This paper highlights the southwest Asian country of Georgia's experience in creating efforts to protect and promote breastfeeding and to implement the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. Since 1994, the country of Georgia (of the former Soviet Union) has successfully implemented the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative. In 1997-1998, Georgia conducted a study throughout the country's various regions to evaluate compliance with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. The research demonstrated numerous violations of the code by various companies and confirmed the necessity of ongoing activities to promote implementation of the code. Due to the great effort of Georgia's Ministry of Health and the International Baby-Food Action Network [IBFAN] Georgian group called "Claritas," the law titled "On Protection and Promotion of Breastfeeding and Regulation of Artificial Feeding" was adopted in 1999 by the country's parliament. As a result, Georgia has witnessed a sharp increase in breastfeeding percentages, the designation of baby-friendly status at 14 maternity houses, and a decrease in the advertisement of artificial-feeding products. 相似文献

The study used the data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study data set to observe the characteristics
of international students in their first-year in college and examine the factors that influenced their persistence in U.S.
postsecondary institutions. Results from logistic regression analysis revealed that GPA, degree plans, and academic integration
were positively related to persistence of international students, while remediation in English and social integration had
the negative effects on their persistence outcome. The results of the study signal the importance of encouraging collaboration
between offices of international student services and other academic departments or support services on campus. The retention
of international students should not be viewed as the responsibility of only international student advisors. Instead, it should
become a joint responsibility of faculty, academic advisors, English language program staff, and student affairs professionals
on campus. 相似文献

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact that Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is having
on the professional worklives of international student and scholar advisors (ISSAs) on U.S. college and university campuses.
ISSAs are clearly satisfied with their work and hold their institutions in high regard. However, SEVIS is having a profound
effect on their morale, satisfaction, and their likelihood to leave the field. That is, SEVIS (i.e., reporting, training,
time) and the quality of worklife (i.e., professional activities and career development, recognition for competence and their
expertise, external and intra-department relationships, perceptions of discrimination) are important to ISSAs, and thus have
a strong effect on their level of satisfaction and/or morale, and their subsequent intentions to stay or leave their career/profession. 相似文献

The study examined the differences between international and U.S. citizen faculty members’ productivity in the areas of research,
graduate and undergraduate teaching, and service at research universities in the United States. Utilizing the 2004 National
Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:04) data set, we used a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to address the primary research
questions in the study. The results indicated that international faculty members were significantly more productive in research,
but less productive in teaching and service than their U.S. citizen colleagues. The study can potentially aid policymakers
and university administrators to not only better serve and support international faculty members but also to fully utilize
them as a resource that benefits the institution and the students in all functions of their work and not just in research. 相似文献

For this study we used the 2011–2014 survey data collected by the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education to examine the degree of international faculty members’ satisfaction with autonomy, interactions with colleagues, departmental climate, and recognition and the effect of these elements upon the overall workplace satisfaction of international faculty members relative to their U.S. citizen peers. This study helps identify factors that can enhance international faculty members’ satisfaction in order to aid institutions in their efforts not only to recruit the best talent but also to support and retain such talent. 相似文献

This case study research project examined efforts at three member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU), all located in the southern United States, to increase faculty diversity. The study also explored how these efforts related to institutional mission and what aspects within the history of evangelicalism were perceived to promote or hinder the hiring of diverse faculty at these institutions. The study participants consisted of eleven faculty members, seven administrators, and two students from the three case study universities, and one administrator from the main office of the CCCU. Data were analyzed from a combination of personal interviews, observations, field notes, documents, and textual analysis, resulting in the identification of themes related to faculty diversity. Although these institutions had made great strides in diversity efforts, the study findings revealed that more intentional and systematic processes need to be established in order to increase faculty diversity. Given that faculty diversity efforts can be enhanced by implementing better recruitment and retention strategies, the discussion section highlights initiatives that have been effective at these universities, including the active pursuit of faculty of color and the purposeful management of mentorship programs. 相似文献

Faculty members in higher education institutions frequently have the responsibility of providing service activities to their institutions, professional societies, and external communities. This responsibility, however, generally carries little reward in the workplace and does not play a major role in promotion criteria. For the study we report here we drew upon a sample of 4,400 research university faculty members to explore their satisfaction with service roles by academic rank. Findings showed that mid-career faculty members at the associate professor rank were significantly less satisfied with their service functions, including workload, equity, work balance, recognition, and institutional support, when compared with both assistant and full professors. 相似文献

Foreign-born women faculty work roles and productivity at research universities in the United States
Ketevan Mamiseishvili 《Higher Education》2010,60(2):139-156
Using the data from the 2004 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:04) survey, the study examined foreign-born women
faculty members’ work roles and productivity in the areas of teaching, research, and service in comparison with their US-born
counterparts at research universities in the US. The findings provided some evidence to suggest that foreign-born women faculty
members’ patterns of engagement in work activities contradicted the gendered division of labor in academia. The findings indicated
that foreign-born female academics were significantly more engaged in research that was evident in the number of scholarly
outputs they produced compared to US-born women faculty colleagues. On the other hand, they seemed to be less involved in
teaching and service functions of their work than their US-born women peers. The study could serve as a good starting point
to further examine foreign-born women faculty socialization into faculty roles and their academic work culture. 相似文献
