Increasing the Value of Your Company Despite Difficult Times     

Neil Kelly 《Publishing Research Quarterly》2009,25(2):59-66

In tough economic times, growing a business may seem like a daunting prospect. However, it is possible for entities to grow the value of their businesses while navigating a difficult economic period. This article examines the processes used to value a business enterprise and the factors which contribute to an entity’s value. It then suggests ways for a publishing company to increase its value.  相似文献   

Educational Truth Telling in a More Reflexive Modernity     

Peter Kelly  Christopher Hickey  Richard Tinning 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2000,21(1):111-122

Postmodernist and poststructuralist discourses have, in the process of problematising what intellectual work looks like, opened up new spaces in which an examination of the processes of intellectual knowledge production can be located. Our intent in this article is to explore the problems and possibilities which emerge for particular forms of educational truth-telling under these conditions. While we examine these processes at a general level, our discussion is also grounded in an analysis of various attempts to tell particular truths about 'good' pedagogy in Physical Education (PE) in the transformed intellectual spaces of the contemporary university. There has been a long-running debate between various forms of expertise claiming to tell the truth about what constitutes good pedagogy in PE. This paper revisits this debate via a mobilisation of Hall's theorisation of articulation, and the reflexive modernisation thesis of Beck, Giddens and Lash. We argue that a more reflexive modernity profoundly problematises all forms of truth-telling in education.  相似文献

Adolescents at risk for mistreating their children. Part I: Prenatal identification     

Stevens-Simon C  Nelligan D  Kelly L 《Child abuse & neglect》2001,25(6):737-751

OBJECTIVE: To determine if the Family Stress Checklist helps prenatal care providers identify adolescents who are at risk for mistreating their children. METHODS: We studied 262 participants in a comprehensive, adolescent-oriented maternity program. During the prenatal period, the Family Stress Checklist was used to quantify abuse potential, with scores >25 defining high risk. Information about the social context of the pregnancy and the pattern of health care utilization was obtained with a self-administered questionnaire, and by reviewing the medical records. Major disruption of primary care giving by the adolescent mother was classified hierarchically as abuse, neglect, and abandonment. RESULTS: Family Stress Checklist scores ranged from 0 to 65 (mean + SD = 20.1 + 1.4); 113 (43%) of the 262 teenagers were classified as high risk. High and low risk adolescent mothers made an equivalent number of health maintenance and Emergency Department visits, but the high risk group initiated significantly more acute care visits (6.0 + 4.1 compared to 3.9 + 3.3; p < .0001). After controlling for pre-existing sociodemographic differences, high risk 1-year-olds were 8.41 (95% CI: 1.77-40.01) times and high risk 2-year-olds 5.19 (95% CI: 1.99-13.60) times more likely to have been mistreated than their low risk counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal care providers can use the Family Stress Checklist to systematically identify a subgroup of adolescent mother whose excessive use of the acute medical care services and propensity for mistreating their children suggests the need for additional support services.  相似文献   

Effects of distractor familiarity on habituation of neophobia     

David R. Shanks  G. C. Preston  Kelly J. Stanhope 《Learning & behavior》1986,14(4):393-397

When the first presentation of a neophobic flavor is immediately followed by a distractor flavor, habituation of the neophobic response is typically attenuated. This is manifested by the fact that neophobia is still shown to the target flavor on its second presentation. Three experiments investigated the prediction that this effect will occur only for novel, but not familiar, distractor solutions. Experiments 1 and 2 found that, contrary to this prediction, both novel and familiar distractors can attenuate the habituation of a neophobic response. In Experiment 3, however, when the distractor was made very much more familiar, it lost its ability to interfere with the habituation of neophobia to the target solution. These results are discussed in terms of Wagner’s (1981) theory of habituation.  相似文献

Preventive Conservation on Demand: Developing Tools and Learning Resources for the Next Generation of Collections Professionals     

Simon Lambert  Catherine Antomarchi  Kelly Johnson  Julie Stevenson  Marjolijn Debulpaep  Theocharis Katrakazis 《文物保护研究》2018,63(5):156-163

ABSTRACT

The modern learning environment is evolving at a rapid pace. Technology can help developers of preventive conservation tools and learning resources for collections professionals to increase their impact and reach. However, it is crucial to keep the needs of users, and gaps in skills and knowledge at the forefront. This article examines preventive conservation tools and resources developed by the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) and ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property) over the past 30 years. In light of the results from a recent survey and research in the learning and development field, a set of orientations for future tool development are highlighted; these tools must be: need driven, user centered, emulating everyday experiences, social and informal, concise, mobile friendly, curated and open access.  相似文献   

An analysis of evaluation campaigns in ad-hoc medical information retrieval: CLEF eHealth 2013 and 2014     

Lorraine Goeuriot  Gareth J. F. Jones  Liadh Kelly  Johannes Leveling  Mihai Lupu  Joao Palotti  Guido Zuccon 《Information Retrieval》2018,21(6):507-540

Since its inception in 2013, one of the key contributions of the CLEF eHealth evaluation campaign has been the organization of an ad-hoc information retrieval (IR) benchmarking task. This IR task evaluates systems intended to support laypeople searching for and understanding health information. Each year the task provides registered participants with standard IR test collections consisting of a document collection and topic set. Participants then return retrieval results obtained by their IR systems for each query, which are assessed using a pooling procedure. In this article we focus on CLEF eHealth 2013 and 2014s retrieval task, which saw topics created based on patients’ information needs associated with their medical discharge summaries. We overview the task and datasets created, and the results obtained by participating teams over these two years. We then provide a detailed comparative analysis of the results, and conduct an evaluation of the datasets in the light of these results. This twofold study of the evaluation campaign teaches us about technical aspects of medical IR, such as the effectiveness of query expansion; the quality and characteristics of CLEF eHealth IR datasets, such as their reliability; and how to run an IR evaluation campaign in the medical domain.  相似文献
