Many people understand chemicals as entities that do not occur naturally, and which are also invariably toxic. Tobacco control messages liberally use the term ‘chemicals’ to evoke these meanings and create concern among smokers. This may reinforce misunderstandings, potentially leading to smokers making harmful choices. To investigate smokers’ understandings of chemicals, we conducted qualitative research using 18 individual interviews and three focus groups with Australian smokers and recently quit smokers. The research was guided by the ‘mental models’ framework and the recently developed Context, Executive, and Operational Systems theory. We discerned two clusters of mental models: the first cluster focused on combustion as the overarching cause of harm (and were largely consistent with the science) and the second cluster focused on additives as causes of harm. We found most participants displayed limited knowledge of the causes of harm from smoking and some held mutually incompatible beliefs. Most participants believed that cigarettes differ significantly in harmfulness according to whether or not they were believed to contain additives. Only a minority understood that the bulk of the toxicants to which smokers are exposed are combustion products. These findings are directly relevant to tobacco control but also have broader relevance to risk communications about toxic exposures.

Snowball Sampling Technique

This study aims to determine the implementation of the Regulation of the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency Number 06 of 2015 concerning Distribution of Specific Types of Oil Fuels and Types of Fuels Specifically for Assignments to Areas without Distributors in Katingan District. The type of research used is qualitative research methods with descriptive analysis techniques. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants taken in this study were carried out using the snowball sampling technique. Based on the results of the research based on the results of research on the implementation of the Regulation of the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency Number 06 of 2015 it can be concluded that the regulation cannot be implemented. This is indicated by the absence of the establishment of sub-distributors and the appointment of sub-distributors. Suggestions that researchers can give to the local government of Katingan Regency should consider the needs of regions with limited distribution so that researchers feel the need to establish sub-distributors that can empower community groups through cooperatives and Village-Owned Enterprises.

Concise Guide

Field notes are widely recommended in qualitative research as a means of documenting needed contextual information. With growing use of data sharing, secondary analysis, and metasynthesis, field notes ensure rich context persists beyond the original research team. However, while widely regarded as essential, there is not a guide to field note collection within the literature to guide researchers. Using the qualitative literature and previous research experience, we provide a concise guide to collection, incorporation, and dissemination of field notes. We provide a description of field note content for contextualization of an entire study as well as individual interviews and focus groups. In addition, we provide two “sketch note” guides, one for study context and one for individual interviews or focus groups for use in the field. Our guides are congruent with many qualitative and mixed methodologies and ensure contextual information is collected, stored, and disseminated as an essential component of ethical, rigorous qualitative research.

Abstract Background: Achieving changing needs, advancing knowledge, and innovations in higher education require constant changes of medical school curricula and brings greater clarity to the influence of the core beliefs held by medical educators. The purpose of this study was to describe medical educators’ beliefs about alignment of learning goals, teaching and assessment in the context of curriculum changes.Method: A qualitative method was used to this goal by selecting faculty participants in a purposeful sampling strategy. For the individual interviews, we invited both professors of basic sciences and clinical professors who had worked with medical students for at least five years.Result: Findings showed that gaps between theoretical contents and real world settings caused ignorance of the core competencies in learning and assessment processes. It also indicated gaps between what students learn in class and what they need to know and, especially, do in hospitals. Furthermore, the current beliefs of teachers need to be further changed to realize more integrated learning in the future.Conclusion: A change towards more active teaching methods and a whole-task approach to teaching and assessment is needed in order to help students acquire desired competencies. Thus, a shift from a discipline-based to a competency-based approach to teaching and learning is needed.

This study, framed by social constructionism, investigated the dialogic exchanges and co-construction of knowledge among female graduate students, who met to discuss the ways in which the differences between mentors and mentees might be negotiated in order to develop and maintain mentoring relationships that benefit both partners. Ten female graduate students, with qualitative research experience, participated in individual interviews and focus groups. Findings indicated our participants were open to the differences expressed, focusing on commonalities, rather than accentuating or suppressing stated differences. This negotiation of difference enabled our participants to co-construct more complex and legitimate understandings of mentoring. Collectively, our participants expressed a need for mentoring that addressed psychosocial, as well as career functions and mentoring relationships that supported the development of both mentor and mentee as scholars and researchers.

The research, which was conducted in the village of Oepaha, Nekamese District, Kupang Regency, from June to July 2019, aims to identify marketing channels, capabilities and margins, and the share and benefits of celery marketing for farmers. The location of the research was determined using purposive sampling methods, considering that the location was the most important supplier area for celery in Kupang Regency. The population in this study was the farming community in Oepaha Village, Nekamese district, Kupang Regency,in the amount of 96 celery farmers. The sampling methods is carried out by simple random sampling according to the Slovenian formula, so that a sample of 49 celery farmers is obtained. Sampling for marketing institutions was determined by selecting the marketing institutions which directly involved in celery marketing using snowball sampling methods. In the end, respondents selected marketing institutes consisting of village collectors amounted to 4 people and retailers amounted to 4 people. The analysis of the data used in this study includes descriptive analysis, marketing margin analysis, farmer's share analysis and marketing profit analysis. The results showed that the marketing channel for celery carried out by farmers consisted of two channels, namely farmers directly to consumers and farmers to consumers through intermediaries, namely village collectors and retailers. Celery marketing functions that arise are the functions of sales, purchases, transport, standardization and financing and market information on the zero level channel,while sales, purchasing, transportation, storage, standardization, and financing, as well as market information, run on the second level channel. The marketing margin at zero level is Rp. 51.000,-, while the second level marketing channel is Rp. 17,000 at the collector and Rp. 34,000 at the retailer. The percentage of farmer’s share received by farmers is 25% at zero level and 25% at second level channel. The profit from celery marketing in the zero level marketing channel is Rp. 8.261 (farmers), the second level marketing channel is Rp. 16,688 (farmers), Rp. 15.267 (collectors' traders), Rp. 28,029 (retailers).

This methodologic paper aims to update researchers working with adolescents and young adults on the potentials and pitfalls associated with web-based qualitative research. We present a case study of synchronous web-based focus groups with 35 adolescents and young women ages 15–24 years old recruited from a clinical sample for a mixed methods study of heart disease awareness. We contrast this with two other studies, one using asynchronous web-based focus groups with 30 transgender youth ages 13 to 24 years old and another using synchronous web-based focus groups with 48 young men who have sex with men ages 18 to 26 years old, both recruited via social media. We describe general and logistical considerations, technical platform considerations, and ethical, regulatory, and research considerations associated with web-based qualitative research. In an era of technology ubiquity and dependence, researchers should consider web-based focus groups a potential qualitative research tool, especially when working with youth.
