This paper considers three different projects that have used Twitter to track racist language: 1) Racist Tweets in Canada (the author’s original work); 2) Anti-social media (a 2014 study by U.K. think tank DEMOS); and, 3) The Geography of Hate Map (created by researchers at Humboldt University) in order to showcase the ability to track racism online using Twitter. As each of these projects collected racist language on Twitter using very different methods, a discussion of each data collection method used as well as the strengths and challenges of each method is provided. More importantly, however, this paper highlights why Twitter is an important data collection tool for researchers interested in studying race and racism.

The Post-It® procedure: a meaningful and manageable interview method The interview is one of the most important data collection instruments that used in qualitative research methods. However, doing an interview and using the data correctly is less straightforward than it may seem. Too often, especially while doing interpretative-descriptive research, during the phase of analysis important questions surface with regard to the validity of the instrument and the gathered data. At that stage, such questions sometimes prove difficult to resolve. The Post-It interview method is an alternative way of interviewing that tackles these questions by giving more structure to the interview beforehand. In addition, it offers the opportunity to do the so-called ‘member check’ during the interview itself. This leads to an interview procedure that is at the same time more meaningful to interviewer and interviewee, and more feasible to carry out. This article describes the proposed procedure and discusses some preliminary experiences in using the method.

This study aims to describe the principles of nationalism in the Jprut novel by Putu Wijaya. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data source in this research is Jprut's novel by Putu Wijaya. Data collection techniques in this research are done by reading and taking notes and analyze techniques. The reading technique is related to reading and understanding the contents of the novel, while the writing technique is used to record important data or information related to the values of nationalism contained in Jprut's novel by Putu Wijaya. The results of this study indicate four principles of nationalism from the five existing principles. First, the aspect of unity described in the spirit of mutual cooperation delivered by Bung Karno by the main character. The aspect of independence described by the main character in freedom of speech. The aspect of equality illustrated by the anger of local residents when the main character's house flew the flag upside down, and the last is the aspect of personality that is shown by the attitude of the main character that is different from other residents.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The fieldwork is the most important data collection way for social sciences to analyze the society. However, conducting fieldwork bears physical, psychological, social, political, ethical or religious difficulties. Often a few of them, sometimes all of them may occur during a research. Many young researchers hear these difficulties only superficially and step the field without sufficient knowledge of what they encounter. This study examines the challenges of doing a fieldwork on religion. A significant part of the experienced difficulties constitute subjective judgments. However, experiencing similar difficulties by many researchers convert subjective judgments into objective facts. This study exams 100 M.A. theses and dissertations in the field of sociology of religion, and by basing on them, depicts difficulties of doing fieldwork. The study concludes that many people do not believe confidentiality and anonymity of fieldworks; therefore, they do not want to participate surveys and interviews or even if they participate, they do not reply every question. </p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Alan araştırmaları, sosyal bilimlerde toplumu analiz etmenin en önemli yapı taşını oluşturmaktadır. Ampirik veriler, akademik araştırmalar için oldukça önemli olmakla birlikte elde edilmeleri de bir o kadar zahmetlidir. Bu verilerin toplanması az veya çok fiziksel, psikolojik, sosyal, siyasi, etik veya dini zorluklardan çoğu zaman birkaçını bazen de hepsini barındırır. Birçok genç araştırmacı bu zorlukları yüzeysel olarak duymakta fakat tecrübe etmediği için zorluk derecesini kestiremeden alana inmektedir. Bu çalışma, din konusunda alan araştırması yaparken karşılaşılan zorlukları incelemektedir. Alanda yaşanan zorlukların önemli bir kısmı öznel yargılara dayanmaktadır. Ama benzer tecrübelerin birçok kişi tarafından yaşanması öznel yargıları nesnel gerçeklere çevirmektedir. Araştırmamızda, Din Sosyolojisi alanında yazılmış 100 farklı tez incelenmiş ve bunlar üzerinden alan araştırması sırasında karşılaşılan güçlükler resmedilmiştir. Çalışma, alana yeni giren genç araştırmacılara ışık tutacak ve kendilerini ileride karşılaşacakları zorluklara karşı hazırlayacaktır. Ayrıca alan araştırmalarında etik kodlar önemli bir yer tuttuğu için makalenin teorik kısmında etik kural ve kurulların oluşum tarihi de incelenmiştir. Araştırmamız göstermektedir ki alan araştırmalarında karşılaşılan sorunların birçoğu katılımcının araştırma ve araştırmacıya karşı duyduğu güven probleminden kaynaklanmaktadır. Birçok kişi kimliklerinin gizli kalacağını düşünmemekte ve bu sebeple araştırmaya katılmamakta veya katılsa bile kendince kritik öneme sahip sorulara cevap vermemeyi tercih etmektedir. </p>

The development of the hydration stages for electron microscopes has opened up the application of electron diffraction in the study of biological membranes. Membrane specimen can now be observed without the artifacts introduced during drying, fixation and staining. The advantages of the electron diffraction technique, such as the abilities to observe small areas and thin specimens, to image and to screen impurities, to vary the camera length, and to reduce data collection time are fully utilized. Here we report our pioneering work in this area.
