Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, are changing the way researchers can process and analyse qualitative data. In this paper the use of ChatGPT is tested for Quantitative Content Analysis (QCA) by applying it to interview material about digital construction technology and sustainability. Two versions of the same data are compared: (1) complete transcripts of five interviews with professors, and (2) a shorter summarized version of the same interviews (the summaries were prepared by researcher). With the same workflow, ChatGPT did several steps: preprocessing (splitting the text into words, removing very common small words, and reducing words to their basic form), keyword extraction, thematic coding with five categories, and also a simple sentiment analysis. The aims were: (a) to see if ChatGPT can find the main themes in a reliable way, (b) to compare results from full transcripts versus summaries, and (c) to understand what practical advantages and problems appear when undertaking ChatGPT in a real research situation. The results were similar at the general level: Digital Technology and Sustainability were the strongest themes in both datasets, followed by Education/Training, Benefits, and Barriers. The sentiment analysis gave slightly positive values in both (+0.18 for transcripts, +0.16 for summaries). At a more detailed level, the transcripts included more technical words (for example “embodied carbon”, “Life cycle Analysis (LCA)” and standards), while the summaries included more general terms, which made the counts higher. Some practical issues also influenced the work: undertaking a free ChatGPT account caused interruptions, sometimes the tool changed its output style, and it was difficult to export charts or tables, these problems reduced reproducibility. In conclusion, ChatGPT can be useful for first steps in QCA and for saving time in early coding, but it is not enough for final or very detailed analysis. For better use, the following suggestions are provided: a combination of AI with human checking, making domain-specific dictionaries, undertaking clear and repeated prompts, and working with more stable or professional access. This study shows both the opportunities and the real problems when ChatGPT is used for content analysis in construction and sustainability research.

ABSTRACT Musicking is fundamentally rooted in embodiment. A bold assertion, that serves as the foundation of this paper. Embodied approaches are particularly evident in oral music genres, like Hindustani (North Indian Classical) Dhrupad vocal music, where the transmission of music knowledge relies exclusively on direct interaction between teacher and disciple through live demonstration and imitation. In this paper, I investigate the embodied aspects of conventional in-person Dhrupad music pedagogy through the lens of the 4E cognition framework, which highlights the close interplay between body, mind, and surrounding environment. I adopt an empirical, ethnomusicological approach and present a qualitative analysis of originally collected interview material from prominent representatives of Dhrupad music. The primary objective of this paper is to enhance our comprehension of how body movements are related to the voice and implicated in the communication and transmission of music-related knowledge in face-to-face teaching sessions. By gaining a better insight into these mechanisms, I aim to raise concerns on the suitability of prevailing network-mediated platforms commonly employed for synchronous online Dhrupad music education, and to explore how they might be reimagined to better support the embodied and gestural modes of communication central to Dhrupad vocal music.

Abstract Besides authoring ‘The Northern Netherlands: large problem area in a small country, small problem area in a large economic community’, Robert Tamsma (1922–2005) was an important bridging figure between two eras in the history of Dutch geography. In several ways, we can consider him a modern geographer in the 1960s, but he quickly became seen as the last of the old regionalist guard in the 1970s. Resultantly, his often‐innovative contributions are almost forgotten like he was a ‘prophet in the desert’. This article re‐evaluates Tamsma’s contributions to academic geography, Dutch school geography, public geography, the Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie ( TESG ) and research on Dutch peripheral eras. These contributions are contextualised in a biographical sketch of Tamsma’s career based on archival and interview materials that have recently become available.

The Indonesian island of Java is known for its many traditional arts, one of which is the Jaran Kepang traditional dance. Jaran Kepang is a performance art performed by several dancers in an open space accompanied by Javanese gamelan music. This dance depicts a group of horsemen going to war. Thin woven bamboo sheets are shaped like horses and ridden by a performer during the attraction. In addition, the Jaran Kepang dance has a magical element where the dancers are in a trance state. East Java Province is one of the provinces that has Jaran Kepang art. Banyuwangi is one of the regions that still actively carries out this art. Efforts to preserve traditional culture are one of the important issues in traditional cultural activities in a region. This research was conducted with the aim of describing the Jaran Kepang traditional dance art in Banyuwangi and Malang regencies, East Java province, Indonesia. The research was conducted using an interview model using the snowball method to gather information. The interviewees were selected as five people who were generally artists or leaders of art organizations. Those selected have at least 10 years of experience in the art of Jaran Kepang. Interview materials covered dance, art properties, and aspects of cultural, philosophical, and religious values. The research results show that Jaran Kepang Banyuwangi possesses cultural, philosophical, and religious values. The artistic elements, including the performers' costumes, art equipment, offerings, and dances, have their own meaning.

Abstract This article examines the ongoing change brought by digitalisation to the Finnish asylum procedure. It presents findings from interviews conducted with legal representatives of asylum applicants and public officials at the Finnish Immigration Service on the benefits and risks related to digitalisation. In addition to the interview material, publicly available documentation is also analysed on the digitalisation of the asylum procedure and its legal framework. First, the study finds that digitalisation in this context is multilayered; however, it is understood rather differently between the two professional groups. Second, the different needs and interests of the stakeholders involved in sociotechnical practices meet, clash and are negotiated. This is exemplified in the study particularly in relation to the organization of remote asylum interviews. The findings suggest that these sociotechnical practices produce procedural vulnerabilities that particularly affect asylum seekers in weaker positions.

The objective of this text is to present narratives of artists and non-artists who participated in the platform Blind Date. Blind Date is a research and artistic platform that cultivates collaborative actions, with the cooperation of two different groups of people (artists/nonartists, visual artists/ poets, artists/refugees etc.), in connection with space and community. We will capture aspects of the discourse of the platform participants, who were investigated through in-depth interviews. The research questions deal with issues of participation in the project: what is the relationship between the Blind Date experience and social space in each project? In what way is the artistic action connected with performativity? How do the participants perceive concepts such as cooperation, participation, and collectiveness in their practice? What is the connection between participation, hospitality, and performance in the narratives of the participants? What are their expectations from participating in Blind Date? How is the experience of participating in the project reflected? Did their participation in Blind Date influence their subsequent professional career? The interview material was examined through discourse analysis and discursive psychology methodology (Potter & Wetherell 1987; Phillips & Jorgensen, 2002). The research and analysis were carried out within a sociological framework. It was important to examine sociological theories on art creators that enlighten and strengthen our analysis (Bourdieu 1993, 1995; Becker 1982, 1974; Heinich 2004; Elias 1982). Further, sociological approaches to collaboration (Becker 1974; Sennett 2012, Goffman 1972) enhanced our approach to the importance of participation, action, and performance in community and social space. The results of the interviews depict interesting perspectives of the participants that interconnect their interaction in the platform with matters and terms of ‘social space’ and ‘time’, with ‘artistic practices’. The practices and actions include performative, bodily, and participatory aspects of the interaction process of the project. The terms mentioned above link the participants with the notions of performativity, social space/community, and hospitality.

IntroductionThis article discuss the use of drama and storytelling in café dialogue at an adult education centre (AEC). I will present three drama workshops that were implemented as part of café dialogue and that explore the same topics as in traditional café dialogue at an AEC. Participants from different countries came together for exploration in the drama workshop, whereas the group participants in café dialogue came mostly from the same country in order to facilitate the organisation of a language host. I will also analyse and discuss the data material from the interviews as this relates to the research questions. The overall goal of this article is to explore the potential and the limitations of using drama and theatre as part of café dialogue.MethodsOur research methods are observations, logs, and interviews. Data were collected through participant and non-participant observation of three drama workshops in which several drama conventions were used. Two teachers at an AEC with a drama background led the first workshop while I observed, and I led the second workshop while one of the teachers with a drama background actively participated and wrote a log afterwards. The third workshop was led by both a teacher with a drama background and myself. After the workshops, a colleague from HVL and I conducted individual interviews with the two teachers with drama experience, a language host, and a participant in the drama workshops. In this article I analyse the interviews to gain more insight into the teachers’ and students’ experience of drama as part of café dialogue.ResultsThe students actively participated in collective creative processes and gave different topics an aesthetic form. They generated much joy and laughter in the classroom. Drama opened the way for both nonverbal and verbal communication across age and culture. Several students were reluctant at first but became more active over time thanks to the creation of a safe atmosphere and the voluntary nature of participation. The article includes many examples of drama conventions fit for use in this work, which the teacher introduces and which allow participants to take the initiative in the processes. In the drama workshops, the teachers and participants created a safe space together in which they could explore artistic expressions collectively. According to the teachers with drama experience, they too needed to be more active in these workshops. By bringing drama into café dialogue, the participants had an embodied experience and emotive fictional engagement. It seems easier to explore and play out others’ stories than one’s own. The participants experienced a sense of mastery because drama offers several possibilities they could play with and an expanded form of communication. One of the teachers found that whereas the café dialogue was structured and organised, the drama workshops were more open and made the participants more active in many ways.DiscussionIn this article, I discuss the potential and the limitations of using drama and theatre as part of café dialogue. I will interpret the drama workshop and interview material in light of theory.

It is indicated that in modern criminology, no serious study of individual categories of crimes, including military offenses and, in particular, desertion from a military unit or place of service, can do without a detailed analysis of the personality of the criminal, since it is he who constitutes the main element of the mechanism of illegal behavior and is a determining factor for understanding the causes and conditions for committing a criminal offense. This article is devoted to a thorough criminological analysis of military personnel who have left their military unit or place of service without permission (Article 407 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The analysis focuses on offenses committed under the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine, since there is currently a lack of comprehensive monographic studies devoted exclusively to unauthorized departure from a military unit or place of service, despite the growing public danger of this phenomenon during the repulsion of the aggressor. Based on an analysis of court decisions, criminal law statistics, and interview materials with the relevant offenders, a comprehensive criminological characterization of a military serviceman who committed a crime under Article 407 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is provided. His socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, marital status, branch of the armed forces, military rank, position, etc.), criminal law characteristics (form of unauthorized absence from military unit or place of service, previous convictions, type and severity of punishment, mitigating or aggravating circumstances, etc.), as well as moral and psychological (needs, motives, personality traits) characteristics and properties. In characterizing the latter block of characteristics and properties, emphasis is placed on the main factors that determine the act under consideration, in particular: fear for one’s life, physical and psychological exhaustion, addictive dependencies, low stress resistance, and manifestations of legal and moral nihilism. The article emphasizes that the results of the study of military personnel who have committed offenses are of significant practical importance for preventing unauthorized departure from military units or places of service, including the optimization of the training and staffing system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the development of targeted psychological support programs for military personnel.

ABSTRACT Autistic youth often face barriers to physical activity (PA) participation and may feel excluded or self-exclude from various PA settings. While previous research has identified barriers and facilitators, there remains limited depth understanding of autistic youths lived experiences. This study explores how autistic youth navigate PA participation through lived experiences of meaning. Using a phenomenological approach, the lifeworld of four autistic youth (ages 13–16) was explored through a combination of activity logs, qualitative interviews and accelerometry. The activity logs were used as a common starting ground, of which the participants had ownership, for reflection on lived experiences in the interviews. Interpretative phenomenological analysis guided the analytical process, and through this process, van Manen’s lifeworld existentials resonated strongly with the interview material and became central to understanding the youths’ lived experiences. Findings highlight the interconnectedness of the existentials, lived space, lived body, lived time and lived others. Through navigating their experiences of enjoyment, belonging, mastery and autonomy, the participants manage their PA participation. More concretely, experiencing oneself as an equal and meaningful member of the community, experiencing certainty, mastery of both technic, relations and the space, and control over both own time and context in activities where they experience joy, highly influences their participation.

Based on interview material with young Punjabi women migrants in the Emilia Romagna region in northern Italy, this article emphasises the importance of location and space in shaping women’s agency. I argue that place is not a mere geographic space, but a process constructed by gender and identity. Focusing on the home as the significant safe space of migrant women’s lives, the article argues that rupture in the home, due to a breakdown in marital relations, entails a movement away from that safe space of the home. This movement is characterised by trauma, trepidation and courage in seeking an independent life. The role of the larger family, community, and welfare services is indispensable in this process. This is borne out through the narratives of three women, one in rural Punjab in India, and the others in northern Italy. The article concludes with an effort to understand how agency plays out in the most difficult of circumstances, with familial and state support.

Objectives: This study explored perceptions, experiences, and outcomes associated with the choice of insulin therapies among pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Methods: This study included 20 adolescents (8 male and 12 female) with T1D, with a mean age of 15.05 ± 0.91 years, a mean diabetes duration of 5.19 ± 1.2 years, and a mean most recent HbA1c of 7.03 ± 0.16%. Ten of the participants were using an insulin pump (n = 10) and another 10 had either refused (n = 7) or discontinued (n = 3) insulin pump therapy. A qualitative inductive method was employed, using in-depth individual interviews. The interview material was transcribed verbatim and grounded theory was used to analyze the verbal material. Results: Four main thematic categories were identified from the narrations that captured both common and divergent perceptions of insulin pump users versus non-users: (1) adjusting to the lifelong diagnosis, (2) exposing diabetes versus hiding it, (3) becoming autonomous and integrating insulin pump therapy into daily life, and (4) worrying over the pump. The third theme, capturing autonomy and integration, surfaced as the core thematic category of this study. Conclusions: This grounded theory study revealed that, by using insulin pump therapy, adolescent T1D patients can enhance their autonomy and facilitate the integration of insulin treatment into their life. This study identified processes that inform diabetes education and contribute to ameliorating gaps in the uptake and maintenance of pump therapy in pediatric care.

Despite the increasing number of studies indicating that generative artificial intelligence is conducive to cultivating college students’ critical thinking skills, research on the impact of college students’ use of generative artificial intelligence on their critical thinking skills in an open learning environment is still scarce. This study aims to investigate whether the use of generative artificial intelligence by college students in an open learning environment can effectively enhance their critical thinking skills. The study is centered around the following questions: Does the use of generative artificial intelligence in an open learning environment enhance college students’ critical thinking skills (what)? What is the mechanism by which the use of generative artificial intelligence affects college students’ critical thinking (how)? From the perspective of self-regulated learning theory and learning motivation theory, what are the reasons for the impact of generative artificial intelligence on college students’ critical thinking skills (why)? To this end, the study employs questionnaires and interviews to collect data. The questionnaire data are subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, multiple stepwise regression analysis, and mediation effect analysis. Based on the analysis of interview materials and survey questionnaire data, the study reveals the impacts and mechanisms of college students’ use of generative artificial intelligence tools on their critical thinking skills. The findings of the study are as follows. First, the frequency of artificial intelligence use is unrelated to critical thinking skills, but using it for reflective thinking helps to develop critical thinking skills. Second, students with strong self-regulated learning skills are more likely to use generative artificial intelligence for reflective thinking and achieve better development in critical thinking skills. Third, students with strong intrinsic learning motivation are more likely to use generative artificial intelligence for reflective thinking and achieve better development in critical thinking skills. Consequently, the article analyzes the reasons from the perspectives of self-regulated learning theory and learning motivation theory and offers insights into how to properly use generative artificial intelligence to promote the development of critical thinking skills from the perspectives of higher education institutions, college teachers, and college students.

Religious freedom, the management of religious diversity, and interreligious dialogue are emerging and closely interconnected phenomena. In the context of increasing religious pluralism, policymakers, religious institutions, and other civil society actors and organizations face challenges, particularly as they strive to legitimize their religious, social, and legal positions in contemporary societies. Drawing on 47 interviews with policymakers (N° 10), privileged informants (N° 15), and religious (N° 18) and interreligious leaders (N° 4), conducted as part of the Project Urban Governance of Religious Diversity (2023–2025), this article examines interreligious dialogue, as a social practice shaped by national legal frameworks on religious freedom and local governance mechanisms regulating religious diversity. More specifically, we analyze the three most relevant themes that emerged from the interview material: first, the limitations and opportunities within the current legislative framework, particularly in relation to local administrations’ efforts to complement national regulations and support religious communities in innovative ways; second, critiques of top-down initiatives on interreligious dialogue, wherein institutional priorities sometimes overshadow the voices and needs of religious groups; and finally, the impact of global events, such as the ongoing genocide in Palestine, on interreligious dialogue and established relationships among different faith communities. The article concludes by summarizing the main findings and outlining potential avenues for future research.

This study aims to develop a digital comic media as a practical and engaging learning tool to improve critical thinking skills of third-grade elementary students in the subject of Indonesian language, specifically in the interview material. The research was motivated by the limited use of interactive and relevant learning media suitable for elementary school characteristics, hence the need for innovative media to enhance students' engagement and understanding. The research method used is Research and Development (RD) with a simplified Borg Gall development model. The subjects of this study were third-grade students at SD Negeri Sumberejo 01. Data collection techniques used questionnaires to measure the responses and effectiveness of the developed media. The results showed that the developed digital comic media received highly positive responses from both students and teachers. The media was considered interesting, easy to use, and helpful in enhancing students’ understanding of interview material. Furthermore, the use of digital comics in learning was proven to support the development of students' critical thinking through observation and content comprehension. Thus, it can be concluded that digital comic media is feasible to be used as an alternative learning tool for Indonesian language instruction in elementary schools.

Abstract Interviews have long depended on recordings, but the interview ‘text’ has traditionally been transcribed and published in written form. Scholars therefore hailed the advent of digitization for making recordings available to a broader audience and displaying their orality. Despite this growing interest in the significance of speaking voices, other sonic aspects of interviews are still largely ignored. Set within the frameworks of multimodal research and audionarratology, this article explores the sonic environment of an interview conducted by journalist Heinz Ludwig Arnold with German author Günter Grass in 1970, subsequently published in written form in 1990 and released as an audio recording in 2011. It analyses how voices, background sounds and noises impact on narratives told and on the interview trajectory at large and how they can inform our interpretation of interview materials. The article argues for a more comprehensive approach towards the sonic dimension of audio-recorded interviews and interview narratives.

ABSTRACTBackgroundImmigrants with language barriers face significant challenges in communication with the healthcare system and often rely on family caregivers' interpretation. These challenges are intensified in critical treatment trajectories such as cancer. In this context, family caregiver interpretation may imply risks of patient safety due to the complex treatment information. Furthermore, the roles and dynamics between family members may be at stake due to the often critical and sensitive nature of the information.AimThe aim of the study was to explore how family members, involved as informal interpreters for immigrant patients with cancer, experience their role throughout the cancer trajectory.MethodData were collected through semi‐structured individual interviews. The participants were family caregivers related to immigrant patients with cancer and with limited Danish language proficiency and were recruited by a purposive sampling strategy to present a variety of experiences. The interview material was analysed and interpreted following Malterud's systematic text condensation with a phenomenological hermeneutic approach.ResultsThe analysis revealed three themes reflecting caregivers' experiences of the intercultural dilemmas of their supportive role: ‘Caught in a double role – Family caregiver and interpreter’, ‘Balancing patient's integrity and health‐related needs’, and ‘Navigating the cultural gaps between the patient and the healthcare system’.ConclusionThis study highlights the intercultural challenges that arise when family caregivers act as interpreters for immigrant patients in critical treatment trajectories. These challenges have potential risks for both patients and family members which require attention from health professionals in clinical encounters. The study points at the need for improving support to family caregivers involved in the treatment trajectories of immigrant patients with language barriers.

Against the backdrop of the intensifying aging of the population in China, rural areas, as traditional family-oriented societies, the marital status and marital quality of the younger generation have already become important factors influencing the happiness of elderly people. This study delved into Guangshan County, Henan Province, and collected 26 interview materials and 440 questionnaires through questionnaire surveys and on-site interviews. Using methods such as the multiple Logistic regression model and case analysis, empirical studies reveal that there is a notable inverse relationship between rural elderly individuals' perception of their children's marriage squeeze and their subjective well - being. The offspring's marriage squeeze reduces the subjective well-being of elderly people through four pathways: increasing parental transfer payments, reducing offspring's support for the elderly, decreasing emotional support, and reducing social participation, thus harming the subjective well-being of elderly people.

Qualitative data mining tools have been widely applied in academic research that involves qualitative data analysis. Based on the authors experience in analyzing interview materials collected through fieldwork, this study compares several commonly used qualitative data analysis software tools, examining their respective strengths and weaknesses. It evaluates these tools from three dimensions: cost, research needs, and technical competence. The conclusion drawn is that researchers should select qualitative data mining tools that best suit their specific needs and technical skills. Beginners are encouraged to try mature commercial software. Looking ahead, qualitative data mining tools are expected to evolve toward greater automation, connectivity, and mobility.

ABSTRACT Established in 1971, the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA)—a defence pact comprising Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and Singapore—has played a significant security role in Southeast Asia. A central feature of the FPDA is the conduct of Joint Military Exercises (JMEs), which involve all member states. This article draws on declassified diplomatic and defence documents, interview materials, and other sources, including press releases, to examine the utility of FPDA JMEs to the regional order in Southeast Asia. It argues that these exercises contribute to regional order in Southeast Asia by facilitating defence ties between Malaysia and Singapore, building up their military capabilities, and deterring potential adversaries while enjoying tacit acceptance from regional actors and external powers. These exercises not only influence regional dynamics but are themselves shaped by evolving geopolitical and regional conditions, highlighting the reciprocal nature of their impact.
