No full textHeather Mcclelland is a chartered psychologist and researcher at the University of Glasgow studying mental health. She took part in HERStory Makers 2023.What is HERStory Makers?HERStory Makers is a social media competition for female-identifying early career researchers to share their research, their career journeys, and to inspire the next generation. Winners are selected by public vote. HERStory Makers is also part of EXPLORATHON, Scotland's contribution to European Researchers' Night.In 2022-23, EXPLORATHON was supported by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number EP/X020762/1].Author contributions to contentHeather Mcclelland conceived, planned, and recorded the video content. Kirsty Ross edited the video content to insert HERStory Maker credits, add subtitles, and ensured the video length was below Twitter/X limit of 2 mins and 20 secs.</p
RoMEO Studies 5: IPR issues for OAI Data and Service Providers
No full textThis paper is the fifth in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It reports the results of two surveys of OAI Data Providers (DPs) and Service Providers (SPs) with regards to the rights issues they face. It finds that very few DPs have rights agreements with depositing authors and that there is no standard approach to the creation of rights metadata. The paper considers the rights protection afforded individual and collections of metadata records under UK Law and contrasts this with DP and SP’s views on the rights status of metadata and how they wish to protect it. The majority of DP and SPs believe that a standard way of describing both the rights status of documents and of metadata would be usefu
FIGURE 2 in Repatriating a lost name: notes on McClelland and Griffith's Cobitis boutanensis (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae)
No full textFIGURE 2. Map of Griffith's expedition (base map from Griffith and McClelland 1848) through Bhutan, and a generalized range map of Aborichthys boutanensis in southern Bhutan (lighter oval) based on observations of first author (RJT). Bhutan's modern border is superimposed (green area). The brown line is the path taken by Griffith.Published as part of Thoni, Ryan J. & Hart, Robbie, 2015, Repatriating a lost name: notes on McClelland and Griffith's Cobitis boutanensis (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae), pp. 291-294 in Zootaxa 3999 (2) on page 293, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3999.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/24188
Midnight in vehicle city : telling the story of the Flint sit-down strike
No full textEdward "Ted" McClelland, author of "Midnight in vehicle city: General Motors, Flint, and the strike that created the middle class", delivers a Zoom presentation titled "Midnight in vehicle city: telling the story of the Flint sit-down strike." Ted talks about his new book on the strike that pitted the upstart union, the United Autoworkers, against the biggest corporation in the world, General Motors. He speaks about what inspired the book, his own experiences in the plant and with the union, growing up in the Lansing area, and then answers questions from the audience. Hosted by MSU Professor John Beck
Mary, Mothers, Lament, and Feminist Theology: The Dead Non-War Heroes of Nagasaki
No full textIn this essay, McClelland introduces some reflections of Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors about the loss of their mothers and some of their experiences of motherhood in the aftermath, utilizing a feminist lens to analyze the effects of the bomb. Japanese feminist Chizuko Ueno has written that those women who died might be signified as “non-war heroes” in an East Asian context where the “war-heroes” are traditionally male. The author draws on Kwok Pui-Lan's postcolonial theology of religious difference and Shelly Rambo's mixed terrain of remembering to discuss how and to what degree the violence and rupture of the atomic bombing is contested in the memory of the survivors. McClelland describes how the narratives of the Catholic survivors contain a common thread about Mary, whom they implicitly perceive as an expression of a “female face of God.” The interviews considered here were collected between 2014 and 2016 as part of a larger historical project that employed a theological lens in describing the interpretation of Catholic memory of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki
Defending National Park Idealism: The Mystique: Memoirs from a Career in the National Park Service, Part 2, 1965-93
No full textA unique idealism, a mystique, is the foundation of the National Park Idea. It will not survive without advocacy and consistent defense. These memoirs follow that theme in a nearly day-to-day record of the author’s experience working for the National Park Service and the University of Montana.
Part 2 covers 1965-1993, during which the author worked for the National Park Service in Glacier National Park and for the University of Montana as a School of Forestry faculty member.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/mcclelland/1001/thumbnail.jp
Victorian Churches and Churchmen: Essays Presented to Vincent Alan McClelland
No full textJeffrey P. von Arx, S.J. is a contributing author, Cardinal Manning and his political persona: the education act of 1870 p. 1.
The major themes of Catholic historiography and the history of education during the Victorian era unite the essays collected here, as is fitting for a volume honouring the work in these fields of Professor Vincent Alan McClelland. There is a particular emphasis upon the life and work of Cardinal Manning; other figures and topics considered include Father Randal Lythgoe, Cardinal Newman, the English Benedictine contribution to the British Empire, modern Scottish Catholic history, and Victorian Christianity in its various forms, as in the essays on Methodism and the Church of Ireland. - Publisher descriptionhttps://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/history-books/1002/thumbnail.jp
Is utility in the mind of the beholder? A review of ergonomics methods
No full textThis paper reviews the use of ergonomics methods in the context of usability of consumer products. A review of the literature indicated that there is upward of 60 methods available to the ergonomist. The results of the survey indicated that questionnaires, interviews and observation are the most frequently reported methods used. Ease of use of the methods was dependent upon type of method used, presence of software support and type of training received. Strong links were found between questionnaires and interviews as a combined approach, as well as with HTA and observation. However, a questionnaire survey of professional ergonomists found that none of the respondents had any documented evidence of the reliability and validity of the methods they were using. A study of training people to use ergonomics' methods indicated the different requirements of the approaches, in terms of training time, application time and subjective preferences. An important goal for future research is to establish the reliability and validity of ergonomics methods
Modelling individual variability in cognitive development
No full textInvestigating variability in reasoning tasks can provide insights into key issues in the study of cognitive development. These include the mechanisms that underlie developmental transitions, and the distinction between individual differences and developmental disorders. We explored the mechanistic basis of variability in two connectionist models of cognitive development, a model of the Piagetian balance scale task (McClelland, 1989) and a model of the Piagetian conservation task (Shultz, 1998). For the balance scale task, we began with a simple feed-forward connectionist model and training patterns based on McClelland (1989). We investigated computational parameters, problem encodings, and training environments that contributed to variability in development, both across groups and within individuals. We report on the parameters that affect the complexity of reasoning and the nature of ‘rule’ transitions exhibited by networks learning to reason about balance scale problems. For the conservation task, we took the task structure and problem encoding of Shultz (1998) as our base model. We examined the computational parameters, problem encodings, and training environments that contributed to variability in development, in particular examining the parameters that affected the emergence of abstraction. We relate the findings to existing cognitive theories on the causes of individual differences in development
