The Australian Research Quality Framework: A live experiment in capturing the social, economic, environmental, and cultural returns of publicly funded research
No full textCopyright @ 2008 Wiley Periodicals Inc. This is the accepted version of the following article: Donovan, C. (2008), The Australian Research Quality Framework: A live experiment in capturing the social, economic, environmental, and cultural returns of publicly funded research. New Directions for Evaluation, 2008: 47–60, which has been published in final form at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ev.260/abstract.The author regards development of Australia's ill-fated Research Quality Framework (RQF) as a “live experiment” in determining the most appropriate approach to evaluating the extra-academic returns, or “impact,” of a nation's publicly funded research. The RQF was at the forefront of an international movement toward richer qualitative, contextual approaches that aimed to gauge the wider economic, social, environmental, and cultural benefits of research. Its construction and implementation sent mixed messages and created confusion about what impact is, and how it is best measured, to the extent that this bold live experiment did not come to fruition
Gradgrinding the Social Sciences: The Politics of Metrics of Political Science
No full textCopyright @ 2009 The AuthorThis article employs an interpretive approach, and in the light of contributions to this symposium by Butler and McAllister, and McLean et al., holds that metrics of research ‘quality’ are socially constructed and hence are as ‘subjective’ as peer review. Thus it rejects the use of stand-alone metrics as an ‘objective’ basis to inform funding allocations. Rather, the optimum method of ‘quality’ assessment is a panel-based exercise with expert judgement informed by a range of discipline-sensitive metrics and peer review of publications. The article maintains that the politics of metrics of political science conceals interests about the foundations of social scientific knowledge, and so the dispute over metrics and peer review is a metaphor for the conflicting epistemological preferences of UK political scientists. It is also argued that metrics-led assessment subjects political science to ‘Gradgrinding’ on two fronts: that political science departments amount to less than the sum of their parts, and the audit culture strips the discipline of its humanism
Evlenmeyin: Nasıl, Ne Zaman Ve Kiminle Evlenilebileceği Üzerine Tavsiyeler
No full textJames W. Donovan's "Don't Marry" ( Evlenmeyin Nasıl, Ne Zaman Ve Kiminle Evlenilebileceği Üzerine Tavsiyeler) is an advice book written in the late 19th century that deals with the institution of marriage and partner selection. Translated into Turkish by Umut Yarım, this work starts from the premise that marriage is a serious partnership rather than a romantic dream. The author warns young people against making hasty decisions and lists the points to be considered to achieve happiness in marriage. The book covers topics such as the characteristics of the ideal spouse, character compatibility, the importance of financial status, and the difficulties that may be encountered in marriage in detail. While seeking answers to fundamental questions such as "Who to marry?" and "When to marry?", Donovan also examines the causes of unhappy marriages. Although the work reflects the social norms of the period, it encourages the reader to make conscious and prudent choices by offering universal observations on human relationships. The author's aim is not to reject marriage completely, but to protect against the regrets of marriages made with the wrong person or at the wrong time.James W. Donovan'ın "Evlenmeyin" (Don't Marry) adlı eseri, evlilik kurumunu ve eş seçimini ele alan, 19. yüzyıl sonlarında yazılmış bir tavsiye kitabıdır. Umut Yarım tarafından Türkçeye çevrilen bu çalışma, evliliğin romantik bir hayalden ziyade ciddi bir ortaklık olduğu gerçeğinden yola çıkar. Yazar, gençleri aceleci kararlar vermemeleri konusunda uyarır ve evlilikte mutluluğu yakalamak için dikkat edilmesi gereken hususları sıralar. Kitapta, ideal eşin özellikleri, karakter uyumu, maddi durumun önemi ve evlilikte karşılaşılabilecek zorluklar gibi konular detaylı bir şekilde işlenir. Donovan, "Kiminle evlenmeli?" ve "Ne zaman evlenmeli?" gibi temel sorulara yanıt ararken, mutsuz evliliklerin nedenlerini de irdeler. Eser, dönemin toplumsal normlarını yansıtmakla birlikte, insan ilişkilerine dair evrensel gözlemler sunarak okuyucuyu bilinçli ve sağduyulu seçimler yapmaya teşvik eder. Yazarın amacı evliliği tamamen reddetmek değil, yanlış kişiyle veya yanlış zamanda yapılan evliliklerin getireceği pişmanlıklardan korumaktır

Protein quality of two cultivars of lupin seeds evaluated in weanling rats
No full textFor 3 weeks, 128 male Sprague-Dawley rats, 3 weeks old, were fed on diets containing no protein, casein, soyabean meal, roasted or raw soyabeans, or sweet white lupin (Lupinus albus) cultivar Primorski or Ultra without or with 0.1% lysine or 0.2% methionine. Relative net protein ratio (RNPR) (casein = 100%) of lupins Primorski and Ultra supplemented with methionine was 81.1 and 79.1%, respectively, and was higher than that for roasted soyabeans (71.4%) (P http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0377-8401&isbn=&volume=33&issue=1-2&spage=87&pages=87-95&date=1991&title=Animal%20Feed%20Science%20and%20Technology&atitle=Protein%20quality%20of%20two%20cultivars%20of%20lupin%20seeds%20evaluated%20in%20weanling%20rats.&aulast=Donovan&pid=%3Cauthor%3EDonovan%2c%20B%20C%3bMcNiven%2c%20M%20A%3bMacLeod%2c%20J%20A%3bAnderson%2c%20D%20M%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19911432205%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3

Measuring the Impact of Public and Private Assets on Household Crop Income in Rural Mozambique, 2002-2005
No full textThis brief summarizes detailed analysis of the determinants of household crop income in rural Mozambique from 2002 to 2005. Increased crop income is associated with increases in household land area, use of animal traction, crop diversification into tobacco or cotton, access to market price information, and access to extension agents (for tobacco/cotton growers). Decreases in crop income are associated with drought. Results demonstrate that there are both public and private investments that can enhance farmers’ ability to increase crop income and avoid losses. Priority investments include: development and dissemination of drought-resistant varieties for maize and cassava, conservation farming, animal traction, market information, access to high-value crops and small-scale irrigation.agriculture, africa, mozambique, food security, assets, household, rural, Agricultural and Food Policy, Community/Rural/Urban Development, Consumer/Household Economics, Food Security and Poverty, International Development, q12,
