Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to document the lived experiences of professional cricketers who had encountered a career-ending non-musculoskeletal injury. Three male cricketers each with over nine years of playing experience in professional cricket representing England and Wales participated in retrospective in-depth semi-structured interviews. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis revealed that at the time of the injury, the participants were at the “final stretch” of their professional sporting careers and that despite a range of unpleasant reactions to injury, all participants experienced a healthy career transition out of sport. To best prepare athletes for a life outside of sport, ensuring athletes have sufficient plans in motion early on in their careers can reduce external and internal stressors, which if not addressed, can increase sport injury risk and have a negative effect on athletes’ reactions post-injury.

Full textAbstract:
The promotion of extended working life has created a period of uncertainty between the ending of work and the beginning of retirement. This period of the life course is now ‘open-ended’ in respect of whether older workers decide to remain in employment or leave working. However, the choices available are framed within public policy and organisational contexts as well as personal circumstances. The study reviews the organisation of ‘work-ending’, the construction of age within organisations, and the influences on provision of support in late working life. The article concludes with a discussion on the range of pressures that might limit control over pathways through middle and late working careers.

Background Back pain is a common problem among rowers. Purpose To determine whether preexisting back pain is a significant risk factor for back pain in intercollegiate rowers and how it relates to the ability of athletes to participate in college rowing. Study Design Survey. Methods Surveys from 1829 former intercollegiate rowing athletes were analyzed. The surveys included questions concerning back pain before the subjects' college career, back pain during intercollegiate rowing, missed practices, the duration of time lost from college rowing because of back pain, and career-ending back pain. Back pain was defined as pain lasting longer than 1 week. Results More subjects with preexisting back pain developed back pain during their college rowing career than subjects without preexisting back pain (57.1% versus 36.6%). Of those with preexisting pain, 55% missed practice because of back pain and 8% ended their college rowing careers; for those without preexisting pain, the percentages were 62% and 17%, respectively. For subjects with pain before their college rowing career, 78.8% missed less than 1 week and 5.9% missed more than 1 month. For subjects with no preexisting pain, 61.9% missed less than 1 week and 18.1% missed more than 1 month. Conclusions While rowers with preexisting back pain are more likely to have back pain in college, they are less likely to miss extended periods of practice time or end their college rowing careers because of back pain.

The article presents the results of the study of the current trend of early start in sports, in particular football. In the course of the study, the age characteristics of the sports career of football players of various playing roles were determined. Statistical analysis of the professional careers of highly qualified football players made it possible to establish the average age of starting sports, the duration of a sports career and the average age of ending sports among footballers. The study involved goalkeepers, defensive line players, offensive line players who professionally practice football and represent the world's leading football clubs. The results obtained in the course of the study suggest the need to expand the age boundaries of the beginning of football and to correct the first stage of the long-term process of sports improvement of football players, taking into account the current trends in the development of world football.

This family farm in Wisconsin was started in 1868 by my great-grandparents and farmed by the generations that followed. My brother and I inherited the farm and tried to keep its 160 acres as a working farm, even as we lived in other places and pursued other careers. What is a family farm, we finally asked, if there is no family on the land to farm it? My way of letting go of this childhood home and family farm is to tell the tale as a witness to the ending of another family farm.

Full textAbstract:
Athletes who retire from their sporting career face an increase in body weight, leading to overweight or obesity. Simultaneously, a significant number of these athletes meet the criteria of metabolic syndrome. The available literature does not offer clearly defined standards of nutrition for the discussed group of people. In this situation, it seems advisable to develop different standards of dietary behavior typical of athletes finishing their sports careers. For this purpose, the study analyzed two types of diets: the Mediterranean diet and the Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition (CRON) diet based on significant calorie restrictions. Both diets seem to meet the requirements of this group of people.

Full textAbstract:
Deep changes regard the political careers of democratic leaders. Until recently, becoming president or prime minister was the last step before retirement or withdrawal to an undemanding seat on the back benches. On the contrary recent heads of government are enthusiastically seeking alternative ways to capitalize on their prestige and contacts portfolio, often ending up in the world of business or international finance. There are many examples of such a trend, from Blair to Mulroney, from Schröder to Barak. This article provides an empirical analysis of the phenomenon, by examining a dataset of 441 leaders in 78 different democratic countries over a period dating from 1989 to 2012. Attention will be focused on the political background of the prime ministers and presidents, how long they stay in power, the average age of heads of government, what professional pursuits they are involved in after their term in office and what career model they follow. The article concludes by proposing a post-presidential model which indicates some of the current trends and illustrates how former leaders are gaining decision-making power and visibility.

Full textAbstract:
The Mexican Constitution of 1917 granted the Supreme Court the power to handpick lower court judges and oversee their careers. For almost eight decades this capacity was not regulated. To fill this void, the justices began to take turns filling vacancies which developed into an informal institution – the so-called ‘Gentlemen’s Pact’. Using original archival data, we document and describe the birth and development of this practice and argue that it consolidated into an informal institution as the judiciary increased in size. We uncover the workings of this social norm that established a patronage model of judicial selection. Our analysis period ends in 1994, when a constitutional reform created a judicial council with the explicit aim of ending patronage and corruption within the judiciary.

AbstractThe Periodic Table of Younger Chemists (PTYC) arose from a group of aspiring scientists in attendance at the 2017 World Chemistry Leadership Meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This project was a celebration of the 100th anniversary of IUPAC and the International Year of the Periodic Table. IUPAC and the International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN) joined forces to create the PTYC and honor rising stars in chemistry from around the world. Beginning in July 2018 and ending in July 2019 at the World Chemistry Congress, we unveiled and honored a diverse group of 118 outstanding younger chemists who embody the mission and core values of IUPAC. The resulting Periodic Table highlights the diversity of careers, outreach participation, and dedication to the chemistry community of those leading us into the next century of IUPAC.

Full textAbstract:
Concussion diagnoses in sport have been increasing steadily over the past two decades. In North America, the prevalence of concussions in professional sports such as football and ice hockey have recently garnered increased media attention and research due primarily to the serious short and long-term health implications. Commonly reported physical symptoms include headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light and sound. Concussed individuals also suffer psychological symptoms such as isolation, anxiety, and depression. In some cases, the combination of physical and psychological symptoms has led to career termination and personal distress. The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of career ending concussions on former National Hockey League (NHL) players. Five participants were interviewed for the current study, and data was analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) (Smith, Flowers, & Larkin, 2009). Results revealed four higher order categories: (a) Concussion Experiences which described participants' physical and psychological symptoms from their concussions, (b) Environmental Influences which discussed relationships with key individuals and organizations throughout their careers, (c) Professional Sport Transition which described participants' career termination, as well as the transition to their post athletic lives, and (d) Education and Recommendations which included participants' insights that were grouped into concussion education and recommendations to improve player safety. These results indicated that physical and psychological symptoms of concussions caused participants challenges in their professional careers, their personal relationships, and with their quality of life. The current results represent the first empirical account of professional athletes who have talked about their experiences with a career ending concussion. These findings are of interest to medical professionals, sport psychology practitioners, coaches, parents, and athletes to gain a more thorough understanding of concussions. In addition, the current study expands career termination literature by including the experiences of professional athletes. Through the use of retrospective interviews, this study presented athletes' experiences with short and long-term effects of concussions which in turn enhanced the overall understanding of concussive injury.<br>Les diagnostics de commotions cérébrales dans le sport n'ont cessé d'augmenter de façon constante depuis les deux dernières décennies. En Amérique du Nord, la fréquence de commotions cérébrales dans les sports professionnels comme le football et le hockey sur glace, a récemment attiré l'attention des médias et de la recherche principalement à cause des effets néfastes sur la santé à court et à long terme. Les symptômes physiques les plus fréquents sont les maux de tête, les étourdissements, la vision floue, et la sensibilité à la lumière et au son. Les individus ayant souffert de commotion cérébrale souffrent aussi d'autres symptômes tels que l'isolement, l'anxiété et la dépression. Dans certains cas, la combinaison de symptômes physiques et psychologiques a entraîné des fins de carrière et des problèmes personnels sérieux. Le but de cette étude était de comprendre les effets des commotions ayant entraîné la fin de carrière chez les anciens joueurs de la Ligue Nationale de Hockey (LNH). Cinq participants ont été rencontrés en entrevue pour la présente étude et les données ont été analysées en utilisant l'IPA "interpretative phenomenological analysis" (Smith, Flowers & Larkin, 2009). Les résultats sont divisés en quatre catégories principales: (a) Les expériences de commotions cérébrales décrivent les symptômes physiques et psychologiques du participant, (b) les influences environnementales concernent les relations entre joueurs, individus-clés et organisations, (c) la transition de carrière sportive décrit la fin de carrière des participants ainsi que la transition à leur nouveau mode de vie, (d) l'éducation et les recommandations: les réflexions des participants ont été considérées pour établir un programme d'éducation sur les commotions et des recommandations pour améliorer leur sécurité. Ces résultats ont indiqué que les symptômes physiques et psychologiques ont causé des défis aux participants dans leur carrière professionnelle, leurs relations interpersonnelles et leur qualité de vie. Les résultats de cette recherche représentent les premiers comptes-rendus empiriques d'athlètes professionnels qui ont fait part de leur expérience de fin de carrière causée par une commotion cérébrale. Ces constatations représentent un intérêt pour les professionnels de la santé, les praticiens en psychologie sportive, les entraîneurs, les parents et les athlètes afin de mieux leur faire comprendre les effets de la commotion cérébrale. La présente étude, basée sur des entrevues rétrospectives racontant l'expérience d'athlètes professionnels, complète la documentation et les références scientifiques sur les fins de carrière et accroît la compréhension générale des accidents reliés à la commotion cérébrale et de leurs effets à court et long terme.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate patterns of identity change in elite athletes after a career ending injury. A qualitative study examined 9 retired athletes two to five years after their international competitive experience. An interpretive description analysis involved four levels of data analysis. The first level of data analysis identified a pattern of over identification with the elite athlete role and a clear pattern of more balanced identity contrasted with a less balanced identity prior to injury. The second level of analysis described smooth versus ineffective transitions after injury. At a third level of analysis, four factors (internal resources, cognitive coping style, relational connections and continuity with sport) emerged and were associated with smooth versus ineffective/turbulent retirement experiences. Finally, at the fourth level of analysis the study found four identity styles. These four styles (termed balanced identity, lost identity, intensification of identity and living for sport identity) are congruent with descriptions of adolescent identity and suggest that, for some athletes, tasks associated with identity development are delayed until retirement from sport. A pattern of positive adaptation was also identified, indicating that over commitment to an athletic identity does not preclude normative identity development or a positive retirement transition. Athlete autonomy and confidence, as well as relationships with coach, teammates and parents, were associated with the experience of a smooth versus turbulent retirement. Implications for practice are discussed in relation to factors that could promote adaptation in the event of sport injury or sport career termination.

Thesis advisor: Andy Hargreaves<br>Interest in educational change has continued to grow over the past three decades (Fullan, 1982; Tyack & Cuban, 1995). One focus has been the challenge of implementing sustainable reforms, particularly in secondary schools, which have traditionally been resistant to change (Goodson, 1983; Hargreaves, 2003; Louis & Miles, 1990; McLaughlin & Talbert, 2001). Another has been the role of teachers in implementing, sustaining and also resisting change (Fullan, 1993; Hargreaves, 1994; Kennedy, 2005; Little, 1996). In spite of challenges--and arguably lack of success--wave after wave of reform has attempted to introduce lasting change in schools (Sarason, 1990). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) (U.S. Department of Education, 2002) represents the latest wave of reform. This wave requires a relentless focus on achievement and improvement. The impact of NCLB is felt at the state level, where high-stakes, standardized tests are given annually as a means to measure progress (U.S. Department of Education, 2002). In Massachusetts, the test is the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). While the effects of mandated change are undoubtedly felt at all levels, it is teachers in mid-career for whom the stakes might be highest. Will reform work successfully stimulate and support them, or will it feel like an additional and unwanted burden on the their already full schedules? My dissertation thus explores the following question: * What are the effects of contemporary high-stakes mandated reform on the change commitments and capacities of middle career teachers? Related to this broad question, I explore the in-school conditions and generational factors that influence these change commitments and capacities. The surprising findings revealed that most teachers, representing both high and low performing schools in urban and suburban districts, felt that the MCAS in particular and the standards movement in general offer a neutral to positive opportunity for teachers to assess their students and to hone their curricular and teaching strategies. This statement holds true for the quantitative data as well; teachers generally appear to feel more control and influence over their work than in the recent past<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2009<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored long term foster carers' experiences of placement endings and their accounts of the psychological and emotional impact of these events. The study also focussed on both the approaches carers adopted to cope at these times and the resources which they found helpful or otherwise. Carers' perceptions of responses from family, community members and Social Care Services were explored as well. The research was intended to help recognise the needs of foster carers and advocate their views. In depth interviews were conducted with ten long term foster carers who had experienced a placement ending. A grounded theory approach towards the data analysis was chosen to develop a model of the ending process for carers. The analysis suggested that carers' experiences of placement endings were influenced by the decision process, the reasons for the placement breakdown and the carers' perceptions of their role. The actual ending event provided the context of the carers' responses. While for some stories of relief emerged, the predominant responses involved feelings of loss, responsibility, self criticism and helplessness. The findings suggested that foster carers experienced placement endings as a process which involved both shorter and longer term reactions. Inherent in the process were the coping strategies employed which enabled the letting go of the relationship with the foster child and facilitated carers in continuing their role, their future approaches to fostering and future decision making. The factors which seemed to impede this process included lack of recognition from others and barriers to the carers' expressions of feelings. The results also generated ideas for future practice. The findings are discussed in relation to the literature. Theoretical understandings of stress, trauma and loss are considered with a particular emphasis on the salient factors associated with the role of the foster carer. The clinical implications of the study are also discussed. In particular, recommendations are made for supporting carers through placement endings with suggestions for psychological support. Service recommendations are also presented with an emphasis on team working, recognition of practitioners' feelings and new concepts of support.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Research on carers of people with eating disorders (ED) is limited and on carers of people with severe and enduring eating disorders (SEED) almost nonexistent. Nearly 40% of carers of people with ED experience clinical level mental health difficulties. The current aims investigated wellbeing in carers of people with ED and specifically, carers of people with SEED; investigated gender differences; and compared data with wellbeing studies investigating carers of people with other long-term conditions. The Stress Process Model (SPM) (Pearlin, Mullan, Semple, & Skaff, 1990) was used to better understand predictors of wellbeing. Method: Carers (28 male, 76 female) were recruited from ED carer support groups. Carers were stratified using duration (since diagnosis) of their recipient’s ED (0-2 years, 2-6 years, over 6 years). The “over 6 years” category was classified as SEED. Comparison data were drawn from carers of people with dementia, brain injury, ED and psychosis. Standardised questionnaires measured wellbeing (SF-36), experiences of caregiving (ECI), perceived caregiver competence (MoCC), sense of personal mastery (MoPM) and expressive support (MoES). Results: Carers of people with SEED were not significantly different on reported wellbeing to the whole sample of carers of people with ED. However, carers of people with ED reported significantly less wellbeing than community norms, carers of people with brain injury and dementia. Perceived dependency, carer gender and sense of personal mastery accounted for 29% of the variance in mental wellbeing scores. Differences in reported positive experiences of caregiving were identified. Discussion: The mental wellbeing of carers of people with SEED and ED appears poorer than carers of other conditions. Further research on carers of people with SEED is needed. The SPM is a helpful framework to use. Clinical implications include ensuring that perception of dependency and the positive experiences of caregiving are addressed in workshops and support groups.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose d’expliquer le faible taux d’emploi enregistré en France après 55 ans par les risques de fragilité économique, professionnelle, sociale et familiale que révèle le passage à la retraite. Elle repose sur le postulat de la liberté de choix dans la décision de retraite.En 2005, une étude quantitative sur les intentions de départ à la retraite a été menée auprès de 1004 individus en emploi, âgés de 54 à 59 ans. Les trajectoires personnelles comportant leur part d’incertitude et de changements, 31 entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés auprès de membres de l’échantillon initial, cinq ans plus tard, afin de permettre un suivi longitudinal. L’articulation des représentations de la retraite, du parcours professionnel et de la trajectoire familiale vise à cerner les écarts entre les projets et les choix adoptés et à déterminer les facteurs-clés impliqués dans la décision.Cette thèse souligne tout d’abord que la majorité des projets initiaux ne sont pas concrétisés. Le déterminisme du contexte professionnel sur la décision de retraite explique en partie ces réajustements : dégradation des conditions de travail, déclassement en fin de carrière, stigmatisation sont autant d’arguments susceptibles d’inciter les individus à partir à la retraite plus tôt que prévu. Mais les itinéraires familiaux pèsent également sur ces choix : « pivots générationnels » entre des parents âgés et des descendants à soutenir, les jeunes retraités doivent faire face à des charges familiales qui influent sur leur décision. Enfin, cette recherche met en évidence la manière dont les jeunes retraités issus du baby-boom, très attachés à leur liberté individuelle tout au long de leur parcours, défendent la préservation d’espaces personnels (individualisation des pratiques), adoptant ainsi des modèles familiaux et une manière de vivre la retraite inédits<br>This thesis seeks to explain the low employment rate in France for people aged 55 years and above in terms of the increasing risk of economic, professional, social and family fragility observed in the transition to retirement. The research is based on the postulate of “free choice” in retirement decisions.In 2005, a quantitative study on the intentions of retirement was conducted among 1,004 employed individuals aged 54-59 years. As personal life courses are marked by change and uncertainties, a longitudinal analysis comprising 31 semi-structured interviews was conducted five years later with participants of the initial sample. The combined study of representations of retirement, end of career and family context allows differences to be identified between plans and the final adopted choices, and the key factors involved in the final decision to be determined.First of all, this thesis demonstrates that most of the initial plans are not realised. The determinism of the professional context on the retirement decision partly explains the observed adjustments: a degradation of working conditions, the assignation of under-qualified tasks at the end of a career, and stigmatisation are all factors that encourage people to retire earlier than expected. But the family environment also influences choices: as "generational pivots" between elderly parents and children to support, young retired people have to face family responsibilities that affect their decisions. Finally, this research highlights how young retirees from the baby boom, for whom individual freedom played a central role in their past life course, adopt new family models and a new way of living (the preservation of “individual spaces” and individualised behaviours) during retirement

Full textAbstract:
This research aimed to explore further the gap in knowledge regarding the experiences of BME carers, with the objective of introducing a methodological qualitative insight into the field of caring for people with mental health problems. To fulfil the aims and objectives, the study asked: 'what are Black Afro-Caribbean women's' experiences of caring for someone with a severe and enduring mental health problem?' Design The research used face-to-face, semi structured interviews as the method of data collection, alongside Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) which was chosen as the method of data analysis. Participants Eight participants were interviewed as part of the research. They self-identified as Black Afro-Caribbean carers, were 33-79 years old, and were all female. Results Four super-ordinate themes arose from the transcripts; 'A personal and cultural understanding of the caring role', 'Getting on with the tasks of caring', 'Dealing with an imperfect system', 'Valuing support'. Conclusions The participants faced similar difficulties to other carers in terms of; the struggles involved with their caring role, the difficulties they faced with the system, and how much they valued social and professional support in their caring role. It is possible to conclude that whilst ethnicity was important in some areas, particularly when dealing with the system and the church's influence on individual coping strategies, it was not an over-arching theme. This suggests that ethnicity is not something which can be I I' 'I I t ,I '11 'I ,I ·1 Page 130 rated, but is inter-twined with multiple aspects of the experience when caring r someone with a mental health problem. 1!IJPlications The participants wanted to see change in the system in terms of the attitudes of staff, the general treatment of service users and the extent to wh ich they are included in the care of their loved ones. Therefore this research has implications for changes in clinical practice.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter bridges the macro–micro gap by showing how the historical transformation of intimacy is reflected in older individuals’ relationship careers. The chapter challenges the idea that current generations of older people have normally lived their lives in single lifelong marriages ending in widowhood and shows the complexity of their relationship careers. It discusses the consequences of prior relationship experiences on interest in, and preferences for, late-life intimacy. It discusses the different implications of being widowed versus divorced for interest in repartnering. Finally, it focuses on the different biographical relationship experiences of women and men and how they impact on the interest for repartnering in later life. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the presented findings in relation to the deinstitutionalisation of the life course. Extensive biographical case descriptions are used to give the reader an understanding of what it means to have lived one’s life during the historical transition to divorce culture.

Chapter 7 asks who will meet the growing demand for long-term care services as the proportion of care-dependent older adults increases. It explores meeting demand by relying on family caregivers and migrant workers and raises justice concerns with each related to respect for caregiver dignity. Dignity violations arise for family caregivers in both Confucian-influenced societies, which stress filial piety, and Western societies, which emphasize individual autonomy. Chapter 7 argues that families are subject to justice principles and defends feminist views on families, which regard just family structures as necessary for a just state. Hiring low-wage migrant workers from poor nations to support family caregiving also raises justice concerns. When care moves across borders, forging global care chains between nations, the conditions in which migrant caregivers live and work often fail to uphold dignity. Without safeguards to avoid bait-and-switch tactics and protect fundamental human dignities, migrant work violates justice principles.

Chapter 8 imagines future challenges of designing and deploying carebots for eldercare and related artificial intelligence (AI) applications. We examine the objection that sociable robots cannot function adequately as caregivers because they do not care about care recipients. We show that what matters most is that care gets expressed, and we defend a version of care ethics which holds that the form care takes varies, depending on the capacities, contexts, and needs of those who give and receive care. While robotics literature stresses using machines to extend autonomy, we stress extending care and supporting not only autonomy but a range of human capabilities. We evaluate the goal of aligning machine behavior with human values (values alignment) and argue that this leads to algorithmic biases. We consider whether sophisticated AI should be trusted, since it operates as a black box, and address concerns about the ethics of robot deception.

Full textAbstract:
Assessing students (including giving feedback and making decisions based on assessments) is arguably the single most important thing done in universities in terms of tangible impacts on people’s lives, but assessment is hard to do. Academics are seldom trained in assessment, and for many it is the most worrying aspect of the job. The University of Manchester operates a New Academics Programme for its probationary lecturers, running over three years and encompassing research, teaching, and administrative aspects of academic careers, culminating in a reflective portfolio. This case study describes the introduction of an assessment component into this programme, including its motivation, content, implementation, and evolution, and its reception by the new academics. The assessment component of the New Academics Programme is now delivered in two sessions at different times of the year. The first covers the importance of assessment and gives guidance for designing good assessments and giving feedback. The second session goes more deeply into constructive alignment and learning outcomes, leading on to decision making in exam boards, and ending with a focus on cultivating academic judgement.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter begins by describing an experience of Iceland that casts Samuel Johnson's claim that “No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money” into serious doubt. With only 350,000 speakers, the potential readership for Icelandic books is truly small; yet Iceland's publishing scene is thriving. It discusses the counterproductive effect of financial rewards as the strongest for activities that people find psychologically rewarding because they are fun, culturally valued, or otherwise meaningful. An author can experience the writing process as play, in which the creator enjoys a high degree of control over the outcome and may also feel gratified for having made a contribution to society, advancing knowledge in an area that one cares about, or the pure satisfaction of self-expression. The chapter further clarifies that people internalize the notion that doing something for profit makes it less praiseworthy and being financially rewarded may undermine the sense of pride or virtue associated with it.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines In the Mouth of Madness (1995) within the context of John Carpenter's wider filmography. It explores not only how the film incorporates and builds on many of the ideas that he has explored throughout his career, but also the ways in which it differs and stands apart from his other works. In the Mouth of Madness marks the climax of the director's self-named ‘Apocalypse Trilogy’, preceded by The Thing (1982) and Prince of Darkness (1987), whilst it also speaks to his wider eschatological preoccupations, as well recurring Carpenterian themes around the loss of free will, a paranoid distrust of mass industry and global corporations, and the cataclysmic resurgence of an ancient evil. The fact that Carpenter retroactively labelled these films a trilogy in no way diminishes how effectively they function as one cohesive piece. But while the themes of In the Mouth of Madness are classic Carpenter, artistically it represents a departure from some of his most recognisable stylistic trademarks, namely his editing, camerawork, and use of music.

Full textAbstract:
Updating ones professional skills, continuing education and the ability to work successfully in multidisciplinary environments have become increasingly critical to staying competitive in the face of rapid advances in technology and the current trends toward outsourcing of engineering jobs. Mechanical engineers, specifically, are continuously confronted with staying current with proficiency in CAD and FEA tools, evolving multiplicity of design materials and increased sophistication of design components, as are their capabilities in communicating with both engineers and non-engineers. A survey conducted of engineering alumni of the California State University, Fullerton indicates how its graduates pursue the complex task of staying current and the degree of successes achieved in this never ending endeavor. The survey evaluated ways and means of these efforts and the employers’ attitudes and support, or lack thereof, towards such efforts, experiences of working in multidisciplinary and multi national teams and attitudes towards community service. Relationships between continued education and career are examined. Implications of the findings to engineers, education and industry are discussed. Roles that educational institutions and professional societies play in this process are carefully examined and discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Although growing in popularity in other countries, the business professional doctorate has yet to gain traction in the U.S. Such programs, intended to offer advanced disciplinary and research training to individuals who later plan to apply that training to employment in industry, are frequently seen to be inferior to their academically-focused Ph.D. program counterparts. Furthermore, if the sole purpose of a doctorate is to develop individuals focused on producing scholarly research articles, that assessment may well be correct. We argue, however, that such a narrowly focused view of the purpose of doctoral programs is self-defeating; by exclusively focusing on scholarly research and writings, we virtually guarantee that our research will never make it into practice. The paper begins by identifying a variety of types of doctoral programs that exist globally and placing these in a conceptual framework. We then present a detailed case study of the information systems (IS) doctoral programs offered in Osnabrueck, Germany—where as many as 90% of candidates choose careers in industry in preference to academia. Finally, we propose— supported using both conceptual arguments drawn from the study of complex informing and observed examples—that the greatest benefit of business professional doctorates may be the creation of enduring informing channels between practice and industry. Presented in this light, the business professional doctorate should be viewed as an essential part of the broader research ecology, rather than as a weak substitute for the disciplinary Ph.D.
