second six month of the year. Findings: The findings that resulted from the content analysis of 120 issues of widely read Iranian newspapers published in 1390 (2011) indicated that topics related to library and information science had been mostly covered by the “Jam’e Jam” and “Ettela’at” newspapers. Furthermore, the findings showed that most of the content related to the field of library and information science had been presented in a matter-of-fact, journalistic style. A major part of the related content displayed a reactive and event-oriented nature. In addition, according to the findings of this study, the distribution of concepts and issues related to the fields of "librarianship" and "information science" in the newspapers has not been properly managed, with a high percentage of the related content being devoted to library events. Originality/Value: There is no evidence within the literature on subject analysis of topics related to library and information science in widely read Iranian newspapers. Accordingly, this research work can provide a clear picture of topics related to library and information science in widely read newspapers.

Using content analysis of four national newspapers in Turkey and applying framing analysis, this study examines how the selected newspapers framed the image of Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan and national image of Turkey after the Davos incident in World Economic Forum 2009. The analysis showed that the newspapers differ in their portrayal of the incident and in their construction of the image of Prime Minister Erdoğan and Turkey. Newspapers in the republican-laic side of the political spectrum in Turkey assessed the incident in negative terms and reflected a more negative image for both Prime Minister Erdoğan and Turkey, whereas newspapers with a conservative-democrat line portrayed more positive images.

This article’s objective was to investigate the relationship between strategic practices and context propertiesenacted by directors of a Protestant Church in Curitiba. Churches are considered highly institutionalizedenvironments. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews to compose a body of text, which wasthen analyzed by content analysis using the software ATLAS.ti. The empirical findings show that there isequifinality of strategic practices, because different actions are employed to reinforce the same properties of acollectively enacted context. These practices were centered mainly in: (a) communication and (b) relationshipswith congregants. It can be concluded that these strategic practices support and are recursively sustained by therelationships among three main socially constructed (enacted) properties: (a) Contextual pressures; (b) the Bible,and (c) Denominational Offices.

Introduction: Community health nursing education in filed is one of the main courses of Iranian nursing education curriculum however, little scientific attention has been paid to the evaluation of community health nursing process so far. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explore nursing students' comprehension of community health nursing in field education. Methods: A qualitative study was employed using content analysis approach with 19 bachelor degree nursing students. Data were gathered through unstructured interview technique.

The participants mentioned the education in filed with its specific conditions as a way to personality development, employing theory in practice, in-depth learning, learning from various human resources, and achieving skill to teach patients. Inhibitor aspects were related to ineffective clinical instructors, inefficiency of management of training, and theory-practice gap. Conclusion: Clinical education of nursing students should cover active learning and personal/professional growth.It also should be compatible with community requirements. The study participants pointed out to factors which nursing education policy makers and nursing faculties should pay attention to in order to improve the quality of training community health nursing in filed.

A Multi-dimensional Analytical Model of Organizational Performance Concept, developed on the basis of previous models, was used to accomplish a comparative, categorical, cross-national, longitudinal, descriptivequantitative and inferential-qualitative content-analysis of Brazilian and Foreign empirical studies from Organizational Studies and Strategy areas, published from 2005 to 2007. It was concluded that this new model applies to empirical research analysis, being distinguished from previous models in terms of greater exaustivity and exclusivity of its categories of analysis. Particularly, the new model constitutes an advance because it includes categories of analysis related to attribution patterns and causal interaction. Comparative analysis of Brazilian and foreign researches revealed (a) preference for unidimensional performance indicators from economic-financial-marketing areas and from a rational theoretical perspective; (b) preference for secondary and objective data, from organizational level of analysis and not-cumulative comparative retrospective static temporal perspective; and (c) preference for research designs that estimate direct and horizontal multilinear relations between the variables, in which performance is used as a dependent variable.

Processes occurring on the theoretical and methodological levels of pedagogy in the modern period are considered.

Introduction: Performance evaluation (PE) of nurse faculty members is complicated and difficult but seems necessary. Deans of the faculties, their educational assistants, and faculty member nurses are responsible for planning, performing, and revising evaluation. Finding their common views in developing PE is of special importance. The aim of this study was to elucidate and describe PE of nurse faculty members. Methods: In this qualitative study, the required data was gathered through two methods of semi-structured interview with experts and examining the existing policies, procedures, and evaluation documents. Totally, the contents of 22 individual interviews and 26 series of subject materials went under qualitative content analysis using arbitrary approach. Purposive sampling and census methods were used for selecting the interviewees and evaluation documents, respectively. Results: Participants had a wide-ranging perspective toward the PE of faculty member nurses. Having the analysis done, these perspectives and the content of the existing documents were placed in three major themes: individual qualifications of faculty member, performance process, and practice outcome. The items which were not in the concept of PE but had an effect on it were categorized as organizational factors. Conclusion: Findings of the current study confirms the suggestions of the experts, who agree a combination of individual attributes, behavior, and result-based systems for PE. But, it considers the qualifications of faculty members which are improvable and modifiable instead of individual attributes. Besides, paying attention to some organizational factors which affect PE is a matter of importance

Considering that soccer is a highly political sport and places itself in the crosshairs of capital questions such as membership and identity, the goal of the present article is to analyze how the discourse of Spanish identity is constructed in the sports press. To that purpose, the author conduct an exhaustive content analysis focused on the four main daily sports papers with the highest print run and circulation in Spain. Specifically, it studies the information published about the Spanish team during its participation in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The article focuses on the role that the sports media currently plays as active agents of ideological transmission of a banal nationalism, and points out the differences that this media process of constructing a Spanish nationality shows compared to non-democratic periods. The article also highlights the existing discrepancies between the ways in which this identity is formed in the sports papers edited in Madrid (centralist) and the ones edited in Barcelona (autonomist).

Abstract This article provides a comprehensive picture of IR in South America by applying content analysis to 7,857 articles published in 35 journals from six South American countries from 2006 to 2014 in order to discover what the predominant theories, methods and research areas in this field are, how scholars tend to combine them in their research designs, and what the profiles of regional journals are, regarding their epistemological, methodological and subject preferences. The findings reveal a predominantly Positivist and largely Qualitative discipline, resembling North American and European IR.

Islamic thought in the field of politics and leaderships is found as the Muslims effort ellaborating basic values of Islamic teachings considered relevant to and applicable in the two fields, mainly in the governmental arrangement and the conduct of ruling persons. The effort is based on the point of view that politics needs some values ordering it so that it as part of human existence (zoon politicon) is able to lead all human beings to a glorified life, not to split them into a lawless and orderless life (homo homini lupus). The effort has been lasting over centuries since the forming of established Muslims community in Madinah.One of sources from wich Muslim thought in the two field in certain period in the long journey of the history of Islam can be traced is manuscripts. Through historical and philological approaches, the outhor took a study on one of heritage manuscripts of Bima Sultanate that was produced in 1882, Jawharat al-Ma‘ârif. Applaying content analysis the outhor picture out the model of Islamic political and leadership tought in the manuscript.Seeing from the three theoretical perspectives concerning the two field, the outhor concluded that the manuscript in line with the third theory which stated that Islam—through al-Qur’an and Sunnah—only has a set of ideal and ethical values concerning the to filed. The ellaboration and practical implementation of the values always follow the local contexts of Muslim communities—in this manuscript the contexts Bimanese Muslim in the 19th century.

The combination of products and services in an integrated offer that delivers value through the provision of a required function is recognized as an important strategy for competitiveness and environmental perspectives. Despite its benefits, the design of a Product-Service System (PSS) is considered more challenging than the design of pure products and services. There are proposals of generic models of PSS design processes to support companies when creating their specific models. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the five most cited generic process models, addressing a level of granularity based on process activities, meanwhile other studies have mostly stopped at the phase level. It employed a content analysis approach to perform the comparative analysis. The results show that the analyzed process models prioritize activities related to “Conceptualization” and “Technical Development (Product, Service and Software, Integration)” categories of the PSS design. They also focus on different parts of these categories, being complementary to each other. Thus, this study suggests that companies should not choose only one of them as a reference to create its own PSS design process, but they should look for elements of different models that fit to their purposes and characteristics. At the end, perspectives for future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
