Whether animals are of lower rank compared to humans or not is a debatable issue among scholars of various disciplines. However, there is no denying that they play a significant part in sustaining ecological balance on earth. The discourses in this regard play a considerable function in presenting animals in either beneficial or destructive roles. Such studies can contribute to spreading awareness regarding animals’ prominence from religious perspectives. The present study aims to examine the religious discourse concerning the ways animals are framed linguistically. For the said purpose, the Quran (the Holy book for followers of Islam) is chosen to analyze the framing technique used to portray animals concerning target words/ phrases. The identified frames are further described with reference to the ecological perspective. The content analysis technique is used to identify target words that are later used to recognize frames. The findings reveal that animals are most importantly presented in four significant frames: as beings, as benefactors, as ornaments, and as celestial signs. These frames further reflect how animals are represented in various roles, from food sources to valuable possession and from war tools to Godly signs. The beneficial story of animals’ existence as narrated in the Quran provides a comprehensive overview of their role in bio-network.

El artículo propone una aproximación a la técnica del análisis de contenido a través de un ejercicio práctico ejemplificado en Alfonso VI, y cómo el rey fue retratado en el discurso cronístico de León y Castilla entre los siglos XII y XIII, teniendo presente que las crónicas de este periodo son la materialización de un discurso político y religioso destinado a exaltar al rey y su descendencia a través de la exposición de determinadas características. Con dicho objetivo los cronistas construyeron una imagen del soberano mediante el uso y reiteración de una serie de tópicos conceptuales, que convertían al rey en un modelo ejemplar para sus sucesores. Dichos tópicos pueden ser identificados, clasificados, contextualizados y analizados mediante la aplicación del análisis de contenido, es decir, la sistematización de los principales conceptos rastreables en las fuentes, con el fin de identificar variaciones o continuidades en la evolución del lenguaje y discurso cronístico para facilitar el estudio de los mismos en su contexto temporal.Analysis of content as a proposal for studying medieval chronicles: Practical application in the figure of Alfonso VI at 12th and 13th Centuries’ chroniclesAbstractThe article approaches to the content analysis technique through a practice exercise exemplified on Alfonso VI, and how the king was illustrated in the chronic discourse by León and Castilla between 12th and 13th Centuries, having in consideration that chronicles of that period are a materialization of the political and religious discourse aimed to exalt the King and his descendants through exposing particular characteristics. To that end, chroniclers built an image of the Monarch using and reiterating several conceptual subjects converting the king into a role model for their successors. Such subjects can be identified, classified, contextualized and analyzed through the application of content analysis meaning the systematization of main traceable concepts in order to identify variations or continuities in the language evolution and the chronic discourse with the purpose to facilitate the study of those topics in their temporary context.Keywords: Content analysis, chronicles, methodology, Alfonso VIA análise de conteúdo como proposta para o estudo da cronística medieval: Sua aplicação prática na figura de Alfonso VI nas crônicas dos séculos XII e XIIIResumoO artigo propõe uma aproximação à técnica da análise de conteúdos através de um exercício prático exemplificado em Alfonso VI e como o rei foi retratado no discurso cronístico de Leão e Castela entre os séculos XII e XIII, tendo presente que as crônicas de este período são a materialização de um discurso político e religioso destinado a exaltar o rei e sua descendência através da exposição de determinadas caraterísticas.

Suicide travel, in which potential suicide candidates visit certain destinations to perform physician-assisted suicide (PAS), is an emerging topic in tourism. Despite noted discrepancies between suicide travel and traditional definitions of tourism, PAS practices in tourism have gained the attention of scholars and practitioners. This type of travel is inherently complex, and its segmentation remains ambiguous. This study examines a sample of PAS-related videos and viewer comments to identify relevant travel segments. Based on two rounds of thematic content analysis, the resultant segmentation offers a preliminary perspective on this emerging market. Theoretically, this study is among the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of PAS practices in tourism in terms of specific target groups. Practically, the findings offer novel insight for industry practitioners and policy makers.

Internationalization in higher education seems to be an unavoidable process, albeit temporarily limited by the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease of 2019) pandemic. Specifically, internationalization of the curriculum in the context of higher education is a dimension of this internationalization that is less valued in published studies. This paper, through critical reflection, sought to contribute to a deeper understanding of internationalization of the curriculum in higher education. The methodology used consisted of a bibliographic search in international databases, and the selected documents were analyzed using the content analysis technique. This analysis allowed concluding that internationalization of the curriculum in higher education is a complex process and involves several actors, with various challenges to be considered. For this process to be successful, it involves the ability to be attentive to the cultural multiplicity that will be experienced in classes where this internationalization of the curriculum exists.

The purpose of this study is the content analysis of children’s stories based on the components of aggression. Participants are 66 elementary school students (16 girls and 50 boys) selected from fourth and fifth grades, using the Relational and Overt Aggression Questionnaire; completed by the teachers. Draw a Story Test (Silver, 2005) is administered to select aggressive children who narrates stories based on their drawn pictures in response to DAS pictures. DAS Test consists of a series of figures which children respond by drawing a picture and telling a story related to the picture. This provides us with the information about their self image and emotional content. After deciding the components of aggression based on theories of Crick et al. (1997), and Crick and Dodge (1996), the stories are analyzed using the quantitative content analysis technique. The results reveals that the narrated stories of aggressive children have engagement ratio of 1.62, which means more than 50% of children showed aggressive components. The highest frequency of aggression in their stories is related to murdering, killing and hurting others.

The aim of this article is to describe the relationship between theoretical knowledge management assumptions and knowledge management process involving Models and Awards for Management Excellence in Latin America.  Relevant literature was reviewed by carrying out a survey based on document analysis involving requirement of models and awards for excellence in management in the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. This research study used qualitative data-collecting methods by means of a content analysis technique, carried out between February 2013 and December 2014.  The corpus was treated by using a content analysis technique, where categories of analysis were codified based on criteria, items and management process requirements of the models investigated. The findings show that the mains theoretical knowledge management assumptions are present, in some degree, in models of management excellence in Latin America, but highlight the fact that these models present different structure and maturity levels, some of which combine knowledge management with strategic perspectives and innovation management. This survey made it possible to produce consistent analyses based on pre-existing models that consider knowledge management as the basis of organization.
