No full textMary Carty, entrepreneur and author, observed how our thinking about cultural products and practices can become siloed. The solution is to invest in and develop our capacity for collaborative practice, cutting cuts across artificial divisions between the arts and the cultural industries.
Thank you all for having me here today, it’s an honour to be here. There are two points I want to talk about that struck me from listening to all the conversations today. The first one is, where do we put cultural products and what are they? The second one is about collaboration. We’ve talked so much about collaboration today and I have a few ideas around that that I’d like to share
Australian Radio History : An in-depth study into the development of A.M. radio broadcasting throughout Australia
No full text“Australian Radio History” by Bruce Carty Ph.D
Bruce Carty started his interest in radio at the age of five as a member of the A.B.C. “Argonauts” Club. By seven his radio interest was listening to A.B.C. news broadcasts. By twelve Bruce was avidly following the 2UE Top 40, and at fourteen he became Australia’s youngest commercial radio announcer in 1963 with radio 2KA in Katoomba. - Author\u27s website.https://creo.sae.edu.au/ebooks/1005/thumbnail.jp

Old Enemies: A Satire
No full textIn an America running on algorithms, outrage, and half-truths, ex-journalist Moses Shea is down on his luck. Blacklisted in New York, dumped by the only woman he ever loved, he has one skill that might save him--he\u27s a wizard at languages. His last chance comes through his old Harvard pal Nick Carty, whose business empire could use a man of Moses\u27 talents. But when his new job lands him on the campus of a defunct Catholic college, the disgraced newspaperman gets pulled back into the news. --Publisher description.https://crossworks.holycross.edu/hc_books/1057/thumbnail.jp
Mexican American Students: A Case Study of the Saginaw Public Schools
No full textSince the early 1900's Mexican people have been arriving in the United States seeking work as migrant laborers. Many have chosen the Midwest as their home.This thesis studies this movement and its particular ramifications on the Mexican American population who settled in Saginaw, Michigan. Although Mexican Americans faced many adverse conditions relating to work, housing, safety issues, and education, a strong community was established in Saginaw. This community has grown and prospered. However, it continues to struggle with many of the same issues that faced the original migrant laborers over ninety years ago. In this thesis, the argument is presented that the lack of educational achievement by Mexican American students in the Saginaw Public Schools can be directly attributed to an educational system which has neglected the physical, emotional and cultural needs of Mexican American students. The relationship between the historical basis for this discrimination and the continuing educational crises of the Mexican American student in the 90's is explored in detail, with a look at the many educational difficulties specific to the Mexican American student. This work also examines the current use of standardized tests and how the resulting scores and their interpretation contribute to the labeling of Mexican American students as underachievers. It further examines the under-reporting of dropout data as reported by the school district of Saginaw and analyzes the true dropout data, as presented by this author, that has been calculated by examining records for the years 1992 through 1996. Mexican American students are both a part of and apart from the current educational system in Saginaw. The author further delineates the ways in which the Mexican American student is affected by this profound combination of ostracism and inclusion.Master'sCollege of Arts and Sciences: Liberal StudiesUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/117898/1/Rico.pd
The interacting effects of temperature and plant community type on nutrient removal in wetland microcosms
No full textFour wetland plant species (Scirpus validus, Carex lacustris, Phalaris arundinacea, and Typha latifolia) were grown in monoculture and as a four-species mixture to compare effectiveness of nutrient removal in controlled 18.93-l outdoor subsurface treatment wetland microcosms. A nutrient treatment that mimicked single-resident domestic effluent consisted of two levels of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) [low (56 mg/l N and 31 mg/l P) and high (112 mg/l N and 62 mg/l P)] of nutrient solution applied three times weekly. The plants were established and maintained for one year before the nutrient treatment and monthly water sampling
commenced; water sampling began July 31, 2001 and ended October 23, 2001. We tested four hypotheses: (1) vegetated microcosms are more effective at reducing concentrations of total N and total P from soil leachate than unvegetated, (2) there is a differential species effect on the potential to reduce N and P, (3) plant mixtures are more effective than monocultures at reducing N and P, and (4) the microcosms will be least effective at reducing N and P concentrations in October compared to August. We found support for hypotheses 1, 2, and 4, but our results are inconclusive for the third hypothesis. Total N and total P in the soil leachate were significantly higher from unvegetated microcosms compared to vegetated. S. validus was most effective and P. arundinacea was generally least effective at reducing N and P in monocultures, with treatment capabilities similar to unvegetated microcosms. The four-species mixture was generally highly effective at nutrient removal, however the results were not significantly different from the monocultures. At the end of the growing season (October) treatment efficiency was significantly less than earlier months, especially for the unvegetated treatment.Peer reviewedTreatment wetlandPhytoremediationNitrogenPhosphoru

Parvodinium gen. nov. for the Umbonatum Group of Peridinium (Dinophyceae)
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Biological and Environmental Science, Heidelberg UniversityPeridinium is a genus of freshwater thecate dinoflagellate. Because it was one of the earliest named genera (Ehrenberg
1832), many species placed in it were later removed to other genera. Genera continue to be extracted and Peridinium, while more closely defined, still harbors groups of species unlike the type species, P. cinctum. It is the goal of this paper to remove one of the most dissimilar groups, the Umbonatum Group. Peridinium cinctum has no apical pore, three apical intercalary plates and
five cingular plates. Species in the Umbonatum Group have an apical pore, two apical intercalary plates and six cingular plates warranting their separation into a new genus, Parvodinium
Teacher and administrator perceptions of the effectiveness of a teacher evaluation system and its impact on student learning, 2017
No full textThe purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of teachers and administrators perception of the effectiveness of a teacher evaluation system to the effects of the system on student learning. Teacher surveys were administered electronically and administrator and teacher focus group discussions were held to determine the relationship between the following variables: Teacher perception of evaluation activities, teacher perception of the effectiveness of the evaluation system, administrators perception of evaluation activities, administrator perception of the effectiveness of the evaluation activities, professional development of teachers and teacher perception of the effects of the evaluation system on student learning.
