Reporting Process

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of the role of communication in the sustainability reporting process within Australian local councils. The study focuses on three areas; understanding and awareness levels of local councils towards sustainability, sustainability reporting methods and the importance of community engagement. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative semi-structured interview approach was adopted for this investigation. In total, 18 semi-structured interviews were conducted with senior managers across 13 local councils. Findings – Findings indicate that sustainability reporting is very much an emerging field in local government in Australia with varying levels of understanding and awareness of sustainability amongst councils. A lack of consistency in the current communication message being produced was found along with a lack of community engagement by most councils in the reporting process. Without clarity in the communication process, sustainability reporting in the local government context will continue to falter without a clear focus. Practical implications – The paper suggests the need for the local government sector to carefully consider the role of communication in an effort to provide direction on how best to discharge their sustainability accountabilities. Originality/value – Little attention has been given to the role of communication in accounting. The findings contribute to an understanding surrounding communication process issues in an effort to advance the sustainability reporting agenda within local government.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>       This study consists of the results of the research conducted with convicted female prisoners who committed crimes against the immunity and body immunity in Ankara (Sincan), İzmir (Şakran) and İstanbul (Bakırköy) women's closed prisons. The scope of the research includes women convicted of crimes against life and body immunity, who are more religious than prisoners convicted of theft, drugs etc. In this respect, the factors that lead to the criminality of women, who were convicted of murder or attempt murder, convicted of wounding offenses and who defined themselves as religious, are determined. Another aim is to demonstrate the crime and victim relationship, how convicts explain criminal actions to themselves and their surroundings and how they justify themselves. Questionnaires and semi-structured interview techniques were used as a method. In this direction, the findings obtained from the results of the questionnaire conducted with 151 women convicts were evaluated by descriptive statistical method and the results of semi-structured interviews with 8 women were included in the results. These types of explanations, included in neutralization techniques, are: commitment to values, the role of the victim, and rejection of responsibility. In the first place, the victim sees the situation as a matter of honor and explains the guilt involved with their beliefs / beliefs. Secondly, the violence (domestic problems) that is experienced is said to be the result, as in the opposite party deserves it. In the third place, the victim rejects the responsibility, indicating that the mental illness or depression is the result of suicide.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>     Bu çalışma, Ankara (Sincan), İzmir (Şakran) ve İstanbul (Bakırköy) kadın kapalı ceza infaz kurumlarında bulunan hayata ve vücut dokunulmazlığına karşı suç işlemiş hükümlü kadın mahkûmlarla yapılan araştırma sonuçlarından oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın kapsamı ise, hırsızlık, uyuşturucu vs. gibi suç türlerinden hüküm giymiş mahkûmlara kıyasla dindarlığı daha yüksek olan, hayata ve vücut dokunulmazlığına karşı suçlardan hüküm giymiş kadın mahkûmlarla sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, adam öldürme veya adam öldürmeye teşebbüs, yaralama suçlarından hüküm giymiş olup, kendilerini dindar olarak tanımlayan kadınların, suça yönelmesindeki etken faktörler ele alınmış olup; kadın mahkûmlarda suç ve mağdur ilişkisi, suç eylemini kendisine ve çevresine açıklayıp, gerekçelendirme biçimlerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem olarak anket ve yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat teknikleri beraber kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda 151 kadın mahkûma uygulanan anket sonuçlarından elde edilen bulgular, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metot ile değerlendirilmiş, ayrıca 8 kadınla yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir. Bulguların değerlendirilmesi sonucunda, hayata ve vücut dokunulmazlığına karşı suç işlemiş kadın mahkûmların karıştıkları suçu dindarlıkları içinde genellikle üç şekilde açıkladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Nötrleştirme teknikleri içinde yer alan bu açıklama tipleri, değerlere bağlılık, mağdurun rolü ve sorumluluğu reddetme şeklindedir. Birincisinde, durumu namus meselesi olarak görme ve sahip olduğu değerlerle/inançla karıştıkları suçu açıklama söz konusudur. İkincisinde, maruz kalınan şiddet (aile içi sorunlar) sonucu, karşı tarafın bunu hak etmesi olarak açıklanmaktadır. Üçüncüsü ise, akli hastalık ya da bunalım sonucu bu suça karıştığını belirterek, sorumluluğu reddetme şeklindedir.</p>

Personal Context

Health practitioners who have already undertaken a considerable amount of interviewing would consider themselves as experienced interviewers, but there are questions and issues arising from research interviews which are different from assessment and interventionist interviews. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of the health professional researcher in qualitative research with older people and to make recommendations for preparatory interviewing in methodology courses. Method: A descriptive approach was used and semi-structured interviews with a sample size of eleven New Zealand health professionals/researchers. Results: A significant theme emerging was relationships. This was further divided into three categories: establishing rapport and credibility as a researcher, developing the relationship (including managing role changes), and storytelling as a strategy to integrate the participant’s personal context with the researcher’s questions. Conclusions: The results suggest that the communication between the researcher and participant is different from that of a health interview and requires a change in perspective. While it can be time consuming and frustrating to listen to long stories about personal experiences, such story telling leads the way to establishing mutual respect. Additionally, relevant information is often woven into the fabric of these stories. A major implication is that awareness of active listening should be taught in methods courses to allow researchers to reflect on the interviews.

Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.

Studies on knowledge creation are limited in general, and there is a particular shortage of research on the topic in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the importance of SMEs for the economy and the vital role of knowledge creation in innovation, this situation is unsatisfactory. Accordingly, the purpose of our study is to increase our understanding of how SMEs create new knowledge. Data are obtained through semi-structured interviews with ten managing directors of German SMEs operating in the building and construction industry. The findings demonstrate the influence of external knowledge sources on knowledge creation activities. Even though the managing directors take advantage of different external knowledge sources, they seem to put an emphasis on informed knowledge sources. The study´s findings advance the limited body of knowledge regarding knowledge creation in SMEs.
