![]() Both can be used “inductively” as well as”deductively”. Of course, both programs are not as limited as it may seem. Therefore, it is set out to find patterns within a text, instead of applying a well trimmed analysis tool. Where Content Analysis usually creates a proper set of well defined categories and applies it to the text, Grounded Theory creates a vast abundance of codes during “Open Coding” and after that begins to link, merge and relate the codes to each other (called “Axial Coding”). Strauss and Corbin 2010) that works quite contrary to Qualitative Content Analysis. In this, ATLAS.ti joins forces with a method called “Grounded Theory” (e.g. For example, a document group “gender: female” can be linked to a document “Interview with Mrs P.” to identify the interviewee as a woman. However, “document groups” or “code groups” can be used as quasi-dichotomous variables for a similar purpose. In such a system “document variables” make little sense. In this ATLAS.ti creates a system of linkages between different entities (documents, codes, segments, memos etc.). A code can be defined as “being part of” another code. A text segment can be formally defined as “contradicting” another text segment. The same Code System as above, displayed in the “Network” tool of ATLAS.ti.įurther on, researchers can create semantic linkages between the different elements. “Coding” a segment here, is not putting it “into a category” but rather linking a text segment to a label (compare: Friese 2019, 192-194). Each segment that is created becomes a node in a network. In its core, ATLAS.ti is a system of nodes and relations. The analysis is usually done with a Mixed Methods approach that strongly incorporates qualitative and quantitative methods.ĪTLAS.ti on the contrary neither uses code hierarchies, nor variables. ![]() The coded segments are sorted into a tree structure built of several layers of codes and sub-codes. In sorting everything into well defined, hierarchical categories, the program joins forces with the method “Qualitative Content Analysis” ( Mayring 2015, Kuckartz 2014). MAXQDA even features its own integrated statistics modul that works as a slim and light version of SPSS (Compare: Rädiker, Kuckartz 2019, 129-131) A simple Code System in MAXQDA with three hierarchical layers displayed in MAXMaps. These document variables allow for close cooperation with many statistical programs and follow exactly the same logic. For each document individual variables can be defined. Everything is sorted into well defined categories. MAXQDA works like a classification system. While MAXQDA follows the structure of a relational data basis, ATLAS.ti is organized like a graph data base and this strongly influences the way each software is used. Differences: Table or Network logicĪlthough both basically use SQL-databases, there is a striking difference in their internal logic. The interfaces look very similar, yet strong differences lay bellow the surface. Furthermore, they count the segments and offer many options to visualize and explore the structured data. By this, they bring together segments of different documents and/or data types under one keyword (usually called: code). They belong to the group of QDAS, qualitative data analysis software, a type of software that is primarily used to structure text by manually assigning labels to individual segments (also images, audio or video are possible). Commonalities: Twins on the SurfaceĪTLAS.ti and MAXQDA are both around since the 1990s and quite prominent in qualitative sociology. Soon, I noticed major differences that had strong methodological implications. Yet strangely enough, this proved difficult to do and seemed not to make much sense. To familiarize myself with ATLAS.ti, I rebuilt the data base of my master thesis within it. As a freelancing software trainer, I was time and again asked to offer ATLAS.ti as well, so I moved on from a software I already knew well, to another one that looked very similar. However, I never noticed, how MAXQDA structured my research too. It’s core function is to structure text by segmenting it with labels. Since my master thesis ( Müller 2017), I am using MAXQDA. The implicit potentials and constrains of each (and any) software commonly drive our research because we too often follow the road that we already know best. ![]() Yet when we look under the hood, we see strong differences: one follows the logic of a relational data base and sorts everything into neat categories and the other operates like a graph data base that links different entities to form a large network. On the surface MAXQDA and ATLAS.ti seem almost identical. ![]() ![]() Kobo supplied a standard-to-micro lead in the box but not a three-pin adapter for mains charging. Page turning is quick and smooth with a refresh occurring every six pages.Īccording to Kobo, and I have no reason to doubt the figure, the unit’s battery life should give two months of use from a single charge based on 30 minutes reading a day with ComfortLight and Wi-Fi turned off. Switching from sleep mode, which displays the book cover of your current reading material, can take approximately 4 seconds. There is also an option to use a web browser which continues to be designated as a beta feature.Īlong with its comfortable fit in the hand, helped by its light weight of 180g, the Kobo Glo HD makes for an enjoyable reading experience. You can choose where you tap the screen to perform certain actions, manage your library content and decide when syncing will take place. The Kobo Glo HD allows you to customise some of its various settings. You can check out any awards gained based on your reading schedule plus access a dictionary feature. The third option of Extras offers the chance to check out your reading stats including the number of hours spent reading including the average minutes per session and how many page turns were involved. You can also make use of the Pocket app so that online articles can be saved for later reading. Books in your library can be sorted alphabetically, by title or author. In fact you can get reading material from any source, including public libraries, as long as the books belong to one of the supported format such as eBooks, EPUB, EPUB3 and PDF. ![]() You can purchase books from the Kobo online store where you will find more than 4.5 million titles made up of books, magazines, newspaper and comics or pop into one of the WH Smith’s stored running a Kobo franchise. Unlike the Kindle family of products and its walled garden approach, you have more of a choice when opting from various sources for your reading material or the type of file format with the Glo HD. A slider bar can be used to adjust the screen’s brightness with a percentage figure showing the current level. A tap in the middle of the screen will bring up options to switch between the 11 fonts supplied with the devices plus adjust the size and weight of characters and select from alignment settings. The Glo HD gives you a choice of moving between pages by either a swipe in the appropriate direction or a tap on the edge of the screen. With the Library view you will be provided with information regarding the current reading title, top 50 books, recommended title and an option to check out some of the unit’s basic features. Options are available to switch between Library, Bookstore and Extras view. The initial loading of relevant content into the unit’s Home page can be a little time consuming. When turning on the Glo HD for the first time you will need to work through a set-up procedure that includes linking to a Wi-Fi network with support for 802.11b/g/n plus setting up or accessing an existing Kobo account for any on-line purchases. Hopefully, are there is no option for use of a memory card to increase storage space, this should be enough for most people and you should be able to fit 3,000 ebooks into this space. The Glo HD is powered by a 1GHz processor and comes with 4GB of storage of which just over 3GB is available for your own personal use. This button is recessed into the body of the Glo HD which means it is sometimes difficult to be sure you have applied enough pressure until the screen shows some life as it changes from powered off or Sleep mode. The Glo HD’s only physical control is a silver power button located on the top of the unit. These marks are positioned either side of a pinhole reset option and a micro USB port for charging purposes and connecting the eReader to a computer. While reading you can rest a finger on the bezel ready to be used to activate a page turn either with a swipe or a tap at the edge of the screen.Īpart from a slightly raised Kobo logo on the bottom bezel, the front of the Glo HD is free of any decoration although there are some hard-to-distinguish marks running along the bottom of the unit. The side bezels are of a size that allows you to get a good grip of the device. This screen is encased within a body that is made up of a black plastic front and a tough black rubber dimpled back plate. The Kobo Glo HD has a 6-inch Carta E Ink HD touch screen that has a high-resolution of 1448 x 1072 pixels which works out at 300dpi. ![]() ![]() While HomeAdvisor will continue its background check program to the extent possible, these closures could prevent some background checks from being performed.

Wolffishes have particularly strong jaw muscles as they feed on creatures with solid shells like mussels, clams, and sea urchins. On detecting something entering the mouth, sensory nerves send signals to the brain, which then sends more nerve signals to the jaw muscles, telling them to contract. Essentially, the jaw is programmed to bite. "This is obviously a neuromuscular reflex, with receptors in the jaws and/or mouth cavity which register if anything (a prey, normally) is in the mouth," said Björnsson. So how did the fish manage to bite the can after being decapitated? This they bite down very hard with very sharp teeth, and they don’t let go. the contents of a bottom trawl is dumped on the deck of a trawler and the fishermen stand knee-deep in various species of fish, working on sorting and separating, an often-used routine was to stick a broom handle or similar into the mouths of the stray wolffish in the catch, so that nobody would be hurt by accidentally sticking a hand or a foot in their gaping jaws. "The wolffishes have a notorious biting reflex which is well-known by fishermen," said Björnsson. "Thus when e.g. It eats crustaceans as well as mollusks, smaller fishes, and worms. ![]() "I would most definitely think that this is a spotted wolffish ( Anarhichas minor)," Professor Björn Thrandur Björnsson, head of the fish endocrinology laboratory at the University of Gothenburg, told IFLScience.

There is now, or was lately, a log cabin on Hempstead Plains, L.I. The bark also shelters all sorts of boring insects and the boring insects make holes through the logs which admit the rain and in the end cause decay, so that the first thing to remember is to peel the logs of which you propose to build the cabin. Bark holds moisture and moisture creates decay by inviting fibrous and threadlike cousins of the toadstool to grow up on the damp wood and work their way into its substance. it is said to have been built before the town was there but there is no bark on the logs. There is a two-story log house still standing in Dayton, O. Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin is still in existence, but it was built of logs with no bark on them. It is all well enough to build our shacks and shanties and camps of logs with the bark on them, but, when one wishes to build a log cabin, one wants a house that will last.
