Learning dispositions and the role of mutual engagement: factors for consideration in educational settings
No full textThis article describes an emerging theoretical framework for examining relationships between learning dispositions and learning architecture. Three domains of learning dispositions - resilience, reciprocity and imagination - are discussed in relation to the structures and processes of early childhood education settings and new entrant classrooms. This framework was developed during the analysis of the data collected for the Dispositions in Social Context project, funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund and headed by Anne B. Smith and Margaret Carr. This article includes examples from this research project, which explored the relationship between learning architecture and the dispositions of children within these education contexts
Analysis of the retail survey of products that carry welfare- claims and of non-retailer led assurance schemes whose logos accompany welfare-claims.
No full textThis report serves two aims. Firstly, this report contains analysis of the retail audit
(sub-deliverable 1.2.2.1) of welfare-friendly food products in the 6 study countries.
The report gives the results of an emerging comparative analysis of the ‘market’ for
welfare-friendly food products in the 6 study countries. It also outlines ‘non-retailer’
led schemes1 whose products occurred in the study. In this way, an emerging picture
of the actual product ranges, that make claims about welfare-friendliness, will be
drawn based on fieldwork carried out from November 2004 until April 2005. Also,
the report explores how the different legislative and voluntary standards on animal
welfare compare across different countries and how these actively advertise their
welfare-friendlier component to consumers through food packaging. <br/
Wind Energy Exchanges and Rural Development in Italy
No full textThe aim of this paper is to show the importance of wind energy in the development of Italian rural areas. The frame in which to pursue this objective is twofold: on the one side, there is the literature on regional or local development; on the other, the shift towards more flexible forms of administration. The two perspectives can perhaps be unified into the broad idea of the governance of local development. This means the inclusion of private and non-profit organisations in the management of public goods like the environment and localities. Wind energy is a suitable test case with which to understand such process. It arises at a time when local development policies have exhausted their main “assets”, such as inter-sector interventions and place identity promotion, and when political trends are moving towards the decentralisation and outsourcing of administrative functions. Thus, wind energy should be a new source of revenue for rural areas, and management of its development should be assigned to local authorities or to mixed agencies. But the ways in which renewable energies are happening in rural areas are various. The theoretical ‘glue’ will be exchange: this category should clarify the more symmetrical relationships that are replacing the command and control principle typical of public administration. Moreover, it would enable better specification of the purported process of the energy colonisation of rural areas
Assessment of the Stop and Go function using real driving behaviour
No full textThe paper reports on initial findings concerning the assessment and design of the Stop-and-Go ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) functionality, which allows low speed distance keeping between successive vehicles. The work is part of the Motorway Operations project being undertaken in the UK, dealing with understanding driver behaviour, and assessing and designing existing and new types of ADAS. The research presented examines the suitability of current Stop-and-Go control algorithms by undertaking a comparison between output from a micro-simulation model and time series data collected using an instrumented vehicle deployed during rush hour on the A35 in Southampton in the UK. The paper focuses on the impact of differing acceleration/deceleration policies, as well as examining how the algorithm copes with the sharp decelerations required during shockwaves. The paper concludes that unassisted drivers react earlier than the current algorithm, perhaps due to anticipation. More complex algorithms may need to be applied to match human performance in the complex low speed environmen
From fly-by-wire to drive-by-wire: Safety implications of automation in vehicles
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to critically review the current trend in automobile engineering toward automation of many of the functions previously performed by the driver. Working on the assumption that automation in aviation represents the basic model for driver automation, the costs and benefits of automation in aviation are explored as a means of establishing where automation of drivers' tasks are likely to yield benefits. It is concluded that there are areas where automation can provide benefits to the driver, but there are other areas where this is unlikely to be the case. Automation per se does not guarantee success, and therefore it becomes vital to involve Human Factors into design to identify where automation of driver functions can be allocated with a beneficial outcome for driving performance
Use of Vibrio spp. for expression of E. coli enterotoxin B subunit fusion proteins: purification and characterization of a chimera containing a C-terminal fragment of DNA polymerase from herpes virus type 1.
No full textThe non-toxic B subunit of E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin (EtxB) is a convenient carrier molecule for the attachment and delivery of heterologous peptides into eukaryotic cells. To evaluate the properties of such EtxB-based fusion proteins an efficient method for their production and purification is required. High level production and purification of native EtxB has been achieved using heterologous expression and secretion in a marine vibrio [Amin, T., and Hirst, T. R. (1994) Protein. Expr. Purif. 5, 198-204]. However, the use of this method to isolate EtxB-fusion proteins has been precluded because of their susceptibilty to degradation by extracellular proteases secreted by members of the Vibrionaceae. In this paper a method is described for production of EtxB-pol, comprising the enterotoxin B-subunit linked to a 27 residue C-terminal fragment of POL, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Following assessment of the relative efficacy of different Vibrio strains as hosts for EtxB-pol expression, the chimera was produced at the highest level of 3.5 mg/l by cultures of Vibrio sp.60. Addition of 0.3 mM EDTA to the growth medium blocked proteolysis of the secreted EtxB-pol fusion protein, which was then purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate fractionation and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, with a yield of 57%. Purified EtxB-pol reacted with both anti-EtxB and anti-pol peptide antibodies, and was able to specifically bind UL42, a processivity factor which normally binds to the C-terminal region of HSV-1 POL. This modified method for expression and purification of EtxB-pol should be of general utility for the preparation of other EtxB-based fusion proteins
