Indigenous Battered Women Who Kill: A Qualitative Thematic AnalysisMorabito, Shannon 18 June 2021 (has links)
This thesis explores the topic of Canadian-Indigenous battered women who killed their
intimate abusers and seeks to better understand these women’s experiences, their treatment within the Canadian criminal justice system, and how BWS was used in their cases. A theoretical framework comprised of Indigenous Feminisms and Intersectionality was used to guide this research study and to shed light on the lived experiences of Indigenous battered women who killed their abusers. Various important Indigenous Feminist theorists such as Dian Million (2013) and Patricia Monture-Angus (1998) were drawn upon as well as advocates for Intersectionality such as Patricia Hill-Collins (2019). A qualitative thematic analysis was performed to create four
overarching themes from eight cases where Indigenous battered women killed their intimate abusers.

Qualitative Thematic Analysis of Social Media Data to Assess Perceptions of Route of Administration for Antiretroviral Treatment Among People Living With HIVMatza, Louis S., Paulus, Trena, Garris, Cindy P., Van de Velde, Nicolas, Chounta, Vasiliki, Deger, Kristen A. 30 April 2020 (has links) (PDF)
Background: HIV is a condition that requires lifelong treatment. Treatment options currently consist of oral antiretroviral therapies (ART) taken once or twice daily. Long-acting injectable HIV treatments are currently in development to be administered monthly or every other month. Preferences for route of administration could influence treatment adherence, which could affect treatment outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine patient perceptions of oral and injectable routes of administration for ART.
Methods: Qualitative thematic analysis was conducted to examine 5122 online discussion threads by people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the POZ Community Forums from January 2013 to June 2018. Analysis focused on identifying perceptions of oral or injectable routes of administration for ART. Relevant threads were extracted and imported into the qualitative data analysis software package ATLAS.ti.8 so that text could be reviewed and coded.
Results: Analyses identified 684 relevant discussion threads including 2626 coded quotations from online posts by 568 PLHIV. The oral route of administration was discussed more frequently than injectable (2516 quotations for oral; 110 injectable). Positive statements on the oral route of administration commonly mentioned the small number of pills (276 quotations), dose frequency (245), ease of scheduling (153), and ease of use (146). PLHIV also noted disadvantages of the oral route of administration including negative emotional impact (166), difficulty with medication access (106), scheduling (131), and treatment adherence (121). Among the smaller number of PLHIV discussing injectable ART, common positive comments focused on dose frequency (34), emotional benefits of not taking a daily pill (7), potential benefits for adherence (6), overall convenience (6), and benefits for traveling (6). Some comments from PLHIV perceived the frequency of injections negatively (10), and others had negative perceptions of needles (8) or appointments required to receive injections (7).
Conclusions: Qualitative analysis revealed that route of administration was frequently discussed among PLHIV on this online forum. While many expressed positive views about their daily oral medication regimen, others perceived inconveniences and challenges. Among PLHIV who were aware of a possible monthly injectable treatment, many viewed this new route of administration as a convenient alternative with potential to improve adherence.

“No this will not work out to combine with the rest of my life” : the Career Development of Female Football Elite Coaches in SwedenThaung, Ebba January 2023 (has links)
The aim of this study was to explore the career development of Swedish female elite football coaches, how they have experienced their journey as a coach, what have been perceived as prosperities and adversities, how that has affected and been handled by the participants. Collecting the data by low-structured interviews, thus the participants got to describe their journey, in chronological order, following a couple of key questions. The participants consisted of 12 Swedish elite female women football coaches. The analyzing method used was a reflexive thematic analysis. The data analysis resulted in three main themes: Beginning - From player-to-coach transition, Continuation - Searching for sustainability and, Today - Making decisions for the future. These in turn have sub-themes that explain the participants' different experiences from their journey, for example challenges and strategies. The primary conclusion made was that sustainability among the participants was of great importance for their journeys. Implications that the study can contributed to are new knowledge for future female coaches, sports organizations and how they can work to facilitate and create a more sustainable journey, to, eventually, making the profession more attractive.

“Hur många isolerade, potentiellt våldsamma, kvinnohatande oskulder finns det egentligen där ute?” : En tematisk innehållsanalys av hur incels porträtterades i svenska nyhetsmedier under 2021Forsbom, Julianna, Nilsson, Saga January 2022 (has links)
During recent years a subculture of people who live in “involuntarily celibacy”, so called incels, has received attention in the mainstream media. The definition of an incel has since the 1990s changed from meaning any person who is alone, to being an online-community of hateful, angry and lonely men. The popularity of the term “incel” in the current media debate can be explained by a number of mass murders and violent crimes that have been committed by men who are a part of that community. As of today, no incel-related crimes have occurred in Sweden, however the term is still heavily discussed in the media. The conversation peaked in 2021, when the Swedish psychiatrist and author Stefan Krakowski released a book based on in-depth interviews with Swedish incels. During the same time period, TV4 made a documentary on the subject of incels that contained conversations with three men who fall into the incel spectrum. The purpose of this study is therefore to do a thematic analysis on how incels were portrayed in Swedish news media during 2021, and analyze the result with help of two theories; news values- and framing theory. From this specific time period, 15 articles were selected for analysis. The results showed that there are some themes that dominate the media, for instance the perception of incels as violent or incels as sad and lonely. This study can be scientifically relevant to show a nuanced picture of how incels are portrayed and what frames that can lead to in society. It can bring new perspectives to the discussion about incels and by that further develop the research field of journalism as well as alternative subcultures.

Lärares syn på problemformuleringar inom matematik / Teachers perceptions of wording of mathematical problemsGustafsson, Dan January 2019 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att försöka finna och beskriva lärares syn på problemformuleringar inom matematik och specifikt hur lärarna anser att det inverkar på elevers förmåga att redovisa sitt kunnande vid skriftliga matematikprov. Studien görs på gymnasienivån. I studien har intervjuer med lärare genomförts för att erhålla data och därefter har en tematisk analys gjorts för att kunna beskriva synen på problemformuleringar som framkommit i lärares utsagor. Det empiriska underlaget bygger på totalt fem intervjuer med gymnasielärare. Trots det ringa antalet framkommer ändå en klar bild av lärares uppfattningar och beskrivningar av problemformuleringar som så och vilken betydelse de har för elevers förmåga att utföra beräkningar. Lärarna upplever att formuleringarna har stor betydelse för i hur stor omfattning elever klarar av att lösa eller tolka uppgifter, dvs har en tydlig resultatpåverkan. Lärare beskriver att formuleringarna påverkar eleverna. Som lärare försöker man variera formuleringar medvetet och beskriver hur det är en del av ämnets kultur att också variera problemformuleringar. Ingen av de intervjuade lärarna försöker medvetet förklara för elever speciellt hur formuleringar kan tydas, alltså det medtas inte i undervisningen. Lärarna kan inte påminna sig att det ingick i deras lärarutbildning att dels formulera problem, dels reflektera kring formuleringars betydelse. Det framkom även att lärarna upplever en ambivalens i förhållande till att variera problemformuleringar, t.ex. upplever man att variationer av formuleringar påverkar svagare elever mer negativt än högpresterande elever, samt att lärarna verkar anse att man bör variera men undervisar inte specifikt om formuleringar som så. / The purpose of this study is to find and describe teachers’ perceptions of the wording of problems in mathematics tests and specifically how it affects pupil’s ability to present their knowledge at high school level.Interviews were conducted to obtain data for a thematic analysis in order to describe the perceptions of the teachers in these interviews. The empirical data consists of five interviews with high school teachers. Despite the small data set a clear picture is revealed of views and descriptions as such and their implications on students’ ability to show knowledge. The teachers perceive that that the wording has an important impact on the students’ ability to interpret or solve problems, i.e. has clear influence on results. They describe that it influences students. They will vary wordings in tests on purpose and perceive that it is a part of the subject’s culture to do so. None of the interviewees try conscientiously to specifically explain for the students how wording should be understood, thus not teached. None of the teachers can recall wording of problems being a part of their educations to become teacher (not included in education of teachers). It emerged as well a perception of ambivalence, e.g. it impacts more weaker students, one is supposed to vary but does not teach how to interpret.

Medias presentation of the police in Malmö. A thematic analysis of three Swedish newspapersErlandsson, Therez January 2017 (has links)
The media can arguably be seen to have an important part in how the public view the police. A negative presentation is seen to have several grave consequences and is argued to influence the public’s confidence in the police's legitimacy. The police in Malmö have during the last decade received much attention and media coverage because of their severe issues with criminality and violence. The aim of this thesis was partly to examine how the police in Malmö is presented in printed news and what the consequences of this might be, but also to examine if the presentation of the police changed since the reorganisation of the police force in Sweden. The method used to achieve this was a thematic analysis which was used on 193 articles from three newspapers. This included a search for themes which were later compiled into measurable figures so an examination of potential trends over the covered period, the 1st of January in 2013 to the 31st December in 2016, was possible. The results showed that 71 articles were positive, 112 articles were negative and 10 articles were neutral or ambiguous. Thus, there were 41 more negative articles than positive which shows that there is a more negative presentation of the police. When examining the trends over time it showed that a change in the presentation occurs the year that the reorganisation of the police force takes effect, however, the change differs between the newspapers.

Death in the ICU: what families tell us about end-of-life careTugenberg, Toni 27 November 2018 (has links)
BACKGROUND: People survive repeated health crises that used to be fatal and, at times, treatment intended to prolong life, prolongs death instead. Many people die in hospitals although they say they prefer to die at home. At the same time, research identifies multiple ways the American healthcare system is ill equipped to serve patients at the end of life. Presently, 20% of Americans die in Intensive Care Units (ICU), thus ICUs represent an important setting for learning about end-of-life care and death in America today.
PURPOSE: To explore the nature of ICU care as perceived by family members, this qualitative study analyzed 693 reports from surveys mailed to family members of patients who died in the ICU of a major Boston hospital between 2009 and 2015. The study focused on experiences of received services as reported in responses to the survey’s three open-ended questions regarding helpful and unhelpful aspects of care surrounding the patient’s death. Family member experiences with social work services were also explored.
METHODS: Data were assessed using the Family-centered Care (FCC) model, an emerging framework for provision of best practices in hospital settings. This framework emphasizes that patients, families, and health care providers work in partnership to set treatment goals. Since FCC has been correlated with better outcomes, one research objective here was to explore the extent to which family members’ experiences reflected the presence of FCC. The study also assessed family members’ experiences that fell outside the realm of FCC. Using NVivo software, analysis was guided by Braun and Clarke’s (2012) six-phase thematic analysis approach.
FINDINGS AND IMPLICATIONS: Family members described numerous positive experiences. Deaths were humane and the delivery of FCC was evident. An in-depth data analysis provided illuminating details of FCC and explicated over 47 themes important to families’ ICU experiences. Families reported that they received emotional support, were well-informed, and were treated with respect. Findings suggest that FCC is possible in an ICU setting, supporting the use of FCC in ICU care and suggesting that it could profoundly improve the quality of end-of-life care. Responses concerning the role of social work were limited.

Chaos or Clarity: A Corpus-Assisted Analysis of Top Comments on Jordan Peterson's Controversial YouTube VideosBaharmand, Behnam January 2023 (has links)
This thesis endeavors to make sense of how Jordan Peterson, a highly controversial public figure—who is rapidly becoming academia’s equivalent to a rock star—is perceived by his online audience. To that end, the study adopts an analytical approach while integrating several theoretical frameworks, including the concept of echo chambers. It concentrates on Peterson’s two most viewed videos on YouTube, found on British GQ (@BritishGQ) and Channel 4 News (@Channel4News), examining the comments section for insights. Besides being the most popular entries with a combined total of over one hundred million views, these videos are also of particular interest since they both involve a one-on-one interview format with a host questioning Peterson about similar yet different topics. While Peterson has been the subject of various research in different disciplines, little attention has been paid to how his audience in social media generally perceives him as a public figure. The primary objective is to discover more about his online following by evaluating their comments, particularly those that receive the most likes and appear at the top. The data is intricate and encompasses various inquiries that call for clarification. The investigation employs corpus linguistics, computational methods, and sentiment analysis to gain deeper insight into the data. The analysis revealed that the majority of influential commenters expressed favorable opinions about the interviewee, with subjective language and direct quotes from the interview being prevalent. There were also distinct themes and echo chambers present, and comments with polarized sentiments tended to be more popular among viewers. In addition to discussing the technical aspects and limitations that must be considered when interpreting the findings, this study emphasizes the promise of social media and new media as powerful tools for effecting social change and promoting public discourse on various issues. The study concludes that employing various methods simultaneously to paint a comprehensive picture from a dataset seems exciting and that the choice of approach comes down to the research questions and the resources available. The paper calls for further research to determine the extent to which the findings can be applied to similar ventures and explore the implications of echo chambers on public perception and discourse.
