“…Thus, what is termed as the "content" of the analysis is a consensual interpretation among the authors (Harwood and Garry, 2003). This content will be "thematic" in general patterns identified in the information -the "themes" -will be identified, but there will not be any in-depth examination of their specific details, once identified as patterns.…”

Estudo da linguagem a partir da perspectiva sociocultural Estudio del lenguaje desde una perspectiva sociocultural Received on April 22, 2017. Accepted on July 17, 2017Julián Alí Laboy Rodríguez** Puerto Rico José Antonio Maldonado Martínez*** Puerto Rico AbstractObjetive: this paper aims to determine the contributions of recent research on language from a sociocultural perspective. Methodology: a thematic content analysis was performed based on preestablished categories: internal language, teaching types, bilingualism, and other emerging categories: games and practical participation. Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR and RedALyC were the sources of information and 38 published research articles were selected from indexed journals since 2010. Results: from the sociocultural perspective, it was evident that, these studies contribute to a diversity of issues related to language, such as: practical participation, the process of change from a guided to an internal language, the 18 learning a second language. Conclusions: it is concluded that some topics will seem to be studied in abundance but not from a Sociocultural Theory perspective. The human being is a product of different social, cultural and individual contexts; thus, there will always be different approaches to address issues related to language. ResumoObjetivo: determinar as contribuições de pesquisas recentes sobre a linguagem a partir da perspectiva sociocultural. Metodologia: uma análise de conteúdo temática foi realizada com base em categorias pré-estabelecidas: linguagem interna, tipos de educação, bilinguismo, e outras de caráter emergente: jogo e participação na prática. As bases de dados que foram utilizadas para a busca foram Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR e RedALyC. Foram selecionadas 38 pesquisas publicadas em revistas indexadas desde 2010. Resultados: evidenciou-se que, desde a perspectiva sociocultural, os estudos fornecem uma variedade de temas relacionados à linguagem, como a participação na prática, o processo de mudança de uma linguagem dirigida a uma interna, a importância do jogo no desenvolvimento, benefícios do ensino explícito e o impacto da aprendizagem de uma segunda língua. Conclusões: conclui-se que algumas questões parecem saturadas, mas uma teoria sociocultural apostaria a que na realidade isso é inverossímil. O ser humano é o resultado de diferentes contextos sociais, culturais e individuais, de modo que sempre existirão diferentes perspectivas para abordar questões relacionadas à linguagem.

“…The data gathered was analysed using thematic content analysis, given the suitability of this technique for exploratory analysis of unstructured data (Mayring, 2000;Hsieh & Shannon, 2005;Harwood & Garry, 2003). To this end, a thematic categorization was made, sorting the data according to its semantic similarities, following the structure proposed by Graneheim and Lundman (2004):…”

The literature shows that category management is an important concept and tool for retailers and suppliers, but that there is a trend to move to a more shopper-centric category management approach, linked to the shoppermarketing approach. However, the knowledge on this issue is scarce on some retailing sectors, like convenience stores. The present study is focused on convenience stores, with the main purpose of finding out to what extent non-major food retailers successfully adopt a shopper-centric category management. The study is relevant in order to evaluate if a more shopper-centric approach is adequate to smaller companies/stores. To accomplish that goal, an exploratory qualitative study was conducted among convenience store retailers and suppliers. Six semistructured face-to-face interviews were conducted with Commercial Directors and Trade Marketing Managers. This data was complemented with thirteen interviews with shopper marketing experts. The data was analyzed using thematic content analysis technique, identifying themes, categories, subcategories, units of meaning and relations. The results revealed that convenience store retailers use some of the principles and techniques of the shopper-marketing and shopper-centric category management approaches, which they do in a non-standardized and non-formal approach or process. Their suppliers (the manufacturers) do it in a more formal and structured manner, probably as a result of previous interaction with major supermarkets chains. Both direct and indirect evidences of a shopper-centric approach were found, which, however, were slight, discrete and not formal.

“…This dual form of interrogation was an attempt to increase the credibility and dependability (Guba, 1981;and Lincoln and Guba, 1985) of the choice of both key themes and sub-themes through a triangulation process. NVivo 11 was further used to explore these sub-themes by helping to pull together each of these sub-themes from all the interviews (Harwood and Garry, 2003). In this way, it was possible to capture each respondent's comments across transcripts and the various available documentation (Riessman, 1993) on each supported sub-theme and place them together for further consideration and analysis.…”

This is a research paper focused on assessing the design project manager behaviour and the raised managerial design issues relating to a formal design review in a metro project start-up. Very little research has been conducted in this area and the paper exposes weak aspects of the design review process previously unexplored in today's metro construction environments.In order to consider more implicitly the questions and issues raised, this empirical groundwork utilised an interpretive perspective. The scope for this research was the design mechanisms/processes associated with a large single package -a TBM Segment Design. The population for this study was made up of a number of individuals (12) engineers/Managers located at site, and a total of 9 Engineers/Managers were determined as the resultant sample frame.The outcomes consisted of six (6) themes, namely: Mismanagement Issues; Management Interference; Technical Issues; Contractor Design managers Issues; Documentation Issues; Communication Issues, raised from an initial question; these were further developed into four (4) final themes relating to an assessment of the managerial implications.The paper gives a clear insight into the practical issues surrounding a metro design review and the development of appropriate managerial strategies that can be implemented. The paper also addresses some of the implications for continuing design review developments. The paper suggests that projects of this kind may benefit from an Integrated Collaborative Design approach through integrating construction expertise with the design process at the detail design phase.
