Sintesi	Longitudinal Straussian Grounded Theory applies the systematic coding procedures of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory — open, axial, and selective coding — to data gathered across multiple time points. Rather than producing a static snapshot of a social phenomenon, it tracks how processes, identities, or conditions evolve, generating a substantive theory grounded in change over time. It is particularly powerful for studying social processes that unfold across months or years.	Case study research is a qualitative research design that investigates a specific phenomenon, individual, group, organisation, or event in depth within its real-world context. Systematised by Robert K. Yin in 1984, it supports single-case and multiple-case designs and draws on multiple data sources — interviews, observation, documents, and artefacts — to build a rich, contextualised account of a bounded unit.
