In the current digital age, data are everywhere and are continually being created, collected and otherwise captured by a range of users for a variety of applications. Curating digital content is a growing concern both for business users and academic researchers. Selecting, collecting, preserving and archiving digital assets, especially research data sets, are important steps in the research life cycle and can help expand the boundaries of research by allowing data to be reused. Creating research data sets often starts with selecting input data sources; in this age of new or “big” data, that choice set keeps expanding, thereby making it more difficult and time consuming to discover and understand the vast data landscape when beginning an empirical research project. This paper proposes an approach to make finding and learning about data easier and less time-consuming for researchers. While cognizant of the role of digital curation for research data sets, we focus on the traditional “museum” definition of curation to outline how data-oriented content curation can support research. The process of selecting, evaluating and presenting information about potential data inputs can help researchers more easily understand how certain data sets are used and better determine which data sources might be fit for their purposes. Although the paper draws on examples from economics citing U.S. data, the techniques could be used across disciplines and countries.

Conducting Research

Echo boomers or generation ME, better known as ‘Millennials’, are people whose daily activities are inseparable from the involvement of technological and information developments. The dependence of echo boomers on modern technology in every line of life is not necessarily parallel to their interest in conducting research on this subject. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study that examines the involvement of digitalization in the research of millennial generations. The data sources used in this study were German Department students consisting of students of German study programs and Chinese study programs as well as thesis works produced by students from both study programs between 2015 and 2019. The research data was obtained through interviews and documentation, and the findings data analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that there were not many studies by students involving information technology. The role of digitalization is mostly found in research on the development of learning media, a small portion of which occurs in the application of teaching materials and learning media. Keywords: digitalization, research, millenial generation

The goal of many healthcare research projects and evidence based medicine programs within healthcare organizations is to support clinical care team members by mining evidence from patient outcomes to support future treatment recommendations. In these research studies, the data is often extracted from secondary sources such as patient health records, benefits systems, and other nonresearch data sources. Good data is important to facilitate a good research study and to support clinical decisions using the results. Often multiple applicable healthcare data sources are available for a research study, some of which may be internal to the organization, while others may be external, such as state or national databases. This chapter attempts to develop an understanding of how the quality of data for healthcare research data sets can be established and improved when using secondary data sources, such as clinical or benefits databases, which were created without primary intentions for research use.

Bathara Katong merupakan salah satu leluhur yang menyiarkan agama Islam di Kaliwungu. Penghargaan Kaliwungu sebagai kota santri tidak terlepas dari peran penting Bathara Katong, warna masyarakat Kaliwungu yang religius hingga saat ini merupakan salah satu pengaruh ajaran Bathara Katong. Data penelitian ini berupa ajaran Bathara Katong yaitu tradisi lisan dan tradisi bukan lisan. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah data dari informan yaitu juru kunci makam Sunan Katong di Kaliwungu, juru kunci tempat sembahyang Sunan Ampel (nama lain Sunan Katong) di Kendal kota, tokoh masyarakat Kaliwungu, tokoh masyarakat Kendal, dan masyarakat umum Kaliwungu. Pengumpulan data penelitian ini menggunakan teknik observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Kemudian data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu ajaran Bathara Katong di Kaliwungu ada yang masih rutin dijalankan, dan ada yang sudah jarang dilaksanakan, namun sebagian besar masyarakat Kaliwungu tidak mengetahui bahwa ajaran tersebut merupakan ajaran Bathara Katong. Ajaran Bathara Katong di Kaliwungu penting untuk dilestarikan tidak hanya oleh masyarakat Kaliwungu namun juga oleh tokoh masyarakat, masyarakat Kaliwungu harus berani mengakui bahwa warna masyarakat Kaliwungu hingga saat ini merupakan hasil perjuangan leluhur seperti Bathara Katong. Abstraks Bathara Katong is one of the ancestors who broadcast Islam in Kaliwungu. The Kaliwungu award as a city of santri is inseparable from the important role of Bathara Katong, the color of the religious Kaliwungu community to date is one of the influences of the teachings of Bathara Katong. This research data is in the form of Bathara Katong teachings namely oral traditions and traditions rather than oral. The data sources of this research are data from informants namely the caretaker of the tomb of Sunan Katong in Kaliwungu, the caretaker of the prayer place of Sunan Ampel (another name is Sunan Katong) in Kendal city, Kaliwungu community leaders, Kendal community leaders, and the Kaliwungu general public. The data collection of this study uses observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Then the data obtained were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis method. The results of this study are the teachings of Bathara Katong in Kaliwungu which are still routinely carried out, and some are rarely implemented, but most of the Kaliwungu people do not know that the teachings are the teachings of Bathara Katong. The Bathara Katong teaching in Kaliwungu is important to be preserved not only by the Kaliwungu community but also by community leaders, the Kaliwungu community must dare to admit that the colors of the Kaliwungu community up to now are the result of ancestral struggles such as Bathara Katong.

The challenge of digital preservation of scientific data lies in the need to preserve not only the dataset itself but also the ability it has to deliver knowledge to a future user community. A true scientific research asset allows future users to reanalyze the data within new contexts. Thus, in order to carry out meaningful preservation we need to ensure that future users are equipped with the necessary information to re-use the data. This paper presents an overview of a preservation analysis methodology which was developed in response to that need on the CASPAR and Digital Curation Centre SCARP projects. We intend to place it in relation to other digital preservation practices, discussing how they can interact to provide archives caring for scientific data sets with the full arsenal of tools and techniques necessary to rise to this challenge.

This article aims to discover the history of education in the early of Islam in Medina. This research uses a historical analysis method. Research data sources are a number of literatures that is considered valid and credible. This research succeeded in describing several findings. Education pattern of Muhammad in plurality of Medina society tended to be informal, emphasizing the role of family and halâqahs. This study also found historical facts that the values ​​of pluralism, intellectualism, and the spirit of urbanism had become a part of learning and education of Muhammad. The style of the leadership of the Muhammad in the midst of the pluralist society of Medina offers a pattern that is very concerned about the existence of the community students through an example (uswah and qudwah hasanah). In addition, the Prophet taught with full attention and tenderness and humility. He never underestimated someone who came asking for teaching. Islamic education pattern of Muhammad in Medina was marked by a number of characteristics, namely education organized by through the construction of the mosque as a centre of movement, centre of education, and centre of community. The principle carried out by the Muhammad in fostering society is the ethical approach (moral virtue). He believes that moral values ​​not only create peace between individuals in a nation, but also between nations

Data from the Polar Regions are of critical importance to modern research and decision makers. Regardless of their disciplinary and institutional affiliations, researchers rely heavily on the comparison of existing data with new data sets to assess changes that are taking effect. However, in a recent survey of 113 major polar data providers, we found that an estimated 60% of the existing polar research data is unfindable through common search engines and can only be accessed through institutional webpages. This raises an awareness sign of the need of the scientific community to harvest different metadata related to the Polar Regions and collect it in a homogenous, seamless database and making this database available to researchers, students and publics through one search platform. This contribution describes the progress in an ongoing project, Open Polar, started in 2019 at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The project aims to collect metadata about all the open-access research data, articles and other scholarly documents related to the Polar Regions in a homogenous and seamless database. During the first six months of the project, the beta version of the user-interface was established, with a search by map and an advanced search function. An extensive geo-database that includes thousands of polar locations and their geographic information was collected from different sources. The geo-database together with a list of keywords (i.e. on sources, indigenous peoples, languages and other polar-related keywords) will be used in the filtration process. A Reference Board was formed, and the first board meeting took place in April 2020. The geographic definition of “Polar Regions” was defined in order to include most of the current geographic definitions of “Arctic”. The project is still facing some challenges that include for example integration with non-standard data sources who do not use Dublin Core Metadata schema, or are not harvestable through the Open Access Initiative’s standard protocol for harvesting (OAI-PMH).

There are many new words from the social media such as Netizen, Trentop, and Delcon. Those words include in blending. Blending is one of word formations combining two clipped words to form a brand new word. The researchers are interested in analyzing blend words used in the social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Blackberry Messenger. This research aims at (1) finding blend words used in the social media (2) describing kinds of blend words used in social media (3) describing the process of blend word formation used in the social media. This research uses some theories dealing with definition of blending and kinds of blending. This research belongs to descriptive qualitative research. Data of the research are English blend words used in social media. Data sources of this research are websites consisting of some English words used in social media and some social media users as the informant. Techniques of data collecting in this research are observation and simak catat. Observation is by observing some websites consisting of some English words used in social media. Simak catat is done by taking some notes on the data and encoding in symbols such as No/Blend words/Kinds of Blending. The researchers use source triangulation to check the data from the researchers with the informant and theory triangulation to determine kinds of blending and blend word formation in social media. There are115 data of blend words. Those data consists of 65 data of Instagram, 47 data of Twitter, 1 datum of Facebook, and 2 data of Blackberry Messenger. There are 2 types of blending used in social media;108 data of blending with clipping and 7 data of blending with overlapping. There are 10 ways of blend word formation found in this research.

Since the 1980’s, questions have been asked the world over about the efficiency and contribution of nursing in the hospital treatment of patients and nursing performance within the framework of nonhospital health care. The cause for these tendencies has many roots. For one, we can determine a push in professionalism through the increasing importance of nursing sciences on whole. The basic focus is on comparability, standardization (Johnson et al., 2005), and securing quality (ICN, 2003). Also, a significant part of nursing systems internationally are publicly financed and legally determined. This has the consequence that the political decision-makers, particularly in context with the financing and planning of nursing structures, have more of an interest in controlling the nursing systems and disposing of useable nursing data.
