Te Wero—the challenge: reimagining universities from an indigenous world view     

Edwina Pio  Kitea Tipuna  Ali Rasheed  Lorraine Parker 《Higher Education》2014,67(5):675-690

This paper provides a foundational framework to bring into conversation indigenous world views in reimagining universities. Highlighting a specific indigenous world view, the university is presented as a site for critical conversation and transformative praxis. We discuss the workplace experiences of indigenous staff in a university and infer from these how management practices related to indigenous staff could be enhanced. Building on our study of Māori academic and administrative staff in a New Zealand university, an indigenous typology and a Wero or challenge matrix is offered, which locates different positions and actions that universities adhere to or seek to emulate. The paper argues for universities to reimagine their policies and practices by drawing from the complex richness of indigenous world views.  相似文献   

From study to work: methodological challenges of a graduate destination survey in the Western Cape,South Africa     

Jacques du Toit  Andre Kraak  Judy Favish  Lizelle Fletcher 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2014,39(7):853-864

Current literature proposes several strategies for improving response rates to student evaluation surveys. Graduate destination surveys pose the difficulty of tracing graduates years later when their contact details may have changed. This article discusses the methodology of one such a survey to maximise response rates. Compiling a sample frame with reliable contact details was most important, but may require using additional sources of information other than university records. In hindsight, graduates should have been contacted prior to the survey to introduce it and stress its importance, while email and postal reminders appeared to have a limited effect on non-respondents. Due to varying response rates between participating universities, online responses were augmented with a call centre administering the survey telephonically to non-respondents. Although overall differences between online and telephonic responses appeared to be small, certain question items may need to be treated with caution when conducting telephonic surveys.  相似文献

Piracy on the OA High Seas     

Lorraine Busby 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(2):129-135

Protecting intellectual property in all its variations is a serious international issue and challenge. While the theft of journal articles may not always be visible, there increasingly is evidence that it is occurring for both commercial publishers and open access publishers. The implications of massive downloading of journal content for unauthorized purposes will differentially impact the sustainability of the business model employed by the publisher. The resulting extremely serious implications, risks, and impacts are identified and considered in a high-hearted manner that contrasts with similar aspects previously encountered in managing unwanted journal donations.  相似文献   

A Matter of Size     

Lorraine Busby 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(3-4):233-239

Customer expectations from a journal publisher can be affected by the size of the publishing firm. The economies of scale, efficiencies, branding, and value added services are explored in relationship to expectations of the author customer, the reading customer, and the paying customer. When the imperative to sell is removed, there are differences in quality perception for traditional commercial publishers versus open access mega journals. Regardless of the size of the publisher, those involved in the publishing world are committed to ensuring research results are shared and accessible to their readers.  相似文献

Yellowing of Oil-Based Paints     

Jacky Mallégol  Jacques Lemaire  Jean-Luc Gardette 《文物保护研究》2013,58(2):121-131

Summary

The cause of yellowing of oil-based paints has been investigated by analysing drying oils simultaneously by iodometry (to determine the degree of oxidation) and by colorimetry. It was found that yellowing of drying oils can be attributed to co-oxidation reactions of contaminants. Yellowing level is closely related to the extent of drying and appears to be unaffected by increase in temperature, the addition of driers, or linolenate content.  相似文献   

Conceptions of first‐year university students of the constituents of matter and the notions of acids and bases     

Danièle Cros  Maurice Maurin  Roger Amouroux  Maurice Chastrette∗  Jacques Leber  Michel Fayol 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(3):305-313

Preconceptions of first‐year university students of the constituents of matter and the notions of acids and bases were investigated on a total of 400 students. The procedure used consisted of free interviews, semi‐structured interviews and questionnaires.

It was found that the constituents of matter were well known to students, but that interactions between these constituents were either totally unknown or were the subject of severe misconceptions. The students’ knowledge tended to be qualitative and formal, with a worrying lack of connection with everyday life.  相似文献   

The prevalence and impact of child maltreatment and other types of victimization in the UK: Findings from a population survey of caregivers,children and young people and young adults     

Lorraine Radford  Susana Corral  Christine Bradley  Helen L. Fisher 《Child abuse & neglect》2013

Objectives

To measure the prevalence of maltreatment and other types of victimization among children, young people, and young adults in the UK; to explore the risks of other types of victimization among maltreated children and young people at different ages; using standardized scores from self-report measures, to assess the emotional wellbeing of maltreated children, young people, and young adults taking into account other types of childhood victimization, different perpetrators, non-victimization adversities and variables known to influence mental health.

Methods

A random UK representative sample of 2,160 parents and caregivers, 2,275 children and young people, and 1,761 young adults completed computer-assisted self-interviews. Interviews included assessment of a wide range of childhood victimization experiences and measures of impact on mental health.

Results

2.5% of children aged under 11 years and 6% of young people aged 11–17 years had 1 or more experiences of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, or neglect by a parent or caregiver in the past year, and 8.9% of children under 11 years, 21.9% of young people aged 11–17 years, and 24.5% of young adults had experienced this at least once during childhood. High rates of sexual victimization were also found; 7.2% of females aged 11–17 and 18.6% of females aged 18–24 reported childhood experiences of sexual victimization by any adult or peer that involved physical contact (from sexual touching to rape). Victimization experiences accumulated with age and overlapped. Children who experienced maltreatment from a parent or caregiver were more likely than those not maltreated to be exposed to other forms of victimization, to experience non-victimization adversity, a high level of polyvictimization, and to have higher levels of trauma symptoms.

Conclusions

The past year maltreatment rates for children under age 18 were 7–17 times greater than official rates of substantiated child maltreatment in the UK. Professionals working with children and young people in all settings should be alert to the overlapping and age-related differences in experiences of childhood victimization to better identify child maltreatment and prevent the accumulative impact of different victimizations upon children's mental health.  相似文献
