Carbon labels are considered a fundamental tool for reducing emissions associated with grocery products. Although the prior literature has shown that both limited motivation and understanding of carbon labels explain the effectiveness of carbon labels, knowledge regarding how to improve the label design to increase noticeability is limited. Given the limited motivation of mainstream consumers to use carbon labels, this exploratory paper proposes that the label design should trigger bottom-up (or sensory-driven) attention mechanisms. Using grounded theory for the data collection and analysis of six focus groups, this study tests six features (i.e., location, size, color, icons, a colored background or border, and textual anchors) and identifies four design criteria (i.e., vividness, incongruity, simplicity, and clarity) that may increase label noticeability. The main conclusion of this qualitative study is that carbon labels are noticed when they are perceived as a cue of hazard. Based on this finding, we propose that carbon labels could be designed as warning labels; therefore, the insights already proven in the warning label literature should be applied to carbon label design to increase its noticeability and use.

The increase of qualitative research in gerontology invites discussion of the effects of researcher positionality on data collection and analysis. Analyses of the interviewing experiences of three researchers who conducted a qualitative study of aging Asian Americans illustrate the complexities of negotiating “insider” status. Despite the interviewers’ shared panethnic status (Asian) with the participants, they experienced different levels of insider status, which were based, in part, on cultural competence related to cultural norms and practices, age hierarchies, and language. This suggests that qualitative researchers should engage in reflexive practices that consider researcher positionality in relation to research participants. Researchers need to pay attention to the possible implications of cultural competence on negotiating insider status and when gathering and analyzing data, similar to considerations of culturally relevant approaches in practical settings.

The Qur'an is a revelation that is a useful guide for believers in facing various problems of life including pandemic tribulations. Al-Quran shows guidance in accepting and eradicating the pandemic that Allah SWT has determined. Problems arise for some who claim that pandemics should be avoided through technology prevention or treatment alone. Apparently in the Qur'an provides guidance in aspects of life and religion to face the pandemic tribulations. The objective of this study focuses on formulating the Quranic guide in dealing with pandemic tribulations in terms of preparation, prevention and awareness. This qualitative study was produced by applying the method of data collection and analysis of data from Quranic verses and key interpretations. Important findings state that references to revelation cause pandemic to be encountered and eradicated by the norms of faith. Pandemic have been recorded in the Qur'an as a test against the believers and a catastrophe against the negative group among human beings. The Qur'an is also not left behind in explaining the situation of qadha pandemic which contains great wisdom. The most important conclusion is that the adherence to the Qur'an causes people to become calm and continue to strive to deal with pandemic without rejection of the demands of faith. Allah SWT must be remembered as the owner of the epidemic that has occurred over time, even though the apparent cause of some pandemics is due to habits or viruses among humans. Al-Quran al-Karim merupakan wahyu yang menjadi panduan berguna buat manusia yang beriman dalam menghadapi pelbagai permasalahan hidup termasuk tribulasi wabak. Al-Quran mengutarakan panduan dalam menerima dan menangkis wabak yang telah ditentukan Allah SWT. Permasalahan timbul bagi sesetengah pihak yang mendakwa wabak seharusnya dijauhi dengan kaedah pencegahan atau perawatan teknologi semata-mata. Ternyata dalam al-Quran menyediakan panduan dalam aspek duniawi dan ukhrawi bagi menghadapi tribulasi wabak. Objektif kajian ini memfokuskan kepada merumuskan panduan al-Quran dalam menghadapi tribulasi wabak dalam aspek persediaan, penghindaran dan kesedaran. Kajian kualitatif ini dihasilkan dengan mengaplikasikan metod pengumpulan data dan penganalisisan data daripada ayat al-Quran dan pentafsiran muktabar. Dapatan penting menyatakan bahawa rujukan terhadap wahyu menyebabkan wabak dapat dihadapi dan ditangani dengan norma keimanan. Wabak sememangnya telah dirakamkan dalam al-Quran sebagai ujian terhadap orang beriman dan bencana terhadap golongan negatif di kalangan manusia. Al-Quran juga tidak ketinggalan dalam menerangkan situasi qadha’ wabak yang mengandungi hikmah yang besar. Kesimpulan terpenting ialah sesungguhnya pegangan terhadap al-Quran menyebabkan manusia mernjadi tenang dan terus berusaha menangani wabak tanpa berlaku pemisahan terhadap tuntutan keimanan. Allah SWT wajib dingati sebagai pemegang urusan wabak yang berlaku zaman-berzaman biarpun zahir penyebab sebahagian wabak adalah disebabkan tabiat atau virus di kalangan manusia.

This is the second of two articles that together comprise an orientation and introduction to qualitative research for veterinary medical educators who may be new to research, or for those whose research experience is based on the quantitative traditions of biomedicine. In the first article ( Part 1—Principles of Qualitative Design), we explored the types of research interests and goals suited to qualitative inquiry and introduced the concepts of research paradigms and methodologies. In this second article, we move to the strategies and actions involved in conducting a qualitative study, including selection and sampling of research sites and participants, data collection and analysis. We introduce some guidelines for reporting qualitative research and explore the ways in which qualitative research is evaluated and the findings applied. Throughout, we provide illustrative examples from veterinary and human medical education and suggest useful resources for further reading. Taken together, the two articles build an understanding of qualitative research, outline how it may be conducted, and equip readers with an improved capacity to appraise its value.

Résumé : Les spécialistes de méthodologie reconnaissent que l’hypothèse est un élément déterminant dans toutes études en sciences sociales. Cependant ces derniers ne s’accordent pas sur son statut et rôle dans ces études. Pour certains son statut et son rôle consistent à la vérification de la véracité des hypothèses ou théories identifiées préalablement par le chercheur, d’autres soutiennent que l’hypothèse dans une étude qualitative se construit tout au long du processus de recherche en fonction des directions et ouvertures induites par la collecte des données. Cet article illustre à partir d’un cas, le processus de construction de l’hypothèse dans une démarche qualitative de type Grounded theory.  Ainsi il démontre que la construction de l’hypothèse de cette recherche est partie d’une hypothèse (H1) qui a émergée d’une analyse de données, puis s’est progressivement construit dans un processus itératif et circulaire au gré des orientations du couple collecte et analyse des données. Abstract : Methodologists agree that hypothesis is a determining element in all social science studies. However, they do not agree on its status and role in these studies. For some, its status and role consists in verifying the veracity of the hypothesis or theories previously identified by the researcher, others argue that the hypothesis in a qualitative study is constructed throughout the research process according to the directions and openings induced by data collection. This article illustrates, from a case, the process of constructing the hypothesis in a qualitative approach of Grounded theory type. Thus, he demonstrates that the construction of the hypothesis of this research is start of a hypothesis (H1) that emerged from a data analysis, then gradually built into an iterative and circular process according to the orientations of data collection and analysis.

This article reports on a qualitative study that focused on an EFL teacher's beliefs and her practices concerning grammar teaching. The study aimed at investigating how the teacher's beliefs could be contextualized with classroom data. In the first stage of data collection and analysis, an open questionnaire was given to the teacher. Then, as a means of contextualizing the beliefs found in the analysis of the questionnaire data, the second stage of data collection and analysis focused on episodes from the teacher's classes. The analysis of the data shows that, according to this teacher, grammar teaching should be used as a facilitative device in order to help students in their learning process. The results of this study also indicate that the teacher's beliefs are influenced by three interactive sources: cognitive, contextual and experiential.
