Facing the Future: the Changing Shape of Academic Skills Support at Bournemouth University
No full textThis paper explores the potential impact of changes to higher education in England on student expectations, engagement, lifestyles and diversity, and outlines implications for the development of digital literacy within academic skills support at Bournemouth University (BU). We will investigate how tackling resource constraints with organisational change can also enable efficient, centralised provision of support materials that utilise networks to overcome the risk of fragmented support for digital literacy. We will also look at how changing delivery modes for support can accommodate changing student lifestyles whilst tackling a weakness of centralised support for digital literacy: that it can become detached from the student’s subject-focused academic practice. Finally we will explore how involving students in developing support can help us to face changes to student expectations and engagement whilst ensuring that materials are authentic and speak to learners in their own voice

Coercing change: balancing rights, justice and health
No full textBritain is undergoing its biggest change in drug policy and practice ever — and most of it without a shred of evidence to back it up. Despite mountains of evidence that community treatment works, criminal interventions, such as DTTOs, are still being extended, expanded and re‐invented across the UK — at huge cost to the UK taxpayer and at the expense of other forms of treatment. Neil Hunt is part of a pan‐European research study looking at coercive treatment within the criminal justice system. We reveal what the government is not telling us about their crime agenda.</jats:p

Maximizing Research Impact Through Institutional and National Open-Access Self-Archiving Mandates
No full textNo research institution can afford all the journals its researchers may need, so all articles are losing research impact (usage and citations). Articles made “Open Access,” (OA) by self-archiving them on the web are cited twice as much, but only 15% of articles are being spontaneously self-archived. The only institutions approaching 100% self-archiving are those that mandate it. Surveys show that 95% of authors will comply with a self-archiving mandate; the actual expe-rience of institutions with mandates has confirmed this. What institutions and funders need to mandate is that (1) immediately upon acceptance for publication, (2) the author’s final draft must be (3) deposited into the Institutional Repository. Only the depositing needs to be mandated; set-ting access privileges to the full-text as either OA or Restricted Access (RA) can be left up to the author. For articles published in the 93% of journals that have already endorsed self-archiving, access can be set as OA immediately; for the remaining 7%, authors can email the eprint in re-sponse to individual email requests automatically forwarded by the Repository

Assessing teleconnections patterns in climate models using a combination of point correlation maps and self-organizing maps
No full textA new method to identify and evaluate teleconnection patterns in gridded climate data is presented. A large set of point correlation maps (one for each grid point) is used to train a self-organizing map (SOM). This combines the teleconnection identification properties of point correlation maps with the ability of SOMs to group similar patterns together on a topological grid and provides a frequency of occurrence for each pattern. Once the SOM is trained it is used as a reference for comparison to other sets of correlation maps. A SOM trained using point correlation maps calculated from NCEP/NCAR sea level pressure reanalysis for the period 01.1948-12.2005 is presented and the patterns found compared to point correlation maps from several climate models. By matching each NCEP/NCAR correlation map and each model correlation map with their most similar pattern on the SOM, discrepancies between the datasets are revealed, such as differences in the frequency of occurrence or shifts in the spatial structure of teleconnections. The base points corresponding to the correlation maps for each teleconnection show the regions important for their existence. Differences in the base point locations between NCEP/NCAR and the models provide insight into the physical biases underlying the model deviations from reality. Prominent patterns are identified by the SOM, such as the NAO, ENSO and the PNA, however the flexibility of the SOM allows these patterns to be viewed as a continuum of patterns, each identifiable as a variation within a defined teleconnection. As the SOM is a non-linear method, asymmetries between patterns generated from opposite centres of action are revealed. Clustering the SOM patterns identifies the regions of the SOM corresponding to each teleconnection type by classifying similar patterns together, which retains the continuum of patterns, but allows general characterization of the teleconnections present in the data
