Abstract:
Over a decade after the regulation change in Virginia allowing individuals without teaching experience to pursue school counseling careers, no known study had focused exclusively on differences site supervisors observe when training school counselors from different professional backgrounds and the extent to which those counselors employ a tailored supervision approach in the clinical setting. While site supervisor training has been an area of interest in recent articles (e.g., Dollarhide & Miller, 2006), its relationship to supervision philosophies and technique differentiation has not been pr

In this study, the dimensions of environmental determinants of students' satisfaction with their practice teaching were identified and examined. The study employed a non-experimental survey design and utilised a methodology suggested by Hays (1982) for data analysis. Aspects of the vitamin model of job satisfaction developed by Warr (1986, 1987) provided a theoretical base for the study. Two hundred and ninety-five primary teacher education students completed a fifty-five-item questionnaire developed for the study. A factor analysis of these students' responses identified five dimensions. T

Abstract:
Globalization has continuously brought an increased competition among companies, which entails a need for faster and more frequent deliveries of new products. Traditional project management methods, such as stage-gate and waterfall, are commonly used in production development projects and builds on a sequential approach. These methods have proven to have some disadvantages in flexibility, long lead times and it often creates communication barriers between the actors at each stage. The software industry has already encountered these obstacles and responded by introducing agile project managemen

Background. Over the years, agile software development has become increasingly popular in the software industry.

However, the study is framed within the more general question of whether or not there can be such a thing as Jewish Philosophy as a genuinely substantive discipline.

Abstract:
Hot rolling is a highly complex physical problem. The difficult geometry and the hot deformation behaviour of Carbon strip steels during hot rolling render this process difficult to investigate during normal operations or within the laboratory. Numerical models can therefore be used to further understanding of hot rolling with their ability to predict variables that are difficult or even impossible to measure during normal hot rolling operations. A numerical model has been developed using the commercial ABAQUS Finite-Element software package to consider the effect of process variables such as
