Abstract:

I have been studying Economics of Enterprise for 4 years. It fascinates me from year to year more and more. And now I am the student of two universities: Sumy State University and Tianjin University of Science and Technology (TUST) (Tianjin, China). I have never been to China before so I have known nothing about this country. My first impression was good both about the country and about people with their traditions and customs.

Abstract:

This report details the development of a training program intended to teach instructional designers (IDs) and subject matter experts (SMEs) how to develop online courses. The training was developed for Utah Valley University's Aviation Science department in order to help meet a course production deadline. The development process follows the Diamond model and a variation on that model was used in producing the training course. Once the training had been developed and implemented, qualitative data was gathered from both IDs and SMEs to help evaluate the training. Additionally the development time and cost for each course was analyzed. The training was shown to have improved production time and in turn, reduce the cost of each course. However, the feedback from the SMEs and IDs indicated that while the training was informative, the use of animated video and narration was less helpful. The biggest improvement was seen to have come from the IDs own improved understanding and confidence in developing their courses.

Full text

Abstract:

Underserved students attending under-resourced schools experience limited opportunities to engage in advanced science. An exploration into the influence a supplemental science program has on underserved students’ acquisition of science knowledge and skills to increase their pursuit of science was conducted to help explain science identity formation in students. The proliferation of supplemental science programs have emerged as a result of limited exposure and resources in science for underserved students, thus prompting further investigation into the influence supplemental science programs have on underserved students interest and motivation in science, attainment of science knowledge and skills, and confidence in science to promote science identities in students. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, this study examined science identity formation in high school students participating in a university supplemental environmental health science program. The study explored high school students’ perceptions of their lived experiences in science supplemental activities, research, and field experiences and the influences these experiences have in relation to their science identity development. The university supplemental science program was an eight-week summer program in which students interacted with a diverse group of peers from various high schools, through engaging in environmental health science rotations, field experiences, and research with faculty advisors and graduate student mentors. Data collection included existing program evaluation data including, weekly journals and exit interviews, as well as follow-up interviews conducted several months after the program concluded. The study findings from a three step coding process of the follow-up interview transcripts provided six emerging themes as follows: (1) promoting interest and motivation to pursue new areas of science, (2) mechanisms in the acquisition of science knowledge and skills in scientific practice, (3) confidence in science knowledge and abilities, (4) understanding and applying science in the world, (5) emerging relationships with peers and mentors in science, and (6) aspirations to be a science person in the scientific community. This research study informs other supplemental science programs, has implications for improved science curricula and instruction in K12 schools, as well as explains how exposure to science experiences can help students gain identities in science.

XU, Zhendong. "Party controls in National Central University and Nanjing University before and after 1949." Digital Commons @ Lingnan University, 2008. https://commons.ln.edu.hk/pol_etd/5.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1898, with the foundation of the Metropolitan University of the Qing Dynasty (Jingshi da xuetang) in Beijing, the modern higher education system was established in China. After the Qing Dynasty, China has been ruled by two political parties before and after 1949: Kuomintang (KMT) dated from 1911 to 1949 and Chinese Communist Party (CCP)1 dated from 1949 to present. The history of Nanjing University (NJU) can be traced back to Sanjiang Normal School founded by the Qing government in 1902. The NJU witnessed the development of modern higher education in China. The Nanjing city used to be the capital of the KMT regime and National Central University (NCU) was under the control of the KMT. Nevertheless, today Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu province and NJU is under the control of the CCP. As commonly known, the KMT and the CCP followed different political systems. The political status of the city and the university has changed a lot. It is worthwhile to do a research on the party controls of the KMT over NCU and the CCP over NJU within a changeable century to find which political system benefit the university more. This thesis introduces and compares the party controls of the KMT over NCU and the CCP over NJU in chapter two (party controls over personnel) and chapter three (party controls over the whole university). Afterwards, chapter four discusses the continuum of the political controls from the Qing Dynasty, to the KMT and then to the CCP and chapter five gives a summary as the conclusion. It is commonly known that China has a long civilized history for more than five thousand years. Within this long period of time, China formed a traditional Chinese authoritarianism with a typical Confucian orientation and three related structural aspects, hierarchical system, paternalism and bureaucratic pattern. This traditional Chinese authoritarianism was widely accepted and adopted by all dynasties and political regimes in China. All the modern universities (including NCU and NJU) and political parties (including the KMT and the CCP) in China are influenced by this type of authoritarianism while they are at the same time influenced by the Soviet Union (mainly in party constructions of the KMT and the CCP) and western values (mainly in university affairs including university settings and university administrations) in the late days. So the traditional Chinese authoritarianism, Soviet Union influence and western values are the three most important backgrounds in the party controls of the KMT over NCU and the CCP over NJU. Based on the analysis of this thesis, there is a continuum underlying the political controls of Qing Dynasty, the KMT and the CCP. It is found that the traditional Chinese authoritarianism is the dominant element in this continuum. Both the party controls of the KMT and the CCP have the characteristics of a typical Chinese Confucian orientation with its hierarchical structure, paternalism and bureaucratic pattern.

Marple, Amanda. "Democratizing University Foodscapes? Student Food Cooperatives and the Neoliberal University." Thesis, West Virginia University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10752427.

Full text

Abstract:

According to a report published in 2015, the National Center for Education estimated that over 20 million students were forecasted to enroll in higher education in the 2016–17 school year, situating American universities as major institutional food retailers. Over the past two decades, corporate food providers have increasingly sought long-term public and private university contracts as a means to expand their reach into lucrative campus food landscapes (foodscapes), replacing in-house services with cheaper, more “efficient, and “productive” dining strategies. Companies such as Sodexo, Aramark, and Bon Appetit control the foodscapes of many university campuses across the United States, creating food environments dominated by corporate interests.

However, at the same time these corporate food service providers have colonized university food terrains, a growing movement of consumers concerned with ethical food sourcing have driven students across the United States to seek alternatives to dominant food sourcing strategies on their campuses. In a context of increased corporate control over their university foodscapes, student across the US have launched campaigns aiming to develop and establish student food cooperatives (SFCs), organizations seeking to assert the availability of sustainable, ethical, and healthy food options on campus in addition to pushing for more student decision-making power within their university food environments (Marsden, 2000).

It is within this context that my thesis aims to explore if and how student food cooperatives are creating new spaces for food sovereignty and if they are democratizing the control over their university food systems through campus based food initiatives.

Abstract:

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master Of Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies at the University Of Zululand, 2018
The study examined the perceptions of University of Zululand academic staff members towards adopting Science Shops. Science Shops represent a participatory action research programme which began in the Netherlands and introduced to the University of Zululand with a view to enhancing the university-community relationships. The study specifically focused on the academic staff members who participated in the NUFFIC training programme that gave birth to the idea of Science Shops. NUFFIC is a Dutch acronym of The Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education - translated into English. The study used a qualitative research approach to explore the perceptions of academic staff about SSs. Qualitative research techniques were adopted for the study. A semi-structured questionnaire with open-ended questions was designed and used to obtain information from the ten (10) academic staff members who participated in the study. Focus group interviews were also conducted with the participants as a way of seeking additional information which was not covered in the questionnaire. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the participants from the four (4) Faculties at the participating institution, namely Faculties of Arts, Commerce, Administration and Law (CAL), Education, and Science and Agriculture. Overall, results revealed that the participants perceived Science Shops as an important programme that merited adoption and integration into the University curriculum. The majority of the participants also believed that Science Shops had the potential to restructure the University for relevance (as its motto goes), in teaching, research and community service. Furthermore, Science Shops were seen as a possible means to generate alternative income for the University. However, some challenges were highlighted by the participants which they saw as needing attention before the Science Shop concept could fall on fertile ground. These challenges included the overpopulated classrooms, inadequate knowledge and orientation about community engagement research, and the nature of research in the Science Faculty which appeared not to be amenable to community participation.

Full text

Abstract:

The quality and attributes of the learning achieved by the use of technological tools such as computer aided learning programs (CAL) or web-based packages are difficult aspects to evaluate effectively. Learning technology should fulfill the needs of the student users as well as achieve the pedagogical goals of the teachers. Excellence in this context ideally should comprise not only a high quality product in technical terms, but also one that fulfills the learning aspirations for which the product was designed. In the past, evaluation of technologically delivered learning has focused more on the quantity of knowledge transferred than the quality. Recently a number of evaluation tools or packages have been devised in the search for something that will provide information for teachers using technological teaching aids, regarding not only how much their students have learned, but also what depth and type of knowledge they have gained. An ideal evaluation process in this context might be expected to combine the efficiency of a quantitative method with the richness of qualitative information, but should also be easy to use and, importantly, easy for the teacher to interpret in terms of improving their students' learning experience. Such an evaluation package should also be responsive to the needs of the users, rather than simply imposing an objective ideal of quality derived from externally imposed standards. This report details the development of an evaluation method based on the premise that the most effective learning experience will be achieved when a technological tool is designed to align most closely with the pedagogical requirements of the clients, both teachers and students. The study sought to establish whether such a correlation could be identified and expressed in a format the academic client could easily comprehend. The evaluation method was designed specifically for university level teaching, and trialed in undergraduate science units. The evaluation process was trialed with three successive CAL programs in order to develop the method, with modifications being made to the evaluation process after each trial. The modifications to the evaluation process were based on critical reflection of the effectiveness of the previous evaluation cycle. The evaluation reports produced for this study were used diagnostically to pinpoint factors with the potential to reduce the effectiveness of the learning experience. Recommendations for improved implementation resulted :from negotiation with the academic clients regarding the areas of conflict highlighted by the evaluation. In order to express the learning quality and characteristics of CAL programs, the Pedagogical Dimensions profile developed by Reeves (1994) was adopted as a framework. The profile consists of a semantic differential scale for each of fourteen pedagogical dimensions. Amendments to the Reeves scheme were considered desirable to allow improved function in this context and such amendments have been proposed. The evaluation process was designed to facilitate comparison of the pedagogical characteristics of courseware with the pedagogical needs of the stakeholders, in this case the lecturers and students using the program. The intention was to determine the degree of correlation between stakeholders' requirements and courseware characteristics in order to establish the programs' fitness-for-purpose, in terms of pedagogical characteristics. Based on surveys and interviews, pedagogical profiles of both lecturers' and students' perceptions were prepared and compared with a profile of the learning software prepared by a panel of reviewers. The resulting comparison of profiles was intended to evaluate the appropriateness of the programs' learning attributes, rather than to measure quality. As such, it should be viewed as a means of employing a program to the best advantage, by maximising the effectiveness of the learning experience. Each dimension was examined for congruence or dissonance between the results of the three profiles (student, academic and courseware). Courseware was considered suitable in the relevant context if the profiles exhibited congruent results. Dissonant dimensions were drawn to the attention of the academic, in order to negotiate a means of effecting improvement. Having critically assessed the evaluation process it was noted that the pedagogical dimension profile functioned very effectively as the foundation for an evaluation process designed to determine learning effectiveness of CAL programs. However, certain aspects of the pedagogical dimensions were found to be less than ideal and critical examination of these aspects led to proposals for changes to the profile in order to improve its capacity to serve as an evaluation tool. In order to clarify the profile results to permit easy interpretation, the dimensions of the profile were rearranged into several broad groups. This modification of the array was justified by increased convenience for the user, and improvements to the theoretical grounding. The clusters to be employed (Hannafin, 1997) were as follows: psychological, pedagogical, technological, cultural and pragmatic. It was considered that alteration of several existing dimensions and inclusion of some additional dimensions would facilitate application of the profile. A new dimension of Curriculum integration was devised to recognise the capacity to link computer learning with existing teaching programs. The need for reflective learning was recognised by including a new dimension called cognition type, while the students' capability to manipulate and interact with the program was reflected in a new dimension called interactiveness. Revised names were proposed for several dimensions including Engagement instead of Motivation, Informative feedback rather than Value of Errors, and Program modifiability for Flexibility. A modification was proposed for the Underlying psychology dimension in an attempt to better define a continuum of perspectives. The modifications were applied to a case study and elicited a more informative and diagnostically useful report than the original method. An effective evaluation method has been designed and tested, which facilitated the diagnostic assessment of courseware in the context of a unit of study. Alterations to the application of the courseware in practice were found to improve student acceptance of the programs. A modified profile was designed and applied, and found to be even more accessible and useful for academic clients.

Abstract:

The focus of this research was to evaluate if differences exist in the racial identity profiles and perceptions of scientists held by 48 Black college students majoring in science (n = 17) and non-science (n = 31) fields. The study was conducted at a large, pre-dominantly White university located in the south. All participants completed the Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS) and Draw-a-Scientist Test (DAST); measures used to assess six subscales of individuals? racial identity development (RID) and 16 stereotypical conceptions of scientists respectively. Fourteen volunteers also completed one-on-one interviews with the researcher to discuss information that would elucidate their responses to survey instruments. Findings from the CRIS revealed that significant differences did not exist in the science majors? and non-science majors? racial identity profiles. Both groups expressed strongest agreement with views reflected in Internalization Multiculturalist Inclusive (IMCI) and Pre-Encounter Miseducation (PM) subscales. Conversely, the science majors and non-science majors exhibited least agreement with attitudes depicted in Immersion ? Emersion Anti-White (IEAW) and Pre-Encounter Self-Hatred (PSH) subscales. Results from the DAST demonstrated that both groups illustrated similar perceptions of scientists as observed by an average of four of the 16 stereotypes expressed in their images.

Full text

Abstract:

Software piracy has been an ongoing issue for decades and it has a tremendous economic impact on software business. Software piracy seems to be especially common among young people, who often are technologically oriented and happen to be students. The purpose of this study was to map out what kind of a role software piracy plays among the students of the University of Oulu. The goal was also to find out how common software piracy is and how the software piracy rates differ among different subpopulations as well as finding out the reasons for software piracy. The study was of quantitative nature and a survey was conducted in order to gather data. In addition, a conceptual model was proposed and its purpose was to map out which factors influence the attitudes and intentions regarding pirating software, and the questions of the survey were partly based on the conceptual model. The aforementioned survey was distributed to the students of the University of Oulu as an online link via email. This study examined and compared the demographic factors as well as the reasons and purposes behind software piracy. The results of this study indicate that age and gender have statistical significance with software piracy. When it came to reasons, expensiveness was the most significant reason, which was in line with previous literature. The study also investigated the views of university students regarding software piracy. The connections in the conceptual model were explored as well: the factors presented in the conceptual model were found to be correlated although the strength of the correlation varied greatly. In addition, all of the connections in the model had statistical significance.

Abstract:

The present empirical study deals with the question of the (world) view of mathematics (i.e. the image of mathematics) held by university mathematics teachers in countries of German as a first lan-guage. The basis of this study is a voluntary survey by means of a closed questionnaire of 119 persons during an annual meeting of mathematicians. This questionnaire was on the whole employed for two other studies on mathematics teachers (N= 300) and pupils (N=1650). Four to five dimensions were defined by means of factor analysis and subsequently verified as relevant dimensions of the view of mathematics. These dimensions can be called the formalism aspect, the schema aspect, the process aspect, the application aspect and the Platonism aspect of mathematics. Attitudes towards these aspects differ on average, so that the "average" view of mathematics of university teachers is clearly accentuated in these five aspects. The process aspect acclaims the highest agreement, whereby the aspects formalism and application claim an average to above average assessment. In contrast, the Platonic aspect receives only weak to very weak agreement, and the schema aspect is on the whole rejected. Furthermore the structure of the view of mathematics resulting out of the relations between the dimensions is investigated. The part of the view of mathematics that is considered here contains two different viewpoints in content, namely the static view of mathematics as a system and the dynamic view of mathematics as a process. In contrast to the observa-tions in the other two populations the two viewpoints are not opposites. Mathematics is in the view of university teachers a comple-mentary toge-therness of both viewpoints. Their view of mathematics is insofar broader differentiated than the two other populations.

Full text

Abstract:

In light of the increasingly complex sustainability problems facing local and global communities, and the need to improve the scientific basis for decision making, sustainability science elevates the role of research collaborations and communication among scientists and stakeholders in developing solutions. Although many universities are heeding the calls for collaborative research and are making progress on bringing diverse groups together to address sustainability issues, disconnections between the production of knowledge and its actual use in society persist. These persistent divisions indicate that we still have a great deal to learn about how to develop university-stakeholder partnerships that facilitate collaboration between the various actors in society.

Building successful, enduring research partnerships is essential for improving links between knowledge and action. The overarching question addressed in this dissertation is: "In the quest to develop sustainable solutions, what factors may strengthen or hinder the development of robust stakeholder-university research partnerships?" In answering this question, I interrogate the role of communication in partnership development, the influence of communication practices on stakeholder and researcher interactions, and ways that we can use interdisciplinary forms of and approaches to research to improve communication with partners. The goal of this research is to improve university and community capacity for collaborative, problem-focused research to address pressing societal problems.

Using quantitative and qualitative survey data from the Maine Municipal Official Survey and the Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement Survey, each chapter addresses the overarching research question in different ways. In the first and second chapters, I develop theoretically and empirically supported statistical models to identify a set of factors influencing officials' reported interest in developing a community-university research partnership and factors influencing officials' participation preferences in community-university research partnerships, respectively. The models strengthen the capacity for co-learning by providing data on interest and preference alignment between potential project partners, and they provide data on stakeholder preferences and experiences that may improve communication between partners and inform partnership interactions. The third chapter bridges interdisciplinary theories from social psychology and communication to deepen the conversation about justice in community-university research partnerships. The dissertation concludes with lessons learned about developing community-university research partnerships.

Abstract:

In-forest teaching is a vital element of forest science education at university level, and university forests play a critical role in this. In Japan, the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) owns the oldest university forest, which was established in 1894. This paper outlines how the University of Tokyo Forests (UTF) provide in-forest education for forest science. The UTF consist of seven branch stations with a total area of over 32,000 ha. Third- and fourth-year undergraduate students majoring in forest science attend field courses in these forests. Same undergraduate and graduate students are affiliated with the UTF, where they conduct field studies for their graduate theses. Since 2005, the UTF have expanded their educational activities by offering university-wide hands-on experience seminars with field experience for first- and second-year undergraduate students, although these courses are open to all students studying at UTokyo.

Abstract:

The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) is one of the leading Asian universities. The University of Tokyo Forests (UTF) was established in 1894 as the first university forest in Asia. To date, UTF owns seven forests and has accumulated long-term data regarding forest ecosystems, conifer plantations, and selection cutting with natural regeneration, in addition to data regarding meteorology and hydrology. In terms of quantity and quality, this longitudinal dataset is among the best available in the world of forest science. A teaching staff of 26 people belongs to UTF. The advantages of studying under the supervision of UTF staff members are as follows. First, students have the opportunity to gain broad disciplinary knowledge from the 26 members of the teaching staff. Second, they can use UTF as a context for their research fieldwork, relying on good research facilities supported by a 50-strong technical staff. Third, they can utilize longitudinal data accumulated by UTF over a period of more than 100 years. Students from at least ten countries have been supervised at UTF. Students are selected, in particular, from China, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. UTF has also provided fieldwork classes for students of foreign universities, such as Universiti Malaysia Sabah and the National Taiwan University. These students gain experience in disciplines such as forest vegetation and forest management, where Japanese practice differs from that of their own countries. Students can stay at UTF lodges for a modest fee. Students from European universities are also welcome to undertake fieldwork courses at UTF. We accept interns from overseas. Recently, interns from European universities have been increasing in number. The unique culture of Japan - with its traditional features and more modern ones, like the Japanese comics manga - are fascinating to European students. UTF provides the best environment for forest education in Asia.

Abstract:

The University of Huddersfield Press, re-launched in 2010, is an open access publisher of peer reviewed journals, monographs and sound recordings. The research to inform this thesis was conducted between 2011 and 2015. The primary research question of this thesis and accompanying business plan is to demonstrate how the University of Huddersfield Press can establish a viable and innovative business model. Subsidiary research questions are to establish how the output of the Press will contribute to and enhance the University’s strategic objectives and to indicate how the Press, as an open access publisher, can contribute to the world of scholarly communication by increasing the literature on New University Presses. As such, a number of chapters have been published as journal articles. The thesis introduces the University of Huddersfield Press before setting out the motivation, background and focus of the study. The rise of New University Presses (NUPs), the open access movement, the role of the repository and the library as publisher are examined and placed in context to the Press. The four cases studies included in this thesis are not multiple case studies, rather they are embedded units of analysis in a single practice based case study, which allows the reader to follow a number of different reading paths. The case studies use observation, in depth investigations and a personal account of the author’s work in developing the Press, which will give new insight into open access publishing by NUPs. The first case study presents data and findings regarding the Press monograph publishing imitative. It draws on external literature and reflections of experience of the Press in order to derive lessons for best practice on future management of the Press. The second case study takes an in depth look at journal publishing within the Press. It looks at how the Huddersfield Open Access Publishing (HOAP) Project was used to launch a number of successful journals using the institutional repository and has helped to build the reputation of the Press in the University and wider community. Lessons learned are examined in order to recommend a more sustainable future for the Press. The third case study involves one of the journals to be published by the Press, Fields: journal of Huddersfield student research. It outlines the rationale for Fields in an institutional context, including the process of setting up an online, open access, multidisciplinary journal for student research. Year one of the project, which saw the journal go from proposal to fully fledged publication, is analysed and lessons learned are discussed. The final case study investigates Huddersfield Contemporary Records (HCR) and presents a case study of music publishing within the University. This case study stands independently and therefore begins with a review of the literature specifically on music industry issues pertinent to HCR. The case study includes a suggested business model and workflow for future releases. The thesis analyses the results and findings from the case studies in order to suggest a viable and innovative business model for the Press. This addresses questions of sustainability, arising from the case studies. The thesis develops Hahn’s programme and publication level business planning in library publishing before providing evidence of the reputational value of the Press to the University of Huddersfield. This is practically demonstrated in the Business Plan, which outlines the future for the Press for the next five years. The accompanying business plan will help to shape future thinking regarding this form of publishing.

Abstract:

This study explored the use of reflection as a professional developmental strategy to facilitate improvement of tangible classroom behaviors among novice university science faculty. Specifically, the study addressed the following questions: How did the novice college instructors perceive the reflection experiences to impact their teaching practice? During the progression of reflection experiences, in which teaching practices did the instructors? performances change? How? A mixed method approach was employed in answering the aforementioned questions. The participants? responses in semi-structured interviews and informal discussions, their written responses to reflective prompts, and the researcher?s observations of their teaching were qualitatively analyzed for themes. Students? responses to a survey about the participants? instruction were analyzed quantitatively. Findings revealed that the participants developed self awareness and exhibited cognition-induced behavioral change consistent with their developmental goals. Findings also suggested that participation in the study facilitated development of cognitions supportive of sustained reform in instructional practice and bridging of gaps within participants? pedagogical content knowledge.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to address the under-researched theme of achievement among students in a post 1992 university in the UK. The findings are based on a case study of a cohort of first year (FY) undergraduates in a science department in a post 1992 university. Three key research approaches were deployed within this case study, namely, grounded theory, phenomenography and survey research. These three distinctive approaches have been framed within a broad interpretivist perspective in which subjectivity is managed through researcher positionality and the triangulation of data where appropriate. The research findings demonstrate that the point of registration at higher education (HE) institutions does not constitute a successful student because such a constitution is a process of becoming, involving complex meaning-making processes over time. These processes are characterised by a movement from 'outsider and potential achiever' to 'insider and reflexive achiever'. Important phases within this movement are those of: attending; being engaged and solving self-identified difficulties. In the light of the evidence gathered and the review of the existing scholarship, a detailed exploration and theorisation of these phases is offered. The preoccupation with students who fail in some way has led to a lack of research into those who succeed. This research has sought to overcome this lack by exploring the active meaning-making processes that lead undergraduates to achieve. A dynamic is identified between students' reflexive management of their FY experience and aspirations to achieve and the institutional context. This dynamic is also held to undermine the notion of students as customers awaiting satisfaction, suggesting instead that students be regarded as reflexive actors in the shaping of undergraduate achievement. This study presents a novel alternative to the prevalent deficit model in the relevant research which tends to treat students as passive bearers of diverse levels of readiness for undergraduate study. It also offers an alternative to the prevailing research on why students fail to progress or stay at university.

Test 1. Nilegrass (Acroceras macrum) is a perennial forage grass. There were five different germplasms of nilegrass such as AC14, AC26, AC29, AC30 and AC32 involved in the experiment and Nilegrass Taishi No.1 (AC15) was used as check variety. The aim was to explore the agronomic traits, dry matter weight and forage quality of above nilegrass lines. It was tested in Naipu, Pingtung from 2001 to 2003 by cutting every eight weeks. The result showed that dry matter weight (DMW) was the highest with 7.8 Mt/ha/cut in summer and lowest with 3.6 Mt/ha/cut in winter. And with 4.7 Mt/ha/cut and 5.5 Mt/ha/cut in spring and fall were not different（P>0.05）. It showed that crude protein (CP) was the highest with 11.2 % in winter, next CP with 10% and 9.6 % in spring and summer, respectively and the lowest with 8.9 % in fall. Acid detergent fiber (ADF) was the largest with 38 % in fall and the smallest with 32.4 % in winter. It was not different of ADF between fall and summer（P>0.05）. The contents of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were the highest with 66.4 % in fall and the orders of the other seasons similar with those in ADF. The toppest leaf collar height and plant height were 68 and 80 cm in summer and 34 and 48 cm in winter, respectively. It was not different of the leaf number of nilegrass among four seasons. Brown leaf rate was the highest with 36.1 % in fall and the lowest with 21.0 % in winter. It can be shown that the brown leaf rate lower the forage quality better. The dry matter rates average about 22 % were not different among four seasons too（P>0.05）. Lines AC15 and AC30 both had the highest DMW with 6.5 Mt/ha/cut. Lines AC14 was 5.7 Mt/ha/cut and the others were lower. It indicated that AC30 and AC32 had the highest contents both with 10.2 % and the other lines were lower but not different（P>0.05）. The content of ADF of AC14 was 34.6 % the lowest and those of the other lines were higher but not different each other（P>0.05）. The contents of NDF of AC30 and AC14 were 63.4 % and 63 % the lowest among 6 lines. AC15 had the largest toppest leaf collar height (TLH) and plant height (PH) with 56 cm and 71 cm respectively. In contrast, AC14 had the lowest TLH and PH wit 43 cm and 59 cm respectively. The line of AC32 had the highest brown leaf rate with 30.3% and AC14 had the lowest with 22 %. However, the brown leaf rates of AC30 and AC15 with 26.7 % and 26.4 % were moderate among six lines. From above mentioned results, it indicated that AC30 could be a better line with higher forage yield, higher crude protein, moderate acid and neutral detergent fibers and relative feeding value. AC30 line also can provide the breeders as the breeding materials and be released as an elite variety for farmer to grow to feed the dairy cows or goats. Test 2. Nilegrass (Acroceras macrum Stapf ) is a C3 type plant with perennial habit. It can be made hay and silage as forage for livestock. The objectives of this thesis were to study the affects on agronomic traits, dry matter weight, (DMW), crude protein (CP), acid (ADF) and neutral (NDF) detergent fibers and relative feeding value (RFV) of Nilegrass Taishi No.1 under four different seasons and five cuts. The treatments of five cuts of nilegrass were growing at 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks. The result showed it was highly significantly different among four seasons and five cuts on the agronomic traits including plant height, the toppest and brown leaf collar heights, green and brown leaf numbers, DMW, CP, ADF. NDF and RFV which were also significantly affected by the interactions of seasons × cuts. The whole year’s data were combined to compute by statistic. The result showed that Nilegrass Taishi No. 1 was the highest with 6.1 Mt/ha/cut in summer, DMW of and next 4.8 Mt/ha/cut in Fall, and next 4.1 Mt/ha/cut in spring, It was the lowest with 2.4 Mt/ha/cut in winter. However it had the lowest crude protein 9.0 % in summer and the highest crude protein 15.7 % in winter. ADF and NDF were the highest with 36.8 % and 65.3 % in summer and the lowest with 28.7 % and 52.6 % in winter. RFV was the lowest with 109 in summer and the lowest with 150 in winter. From above-mentioned results. It indicated that Nilegrass Taishi No.1 had the highest DMW but lower forage quality in summer and oppositely in winter. Further, it showed that DMW was the highest with 7 Mt/ha/cut and CP 7.4 % was the lowest when harvest at 12 weeks after cutting. but DMW 4.4 Mt/ha/cut, CP 9.7 % and RFV 116 at 8 weeks after cutting. Obviously, the forage production and forage quality were highly significant different among different cutting stages. The DMW, ADF, NDF increased with growth weeks advanced. The CP and RFV decreased as the cutting was delayed. The highly significantly positive correlations were observed between toppest leaf collar height (TLH), plant height (PH), brown leaf collar height (BLH), DMW, ADF and NDF. However, CP was highly significantly negative correlated with each above-mentioned traits. Besides, stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted by using DMW, CP, ADF, NDF and RFV as dependent variables. A quantitative measurement of the order of importance of the variables entering the equations was shown by increasing in R2 for each independent variable. It indicated that PH entered the equation first when DMW and CP were used as dependent variables. The contributions of TLH to ADF, NDF and RFV were all the greatest in three equations. The correlation coefficient was 0.97 highly significantly positive between TLH and PH. The error of mean square of TLH was 63.48 lower than that of PH. It indicated that TLH had higher stability. Therefore, it was suggested that toppest leaf collar height could be used as an index trait to evaluate the forage production and quality of Nilegrass Taishi No.1. According to different seasons, Nilegrass Taish No.1 produced DMW 6.5 Mt/ha/cut with CP 9.4 % and RFV 103 when TLH reached 68 cm about growing 10 weeks in spring. And it produced DMW 5.3 Mt/ha/cut with CP 8.5 % and RFV 113 when TLH reached 63cm about growing 6 week in summer, while it produced DMW 6.1 Mt/ha/cut with CP 8.5 % and RFV 113 when TLH reached 61 cm about growing 8 weeks in fall. However, when it cut at 12 week in winter. Taishi No.1 had toppest leaf collar height only 44 cm, DMW 5 Mt/ha/cut, CP 10 %, ADF, NDF, and RFV 143 which still were good quality. Therefore, it maybe cut later and will get more production and still get good quality in winter.

Abstract:

In this dissertation I explore the nature of an internship for high school students in a university science laboratory and the issues that arise from it. The investigation of science internships is relatively new to science education; therefore, this exploration is urgently needed. Twenty-one participants were involved in the internship experience, including 13 students, one teacher, two research scientists, and five technicians. Data sources include observations, field notes, and videotapes. Drawing on four coherent and complementary research tools—cultural-historical activity theory, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and phenomenography, I articulate a variety of phenomena from multiple perspectives. The phenomena identified in the dissertation include (a) the discursive resources deployed by a teacher for interesting and inviting students to participate in science; (b) the discursive resources high school students used for articulating their interests in science-related careers; (c) the natural pedagogical conversations for accomplishing the work of teaching and learning during the internship; (d) the theoretical concepts mobilized for describing the unfolding of science expertise in the internship; (e) participants’ ways of experiencing the science internship; and (f) students’ understandings of scientific practice after participating in the internship. The study identifies many useful resources for understanding the nature of the science internship and provides a foundation for future research. The findings reported here will also serve others as a springboard for establishing partnerships between high schools and science communities and improving teaching and learning in science education.

Reducing the noise from infrared image will be one of the method that influence the result of the measurement. Using three kinds of deep learning structure to reconstruct image that reduce periodic noise in infrared image, three kinds of model separately are DNCNN, SWIRCNN-A(model A) and SWIRCNN-B(model B). First DNCNN is general used as a denoiser, this deep learning structure model improves origin noisily image form PSNR 19.10 dB to 25.71 db. In this research the model SWIRCNN-A change the last three block by slowly decline the depth from 64 to 1 in three CNN layer, different form DNCNN this structure decline the depth straight from 64 to 1 in an CNN layer. By using the method slowly decline the depth, the image PSNR improve from 25.71 dB to 25.90 db. This structure not only improve the capability of reducing periodic noise but also reduce the processing time. Compare to DNCNN the processing time reduce 1.064 second by denoising 500 noise image which size are 256*256 pixel, that mean if the structure used in an infrared camera, it’s FPS will maintain at 50 image per second. SWIRCNN-A structure also has better stabilizing in convergence loss. Both DNCNN and SWIRCNN-A has the same problem on denoising solid color region, by add three more “Block” which in include three algorithms are Convolution layer, Relu activity function and Batch normalization. Here come the last structure SWIRCNN-B, compare to DNCNN result PSNR improve from 25.71 dB to 26.40 dB, it’s mean SWIRCNN-B has 4.89 times denoising capability then DNCNN. This research develops a deep learning structure that can embed in a NIR camera, not only remove periodic noise form infrared image, and the camera FPS can reach 40 to 50 FPS.
