This research examines individual voluntary giving as an integrative practice. Our research speaks to the new funding challenges traversing the British arts sector. Historically reliant on government funds, increasingly regional non-profit arts organisations must diversify their income sources and target a range of voluntary givers. By drawing on practice theories and interpretive qualitative data, we illuminate how giving understandings, procedures and engagements interconnect and interact, coming together in ways that lead to specific giving choices that prioritise cause-based charities over the arts. In doing so, we make two original contributions towards existing sociological research on voluntary giving. First, we transform and broaden the scope of empirical research by conceptualising voluntary giving as an integrative practice. Second, we offer a lens through which to investigate and explicate shared social processes, mechanisms and acts that traverse structures and individuals, co-construing and reproducing voluntary giving patterns.

<p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>Th</em><em>e high number of divorce in every year creates concern toward the children’s rights whose have parents divorce. Therefore, the writers did the research in order to identify the legal protection of children’s rights post parents divorce either for rights to rearing and rights to basic necessities. The research is involved into sociological research. The primary data was obtained through interview and the secondary data was coming from literature study from judge’s verdict in District court of Surakarta (either for general District court or religion District court). Technical analysis uses qualitative data specially using deductive method. This research shows that most of all the verdicts (judge’s decision), more than 75%, does not have any substantial decision regarding rights to rearing and rights to basic necessities (in both district court-general District court and religion District court). Based on this result, it means that the legal protection for the children’s who experience parents divorce is at very minimum legal protection for their rights.  The differences of legal protection, research by the writers between both district court, are in religion District court, the underwriter for rearing is given to the mother if the children are below 12 years old (mumayiz) and beyond 12 years old, the children could choose the underwriter is (until he or she is in the mature age-21 years old). Meanwhile, in general District court, there are no clauses regarding what and who are the underwriter, there is no mumayiz term including the differences uses of mature age between 18 years old or 21 years old.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>divorce, rights to rearing, rights to basic necessities, age limit.</em></p><p align="center"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Semakin tingginya angka perceraian setiap tahunmemunculkan keprihatinan penulis tentang nasib anak- anak yang orangtuanya mengalami perceraian.Oleh karena itu penulis melakukan penelitian dengan tujuanmengidentifikasi perlindungan hukum terhadap hak-hak anak pasca perceraian kedua orangtuanya baik hak asuh maupun hak nafkah anak.

This article is written to accompany and respond to the articles that form the special issue of Sociological Research Online on ‘Re-using qualitative data’. It argues that the articles are a welcome contribution, because they help to move the debate beyond moralistic and polarised positions, to demonstrate instead what sociologists can achieve by ‘re-using’ qualitative data. The article argues for an investigative epistemology and investigative practices to guide qualitative data use and ‘re-use’, and suggests that this is particularly important in the current social research climate.

Starting from the concept of urban identity, defined as a set of unique features characterizing a city/town that set it apart from others and ensure its continuous recognizability, the paper takes the example of six urban centers in Serbia (Kragujevac, Sabac, Uzice, Novi Pazar, Sombor and Zrenjanin) to examine the degree of consensus or divergence concerning these identities. Three dimensions i.e three kinds of tension that can arise within, or in relation to, the established image of the locality are singled out: 1) Crystallization: is a given urban identity clearly embodied in a single symbol, and how coherent are the meanings of the constituent symbolic elements? 2) Contention: is the city image disputed among various social groups within its population? 3) Comparisons: how do these urban identities relate to other urban centers and their respective identities? The analysis is based on quantitative and qualitative data collected during 2013 and 2014 within the project? Characteristics of Territorial Capital in Serbia? of the Institute for Sociological Research, Faculty of Philosophy, Belgrade.

The paper analyzes the identities of four cities/towns in Serbia: Kragujevac, Novi Pazar, Sabac and Uzice, as seen by their inhabitants and other local actors. The identity of a city is defined as a set of unique features ensuring its continuous recognizability and distinguishing it from any other city. The analysis is based on quantitative and qualitative data collected in 2013 within the project ?Characteristics of Territorial Capital in Serbia? of the Institute for Sociological Research, Faculty of Philosophy, Belgrade. The views of citizens are documented by representative survey data (Kragujevac N=379, Novi Pazar N=299, Sabac N=346 and Uzice N=322), and those of other actors by semi-structured interviews (Kragujevac N=15, Novi Pazar N=14, Sabac N=12 and Uzice N=17).

This article is located within sociological research exploring the subjective experiences and emotional consequences of social mobility in the UK. It adds to recent attempts to examine the role of everyday cultural practices in making sense of journeys of upward mobility. The article draws on these theoretical advancements and applies them to a case study of everyday gambling practices using qualitative data ( N = 24) collected from the Mass Observation Archive. The article represents one of the first attempts to examine the connections between social mobility and gambling. It draws on sociological research that explores the cultural as well as the economic underpinnings of social mobility and connects this to research examining the inter-relationships between gambling and class. By doing so, it aims to present a novel theoretical approach to the study of gambling as everyday consumer practice; one which can be understood alongside broader cultural and structural inequalities of class.

Currently, there is scant sociological research on everyday routines within sport and also upon other routines which make sporting routines themselves possible. This article adds to that very small literature, illustrating how movement between the contexts of paid employment, sport, and home is habitually accomplished. Utilizing qualitative data from a collaborative autoethnography on distance running, a case study of the routines of getting ready for, doing, and leaving daily training sessions is portrayed. The ensuing narrative depicts the cognitive and corporeal routines, which effect the transformations necessary to accomplish daily distance running.

Purpose This study used a mixed-methods design to assess changes in students' cultural awareness during and following a short-term study abroad. Method Thirty-six undergraduate and graduate students participated in a 2-week study abroad to England during the summers of 2016 and 2017. Quantitative data were collected using standardized self-report measures administered prior to departure and after returning to the United States and were analyzed using paired-samples t tests. Qualitative data were collected in the form of daily journal reflections during the trip and interviews after returning to the United States and analyzed using phenomenological methods. Results No statistically significant changes were evident on any standardized self-report measures once corrections for multiple t tests were applied. In addition, a ceiling effect was found on one measure. On the qualitative measures, themes from student transcripts included increased global awareness and a sense of personal growth. Conclusions Measuring cultural awareness poses many challenges. One is that social desirability bias may influence responses. A second is that current measures of cultural competence may exhibit ceiling or floor effects. Analysis of qualitative data may be more useful in examining effects of participation in a short-term study abroad, which appears to result in decreased ethnocentrism and increased global awareness in communication sciences and disorders students. Future work may wish to consider the long-term effects of participation in a study abroad for emerging professionals in the field.

Abstract. Background: Few investigations of patient perceptions of suicide prevention interventions exist, limiting our understanding of the processes and components of treatment that may be engaging and effective for high suicide-risk patients. Aims: Building on promising quantitative data that showed that adjunct mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to prevent suicidal behavior (MBCT-S) reduced suicidal thinking and depression among high suicide-risk patients, we subjected MBCT-S to qualitative inspection by patient participants. Method: Data were provided by 15 patients who completed MBCT-S during a focus group and/or via a survey. Qualitative data were coded using thematic analysis. Themes were summarized using descriptive analysis. Results: Most patients viewed the intervention as acceptable and feasible. Patients attributed MBCT-S treatment engagement and clinical improvement to improved emotion regulation. A minority of patients indicated that factors related to the group treatment modality were helpful. A small percentage of patients found that aspects of the treatment increased emotional distress and triggered suicidal thinking. These experiences, however, were described as fleeting and were not linked to suicidal behavior. Limitations: The sample size was small. Conclusion: Information gathered from this study may assist in refining MBCT-S and treatments to prevent suicidal behavior among high suicide-risk patients generally.
