The strategic importance of information policy for the contemporary neoliberal state: The case of Open Government Data in the United Kingdom   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jo Bates 《Government Information Quarterly》2014

The article analyses the role of Open Government Data policy as part of the broader public policy agenda of the UK government. A thematic analysis of interview, observational and policy documentation is presented which suggests that since 2010 the Open Government Data agenda has been used strategically by the UK's centre-right coalition government to progress a range of controversial policies, which are aimed at the continuation of the neoliberal form of state through its current crisis. Specifically, the relationship between Open Government Data policy and the neoliberal objectives of the marketisation of public services and privatisation of public assets, the leveraging of financial markets and the pharmaceutical industry, and the embedding of OGD into a broader agenda aimed at rebuilding trust in political elites are analysed. These findings are examined in relation to Braman's (2006, 2011) arguments regarding the strategic implementation of information policy by Governments in the exercising of state power, and the development of the ‘informational state’.  相似文献   

What response rates are needed to make reliable inferences from student evaluations of teaching?     

Abdel Azim Zumrawi  Simon P. Bates 《Educational Research and Evaluation》2014,20(7-8):557-563

This paper addresses the determination of statistically desirable response rates in students’ surveys, with emphasis on assessing the effect of underlying variability in the student evaluation of teaching (SET). We discuss factors affecting the determination of adequate response rates and highlight challenges caused by non-response and lack of randomization. Estimates of underlying variability were obtained for a period of 4?years, from online evaluations at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Simulations were used to examine the effect of underlying variability on desirable response rates. The UBC response rates were compared to those reported in the literature. Results indicate that small differences in underlying variability may not impact desired rates. We present acceptable response rates for a range of variability scenarios, class sizes, confidence level, and margin of error. The stability of estimates observed at UBC, over a 4-year period, indicates that valid model-based inferences of SET could be made.  相似文献

Peer Victimization and Social Alienation: Predicting Deviant Peer Affiliation in Middle School

Two prospective studies examined a theoretical model wherein exposure to victimization, resulting from early behavioral risk, heightens children's social alienation and subsequent deviant peer affiliation (DPA). Across Study 1 (298 girls, 287 boys; K–7th grade; 5–12 years) and Study 2 (338 girls, 298 boys; 2nd–6th grade; 8–12 years), children, parents, peers, and teachers reported on children's externalizing behavior and internalizing symptoms, peer victimization, social alienation, and DPA. Path analyses supported the proposed pathway: Peer victimization predicted social alienation, which then predicted DPA. Early externalizing behavior set this path in motion and made an independent contribution to DPA. This research identifies an important pathway through which externalizing behavior and consequent peer victimization launch children onto a risky social trajectory.  相似文献

The relationship between meeting of recommendations on physical activity for health and perceived work ability among white-collar workers     

Agnieszka Nawrocka  Wiesław Garbaciak  Jarosław Cholewa  Władysław Mynarski 《European Journal of Sport Science》2018,18(3):415-422

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between meeting recommendations on physical activity for health in leisure-time and the ability to work among Polish white-collar workers. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample of 360 white-collar workers. Participants recorded 7-day physical activity logs, including form, duration and intensity of leisure-time physical activities. The results were compared to health recommendations. A standardized Work Ability Index (WAI) questionnaire was used in assessing the ability to work. Results: Participants who met health recommendations achieved higher scores of the WAI (mean score?=?41.93) in comparison to those who were not sufficiently physically active (mean score?=?39.35) (p?Conclusions: Meeting leisure-time physical activity recommendations (especially the criterion of vigorous physical activity) is significantly related to higher self-assessed ability to work among white-collar workers.  相似文献

Characteristics of shock attenuation during fatigued running   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Mercer JA  Bates BT  Dufek JS  Hreljac A 《Journal of sports sciences》2003,21(11):911-919

The aim of this study was to examine shock attenuation before and after completing a maximal effort graded exercise test while running on a treadmill. Ten individuals ran before and after a maximal graded exercise test with running speed controlled between conditions. Transfer functions were calculated using surface-mounted accelerometers to represent shock attenuation. An accelerometer was mounted on the distal aspect of the tibia and another on the anterior aspect of the forehead. Ten strides were analysed in each condition for all participants. Paired t-tests were used to compare each dependent variable (shock attenuation, stride length, rate of oxygen consumption) between conditions (running before vs after the exercise test). Oxygen consumption was 16% greater when running after the graded exercise test (47.9 +/- 5.0 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1); mean+/-s) than when running before it (41.1 +/- 2.7 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) (P < 0.05). Stride length was similar during running before (2.71 +/- 0.15 m) and after (2.75 +/- 0.17 m) the graded exercise test (P > 0.05). Shock attenuation was, on average, 12% lower during running after (-9.8 +/- 2.6 dB) than before (-11.3 +/- 2.7 dB) the graded exercise test (P < 0.05). We conclude that less shock was attenuated during fatigued than non-fatigued running and that only subtle changes in stride length were made while fatigued.  相似文献
