Authors: Andrews Carolyn , Motz Benjamin , Israel Jamie , Leary Heather
Published: September 2020

This exploratory study aimed to investigate the characteristics of students who opted-in to use Boost, an automated student support mobile app and compare characteristics of non-Boost users.  Boost is a mobile app that integrates with the Learning Management System (Canvas) and provides support services aimed at improving student behavior and success.  At the start of the Spring 2019 semester at Indiana University, instructors were invited to opt-in for Boost to be available to their classes. Instructors who opted-in invited their students to use Boost. Our multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) compared those who opted-in for automated support with those who did not (n=158 courses).  Findings reveal that opt-ins were more likely to be Asian, International, and despite having higher college entrance exam scores and being farther along in their studies, opt-ins were slightly lower performing than their peers who did not opt-in.  A profile of Boost users will help university administration, student support services, and instructors make data-informed decisions on optimal use of Boost.

Młodzież w świecie uprzedmiotowionej seksualności. Wyzwanie moralno-duszpasterskie dla Kościoła
Authors: Szczodry Marcin
Published: September 2020

Sfera seksualna jest ważną sferą życia, a czas młodości to czas odkrywania jej tajników, uczenia się jej, integrowania w kontekście całej osobowości. Seksualność człowieka, jako dar wpisany w naturę stworzenia, jest czymś dobrym i chcianym przez Stwórcę. Zadaniem Kościoła jest ukazywać piękno tego daru i przedstawiać światu chrześcijańską wizję seksualności, która człowieka nie ogranicza i nie zubaża, ale wydobywa z niego to, co najwartościowsze. Artykuł jest próbą podjęcia istotnego pytania o kontekst kulturowy, społeczny, cywilizacyjny, w którym odbywa się nauczanie Kościoła. Na podstawie najnowszych badań socjologicznych ukazano obraz współczesnego pokolenia polskiej młodzieży oraz jej świat wartości. Przedstawiono wybrane zjawiska we współczesnej kulturze, w których widoczne jest uprzedmiotowienie ludzkiej seksualności. Naszkicowano wyzwania, przed jakimi stoi Kościół, chcący wejść w świat młodych, wskazując, na co powinien zwrócić uwagę w swojej praktyce duszpastersko-moralnej.
The Moroccan Monarchy and the Construction of Social Representations
Authors: Marouan Blaiha , Oughlane El Houcine
Published: September 2020

This article argues that the Moroccan monarchy’s past political projects seek to perpetuate social representations and monarchial rituals. Moreover, the monarchy started with primitive strategies such as radical repression to maintain these representations. Meanwhile, through socio-historical changes, the Moroccan monarchy has been remarkably dynamic in adapting to the new social realities. This explains why the monarchy has reconstructed social representations. Thus, the resilience of the monarchy is not only due to its authoritative features, but in fact, due to the cultural foundations of authoritative relationships that exist in the Moroccan society as well.
Perspectivas de humanización en la educación actual. ¿Humaniza hoy la educación escolar?
Authors: Arias Murillo Francisco Antonio
Published: September 2020

El artículo parte del valor que tiene la educación en el proceso de socialización de los grupos humanos; plantea lo humano como el sine qua non del proceso educativo tendente al reconocimiento del hombre como el ser de mayor significatividad en el mundo. Se acompaña de una revisión bibliográfica reciente entorno a la responsabilidad social de la escuela y la ciudadanía en el proceso educativo de las nuevas generaciones, haciendo hincapié en que esta es una realidad problemática en la que se juega y se disputa el poder, hecho que es evidente en el nivel de intervención que sobre la educación ejerce el Estado, quien está más interesado por lo puntual e inmediato. La preocupación se centra en saber si la educación responde a las condiciones sociales y culturales de nuestros pueblos, necesitadas de procesos de humanización, o si por el contrario se funda en propuestas foráneas que inducen a un desconocimiento de nuestras posibilidades efectivas de desarrollo.

Published: September 2020

AT the United Nations (UN) General Assembly held in September 2000, all 191 member states unanimously adopted an action plan aimed at reducing the global poverty level by half by 2015 (using the 1990 level as a reference). The action plan promised to reduce the proportions of the world’s population with a daily income of less than one US dollar and those who suffer from hunger by half by the end of 2015, and to reduce the proportion of people who cannot obtain or afford safe drinking water by the same date. It aimed to ensure that by the same date, children from all over the world, regardless of gender, can complete all elementary school courses, and that boys and girls have equal opportunities to receive all levels of education. The action plan also promised to spare no effort to help more than one billion men, women and children around the world get rid of the miserable and indignant state of extreme poverty, and eventually realize the right of individual development, so that all mankind can avoid the situation of lacking.

Clusterization of reasons for bankruptcy of enterprises
Authors: Giriūnas Lukas , Mackevičius Jonas , Valkauskas Romualdas
Published: September 2020

Bankruptcies of enterprises are among the most common events in the market economy. They cause a lot of negative effects not only for the company and its employees, but also for other companies and institutions, the state and society.

Although the researchers have examined the reasons for bankruptcy, there is no list of the signs clearly indicating the likelihood of bankruptcy. Or such list is impossible due to the fact that causes of bankruptcy are related to the complex and constantly changing external environment of the company. That is why various features are only the symptoms pointing to the fact that the company is in danger of going bankrupt. It should be mentioned that some signs indicate that the company may face a number of difficulties, including bankruptcy, if the company’s management will not take appropriate action to eliminate causes of bankruptcy or to adjust to them. Reasons for bankruptcy can be divided into: 1) internal, 2) external. External reasons are such reasons that cannot be affected by company’s executives because they do not depend on the executives’ will. Internal reasons are such reasons that depend on the company’s executives and their level of professionalism, initiative, and ability to lead and to make the right decisions. In order to take the lowest risk, company’s analysts should monitor and investigate all internal and external causes. As it has been already mentioned, there are many internal and external reasons for companies’ bankruptcy but it is not clear which are the most important ones. To answer this question the authors of this article, on the basis of Lithuanian and foreign scientific research, have compiled a theoretical list and the tree of the internal and external causes of bankruptcy. The tree and its components are improved with clusters of reasons for bankruptcy of enterprises.

The transition of Candida albicans from yeast to hyphae cause the attachment to epithelial cells, forming biofilm and invasion. Therefore, the effect of Pediococcus acidilactici on morphogenesis and pathogenesis of C. albicans were examined. Inhibitory activity of P. acidilactici on Candida species growth was investigated and inhibition of C. albicans biofilm formation was measured by XTT method. Also, expression of seven genes as: Agglutinin-like protein 1 (ALS1,3), hyphal cell-wall protein (HWP1), secreted aspartyl proteinase (SAP4,6), Enhanced filamentous growth 1 (EFG1) and Enhanced activated protein 1 (EAP1) were studied by RT-PCR with different concentrations of P. acidilactici. The experimental activity of this probiotic bacterium was evaluated in an animal model by culture and histopathological methods.  P. acidilactici inhibited the growth of Candida species at concentrations of 8-512 µg/mL (approximately 8 × 106 to 5 × 108 CFU/ml). This probiotic bacterium inhibited the germ tube and biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner. RT-PCR analysis showed a reduction in genes expression. The P. acidilactici reduced the CFUs in mice receiving this probiotic bacterium. Histopathological analyses showed that Candida colonization was diminished in mice following the administration of probiotic. Since the wide range of antifungal activity of this bacterium bacterium, it can be used to manage oral candidiasis.
Identity and category construction of the sengyoshufu (‘househusband’) in Japanese TV shows
Authors: Fukuda Chie
Published: September 2020

This study illustrates the discursive construction of the househusband in Japanese TV shows as a situated gender practice. Although the category of sengyoshufu ‘househusband’ has existed since at least the 1980s in Japan, the dominance of the ideology of ‘salaryman masculinity’ has ensured its marginalisation. The recent emergence of the househusband as a topic in mainstream media discourse reflects a social change in the gendered division of labour in Japan. Employing conversation analysis and membership categorisation analysis, this study explores how participants in TV shows constitute the identity and category of househusband, drawing on verbal and embodied resources in interaction. Through this analysis, the study reveals both positive and covertly negative attitudes towards househusbands, suggesting that the ‘traditional’ gendered division of labour in Japan is in transition.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in the management and evaluation of patients with epilepsy. It is important that structural MRI scans are optimally acquired and carefully reviewed by trained experts within the context of all available clinical data. The aim of this review is to discuss the essentials of MRI that will be useful to health care providers specialized in epilepsy, as outlined by the competencies and learning objectives of the recently developed ILAE curriculum. This review contains information on basic MRI principles, sequences, field strengths and safety, when to perform and repeat an MRI, epilepsy MRI protocol (HARNESS‐MRI) and the basic reading guidelines, and common epileptic pathologies. More advanced topics such as MRI‐negative epilepsy, functional MRI and diffusion‐weighted imaging are also briefly discussed. Although the available resources can differ markedly across different centers, it is the hope that this review can provide general guidance in the everyday practice of using MRI for patients with epilepsy.

EVALUATION OF LEPTIN LEVEL AND VITAMIN D RELATIONSHIP IN OBESE PATIENTS
Authors: ŞAHİN İbrahim Ethem , ALPAY Merve
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Adipocyte-induced hormone leptin, nutrition and energy play an important role in homeostasis. Leptin regulates central or peripheral complex biological effects through its receptors. The mechanisms linking obesity and associated leptin resistance remain largely unclear. Also noncalcaemic effects of Vit D, perspective role is played on hormonal regulation of glucose metabolism and synthesis of adipokines by fat tissue. The aim of our study is to show the role of vitamin D levels on obesity and the activity of leptin levels during Vitamin D differentiation on obese patients. Material and Methods: 40 obese and healthy patients were included this research to analyze Vit D levels. While seen low-Vit D level in individuals, 4 weeks Vit D treatment has been completed. Whole experimental groups were taken blood for leptin measurement. Results: Our findings were indicated that leptin expression was decreased when vitamin D level in low. However, during vitamin D uptake, leptin levels in obese patients were increased correlated to deficiency. That means, leptin is known significant marker to detect obesity which has direct relation with Vitamin D level. Conclusion: These results highlight that reduction serum Vit D levels leads to improved leptin sensitivity. Future clinical trials should be tested Vit D alteration might be diagnostic factor for obesity treatment to leptin secretion.

Exercise-induced hearth muscle adaptation is important for physiological process after exercise. This adaptation will ensure basal mitochondrial homeostasis and as a part of the mitochondria quality control. This process is reflected by equal level of biogenesis stimulation and as well as the selective degradation of old and undesirable mitochondria through fusion or fission cycle and Mitophagy. There is limited information about genetic regulation stimulated by training in cardiomyocytes. We believe there is a specific myokines or protein release in the serum and initiate cardiac muscle adaptation process. In the present study, twelve male wistar rats were appointed to two group: sedentary control and aerobic-intensity (AE, 15m/minute). Rats were trained for running with specific protocol as follows: 30 minutes/day with a 5 times/week interval for 8 weeks. On the last day, serum form control and exercise groups were taken via retro-orbital sinus. Then, 3.105  H9C2 cells (Rat cardiomyocytes cell line)  were cultured and incubated by this serum for 24 hours. After treatment, cell were extracted using trisure for RNA purification and continue with reverse transcriptase PCR. Our data showed that expression of the Pgc-1α, Mfn1, Mfn2, Opa1, Drp1, Pink, and Parkin genes were altered and modulated. Specifically, Mfn1, Mfn2, and Opa1 gene expression levels significantly increased. Interestingly, we did not find significant modulation for  Pgc-1α, Drp1, Pink, and Parkin. Taken together, serum of exercise rats might be contained with myokines or specific protein which was released during training and it altered mitochondrial genes expression in cardiomyocytes culture cell. We believe that myokines release in the serum had a contribution in cardiacmyocyte adaptation.
Neurotracker Training to Improve The Archery Athlete Concentration
Authors: Komarudin K , Sagitarius S , Sartono Hadi , Awaludin Patriana Nurmansyah
Published: September 2020

Neurotracker is a 3D technology with Multiple Object Tracking (MOT). This technology has not been developed in Indonesia. Meanwhile, developed countries have implemented this technology in sport training, including in archery sport. In archery sport, the athletes are required to concentrate every time they perform a technique and to be fast and accurate in making a decision when aiming and releasing the arrows.  The problem usually occurs during shooting is that the athlete doubts in aiming and releasing the arrows, thus the shooting result does not hit the target. It is caused by the athlete’s doubt and the lack of concentration. To overcome the problem, a neurotracker training is important to be conducted in every training process to improve the athletes’ concentration. The method used in this study was an experimental method. The samples were 20 persons chosen in a non-random sampling. The subjects were divided into two groups through a random assignment, thus the number of subject in each group was ten persons. The instrument to measure the concentration was the Concentration Grid Test. The design of the study was pretest-posttest control group design. To analyze the data, t-test was used. The result of the study showed that (1) there was a significant effect of the NeuroTracker training on the improvement of the archery athlete’s concentration, (2) there was a significant effect of conventional training on the improvement of archery athlete’s concentration, (3) there was a significant difference of effect between the NeuroTracker training and conventional training in the improvement of the archery athlete’s concentration. The NeuroTracker training was better than a conventional training in increasing the archery athlete’s concentration. It is suggested that the archery trainers implement the NeuroTracker technology in the training process as it could improve the concentration of the archery athletes.
ENVI-MET MODEL AS A TOOL FOR MODERN URBAN METEOROLOGICAL STUDIES
Authors: Matviienko M.O.
Published: September 2020

Studying the microclimate of cities is one of the areas of urban meteorology, which are actively developing recently. The research of microclimate and its dependence on building parameters is important not only for scientists but also for architects, engineers and urban planners. Because they can help make the urban environment more comfortable for living and minimize the negative impact of Urban Heat Island, which is especially important in the context of rapid urbanization and in the face of climate change, that is most often reflected in air temperatures increasing.
For modern urbanmeteorological studies traditional methods (observation method and statistical methods) cannot remain basic, so they are replaced by numerical simulation tools. One of those tools is the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which are based on the use of numerical methods to simulate the interaction between the atmosphere and the urban surface. Such approaches are gaining in popularity because of such advantages as accurate modeling of urban geometry and the high-resolution description of airflow in it; the ability to simulate the microclimate in different conditions (weather, buildings, vegetation, water bodies, etc.); numerical simulation can provide information about any researched variable in the entire simulated area.
This article describes the modern ENVI-met microclimate model as one of the most common numerical simulation tools. The model is based on the fundamental laws of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics and is able to reproduce the basic processes of interaction between the atmosphere, soil, vegetation and buildings. The model can be used to simulate microclimate conditions, bioclimatology, urban air pollution, and to identify optimal measures for urban adaptation to climate change. The paper provides an overview of studies published in peer-reviewed international journals (in the period from 1999 to the end of 2018) using the ENVI-met model, and also presents its main advantages and disadvantages. The simulation accuracy of the ENVI-met model is analyzed by comparing the simulated data with the measured one.
ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF INVESTIGATIONS OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ON RIVER WATER FLOW
Authors: Bolbot Hanna , Grebin Vasyl
Published: September 2020

A huge number of scientific researches in the world are devoted to the research of global and regional climate change and their impact on water resources. In Ukraine, this issue is receiving insufficient attention. Researches have been done to assess current trends in river runoff, but future estimates of changes in Ukraine’s water flow have been presented in only a few papers. Present studies of this issue are conducted using hydrological modeling. The ensemble approach is widely used to increase the reliability of estimates of possible future changes in water runoff, that is, the use of data from several GCM and RCM models, with subsequent averaging of their results. Unfortunately, this methodological approach was not used in Ukraine. Using the water-balance method, local manifestations of global climate change within individual catchments can be estimated with sufficient quality. To estimate the temporal variability of the components of the water balance, a comparison of the available hydrological and climatic characteristics of the current period with the period of the climatic norm is used, as well as the method of differential integral curves, which reflects characteristic tendencies in the long-term dynamics of individual components of the water balance. Analyzing all available approaches to research on the impact of climate change on water flow, we can conclude that a complex method is the best for this investigation. Given that a large number of methods are used in the world, reliable estimates can be obtained by developing unified and validated methods and techniques. Therefore, the first step in this way should be a comparative analysis of the results obtained by the most commonly used methods. In the field of water, climate change can lead to changes in rainfall, hydrodynamic regime and water balance of rivers, increase of catastrophic floods and excessive drought, shortage of fresh water. Unfortunately, there is insufficient attention paid to the study of this issue in Ukraine. That is why assessing the impact of climate change on water flow and forecasting them is a very necessary task.
When Design Principles Do Not Apply: The Role of Individual Commitment and “Voluntarism” in Maintaining Communal Water Supply in Northern Kunene, Namibia
Authors: Menestrey Schwieger Diego Augusto
Published: September 2020

Blueprints resembling Ostrom’s (1990) design principles have been used in Namibia’s northern Kunene to instruct pastoral communities in managing boreholes in their localities. However, these blueprints are only marginally adopted by local agents, and consequently, Ostrom’s design principles do not fully apply. Water shortages are not the immediate outcome of these circumstances as, due to the individual commitment of mostly young men, communal water supply is maintained, especially in emergency cases. By drawing on aspects from the anthropology of ethics and human behavioral ecology, this paper offers an explanation as to why these individuals “volunteer” to keep the pumps running in their communities. It discusses whether rules and sanctions in the Ostromian sense are the only drivers for people to commit themselves to others and the common good.

“Lip-Sync for Your Life” (Abroad)
Authors: Barra Luca , Brembilla Paola , Rossato Linda , Spaziante Lucio
Published: September 2020

The article aims to critically explore and understand the ways both RuPaul’s star persona and its program, RuPaul’s Drag Race, are distributed in Italy, circulate across, and impact on the Italian television industry and media culture, it also aims to show how many forms of national mediation, professional negotiation and audience reception deeply modify, and re-shape the TV product. To tackle the manifold facets of this case, four aspects will be analyzed: (trans)national distribution; adaptation and dubbing; global/local stardom; reception and cultural impact. Over a decade, the Italian edition and distribution of the show have changed, together with the national media landscape and its audiences.
When German Series Go Global
Authors: Krauß Florian
Published: September 2020

The article takes a closer look at the current industry discourse on the transnational circulation of German series. At its centre is a case study of the 1980s period drama Deutschland (2015-2020), based on interviews with key executives and creatives. What is it that makes such ready-made TV fiction go transnational, according to the involved practitioners and in this specific case? Textual factors in particular are examined, such as the thematic and aesthetic extension of the historical-political ‘event’ miniseries through Deutschland. Furthermore, the article explores factors in respect to production, including screenwriting and financing, in the context of the dynamic TV landscape in Germany and Europe.
Transnational Television Distribution and Co-Production Challenges
Authors: Torre Paul
Published: September 2020

This article explores the production and distribution process for television co-productions and explains the potential benefits and risks compared to other media joint ventures, like television formatting. Using a detailed case study of one television series within a larger co-production agreement between a German rights trader and a Hollywood studio, the author analyzes production and distribution challenges and complex contractual arrangements within the context of global media trade. Co-productions are situated in between, and as a transition from, acquiring rights to canned television programs, and acquiring rights to television formats. The author contends that a range of difficulties in co-productions has contributed to a turn to television formatting, where the production process is more easily controlled and customized by the partner acquiring the property, leading to more predictable and successful distribution outcomes.
The Curated TV Experience with ‘Value Added’
Authors: Longden Kenneth
Published: September 2020

Canned TV has been a television industry practice almost from the start of television itself and was a way in which local/nationally-produced television programmes gained extra revenue by travelling, under licence, around the world. As well as providing extra revenue, this process also provided, often unintentionally, various opportunities for branding – both at the broadcaster level and at the national level. However, using Channel 4’s OD platform, Walter Presents, this essay will consider the state of canned TV in more contemporary terms related to global and transnational ideas where television in general, and canned TV in particular, describe a transformed media culture.
Canned Adaptations and International Success of Turkish TV
Authors: Zorlu Deniz
Published: September 2020

This article examines Turkish TV series’ recent success as canned programming primarily in newly developed and developing countries in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East, South Asia, and South America through close textual analysis of a particularly popular Turkish adaptation, Bizim Hikaye (Our Story) (2017–2019) in comparison with its original, Shameless (2011–). I argue that Turkish series’ emphasis on nostalgic and melancholic narrative frames make them particularly appealing in these regions, as they deal with relatable circumstances of swift and traumatic changes under neoliberalism. However, female protagonists are allowed only a limited range of roles because of the reliance on nostalgia, thus, ultimately serving to re-legitimize patriarchal relations of domination.
DEVELOPMENT OF PASSIVE ENERGY SOURCE AS EARTH AIR PIPE HEAT EXCHANGERS (EAPHE) SYSTEM - A REVIEW
Authors: VERMA Mahendra , BANSAL Vikas , RANA Kunj
Published: September 2020

Diversity in living standards and population growth leads to increased global energy consumption. Human comfort always plays a vital role in using different means to reduce the effects of weather conditions. The building sector captures approximately 40% of the global energy and it is most commonly used for cooling and for heating of the space occupied due to the use of appliances such as room heaters or air coolers, air conditioners, etc. The use of these appliances contributes significantly to global warming, which is a very serious environmental problem. Passive energy sources are used widely to reduce the consumption of energy due to heating and cooling of the building. Earth air pipe heat exchanger is one of the passive cooling/ heating technology used for the indoor thermal comfort of the occupants. In this review article, various discussion has been done on the use of passive energy explained by the earth air pipe heat exchanger and various investigations conducted by authors under different conditions and parameters like air velocity, pipe depth, pipe length, etc. that the thermal conductivity of the soil is the key point to the efficient operation of the earth air pipe heat exchanger system and it is also necessary to maintain the thermal conductivity of the soil in the vicinity of the pipe in order to achieve better performance in operation.

Reporter vectors are very often used to investigate mechanisms responsible for regulation of promoter activity. Since their first generation, many new variants were constructed to increase sensitivity and reduce background signal. However, these tools are still imperfect and can generate false results. We have found that depending on the backbone of the reporter vector, pGL3 or pGL2, different results are obtained for a eukaryotic promoter’s activation by metabolic changes. These observations were done in the course of investigation of the MMP2 (matrix metalloproteinase-2) promoter regulation in response to inhibition of glycolysis.

Published: September 2020

Objetivo: Identificar perfis de orientação ao consumo de slow fashion, verificando os fatores associados aos diferentes perfis.Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo survey com 461 consumidores de vestuário do Estado do Ceará. Utilizou-se de um questionário com questões de perfil do respondente, além de uma seção dedicada à mensuração da orientação ao consumo de slow fashion, por meio da escala de Jin e Jung (2014). Foram utilizados métodos de análise descritiva, análise fatorial exploratória (AFE), análise de cluster por k-means e análise de correspondência (ANACOR).Principais Resultados: Os resultados indicam validade da escala no contexto desta pesquisa. Verificou-se a existência de três perfis de orientação: alta orientação, orientação parcial, e averso à exclusividade. Ainda, observou-se que existe associação entre os diferentes perfis e as variáveis demográficas relacionadas à localização, renda, faixa etária, orientação sexual, escolaridade, estado civil e ocupação.Relevância/originalidade: Estudos sobre slow fashion ainda carecem de informações sobre quem são os seus potenciais consumidores e quais são os seus perfis. Este estudo visa preencher esse gap da literatura. Esta pesquisa é relevante teoricamente por estudar o slow fashion e seus potenciais consumidores no Brasil e, do ponto de vista gerencial, pelo crescente número de marcas brasileiras seguindo o conceito de slow fashion.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Como contribuição teórica, estende o corpo de conhecimento sobre perfis de potenciais consumidores de slow fashion.Contribuições sociais / para a gestão (opcional): As implicações gerenciais dizem respeito ao fornecimento de informações que possam contribuir para o planejamento de mercadológico e posicionamento de marca eficiente e direcionado a esses potenciais consumidores.

Given the increasing pressure higher education institutions are facing, collaboration is key to increase capacity to address competing demands. The professional development (PD) of academic staff has been identified as one of the key priority areas in the modernisation of Higher Education to support them to cope with growing numbers, more diverse student groups and a dynamic environment. There is a need for a flexible approach to PD that leverages from formal and informal approaches to allow academic staff to upskill while practicing. Many Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) are collaborating in this area to exchange best practice and increase the PD activities they offer to their staff. However, each HEI has different strategies, cultures and institutional needs. To allow them to collaborate they need to develop a shared vision in the area of PD. This paper discusses the FLEXIpath project in which three HEIs are collaborating to extend their PD provision to enhance academic practice. It explores the role of a visual modelling approach, (specifically the OOFAT model), in facilitating the development of a shared roadmap for the provision of collaborative PD through negotiation and scaffolded discussion.
