documentation of new library buildings in Cambridge
No full textThis book has its origins in a paper entitled "Recent developments in Cambridge college libraries", presented by Alison Wilson, Librarian of New Hall, Cambridge, at the LIBER Architecture Group Conference, "Changing Needs, Changing Libraries", which took place in Utrecht in March 2006. At the conference, Professor Elmar Mittler, Chairman of the LIBER Architecture Group, was so struck by the scale and quality of library building that had been undertaken in Cambridge over the last couple of decades that he decided to commission this volume in the series of Göttinger Bibliotheksschriften to document that development
A methodological approach to researching the development of teachers’ knowledge in a multi-representational technological setting.
No full textThis chapter details the methodological approach adopted within a doctoral study that sought to apply and expand Verillon and Rabardel’s (1995) triad of instrumented activity as a means to understand the longitudinal epistemological development of a group of secondary mathematics teachers as they began to integrate a complex new multi-representational technology (Clark-Wilson, 2010b). The research was carried out in two phases. The initial phase involved fifteen teachers who contributed a total of sixty-six technology-mediated classroom activities to the study. The second phase adopted a case study methodology during which the two selected teachers contributed a further fourteen activities. The chapter provides insight into the methodological tools and processes that were developed to support an objective, systematic and robust analysis of a complex set of qualitative classroom data. The subsequent analysis of this data, supported by questionnaires and interviews, led to a number of conclusions relating to the nature of the teachers’ individual technology-mediated learning
Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
No full textIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline

Meanings of Interaction Among Musicians Improvising (MIAMI)
No full textPost-genre improvisation is a key direction in current music, and is aligned with trends in other arts (e.g. performance and sound art, collaborative or process-based practice). Collective improvisation demonstrates a universal capacity for social, spontaneous and non-verbal creativity. Although the complexity of this unique artistic and psychological process is poorly conceptualised, it has parallels to discourse models of interaction, suggesting that insight can best be gained through close attention to how specific performance events are rationalised by performers.
This dataset consists of sound recordings of improvisations by five trios of free improvisers. They were recorded for a qualitative psychological study into the processes of group improvisation, carried out by Raymond MacDonald and Graeme Wilson (Reid School of Music, ECA, University of Edinburgh) in 2014. The recordings were used to structure subsequent individual interviews with the improvisers, exploring their understanding of the choices made during their piece.

Abstract: Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) are the most widely used cell therapy to date. They are heterogeneous, with variations in growth potential, differentiation capacity and protein expression profile depending on tissue source and production process. Nomenclature and defining characteristics have been debated for almost 20 years, yet the generic term “MSC” is used to cover a wide range of cellular phenotypes. Against a documented lack of definition of cellular populations used in clinical trials, our study evaluated the extent of characterization of the cellular population or study drug. A literature search of clinical trials involving mesenchymal stem/stromal cells was refined to 84 papers upon application of pre-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Thirty-two studies (38.1%) include no characterization data whatsoever. Forty-one (48.8%) reported average values per marker for all cell lots used in the trial, and only eleven (13.1%) studies included individual values per cell lot. Viability was reported in 57% of studies. Differentiation was discussed: osteogenesis (29% of papers) adipogenesis (27%) and chondrogenesis (20%); and other functional assays arose in 6 papers (7%). Extent of characterization was not related to clinical phase of development. Assessment of functionality was very limited and did not always relate to likely mechanism of action. We discuss the potential implications of these findings for the use of MSCs in regenerative medicine, and the importance of characterization for transparency and comparability of literature
