Purpose
The paper sets out a theoretical framework that has been developed to help understand the transitional experience of Chinese top up students at university. The framework has been developed from two psychosocial student development theories, Schlossberg’s transition theory (Schlossberg, 2005) and Chickering's identity development theory (Chickering & Reisser, 1993).
Since 2000, Chinese students account for the largest proportion of all international students worldwide. As a result, the transition of Chinese students in Western universities has become a popular research topic in the higher education field. However, most of the published studies consider Chinese students as a single category and do not distinguish between traditional entry and direct entry. This work will look specifically at the transition experience of Chinese top up students.
Nature of Research
The paper outlines the initial stages of a PhD study. It will present the development of the conceptual framework for the study and the literature review.
Methodology
The study is a case study of Chinese students studying at UK universities. It will use the Portrait Methodology (Bottery et al, 2009). Individually written “portraits” will be used to show how each individual participant handles the issues students face in transition. The sample size will be approximately 15 students, they will be interviewed both prior to and after they have commenced studies at a uk university. It is intended to take samples from students at a university in north of England.
Main arguments
The transition process is considered to be a “stress coping” process. In particular, it is a cultural adjustment issue and can be considered to comprise three factors: language anxiety, social anxiety and the academic anxiety (Zhou & Todman, 2008; Liu, & Jackson, 2008).
Work on general student development considers a transition to be a developmental process consisting of moving in, moving through and moving out stages of each individual transition (Schlossberg, 2005). Chickering defines it as consisting of 7 vectors, which are stages of development of identity.
The theoretical framework takes the work on general student development and applies it to the transitional process. It synthesizes the work of existing student identity development theories into a process that looks at both temporal and identity development and applies it to the transitional development of top up Chinese students.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

10. Timeline for Poster preparation
• Start early!
– The poster presentation is on 30 March
• Therefore, your poster should be ready and printed well BEFORE that
date (Monday 28 March latest)
• Check with your supervisor for possible IP (intellectual property)
problems before public display
Posters - Research Day 2010/11
11. Quick guide for posters
• Know your topic
– Seems trivial, but this is the key to a good poster
• Be selective
– You should know more about your project than you can possibly fit onto a
poster; restrict yourselves to a few points, and explain these well
• Keep it simple
– A poster is not an essay; there is plenty of opportunity to go into more
detail in the thesis
• Minimise text, use graphics
– A poster is a visual communication tool, so use clear, simple graphics to
illustrate you po s
us a e your points
• Use large font
– Remember, posters are read from a distance (18 pt minimum) – should be
readable as an A4 format printout
• Provide guidance
– The sequence of content has to be clear from the layout (e.g. columnar);
numbering the text blocks may also help

28. Graphs – straight from Excel
• This is a graph straight out of Excel – it does contain the information, but
hides it under a lot of unnecessary colouring and detail
– Grey background: provides no i f
G b k d id information, di t t the attention and i ugly
ti distracts th tt ti d is l
– Grid lines: message is contained in pattern; actual values are probably not relevant
– Legend: takes up extra space – at graph’s expense
– X-axis:
X axis: axes are notoriously problematic in Excel, in this case
Excel
• labelling between tick marks
• crossing of the y-axis at –1 rather then zero
Posters - Research Day 2010/11
29. Graphs - better
• This is already better, but still looks a bit cluttered
– Axis scales: emphasis on pattern, so detail of axis values not required
– Legend: much easier to simply label the lines
– Data markers: individual data points are less relevant than pattern, no need to
highlight them
