Thematic Analysis:
This thematic analysis is an examination of interview data that was conducted as part of talking to various people from a range of different backgrounds regarding their experiences. The interviewer was basically trying to analyze how idleness contributes to lack of physical exercise and drug abuse among the youth. In this interview, the interviewer explores whether individuals who engage in minimal physical exercise understand the importance of exercising and how it eventually contributes to drug abuse. Based on the resultant drug abuse behavior, the interviewer also analyzes whether these people understand the dangers of using such drugs and how it leads them to improper sexual behaviors. As part of the examination, the contribution of improper sexual behaviors to sexually transmitted diseases through involvement with multiple partners is also discussed. Generally, lack of employment and idleness contributes to a higher rate of lack of physical exercise which in turn results…...

thematic analysis of literature in order to influence of transformational leadership on organizational outcome. The data is identified from relevant literature on organizational behavior and then used in the creation of a more coherent picture. ecommendations and conclusion is then presented on the benefits of transformational leaders to various organizations.
The concept of transformational leadership has been suggested to lead to an improvement in the level of organizational outcomes (Tucker & ussell, 2004). The work of Bass (1994) indicates that transformational leadership comprises of four main elements. That is; individualized consideration, idealized influence, inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation. In this paper, we investigate if indeed transformational leadership enhances the level of organizational outcomes.

Security Study
Travel and tourism are major industries in European countries such as Greece. The hotel industry is dedicated to making the accommodations for their patrons as enjoyable as possible. This means ensuring that hotel guests, visitors, and staff have a safe and secure environment. It is for this reason that many of the larger hotel chains have their own private security personnel who are entrusted to maintain the safety of the hotel grounds and immediate area surrounding hotel. There a delicate balance between maintain hotel security for tourists, having the daily operations of the hotel run smoothly, and keeping security services in the background but ye at the same time effective and visible. Maintaining this balance between effectiveness and suitableness is not easy. The current study interviewed Greek15 hotel employees, either hotel security personnel or hotel managers, regarding their opinions on major issues related to the security of their hotel…...

thematic analysis and content analysis. More specifically, themes were identified and clustered into categories. Content analysis was then conducted to deconstruct the observations made. Thematic analysis is a common data analysis technique in qualitative research. The technique essentially involves identifying themes and patterns within a set of data and grouping the themes into categories (Bryman, 2008). Thematic analysis is advantageous as it allows the researcher flexibility in data analysis. In addition, the researcher is able to go beyond individual experiences. Nonetheless, there could be a number of limitations. For instance, the researcher may miss some nuances. In the original research in Agostinho's (2004) article, for instance, it is possible that the researcher missed some nuances relating to the use of e-learning in the higher education setting. The analysis involved not only thematic analysis, but also content analysis. This can be viewed as one of the major strengths of the…...

Destructiveness of War in "The Things They Carried" and "Slaughterhouse Five"
Summary
“The Things They Carried” is a series of stories in which the narrator Tim O’Brien describes the experience of soldiers in the war. The term denotes the things that the soldiers came with to war. Some of the things are intangible such as fear and guilt while others are physical things such as M-16 rifles, morphine, and matches among others. When Lavender is shot during the war, Lieutenant Cross feels guilty for causing his death (O’Brien 56). However, he destructs himself from guilt by thinking about his old crush Martha. The story “On the Rainy River,” recounts the events that led the narrator to the Vietnam War. The story of “The Dentist” gives the story of Lemon a soldier who fainted during the regular military dental check-up and insisted that a proper tooth had to be removed to save his…...
Thematic Error
Qualitative esearch
According to Agostinho (2005), educational research which focuses on the efficacy of e-learning classes has lagged behind the implementation of this teaching approach and therefore a great need exists in this area. Although the integral use of computers and software in e-learning courses renders them ideally suited for quantitative research approaches, Agostinho argues that qualitative or naturalistic forms of investigation can play an important role in e-learning research as well. For example, qualitative research could provide details about the experience of online learning environments from the perspective of students and teachers, thus generating ideas on how to promote innovation that enhances e-learning efficacy.
Towards the goal of providing a deeper understanding of the value that qualitative research can offer to e-learning research, Agostinho (2005) analyzed an e-learning study in terms of its methodological structure using an intrinsic case study approach (Creswell, Hanson, Plano, and Morales, 2007, p. 247).

Thematic Comparison: Divine Intervention in Homer & Virgil
Both works decently portray the horrors of warfare, and (albeit it in a reverent fashion) place the blame for this horror soundly at the feet of the gods. However while in Homer this intervention is largely capricious and relatively unmotivated, in Virgil's work it takes on a more motivated and historical turn in which the gods may actually be seen as working to some form of higher end.
Part of the difference between these two takes on divine interference relates to the purpose of the two works. Homer's epic, so far as can be told, was designed to educate and amuse and perhaps to make a statement about the meaning of warfare and deity. However, it was not designed so much to create a national myth of identity. The Greeks and the Trojans they faced were more or less of the same culture and…...
Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
The TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) has long been used to assist psychoanalysts elicit fantasy material from their patients (Morgan & Murray, 1935). According to Belleck and Murray (1973), the TAT was designed to bring forth interpretations by subject of social situations. Stories and pictures reveal some of the dominant drives, emotions, sentiments, conflicts, and complexes of a personality. The original cards used in the test were drawn or painted in color (Morge, 1995), but over time and much use, they became more and more achromatic. This achromatic appearances of the cards has caused many to speculate about their validity, especially, in patients suffering from depression. The question being asked by some researchers was, "would the achromatic appearance of the cards cause a depressed story whether or not the subject was depressed?

Students on the sidelines (collections of "aborigines" and "settlers") will be encouraged to observe the interaction and critique the leaders when they digress from historical accuracy, when they go out of character, and when they do not like what their leader is doing. This, we hope, will open better and livelier discourse among students.
At the close of each day, conclusions will be drawn, including students' answers to the question "What would life be like today here in Australia if this was what actually happened in the nation's early days?"
The instructor will refrain as much as possible from lecturing throughout this process within the experimental classrooms, instead interacting with the role players and student observers in much the same way as the students, but only when deemed necessary. However, when there are impasses, the instructor will ask probing questions to move the process along. That is, he or she will function…...
Based on the method the researcher use to conduct analysis, the data analysis presented is appropriate because the researcher use combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods in the data analysis.
Interpretation of esults
The interpretation of results is critical in the research studies. Based on the objective of the study, the researchers have been able to draw a significant correlation between research results and research aim and objectives. esearchers emerge the total combination of 2,991 themes to evaluate the opinion of students towards their tutors. The findings are presented in meta-theme and four meta-themes as being revealed in table 2.

CONCEPTUAL FAMEWOK Conceptual FrameworkThe selected study sought to identify the effect of nutritional counselling and oncological nursing care on the health outcomes of colorectal cancer patients (eiter et al., 2020). The assessed health outcomes were discharge rates, nutritional behaviour, and side effects management. The study divided participants into a control group and two subgroups of the intervention group. The control group received usual care characterized by unsystematic nutrition counselling and no nurse counselling. The first intervention group received systematic in and out patient nutritional counselling and in patient only oncology nurse counselling. The second intervention group received systematic nutritional counselling coupled with in and outpatient oncology nurse counselling. The findings showed that patients receiving in and outpatient nurse counselling as well as systematic nutritional counselling dealt better with treatment side effects, were better at following dieticians advice and were better placed to gauge food intolerance. This text discusses the conceptual…...

Qualitative thematic and content analyses represent two widely utilized nursing data analysis techniques. However, no explicit boundaries have been identified between them. That is, researchers utilize them interchangeably and, apparently, find it hard to choose one of the two. In this regard, Vaismoradi's paper explains and deliberates on the borders between qualitative thematic and content analyses, presenting implications for improving the uniformity between information analysis techniques and related researches' purpose. The discussion paper comprises of a logical outline and examination of thematic and content analyses' objectives, definitions, philosophical context, data acquisition and analysis, also dealing with their methodological nuances.
With respect to study setting, this qualitative study doesn't afford any scope for discussions on sample attributes and size. The researcher has founded it on thematic and content analyses concepts. Content analysis aims at describing document content features by studying the speaker, the target audience, and the intended and actual…...
