Training The Next Generation Of Public College Presidents: Advancing A Framework To Prepare Aspiring College Presidents
No full textThe problem identified was the pending turnover of college presidents, the shrinking pool of traditional candidates and the need to better prepare a new cohort of individuals earlier in their career for the increasingly complex and challenging role of college president. This qualitative dissertation in practice sought to understand the preparation needed to become a first-time four-year public college president. The systematic grounded theory research design best aligned with the researcher’s postpositivist worldview of logic, sequence and interconnectedness. The aim was to advance a framework for preparing aspiring four-year public college presidents that was derived by exploring the perception of current first-time college presidents of the preparation needed for the position. The overarching research question that drove the study was what is the framework that explains the process of preparing aspiring public four-year college and university presidents? Through the prescribed coding steps of systematic grounded theory and the use of theoretical sampling and constant comparative analysis, data saturation was reached and a framework was advanced. The three-phased presidential preparatory model is a visual model that includes learned skills, professional experiences and rigorous self-assessment. Two facilitating conditions were also identified. This framework informed the development of the recommended solution, the Aspiring Presidents Preparatory Program (APPP) that is grounded in the model advanced and aligns with the key findings. The conclusion discusses implications for higher education, for future research and connections to leadership theory.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Il diritto penale nel canone di Mario Romano
No full textThis paper deals with the extension and the extraordinary scientific value of the works written by a great Master in Criminal Law, such as Mario Romano. The Author briefly presents some of the most relevant contributions given by Professor Mario Romano to the Criminal Science, first of all his "Commentario sistematico del codice penale" (Systematic Commentary on the penal code), a unique work. Finally, the paper talks about some topics which have been developed inside the work "Studi in onore di Mario Romano" (Studies in Honour of Mario Romano)
Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud

The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally
Marton, north Lincolnshire: a Romano-British settlement in its context
No full textThis thesis seeks to reconstruct and interpret the form and extent of the Romano- British settlement at Marton, North Lincolnshire. The site at Marton has previously been the subject of no formal programme of archaeological research. However it offers a rich potential for applying non-intrusive archaeological survey, and this study is based on the results obtained from a combination of different survey techniques. Although the site has received very little formal archaeological attention in the past, uncontrolled metal-detection has been intensive over recent years. The unrecorded leaching of material, coupled with the diverse range of artefacts known to have been retrieved in detection has been one of the principal catalysts behind the adoption of this survey. The data was collected both from previous aerial photographic surveys and metal detectorists with whom a working relationship had been established, and in geophysical survey and field walking undertaken by the author. Survey methodology and the results of the different components of the survey are presented in chapters 2 to 6. Initial interpretations of the features identified from the aerial photographic and geophysical survey are proposed and the main chronological and spatial trends m the distribution of pottery, coins and other small finds are summarised. Chapter 7 compares the results obtained from the different classes of evidence and refines the interpretations offered for the development of the site through time and space. Specific issues considered are the origins of the settlement, its internal organisation and extent and its relationship with nearby Littleborough. The final chapter compares Marton with other sites in the region and sites of a similar type in Roman Britain. A series of hypotheses are then proposed concerning the nature of the site and its function and evolution in its local landscape
American public journalism versus other international media models
No full textChapter 2 of 'International Journalism and Democracy' provides examples of what the author dubs "deliberative journalism". Following a definition of deliberative journalism in Chapter 1, the book's second chapter examines major models of deliberative journalism that are in operation around the world. These models include public journalism, citizen journalism, community and alternative media, development journalism and peace journalism. \ud

The author argues that when these new forms of journalism are practiced well, they extend people's ability to identify, express, understand and respond to politics and issues affecting their communities. However, the main models of deliberative journalism all have contentious elements. Many deliberative journalism practioners have been subjected to criticism for lack of objectivity and poor professional standards. Many of their activities have clearly been ill-conceived. The author also finds that neither professional nor citizen journalists have a strong understanding of what constitutes "good practice" in deliberative journalism. Furthermore, there is much debate as to whether the type of "citizen journalism" that is posted intermittently on Facebook, Twitter, blogs and other social media can even be defined as "journalism". The practice of deliberative journalism can potentially contribute to public deliberation, but it does not always do so in any immediate or obvious way. The author finds that even so, deliberative journalism indirectly strengthens the environments that support fertile deliberation and decision making. (See the Extended Abstract for further details.
Are unreachable methods harmful? Results from a controlled experiment
No full textIn this paper, we present the results of a controlled experiment conducted to assess whether the presence of unreachable methods in source code affects source code comprehensibility and modifiability. A total of 47 undergraduate students at the University of Basilicata participated in this experiment. We divided the participants in two groups. The participants in the first group were asked to comprehend code base containing unreachable methods and implement five change requests in that code base. The participants in the second group were asked to accomplish exactly the same tasks as the participants in the first group, however, the source code provided to them did not contain any unreachable methods. The results of the study indicate that code comprehensibility is significantly higher when source code does not contain unreachable methods. However, we did not observe a statistically significant difference for code modifiability. From these results, we distill lessons and implications for practitioners as well as possible avenues for further research

More cohesive, still divergent: Western Europe, the US and the Madrid CSCE follow-up meeting
No full textThis chapter analyzes the degree of transatlantic consensus on East-West relations and related policy through the lenses of the Madrid Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) Follow-up Meeting, 1980–1983. While acknowledging some Western common actions and significant improvements in Western unity at Madrid, the chapter shows that significant differences persisted between the two sides of the Atlantic on how to approach the CSCE process, and East-WEst relations in general. Western cohesion at the CSCE meeting was more the result of the choice to preserve the Alliance in a period of severe strain than a convergence on common positions. In fact, the EC polity refused to espouse US confrontational approach and worked instead to preserve European détente and its most visible tool – the CSCE.This chapter is the result of research conducted by the author while at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, EUI as Jean Monnet Fellow 2009-10
