First steps in qualitative data analysis: transcribing

First steps in qualitative data analysis: transcribing.

Qualitative research in primary care deepens understanding of phenomena such as health, illness and health care encounters. Many qualitative studies collect audio or video data (e.g. recordings of interviews, focus groups or talk in consultation), and these are usually transcribed into written form for closer study. Transcribing appears to be a straightforward technical task, but in fact involv...

First Steps in Formalising Qualitative Systems Dynamics

System dynamics techniques, such as influence diagrams, are used to model poorly understood systems. Qualitative analysis of these models is often extremely vague. More rigorous analysis requires quantitative simulation and can only occur after an additional conversion to a ‘stock and flow’ model. In this paper we present some augmentations to influence diagrams that allow analysis and simulati...

Transcribing Spacetime Data into Matrices

In certain supergravity backgrounds, D0 branes tend to polarize into higher dimensional Dp branes. We study this phenomenon in some generality from the perspective of a local inertial observer and explore polarization effects resulting from tidal-like forces. We find classically stable D2 brane droplets made of D0 branes and we are led to a local formulation of the UV-IR correspondence. A geome...
