This article proposes that the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) collegecurriculum in South Africa needs restructuring in order for it to support more innovativeresponses to industry requirements and TVET standards. The ultimate aim of this study was todevelop a framework for leading curriculum change in the South African TVET college sector, aframework that will be able to support training and capacity-building among TVET collegeleaders to bring about long-overdue curriculum change. To achieve this aim, curriculumleadership is essential. The multi-phased, mixed-methods research design used in this studyinvolved a questionnaire survey and follow-up group interviews with TVET college staffrepresentative of five TVET colleges in the Western Cape province. Based on these data sources,the study reports on a range of current curriculum challenges in TVET colleges which formed thebasis for suggesting a research-based framework to train leaders to take the initiative in TVETcuriculum change. The study findings confirm the need for TVET college curriculum reform,which, in turn, requires competent curriculum leadership and leadership development. Theresearch therefore contributes to theory and practice in the field of South African TVETcurriculum leadership.

Technology education is one the programmes designed to provide technical knowledge and skills necessary for economic development in Nigeria. But technology education programme has a constraint to its advancement which this study investigated. The study adopted the survey research method for the design. The population of the study was 453 persons comprised of 379 students and 74 technical teachers from one Technical College and a University with technology education department in each of the 6 states of the South-South geo-political zone. A simple random sampling technique was used to obtain a sample size of 188 which comprised of 33 technical teachers and 155 students. A 5-item questionnaire was used as the instrument for the study. The questionnaire item was followed by a single response category based on a 5-point rating scale format of Very High Extent (VHE), High Extent (HE), Moderate Extent (ME), Low Extent (LE) and Very Low Extent (VLE). A test re-test method was adapted to test the reliability of the instrument to obtain a coefficient of 0.73. The data gathered was analyzed using mean and z-test analysis to answer the research question and hypothesis respectively. The finding revealed that digital illiteracy is a constraint to technology education advancement in Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was recommended that in order to enhance digital proficiency in technology education, government should adequately provide digital facilities in all technology education institutions in Nigeria.

The study was conducted to ascertain the perception of Federal College of Education Technical lecturers towards technical education research in the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria. In pursuance of this purpose, four research questions were formulated and one hypothesis tested. The population comprised of 70 lecturers of Federal Colleges of Education (Technical) in Asaba, Umunze and Omoku. The entire population was used for the study. No sampling was done because of the fewness of the population. The design used was a survey. The instrument used was the questionnaire. On the whole 57 items were drawn using the Likert scale format. The instrument was considered valid by experts with the reliability coefficient of 0.89 using Cronbach alpha. Simple percentage and t-test were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that: Government’s inactive role in supporting and promoting research activities in colleges of education (technical) caused low morale of lecturers towards research; A lot of constraints such as poor attitude to research, falsification of research data, among others are the challenges of technical education research. The study recommends among others that: About 10 per cent of the education tax fund should be voted to research; Government should improve its communication network.

Abstract This study sought to unravel academic factors which influence access, participation and success in a South African technical, vocational, education and training (TVET) college. The research questions which guided this research paper were as follows: What are students’ experiences of access, participation and success in the context of one South African TVET college? How do students navigate the contextual dynamics that affect access, participation and success? A qualitative research design was used to investigate academic factors which impede or promote access, participation and success in the TVET College. An interview schedule was used to generate data which would highlight the participants’ experiences of access, participation and success in the TVET College. An analysis of the reasons why students experience challenges in their academic performance in the college revealed that the under-preparedness of students for the TVET curriculum, the language of instruction, academic support programmes in the college, provision of educational resources assessment approaches had negative and/or positive influences on access, participation and success in the TVET college.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the experiences of women students in an Engineering programme at a South African technical and vocational education and training (TVET) college. Drawing on the capabilities approach as the study’s theoretical framework, the author interprets what women go through as they navigate college and transition into the labour market. While there is a growing literature on post-school education, particularly on TVET, few studies focus on the experiences of women students in traditionally male-dominated programmes such as Engineering. Furthermore, South African education and training policies since 1994 make reference to a commitment to resolving the inequalities under the previous apartheid government, specifically with regard to gender inequality. Through a case study approach, the research reported on in this article sought to understand how the democratic government’s commitment to social justice was being implemented and experienced on the ground, and, more particularly, whether it is improving the position of women students. Qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews were collected in two phases from 14 women in their final trimester of the National Accredited Technical Education Diploma (NATED) programme and about six months after that. The findings show that the students face various challenges while they persist with their education, and also in obtaining either internships or employment. By highlighting the experiences of women in TVET, it is hoped thatthis understanding will help to persuade the government to embrace social justice in the postschool sector so as to enhance the study and employment opportunities of women who enrol in Engineering.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Educator morale has been a focus of educational leaders and managers throughout the world, because without educator motivation and morale the learning and teaching in our schools would be grossly compromised. It is against this background that this research was carried out to find out lecturers’ perceptions of leadership traits which promote motivation in a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college in South Africa. The research questions which guided this research were as follows: What are lecturers′ perceptions of leadership traits which promote motivation in an educational and training institution in South Africa? How can educational leaders and management in South Africa integrate their experiences and practices with what educators believe are the main drivers of high lecturer morale? A qualitative study was used to generate data that would be useful in answering the research questions. The nature of this qualitative study required in-depth interviews with participants where qualitative data was generated and interpreted. The researcher saw it fit to use in-depth interviews because this method of data generation would enable the researcher to capture the perspectives, views and opinions of participants about leadership traits which facilitate motivation in the South African TVET College in particular and the South African education system in general. The views of the participants showed that leadership traits such as accountability, responsibility, empathy, decisiveness, assertiveness, charisma, pro-activeness, motivation and communication are the life-blood, foundation and bed-rock of effective leadership and management in the TVET College.

Full textAbstract:
This study determined enhancing effectiveness in teaching and learning technical drawing for sustainable development in Nigerian technical colleges. Two research questions focusing on status of Technical Drawing in Nigerian Technical Colleges and mechanisms for enhancing teaching and learning of Technical Drawing guided the study. The population of the study was all the 152 technical college administrators in state government owned technical colleges in South- Western States of Nigeria. A 30-item self-developed questionnaire was used to collect data from all the 152 respondents. The questionnaire was validated by three experts and its reliability coefficient was established at 0.92 using Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient method. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study found that traditional mode of classroom instruction dominated the teaching and learning of technical drawing and that procurement of ICT facilities and retraining of technical drawing teachers would enhance teaching and learning of the subject. The study recommended, among others that relevant stakeholders responsible for the administration of technical colleges should procure ICT facilities for teaching and learning of technical drawing.

The National Certificate (Vocational) (NC(V)) was introduced into South Africa’s system of vocational training to ‘solve problems of poor quality programmes, lack of relevance to the economy, as well as low technical and cognitive skills of TVET [technical and vocational education and training] graduates’. The NC(V) did not, however, meet expectations, partially because of systemic difficulties. This article reports on research conducted among students who studied on the NC(V) Civil and Construction programme in an effort to identify appropriate corrections that could be made by college management. The research project made use of Tinto’s Student Integration Model to identify reasons for both student attrition and student persistence. The study provides information on the predicament facing TVET Civil and Construction students and has broad relevance for practitioners operating in higher and post-school education.

Full textAbstract:
This article reports on the findings of an industry workplace experience project involving lecturers in South Africa's technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges, against the backdrop of new legislation and the realization that college lecturers' industry-related skills are in question. Its focus is on the nature of TVET lecturer industry-based workplace learning and the internal dynamics of its implementation in the college and employer systems. The article provides background on workplace-based learning for TVET lecturers and contrasts this form of workplace learning with forms used for students. After providing a critical analysis of methods used to theorize workplace-based learning, a model is employed to describe and analyse lecturers' experiences, with the aim of informing national and international knowledge and practice. The study supports the argument that workplace-based learning for TVET lecturers is not the same as for students. While students are exposed to workplaces to provide them with orientation and initial skills for future careers, workplace-based learning for lecturers is designed to improve knowledge development competencies. TVET lecturers undertake workplace-based learning to improve their knowledge of practice and so improve their theorization and teaching skills. The article points to the need for further research on and theorizing of industry-based workplace learning for lecturers.

Full textAbstract:
South Africa’s policy frameworks for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and adult and continuing education and training (ACET) lecturers require that the work-integrated learning (WIL) element of programmes include WIL in appropriate ‘industry settings’ to ensure that TVET lecturers develop expertise in both teaching their subjects and preparing their students for the demands of the workplace. Whereas the country’s education faculties have a strongly developed practice of school-based WIL, none currently offers a formal programme that includes WIL in industry. International literature on teacher placement in industry thus largely concerns the in-service placement of practising educators to develop and update their industry knowledge and experience. In South Africa, some institutions have embarked on projects that have developedknowledge of industry WIL for TVET college lecturers, one of these being the SSACI-EDTP SETA WIL for Lecturers Project, through which more than 400 college lecturers have completed a work placement, conducted between 2014 and 2017. It provides a significant amount of information on the possible nature and implementation of the industry-based WIL component of the lecturer qualifications currently being developed. Using the Shulman and Shulman (2004) framework on teacher learning, this article analyses the project. It seeks to deepen the understanding of the nature of lecturer learning through WIL and also to contribute to the national, African and broader international discourse on the placement in industry of vocational educators and articulation between the worlds of work and education.

It was traditional, within her social class and at that time, to send children to boarding school: in Felicity's case, to West Heath School in Kent. Unfortunately, this coincided with the perils of World War II and the onslaught of the Luftwaffe which, too frequently, chose to cross the coast dangerously near the school. In the interests of her safety, Felicity was moved back to Wales where, at Cardiff Technical College, she matriculated.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Our work helps show universities that embedding dedicated sexual health clinics within university health and wellness clinics may expand the amount of students they see for sexual health screenings during a time of increased sexual behavior and exploration. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The National College Health Association reports that college students have frequent, condomless sex. Student health and wellness clinics (SHWC) offer sexual health services, but few have dedicated sexual health clinics (SHC). We evaluated sexual health service use at a university SHWC after implementation of a dedicated SHC two half-days per week. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This was a retrospective analysis of data collected from patients receiving sexual health screening at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) SHWC between January 2015 and June 2019. Demographic variables, sexual behaviors, reason for testing, and rates of STIs were extracted from the electronic medical record and were compared by clinic (SHC vs. SHWC). Data on screening visits of patients over 18 were included in the final analysis. Variables were summarized with frequencies and percentages. Univariate models were fit, and multi-variable models will be fit, selecting variables with p values of 0.1 or less. Odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for univariate analysis are presented. The study was approved by the UAB Institutional Review Board. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 5025 STI screenings were performed. Males (OR 4.13; 3.61-4.72), undergraduates (OR 1.33; 1.15-1.54), and persons reporting sex with the same sex (OR 1.88; 1.56-2.28), were significantly more likely to seek care at the SHC. Students with symptoms were more likely to seek care at the SHWC (OR 0.53; 0.47-0.61), while persons who reported contact with STIs were more likely to seek care at the SHC (OR 2.88; 2.22-3.74). The overall percentage of positive screenings was 9.3% for chlamydia (CT), 3.0% for gonorrhea (GC), 0.8% for trichomoniasis (TV), 0.7% for syphilis, and 0.3% for HIV with higher percentages of positive for CT (OR 1.60; 1.30-1.96) and GC (OR 2.02; 1.44-2.85) in the SHC. A greater percentage of positives for TV (OR 0.37; 0.14-0.96) was found in the SHWC. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Based on demographics of persons utilizing services, embedding a dedicated SHC within a university SHWC may expand populations reached for STI screening. With higher percentages of patients testing positive for CT and GC, a SHC may allow for greater diagnosis and treatment of STIs in general screening and persons presenting as contacts.

Abstract The digital era highlights industrial advances, changes in the labor market, and in the educational system. This study investigates these factors through analytical indicators such as the workforce, education, and innovation in Brazil within a global context. It is a qualitative exploratory research that enables a reflection on the relations between the workforce and technological education for the skilled labor. The database used includes documentary data from the literature and data from census surveys in Brazil and abroad. Data indicate that Brazil is significantly delayed in the digital industry, human capital, and research – behind all the other BRICS countries (Russia, India, China and South Africa) in terms of innovation. About 11 million people aged 15–29 are not working and are not enrolled in high school, college, technical course, or vocational qualification. The number of students aged 15 to 19 years old attending technical courses is still around 9%. The network of national technical institutes is key for the rapid recomposition of the skilled labor with regard to industry. The Brazilian economy needs to grow to strengthen both the digital industry and research. Public policies need to heed the advice regarding the link between technical education and industry. This is equally important for the success of the Brazilian Agenda for Industry 4.0.

The medical education in Nepal faces many challenges. Medical education, in order to keep up with the times, needs to adapt to the changing attitudes of society. We need a change for better. The curriculum is outdated to the clinical needs, and the students are rarely taught any skills and innovations or creativity to think for the future, and whoever wishes to change the system will be isolated. A serious shortage of talents, subject knowledge, technical skills and communication skills in teachers is affecting the future of medical students. Many medical teachers teach in local language making students poor communicators.Nepal, a developing country in South Asia is in transition had suffered from a decade long violent conflict and the country is in the implementation of its new constitution and suffers from political instability which may contribute several challenges like general shutdowns, frequent bandhs, shortage of electricity, load shedding, voltage fluctuation and problems with internet in conducting MBBS program in a Medical College.At the moment, there is no foreseeable future effort by parents, teachers, educationists, policy makers and politicians to correct this and courageously bring in radical reforms in medical education. These challenges can be overcome by cooperation and working together to create a peaceful and stable climate. Nepal has been going through tremendous changes in the last few years. Medical teachers have a great role to play and stand against many odds.Journal of Gandaki Medical College Vol. 10, No. 1, 2017, Page: 49-56

Full textAbstract:
Ralph Waldo Emerson MacIvor, a Scottish chemist, was brought to Victoria in 1876 by the prominent landowner W. J. Clarke to lecture to farmers on scientific agriculture. MacIvor lectured frequently over the next few years, joining in agricultural politics and supporting the establishment of agricultural colleges. He also lectured in South Australia and New Zealand. His lectures were fully reported in the press and in 1879 he incorporated their content in a book, The Chemistry of Agriculture. He was one of the unsuccessful applicants for the University of Melbourne's chair of chemistry to which David Orme Masson was appointed in 1886. In 1884, MacIvor was appointed by the new Sydney Technical College to lecture in country districts on scientific agriculture, but served for less than a year. He returned to Britain where he practised in London as a consulting analytical chemist. MacIvor came with experience in original chemical research, but he was not brought to Australia to conduct research in agricultural chemistry.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the decades before Confederation in 1949, one important link between the Dominion of Canada and the reluctant tenth province was the increasing reliance of New- foundland students upon Canadian institutions for advanced education and training. Five volumes of Who's Who in Newfoundland, published between 1927 and 1961, provide biographical information on 344 individuals who left the colony to pursue educational opportunities abroad. The major focus for such opportunities shifted over time from Great Britain to the mainland of Canada. Institutions in the Maritime provinces drew over half of these students, while colleges and schools in Ontario received almost one-quarter. In some instances, Newfoundlanders became an impor- tant proportion of the student body at individual colleges -for example, students from western Newfoundland at Saint Francis Xavier and students from the south coast at Mount Allison. The highest proportion was probably the 15 per cent which Newfoundlander s formed in the general student body at Nova Scotia Technical College in the several years around 1940. The establishment of Memorial University College in 1925 did two things: it made Newfoundland more self-contained in matters of higher education, and it strengthened certain patterns of international linkage, especially with Canada. Fledgling Memo- rial's major formal affiliations were with the universities of the Maritime provinces: Memorial s president joined representatives of Acadia, Dalhousie, Saint Mary's, King's, Mount Allison and Saint Francis Xavier on the unified Atlantic region govern- ing body of Nova Scotia Technical College and 55 per cent of the degrees held by Memorial's preconfederation faculty members were from Canadian institutions. This paper demonstrates how natural it was for Newfoundland to be drawn within the Canadian educational orbit in the first half of the twentieth century, while charac- teristic patterns in the links that were formed between two North American countries are illustrated.

Full textAbstract:
The author conducted a systematic review of the perception of online learning among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The review included 21 studies from institutions in Asia (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, and The Philippines), Europe (Romania and Poland), Africa (Ghana and Algeria), and South America (Chile). The results indicated that students from Asia and Africa overwhelmingly had an unfavorable view of online learning during the pandemic. More than 75% of students in Nepal, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Algeria, and Ghana used mobile phones to access course material which brought challenges, such as the high cost of data bundles, unreliable network, and lack of adequate cellphone space to download the materials needed for class. Other than Poland, Romania, and United Arab Emirates, students from the rest of the countries reported unreliable internet access. Additional challenges reported include lack of prior experience with online learning, technical difficulties accessing materials online, high volume of assignments, poor communication between learners and educators, distractions from home environment, and lack of practical and clinical experience for students in medical schools. The findings from this systematic review could help administrators of higher education institutions acknowledge the online learning difficulties experienced by college students and prepare for future disruptions.

Full textAbstract:
The South African technical and vocational education and training (TVET) college sector faces amyriad development needs, including the academic, professional and motivational preparednessof college lecturers.1 While attention is being paid to dealing with challenges at colleges at themacro-level or systemic level, there appears to be less focus on the micro- level, that is, on lecturersor teachers and their day-to-day classroom challenges. This article reflects on a case study involvingTVET college lecturers who participated in a professional development programme that attemptedto incorporate principles of a humanising pedagogy in its design and delivery. Feedback wasobtained about the influence of the course on classroom practice shortly after the programme,and, again, two years later, it was elicited through a small-scale study of participant self-reflections.Qualitative data revealed that the participants had perceived a positive and potentiallytransformative influence on their practice, which they related to their exposure to the principles ofhumanising pedagogy. By revisiting and sharing what was learned in a study that preceded a newlecturer development policy and bringing into focus the principles of humanising pedagogy, wehope to inspire those in our university faculties who are currently designing qualifications forcollege lecturers. Our contention is that infusing these principles into new curricula could possiblycontribute to transforming this sector – one lecturer at a time.

Full textAbstract:
This article seeks to place the risk posed by escapees in perspective by presenting information on escapees from NSW gaols, based on a detailed record study of the 812 prisoners who escaped during the 6 year period, July 1983 to June 1989. Escapes from NSW gaols are a relatively rare occurrence. The majority of escapes (68.4%) occurred from within minimum security institutions. A further 12.3% of escapes refer to prisoners who fall to return on time from an unescorted temporary absence from the gaol, such as day/weekend leave, attendance at technical college or university, etc. Escapees tended to be younger, more likely to be serving sentences for property offences, more likely to be held in minimum security, more likely to have lower security classifications and less likely to be held on remand than prisoners in general. There is no particular point in their sentence when escapees are more likely to escape. While there are variations in patterns of escape or characteristics of escapees from year to year, there are no clear trends over time. The characteristics of escapees determined in this study suggest that reasons exist for escaping other than the presentation of the opportunity. More than one-quarter (28.6%) of the escapees were recaptured on either the day they escaped or the following day. Half (50%) of the escapees were recaptured within 8 days of their escape. The majority of escapees (74.2%) were not convicted of committing any offences whilst at large. Of those who were convicted, offences committed whilst at large are most commonly property offences (74.9%) such as break, enter and steal or larceny of a motor vehicle

Full textAbstract:
Gender inequalities handicap leadership structures in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges in South Africa. TVET women leaders’ gendered experiences are, first, intrinsically connected to both a professional career in TVET and family roles – the two being mutually inclusive – and can, secondly, be linked to three career pathways, namely learning, acquiring and performing leadership roles. Based on the relevant literature, the authors present a conceptual framework where themes include: such women leaders’ demographically influenced experiences; the stages in becoming a leader; gender-related notions and challenges; leadership contexts; and strategies for managing gendered experiences. Based on Maritz’s business coaching model, the framework contends with factors that may influence the current lack of women in TVET leadership. This article raises gender-related issues that are relevant to the entire TVET college sector, including current and future leaders, decision-makers and policy developers.

Full textAbstract:
Examination papers have until now received little attention in the field of document design. Although this theoretical framework and the domain of application may not be a perfect match, the principles of document design could have some heuristic value in the domain of assessment in education. The poor results of a group of South African technical college students from certain cultural and educational backgrounds merited an investigation into the diagnostic and remedial value of these principles. In this contribution examination papers are situated within a general model for problem-based text evaluation, representative of current thinking in document design. At a more specic level criteria for assessment in education are identied and validated as criteria for examination papers in particular. These criteria are mapped onto the textual elements of documents and represented in an evaluation matrix. The applicability of the matrix is demonstrated through the analysis of a selection of examples from national examination papers for career-oriented college subjects. It is suggested that any pretesting - text-focused, expert-focused or reader-focused - be preceded by thorough planning, taking cognizance of the macro-context of problem-based document design, valid micro-contextual criteria, and appropriate research methods. The outcomes should yield useful dividends at a practical as well as an academic level.

Full textAbstract:
Robert Hanbury Brown was born on 31 August 1916 in Aruvankadu, Nilgiri Hills, South India; he was the son of an Officer in the Indian Army, Col. Basil Hanbury Brown, and of Joyce Blaker. From the age of 3 years Hanbury was educated in England, initially at a School in Bexhill and then from the ages of 8 to 14 years at the Cottesmore Preparatory School in Hove, Sussex. In 1930 he entered Tonbridge School as a Judde scholar in classics. Hanbury's interests turned to science and technology, particularly electrical engineering, and after two years he decided that he would seek more appropriate education in a technical college. His decision was accelerated by the fact that after the divorce of his parents his mother had married Jack Lloyd, a wealthy stockbroker, who in 1932 vanished with all his money and thus Hanbury felt he should seek a career that would lead to his financial independence. For these reasons Hanbury decided to take an engineering course at Brighton Technical College studying for an external degree in the University of London. At the age of 19 he graduated with a first-class honours BSc, taking advanced electrical engineering and telegraphy and telephony. He then obtained a grant from East Sussex and in 1935 joined the postgraduate department at the City & Guilds, Imperial College. In 1936 he obtained the Diploma of Imperial College (DIC) for a thesis on oscillators He intended to continue his course for a PhD but a major turning point in his career occurred when he was interviewed during his first postgraduate year by Sir Henry Tizard FRS, Rector of Imperial College. Hanbury explained to Tizard that he was following up some original work by Van der Pol on oscillator circuits without inductance and hoped, ultimately, to combine an interest in radio with flying. In fact, Tizard had already challenged him about the amount of time he spent flying with the University of London Air Squadron. Tizard told Hanbury to see him again in a year's time and that he might then have a job for him. In fact, within three months Tizard accosted Hanbury and said he had an interesting research project in the Air Ministry for him. After an interview by R.A. (later Sir Robert) Watson-Watt (FRS 1941), Hanbury was offered a post at the Radio Research Board in Slough. His visit to Slough was brief; he was soon told to report to Bawdsey Manor in Suffolk, which he did on 15 August 1936. Thereby, unaware of what Tizard had in mind for him, Hanbury's career as one of the pioneers of radar began.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionSuboptimal electronic fetal heart rate monitoring (EFM) in labour using cardiotocography (CTG) has been identified as one of the most common causes of avoidable harm in maternity care. Training staff is a frequently proposed solution to reduce harm. However, current approaches to training are heterogeneous in content and format, making it difficult to assess effectiveness. Technological solutions, such as digital decision support, have not yet demonstrated improved outcomes. Effective improvement strategies require in-depth understanding of the technical and social mechanisms underpinning the EFM process. The aim of this study is to advance current knowledge of the types of errors, hazards and failure modes in the process of classifying, interpreting and responding to CTG traces. This study is part of a broader research programme aimed at developing and testing an intervention to improve intrapartum EFM.Methods and analysisThe study is organised into two workstreams. First, we will conduct observations and interviews in three UK maternity units to gain an in-depth understanding of how intrapartum EFM is performed in routine clinical practice. Data analysis will combine the insights of an ethnographic approach (focused on the social norms and interactions, values and meanings that appear to be linked with the process of EFM) with a systems thinking approach (focused on modelling processes, actors and their interactions). Second, we will use risk analysis techniques to develop a framework of the errors, hazards and failure modes that affect intrapartum EFM.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the West Midlands—South Birmingham Research Ethics Committee, reference number: 18/WM/0292. Dissemination will take the form of academic articles in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, along with tailored communication with various stakeholders in maternity care.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objectives Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at an increased risk of obesity and unhealthy eating behaviors. This study examined the feasibility of a virtual implementation of a nutrition intervention for adolescents with ASD, as well as feasibility of virtually assessing outcome measures, including anthropometric measures, dietary intake, and psychosocial determinants of dietary intake. Methods BALANCE (Bringing Adolescent Learners with Autism Nutrition and Culinary Education) is an 8-week theory-driven nutrition intervention for adolescents with ASD. The intervention is based on Social Cognitive Theory. Six groups of adolescents (n = 27; group size ranged 2–7) participated in the intervention and pre-/post-intervention assessments. Fidelity checklists included measures on attendance, participation, homework, fidelity, and technical difficulties. Feasibility of assessing outcome measures, including the Block Kids Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), a validated psychosocial survey, and height and weight, was evaluated on response rate, completion, and data quality. Results Mean lesson attendance was 88%, participation was 3.5 of 4, homework completion was 51.9%, fidelity was 98.9%, and prevalence of technical difficulties was 0.4 of 2 (no technical difficulties or minor difficulties for all lessons). Baseline response rate was 100% for all outcome measures, with 100% completion for the FFQ and 98.9% for the psychosocial survey. Post-intervention response rate was 92.6% for the FFQ and 96.3% for the psychosocial survey and anthropometric measures, with 100% completion for the FFQ and 99.5% for the psychosocial survey. Data quality was high for 88% of the matched FFQs and 100% of the psychosocial surveys. Conclusions Findings of the study suggest that a virtual implementation and evaluation of BALANCE was feasible, indicating that BALANCE may be implemented in virtual settings to reach diverse populations of adolescents with ASD. Future research is warranted to examine the impact of BALANCE on dietary behavior changes and obesity outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This is the third in a series of biographies entitled ‘Children of the Golden Age,’ the purpose of which is to describe the background and contributions of significant living figures in polar research who began their scientific careers following World War II. Born on 17 January 1921 in Melbourne, Gordon de Quetteville Robin was educated at Wesley College and the University of Melbourne, graduating in physics with an MSc in 1942. Following submarine training in Scotland, he served in HMS Stygian in the Pacific. Soon after commencing as a research student in nuclear physics at Birmingham University, he joined the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and was the first base commander at Signy Station in the South Orkney Islands (1947–48). In 1949–52 he was third-in-command on the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition responsible for the successful oversnow seismic ice thickness campaign. In 1958, following a brief sojourn in Canberra, he was appointed the first full-time director of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge. During the next 24 years he developed SPRI into a world-class research institute. In the austral summer 1959–60 he undertook research operating from RRS John Biscoe in the Weddell Sea into the penetration of ocean waves into pack ice. During the early 1960s he stimulated development of radio echo sounding (RES) with Dr Stan Evans, which remains the standard technique for ice-thickness measurement. He undertook experimental fieldwork in Northwest Greenland in 1964 and airborne sounding in Canada in 1966. He was responsible for organising international collaborative programmes of airborne RES in Antarctica with American air support, leading fieldwork in 1967–68, 1969–70, and 1974–75. He was elected secretary of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research in 1958, serving for 12 years, and was president between 1970 and 1974. In 1975 he developed with Dr Terence Armstrong a postgraduate course in Polar Studies at SPRI. He retired as director in 1982 and continues his interests in glaciology as a senior research associate at SPRI.
