TL;DR: The findings indicate a strong desire among pet owners for technology that has little scientific justification, whilst experts caution that the use of technology to augment human- animal communication has the potential to disimprove animal welfare, undermine human-animal bonds, and create human-human conflicts.
Abstract: There is growing interest in technology that quantifies aspects of our lives. This paper draws on critical practice and speculative design to explore, question and problematise the ultimate consequences of such technology using the quantification of companion animals (pets) as a case study. We apply the concept of "moving upstream" to study such technology and use a qualitative research approach in which both pet owners, and animal behavioural experts, were presented with, and asked to discuss, speculative designs for pet quantification applications, the design of which were extrapolated from contemporary trends. Our findings indicate a strong desire among pet owners for technology that has little scientific justification, whilst our experts caution that the use of technology to augment human-animal communication has the potential to disimprove animal welfare, undermine human-animal bonds, and create human-human conflicts. Our discussion informs wider debates regarding quantification technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment with control, compost only, biochar only, and a mixed compost-biochar application (co-composted and only mixed) at low and high application rates (9 −70 t ha−1) in southern Germany was established, and surface and subsurface (10−30 cm) soil samples were analyzed for pH, microbial biomass carbon (Cmic), water holding capacity (WHC), and cation exchange capacity (CEC).

TL;DR: In this paper, the philosophical issues underpinning the quantitative-qualitative divide in educational research are examined, and three types of argument which support a resolution are considered: pragmatism, false duality and warranty through triangulation.
Abstract: The philosophical issues underpinning the quantitative–qualitative divide in educational research are examined. Three types of argument which support a resolution are considered: pragmatism, false duality and warranty through triangulation. In addition a number of proposed strategies—alignment, sequencing, translation and triangulation—are critically assessed. The article concludes by suggesting that many of these ways of reconciling quantitative and qualitative methods and approaches are still deficient in relation to the development of an overarching and correct view of ontological and epistemological matters, and that critical realism offers a more coherent solution, where the reconciliation occurs at the ontological level.
