Access by Part-Time Students: A Question of Openness in Canadian Universities
Authors: Thompson Gordon , Devlin Larry
Published: April 2021

Canadian universities employ a variety of methods to increase access, especially for adult students unable to attend regular day classes because of employment or family commitments. How effective are such methods? Is the large increase in part-time enrolment during the past twenty-five years due to such policies and practices? This study examines the evening credit programs of seven middle-size to large universities. Such programs can be viewed as one specific method by which institutions attempt to implement the general organizational value of "openness. " In particular, an effort is made to trace the effect on access of two different approaches to the internal organization and administration of evening sessions at the institutions studied. Policies and practices which facilitate part-time study are also discussed. The paper is exploratory and does not attempt to offer definitive conclusions. Nonetheless, suggestions are offered for further research and for institutional practices which promote part-time study. The issue of accessibility for part-time students is expected to become of increasing concern in the light of predictions that the traditional student body — those 18-22 years old who predominantly register for full-time study in daytime courses — will decline in the 1990s. Additionally, universities will be required to accommodate large numbers of adult learners returning for further studies and training as a lifelong learn- ing or recurrent education model is developed by society. The importance of such a model continues to receive attention at both federal and provincial levels in Canada.
Public Support for University Funding: Trends and Determinants in Ontario, 1980-1990
Authors: Hart Doug , Livingstone D. W.
Published: April 2021

This paper examines trends in public support for government funding of universities over the past decade, identifies significant social factors related to attitudes on university funding during this period, and briefly discusses possible future tendencies in public support for university funding. Growing public support for increased university funding in Ontario is documented. A variety of types of potential influences is assessed, including societal context, socio-economic status, demographic and political orientation factors. Age, educational attainment, and community size, as well as support for general government spending, are found to have significant individual-level effects on support for university funding. Multi-variate analyses suggest a growing isolation of older, less formally educated and rural people as opponents of increased university funding. The implications of these patterns in the context of an aging but increasingly educated population are then considered.
Cost Determinants in Canadian Universities
Authors: Dickson Vaughan
Published: April 2021

The relationship between costs per student and enrollment is examined with regression analysis for 61 Canadian universities for the academic year 1986-87. This relationship is explored for overall costs and for sub-components including instruction, library, computing, administration and physical plant costs. Also examined is the influence on cost per student of student mix, student-faculty ratios, faculty wages and research intensity. Among the conclusions are that economies of scale apply to Canadian universities and costs per student are positively related to faculty salaries, faculty research intensity and the proportion of students in graduate programs and scientific disciplines.

Philosophy-in-Action in University Teaching
Authors: Scott Sue M. , Chovanec Donna M. , Young Beth
Published: April 2021

Fourteen professors expressed their "traditional," "humanist," and "critical" philosophies about teaching and learning when they engaged in dialogue with us and each other. The relationship between their philosophy of teaching and their practice in the classroom is the research question. Four themes that elaborate these philosophies-in-action emerged from a grounded-theory approach to data analysis. One theme, "Expert vs. Co-learner" describes these professors' views of themselves as teachers. A second theme, "The Relationship of Comfort to Critique, " outlines some of the tensions that arise from attempting to create a comfortable classroom environment while also encouraging critical thought. "Learning for Change, " the third theme, is about the differing forms of change in the learner that these professors seek as evidence that learning is taking place. Finally, in the section called "Coping with Constraints, " our study participants identify institutional issues that have made it difficult for them to enact their particular teaching-learning philosophies in university classes.
Graduate student supervision policies and procedures: A case study of issues and factors affecting graduate study
Authors: Donald Janet G. , Saroyan Alenoush , Denison D. Brian
Published: April 2021

This study was designed to identify salient issues in supervision across disciplines at a Canadian research university with a history of decentralized administration of graduate programs. Three sets of issues guided the inquiry: (a) the definition of supervision, (b) policies and procedures for supervision, and (c) the resources available for supervision. Although most departments reported having some form of policies and procedures, they did not tend to be explicitly stated or communicated. According to program directors, the two most important factors in the graduate supervision process were the supervisor's knowledge of the research field and his or her availability. There was considerable variability across faculties in the existence of policies and in the importance attached to different factors. Resources also varied greatly across disciplines. One conclusion of the study is that since the process of supervision is complex and occurs within a disciplinary context, much of the effort involved in enhancing the quality of graduate student supervision must be made at the department level. However, a comprehensive definition of graduate student supervision is needed to ensure that, where possible, there is common ground for graduate student supervision policy and practice.

Ghosts in a Wilderness: Problems and Priorities of Faculty at Mid-Career and Mid-Life
Authors: Karpiak Irene E.
Published: April 2021

This article explores the experiences of mid-career, older faculty members in higher education through a qualitative study of 20 associate professors (15 men and 5 women) between the ages of 41 and 59 at a Canadian university. The study was undertaken to explore how university faculty experience the mid-career and mid-life period in their academic and community work, their personal and family relationships, and their sense of self. The findings focus on a variety of issues revealed in this sample group: the undervalue of teaching as a vocation, noncaring university administrators, rejection in career progression, external personal relationships, impediments to research, failing health, adapting to change, and the question of self-knowledge. While acknowledging several limitations of the study, the perspective of adult development theory points to the potential for greater integration of personality on the part of faculty members, and for its recognition on the part of administrators in fostering a more humanizing, responsive, and caring environment for the conduct of teaching and research. The recognition of significant differences between younger and older faculty, and how the genuine problems facing the latter group may be addressed, will contribute to enhancing the quality of university life generally.
Stratégies d'adaptation des organismes subventionnaires en sciences humaines et sociales au Canada et au Québec aux compressions budgétaires gouvernementales
Authors: Albert Mathieu
Published: April 2021

La présente étude vise à évaluer dans quelle mesure deux aspects de la stratégie déployée par les organismes subventionnaires (OS) canadiens et québécois en sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) pour faire face aux compressions budgétaires gouvernementales ont atteint leurs objectifs. Plus spécifiquement, nous avons vérifié si la mise sur pied et la consolidation des programmes de recherche orientée au début des années 90 ont permis aux OS en SHS de générer des revenus additionnels à ceux octroyés par les gouvernements, et comparer ces revenus à ceux générés en sciences naturelles et génie (SNG) dans le cadre de programmes équivalents. Nous avons également vérifié dans quelle mesure les professeurs en SHS ont transformé leurs pratiques de recherche afin de répondre favorablement à l'accroissement de l'offre de subventions de recherche orientée. Les résultats suggèrent que les programmes de recherche orientée n'ont pas véritablement générés de nouveaux revenus en SHS et, qu'en fait, ces programmes ont eu pour effet d'accentuer les inégalités économiques entre les SHS et les SNG. Pour ce qui est des professeurs, ceux-ci n'ont pas véritablement modifié leur pratiques de recherche dans le but de répondre à l'offre croissante de subventions de recherche orientée.
Integrating Teaching with Other Aspects of Professorial Work: A Comparison of Experienced and Inexperienced Faculty's Role Conceptualizations
Authors: Kreber Carolin
Published: April 2021

This article reports on a study which investigated the extent to which experienced and inexperienced faculty at Canadian universities integrate their various professorial roles. How faculty conceptualize their work was explored from the perspective of Kelly's (1955) personal construct theory. Experienced faculty were found to integrate the various roles associated with professorial work more strongly than inexperienced faculty. Furthermore, when all activities associated with the teaching role were considered as a single variable, experienced faculty were found to integrate the teaching function more strongly with research and service activities than did their inexperienced peers. Further comparative analyses focussing on specific professorial activities revealed that the two groups showed the highest level of agreement in how they conceptualized the research role, but the highest level of disagreement in how they conceptualized the teaching role. The results of this repertory grid study are discussed in relation to the present culture of higher education that espouses integration of faculty roles as a goal, but at the same time allows only for little opportunity for new faculty to develop the ability to integrate. Some suggestions for the practice of faculty development are offered.
Ethics and the Academy: Lessons from Business Ethics and the Private Sector
Authors: Cragg Wesley
Published: April 2021

Most academics recognize that universities, as institutions, have an obligation to account rigorously for financial expenditures. There is less agreement about teaching and research wherein issues of autonomy and academic freedom enter the debate. Yet here too, demands for accountability are being pressed on the academy. In recent years, the demand for accountability also has been directed with considerable force to the private sector with what appear, in a number of cases, to be dramatic effects. Equally dramatic has been the extent to which the public debate and the response of the private sector to public criticism have linked issues of accountability to ethics. Of particular interest is the idea that accountability is not just a managerial, organizational or political concept. It is also a moral concept, a concept, furthermore, that is central to understanding the status and legitimacy of the modern corporation. My purpose in this paper is to explore this insight and to develop its relevance for understanding and responding to the crisis which contemporary university systems are currently experiencing. I do so not with the idea of persuading the reader that universities should be understood to be, or managed as though they were, private sector corporations. To the contrary, close study of the sort I propose should help to identify important similarities, but also key differences. Both are central to understand- ing what accountability requires for the contemporary university.
Transfer from Community College to University: Perspectives and Experiences of British Columbia Students
Authors: Andres Lesley
Published: April 2021

Through formal inter-institutional arrangements, articulated systems of postsecondary education claim to promote equality of opportunity by allowing for a seamless flow of students toward their educational and occupational goals. However, despite system wide articulation of course offerings, numerous studies indicate that the transfer experience is not unproblematic. This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study of the experiences of British Columbia university students who had transferred from community college. The central focus of this study was to portray students' experiences of the transfer process; document difficulties and successes encountered before, during, and after transfer; high- light advantages and disadvantages of transfer; and offer recommendations for improving the transfer process. In 1997, 47 indi- viduals who had transferred from one Lower Mainland Community College to one Lower Mainland University in 1996 were interviewed. The findings revealed that although the majority of students in this study support transfer as a viable and even preferable route to university degree completion, problems occur at each of the three stages of transfer as specified by Dougherty (1987). Obstacles to successful transfer by students include: difficulty gaining access to useful information; problems understanding transfer policies, practices, and procedures; and declines in GPA following transfer to university. Several recommendations for improving existing transfer policies and practices — including improving access to useful information by students; facilitating transfer through extensive coordination of transfer policies, practices, and procedures; and addressing differences in the teaching and learning experience at sending and receiving institutions — are offered to enhance successful transfer from community college to university.
Against All Odds? The Enduring Value of Liberal Education in Universities, Professions, and the Labour Market
Authors: Axelrod Paul , Anisef Paul , Lin Zeng
Published: April 2021

The humanities, the social sciences and the fine arts — the core subjects of liberal education — are at risk in Canadian universities, and the danger arises largely from the forced reorientation of higher education to assumed market needs. This paper attempts to explain why such policy shifts are occurring; it points to the continuing cultural, social and intellectual value of liberal education; and, drawing from recent and previously unreported census data, it demonstrates that liberal education produces generally positive economic benefits to the individual graduate. It concludes that policies designed to diminish the presence of liberal education in universities in favour of more supposedly "market-worthy" subjects are short-sighted and threatening to the integrity and vitality of higher education.
Promotion at Canadian Universities: The Intersection of Gender, Discipline, and Institution
Authors: Ornstein Michael , Stewart Penni , Drakich Janice
Published: April 2021

Statistics Canada’s annual census of full-time faculty at all Canadian universities, between 1984 to 1999, is used to measure the effect of gender, discipline, and institution on promotion from assistant to associate professor and from associate to full professor. Accelerated failure time models show that gender has some effect on rates of promotion, but that disciplinary and institutional variation are much greater. Generally, departments in science, engineering, and professional schools promote their faculty more rapidly, while disciplines strongly oriented to training practitioners are slowest. There is considerable variationamong institutions, but this is not strongly linked to institutional characteristics such as size and prestige. All these factors more strongly affect the length of time for promotion from associate to full professor, than for promotion from assistant to associate professor.

Nous utilisons le recensement annuel des professeures et professeurs à temps plein des universités canadiennes de Statistiques Canada (1984 à 1999) afi n de mesurer la variation du temps nécessaire à la promotion (d’adjoint à agrégé puis d’agrégé à titulaire) en fonction du sexe, de la discipline et de l’institution. Des modèles statistiques (accelerated failure time models) démontrent que le sexe a un léger effet sur la vitesse de la promotion mais que cet effet est moindre que celui de la discipline et de l’institution. Règle générale, les départements de sciences et de génie ainsi que les écoles professionnelles (médecine, droit, etc.) promeuvent plus rapidement leurs professeurs, tandis que les domaines de formation pratique (soins infi rmiers, travail social, etc.) sont plus lents. La variation entre institutions est considérable mais n’est associée ni à leur taille, ni à leur prestige. Ces deux facteurs affectent davantage la vitesse de promotion du rang de professeur adjoint à celui de professeur agrégé que la titularisation.
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and the Neo-Liberalization of Higher Education: Constructing the “Entrepreneurial Learner”
Authors: Servage Laura
Published: April 2021

This article examines the strong interest in the scholarship of teaching that has developed since Ernest Boyer introduced the idea in 1990. Although there are many benefits to be realized from a greater emphasis on teaching in higher education, the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) “movement” has been subjected to little critical scrutiny. This work, however, proposes that SoTL is inextricably tied to the entrenchment of neo-liberalization in higher education. Marshall’s (1996) notion of “busno-power,” an extension of Foucault’s thinking on governmentality, is used to demonstrate how SoTL may be viewed as a force that shapes both instructors and students into “entrepreneurial learners” who conceptualize education primarily for its use value. The article concludes with a consideration of how this eventuality may be guarded against by using Foucault’s methods to situate SoTL sociologically, and historically.
A Graduate Teaching Assistant Workshop in a Faculty of Science
Authors: Harris Dik , McEwen Laura April
Published: April 2021

This article describes the design and implementation of a workshop on teaching and learning for graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in a Faculty of Science at a major Canadian research-intensive university. The approach borrows heavily from an existing successful workshop for faculty but is tailored specifically to the needs of GTAs in science in an environment where departmental resources are largely absent. Thus, the workshop is unusual in that it finds a midpoint between centrally administered, discipline-neutral programs and those that are discipline specific. Equally, it is unusual because it was conceived, implemented, and continues to evolve through the active involvement of teaching fellows, themselves GTAs, who receive particular preparation for their role. The approach is discussed in relation to other approaches found in the literature.
La formation et l'emploi des diplômes en beaux-arts, en humanités et en sciences sociales au Canada
Authors: Farine Avigdor , Knowles Ron
Published: April 2021

L'enseignement supérieur au Canada a connu une expansion considérable durant la dernière décennie. La population étudiante croissa de 15% par an, ce qui porta la proportion du groupe d'âge 18-24 ans au post-secondaire de 10.2% en 1960-61 à 17.4% pour les hommes et de 3.3% à 9.8% pour les femmes. Parallèlement, les sommes affectées à ce niveau d'en- seignement augmentèrent de 20% par an. Au Québec, par exemple, tandis que le P.N.B. augmentait de 8.6% par an et que les effectifs étudiants progressaient de 13%, les dépenses de fonctionnement de l'enseignement supérieur ont crû de 23.5% par an. Le coût de cet enseignement et une situation économique difficile nous amènent à revoir la question de la formation et l'emploi. Dans cet article nous allons nous limiter aux diplômés en beaux-arts, en humanités et en sciences sociales au Canada, ayant traité ailleurs des autres grands groupes de la main-d'oeuvre hautement qualifiée (MHQ). Les données de l'enquête post-censitaire sur la MHQ menée par Statistique Canada en 1973 pour le ministère d'Etat aux sciences et à la technologie servent de base à notre travail.
La qualité de l'enseignement universitaire: Essai d'approche systématique
Authors: Leibu Ygal
Published: April 2021

A force de l'invoquer à tort et à travers, à force de l'utiliser pour justifier les actions les plus contradictoires dans les contextes les plus divers, la notion de qualité de l'enseignement s'est progressivement galvaudée, à l'instar de tant d'autres concepts surchargés de significa- tion. Si bien qu 'aujourdhui on ne peut retirer de cette notion que ce qu 'on y met au départ. En d'autres termes, il semble nécessaire, pour redonner un sens univoque à cette notion, de la dégager d'abord de la gangue d'artifices et de parti-pris qui l'entourent, que ce soit ouvertement ou par omission. Cela revient à dire qu 'il faut aborder cette notion complexe de façon à couvrir la majeure partie sinon la totalité des aspects qu 'elle implique. C'est là l'objectif premier du texte. D'autre part, on se propose également d'y montrer qu'il y a place, dans les universités, au-delà de pétitions de principe et d'affirmations impossibles à prouver, pour la mise en oeuvre de processus tangibles d'appréciation de la qualité des activités d'enseignements, ainsi que des programmes d'études courants ou nouveaux.
Evaluation of a Training Course for University Teachers
Authors: Rothman A. I. , Robinson Sarah
Published: April 2021

This report describes the evaluation of a training course for university teachers offered by the University Teaching Methods Unit of the University of London Institute of Education. The procedures used required the collection of information from the course participants at the conclusion of the course and again after a four month interval. A post course ques- tionnaire asked the participants to assess the success of the course in achieving its stated objectives and to indicate the extent to which the course's scheduled activities contributed to the achievement of the course objectives. Cross tabulation of the results of the two lines of questions identified which course activities contributed to the achievement of specific objectives. The data collected four months later indicated the extent to which and in what areas participants felt the course did have significant impact on their teaching behaviours.
University Transfer Programs in the Community College
Authors: Dennison John D.
Published: April 2021

During recent years, the increasing public demand for community college programs which lead to immediate employment has created something of an "identity crisis "for college faculty in British Columbia. Orginally, the college concept in this province reflected a comprehensive curriculum with a major emphasis upon academic programs which provide the student with transfer credit to the universities. However, comment in the public press and statements from the Ministry of Education indicate that the academic programs are very much out of favor and perhaps should be relegated to the universities. In view of the uncertainty which this situation has produced, it seemed important to take a new look at the college academic - transfer programs in 1977. The study which followed produced several important facts. Despite rumour to the contrary, enrollment in college academic programs has not declined over the past five years, but has remained at approximately 65%. The percentage of university transfer students actually transferring from colleges to universities has reached 16%, although there is considerable variation among the individual colleges. Studies indicate that only about half of the university transfer students actually " i n t e n d " to transfer to university. Obviously, many students in the university transfer programs are interested in general education or merely exploring their capacity or interest in academic study. At the University of British Columbia, the percentage of under- graduate students who have transferred from colleges has grown from 9% in 1969 to 18% in 1976. The majority of these students are successful in obtaining a university degree. Finally, it should be stated that the term "university transfer" is really a misnomer. The values of an academic education are just as real as ever, and transfer to university is not the sole criterion on which these programs should be judged. The academic programs of the community college meet the needs of a clientele served by no other institution, offer educational opportunity for a segment of society which has been ignored in the past and provide a major impact upon the quality of life in its immediate community.
Some Reflections on Graduate Professional Education in Adult Education
Authors: Verner Coolie
Published: April 2021

Adult education is a relatively new discipline that is appearing with greater frequency in university curriculae. Although Columbia University established the first department in 1930 proliferation has been slow and by 1962 some fifteen universities had established departments1. Among these, were some of the most noted universities on the continent. Well over 100 universities and colleges now purport to offer graduate professional education in adult education but it is doubtful that all of these are in fact legitimate programs in adult education.

Managerial and Disciplinary Constraints Applied to Faculty Staffing
Authors: Belanger Charles H.
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the same faculty members would be dismissed when faculty staffing decisions were based solely on institutional personnel management constraints as when the decisions were further constrained to preserve disciplinary integrity. Two sets of constraints were entered into an integer linear programming model to assess the effect on the structural integrity of a discipline and on the allocation of faculty resources when a 20 percent budget reduction was simulated. After collecting actual data from six academic departments at Florida State University, the analysis of the results led to the conclusion that each department chairman needed to structure his discipline into discipline elements, determine the basic number of positions essential to given identity to each discipline element, and protect the key specialists who filled those positions regardless of their teaching assignments. The number of such positions must be very limited to avoid losing the financial stability of the department in steady-state conditions and being lock-steppped in times of budgetary restrictions.
Vers un modèle du développement vocationnel de l'adulte

Cet article pre´sente tout d'abord l'importance et les objectifs de l'e´tude du de´veloppement vocationnel de l'adulte ainsi que son rapport avec les recherches de´ja` faites et la docu- mentation existante. Les auteurs pre´tendent que la pe´riode adulte (adulthood) a e´te´, a` quelques exceptions pre`s, ignore´e dans son aspect vocationnel alors que pre´cise´ment cette connaissance pourrait s'ave´rer essentielle dans l'e´laboration des curricula pour l'e´ducation permanente. Par la suite, les auteurs pre´sentent le mode`le lui-me^me. Ce mode`le postule que le de´veloppement vocationnel de l'adulte se poursuit jusqu 'a` la mort et se re´alise par pe´riodes de structuration suivies ou pre´ce´de´es de pe´riodes de transition. Tout en poursuivant son de´veloppement vocationnel tout le long de ces pe´riodes, l'adulte vit des pe´riodes de structuration, davantage marque´es par une action plus intense, alors que les pe´riodes de transition sont surtout characte´ristiques de "questionnement"; ces dernie`res peuvent conduire a` une varie´te´ de phe´nome`nes vocationnels incluant, par exemple, des changements radicaux de carrie`re, des re´trogradations, etc. Chacune des neuf pe´riodes de transition et de structuration ont des contenus bien spe´cifiques qui les distinquent les unes des autres. Ces diverses pe´riodes (ou stades) sont des passages pre´visibles de l'adulte dans sa vie vocationnelle qui donnent un sens, une direction a` son e´volution ou a` son de´veloppement vocationnel.

Authors: ERTAŞ Fatma , YÜKSEK Nazmi
Published: April 2021

Thisstudy was aimed to compare the concentrations of minerals and trace elementsdetermined in serum and rumen content with rumen content and hematology ofhealthy cattle and those suffering from indigestion. For this purpose, a totalof 30 cattle were used; 10 of them are healthy (control group) and 20 of themare indigestion (indigestion group). Indigestion was diagnosed by case historyand thorough clinical examination. Hematological parameters did not differbetween diseased and healthy cattle. Of the trace elements tested, serumconcentrations of magnesium, calcium, and zinc decreased (P<0.05) whilecobalt increased (P<0.01) in cattle with indigestion. Ca level of rumencontent was significantly higher in the diseased group (P<0.05) but the serum levelwas lower (P<0.05) when compared to healthy cattle. In addition, a positivecorrelation was noted between values of rumen content and serum in the indigestiongroup and concentration of rumen and serum magnesium of the control group. Anegative correlation between serum Ca and rumen Ca level was determined in the indigestion group. Serum vitamin B1 was statistically (P<0.05) lower whilevitamin B12 unsignignificantly higher (P>0.05). In conclusion, serum Mg, Caand Zn concentrations decreased significantly in cattle suffering fromindigestion and can be exercised when planning treatment in terms of theseelements.

Stroke merupakan penyebab kematian dan disabilitas tertinggi di Indonesia. Stroke juga penyebab disabilitas jangka panjang tertinggi di dunia. Stroke Iskemik mencakup 85% dari seluruh jenis stroke. Stroke iskemik disebabkan oleh adanya sumbatan pembuluh darah akibat tromboemboli atau penyempitan akibat aterosklerosis. Stroke iskemik merupakan penyakit yang dapat disembuhkan. Pengobatan dengan trombolitik intravena (IV-tPA) dan trombektomi mekanik dapat memperbaiki luaran pasien stroke iskemik akut bila dilakukan pada periode emas, yaitu kurang dari 4,5 jam sejak onset gejala untuk IV-tPA dan <6-24 jam untuk trombektomi mekanik. Akan tetapi, hanya sebagian kecil pasien yang dapat memenuhi periode tersebut. Di Indonesia, keterlambatan ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai gejala stroke, masalah transportasi, dan sistem penanganan stroke yang belum terintegrasi. Setiap satu menit penanganan stroke yang terlambat, terjadi kematian 1,9 juta neuron di otak. Sistem yang baik dalam menangani stroke dapat meningkatkan luaran pasien serta menurunkan lama rawat dan biaya perawatan pasien ke depannya. Salah satu pendekatan penanganan stroke adalah dengan sistem 8D yang terdiri dari detection, dispatch, delivery, door, data, decision, drug/device, dan disposition. Sistem ini membantu penanganan stroke secara multidisiplin dan komprehensif dengan pembagian tugas yang jelas. Sehingga pasien mendapat penanganan yang tepat dan diharapkan memiliki luaran yang baik.
Company Analysis – The Beginning Step for Scholarly Research

Published: April 2021

Company analysis is the important type of case method in Research Methodology and is
commonly used by the beginners of scholarly research. A case study based management
research and teaching pedagogy are adopted by many business schools with the belief that it
is a most powerful way to study and learn new lessons required to identify, understand, and
solve the problems in the process of managing and leading the organizations. Developing a
business case on various managing aspects of a company and analysing case forces students
to grapple with exactly the kinds of situations, decisions, and dilemmas managers confront
every day. Company analysis is a powerful tool in developing both research case study and
teaching case study in business management subject. Compared to industry analysis, company
analysis gives focused and deeper insight into a company and its business in terms of
challenges and opportunities. In this paper, we have discussed the procedure of writing
company focussed case study based on a newly developed company analysis framework. We
also recommend the Company analysis as a class of case study methodology in management
research for the beginners and budding researchers as a beginning step in scholarly research.

There are many charity related mobile application available for both charity and donor, Concerns of these type of applications are to help to feed child in need, to contact different charities, some of them provide shelter to the needy one and many more. In this project we identified the drawbacks of already build applications and try to overcome that and some new and effective functionality. Our application .i.e., Feeding India is basically for charity and donor, mainly focuses on small charities. In this Charity authority can upload details of the charity like its location, description etc., they can also update their requirement as per their situation. Donor can see the requirement of the charity and if he/she wants to donate then he can directly contact with the charity, as charity provides the mobile number of the charity, and in this application we provide a chat box for the chatting between charity and donor as per their comfort ability. As we come across the situation like pandemic in this condition 82 % of total population of India shows positive vibe over donation, so in this condition charity and donor decides the location and make the donation.

The accidents in coal mines are increased day by day. There are numerous life losses of many skilled workers and laborers. There is no advent precaution measure to detect the alarming cause of the coal mine accidents and provide an alert system. Occupational accidents and occupational diseases are common in the mining. The most common causes of accidents in coal mining are firedamp and dust explosions, landslips, mine fires, and technical failures related to transport and mechanization. An analysis of occupational accidents in the consideration of social and economic factors reports that the real causes behind these accidents, which are said to happen inevitably due to technical deficiencies or failures. Thus an automated alarming coal mine accident detect ion system is employed to rescue and protect the workers from the hazards. This system incorporates the combined action of the temperature, pressure and gas sensor and IOT module to detect the temperature, pressure and atmosphere in the coal mine and log every data onto the cloud using data logging. Then these data are accepted by a admin controlled sever page through data acquisition. The data processing takes place at a server page and the alert is send to the device to glow the alarm and to the concerned officials and rescue stations for taking the prevention measures.
Análise dos aspectos motivacionais de estudantes em uma disciplina eletiva de Astronomia

Published: April 2021

Este artigo relata uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi estudar os aspectos que conduziram à motivação para a participação em uma disciplina de Astronomia por parte do público-alvo (estudantes do ensino médio) em um espaço escolar de ensino. Para o estudo da motivação, usamos como referencial teórico a Teoria da Autodeterminação, que se dedica a estudar aspectos relacionados com a motivação humana. Para nortear a análise, fundamentamo-nos no referencial metodológico qualitativo da Análise Textual Discursiva, que busca a compreensão das novas interpretações a partir dos dados da pesquisa. Como fonte de dados, usamos um questionário respondido pelos participantes no término da eletiva. Os resultados apontam que a Astronomia pode ser considerada potencialmente motivadora para casos semelhantes ao aqui estudado, pois foram diagnosticados, em todos os estudantes participantes, indícios de motivação intrínseca. Os resultados da pesquisa também apontam que a Astronomia deve ser trabalhada de alguma forma na educação básica, pois apresentou estudantes autônomos, competentes e comprometidos com as atividades desenvolvidas.

Embora atualmente desconhecido nos dias atuais, o texto é um autêntico retrato da óptica nesse século, incorporando temas, controvérsias e novas perspectivas de estudo vigentes decorrentes do legado de Isaac Newton (1642-1727) na Grã-Bretanha. É primeira vez que um texto desse autor é traduzido ao português.

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a presença de isomorfismo mimético a partir das semelhanças estruturais dos currículos dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Administração-PPGA, e se o mimetismo contribui para um desempenho semelhante no ranking da CAPES. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se estatística descritiva e análise de agrupamento com a técnica de Co-plot como procedimento de apresentação e análise de dados. Como resultado, identificamos quatro grupos de PPGAs e a similaridade estrutural entre eles. Percebemos também que a formação de clusters, a identificação de um alto nível de similaridade entre os programas e a aceitação parcial de pertencer a determinado grupo podem se refletir no desempenho do PPGP. Conclui-se que a postura diferenciada de cada grupo observado de cada grupo isomórfico não significa desempenho semelhante a todos os componentes. Portanto, argumentamos que não é evidente obter os mesmos resultados do espelhamento de estruturas e procedimentos das organizações de referência.

O uso de modelos na previsão de produção de água e sedimento apresenta um grande potencial para serem utilizados no planejamento dos recursos hídricos, sendo que através desta ferramenta é possível estimar impactos causados pelas atividades antrópicas. Com base nessa premissa, utilizamos o modelo SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tools) em uma bacia rural (771,2 km²) localizada nos municípios de Porto Velho e Nova Mamoré, denominada Sub bacia Mutum Paraná. Sua área tem influência direta da usina hidrelétrica de Jirau, e seu exutório localiza-se à montante da barragem. Neste contexto, o monitoramento e a modelagem fornecem suporte ao manejo hidrossedimentológico de bacias hidrográficas. Os métodos aplicados foram monitoramento hidrológico, geração de dados matriciais e tabulares, delimitação de sub bacias, validação do modelo, análises estatísticas e avaliação espacial da produção de água e sediment. O modelo SWAT gerou dados simulados que representaram os processos observados em campo, como de produção de água e sedimento. A partir das simulações foi possível conhecer as sub bacias que produziram maior quantidade de água e sedimentos. Os valores de escoamento superficial e sedimento máximos respectivamente encontrados são de 96,7 (mm/ano) e 3,35(ton/ha/ano).

Este trabalho tem por objetivo determinar as áreas sucetíveis às inundações com base em mapeamento geomorfológico em escala de detalhe de uma área sujeita aos diferentes tipos de inundações na planície aluvial de uma bacia hidrográfica com sistema de canais entrelaçados. A área em estudo faz parte da bacia hidrográfica do Rio da Pedra, situada no extremo sul do Estado de Santa Catarina, no município de Jacinto Machado.  Para o mapeamento das áreas sujeitas à inundação partiu-se da elaboração do mapeamento geomorfológico de detalhe, elaborado a partir de fotointerpretação e levantamentos de campo. Com base no mapeamento geomorfológico de detalhe, foi confeccionado o mapa das áreas de suscetibilidade à inundação, em escala de detalhe: 1: 25.000. Foram identificados e mapeados 4 níveis de perigo de inundação na planície aluvial do Rio da Pedra: perigo muito alto, alto1, alto 2, médio e sem perigo de inundação.
Os Programas Públicos de Crédito para o rural e o desempenho do setor primário do território litoral sul (Bahia / Brasil) nos governos instituídos entre 1999 e 2018

Este trabalho teve por objetivo central analisar o acesso aos recursos dos programas públicos de crédito rural e o desempenho do setor primário do Território Litoral Sul (TLS) entre os anos 1999 e 2018, considerando o papel da agricultura familiar e da não familiar. Foram utilizadas as pesquisas bibliográfica e documental e dados secundários originados do Banco Central-BACEN, do extinto Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário - MDA e do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística-IBGE. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva e da análise comparativa. Os resultados revelam que o crescimento do volume de crédito no TLS continuou beneficiando a agricultura não familiar, mesmo nos governos progressistas. Já o VAB total e do setor primário do TLS cresceu, muito em função da concentração dos recursos de crédito por contratos firmados, principalmente para a agricultura não familiar.
Análise da morfometria e do uso e cobertura da terra da bacia hidrográfica do rio Mocajuba, zona costeira Amazônica

A bacia hidrográfica do rio Mocajuba está localizada no setor leste da zona costeira amazônica e sua área abrange quatro municípios paraenses. Este trabalho objetiva fazer uma análise da morfometria e do uso e cobertura da Terra da bacia em estudo. A metodologia se baseia no levantamento de parâmetros geométricos, de relevo e drenagem, e na classificação de uma imagem de satélite Landsat 8 do ano de 2019. Os resultados demonstram que a bacia em estudo tem uma área de 329,69 km², sua caracterização morfométrica e os tipos de uso não favorecem a concentração do fluxo fluvial, pois seu formato é comprido e tem baixíssima tendência a ocorrência de enchentes, no entanto ressalta-se que a diminuição da cobertura vegetal é um fator de risco ao processo erosivo e consequente assoreamento dos cursos d’água

A aplicação dos índices de vegetação são componentes essenciais na compreensão da cobertura vegetal ao investigar a paisagem de um dado espaço. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo objetiva-se em analisar a atividade vegetacional do município de Guaiúba/CE, através da aplicação dos índices de vegetação (SAVI e NDVI). O percurso metodológico se ateve na geração de tais índices, interpolação e produção cartográfica. Como resultados da pesquisa denota-se a demonstração da investigação pluviométrica acumulada do município de Guaiúba, bem como a quantificação das classes de atividades fotossintéticas geradas pelos índices de vegetação. Logo, a compreensão dos índices, permitem estudos diversos, tanto no âmbito geográfico, como na formulação de ações de planejamento ambiental.

Utilizou-se, para um melhor desenvolvimento do tema, de fontes bibliográficas e legislativas. Na primeira parte, apresenta-se o contexto dos bens culturais e sua necessidade de proteção. Em seguida, apresenta-se aspectos de proximidade e diferenças entre as duas supramencionadas normas nacionais, com especial atenção aos aspectos temporais das normas.
O costume internacional como reforço da objeção brasileira à cláusula do tratamento justo e equitativo
Authors: Achtschin Leonardo Vieira Arruda
Published: April 2021

O mais recente Acordo de Cooperação e Facilitação de Investimentos (ACFI) do Brasil, celebrado com a Índia no ano de 2020, reafirma a tradicional objeção brasileira ao padrão do tratamento justo e equitativo (TJE) em seus tratados de investimentos. Assim o faz ao dispor que o tratamento a ser conferido ao investidor deverá se dar em conformidade com os costumes internacionais reconhecidos pelas partes pactuantes.
Essa novidade encontra-se alinhada ao papel desempenhado pelo Brasil no regime internacional do Direito dos Investimentos. O governo brasileiro é considerado um tradicional crítico da cláusula TJE, posição esta que remonta aos anos 90, quando o país assinou, por meio do Poder Executivo, 14 tratados bilaterais de investimentos (TBI) contendo a previsão da cláusula TJE, sem, no entanto, ratificar qualquer um deles no Congresso Nacional. Diante dessa rejeição aos TBIs nos anos noventa, o Brasil se manteve afastado do regime de regulação de investimentos até o ano de 2015, quando celebrou seu primeiro tratado de investimentos, com Moçambique.
