Abstract:
Purpose – In order to contribute to the understanding of affective commitment towards distinct workplace targets, the purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a Multitarget Affective Commitment Scale (MACS) through two data collections. The MACS uses similarly worded items for distinct targets and reflects the most recent theoretical development of affective commitment. Design/methodology/approach – In the first data collection, items from previous commitment scales were tested through the social network service Facebook (n=305). The second data collection was conducted in the healthcare system of Denmark (n=496) using survey questionnaires. Findings – In Study 1, exploratory factor analyses were conducted to reduce the items based on the Facebook data. In Study 2, the authors confirm the findings of Study 1 and further reduce the items based on the healthcare sample. The healthcare sample is also used in Study 3, where the authors validate the MACS by investigating its relationship with predictors, correlates, and outcomes. Originality/value – The results suggest that the MACS are a reliable and valid measure of affective commitment compatible with the diverse targets to which affective commitment often occurs. Consequently, the MACS is applicable for research investigating multiply affective commitments, thereby advancing the understanding of interactions between affective commitments and diverse targets, among other applications.

Abstract:
The Commitment to Health Scale (CHS) was developed to predict likelihood of clients being able to permanently adopt new health-promoting behaviors. Commitment is based on the association between starting new health behaviors and long-term performance of those behaviors. The CHS evolved from an examination of Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change Algorithm, Decisional Balance Scale, and Strong and Weak Principle (Velicer, Rossi, Prochaska, & DiClemente, 1996). Scale items were assessed by classical and Rasch measurement methods. The research was performed in three separate studies at various locations in the United States and included approximately 1,100 subjects. A new unidimensional variable was identified called Commitment to Health. Internal consistency reliability of the scale was .94 (Cronbach’s alpha). External validity and reliability were assessed based on expected and observed ordering and between known groups. Scale scores predicted self-reported health behaviors and body mass index.

Abstract:
In order to explore the specific influence mechanism of professional commitment on subjective Well-being, this paper makes a research questionnaire based on professional commitment scale, subjective Well-being scale, academic Self-efficacy scale and social support scale, and surveys 356 college students nationwide. The obtained data are analyzed empirically using SPSS22.0 and Amos22.0. The results show that: (1) Professional commitment and academic Self-efficacy can positively predict subjective Well-being; (2) Academic Self-efficacy has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between professional commitment and subjective Well-being; (3) The moderating effect of social support occurs in the direct path of professional commitment’s influence on subjective Well-being and the indirect path of professional commitment’s influence on academic Self-efficacy. By constructing a moderated mediation model, this study reveals the mechanism of professional commitment on subjective Well-being, and provides reference for analyzing, predicting, shaping and correcting college students’ cognition and behavior, as well as helping to solve their psychological problems.

Abstract:
The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Dutch and Italian versions of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS) in large community samples of adolescents from Italy (N = 1,975) and The Netherlands (N = 1,521). Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the three-factor model, consisting of commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment, provided a better fit to the data than alternative one- and two-factor models. The three-factor model fit equivalently across sex and across age groups (early and middle adolescents). Furthermore, we demonstrated cross-national equivalence of the factor structure of the U-MICS. Additionally, results indicated that the latent means for commitment were higher in the Dutch sample, while latent means for both in-depth exploration and reconsideration of commitment were substantially higher in the Italian sample. The three identity processes were found to be meaningfully related to measures of self-concept, psychosocial problems, and parent-adolescent relations in both countries. These findings suggest that the U-MICS is a reliable tool for assessing identity processes in Italian and Dutch adolescents.

Abstract:
This study examines the relationships between authentic leadership perceptions and organizational commitment levels of public personnel working in the agriculture and forestry sector. Within the scope of this research, surveys consisting of ready-made scales were used. The authentic leadership scale is a scale consisting of four dimensions and 16 items. The answers given to the surveys were interpreted using the SPSS package program. When the results of the research are evaluated in general; It appears that the perception of authentic leadership has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Looking at the demographic results; According to gender, it has been determined that men have more authentic leadership perceptions than women. According to education level; It appears that authentic leadership perception and organizational commitment do not differ. When examining whether employees’ authentic leadership perceptions and organizational commitments vary according to their age; It is seen that the perception of authentic leadership and organizational commitment differ according to age. While employees between the ages of 36 and 40 have higher perceptions of authentic leadership; Organizational commitment of those between the ages of 41 and 45 was higher.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to find out whether there was a significant relationship between marketing culture and organizational commitment. In addition, relations between dimensions or marketing culture and dimensions of organizational commitment were investigated. Prior studies have shown that there were significant relationships between organizational culture and organizational commitment. Accordingly it is that there is a significant relationship between marketing culture and organizational commitment. Design/methodology/approach – This research collected data via survey method in Istanbul, Turkey. The survey forms were implemented to employees who were selected by convenience sampling method from one private bank’s agencies and 318 employees participated to the survey implementation. Findings – With the help of canonical correlation analyze, it was found out that there was a significant relationship between marketing culture and organizational commitment. Accordingly the main hypothesis was supported. Also relations between dimensions of marketing culture and dimensions of organizational commitment were concluded through their canonical loadings. Research limitations/implications – This study used two main scales from the literature to determine marketing culture and organizational commitment. For marketing culture, Webster’s (1990) marketing culture scale was preferred to determine marketing culture of employees. Organizational commitment was evaluated in three basic dimensions as affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment according to Meyer and Allen’s (1997) scale. For future studies, different types of scales can be used differently in another service sector or business. The results can give some useful information essentially for managers from banking sector. Originality/value – This study has an important originality as being the first one that investigates the relationship between marketing culture and organizational culture in a related literature. So it is thought to show significant relations between marketing culture’s factors and organizational commitment’s factors.

Abstract:
The article aims to provide an insight into the relationship among political behavior, trust in manager and organizational commitment in sports organizations. The research is designed with a descriptive and relational survey model which is one of the qualitative research methods. The research group consists of 109 employees (48 females, 61 males) working in Erzincan Youth Services and Provincial Directorate of Sports, selected with convenience sampling method, one of the non-random sampling methods. As data collection tools, Personal Information Form, Organizational Commitment Scale, Trust in Manager Scale and Political Behavior Scale were used. SPSS 22 package program was used to analyze the data. Arithmetic mean, frequency and standard deviation were used in the statistical representations of the data. For the normality of the data, skewness and kurtosis values were taken into consideration and the data were found to have a normal distribution. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of the study show that there is a negative relationship between the sub-dimensions of the political behavior scale and the sub-dimensions of the trust in manager scale. Similarly, as the values of the sub-dimensions of the political behavior scale increase, the organizational commitments of the participants decrease. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, the sub-dimension of cognition-based trust, one of the sub-dimensions of trust in manager scale, is an important predictor of affective commitment, which is one of the sub-dimensions of organizational commitment scale. One of the statistically significant results of multiple regression analysis is that acting two-faced sub-dimension of the political behavior scale is a significant predictor of continuance commitment, which is one of the sub-dimensions of organizational commitment scale.

Abstract:
Survey instruments have been developed to measure whether someone claims to be religious but do not address the degree to which someone is satisfied with their religious commitment. The Religious Surrender and Attendance Satisfaction Scale (RSASS) was revised to measure both a person's level of religious commitment and satisfaction with level of religious commitment. This study was conducted to determine initial validity for the satisfaction portion of the RSASS. Construct validity measures provided initial confirmation of the utility of RSASS as a measure of satisfaction with religious commitment, that can be used by nurses in practice and research.

Abstract:
This research develops a definition of brand fanaticism, and a valid brand fanaticism scale. Fanatical consumers may not represent the majority of consumers but have a disproportionate impact on the revenue and image of their focal brand. Five studies were conducted to validate the brand fanaticism scale with online survey data. Brand fanaticism captures self-brand connection, brand prominence, obsessive passion, and cognitive rigidity that loyal consumers experience with focal brands. Brand commitment, brand love are antecedents of brand fanaticism which in turn, predicts word-of-mouth, behavioural intention, and willingness to sacrifice. The results provide theoretical and empirical research contributions in marketing.

Abstract:
13 | P a g e SUMMARY In South Africa’s rapidly changing social and cultural context, where family dynamics and relationships are changing just as quickly, it is essential to discover which factors contribute to successful relationships that persist over time. Previous research has utilised the Investment Model Scale (Rusbult, 1980) in order to understand commitment processes and the constructs satisfaction, quality of alternatives and investment have been identified as key determinants of commitment in romantic contexts. In the present study however I investigated the primary research question, “How can commitment be measured in the context of family relationships?” Data collection took place through the Family Commitment Scale (which was adapted from the Investment Model Scale) and a new meaningfulness scale was added in an attempt to explore whether meaningfulness would be a better predictor of family commitment than satisfaction, quality of alternatives and investment. The statistical analyses were conducted with the purpose of examining the research question and hypotheses. The findings of the present study contribute to commitment literature by underlining the utility of the Invest Model Scale in nonromantic contexts and providing an instrument which can reliably measure family commitment. Meaningfulness is also highlighted as a motivational feature behind family commitment processes.<br>Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2013.<br>gm2014<br>Educational Psychology<br>unrestricted

Full text
Abstract:
The large-scale integration of wind generation into the power system brings great challenges to transmission expansion planning (TEP) and unit commitment (UC). The intermittence nature of wind generation needs to be fully considered in these two problems, which stimulates the research of this thesis. The selection of candidate lines is the prerequisite for the TEP problem. Considering the limitations of manual selection approach, a method to select candidate lines automatically is proposed, which consists of five stages to reinforce existing corridors and new corridors. Results of the two test systems illustrate that the locational marginal price difference is neither sufficient nor necessary condition for candidate lines. The uncertainty of load demand and wind power is studied both in the TEP and UC problems. In the term of TEP, a two-stage stochastic formulation of TEP is proposed. The stochastic dual dynamic programming (SDDP) approach is applied to consider the uncertainty, and the whole model is solved by Benders decomposition (BD) technique. In the term of UC, the chance-constrained two-stage programming formulation is proposed for the day-ahead UC problem. The chance-constrained stochastic programming formulation is converted into an equivalent deterministic formulation by a sequence of approximation and verification.

In particular, it seeks to analyse the relationship between the form of the psychological contract (relational/transactional) and type of organisational commitment (affective, continuance, normative).Data were collected from 210 randomly selected participants using the Psychological Contract Scale (PCS), and the Measure of Affective, Continuance and Normative Commitment Scale (MACNCS). The Career Commitment Scale (CCS) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered and information gathered regarding overall job satisfaction, age, gender, contract type, position held, industry sector and length of employment.The major findings from this study is that there are positive relationships between relational psychological contracts and affective commitment (â = .653, p < .05), continuance commitment (â = .222, p < .05) and normative commitment (â = .476, p <.001), and a negative relationship between transactional psychological contracts and affective commitment (â =148, p < .05), after controlling for various background and employment characteristics. This research increases the understanding of how employees commit to an organisation during times of unstable and changing employment conditions.

Abstract:
Lo Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) è un problema di programmazione matematica dove un insieme di impianti termoelettrici deve essere programmato per soddisfare la domanda di energia e altri vincoli di sistema. Il modello è impiegato da decenni per supportare la pianificazione operazionale di breve termine dei sistemi elettrici. In questo lavoro affrontiamo il problema di risolvere UCP lineari di larga-scala per realizzare simulazioni accurate di sistemi elettrici, con i requisiti aggiuntivi di impiegare capacità di calcolo convenzionali, ad esempio i personal computers, ed un tempo di soluzione di poche ore. Il problema, sotto le medesime condizioni, è affrontato abitualmente dal nostro partner industriale RSE S.p.A. (Ricerche Sistema Energetico), uno dei principali centri ricerche industriali su sistemi energetici in Italia. L’ottimizzazione diretta di queste formulazioni con solutori generici è impraticabile. Nonostante sia possibile calcolare buone soluzioni euristiche, ovvero con un gap di ottimalità sotto il 10%, in tempi ragionevoli per UCP di larga scala, si richiedono soluzioni più accurate, per esempio con gap sotto l’1%, per migliorare l’affidabilità delle simulazioni ed aiutare gli esperti di dominio, che potrebbero non essere familiari con i dettagli dei metodi di programmazione matematica, a supportare meglio le loro analisi. Tra le idee che abbiamo esplorato i seguenti metodi risultano i più promettenti: una mateuristica per calcolare efficientemente buone soluzioni e due metodi esatti di bounding: column generation e Benders decomposition. Questi metodi decompongono il problema disaccoppiando il commitment degli impianti termoelettrici, rappresentati da variabili discrete, e il loro livello di produzione, rappresentato da variabili continue. I nostri esperimenti dimostrano che il modello possiede proprietà intrinseche come degenerazione e forma della funzione obbiettivo piatta che ostacolano o impediscono la convergenza in risolutori allo stato dell’arte. Tuttavia, i metodi che abbiamo sviluppato, sfruttando efficacemente le proprietà strutturali del modello, permettono di raggiungere soluzioni quasi ottime in poche iterazioni per la maggior parte delle istanze.<br>The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) is a mathematical programming problem where a set of power plants needs to be scheduled to satisfy energy demand and other system-wide constraints. It has been employed for decades to support short-term operational planning of power plants. In this work we tackle the problem of solving large-scale linear UCPs to perform accurate medium-term power systems simulations, with the additional requirements of employing conventional computing power, such as personal computers, and a solution time of a few hours. The problem, under such conditions, is routinely faced by our industry partner, the Energy Systems Development department at RSE S.p.A. (Ricerche Sistema Energetico), a major industrial research centre on power systems in Italy. The direct optimization of these formulations via general-purpose solvers is impractical. While good heuristic solutions, that is with an optimality gap below 10%, can be found for large-scale UCPs in affordable time, more accurate solutions, for example with a gap below 1%, are sought to improve the reliability of the simulations and help domain experts, who may not be familiar with the details of mathematical programming methods, to better support their analysis. Among the ideas we explored, the following methods are the most promising: a matheuristic to efficiently compute good solutions and two exact bounding methods: column generation and Benders decomposition. These methods decompose the problem by decoupling the commitment of thermal plants, represented by discrete variables, and their level of production, represented by continuous variables. Our experiments proved that the model posses inherent properties as degeneracy and objective flatness which hinder or prevent convergence in state-of-the-art solvers. On the other hand, the methods we devised, by effectively exploiting structural properties of the model, allow to reach quasi-optimal solutions within a few iterations on most instances.

Abstract:
Abstract In accordance with several scholars in the field of human resource management, developing employee commitment towards the employing organization is valuable due to the assumption that it increases their satisfaction, productivity and adaptability. By taking a pedagogical perspective focusing on impact processes, the aim of this master thesis is primarily to identify the constructions and functions of interpretive repertoires, of a few employees, in their descriptions of how the experience of Nynas’ Corporate Group Induction has influenced their commitment to Nynas, but also to categorize the constructions and functions of interpretive repertoires in a booklet underlined during the Corporate Group Induction, which I refer to as “This is Nynas”. In addition, the aim is to identify if other employees at Nynas share similar experiences, regarding the influence of the Corporate Group Induction. Moreover, the primary methodological approach used and theoretical perspective taken in this study is discursive psychology, based upon the premises of social constructionism. The empirical material is mainly consisting of interviews with six employees at Nynas, as well as of an analysis of the booklet “This is Nynas”. Additionally, the empirical material consists of a web-survey, based upon a five-point Likert scale, containing a sample of 25 employees. The study has identified two main interpretive repertoires in the booklet “This is Nynas”, explicitly the identity and the internalize repertoires, as well as subversions of these repertoires. In relation to this, the study has found that the interviewees in their language use to a large extent emphasize the interpretive repertoires constructed in “This is Nynas”. Furthermore, this master thesis have identified that the interviewees constructed certain interpretive repertoires when describing the experience of the Corporate Group Induction, and its influence on their commitment to Nynas, namely: the enhancement, the involvement, the development, the reciprocity and the constancy repertoires. Moreover, the study illustrates that the interviewees generally highlighted the Corporate Group Induction as having a strengthening influence on their commitment to Nynas, especially in relation to feelings of being a part of the company, due to the fact that they experienced themselves as active participants during the program. Furthermore, the result shows that the interviewees perceived the Corporate Group Induction as a sign of reciprocal dedication between themselves and Nynas, particularly on the subject of their integration into the company. Finally, the study has found that the experience of those who participated in the survey corresponded to a high extent with the interviewee’s experience of the Corporate Group Induction, and its influence on their commitment.      Keywords: induction program, Corporate Group Induction, social constructionism, discourse analysis, discursive psychology, discursively constructed, reflexivity, commitment, affective, continuance, normative, Likert scale, late modernity, strategic sampling.

Abstract:
This chapter demonstrates how the organization of narrative information can shape a reader’s impression of what is represented. It focuses on two ways in which concrete objects are arranged in Charles Dickens’s Bleak House: as specific members of general categories and as part of causally connected narrative structures. Dickens relies on these representational strategies to capture a scale of reality no longer suited to the individual human body. In doing so, he also reveals that the realist novel’s conventional commitment to individual experience at the scale of concrete particulars reflects constraints on the comprehension process.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) activity of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) from two perspectives: CEE-based SWFs operating internationally and CEE as hosts to international SWF investments. The scales of both activities are marginal in global terms, yet the SWF footprint can be significant in isolated CEE industries or investment targets. While new SWFs are unlikely to emerge in CEE, the scale of global SWF allocation to the region is set to expand in line with diversification and growth opportunities. CEE should strive to improve its investment climate, including competitiveness of financial industries. The existing CEE-based (Russian) SWFs would benefit from deregulation, transparency and commitment to performance metrics, yet they remain a hostage to the future shape of Russian, and world macroeconomic policy.

Abstract:
The ten essays collected here represent a series of efforts to rethink many of the fundamentals of Kant’s ethics and to draw out some implications for moral theory and practice. The five essays of Part One revisit and revise several core pieces of Kant’s moral framework, offering a new understanding of the formulas of the categorical imperative, revisiting the idea of making exceptions, and deepening the contrast between Kant’s project and other deontologies (especially recent contractualisms). The key is to take seriously the idea that what Kant gives us is a theory of moral reasoning, with standards of validity and soundness that position moral judgment to explicate the connection between our rational natures and our duties. Part Two takes on some less familiar topics: the ideas behind Kant’s moralized view of history; the implications of a Kantian view of morality for social pluralism; the fit of Kant’s conception of moral psychology with theories of normal human development; the implausible argument about our duties to animals; and last, how to understand the place of the idea of the highest good in a morally good life. The overall aim of these essays is to show that we are far from having a settled account of core Kantian commitments and to initiate a program of inquiry to peel away assumptions brought to the texts that introduce questions their arguments were not meant to answer. The more straightforward readings of central arguments remove obstacles to appreciating Kantian theory’s ambition and scale.

Abstract:
Large-scale change is not possible without aligning individual and collective values, wisdom, and commitment to the architecture needed to support ethical practice. The process required for designing a system that supports ethical practice on a moment-to-moment basis involves synergistic operational strategies. These include personal transformational learning, information for decision-making, supporting principled change-makers and risk-takers, and creating an enabling work environment. Transformational design and action involve using practices, techniques, and methods that source inner capacity at every step of planning and implementation and embodying foundational values. Transformational design leverages key elements of co-creating new patterns, developing new norms and systems for sustainable change, transcending disempowering patterns, and creating a new narrative.

Abstract:
This chapter maintains that Pushkin’s artistic project illuminates a paradoxical convergence of nationalism and internationalism at the core of both European and Russian Romanticism: the period’s concurrent commitment, on the national as well as individual scale, to creative solipsismandto circuits of intellectual exchange opened up by the Enlightenment across Europe; its introspection and extroversion; its vitalizing yet ambivalent comparatism. Pushkin’s formal and stylistic versatility appears to revel in, but also critically interrogate, the creative possibilities inherent in a country fashioning its modern national culture by means of appropriation. This investment in comparative cultural (de)construction, at once playful and serious, persists as a unifying thread throughout Pushkin’s otherwise insistently versatile oeuvre and could be productively singled out as the defining feature of his Romanticism.

This chapter explores linking economic redevelopment with a recognition of regional legacy. It provided an opportunity to apply public history to real-world needs and to do something with history on a larger scale and led to the work discussed here. “AMD&amp;ART” is now both the name of a park in Vintondale, Pennsylvania, and the name of an idea, a commitment to interdisciplinary work in the service of community aspirations to address environmental challenges. As an idea, AMD&amp;ART is a lasting antidote to the complex problems of coal country that is, and in fact must be, cultural and environmental; only a place-based multidisciplinary solution that starts with good history has the power to transform environmental liabilities into community assets that engage a broad spectrum of support.

AbstractDistance learning accelerated and diversified during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the result that individual teachers working with their normal classroom groups now account for most of the courses offered online. However, this provision of “closed distance learning” will not suffice for the needs of the hundreds of millions of people who will seek secondary schooling, degree studies, and continuing education in the next 20 years. We describe how open distance learning can be conducted at scale through open universities, open schools, and MOOCs, which are all designed to cope with mass demand. Our focus is on how these organizations are run. This embraces institutional design and organization, governance, management and administration, and leadership. The three types of providers have various corporate and governance structures: public open universities, open schools under the aegis of government, and commercial MOOCs companies. However, the challenges of management and administration, which are to sustain operations at scale around the clock worldwide, are rather similar. Their leadership requires a genuine commitment to serving the disadvantaged, an ability to secure the trust of governments, understanding of the opportunities that emerging technology offers for distance education, and thorough familiarity with the institutional dynamics of open and distance teaching and learning systems.

Abstract:
AbstractCoastal fisheries are the food basket of Pacific Islanders, and fishing is deeply rooted in Pacific Islands’ cultures and traditions. In Tonga, during the past century, marine resource management has been the sole responsibility of the government under the law. Although management measures aim to ensure the sustainability of small-scale fisheries, compliance is often a challenge. In 2002 and 2009, Tonga passed new fishery legislation that reformed access to marine resources for local fishers (particularly in lagoons and reef areas) with the introduction of its own community-based fishery management approach, known as the Special Management Area (SMA) program. The SMA program and supporting legislation allow coastal communities and local fishers, with assistance from the Ministry of Fisheries, to regulate adjacent marine areas through local fishery management plans that grant preferential access and assign stewardship duties to community members. Tonga has made a commitment to following the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines), with the SMA program representing an important step forward. This chapter explores the main venues and opportunities for Tonga to implement the SSF Guidelines while completing the SMA scaling-up process, in line with recent policy commitments made at a Pacific regional level, (In 2021, the members of the Pacific Community (SPC) adopted the Pacific Framework for Action on Scaling up Community-based Fisheries Management: 2021–2025.) to ultimately provide sustainable access for small-scale fishers to marine resources and markets (SDG 14b).

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the crucial role of nature-based development and urban afforestation, including parks and connected green corridors, in boosting city climate resilience and fostering green mobility. It highlights the strategic value of green spaces in protecting urban areas from climate change effects like rising temperatures and severe weather. As cities in regions with rising temperatures face climate change impacts, green areas are increasingly seen not just as recreational spaces but as vital elements of urban climate strategies. Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s hottest countries, and the broader Arabian Peninsula have warmed 50% faster than other northern hemisphere land masses (Climate Futures Report, 2023, KAUST, AEON Collective, KAPSARC). Saudi Arabia is making large-scale investments in urban green infrastructure, developing Riyadh as a leading city with sustainable arid climate. Riyadh’s strategies appear to be creating a Greenwave, a comprehensive, climate-positive movement through extensive citywide greening, with green corridors to support sustainable transportation. The fundamental aspects of this emerging Greenwave—urban greening and decarbonized mobility—are poised for transformative, large-scale change. A comparative spatial analysis of Riyadh suggests that new parks will extend green space across the city into nearly all residential and commercial areas, linking them via tree-lined boulevards to the newly established Riyadh Metro. This nature-based planning exemplifies Riyadh’s commitment to sustainability and may represent one of the most comprehensive urban adaptations to a warming world.

Abstract:
AbstractHigher education institutions are increasingly implementing peer tutoring and peer mentoring strategies to support newly enrolled students’ transition into university, aiming to reduce drop-out and improve persistence. However, it is rare that these are directly compared, and even rarer for effects on social and academic integration and institutional attachment to be explored, as in this study. In this quantitative and qualitative study, a total of 446 first-year university students of Psychology and Education Sciences in one university, recruited via a snowball technique which relied heavily on email and text messages, followed-up with invitations to a Facebook group, completed an online questionnaire. The questionnaire incorporated three instruments of known reliability: the Social Adjustment, Academic Adjustment and Institutional Attachment subscales of the Adaptation to College Questionnaire; the Commitment subscale of the Revised Academic Hardiness Scale; and the Commitment Attitude Scale. Results were analysed by independent t-tests. For the qualitative semi-structured interviews participants were 39 self-selected but stratified volunteers. Interviews focused on the three stages of Appreciative Inquiry: Discovery, Dream and Design. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. A combined inductive-deductive content-analysis technique and a thematic analysis technique was then used via MAXQDA 11. Peer mentoring was the most effective means to enhance social integration. However, peer tutoring showed a significant effect on academic integration. Neither had much impact on institutional attachment. Participants particularly mentioned that activities such as speed dating and mentoring days were important, since they developed self-esteem, which encouraged them to further participate. The availability of peer support over the longer term was seen as important. Evidence-based action implications for educational practice, policy-making and future researchers were outlined, and the importance of listening to students when developing institutional policy is emphasized.

Abstract:
Abstract Over the last 30 years high performance advanced FRP composites, originally introduced in aerospace, have become widespread in the marine and alternative energy industries, and are now becoming increasingly used in civil and architectural projects. The use of composite materials in new fields still represents a challenge due to the higher percentage of defects in final manufactured composite parts. This requires a closer look of the mechanical properties of the composite materials considered to ensure safety requirements and overall structural integrity is achieved. A variety of advanced FRP materials and processes have been used at PCT to realize large-scale structures including the clock and crescent of the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, the Mataf Ceiling project in Makkah, and recently the hybrid composite wings for the UAE Pavilion for the EXPO 2020 in Dubai and the CFRP roof for the ENOC Petrol Service Station of the Future. As a result, PCT(1) is making substantial investments in enhancing its mechanical testing program, as well as prioritizing its commitment to sustainability and material recycling.

Abstract:
Abstract Oil and gas have been produced off the east coast of Trinidad for over 30 years. Production from the authors’ affiliated operations currently originates from eight main fields and is transported between satellite/complex platforms and to onshore terminals through about 50 individual pipelines. Despite excellent service history, the operator recently committed itself to implementing a major work program to clearly demonstrate functional integrity of the main oil and gas lines. This program is a formidable challenge because pigging of pipelines was rarely performed over the years, and in most cases, basic facilities (e.g., pig traps) are lacking. Following risk-ranking, several pipelines were targeted for initial rehabilitation. However, work was first directed to short infield oil lines to develop the basic facilities design, installation and pigging skills. These trials not only successfully removed huge amounts of sand and scale, but also revealed many pitfalls to be avoided with the main pipelines. Of importance, the effectiveness of various cleaning tools was evaluated, methods to free stuck pigs established and solids handling routines developed. Following a now understood methodology, main oil line pig traps were installed, pipelines were progressively pigged clean and intelligent pig inspected. Unfortunately, little went as planned. Overall outcomes are discussed, as are the numerous problems, solutions, surprises and successes encountered along the way. The experiences demonstrate that through commitment and hard work, valuable older pipelines can be functionally reinstated for years of future service.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract On a global scale, the packaging industry is an enormous economic generator. The global market value for the packaging industry will reach $1 trillion by 2020; an increase from $839 billion in 2015. This immense growth rate is driven by consumer and industry trends. Reduce, reuse and recycle is part of the green commitment and ecological fight to being responsible in the world. The packaging industry recognizes its responsibility in attaining a closed loop cycle for these materials through the use of green corrosion inhibitors. Application of green corrosion inhibitor in packaging materials (wrapping paper, films, and corrugated boxes) is one of the best options. In this study several green inhibitors impregnated papers and film were investigated. Qualification tests of these products were conducted using MIL-STD-3010C including the vapor-inhibiting ability (VIA) (similar to the NACE TM 208-2018) before and after exhaustion test of VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) impregnated materials. VIA tests showed very satisfactory results for all the impregnated wrapping paper and film prior to the exhaustion test procedure (grade 3-4 according to NACE TM 208 grading criteria). The VIA grading decreases to 2 or 1 after the exhaustion tests. When the steel samples were wrapped with the VCI impregnated wrap paper and then subjected to exhaustion test conditions, post VIA tests showed good results (grades of 3). It is more realistic approach to conduct the exhaustion tests on the wrapped steel samples with VCI packaging materials and subject those samples to the VIA tests. These tests demonstrate that the VCI adsorbed compound can maintain its attachment to the surface during the exhaustion tests and protect steel samples against corrosion later.

Abstract:
Sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH) remain pressing issues on university campuses, making it imperative for higher education institutions to develop prevention strategies. Within this context, education plays a pivotal role in addressing the underlying factors contributing to SASH, while also providing crucial information about care and support pathways for survivors. This paper, authored by practitioners from the Australian National University’s (ANU) Respectful Relationships Unit (RRU), reflects on the conceptualisation, implementation, and evaluation of a large-scale respect and consent education program. Tailored to ANU's context, the program utilised a multi-modal approach including an online module, face-to-face workshops, and residential hall pilots. Challenges, such as engagement and sustainability, were addressed through collaborative partnerships and continuous improvement efforts. Evaluation, conducted in collaboration with social scientists from the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods (CSRM), provided insights for refinement and future directions. ANU's ongoing commitment to community engagement, innovation, equity, and evaluation underscores its dedication to fostering safer and more inclusive campus environments. Through collaboration and a shared commitment to prevention, ANU aims to make meaningful progress towards a campus free of sexual harm.

Abstract:
Malawi is one of the most committed countries in Africa to improving nutrition, yet it still has one of the highest rates of malnutrition in the region and is struggling to turn commitments into action at scale. The advocacy component of the Afikepo project strengthened capacity of national and district government and Civil Society Organisation (CSO) representatives to plan, budget and advocate for scaling up nutrition commitments at national and in 10 districts. These actions improved awareness, coordination and commitment to prioritise nutrition across sectors, within government, and CSOs and a wide range of actors at national and district level, which in turn improved governance and accountability. However, these actions did not have a substantial effect on domestic funding allocations, which are still heavily reliant on external donors. This brief summarises lessons learned and recommendations from the various advocacy and capacity building efforts over the past four years.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2018, the Government of Ethiopia committed to large-scale, donor-supported reforms aimed at improving equitable learning in the basic education system—the General Education Quality Improvement Program for Equity (GEQIP-E). In this paper, we examine the reform design process in the context of Ethiopia’s political environment as a strong developmental state, assessing the influence of different stakeholder priorities which have led to the focus on equity within the quality reforms. Drawing on qualitative data from 81 key informant interviews with federal and regional government officials and donors, we explore the negotiation and power dynamics which have shaped the design of the reforms. We find that a legacy of moderately successful reforms, and a shared commitment to global goals, paved the way for negotiations of more complex and ambitious reforms between government actors and donors. Within government, we identify that regional governments were only tokenistically included in the reform process. Given that regions are responsible for the implementation of these reforms, their limited involvement in the design could have implications for success.

Full text
Abstract:
The collective giving movement has seen remarkable growth across the U.S. in recent years, both in participation and impact. Between 2017 and 2023, nearly 4,000 collective giving groups engaged over 370,000 members, mobilizing $3.1 billion to support various causes (Loson-Ceballos &amp; Layton, 2024, p. 1). These figures underscore the scale and scope of this dynamic movement. While all collective giving groups share a commitment to democratic processes for mobilizing and allocating resources for social impact, their structures, composition, and practices vary widely. By understanding and appreciating these differences, we can better grasp how collective giving is transforming philanthropy and driving social change. The purpose of this report is twofold. First, it presents a typology that serves as a framework to categorize collective giving groups. Second, it applies that framework to develop seven archetypes of collective giving groups.

Bennett, Oliver. Freshwater habitat restoration. Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.58248/pn709.

Full text
Abstract:
Freshwater habitats, such as rivers and wetlands, provide major benefits to society through services such as flood risk reduction and drinking water. However, many of these habitats are in a poor condition. They have been damaged by a range of human activities including physical modification and pollution. For example, an estimated 90% of wetlands have been lost over the last century. Restoration of freshwater habitats can be achieved by addressing the causes of degradation and by enhancing or extending habitats. There is good evidence on the benefits of some forms of restoration. For example, restoration can deliver effective flood defence and restore fish populations. However, certain restoration measures are less well-studied. There are numerous national and international targets for the restoration of freshwater habitats. These include a commitment to improving at least 75% of waters to close to their natural state as soon as practicable by 2042. However, some stakeholders believe that these commitments will not be met under current plans in England. There have been calls for various actions including: increased and long-term funding to deliver larger-scale projects changes to policy and legislation to deliver more joined-up decision making and to include small water bodies and headwaters further prevention of degradation, including better enforcement of existing legislation the removal of barriers to nature-based solutions Policy in this area is devolved. For England, the UK Government published a Plan for Water in 2023 that contained new actions to help improve the condition of freshwater habitats. The Office for Environmental Protection will publish an assessment of the Government’s approach in 2024.

Full text
Abstract:
The fulfilment of the commitment to decarbonization at a global level implies the need to invest in clean technologies on a global scale that requires large volumes of financing in a complex context where there are significant technological uncertainties, and the distribution of resources is not homogeneous around the world. Against this backdrop, incentives for investment in clean technologies are an instrument that, when properly designed, can boost private investment to achieve environmental goals. This report addresses the funding needs for investment in clean technologies, the current financing gap to move towards environmental sustainability, and conceptualizing the term investment incentive. It proposes classifying the different incentives into six broad categories: economic, financial, fiscal, market, regulatory, and of knowledge and collaboration, and then describes how they are being implemented in the United States, the European Union, China, Canada, India and the United Kingdom. Finally, conclusions and reflections are presented on the elements and dimensions to consider when designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating the impacts of incentives for investment in clean technologies.

In the present (2022), it works with a network of organizations on water security solutions across the country. Through exploring Arghyam’s shifts in its strategic approach, the case study engages with the challenges of dealing with the complexity of the water sector in India and what it takes for philanthropy to sustain commitment to a singular cause. Arghyam’s most recent pivot commenced in 2018, when it decided to focus on supporting strategic levers of scale that could significantly benefit from digital technology use. This pivot was based on its past experience but nonetheless required realignment within the organization with new modes of engagement, enhanced operational capabilities and talent requirements. While Arghyam recognises the need for strengthening scalable solutions, organizationally it continues to remain compact and lean. This case study shows that the most complex of problems do not necessarily demand the biggest of organizational resources: it requires thoughtful and timely deployment of limited resources. This demands a level of intentionality and strategic agility that can test the mettle of any organization, least of all a philanthropic one.
