Qualitative Data Analysis: Technologies and Representations

The Analysis of Qualitative Study Data Using Software

The use of softwares for analyzing research data is increasing everyday. Making use of softwares specified for the analysis of qualitative data has begun since 20 years ago, and has been exposed to so many changes so far. Researchers have used the existing softwares such as word processors to facilitate the analysis practice, even before using specific softwares. Different softwares have severa...

ions are powerful means of making comparisons, but we must also remember their origins and limitations. In making comparisons, it is helpful to distinguish between two forms of relation between objects or events (cf. Sayer (1992:88).

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
