A magyar tudományos könyvtárak lepusztulása az elmúlt 25 évben - Szemle az élettudományi folyóirat-állományok fölött
No full textThe author shows, with the aid of tables, the continuous reductions in journal collections over the past 25 years, including many core journal titles in the life sciences in special libraries. The author expresses his regret toward the large cutbacks in journal acquisitions which have contributed to the decline of these libraries. The tables also reflect the present qualities of scholars in the life sciences in Hungary.Szerzőnk az MKE körmendi vándorgyűlésén tartott előadásában feltűnést keltett (még napjaink szabad szókimondást toleráló körülményei közepette is) kíméletlennek tetsző retorikájával. Ezt - s ez a legkevesebb - „átmentette" itteni cikkébe is. Tehette bátran, mivel az ő kíméletlennek látszó retorikájának semmi köze sincs a hazánkban olyannyira honos, adatokkal alá nem támasztott „intuitív" retorikákhoz. Marton - mondhatni örömünkre - maximálisan egzakt, és - mondhatni bánatunkra - másutt is, más diszciplínák ellátását illetően is igaza lehet neki
Beyond Lesson Studies and Design Experiments: Using theoretical tools in practice and finding out how they work
No full textThis paper aims to illustrate how fruitful insights into the link between school teaching practice and student learning outcomes can be theoretically grounded by the variation theory from the field of phenomenography; and from this framework demonstrate how a 'pedagogy of awareness' can be implemented in the classroom. In this study, five teachers and 162 students at Primary Four level of school education in Hong Kong participated and the practice of the 'learning study' was adopted. By comparing the results of pre- and posttests, a significant gain was observed in the students learning outcomes.
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
How the Geographic Diversity of Editorial Boards Affects What Is Published in JCR-Ranked Communication Journals
No full textThis article tests whether the geographic diversity of editorial boards affects the diversity of research papers. Based on a content analysis of 84 journals listed in the Journal Citation Report, we show that diverse editorial boards are more likely to publish more diverse research articles, based on the country of origin of the first author and on where the data were collected. Our findings also indicate a negative association between (a) the impact factor and diversity of the research approach, (b) the journal’s affiliation to an academic association and diversity in the first author’s country of origin and the country of data collection, and (c) the founding year of the publication and the country of data collection. Finally, the founding year of the publication is explored as a moderator
