Our aim is to provide an understanding of the experience of women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who have made the transition to motherhood. A total of 22 mothers with IBD were recruited from around the United Kingdom. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. The central concept—Blurred Lines—offers a novel frame for understanding the transition to motherhood with IBD through identifying parallels between having IBD and becoming, and being, a mother. Parallels clustered into three main themes: Need for Readiness, Lifestyle Changes, and Monitoring Personal and Physical Development. Hence, women with IBD are in some ways well prepared for the challenges of motherhood even though, as a group, they tend to restrict their reproductive choices. We recommend health professionals initiate conversations about reproduction early and provide a multidisciplinary approach to pregnancy and IBD in which women have confidence that their ongoing treatment will be integrated successfully with their maternity care.

The wisdom of organisational leadership is adding new vistas on a continuum with enriched and applied research explorations for enhancing organisation effectiveness. It seems the golden saying ‘nothing is permanent’ seems to be very true as far as the arena of the organisational leadership is concerned in the global competitive scenario. This quote, without saying, highlights the corporate relationship of yesterday and today. There was a time when employees were treated like slaves. Today the time has changed and this changed time has also changed the leadership pattern which has evolved the concept of ‘servant leadership’. In short, this concept by Robert Greenleaf (1977) emphasized on nurturing, defending and empowering followers as the prime responsibility of a leader/ manager to pertain organisational effectiveness.
Aligning to the above, the present research paper is an honest attempt to focus the utility of the concept of ‘servant leadership’ and ‘change in employee - employer relationship’ with change in time. The extensive literature reviews followed by the interview analysis of six of the leaders-cum-managers in the corporate as well as private business organisations in the states of West Bengal and Gujarat are incorporated in the research papers. Real life interview analysis on application of servant leadership gives a glimpse of change in leadership style with change in time and importance of servant leadership in today’s competitive time.

Most of the research concerning the validity of the selection & assessment interviews has a low degree of validity, relevance, ecological validity and impact. We all have read in the course of the years the classical papers developed from 1940s on the validity of the method of selection & assessment interview. The results show regularly little validity of these selection methods – and seldom a more reliability – and the great prominence of the psychological test: in particular, aptitude and intelligence test (psychometric test), and more structured, or behavioral, interviews and behavioral Assessment Center). To be more specific, the psychometric approach and techniques result as more valid (and reliable) than the “clinical”, psychosocial and psychodynamic approach, in which the human being is viewed as a whole.
In my opinion the great part of this kind of research has little or no real and technical relevance, and no practical evidence, because of the confusion made on a central matter: the professional identity of the interviewer, or assessor.

What needs to be considered before collecting data through semi-structured interviews? How does thinking about analysis before questioning help or hinder interviewing practice? How should the strengths and weaknesses of the method be evaluated?

This thesis explores the first phase of the revision of the European Union (EU) Blue Card Directive from June 2016 to June 2017. Out of the four EU labour migration Directives, the Blue Card aims to attract highly-skilled third country nationals to the EU and grants those admitted a favourable set of rights. In the revision, the European Parliament is for the first time fully involved as a co-legislator. While in the scholarly debate little attention has been paid to the role of the European Parliament in labour migration policy-making, existing research indicates that the European Parliament seeks to strengthen labour migrants’ rights. In this context, this thesis asks to what extent the revision process offers the opportunity to strengthen Blue Card holders’ rights.
At the same time, strengthened rights for Blue Card holders inevitably result in an increase in the diverging treatment of labour migrants in the EU. In light of this ambivalence, this thesis aims to also analyse to what extend the revision of the Blue Card Directive offers the opportunity to establish a higher standard of rights for labour migrants in the EU. This analysis shall complement academic literature that questions the practice of granting labour migrants in the EU different rights, but lacks of research on the manner in which the more preferential treatment of highly-skilled labour migrants is justified by actors in the European Commission and Parliament. Addressing this gap in research, this thesis offers new insights into how involved actors from the European Commission and Parliament address Blue Card holders’ rights and the diverging treatment of labour migrants in the EU.
To achieve its analysis objective, this thesis uses a methodological triangulation approach of qualitative policy document and interview analyses.

Trolling has been one of the most talked about issue in relation to the internet in the second decade of the 21st century to date. Many people have spoken out against those who use the Internet to abuse others. It is clear that on their own, laws are not going to solve the problem of Internet abuse and datamisuse, as being tough on crime needs to be matched with being tough on the causes of crime. This paper provides an in depth interview with an Internet troller and discussion of the findings of this to provide a general framework for understanding these 'electronic message faults.' The interview with the troller makes it apparent that there are a number of similarities between the proposed anti-social personality disorder in DSM-V and flame trolling activities. An investigation into the application of the Criminal Procedure rules in United Kingdom finds a number of inconsistencies in the way the rules are followed, which it appears are causing injustices in the application of Internet trolling laws.

Der Beitrag fasst Lachen in sprachbiographischen Interviews als zentrale Positionierungsressource bei der narrativen Verarbeitung von Erlebnissen mit Migration und Mehrsprachigkeit. Die Rahmung als komische oder problematische Erzählung bestimmt, ob die interviewende Person ein Lachen teilt oder nicht. Durch geteiltes Lachen versichern sich die interviewte und die interviewende Person eines gemeinsamen Werthorizonts in Bezug auf die rekonstruierten Migrationserlebnisse. Mit Lachen bewältigen die Interagierenden zudem gesprächsorganisatorische Aufgaben im qualitativen Interview (Übergang zu fremden Gesprächsrollen, Themenbeendigung). In nur wenigen Fällen kann ein interviewerinitiiertes Lachen als Bruch der methodisch vorgegebenen Zurückhaltung durch die InterviewerInnen beschrieben werden.

Returning to two interviews with jazz lovers, the article looks at the effects of the questions asked by the survey-taker concerning the production of data, specifically about a particularly sensitive object from this point of view: taste. Looking at the relationship between the interview format and the respondent’s experience implies examining the combined effects of the parameters of the situation while staying as close as possible to the interlocution. Ultimately, the analysis allows us to reconsider the issue of imposing a conceptual framework in a research interview.

Revenant sur deux entretiens menés auprès d’amateurs de jazz, l’article s’intéresse aux effets des questions posées par l’enquêteur sur la production des données, à propos d’un objet particulièrement sensible sous ce rapport : le goût. L’intérêt pour la relation entre le format de l’entretien et l’expérience de l’enquêté implique d’examiner les effets conjugués des paramètres de la situation en restant au plus près de l’interlocution. In fine, l’analyse permet de reconsidérer la question de l’imposition de problématique dans l’entretien de recherche.

This course will advance student’s skills in the analyzing of qualitative data (e.g. interviews) by using an interpretative approach. This course will help students prepare and transform their findings into a clear and relevant overview, which forms a crucial part of carrying out PhD research.

Qualitative Interviews sind ein weit verbreitetes Forschungsinstrument für die Untersuchung subjektiver sprachbezogener Erfahrungen und Bewertungen. Die in dem vorliegenden Beitrag vorgenommenen Analysen ausgewählter sprachbiographischer Interviews aus dem DFG-Projekt "Sprachvariation in Norddeutschland" (SiN) sollen exemplarisch aufzeigen, dass es sich bei leitfadengestützten Befragungen nicht einfach um Instrumente des Abrufens von Erwerbs-und Nutzungserinnerungen handelt. Vielmehr wird sprachbezogenes Wissen aktiv und in Interaktion mit der interviewenden Person und anderen anwesenden GesprächsteilnehmerInnen konstruiert. Der Beitrag untersucht, wie Leitfaden-Fragen an den bisherigen Gesprächskontext angepasst werden, indem sie als repetitive Fragen gerahmt werden oder indem bereits etablierte Wissensbestände einbezogen werden. Ferner wird aufgezeigt, wie InterviewerInnen eine Passung zwischen den Ausführungen der Gewährspersonen und im Leitfaden vorgegebenen Antwortkategorien herstellen und wie sprachbezogene Bewertungen interaktiv zwischen ExploratorIn und Gewährsperson ausgehandelt werden.

These reflections came about during and after an interview for Global TV News  Canada. I was interviewed at very short notice on Tuesday 6 June on Waterloo Bridge, London, England by Redmond Shannon of Global TV News Canada, regarding the immediate response to the terrorist atrocity on London Bridge last Saturday night. The paper engages closely with the concepts of urban utopia and dystopia in the context of recent terror outrages in London and Manchester. (all photos by author)

Early in the morning of Sunday 4 June I began receiving text messages from friends and family regarding what appeared to be a terror attack at London Bridge and Borough Market perpetrated by religious extremist fanatics. The Riverwalk there and Borough Market are two one of my favourite spots for street photography so I know them well.
This attacks impact on the public
consciousness was amplified because it came shortly after the horrific terrorist atrocity aimed pitilessly at young people at the Manchester Arena. Unlike the 3,000 or so road traffic accident deaths in the UK each year, terror attacks always provoke an immediate response from the government, police , other public officials and high profile journalists. Physical measures have been a prominent
element of the states response with the deployment of a range of barriers, fences, railings, rings of steel, peace walls
and TV surveillance. These measures usually sit alongside a heightened security presence: armed police and army personnel. In the medium and longer term urban planning, policy and regeneration, architecture and urban design have a role to play in systematising and theorising these kinds of response. Sometimes they provoke new legislation or new security measures. Sadly, they often also provoke retaliation against communities from where the terrorists seem to originate. Once the shock and horror had begun to wear off, I began thinking about the risks inherent in everyday life in any city and especially London. It is clear that city dwellers accept a whole range of risks without giving them much thought or worry. In particular few city dwellers worry much about the risk of traffic accident, air pollution, burglary, street crime, falling debris or indeed being struck by lightning (in a park) and many more real risks. On most days of the week some of Londons eight million inhabitants will die from fatal road traffic
accidents.

Abstract (summary)

This presentation highlights principles from a germinal study that  ascertained the best practices and most effective means of interrogation during criminal investigations by joining the methods of story telling; commonly used when conveying oral history, with the methods of theme development; used in interrogations to elicit information from reticence subjects. The study sought testimonies of 8 active duty police detectives to confirm their unique and successful use of story telling during interrogation with criminal suspects. Literature review provided methods used by storytellers such as active listening; oral illustrations, and other communication techniques as a means of engaging their audiences are similar as interrogators during their sessions. The foundation of this study is that story telling is a relationship focused and rapport based methodology that is more accepting when gaining information during interrogations.

Delovanje kariernih centrov pridobiva na univerzah vse večjo vlogo. Zanimanje študentov za karierni center pa se še ni razvilo v dovoljšni meri. Opravljena raziskava prikazuje predloge za reorganizacijo področij del znotraj kariernega centra in izboljšanja obstoječe ponudbe. Prispevek vključuje kvalitativno raziskavo, znotraj katere so bili intervjuvani štirje karierni svetovalci, ki so zaposleni v kariernih centrih na univerzah v različnih državah. Na podlagi opravljene analize je bilo ugotovljeno, da imajo intervjuvani iz kariernih centrov z daljšo dobo delovanja in večjim številom zaposlenih znotraj kariernega centra bolj specializirana področja dela in ponujajo več dejavnosti za študente. Karierni svetovalci uspešno in kakovostno delovanje kariernega centra pripisujejo predvsem spletni platformi in konstantnemu stiku s študenti in delodajalci. Po mnenju intervjuvancev predstavlja dobro poznavanje vsebine študijskih programov, ki jih univerza ponuja, veliko prednost.
The work of career centres is becoming increasingly important at universities. However, students’ interest in career centres has not yet developed to a sufficient extent. The research therefore presents proposals for reorganising career centres’ areas of work and improving their existing offer. The article includes a qualitative survey in which interviews were conducted with
four career counsellors at university career centres in different countries. The analysis shows that the career centers which have been around longer and have a larger number of employees also have more specialised areas of work and provide more activities for the students. The counsellors attribute the successful and high quality performance of a career centre primarily to its online platform and to being in constant contact with both students and employers.
According to the interviewees, having a good grasp of the study programmes at the university is a great advantage.
