Abstract:
In this paper we suggest that the use of conceptual models, as developed in cybernetics and used in cognitive psychology, may help to bridge the gap between educational research and teachers. The notion of model is discussed in the context of explanatory theories, teachers' understanding of students, and students' understanding of mathematics. Piaget's concept of accommodation is explicated in terms of his scheme theory. A plea is made for greater flexibility, both in research methodology and teaching, and for an increased awareness that understanding and motivation to understand require the students' deliberate autonomous operating.

Abstract:
The port system is characterized as one of the main links in a country's logistics chain, contributing to the socio-economic development of the regions in which they operate. Port performance is the result of a diversity of activities by the various organizational and institutional actors present in this environment, which is materialized through port governance. Distributed in more than 900 international ports, port governance models have different mechanisms, depending on the environment in which the logistics-port chain is inserted. Brazil, in the process of professionalizing the port sector, has sought to identify models of port governance for implementation in the Brazilian port system. In this context, this article aims to identify the port governance mechanisms proposed by the most contemporary conceptual models in the scientific literature, to support their better understanding and to identify the knowledge gaps to support future research in the area. To this end, theoretical research was carried out, through a systematic literature review, using the electronic, international, and interdisciplinary Scopus database. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and with the support of a search directed to the theme for the inclusion of new specialist publications, 12 conceptual models of Port Governance were considered. Even though the construct is a broad concept, it was possible to identify the conceptualization of the term, mechanisms, and components for its configuration. The models mainly include aspects of state participation; devolution; governance environment, strategy, structure, and dimensions; port reforms and performance and guidance for efficiency and effectiveness. However, the research results highlight that aspects of vertical and horizontal relationships deserve to be better explored; relationship networks; cooperation; co-production, and a systemic view.

Abstract:
The following degree project is written within the department of Information Technology at Uppsala University. The subject studied is the difference between academic user research and such user research performed by professionals at commercially driven companies. Academic’s and professional’s agendas, interests and approaches seem to differ and consequently a gap emerges. To perform a comparison between academically defined and practically defined user research a case study and a literature study were conducted. During the literature study three main academic approaches to perform user research were studied and summarized in a unified view. The case study was performed over 4 months at Spotify in the User Research team to gain insights into how user research is conducted in a commercially driven company. The degree project shows that academics and professionals can benefit from each other. For example, academics can integrate various mix methods to better understand design and concepts and base assumptions on more reliable data. Professionals can benefit from academics by adapting a similar systematic approach to perform user research and have a larger impact on the development.

Abstract:
Esta tese tem por objetivo mostrar a possibilidade de observação da existência da aprendizagem significativa a partir do uso de modelos matemáticos quando os alunos do curso de administração equacionam situações-problema empresariais com o auxílio do software LINDO. A pesquisa foi realizada com discentes do Centro Universitário UNIVATES, situado em Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, quando estes frequentaram a disciplina Pesquisa Operacional. Os fundamentos teóricos estão embasados na teoria da aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel (1968, 2003), na pesquisa operacional e suas ferramentas de resolução, principalmente o software LINDO, bem como na modelagem matemática. Metodologicamente, foram aplicados instrumentos de avaliação de subsunçores relacionados à capacidade de modelagem de problemas de programação linear. Face à ausência de alguns subsunçores, foram utilizados organizadores avançados que serviram como mecanismos pedagógicos para estabelecer relações entre aquilo que os alunos já sabiam e o que deveriam saber. Posteriormente, cada aluno desenvolveu, no mínimo, dois modelos matemáticos e dois mapas conceituais, sendo os primeiros no início da pesquisa e outros ao final. Como resultado, percebeu-se que o ambiente de modelagem matemática sugerido por Barbosa (2006) favoreceu a observação de aprendizagem significativa (AUSUBEL, 2003) da programação linear quando os alunos abstraíram e resolveram situações-problema empresariais com o auxílio do software LINDO. Os modelos matemáticos finais evoluíram, na maioria dos casos, apresentando mais variáveis e restrições. Por meio dos modelos matemáticos e mapas conceituais, foi possível observar algumas evidências em relação às exigências profissionais do administrador como a capacidade de reconhecer e de definir problemas e equacionar soluções e a capacidade de pensar estrategicamente e introduzir modificações no processo produtivo. Cabe ressaltar que os modelos matemáticos ilustram o conhecimento que o aluno possui. Por isso, são diferentes, têm níveis diferentes e refletem a idiossincrasia do processo ensino-aprendizagem, como postulam Moreira (2005) e Biembengut (2003).<br>This thesis aims at demonstrating the possibility of observing the existence of the significant apprenticeship, proceeding from the use of mathematic models when business administration students solve corporative problem situations with the help of the LINDO software. The research was carried out with students at UNIVATES University Center, in the city of Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, while attending the subject of Operational Research. The theoretical basis lies on Ausubel's (1968, 2003) significant apprenticeship theory, on the operational research and its solving tools, mainly the LINDO software, as well as on mathematic modeling. Methodologically, subsumer evaluation instruments related to the modeling capacity of linear programming problems were applied. Due to the lack of some subsumers, advanced organizers were used that served as pedagogical mechanisms in order to establish relationships between what the students already knew and what the should know. Later, each student developed, at least, two mathematic models and two conceptual maps, the first being at the research commencement, and the others at its end. As a result, it was noted that the mathematic modeling environment suggested by Barbosa (2006) favored the observation of a significant apprenticeship (AUSUBEL, 2003) of linear programming when the students abstracted and solved corporative problem situations with the help of the LINDO software. The final mathematic models evolved presenting, in most cases, more variables and restrictions. Through of mathematic models and conceptual maps, it was possible to observe some evidences relative to business administrator's professional requirement, such as the capacity of identifying and solving problems and finding solutions, and the capacity of thinking strategically and introducing modifications into the productive process. It is necessary to be emphasized that the mathematic models illustrate the student's knowledge. Therefore, they are different, have different levels and reflect the idiosyncrasy of the teaching-learning process, as postulated by Moreira (2005) and Biembengut (2003).

Abstract:
The validity of three key Business Excellence (BE) models used in the Asia Pacific—the Australian Business Excellence Framework (Australia), the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (New Zealand) and the Singapore Quality Award Criteria (Singapore)—was examined from a conceptual as well as a predictive standpoint. Unlike in many past studies, in this study the validity of the measurement criteria stipulated in BE models have been directly assessed. The conceptual validity of the three BE models was studied through a generic theoretical model using the partial least squares-based structural equation modelling (PLSBSEM) method. Apart from measurement validity, the strengths of the hypothesised causal relationships between the constructs of the BE models and their practical implementations were also examined under conceptual validity. The predictive validity of the three BE models was examined through linear predictive models involving enablers—being measures in BE models that cover what organisations actually do in order to achieve business outcomes—as predictors and business outcomes as responses. Alongside predictive validity, the reasonableness of the stipulated weights of the enablers was also examined. Other empirical and pragmatic inquiries covered in this study included: (a) a study of the effect of “industry attractiveness” on financial and market performance, and (b) a study of the relationship between BE constructs and “national cultural dimensions”. Results revealed that although the three BE models fulfilled the basic requirements of measurement validity, against more stringent criteria such as those used in psychometrics, they showed low levels of validity. The possible reasons for this were examined and the ways of overcoming the shortcoming were suggested. The generic theoretical model was found to be statistically significant across all three settings: Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. As regards predictive validity, it was observed that enablers appear to be good predictors of business outcomes (thus establishing predictive validity) although there was scope for improvement of the existing weighting scheme of the enablers. This study is important because many organisations in the region use BE models with the expectation of improving their performance in key results areas and hence there is a need to demonstrate that the BE models are based on sound concepts.

Legislações decorrentes de mobilizações sociais, globalização das empresas, migrações em busca de emprego em países mais desenvolvidos, estruturas de trabalho multifuncionais e políticas de responsabilidade social corporativa são alguns dos fenômenos que justificam esse novo contexto. Este trabalho teve como proposta desenvolver uma análise comparativa entre a produção acadêmica e a prática empresarial voltada ao tema da diversidade. Para isso, foi elaborado um retrato desses dois universos, por meio de uma pesquisa sobre artigos acadêmicos a respeito de diversidade publicados em importantes periódicos acadêmicos e uma investigação sobre as abordagens adotadas por empresas privadas reconhecidas como avançadas nessa área. As análises indicam a existência de uma ambigüidade. Por um lado, tem-se uma relativa similaridade quanto ao conceito de diversidade adotado por cada uma das áreas pesquisadas. Por outro lado, a investigação indica um notório distanciamento, entre esses dois universos, quanto aos impactos resultantes da promoção de um ambiente de trabalho mais heterogêneo. Os acadêmicos concentram seus estudos na perspectiva de performance, balanceando potenciais benefícios com potenciais problemas da diversidade. As dimensões de justiça, no entanto, são delegadas a um plano secundário de importância. As empresas, por sua vez, dedicam a devida atenção a tais dimensões, ao mesmo tempo em que adotam um discurso simplista sobre performance - negligenciam os potenciais problemas decorrentes da diversidade, limitando-se a tratar de seus potenciais benefícios. Esse cenário aponta para a necessidade da construção de um modelo capaz de: a) contemplar as realidades estudadas e b) colaborar para a evolução e o amadurecimento das discussões científicas e práticas gerenciais relacionadas à diversidade. Ao final do trabalho, são apresentadas propostas preliminares de modelos conceituais que buscam agregar as referidas realidades.<br>For a variety of reasons, the issue of human diversity has achieved a high level of visibility and influence within day-to-day organizational life. Legislation resulting from social mobilization, corporate globalization, migration in search of employment in more developed countries, multifunctional work structures, and policies for corporate social responsibility are some of the phenomena that have contributed to this new reality. The present study is a comparative analysis of academic research and corporate practices which address the issue of diversity. These two universes were analyzed through a survey of academic articles published in leading management journals, and an investigation of approaches adopted by private companies recognized as advanced in this area. This analysis indicates that an ambiguity exists. On the one hand, there is a relative similarity between the concept of diversity adopted by each of the areas studied. But at the same time, the research results indicate a significant gap between these two universes in terms of the impacts of creating a more heterogeneous work environment. The academic studies focused on the issue of performance, balancing potential benefits with potential problems of diversity. Issues of justice, however, were given secondary importance. Companies, in contrast, pay considerable attention to issues of justice, while adopting a simplistic discourse in regards to performance (restricted to its potential benefits, and neglecting potential problems resulting from diversity). This situation suggests a need to develop a model capable of: (a) accounting for the realities analyzed and (b) contributing to the development and consolidation of research on diversity and to its management within corporations. This study concludes with some preliminary proposals for conceptual models aimed at accounting for the realities encountered.

Abstract:
The task of producing policies for the management of Earth’s natural resources is a problem of the gravest concern worldwide. Such policies must address both responsible use in the present and the sustainability of those finite resources in the future. Resources are showing the adverse results of generations of exploitation, and communities fail to see the outcomes of past policies that have produced, and continue to produce, these results. They have not learned from past policy failures, and consequently fail to produce natural resource management (NRM) policies that support sustainable development.¶ It will be argued that NRM policy makers fail to learn from the past because they do not have a good historical perspective and a clear understanding of the dynamics of the complex human-environment system that they manage. It will also be argued that historians have not shown an interest in collaborating with policy makers on these issues, even though they have much to offer. Therefore, a new approach is proposed, which brings the skills and understanding of the trained historian directly into the policy arena.¶ This approach is called Applied Environmental History (AEH). Its aims are to help establish an area of common conceptual ground between NRM practitioners, policy makers, historians and dynamicists; to provide a framework that can help NRM practitioners and policy makers to take account of the historical and dynamical issues that characterise human-environment relationships; and to help NRM practitioners and policy makers improve their capacity to learn from the past. Applied Environmental History captures the characteristics of public and applied history and environmental history. In order to include an understanding of feedback dynamics in human-environment systems, it draws on concepts from dynamical systems theory. Because learning from the past is a particular form of learning from experience, AEH also draws on theories of cognitive adaptation.¶ Principles for the application of AEH are developed and then tested in an exploratory study of irrigation development that is focused on the NRM issue of salinity. Since irrigation salinity has existed for centuries, and is a serious environmental problem in many parts of the world, it is a suitable NRM context in which to explore policy makers' failure to learn from the past. AEH principles guide this study, and are used, together with insights generated from the study, as the basis for the design of AEH Guidelines.

Abstract:
Tesis por compendio<br>[ES] Algunos productos se caracterizan por su falta de homogeneidad, lo que significa que productos con diferentes características pueden ser obtenidos de un mismo proceso de producción debido a factores incontrolables como la naturaleza de las materias primas o las condiciones ambientales durante la producción. Hay cuatro aspectos que caracterizan la falta de homogeneidad en el producto: los subtipos homogéneos que se obtienen de un mismo lote de producción, la cantidad de productos que componen cada subtipo, el valor de cada uno de los subtipos, y el estado de los productos. La falta de homogeneidad en el producto dificulta la gestión de los procesos de las empresas y cadenas de suministro en el momento en el que los clientes requieren homogeneidad entre las unidades de producto que adquieren. Un ejemplo de esto se produce en el sector de la cerámica, en el que los clientes requieren que todas las unidades que van a ser ensambladas juntas tengan el mismo color, espesor y calidad por razones estéticas y de seguridad. Otro ejemplo es el extraído del sector agroalimentario, en el que el mercado final requiere productos que cumplan con un tamaño mínimo, un color particular, o sabor en el caso de las frutas. Además, el sector agroalimentario tiene la complejidad añadida producida por el deterioro de los productos a lo largo del tiempo, y la necesidad de los mercados de ofrecer a los clientes productos con una mínima duración tras su venta. En esta Tesis, se define como productos heterogéneos a aquellos productos que se pueden clasificar en subtipos homogéneos con una cantidad variable, mientras que los productos perecederos son aquellos que, además de ser heterogéneos, tienen falta de homogeneidad en su estado. De acuerdo con estos conceptos, el sector cerámico comercializa productos heterogéneos mientras que el sector agroalimentario comercializa productos perecederos. Esta Tesis propone marcos conceptuales y modelos de Investigación Operativa que soporten la gestión de cadenas de suministro con productos heterogéneos y perecederos en la toma de decisiones centralizada y distribuidas relacionadas con los niveles de decisión estratégica, táctica y operativa. El objetivo es mejorar la competitividad, sostenibilidad y flexibilidad de la cadena de suministro para adaptarse a los requerimientos del mercado bajo condiciones de incertidumbre. Para esto, se han propuesto modelos de Investigación Operativa deterministas e inciertos, cuyos resultados se comparan concluyendo que los resultados obtenidos con los modelos inciertos se adaptan mejor al comportamiento real de las cadenas de suministros.Los modelos de Investigación Operativa propuestos han contribuido a tres áreas de investigación: problemas operativos en el sector cerámico, problemas estratégicos en el sector agroalimentario y problemas de planificación en el sector agroalimentario. Las principales novedades en los problemas operativos en el sector cerámico son el modelado de las características de las baldosas cerámicas, la consideración de los requerimientos de homogeneidad entre unidades de diferentes líneas de pedido, y la posibilidad de realizar entregas parciales y entregas con retraso. Esta Tesis contribuye a los problemas estratégicos en el sector agroalimentario al diseñar una cadena de suministro completa de productos agroalimentarios frescos considerando el aspecto perecedero de los productos e integrando decisiones tácticas, y determinando el impacto real que tiene considerar el aspecto perecedero de los productos durante el diseño de la cadena de suministro ...<br>[CA] Alguns productes es caracteritzen per la seua falta d'homogeneïtat, el que significa que productes amb diferents característiques poden ser obtinguts d'un mateix procés de producció degut a factors incontrolables com la naturalesa de les matèries primeres o les condicions ambientals durant la producció. Hi ha quatre aspectes que caracteritzen la falta d'homogeneïtat en el producte: els subtipus homogenis que s'obtenen d'un mateix lot de producció, la quantitat de productes que componen cada subtipus, el valor de cada un dels subtipus, i l'estat dels productes. La falta d'homogeneïtat en el producte dificulta la gestió dels processos de les empreses i cadenes de subministrament en el moment en què els clients requerixen homogeneïtat entre les unitats de producte que adquirixen. Un exemple d'açò es produïx en el sector de la ceràmica, en el que els clients requerixen que totes les unitats que seran acoblades juntes tinguen el mateix color, grossària i qualitat per raons estètiques i de seguretat. Un altre exemple és l'extret del sector agroalimentari, en el que el mercat final requerix productes que complisquen amb una grandària mínima, un color particular, o sabor en el cas de les fruites. A més, el sector agroalimentari té la complexitat afegida produïda pel deteriorament dels productes al llarg del temps, i la necessitat dels mercats d'oferir als clients productes amb una mínima duració després de la seua venda. En aquesta Tesi, es definix com a productes heterogenis a aquells productes que es poden classificar en subtipus homogenis amb una quantitat variable, mentres que els productes peribles són aquells que, a més de ser heterogenis, tenen falta d'homogeneïtat en el seu estat. D'acord amb aquests conceptes, el sector ceràmic comercialitza productes heterogenis mentres que el sector agroalimentari comercialitza productes peribles. Aquesta Tesi proposa marcs conceptuals i models d'Investigació Operativa que suporten la gestió de cadenes de subministrament amb productes heterogenis i peribles en la presa de decisions centralitzada i distribuïdes relacionades amb els nivells de decisió estratègica, tàctica i operativa. L'objectiu és millorar la competitivitat, sostenibilitat i flexibilitat de la cadena de subministrament per adaptar-se als requeriments del mercat sota condicions d'incertesa. Per a açò, s'han proposat models d'Investigació Operativa deterministes i incerts, els resultats es comparen concloent que els resultats obtinguts amb els models incerts s'adapten millor al comportament real de les cadenes de subministraments. Els models d'Investigació Operativa proposats han contribuït a tres àrees d'investigació: problemes operatius en el sector ceràmic, problemes estratègics en el sector agroalimentari i problemes de planificació en el sector agroalimentari. Les principals novetats en els problemes operatius en el sector ceràmic són el modelatge de les característiques de les rajoles ceràmiques, la consideració dels requeriments d'homogeneïtat entre unitats de diferents línies de comanda, i la possibilitat de realitzar lliuraments parcials i lliuraments amb retard. Aquesta Tesi contribueix als problemes estratègics en el sector agroalimentari al dissenyar una cadena de subministrament completa de productes agroalimentaris frescos considerant l'aspecte perible dels productes, integrant decisions tàctiques, i determinant l'impacte real que té considerar l'aspecte perible dels productes durant el disseny de la cadena de subministrament ...<br>[EN] Some products are characterised by their lack of homogeneity, what means that products with different characteristics can be obtained from the same production process due to uncontrollable factors such as the nature of raw materials or the environmental conditions during production. There are four aspects that characterize the lack of homogeneity in the product: the homogeneous subtypes to be obtained from a production lot, the quantity of products that belong to each subtype, the value related to each of the subtypes and the state of the products. The lack of homogeneity in the product hinders the management of the supply chain or company's processes at the time customers require the homogeneity among the acquired units of product. An example of this is produced in the ceramic tile sector, in which customers need all acquired ceramic tiles that are going to be jointly assembled to have the same colour, thickness and quality for aesthetic and safety reasons. Another example is the extracted from the agri-food sector, in which final markets require products that meet some characteristics such as a minimum size, a particular colour or flavour in the case of fruits. In addition, the agri-food sector has the added complexity produced by the deterioration of products over time, and the need of markets to offer to end consumers products with a minimum durability after sale. In this Thesis, heterogeneous products are defined as products for which different subtypes can be obtained in a variable quantity while perishable products are those that, apart from being heterogeneous, have a lack of homogeneity in their state. According to these concepts, ceramic sectors would commercialize heterogeneous products while the agri-food sector would do so with perishable products. This Thesis proposes conceptual frameworks and Operations Research models to support the management of supply chains with heterogeneous and perishable products in centralized and distributed decision-making processes related to strategic, tactical and operative decisional levels. The objective is to improve the supply chain competitiveness, sustainability and flexibility to adapt to market requirements under uncertain conditions. For this, both deterministic and uncertain Operations Research models have been proposed, whose results are compared concluding that results obtained with uncertain models better fit with the behaviour of real supply chains. The proposed Operations Research models have contributed to three research areas: operational problems in the ceramic sector, strategic problems in the agri-food sector and planning problems in the agri-food sector. Main novelties in the ceramic operational problems are the modelling of the characteristics of ceramic tile products, the consideration of homogeneity requirements between units from different order lines, and the possibility of making partial deliveries and delayed deliveries. This Thesis contributes to strategic problems in agri-food products by designing an entire fresh agri-food supply chain considering the perishability of products and integrating tactical decisions, and by determining the real impact that considering the products' perishability has on the supply chain design process ...<br>This Thesis has been developed in the Research Centre of Management and Production Engineering (CIGIP, for its acronym in Spanish “Centro de Investigación en Gestión e Ingeniería de Producción”) of the Universitat Politècnica de València with the support of the predoctoral grant Programme of Formation of University Professors (FPU, for its acronym in Spanish “Formación de Profesorado Universitario”) from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Ref.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.ED.) --University of Limpopo, 2011<br>A deep level approach to learning leads to quality learning outcomes. Teachers should use appropriate teaching strategies to encourage learners to use deep level approaches to learning. The Conceptual Change Model (CCM) approach is one such strategy for the teaching of science concepts. Deep level approaches are a necessity when dealing with a difficult science concept like photosynthesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate Grade 10 learners’ achievements in photosynthesis using the CCM approach in order to minimize misconceptions and develop a broader and deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process in the high school context in a semi-rural South African school. The learners’ attitudes towards the CCM approach in the teaching of Life Sciences were explored. This study aimed to answer the following main question: what are the achievements of Grade 10 learners’ in photosynthesis as core knowledge? The CCM approach included worksheets based on all five steps of the CCM process: commit to an outcome, expose beliefs, confront beliefs, accommodate the concept and extend the concept. The sample consisted of 78 Grade 10 learners. The research was carried out with a quasi-experimental/control group design and lasted for six weeks. The achievement test and questionnaires were used as instruments to collect data. The analyses of results show that experimental and control group’s pre-test academic achievement scores were similar and there was no significant difference between them (p < 0.05), but when the academic achievement of the post-test results of the EG and CG were analyzed, it was clear that there is a significant difference. The results from post-tests suggest that learners from the EG, taught using the CCM approach, show significantly greater achievements in photosynthesis than learners from the CG. In addition, learners from EG show a positive attitude towards Life Sciences after CCM teaching approach, but not from the CG taught using traditional approach. These findings have implications for a science teacher and recommendations are made to improve the teaching of photosynthesis as core knowledge.

Abstract:
Since the establishment of the wireless sector, design has been playing a wide range of roles. Specialized literature has been extensively reporting the use of this discipline associated with NPD, focusing on hardware and software development in the mobile communications. On the other hand, evidences of its use to support forecasting are scarce and generic. Finally, formal publications addressing future forecasting from a design perspective in the context of mobile communications have never been reported, leading to a knowledge gap that needs to be addressed. This research investigates the strategic roles, applications and contributions of design and designers for future forecasting in the wireless telecom sector. As a comprehensive discipline, it is used to examine and identify a number of factors that might influence/impact in the development of visionary solutions supporting the design team of traditional handset manufacturers to make better decisions in order to ‘shape’ the future in the wireless industry. Considering these ideas, the aim of this research is to create a ‘design-led future forecasting model for mobile communications’ to assist and support traditional manufacturers’ design team. This PhD study relies on a qualitative methodology comprising a number of data collection and analysis tools (e.g. literature review, case studies analysis, in-depth experts’ interviews, workshops and Grounded Theory). To create the intended framework, extensive secondary and primary data; theoretical and practical inputs were brought together, analysed and combined. The proposed model was evaluated through two rounds of experts’ interviews complemented by two workshops with potential users (e.g. design students) to check and explore its practicalities when applied to design for the future. Finally, this study bridges future forecasting and the wireless telecom through the use of design to address the literature gap. The richness of the developed model provides practical assistance to traditional manufacturer’s design team informing about a broad spectrum of aspects that should be considered when designing for the future in the mobile telecom industry, supporting strategic decision making in different stages of the future-led design process.

Abstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Constant and aggressive change is a characteristic that has shaped our present day life and occurs at all levels of society. In a new South Africa, an entrepreneurial approach has become a means of survival. Modern day South Africans have been compelled to adopt an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset in order to function optimally. For the higher education sector, this has meant the commercialisation of many aspects of their operations due to yearly cuts in subsidy allocations. Stellenbosch University is not exempt from this and is also affected by these cuts. The goal of this study is therefore to provide an internationally researched conceptual model and process for commercialising academic research at Stellenbosch University. This will require the adoption of an entrepreneurial mindset which views research differently from its traditional mode. By moving away from an academic view of research, new partnerships, opportunities and outcomes become possible, from which new revenue avenues could be opened. The question arises as to what technological innovations are likely to result in commercial success and what route should a university then take to successfully commercialise their research findings? Finding practical answers to these questions could provide a platform from which a university can make accurate and timely decisions with regards to the commercialisation of its academic research. Accurate decision-making is therefore an essential tool in the management of this process. Commercialisation is not viable without first creating an innovative mindset and platform. These cannot be created without first understanding the concept of newness. Consistent newness requires continuous innovation, from which academic entrepreneurship then stems. The successful commercialisation of this entrepreneurship can then be understood by considering the various concepts and basic components involved in commercialisation. A broad look at literature provided the basis for this platform from which a model could then be constructed. In constructing the model, the key components were first identified. Secondly, a brief look at four different commercialsiation models provided an overview of the thought pattems involved in such a process. The synthesis of these components and models culminated in a conceptual model for commercialisation within the Stellenbosch University environment. This model included the tangible and intangible side of commercialisation, incorporating organisational mindset, attitudes and culture.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Konstante en omvattende verandering is 'n kenmerk van die eietydse samelewing en raak alle sosiale vlakke. 'n Entrepreneuriese benadering het in die nuwe Suid-Afrika 'n middel tot oorlewing geword. Eietydse Suid-Afrikaners word genoodsaak om innoverend en ondernemend te wees ten einde optimaal te kan funksioneer. Dit impliseer dat tersiere instellings byvoorbeeld baie van hul bedrywighede moet kommersialiseer, weens toenemende besnoeiings in subsidiering. Die Universiteit van Stellenbosch word insgelyks deur hierdie besnoeiings geraak. Die doel van hierdie studie is die ontwerp van 'n konsepsuele model en proses vir kommersialisering van akademiese navorsing vir die Universiteit van Stellenbosch, gebaseer op internasionale navorsing. Dit vereis 'n entrepreneuriese denkwyse wat navorsing anders benader as in die verlede. Deur weg te beweeg van 'n suiwer akademiese siening van navorsing, word nuwe vennootskappe, geleenthede en uitkomste moontlik, en skep sodoende ook nuwe bronne van inkomste. Tegniese innoverings wat prakties en uitvoerbaar is kan moontlik as platform dien vir hierdie kommersialisering. Dit veronderstel toepaslike besluitneming as noodsaaklike middel in die bestuur van die proses. 'n Nadere deurskouing van konsepte onderliggend aan suksesvolle kommersialisering van entrepreneurskap, tesame met 'n bree oorsig van navorsing in hierdie verband, het die basis gevorm vir die ontwerp van 'n model. Kernkomponente is eerstens identifiseer. Bestaande modelle het tweedens 'n oorsig van denkpatrone oor die ontwerp van so 'n proses gebied. 'n Sintese van hierdie komponente en modelle het kulmineer in 'n konsepsuele model vir kommersialisering binne die Universiteit van Stellenbosch omgewing. Hierdie model sluit die praktiese deel van kommersialisering, sowel as die ontasbare deel, naamlik organisatoriese denkwyses, houdings en kultuur in.

Abstract:
This special report describes the first phase of developing an ecological model to inform marine bioinvasion risks in the United States. The project responds to the needs of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Aquatic Nuisance Species Research Program, or ANSRP, which addresses all problematic invasive aquatic species affecting the nation’s waterways, infrastructure, and associated resources, and the needs of the USACE navigation and dredging programs. Multiple port-deepening studies are either in progress or under consideration, and all must address ecological risk. Understanding whether and how increased dredging contributes to increased marine bioinvasion risk allows risk mitigation during early planning phases. Considering the potential impacts of future environmental change, such as changing sea level, ocean temperature, and ocean chemistry, will further strengthen planning for marine bioinvasion risk. Therefore, this special report documents current ecological modeling approaches to marine bioinvasion risk models and identifies models that incorporate shipping as a vector. The special report then presents a conceptual model and identifies historic vessel position data from the Automatic Identification System, or AIS, now available for most commercial and some recreational vessels around the United States, as a key source for future model development and testing.

Full text
Abstract:
Passing sediment from reservoirs to downstream channels is a potential solution to aging infrastructure and reservoir storage capacity loss, which is a pressing challenge nationwide. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) sediment management actions at reservoirs such as flushing may drive ecological changes that may be beneficial or detrimental to downstream ecosystems. However, these potential effects are currently not well understood or documented. An exploratory study of the potential ecological effects of releasing sediment downstream from reservoirs is presented in this technical note (TN). We focus on Tuttle Creek Reservoir in Kansas and use fish species as indicators of ecological change. A literature review of Kansas fishes was conducted and three conceptual models illustrating potential benefits or negative effects of releasing sediment downstream of Tuttle Creek Reservoir was developed. Some fish species may benefit from sediment releases, while others may be negatively affected. Further research and tools are needed to develop a greater understanding of these effects.

Abstract:
This paper presents some of the background research that contributed to the discussions within the Inter-American Development Bank's policy and strategy regarding indigenous health issues. The paper's conceptual approach and good practice research helped focus the discussion on the importance of intercultural health practices to promote indigenous peoples' access to allopathic health as well as to strengthen those traditional health practices based on indigenous peoples' own knowledge, culture, social networks, institutions and ways of life, that have shown their effectiveness. The paper presents five intercultural health experiences (in Suriname, Guatemala, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia) that are considered best practices in the field. Although poorly financed, these experiences highlight the significance to indigenous peoples of health models that bridge the gap between state-financed allopathic health services and their own indigenous health systems. This study however, does not represent a medical trial on the efficacy or efficiency of intercultural health models.

Sudhivoraseth, Jitraporn. Policy evaluation on promotion projects implemented by the Public Relations Department's Regional Offices. National Institute of Development Administration ; Chulalongkorn University, 2002. https://doi.org/10.58837/chula.res.2002.21.

Full text
Abstract:
This research aims to study the achievement or failure of the promotion projects implemented by the Public Relations Department’s Regional Offices. The objectives of this study are two fold. First, to evaluate the three promotion projects: Democracy Promotion Project, Drug Prevention and Solution Promotion Project, and AIDS Prevention and Solution Promotion Project under the Action Plan of the Public Relations Department, fiscal year 2000. Second, to investigate the factors relating to the achievements or failures of these three promotion projects under study. The conceptual framework is developed by applying the Mazmanian and Sabatier’ criteria conditions for policies evaluation. As policies are interpreted in term of promotion projects, the output is the dissemination of knowledge and information to the target groups. In order to find out whether and how the knowledge and information effect the target audiences in their implementation, Rogers’s theory of Diffusion of Innovations is used to support the study. The research methodology is an integration of qualitative and quantitative approached. In the conceptual framework there are two sub-models of study. The qualitative approach for data analysis based on Mazmanian and Sabatier’s criteria conditions for policy evaluation is one part of the framework. The variables for the qualitative data analysis are commitment and skills of the officials, hierarchical integration, changing socioeconomic conditions, diversity of target groups, level of clarity of the objectives of projects, causal theories of projects, and budget and resources. The are the causes of the outputs which are types of media, frequency of message and characteristics of message. The quantitative approach for data analysis, the other of the model, is based on Roger’s theory of Diffusion of Innovations. The sub-model of the quantitative approach is at the other side of the general conceptual framework. The variables of the quantitative data analysis are knowledge, comprehension, attitude, decision and implementation. The research results indicate that the officials have moderate commitment and skills in attaining the target goals of the policy of the promotion projects. By having commitment and skills, especially skills in communication and media selection they can implement the promotion projects under the constraint of budget and resources, as well as under the political interference. The level of the objectives of the promotion projects is perceived as moderate and the causal theories are perceived as highly significant by the public relations officials and frontline implementers. This enables them to understand how to select the type of media use which is moderately successful in disseminating the knowledge of the promotion projects and their activities appropriate to the target groups who are upper secondary students. In summary, the implementation of the policies which are interpreted in terms of promotion projects and activities are moderately successful. Two factors are found. They are political interference and the constraint of broader participation. They are significant to the success or failure of an implementation of policy in the Thai bureaucracy. Based on the findings, the researcher suggests that at the policy level, the National Public Relation Policy be more recognized in its importance by the top executives and should be implemented more frequently than it is actually at present. The National Public Relations Policy should be put in every national economic and social development plan. In the past, it was put in the Sixth National Economic and Social Development Plan only. At the implementation level, training courses in public relations campaign planning are particularly needed. There should be also more participation from the frontline implementers in decision making at the national level because they are the persons who are close to the local situation.

Lim, Kenneth Yang Teck, and Longkai Wu. The development of a framework for the effective translation of educational research into sustained practice in Singapore. National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, 2024. https://doi.org/10.32658/10497/27412.

Full text
Abstract:
This project arose from the need to engage in translation and scaling efforts from previous technologically mediated research projects; this is in line with the strategic direction set by the third tranche of research funding at the OER. The concepts of diffusion, scaling and translation are contested and are sometimes framed too narrowly from the paradigm of numbers progressing along a unilinear trajectory alone; to an extent, this paradigm arises from how translation has been understood from the bioscience and pharmacological industries. Transposing these understandings to the Social Sciences in general, and to Education in particular, has not been straightforward. Because of the pressing need to enact translational work for both Future Schools (FS) and eduLab projects and also potential CRPP curricular innovations, a framework to inform decision making and policy formulation is critical. Using one of these projects – the eduLab Six Learnings project – as a test-bed, we have sought to: (a) determine how the design principles and theories which have informed the original research project can be subsequently scaled; and in the process develop a framework for translation which involves detailed understandings into the breadth and depth of the specificity of outcomes resulting from the research; and (b) assess whether there is sufficient preparedness in the schools in terms of teacher-readiness for scaling to occur. The latter is important largely because lethal mutations from the original intentions usually occur if those who take up the interventions do not understand the conceptual underpinnings of the research innovation. Hence, to reiterate, the central focus of this research study is to develop a framework for understanding how the outcomes arising from researcher-driven interventions may be translated, extended and scaled into wider practitioner-driven enactments, in the context of the education system in Singapore. In 2012, we collected data of teacher enactment of Six Learnings curriculum to help us understand the process of effective translation of a curricular innovation in local schools. We explored how teachers in different schools and different levels appropriated a Six Learnings curricular framework in their classrooms, and discuss the kinds of support to be provided to teachers. In our study, we have chosen to stress the importance of people and stakeholders as a key dimension in successful translation efforts. By arguing for a community-based approach to augment translation efforts, we have proposed and justified a social participatory process complementing the traditional product-oriented scaling models. We see this as another significant contribution of this study to the literature. We frame such a community as central to the success of re-creating resemblances and legitimate mutations relative to the original research innovation.

Abstract:
The article reveals the problems of mastering by future specialists of the project methodology of creating pedagogical situations in higher education institutions as a means of improving the quality of education. Objectives of the article: to determine the influence of the project method on the creation of pedagogical situations in the process of teaching students; the choice of logic and mechanism of design actions depends on the purpose and the initial conceptual position regarding the subject reincarnates; to study the influence of pedagogical situations on the quality of education in the higher pedagogical school; to diagnose the implementation of the projects method and pedagogical situations in the process of education at the university. The project method provides the presence of a problem that requires integrated knowledge and research for its solution. The results of the planned activities should have practical, theoretical and cognitive significance. Modeling of pedagogical situations is the process of formation of situations-models which simulate the state and dynamics of the educational process and fix the contradiction between the achieved and desired in the personality development in a certain time interval. During the forming experiment, pedagogical situations were used to form the professional competence of the future specialist.

Abstract:
This report presents the findings of a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis commissioned by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to identify how educational technology (EdTech) interventions impact pupil attainment, particularly for disadvantaged learners. The study addresses a critical need for clarity amidst growing EdTech usage and mixed evidence on effectiveness, especially following increased reliance on digital learning during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The research was conducted in three sequential phases. Phase 1 involved stakeholder engagement with educators and researchers to shape a conceptual framework grounded in practical experience. Phase 2 synthesised global research through systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of EdTech interventions across varied educational contexts. Phase 3 included a structured community review where practitioners validated and refined the findings, ensuring alignment with real-world implementation. Nine high-potential mechanisms were identified as central to effective EdTech use, including aligning technology with pedagogy, creating dynamic feedback loops, supporting adaptive teaching, fostering self-regulation, and ensuring inclusive, accessible design. These mechanisms were synthesised into “building blocks” that underpin effective EdTech models and interventions. Importantly, the review found that while EdTech can benefit all students, disadvantaged pupils may derive disproportionately greater benefit when interventions are well-designed and contextually implemented—though barriers to access and implementation risks remain. This mixed-methods review uniquely integrates quantitative evidence with practitioner insights, offering a practical and nuanced framework for designing, implementing, and evaluating EdTech interventions. The report concludes with actionable guidance for educators, policymakers, and EdTech developers and highlights the need for future research to deepen understanding of contextual factors, mechanisms of change, and sustainable implementation practices.
