Researching Initiatives and Referenda: A Guide for Missouri     

《Legal Reference Services Quarterly》2013,32(3-4):163-176

SUMMARY

This research guide is intended for those wishing to explore the history and develop a basic understanding of the initiative and referenda petition process in Missouri. The I&R process attracted national attention when Missouri's controversial Constitutional Amendment 2 dealing with stem cell research appeared on the ballot in the 2006 general election. Recently, there have been efforts to overturn this petition which narrowly passed. Hopefully, this guide will provide background and suggest paper and electronic resources for those wishing to study the process and determine what “paper trail” is available for initiatives and referendum in Missouri.  相似文献

How situational interest affects individual interest in a STEAM competition     

Jon-Chao Hong  Chun-Hsing Chang  Kai-Hsin Tai 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(12):1667-1681

ABSTRACT

Interest in educational research can be categorised into situational interest (SI) and individual interest (II); the sequential phases of interest development for learning have long been recognised as triggered SI, maintained SI, emerging II, and well-developed II. This study proposes an interest development model which involves SI and II mentally developed during students’ preparation for and participation in annual ‘PowerTech’ STEAM contests in Taiwan. In July 2015, data were first collected to examine students’ triggered SI, and 4 months later in the world contest to examine the local contest winning students’ maintained SI. Also, during the contest, data were collected on-site to examine the students’ emerging II. Finally, the same measurement tool was administered again for the world contest winning students 2 months later in February 2016. The results of this study showed that triggered SI is positively related to maintained SI. Maintained SI is positively related to emerging II, but it is not significantly related to well-developed II. Emerging II is positively related to well-developed II. The implication of this finding is that a well-designed competition may raise students’ SI so that emerging II and well-developed II could mature due to the effect of maintained SI.  相似文献   

Problems and Solutions for American Political Coverage     

《Journalism Practice》2013,7(10):1241-1258

Drawing on Shoemaker and her colleagues’ five levels of analysis, i.e. the individual, routine, organization, institutional, and social system levels, this study examines news media’s post-election self-examination. This study uses natural language processing-related techniques to analyze a corpus of news articles published 10 days after the election day to understand the nature and distribution of identified problems and proposed solutions at the five levels. This study finds that news media's inward reflections focused more on the routine level while problems at individual and organizational levels were not prominently examined. Outwardly, more discussions were pointed to institutions that share the media ecosystem with the news industry. This study serves as an empirical contribution to metajournalistic discourse analysis. Findings reveal the discursive struggle to construct and reconstruct the journalistic field.  相似文献   

第15届世界男篮锦标赛中国队与竞赛对手进攻技术数据对比分析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

冯健 《吉林体育学院学报》2008,24(1):49-50

对参加第15届世界篮球锦标赛的中国队与竞赛对手6场比赛的进攻技术数据,运用文献资料、录像观察、数理统计、比较分析等方法进行对比研究。结果表明,中国队已具备世界优秀中锋球员;但中国队外围队员进攻能力与对手相比处于明显劣势,进攻方面过分依赖内线,内线整体得分能力不及对手,三分命中率低下,缺少场上组织核心;中国队战术缺乏理念,整体性差,打法单一,缺乏鲜明的特点;比赛中队员攻击力量不均衡,失误较多,对抗能力差,破紧逼防守乏术,比赛作风不顽强等,是中国队本届世锦赛不能取得更好成绩的直接原因。  相似文献   

竞技体育发展进程中的功利性特征探析     

李龙 《吉林体育学院学报》2008,24(1):9-11

对竞技体育发展进程中功利性特征的研究,将有助于我们进一步认识竞技体育功利性的表现以及它所产生的影响,从而树立正确的功利性价值观念,促进竞技体育健康发展。在竞技体育产生之初就蕴涵了许多功利性的萌芽,它在发展进程中受西方功利主义思想以及市场经济的影响,产生了许多不利于竞技体育健康发展的功利性价值观念。竞技体育要发展,只有积极引导竞技体育的价值主体树立正确的价值观念,才能使之成为促使竞技体育健康发展的动力。  相似文献
