LEGITIMACY, AUTHORITY AND MOBILITY IN A MULTI-SCALAR UNIVERSITY CLASS MEDIATED BY WEB TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Gargioni Ana Alice Dos Passos , De Moura Carolina Bottosso , Lima Regiane Da Silva Macedo , De Anunciação Renata Franck Mendonça , Grando Roziane Keila , Araújo Izabel Cristina de 
Published: June 2016

The aim of this article is to identify and describe the interactional flow dynamics between participants of a course developed using web technology mediation by a consortium of graduate programs in different Brazilian states in the first half of 2015. Based on the analysis of multimedia records on the development of the course, three interaction spaces, or locales, are identified and described between the participants of the course (Skype, live-and-in-person learning classes and Wikispaces), understood as heterogeneous spaces, but interwoven through technological mediation. Based on the affordances and constraints of the technologies used, as well as multi-scale topography observed in these spaces, the interactional flow at and through each level is not linear, as it is governed by legitimacy and authority parameters that not only refer to the conventional school participation modes, but also point to more complex ones.

Cancer control in resource-limited settings
Authors: Latu Rufina , Homer Caroline 
Published: June 2016

<p>Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death for women globally. In the Pacific, it is the most common cancer among adult women. Yet it is almost completely preventable, if precancerous lesions are identified and treated early in a timely manner. This is the biggest challenge for Pacific island countries – to establish a practical and affordable comprehensive cancer control programme that is accessible by all women to improve cancer prevention and care. </p>

HERMENÊUTICA E DIREITOS HUMANOS
Authors: Taxi Ricardo Araujo Dib 
Published: June 2016

O presente artigo pretende apresentar a dimensão interpretativa dos direitos humanos como um passo essencial para a sua concretização. A partir de uma relação com alguns dos temas clássicos que envolvem a hermenêutica jurídica, buscarei mostrar que a aplicação dos direitos humanos a contextos particulares exige uma profunda sensibilidade para os problemas e as peculiaridades dos locais nos quais as violações a direitos são sentidas. A partir da noção hermenêutica de interpretação como tradução do mundo do texto para o mundo do interprete, discutirei em que medida os direitos humanos, para não serem apenas um discurso universal e meramente abstrato, precisam também ser reinterpretados a partir da vivência e da cultura na qual serão implementados. Palavras chave: Hermenêutica; Direitos humanos.
Insights into the autoethnographical story through juxtaposing Indigenous, education, healthcare and ethical dimensions
Authors: Smith Mary 
Published: June 2016

Composing my autoethnographical story became a vast undertaking and an avenue to make known experiences of culture, health and family situated within a First Nation’s community. Unleashing the personal story within the cultural sociopolitical context in the autoethnographical form was realized to be a way to arouse genuine interest and to disrupt ingrained assumptions. In this article, perspectives garnered through the experiences of crafting an autoethnography as a doctoral nursing student and seeking ethical approval are delineated and challenged. Additionally, the intricacies of the autoethnographical story are depicted in association with Indigenous storytelling, ontology and relationality to further illuminate the decolonizing potential and relevance to culturally safe methodologies. This account may contribute to the growing acceptance, understanding and utilization of autoethnography within academia and beyond.
Changing the subject in teacher education: Centering Indigenous, diasporic, and settler colonial relations
Authors: Cannon Dr Martin John 
Published: June 2016

This paper suggests that, so long as we are focused on racism and colonialism as an exclusively Indigenous struggle, we fail to engage non-Indigenous peoples as “allies” of Indigenous education and sovereignty. My goal is to place a developing literature on settler-Indigenous alliances into a productive and more explicit dialogue with anti-oppressive educational theory and praxis. I address two critical questions: 1) How might we engage structurally privileged learners, some of whom are non-Indigenous peoples, to think about colonial dominance and racism in Canada? and 2) How might we work in coalition with privileged learners—and especially with new Canadians—to consider matters of land, citizenship, and colonization? I conclude by identifying a series of pedagogical practices aimed at the troubling of normalcy—an approach to teaching that disrupts the binary of self/Other. I consider briefly in turn the implications of this pedagogy for decolonization, the invigoration of teacher education programs in Canada, and the building and rejuvenation of relationships between Indigenous peoples and settler, diasporic, and migrant Indigenous populations.
Local Political Arrangements: Education in harmony with the local development
Authors: Melo Marli Alves Flores 
Published: June 2016

This paper addresses education, particularly professional, scientific and technological education, in the context of local development, from the prism of productive local arrangements – PLAS. It highlights the effect of globalization on society´s transformations, the restructuring of the sectorial, institutional and organizational dynamics related to educational aspects, the territorial features of the said arrangements, and the actors that are part of them. We understand that this is a priority in the social construction and an incentive to the scientific education professional development, with regard to the ethical-political nature of individuals. We point out the need to foster interaction amongst educational institutions in order to mobilize territorial resources, aiming at local development. We conclude with a few pertinent discussions about the value of education, both in its integral feature and in its adherence to parallel harmonies.

Polarized IR reflectance spectroscopy methods for the orientation of monoclinic single crystals: Tutton salts as a case example
Authors: Ivanovski Vladimir 
Published: July 2016

Investigation of polarized IR reflectance spectra of single crystals is important in the course of obtaining vibrational, optical and dielectric properties of solid state samples. Diffraction X-ray methods are usually employed for crystal orientation. In this work, two IR reflectance methods are proposed as a supplement in testing the orientation of the <em>b</em> crystal axis and by that the <em>ac</em> crystal plane, in respect to the morphology of monoclinic single crystals. The methods were tested on two Tutton salt single crystals: K<sub>2</sub>Ni(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O and K<sub>2</sub>Ni(SeO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O and were further compared with the cross-polarization IR reflectance method. Both methods rely on the symmetry and optical properties of monoclinic single crystals. One of them takes into account the fact that one of the principal axes of the dielectric tensor is symmetry fixed, while the other employs the conditions for the appearance of an isosbestic-like point i.e. isosbestic-like region in the polarized IR reflectance spectra of single crystals with low symmetry.
Consequence and Role of Telomeres on Cell-Division Rates and Life-Spans
Authors: Shilpa Singh  , Mitasha Purohit  
Published: June 2016

There has been growing evidence that lifestyle factors may affect the health and lifespan of an individual by affecting telomere length. Telomeres are unique protein–DNA structures that comprise the termini of eukaryotic linear chromosomes. Telomere length shortens with age. Progressive shortening of telomeres leads to senescence, apoptosis, or oncogenic transformation of somatic cells, affecting the health and lifespan of an individual. We planned to focus the significance of telomeres in human health and aging and to summarize possible lifestyle factors that may affect health and longevity by altering the rate of telomere shortening.
CONCEPTUAL BASIS OF PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN APPLIED MECHANICS
Authors: Feschuk Alla 
Published: June 2016

The article deals with the problem of definition of the notion of “professionally oriented foreign language training of future specialists in applied mechanics”, particularly, it reveals the differentiation of the notions of “foreign language training”, “foreign language education” and “teaching foreign languages”, determines the purpose and the content of foreign language education and teaching foreign languages and the peculiarities of foreign language education of future specialists in applied mechanics. Integration into European educational space caused the changes in the Ukrainian educational market including professional training of future specialists in applied mechanics who should be able to adapt to multicultural, multilingual environment for the realization of personal and professional needs. The concept of professionally oriented foreign language training is analyzed and defined by scientists as a process of teaching foreign languages oriented to the formation of foreign language professional competence for solving professional tasks in their sphere. The key factors of professionally oriented foreign language training of future specialists in applied mechanics (cognitive and informational, linguistic, professional, psycholinguistic, content and structural) are introduced in the paper. The leading role of foreign language education consists in effective communication, cultural awareness, ability to work and adapt to multilingual and multicultural teams and high level of communication competence, which are considered as the key requirements of the recruitment strategies of employers.
LONG-TERM RESEARCH ASSESSING IN THE HUMANITIES: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Chesnokova Anna , Zyngier Sonia , Van Peer Willie 
Published: June 2016

It is common practice in academic research projects to present final assessment by means of reporting and evaluating results. More often than not, these reports tend to focus on the quantity and quality of the knowledge acquired, and very little (if any) attention is given to the impact the research may have had on the researchers themselves. In an institutional setting where students participate in research, this may be a missing link in the educational chain. The case study described here tried to fill this gap by showing the changes effected by a project investigating literature and language from a multicultural perspective. More than stimulating research by students in different countries, it aimed at helping them become autonomous researchers using empirical methods. We argue that instead of lectures and seminars, the educational quality of the humanities will be greatly enhanced if we turn to our students doing research themselves. We counter the argument that students are not able to do so with reference to a ten-year project we were engaged in, together with our students, between our three universities. We describe the methods along which our students cooperated with each other in conceptualizing, carrying out and reporting on their research. Feedback from 53 participants indicates that not only did the project motivate them to pursue further academic degrees, but the skills they acquired considerably influenced their future in many different fields. Though the design of this study does not allow us to determine any causality in the effects of the program, we argue that the results are nevertheless highly suggestive of the program’s both motivational and intellectual success.
Prevailing Educational Philosophies among Pre-Service Teachers
Authors: B. Tupas Joshua , P. Pendon Guiller 
Published: July 2016

<em>The motivation of this study is derived from the presumption or belief that pre-service teachers are somehow guided by certain philosophies as they enhance their pedagogical skills before practicing their profession. This study aimed to find out the prevailing educational philosophies of pre-service teachers when taken as a whole and when classified according to course, sex, and grade point average (GPA). The respondents of the study were the 67 education students of the West Visayas State Univesity-Janiuay Campus who were chosen through stratified sampling. Data were gathered with the aid of a self-made philosophic inventory checklist which was validated by experts and pilot- tested. It utilized the descriptive design to collect, analyze and classify data on the prevailing educational philosophies of pre-service teachers. Results showed that pre-service teachers were likely to accept existentialism and progressivism as educational philosophies when taken as a whole and when classified according to course, sex and GPA. With the use of Mann-Whitney test, inferential statistics showed that there was no significant difference in the prevailing educational philosophies of pre-service teachers when classified according to course, sex and GPA.</em>
Community-University Partnerships: Community Engagement for Transformative Learning
Authors: Fletcher Fay 
Published: June 2016

Recently, various scholars have remarked that university continuing education (UCE) is moving away from one of its original core foci, that of social justice. In this article, the possible causes of this are discussed, including current political environments, the role of universities and academics in perpetuating or disrupting the status quo, and increased reliance on cost recovery and for-profit programming. Community-based participatory research as a feasible strategy for promoting UCE’s role in social justice is also presented. An example of UCE that was developed in response to existing social inequities and driven by discussions with the community is offered to demonstrate that critical voices can have an impact and that institutions of higher education can be collaborative and foster networks of relationships for learning. Finally, key points for the successful development of a UCE program that responds to critical voices and returns to social justice are shared.
The Rising Tide of Outreach and Engagement in State and Land-Grant Universities in the United States: What are the Implications for University Continuing Education Units in Canada?
Authors: McLean Scott , Thompson Gordon , Jonker Peter 
Published: June 2016

In this paper, we describe the outreach and engagement movement in the United States and explore the implications of this movement for university continuing education units in Canada. Across the United States, major universities have adopted the vocabulary of “outreach and engagement” to foster a shift in the relationships of those universities with communities and organizations beyond the traditional boundaries of the institution. This vocabulary has its roots in the work of Ernest Boyer (1990, 1996) and the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities (1999, 2000). In the past decade, many American universities have adopted new leadership and organizational structures to make an operational commitment to outreach and engagement. In Canada, university continuing education units have traditionally been involved in activities that fit within the concept of outreach and engagement, and leaders of such units should consider the implications of the outreach and engagement movement.
A Comparison of the Organizational Frameworks of Canadian and American University Continuing Education Units
Authors: Carter Lorraine , Dougherty Chris , Wilson Edna 
Published: June 2016

In 2006, a study involving institutional members of the Canadian Association of University Continuing Education (CAUCE) was conducted by the CAUCE Information and Research Committee working in collaboration with the Research Committee of the Association of Continuing Higher Education (ACHE). The survey had been previously completed by institutional members belonging to ACHE in the United States. This paper describes the survey findings and offers possible explanations of important differences related to respondent profile, type of institution by funding, and the extent of credit programming offered by the responding institutions. Differences related to learning modalities are also discussed. Further joint surveys involving CAUCE and ACHE members as well as international research initiatives sponsored by the two organizations are recommended.
SoTEL: Toward a Scholarship of Technology Enhanced Learning
Authors: Wickens Renate 
Published: June 2016

The publication of Ernest Boyer’s innovative study, Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate (1990), sparked sixteen years of academic studies, high level conferences, and campus teaching reforms in a movement that has come to be known as the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). During this same period, a rapidly developing study and practice of digital pedagogy, to be discussed here under the heading of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), generated its own extensive theoretical and practice-oriented literature. This paper is part of an ongoing work that explores points of intersection between SoTL and TEL in order to lay the ground-work for the latter as scholarship in Boyer’s sense of the term, that is, SoTEL.
University Extension and Public Service in the Age of Economic Globalization: A Response to Thompson and Lamble
Authors: Lauzon Allan C. 
Published: June 2016

The Journal invited Allan Lauzon to comment on the preceding article by Gordon Thompson and Wayne Lamble. In his response Lauzon examines the larger shifts in Canadian society, making the case that this represents a fundamental shift in dominant values; examines how this value shift is impacting upon the university; examines the implications of value changes in the university for university extension units; and examines and comments on some of the ideas put forth by Thompson and Lamble. The Journal will provide an opportunity for Thompson and Lamble to respond to Lauzon's comments in the next issue of theJournal (fall 2000).
Marketing Implications Associated with Non-Returning Students in University Certificate Programs
Authors: Thompson Gordon 
Published: June 2016

This study examines the attitudes and future plans of students who discontinued their studies in university certificate programs. These non-returning students were separated into three groups: opt-outs, stop-outs, and drop-outs. Two separate surveys were undertaken; one survey consisted of students enrolled in a certificate program offered by the University of Saskatchewan, and the other consisted of students enrolled in several certificate programs offered by the University of Manitoba. The study examined three primary questions:What proportion of non-returning students commenced their certificate studies with the intention of completing the program and earning the certificate?What proportion of non-returning students intend to return to complete their program?What attitudes do these students have toward the certificate program in which they had enrolled?Several findings of special significance are reported. First, approximately one-quarter of the students in this study indicated that they entered their certificate program with no intention of completing the program. Second, a significant proportion of the students in this study indicated an intention to return and complete their certificate program. Finally, respondents indicated a very high level of satisfaction with their university experience despite the discontinuation of their studies. The implications of these findings for the marketing of certificate programs are examined and suggestions for further research are offered.
