This document outlines the process of thematic analysis for qualitative research methods. It discusses constructing categories from the data and naming themes. The criteria for categories is that they should be responsive to the research purpose, exhaustive, mutually exclusive, and sensitizing. The number of themes can depend, but preferably there should be five to six according to Cresswell. Different types of qualitative data analysis are described, including phenomenological, grounded theory, ethnographic, narrative, case studies, and content analysis. Guidance is provided on the specific processes for each type. The importance of focusing on the research question rather than getting lost in software is also emphasized.
Thematic analysis is a common form of qualitative analysis that involves identifying and examining patterns (themes) within data related to a research question. The analysis is performed through a six phase coding process: 1) familiarizing with the data, 2) generating initial codes, 3) searching for themes among codes, 4) reviewing themes, 5) defining and naming themes, and 6) producing a final report. Themes differ from codes in that they describe what the data means rather than just labeling it. The coding process is cyclical, with researchers refining codes and themes by going back and forth between the phases until reaching satisfactory final themes.
The document discusses qualitative coding and memo writing. It provides an overview of coding approaches like descriptive, in vivo, and pattern coding. Codes are short phrases that symbolically represent portions of data. Memos are written reflections on codes, their relationships, and emerging ideas. The document emphasizes that coding and memo writing are iterative, cyclical processes to develop categories and analyze their connections for qualitative research.
The document outlines 8 steps for qualitative data analysis: 1) transcribe all data, 2) organize the data, 3) code the first set of field notes, 4) note personal reflections, 5) sort and sift through materials to identify patterns, themes, and relationships, 6) identify patterns and processes and test them in further data collection, 7) elaborate a small set of generalizations covering consistencies, 8) examine generalizations in relation to formal theories and constructs.
This document provides an overview of NVivo and how it can be used for literature reviews. It discusses NVivo as a qualitative data analysis software that allows users to organize and analyze unstructured data. The document then outlines an 8 step process for using NVivo for literature reviews: 1) Create an NVivo project, 2) Import references, 3) Name and classify references, 4) Identify important bits to code, 5) Code them, 6) Combine similar codes, 7) Develop themes, 8) Write up findings while writing memos and using queries. Key functions of NVivo explained include importing data, coding, memo writing, and running queries to facilitate analysis.
NVivo is software that helps organize and analyze qualitative data. It allows importing different file types into a single project. The core function is coding - tagging chunks of text from sources like interviews with descriptive nodes or labels. Coding can be done a priori based on theory or inductively as themes emerge. Nodes are also used to classify cases like people. Content analysis involves systematically tagging text to identify and describe themes. Coding is an iterative process to make sense of the data with no single correct way. NVivo provides tools to aid the analysis but understanding comes from the researcher's analysis.
This document summarizes a presentation on discovery tools given at a library technology conference. It discusses getting started with discovery by determining goals and drafting a statement of need.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Using nvivo to tell the story, the power of coding
1. Using NVivo to
tell the story – the
power of coding
Disseminate
Discover
Analyze
Collect
Conceive
2. What makes NVivo so awesome?
• Prior to software – do you
remember manual coding?
• It’s like when we had typewriters
with white out versus laptops!
• Efficiency – efficiency –
efficiency
• New ideas to slice and dice data
3. The Projects
• Developing a tailored exercise
program for people living with
Severe and Persistent Mental Illness
(SPMI) in a local community in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
• Gender based focus group
discussions
• Completing a desk review to analyze
the impact of Social and Behavior
Change Communication (SBCC)
interventions on malaria case
management outcomes
• Country specific key
informant interviews (KIIs)
stakeholders
4. Development of tools
• Focus group guides were based on a review of the literature of
what had been used before and was modified
• KII questionnaire was based on gap identification in knowledge,
particular questions from implementing agency
• Both were approved by respective Institutional Review Boards at
specific Universities
5. Data collection
• All focus groups and interviews were recorded and transcribed
• All transcriptions were reviewed against recording for accuracy
• All data uploaded directly into NVivo
• External Data Documents Import and browse
6. How did we do the analysis? The NVivo
experience
• Code book inputted – “nodes”
• Open Edit Nodes Sub-nodes New codes Create node
• A combination of open and selective coding based on what we knew from
the literature and outcomes of the focus groups
• Drag and drop! Drag and drop!
• View Coding stripes - All nodes
• Highlight and coding for all nodes
• You can see the coding density, what you have coded, etc.
7. Live nodes, relationships, themes
• New discoveries while coding may lead to new nodes
• Select text, analyze, auto code, develop node, edit, rename and describe
• Node colors, group certain themes together
• Positive perceptions, facilitators, red - negative perceptions, barriers - blue/green
8. The power of vignettes and graphics
• Example of vignette from focus group discussions
• “Self-esteem is a major issue in here”
• Emphasis on key issues that are brought up in analysis by using
quotes from participants
9. • Word clouds! Simple,
effective ways to
show what
themes/words are
resonating more
frequently than
others
• Query
• Word Frequency
10. Data Reports
• Run reports by node frequency
• NVivo has built in user friendly applications
• Navigation view Report Coding summary by node report
node.hierarchical name, File Print preview – all the coding from those
nodes is organized for review!
11. New frontiers to explore
Social media analysis
• On web – pick hashtag
• New project Internals from other sources
Import!
• Map shows you where tweets originate from
• Form allows you to see tweet type, number of
retweets – learn who are the influencers in the
chat!
• Links to full articles retweeted in one place
• Ability to collect, in first search #ebola, 18,000
tweets!!
• Just the tip of the iceberg with what you can do!
12. Takeaways from the NVivo experience
• When done correctly, qualitative analysis can provide valuable
insight into health challenges to influence programming
• NVivo software allows the researcher/practitioner to have a more
efficient visualization of the data collected
• People have their own way of internalizing/comprehending data –
NVivo tools enable multiple ways of presenting the same data
• You can teach an old dog new tricks! It just takes a little time and
practice!
