Ethnography

Ethnography
Ethnography (from Greek ἔθνος ethnos "folk, people, nation" and γράφω grapho "I write") is the systematic study of people and cultures. It is designed to explore cultural phenomena where the researcher observes society from the point of view of the subject of the study. An ethnography is a means to represent graphically and in writing the culture of a group. The word can thus be said to have a "double meaning," which partly depends on whether it is used as a count noun or uncountably.[1] The resulting field study or a case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group.[2][3][4] Origins[edit] Gerhard Friedrich Müller developed the concept of ethnography as a separate discipline whilst participating in the Second Kamchatka Expedition (1733–43) as a professor of history and geography.

Sending e-mail Although Python makes sending e-mail relatively easy via the smtplib library, Django provides a couple of light wrappers over it. These wrappers are provided to make sending e-mail extra quick, to make it easy to test e-mail sending during development, and to provide support for platforms that can’t use SMTP. The code lives in the django.core.mail module. Quick example In two lines: from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message Mail is sent using the SMTP host and port specified in the EMAIL_HOST and EMAIL_PORT settings. Note The character set of e-mail sent with django.core.mail will be set to the value of your DEFAULT_CHARSET setting. send_mail() send_mail(subjectmessagefrom_emailrecipient_listfail_silently=Falseauth_user=Noneauth_password=Noneconnection=None) The simplest way to send e-mail is using django.core.mail.send_mail(). The subject, message, from_email and recipient_list parameters are required. send_mass_mail() mail_admins() mail_managers()

Class 03 | Joseph Molinaro Learning Objectives: To introduce ethnographic research style in design field.To understand the steps in conducting ethnographic research.To learn about the driving and restraining forces for using ethnography in design practice. Discussion Points: What is research? The word research literally means ‘to investigate thoroughly’. What is ethnography? Ethnography is the study of cultures. A brief history of ethnography Ethnography is a social science research method. Definition of Ethnography: Contemporary Perspectives Deconstructing the Definition of Ethnography Qualitative description implies a lack of statistical evidence, but a richer experiential understanding of gathered data. Unique Characteristics of Ethnography How To Do Ethnographic Research? This diagram shows the steps in conducting ethnographic research. what this diagram does not capture is how messy this process really is and how fieldwork , in the sense of collecting data, is one big learning process. The Ethnographic Research Cycle

Model instance reference A few object methods have special purposes. __unicode__ Model.__unicode__() The __unicode__() method is called whenever you call unicode() on an object. Django uses unicode(obj) (or the related function, str(obj)) in a number of places. For example: from django.db import models class Person(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) def __unicode__(self): return '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name) If you define a __unicode__() method on your model and not a __str__() method, Django will automatically provide you with a __str__() that calls __unicode__() and then converts the result correctly to a UTF-8 encoded string object. __str__ Model. The __str__() method is called whenever you call str() on an object. from django.db import models class Person(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) def __str__(self): return '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name) <!

''Szeptuchy od czasów pogańskich pełnią rolę lekarzy ludu'' Kim jest szeptucha? - Zgodnie z definicją szeptucha jest tradycyjnym podlaskim uzdrowicielem, który odwołuje się do tradycji tutejszej medycyny ludowej. Ile szeptuch zgodnie z pani szacunkami mamy jeszcze w Polsce? - Nigdy nie stawiałam sobie za cel policzenia wszystkich, dlatego mogę tylko szacować. Poza tym ich liczba regularnie spada, są to w większości osoby bardzo wiekowe - wśród badanych przeze mnie średnia wieku wyniosła 70 lat, a więc co chwilę jedna z szeptuch umiera.

A Detailed Django Tutorial: Blog Basics Part IV This is the last part of this 4 part series by Jeff Hui. If you wish, you can download the entire tutorial without having it split up. Today we’ll be learning the gist of Django, a pythonic web framework. If you’ve never dealt with (or even seen) python code before, I recommend skimming through python’s official tutorial. if myvariable == True: print “myvariable is True” print “Always printed” One other thing to note is that boolean variables are True and False (case-sensitive). Table of Contents Comments What’s a blog without comments? ‘django.contrib.comments’, Then we need to map it to a url. (r’^comments/’, include(‘django.contrib.comments.urls’)), Now we can start adding comments to our posts. Listing page Edit posts/post_list.html to match the following: Detail Page Edit post_detail.html and add the following after the include tag: The get_comments_list tag does what it says. Finally, we’ll add a comment form so users can post new comments. <hr/> <h3>Your comment</h3> Final Result Homepage

Outputting PDFs with Django This document explains how to output PDF files dynamically using Django views. This is made possible by the excellent, open-source ReportLab Python PDF library. The advantage of generating PDF files dynamically is that you can create customized PDFs for different purposes – say, for different users or different pieces of content. For example, Django was used at kusports.com to generate customized, printer-friendly NCAA tournament brackets, as PDF files, for people participating in a March Madness contest. Install ReportLab Download and install the ReportLab library from Test your installation by importing it in the Python interactive interpreter: If that command doesn't raise any errors, the installation worked. Write your view The key to generating PDFs dynamically with Django is that the ReportLab API acts on file-like objects, and Django's HttpResponse objects are file-like objects. Here's a "Hello World" example: Complex PDFs Other formats

Custom template tags and filters Django’s template system comes with a wide variety of built-in tags and filters designed to address the presentation logic needs of your application. Nevertheless, you may find yourself needing functionality that is not covered by the core set of template primitives. You can extend the template engine by defining custom tags and filters using Python, and then make them available to your templates using the {% load %} tag. Code layout Custom template tags and filters must live inside a Django app. If they relate to an existing app it makes sense to bundle them there; otherwise, you should create a new app to hold them. The app should contain a templatetags directory, at the same level as models.py, views.py, etc. Your custom tags and filters will live in a module inside the templatetags directory. For example, if your custom tags/filters are in a file called poll_extras.py, your app layout might look like this: polls/ models.py templatetags/ __init__.py poll_extras.py views.py

Gmail and Django - ltslashgt Did a bit of running around today to get Django sending email via Gmail. It’s simple once you figure it out. If you’re running 0.96, upgrade to the latest development version or apply the patch from ticket #2897. 0.96 does not support TLS, which Gmail requires. EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'youremail@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'yourpassword' EMAIL_PORT = 587 You can use the shell to test it: >>> from django.core.mail import send_mail >>> send_mail('Test', 'This is a test', to=['youremail@somewhere.com']) Edit: Bryan commented that send_mail is deprecated. >>> from django.core.mail import EmailMessage >>> email = EmailMessage('Hello', 'World', to=['youremail@somewhere.com']) >>> email.send()

Ethnography - is the study of human behaviour and relations within a cultural context. The approach has become subject to debate, partly because of our contemporary awareness that simplistic notions of culture (such as those which satisfied the early anthropologists working in 'foreign' settings) can be misleading- indeed, the very notion of 'culture' is increasingly recognised to be problematic.
