This paper examines the findings of a national study on professional preparation in sport management. A review of literature revealed a lack of research and a need for more studies that clearly define the current status and future direction for sport management curriculums. Through a content analysis approach, this study investigated 147 academic institutions offering sport management curriculums. Specifically, the examined philosophical and primary emphasis of each curriculum, internship requirements, employment opportunities, sport management courses and curriculum resources. Implications of the results are discussed along with recommendations for further study involving professional preparation in sport management.

According to the Ministry of Health the number of nurse graduates per year is 46,865 people, the annual national need is 24,825, and the excess production of nurses is 11,067-22,060 per year. The increase in educational institutions has an impact on increasing graduates, nursing students are the generation of nurses, so this situation is very worrying to the nursing profession. The purpose of this study was to study the perceptions of Diploma 3 Nursing students at Bethesda Yakkum Yogyakarta Nursing School about the influence of nurses' workforce escalation. This study uses a Qualitative Design with a Phenomenology approach. The instruments used were human instruments with interview guidelines. The population was 61 Diploma 3 Nursing students in semester VI, samples were taken by purposive sampling of 5 participants. The analysis used is content analysis, and the triangulation technique used is source triangulation. This study shows students know the current condition of nurses, an increase in nurses makes students disappointed with the lecture process that has been undertaken, educational institutions increase so that graduates increase, but absorption is not optimal. This situation will result in unemployed nurses and nurses not working according to the profession. The hope of government students is to open up employment opportunities so nurses can contribute to the country in health development. Although students know about the escalation of nurses, but students are optimistic, confident in their abilities, will be entrepreneurial in health, and knowledge can be beneficial to the surrounding. Keywords: Nursing Students, Nurse Personnel, Nurse Escalation

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.

Abstract. Background: Information on methods of suicide is available online, and access to information on methods of suicide appears to contribute to a small but significant proportion of suicides. There is limited documentation of how methods of suicide are being profiled, as well as what content exists in other languages than English. Aim: We aimed to analyze and compare how methods of suicide are profiled on Danish and English-language websites. Method: We applied a categorization and content analysis of websites describing methods of suicide. Sites were retrieved by applying widely used Danish and English-language search terms. Results: A total of 136 English-language websites and 106 Danish-language websites were included for analysis. Websites were more often categorized as prevention or support sites, academic or policy sites, and against suicide sites than dedicated suicide sites (i.e., pro-suicide sites), or information sites. However, information on methods of suicide was available, and 20.1% and 8.9% of the English and Danish-language sites, respectively, suggested that a particular method of suicide was quick, easy, painless, or certain to result in death. Limitations: Only one author coded and analyzed all websites. A further operationalization of the content analysis checklist is warranted to increase reliability. Conclusion: The websites primarily had a prevention or anti-suicide focus, but information on methods of suicide was available, requiring an increased focus on how to diminish the negative effects of harmful online content.

Abstract. Background: Little is known about presenting problems of primary posters (i.e., posters opening the thread) and their responders in nonprofessional against-suicide and pro-suicide message boards. Aims: We aimed to compare problems described in suicide message boards between different types of users (primary posters and respondents) and between against-suicide, neutral, and pro-suicide message boards. Method: In all, 1,182 archival threads with 20,499 individual postings from seven nonprofessional suicide message boards supporting an against-suicide, neutral, or pro-suicide attitude were randomly selected. Problems mentioned by primary posters and their respondents were coded with content analysis. Differences between pro-suicide, neutral, and against suicide boards, as well as correlations between primary posters and respondents, were calculated. Results: Interpersonal problems were most frequently mentioned by primary posters in against-suicide threads (40.9%) and less frequently in pro-suicide threads (11.8%; p < .001). In pro-suicide boards, the most frequent stressors were suicide method-related (e.g., how to identify a safe method: 26.2% vs. 2.5% in against-suicide boards, p < .001). Primary posters resembled respondents in terms of presenting problems in pro-suicide boards, but not in against-suicide boards. Limitations: Only self-reported problems were assessed. Conclusion: The results confirm a stronger focus on death than on life among users in pro-suicide message boards, and posters with similar problems meet in pro-suicide boards. The posters appear to clearly emphasize social strains over psychiatric problems compared with some professional settings.

Abstract. Content analysis is a late and contentious addition to the Rorschach canon. The determinants have ruled. Hermann Rorschach was at best, ambivalent about content analysis, focusing on the perceptual aspects of the process. Rorschachers have been not been conTENT about CONtent. The literature on the pros and cons and the how-to of content analysis is reviewed chronologically, concluding with eight issues and objections that have left Rorschach practitioners malcontent with content. Hoping to help practitioners improve the analysis of Rorschach content, ten suggestions, often with examples, are offered, these “hints” affecting both conceptualization and practice. A case fragment is appended to the review to host the above suggestions and to illustrate the (likely) less frequent “active evocation” of content to further the analysis.
