De(s)colonizando la economía: evidencias de un transdesarrollo transmoderno en México

Qualitative methods are traditionally roots in the anthropological person-centered field. In a virtual and digitalized society, the presence and the agency of technology and devices need to be considered as well. The purpose of this chapter is to contribute conceptually to the reflection of a different ontological perspective in qualitative research. After presenting some qualitative methods centered on humanist ontology and its limits in a virtual and digital society, the author explains the interest to adopt relational ontologies to adapt some qualitative methods in order to overcome the previous limits. This chapter deals with emerging qualitative methods linked to relational ontologies that move away from the individualistic vision of the consumer and also focus on the technological object.

This article uses a decolonial climate imaginary to experiment with alternative approaches to heritage scholarship while analysing uses of intangible heritage within an environmental campaign in Ireland. A decolonial approach is used to examine the Save the Boyne campaign, contrasting the scientistic-materialist basis of the authorised heritage discourse with the relational heritage ontology centred on the myths which activists have deployed. A coalition including the Fairy Council of Ireland is objecting to a treated wastewater pipeline in County Meath that, if constructed, would reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of a slaughterhouse yet discharge treated wastewater into the River Boyne. This article considers how a relational ontology might provoke a broadening of heritage conceptualisations and purposes in this time of planetary crisis.

Getting under the skin: qualitative methods in dermatology research.

Sasi, an indigenous conservation practice in Indonesia, is a means to address the triple planetary crisis—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Sasi involves the temporary restriction of exploitation within specific geographic areas or for certain species, thereby allowing natural resources the necessary time and space to regenerate. Such approaches harmonizes the interests of human and non-human beings. This paper will argue that the current mainstream conservation framework is insufficient to effectively address the multifaceted challenges of the planetary crisis. To substantiate this argument, we apply four foundational ecological principles—ecological integrity, limits, primacy and justice—as a lens through which to assess whether indigenous practices like Sasi provide viable solutions. This analysis is informed by three complementary methodologies: first, a comparative examination of the concept of law in the Anthropocene; second, field research conducted in two regions of Maluku, Haruku and Aru Island, where Sasi is actively practiced; and third, expert discussions to contextualize indigenous conservation from an academic perspective. Our findings suggest that Sasi aligns closely with the four ecological principles. Sasi plays an important role in maintaining ecological integrity and limits by limiting resource exploitation in certain areas, allowing for natural regeneration of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The temporary prohibition of use in Sasi shows the commitment of indigenous peoples to place the preservation of nature as a primacy, beyond current needs, in order to ensure a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations. Ecological justice is manifested in Sasi’s equitable distribution of resources, ensuring that both current and future generations benefit from sustainable practices. Ultimately, this paper will look at local, national, and international legal instruments that provide space for the integration of understandings of ecological integrity, limits, primacy and justice as found in Sasi, and identify best practices in existing legal instruments. The aim is to strengthen and adopt indigenous conservation practices like Sasi to be considered integral to addressing the pressing challenges of the planetary crisis.

The quality of an investigation is denoted by this quality in each of its stages. Assuming an attitude of rigor in each task, such as document review, is a sign of investigative commitment. Developing investigative skills is a relevant aspect for the university professor. The context of this study is a fundamental stage: the documentary analysis, specifically the formation of instrumental skills and provide a guide in this stage of the investigation, which has a methodological utility. That is why, a guide for documentary review and analysis from an investigative approach is proposed. To achieve this proposal, a qualitative study was carried out through a process of searching, organizing, and analyzing information around this research stage. The results are presented in the following categories: purposes of the documentary analysis, objectives of the documentary analysis, strategies for the documentary analysis, guide for the revision and the documentary analysis.

This paper is aimed to analyse time and space as the prominent themes of modern Arabic science fiction on the example of the novel “Voyage to Tomorrow” by Tawfiq al-Hakim. In this research a combination of two research methods - documentary analysis and literature review - was used. Documentary analysis involves obtaining data from about ten scientific articles and theses. Documentary analysis was used to obtain general data about the subject of the research. Results of the research make it obvious that time travel is one of the most contagious ideas in science fiction. In modern society where time is a unit of value and instant gratification is prized, the idea of traveling through time appears more than ever in books, movies, and pop culture. Arabic science fiction writers try to incorporate the latest theories about the nature of the universe to give their stories greater realism. A pioneering figure of modern Arabic science fiction, Tawfiq al-Hakim, is the focus of attention in the paper because of his evolutionary and panoramic view of history and time in his novel “Voyage to Tomorrow”. Qualitative methods, documentary and literary analyses used in the research allowed the author to come to the conclusion that the ideas of the novel approach nature as transformational, rather than static and unchanging, and time as directional, rather than cyclic. The paper also shows how different traditions were combined in the “Voyage to Tomorrow” reflecting peculiarities of modern Arabic science fiction.

Debate about the relationship between environmental limits and economic growth has been taking place for several decades. These arguments have re-emerged with greater intensity following advances in the understanding of the economics of climate change, increases in resource and oil prices and the re-emergence of the discussion about �peak oil�. The economic pessimism created by the great recession of 2008-2012 has also put the spotlight back on the prospects for economic growth. This chapter provides a conceptual and synthetic analysis of the relationship between economic growth and environmental limits, including those imposed by climate change. It explores two related questions. Will environmental limits, including limits on the climate system, slow or even halt economic growth? If not, how will the nature of economic growth have to alter? It is concluded that continued economic growth is feasible and desirable, although not without significant changes in its characteristics. These changes need to involve ultimately the reduction of the rate of material output, with continued growth in value being generated by expansion in the �intellectual economy�.

This paper presents an ongoing study investigating the characteristic of national unity mural art in Perak. Two main aspects are the focus of this study: its characteristic and the implication of national unity on mural art. The study will employ the qualitative and quantitative method. The qualitative method is focusing on the characteristics of the national unity with the explanations by the expert. Therefore the quantitative method is focusing in the implication of national unity to the public. Hence the analysis of documentation and visual data will support this study in order to achieve the aims of this research.

It has been tried to do document analysis together with content analysis about some terms in the works written between 1949 and 1982, which is assumed to be the first period of the psychology of religion. The terms researched are “şuur (consciousness)” and its derivatives in Ottoman, and “consciousness”, “subconscious”, “unconscious” terms which is the modern usage of the term “şuur” and “adolescent, puberty” terms of Western origin which correspond to the meanings of “ergen ve argenlik”. The frequency of the use of these terms in the books was determined and it was examined whether there was a change in time, and the scientific language in using the terms of the psychology of religion was tried to be understood in line with the qualitative method. As a result, the psychology of religion changes some of these terms over time, while others still use them. By examining whether the purposes and bibliographies of the early psychology books were similar or different, it was understood that these terms used in the books of the early psychology of religion kept pace with the language and psychology science language of that period and their changes over time. In addition, it is understood that the works written by theology-based religious psychologists do not only serve the science of psychology of religion, but also they have an individual, educational, political and social goals. Keywords: Psychology of Religion Books, Consciousness (Şuur), Ottoman Compositions, Terms of Western Origin, Document and Content Analysis.

Aims: As a part of university education, college English teaching in private universities is important. The aim of this article is to conduct a survey about the English teaching in these private universities, trying to find out the problems in teaching and learning of English in these private universities, and analyze the deep reasons behind these problems, based on the teaching and learning of English at a university in Beijing.Study Design: This research has been undertaken both from qualitative (mainly from related theories and researches) and quantitative studies (including questionnaire survey, and interviews with teachers and students). The qualitative study could give a basic understanding about the teaching and learning of English conditions in private universities, while the quantitative research was aimed at getting precise statistics which could be used for evaluating whether the results from qualitative study were right or wrong. Data collection involved several research methods, such as document analysis, questionnaire survey, and interviews with teachers and students. Then, a deep analysis of the data was conducted to find out the problems existing regarding college teaching of English at a private university and to analyze the reasons behind these problems. Finally, the author suggested some solutions to solve these problems.Methodology: 1) Document analysis: the author could not come into contact with all private universities’ administrators to investigate this research and the author then turned to analyze their published papers in order to find out teaching and learning of English conditions in private colleges. 2) Interviews: the author interviewed some teachers and administration-related people about the English teaching and learning in a Beijing private university. 3) Questionnaire: the author conducted a questionnaire survey among 200 students about their satisfactory level on their teaching and learning of English.Results: Although private universities have made great improvements in teaching and learning of English, problems (such as unclear teaching objectives, the lack of scientific teaching methods, the shortage of advanced teachers, and students lacking in study motivation) still exist.Conclusion: We can solve these problems through the related theories and work together with the related people.

This paper aims to provide a heroism mythological reflection on the journey of researchers. This study uses the qualitative case study to obtain the comprehension of researchers' metaphor journeys through Monomyth on their research experiences. The documentary analysis is used in this qualitative study with the reflexive narrative because the reflection on experience can help the reader to gain insight into the researcher and their approach during the journey. 15 researcher’s literacy narratives chosen in this study which consists of 8 published literacy narratives and 7 literacy narratives task from participants. Research itself often considered as a journey that extends the existing knowledge and also develops new knowledge of the researcher while wandering in the wilderness of knowledge. Along the way, the researchers with their literacy narratives in this study unconsciously have a similar mythical pattern story as like as the mythical heroes which Campbell (1949) term it as ‘Monomyth’ pattern. The result presented in this paper may facilitate the literate improvements in which to motivate, to help the novice researcher to understand their own hero’s journey and to educate them about the stages that they will experience such as their new transition of conducting their new research.

The purpose of this research was to probe the philosophical beliefs of instructional designers using sound philosophical constructs and quantitative data collection and analysis. We investigated the philosophical and methodological beliefs of instructional designers, including 152 instructional design faculty members and 118 non-faculty professionals. We used the Philosophy of Social Science Inventory, a 52-item questionnaire, to measure 20 beliefs within four categories. We probed four ontological beliefs (ontological realism, ontological relativism, physicalism, and idealism); five epistemological beliefs (epistemological relativism, fallibilism, epistemological objectivity, rationalism, and empiricism); three axiological beliefs (ethical realism, ethical relativism, and valueneutrality in research); and eight methodological beliefs (nomothetic, idiographic and critical methods, scientific naturalism, humanism, and quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods). Our research questions included (a) What are the predominant philosophical and methodological beliefs of instructional designers? (b) Do instructional design faculty and non-faculty instructional designers, identifying with different research methodologies, hold different sets of philosophical beliefs? and (c) What relationships exist between philosophical beliefs and age, gender, ethnicity, level of education, and/or years of service? Overall, the philosophical profile of instructional designers can reasonably be described as pragmatic. Belief characterizations of methodological subgroups (e.g., those identifying with qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods research) generally supported our hypotheses. Although demographic variables (except gender) were not singularly important, our analyses suggest that a combination of ethnicity, gender, research preference, and level of education can be used to predict philosophical and methodological beliefs.

Vocabulary teaching aims to transfer the cultural properties and richness of expression of a language to the next generations. Studies conducted on vocabulary teaching become important in the development of the textbooks used as the primary source for teaching vocabulary in schools, the emergence of new approaches to vocabulary teaching, and the way for the relevant experts to gain different perspectives. When the studies in the literature are reviewed, although there are some studies conducted on vocabulary teaching in textbooks, there is no study that handles all these studies together. The aim of the present study, which was conducted based on the lack of studies in the literature, is to examine the academic studies conducted on vocabulary teaching in secondary school Turkish textbooks between 2006-2023. Within the aim of the study, a total of 22 postgraduate theses and 42 articles that were indexed in Google Scholar, YÖK National Thesis Center, Proquest, and TR Index databases and discussed the vocabulary elements in Turkish textbooks have been examined. Document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study and descriptive analysis was performed to analyze the studies included in the scope of the research. As a result of the study, it was concluded that of the studies conducted on the vocabulary elements in secondary school Turkish textbooks, 34,4 % were theses while 65,6 % of them were articles; the qualitative method was mostly used in studies; the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th-grade Turkish textbooks were examined together throughout the research; studies were conducted to determine the vocabulary elements in the passages of the textbooks, identify the vocabulary elements in the activities of the textbooks, and analyze the textbooks in terms of idioms, proverbs, and word frequency; vocabulary elements such as idioms, proverbs, formulaic expressions, reduplications, proper nouns, and related words were included more; keywords in the studies were grouped under the title of vocabulary, culture, genre, method and technique, book, skill, linguistics, word, and education and training; and keywords included in the studies and aims of the present study overlapped with each other.

The English Performance Lifestyle (PL) service is a Career Assistance Program that aims to support British elite athletes in their holistic development throughout their time in elite sport to support their mental health and career prospects during and following their careers as athletes. Yet, despite the widespread existence and significant funding dedicated to this service, researchers have identified how it is often not fully embedded or used by sport organizations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to extend previous research by understanding the barriers to the provision of the PL service. Underpinned by ontological relativism and epistemological constructivism, 25 Performance Lifestyle Practitioners (PLPs) working in elite sport participated in a qualitative survey and focus groups. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes were developed: There's a Mountain to Climb, It's a Crowded Train, You Need an Elevator Pitch and A Seat at the Performance Table. These themes highlight the barriers PLPs face in supporting athletes with their growth and development during their athletic career. The results offer unique insight into PLPs' roles and the challenges they encounter. As such, we offer practical implications including the importance of organizational support, encouraging athletes to develop a multidimensional identity and a variety of narratives that would offer athletes and practitioners another way to be in elite sport. We also offer recommendations for future research aimed at advancing the practice of PLPs to optimize support for elite athletes, such as including diverse perspectives and including both athlete and practitioner voice in the development of Career Assistance Programs.
