NOT ON THE LIST: Developing collections beyond resource lists

UKSG: connecting the knowledge community

Andrew Knight University of RoehamptonLike many university libraries, Roehampton uses reading list software. Although a resource list culture has been successfully established amongst academic staff and students, such an approach has also resulted in reduced opportunities for collection development outside those resource lists. In this session, we look at how cross-departmental collaboration has been able to identify content for postgraduate students and researchers, as well as supporting the University community’s wider needs by developing non-academic collections in health & wellbeing, citizenship and student support

1) The document discusses whether the Production of Welfare Approach (POW) has been overtaken, undermined, or still underpins current policy discourse. 2) POW focuses on equity, effectiveness, and efficiency using personal services and long-term wellbeing, and uses tools for policy design, evaluation, and scenario simulation. 3) POW has not been overtaken or undermined, and still influences UK social care policy discourse as well as policies in other countries, though maintaining focus on key social care concerns may be challenging.

Toward a science of honors education

Beata Jones

The document proposes a framework to guide research on honors education. It identifies four levels of analysis: external environment, honors programs/colleges, honors courses, and honors stakeholders. For each level, it outlines relevant dimensions for study such as types of stakeholders, characteristics of honors courses, and factors influencing honors organizations. The goal is to develop a comprehensive field guide to honors education based on surveys, meta-analyses, and targeted studies using this framework to better understand the field through an evidence-based approach and potentially increase support for honors. It calls for collaboration among honors practitioners worldwide to jointly conduct research.

Critical thinking psychology

maryammuno

Critical thinking in Pakistan is limited due to poor governance, lack of strategic planning, conservative thinking, and limited resources. Additionally, the education system provides contradictory messages between religion and education and criticizes students' skills rather than providing broad learning opportunities, resources, and an updated environment to develop critical thinking through active and project-based learning approaches that appreciate student effort. International schools provide a model for developing critical thinking through their resources, physical fitness programs, and encouragement of positivity, free thinking, and expanded reading.

The involvement of c sap in the open educational

CSAPSubjectCentre

The document discusses three UKOER projects led by C-SAP that explored open educational resources (OER) in the social sciences. The first was a pilot project involving 6 academic partners who contributed approximately 60 credits of teaching materials which were deposited in open repositories. It aimed to examine assumptions around sharing resources and encourage longer-term OER release. Outputs included a project toolkit and case studies. The second project aimed to improve discoverability of OER for research methods teaching through a survey and website. The third, Cascade, emphasized the broader contexts of OER creation and reuse and involved three higher education institutions developing tools to reflect on practice and conditions for resource sharing.

Institutional Procedures as a Tool to Promote Responsible Research Environment

ORPHEUS

This document summarizes an institutional procedures presentation on promoting responsible research. It discusses how the rate of scientific paper retractions is increasing faster than total publications due to irresponsible conduct. Institutions face a dilemma of maintaining integrity as research systems expand rapidly. The presentation focuses on the role of institutions in ensuring research integrity through education, policies, oversight of misconduct, and discouraging questionable practices. A survey of institutions found most provide ethics training but could improve on topics like data management. Mentor-mentee relationships are often unstructured. While training focuses on research skills, developing generic skills for candidates was also recommended to foster a quality research culture.

It allows students to share their work, prepare for defenses, network with others, and be exposed to guest speakers. Students at different stages of the program present on their research at roundtables, posters, or symposiums. The goal is for students to engage in the academic community and continue developing their skills in researching their professional practice.

Interdisciplinary Research in Supply Chain

Sanjeev Deshmukh

This document discusses interdisciplinary research in supply chain management. It begins with opening remarks and then observes that digital transformation is disrupting traditional research approaches and requiring more collaborative work. Supply chain management provides opportunities for integration across disciplines due to concerns like material, information and money flows that cut across boundaries. Interdisciplinary research is important for advancing knowledge, enhancing teaching quality, and making societal impacts. Examples of interdisciplinary research experiences are shared, like exploring the supply chain of medical devices and dental implants. Big opportunities for interdisciplinary research are discussed, such as in the contexts of smart cities and waste management initiatives. Prerequisites for interdisciplinary research include changing mindsets, learning across disciplines, and keeping societal impacts in view rather than

Open education a view from the south

Glenda Cox

This document summarizes research into factors influencing South African lecturers' adoption of open educational resources (OER). It finds that practical pedagogical concerns about quality and relevance are more important than a resource's openness. Lecturers are guided by a belief in open education and improving quality by making materials open to greater scrutiny. Culture and structure shape agency differently at three case study universities. Individual volition is key to OER adoption at UCT, while institutional support is more important at UNISA. OER adoption is lowest at UFH where awareness and permission are lacking. The researcher argues individual ultimate concerns and how they are mediated by culture and structure influence OER contributions.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for improving ICT research in Africa. It notes that while ICT is often believed to benefit learning, the empirical evidence supporting these claims is limited. Several studies have found mixed or no effects of ICT on student achievement. The document also points out threats to the quality of educational research in Africa, including pressure to publish which can compromise rigor, a lack of large-scale and longitudinal studies, and insufficient grounding of research in strong theoretical frameworks. It calls for abandoning weak research designs in favor of more robust experimental and quasi-experimental approaches grounded in theory. Strengthening research training and supervision as well as international collaboration are also recommended to advance high-quality ICT research.

This document summarizes a study on community engagement in translational research. It found that while faculty and community partners generally agreed on the benefits of community engagement, there were some differences in attitudes around timelines and resource allocation. Both groups saw a need for more faculty training, particularly in cultural competency, community dialogue skills, and power sharing. The study was limited by its sampling methods but implications include using experienced faculty as mentors and addressing gaps in expectations between researchers and partners.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx

PRIYANKA PATEL

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...

Leonel Morgado

Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Sérgio Sacani

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions among stars. Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars. The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun. Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically, the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec. Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software. Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2 s −1 . The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution, with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf

University of Hertfordshire

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best. Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level. Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

2. VALUE • Interdisciplinarity is important to science • Status quo will hinder competition for limited resources • Diversity of views produce comprehensive and unique insights • Article citations and impacts are increased

3. BARRIERS • Universities are organized by domain siloes • Support staff, systems and resources are decentralized • Faculty advancement is focused on its domain • Grant proposals are uninformed by local experts

4. “ ” A KEY TO SUCCESS IN RESEARCH OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS IS INCORPORATING SOCIAL SCIENCE. -Dr. Alan Rebar, NC State University’s Vice Chancellor of Research

5. RESEARCH NEEDED • This research aims to inform development of solutions • Assess institutional leadership, structure, and culture • Recommend research-based, tailored solutions • Prioritize reforms likely to diversify funding portfolios

6. THEORY • Hypotheses from RK Merton’s Sociology of Science • Science is a social activity with structures and processes • “Serendipitous sociocognitive microenvironments” cause synergy • Interdisciplinarity enhances “competitive cooperation”

7. POTENTIAL RESEARCH QUESTIONS • To what extent are social forces affecting interdisciplinary research plans? Do faculty members recognize these affects and, if so, how do they compensate for them? • Has the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program caused increases in interdisciplinary research funding? • Are there model policies, leadership styles, or systems that can be replicated to increase interdisciplinary research funding? • How do faculty perceive university, college and departmental leadership, support and culture in regards to interdisciplinary research? • Which, if any, of these characteristics aid interdisciplinary research? • Which, if any, of these characteristics hinder interdisciplinary research?

8. POTENTIAL METHODS • Methods TBD by advisory committee • Findings are intended to inform the final report • Quasi-experimental approaches could include administrative data • Causation could be triangulated with a mixed-method approach

9. ACCESSIBLE POPULATION • NC State University Faculty • Cluster faculty • Interdisciplinary center collaborators • Established or early career, more traditional faculty

10. THESIS PRODUCT • Support for interdisciplinary research development • Proposal to deepen scientific knowledge advancement • Research-based plan complete with exemplar projects • Faculty-led design for collaborative proposal development
