Internal efficiency of Higher education system in armed conflict-affected countries-Yemen case     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2021

Yemen has witnessed decades of political unrest and the current armed conflict has significantly impacted human development. The economic activity has been severely disrupted which in turn affected the delivery of public services including the financing and operation of the higher education system (HE), where efficiency was negatively impacted.The purpose of this research is to investigate the extent of which the internal efficiency of the Yemen HE has been affected. This will be achieved through analysing the main three domains of teaching and learning activities as well as the impacts of the adopted policies by HE management. Structured interviews with standardized closed-ended and open-ended questions were conducted online with 51 academics who have been purposely selected. Despite the devastating effects of the armed conflict, the HE has continued to perform its duties, providing space for learning and contributing effectively in social cohesion. Nonetheless, the education process has been impacted quantitatively and qualitatively.Yemen has been deprived of its well-qualified human capital, and the brain-drain is still ongoing. The continuity of conflict will yield a generation who is either uneducated or poorly educated, and this will in turn continue feeding the violence and jeopardizing Yemen’s future.This paper represents a first attempt to study the effects of Yemen’s armed conflict on HE. Future research should shed light on tracing students who abandoned education as well as the level of knowledge, skills and competencies of those lately graduated. The multi-dimensional effects of brain-drain are equally important.  相似文献

Development and reliability of the KIM cycling scale – a measurement tool for the development process to cycling independently     

Jennifer Kavanagh  Kieran Moran  Johann Issartel 《Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy》2020,25(2):174-187

ABSTRACT

Background: Cycling has gained more attention as an important lifelong physical activity. Learning to cycle independently without assistance is a milestone for most children that requires time and practice to master. Cycling was recently added to the motor development model and so a valid and reliable measure of cycling ability is required to allow accurate assessment of the skill. Cycling has many health benefits along with being a commonly reported physical activity globally and therefore is an important skill to promote in early childhood and throughout life. To date, there are no measurement tools examining the developmental process to independent cycling in the early childhood years. The current study aimed to develop and assess the inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the ‘KIM Cycling Scale’.

Methods: Development of the scale occurred in four phases: (1) development of criteria and stages, which used observation of children when learning to cycle and expert panels to develop the initial developmental stages, (2) review of instructions and criteria and pilot inter-rater and test-retest reliability, to ensure that the scale could be used as a standalone scale without requiring further instructions (3) cycling intervention, which allowed assessment of the developmental nature of children along the scale as they learn to cycle independently and to assess typical and alternate routes to independent cycling and (4) inter-rater and test-retest reliability.

Results: Ninety children took part in phase 1, thirty-six children took part in phase 2, seventy-four children took part in phase 3 and one hundred and forty-nine children took part in phase 4. All three hundred and forty-nine children were between 2 and 6 years. The developed scale included eight stages in total. The scale was found to have excellent inter-rater reliability (ICC?=?0.97, 95% CI?=?0.96–0.98) and good to excellent test-retest reliability [(ICC?=?0.91, 95% CI?=?0.87–0.94) & (ICC?=?0.90, 95% CI?=?0.85–0.93)]. Typical routes to independent cycling along the scale were examined and reported as being step-wise on all occasions except one where a two stage jump was as common as the step-wise route. Alternate routes were also reported.

Conclusion: The current study developed a reliable measurement tool for assessing children between 2 and 6 years of age on the developmental process to independent cycling. Having a cycling scale will allow teachers and practitioners to assess competence in cycling and moreover, track changes in skill development. Furthermore, parents could also use the scale to better understand and better asses their child’s progression when learning to cycle.  相似文献

我国学校体育场地建设效率研究     

孙成林  王健 《武汉体育学院学报》2020,54(2):44-52

基于第六次全国体育场地普查基础数据，运用数据包络分析法，对我国学校体育场地建设效率进行研究。结果显示：在样本期内，学校体育场地建设的综合技术效率均值为0.606、纯技术效率均值为0.758、规模效率均值为0.787，较之DEA最优值1，我国学校体育场地的建设效率不高；以非DEA有效为标准，从综合技术效率看，学校体育场地建设效率呈现东部高于西部、西部高于中部地区的态势，场地建设投入决策单元的整体效率水平不高；从纯技术效率看，体育场地建设效率呈现西部高于东部、东部高于中部地区的态势，场地建设投入要素的管理和技术水平有较大提升空间；从规模效率看，体育场地建设效率呈现与综合技术效率同样的态势，且全国有23个省体育场地建设处于规模效益递减状态，场地建设投入资源的配置效率不高。分析表明我国学校体育场地建设效率低的原因主要在于场地建设投入资金的结构不合理、区域间体育资源的配置不合理、体育用地开发利用的"二维平面延展"局限性等。建议：在财政经费投入上采用差异化的财政投入政策，在区域性资源配置上合理配置区域间学校体育场地建设投入资源，在土地资源开发利用上注重学校体育用地的"三维立体化"开发等举措，以提高我国学校体育场地的建设效率。  相似文献   

Machine learning based system for managing energy efficiency of public sector as an approach towards smart cities     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

Energy efficiency of public sector is an important issue in the context of smart cities due to the fact that buildings are the largest energy consumers, especially public buildings such as educational, health, government and other public institutions that have a large usage frequency. However, recent developments of machine learning within Big Data environment have not been exploited enough in this domain. This paper aims to answer the question of how to incorporate Big Data platform and machine learning into an intelligent system for managing energy efficiency of public sector as a substantial part of the smart city concept. Deep neural networks, Rpart regression tree and Random forest with variable reduction procedures were used to create prediction models of specific energy consumption of Croatian public sector buildings. The most accurate model was produced by Random forest method, and a comparison of important predictors extracted by all three methods has been conducted. The models could be implemented in the suggested intelligent system named MERIDA which integrates Big Data collection and predictive models of energy consumption for each energy source in public buildings, and enables their synergy into a managing platform for improving energy efficiency of the public sector within Big Data environment. The paper also discusses technological requirements for developing such a platform that could be used by public administration to plan reconstruction measures of public buildings, to reduce energy consumption and cost, as well as to connect such smart public buildings as part of smart cities. Such digital transformation of energy management can increase energy efficiency of public administration, its higher quality of service and healthier environment.  相似文献

现代奥运会技术的社会建构研究     

卫才胜 《武汉体育学院学报》2019,53(1):18-23

现代奥运会技术既不是技术自身逻辑发展决定的，也不是社会决定的，而是社会建构的结果。目前，奥运会技术在国家、体育协会、商业企业、技术专家、教练员、运动员等相关社会群体的建构下以追求效率为目标，给现代奥林匹克运动带来了困境。困境产生的根源是，目前整个奥运会技术发展的方向出现了问题。要改变这种状况，这就需要改变目前运动员在技术发展方面的弱势地位，建立以运动员为中心，通过民主协商的形式重新建构技术，推动技术朝着绿色的方向发展，从而消解技术给现代奥林匹克运动带来的困境。  相似文献

The impact of workplace information literacy on organizational innovation: An empirical study     

《International Journal of Information Management》2020

The present study investigates the relationship between CEO’s information literacy and innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Even if information literacy’s business value has been recognized in recent literature, its impact on organizational innovation, a critical and strongly information intensive process, has never been studied before. Structural equation modeling based analysis of data collected from 184 company CEOs in Finland revealed that CEOs’ information literacy has a positive impact on the development of exploratory and exploitative innovations in SMEs. Additionally, opportunity recognition mediates the relationship between information literacy and innovation. Overall, the influence of information literacy is slightly stronger on exploitation than exploration. Nevertheless, the mutual positive effect suggests that information literacy enhances innovation ambidexterity in organizations. Based on these findings, we discuss theoretical and practical implications as well as future research opportunities in workplace information literacy research.  相似文献
