学生相談機関における発達障害学生への支援に関する研究 ―甲南大学学生相談室2013年度・2014年度の実態調査より―

This study analyzed the quantitative data and some cases based on the results of the survey conducted at Konan University. This study was originally a part of an extensive survey funded by the scientific research fund and its aim was to investigate the actual state of the support for the students with developmental disorders that are offered by campus counseling services in four different universities. The results were as follows: in academic year of 2013 and 2014, 50 students with developmental disorders received specific supports from Konan University Student Counseling Room. The results of following items showed almost the same tendency in four universities; timing of starting the support, temporary or permanent leave from university, diagnosis and the time of diagnosis, subject of counseling or consultation, content of support, process of support . The support of Konan University were characteristic in following points; 1.A number of cooperative supports were offered. 2. According to the student＇s individual characteristics individual and group supports that aim to foster self-understanding were offered sensitively. However, the tendency of not encouraging the students to be diagnosed in early stage might be a certain risk of delay in offering supports to them. It can be said that this is an important issue to consider the future direction of support for students with developmental disorders

SLU-biblioteket

The SLU University Library is a vital support organisation for the university. The library is composed of two divisions: Scholarly Communication, and Research and Learning Support, respectively. Activities within the divisions are run in six teams. The Division of Scholarly Communication aims to provide a high quality research information infrastructure for the SLU. It comprises three teams: The Publishing Team, responsible for the area of electronic and open access publishing, and bibliometric analyses, The Information Resources Team, responsible for the area of information retrieval and maintenance, and the Metadata Team, responsible for a high quality metadata level in all library information services. The new publishing database, SLUpub, implemented during 2013, has been up and running for a year, presenting data for internal use as well as national evaluations. The university open archive is maintained by the Division of Scholarly Communication, and is constantly growing and much in demand, by researchers and external customers alike. A large number of bibliometric analyses have been performed for SLU use. The literature resources are constantly evaluated, to optimise the value for the university. In 2014 the library was involved in the development of a new database, TILDA, for filing and visualisation of SLU research data. The Division of Research and Learning Support comprises three teams: The Research Support Team, responsible for the integration of library services in the research process, the Learning Support Team, supporting teachers and students in the area of information literacy, and the Customer Services Team, supporting all customers in the library building, as well as on the web. A number of courses for research students have been arranged in the field of information retrieval and methods for scientific communication. The SLU University library has trained about 3000 students at Bachelor and Master levels during 2014. Web based learning platforms and customer services are constantly being tested and evaluated. One example is the library’s so called StudyLab, which offers workshops for students at all of our campuses, both IRL and in the form of video broadcasting. A number of seminars and other meetings with researchers and research groups have been arranged with the aim of strengthening publishing strategies and use of library services. In 2014, the library participated in an international project, Innovative Doctoral Education for Global Food Security, with the aim of improving the quality and capacity of doctoral education at Makerere University in Uganda. Our presence on Facebook and Twitter was strengthened in 2014, and our website has been made more accessible, with over a million visitors a year. The SLU University economic turnover for 2014 was about 63 million SEK, and the number of employees 44

The success and strength of the university libraries are due to motivated, keen and skillful people. Today collaboration and knowledge sharing play a crucial role both within and between organizations. Empowering people: Collaboration between Finnish and Namibian University Libraries is about people and collaboration in the context of human resource development at the University of Namibia Library. Empowering people provides both practice-oriented and research-based approaches to important themes in the field of university libraries. It covers the information seeking behaviour of academic staff and students, collection and research support services, information literacy education, scholarly communication and scientific publishing. Staff competence management and evidence-based librarianship are introduced as methods for coping in the changing environment. Empowering people is the outcome of collaboration between three university libraries, those of the University of Namibia, the University of Tampere and the University of Helsinki

Role and Opportunity of Library in the context of Open Science

The role of libraries on Open Science has been recognised and discussed at multiple fora and have been accepted publicly by international organisations and stakeholders. It is natural, as academic libraries are already supporting a knowledge sharing and build a common good. In Slovakia, the National Research Library plays a key role in open science movement as we work as the national body strategically coordinating open science issues accross Slovakia. We participated very actively in the bottom-up project, which is Slovak National strategy for Open Science adopted by the Slovak Government in 2021. The Strategy for years 2021 – 2028 sets commitments in the following areas: Open Access to Scientific Publications, Research Data Management and Sharing, Reinforcing Academic Community with the necessary skills and competences, Support to Research IT Infrastructure and Citizen Science (CS). Besides the national support researchers also need support at an individual practical level. In January 2022 the National Research Library introduced online Citizen Science course based on Moodle Platform. Users gain an insight into how to design CS project, how to find partners or information on data and ethics issues. We are committed to promoting not „only“ research information but overall scientific culture based on project-oriented action and networking. In cooperation with the Slovak University of Technology we opened a fablab, a digital manufacturing center and a space for design and production of physical objects via 3D printers or laser cutters, used by professionals (researchers), expert amateurs and general public. We change in nature and structure to meet our user needs through innovative services and practices. As a result, we increase the visibility and strengthen our role in the academic environment while keeping our users – researchers, academics and students – at the heart of all operations

Advancing Research Data Management in Universities of Science and Technology

The white paper ‘Advancing Research Data Management in Universities of Science and Technology’ shares insights on the state-of-the-art in research data management, and recommendations for advancement. A core part of the paper are the results of a survey, which was distributed to our member institutions in 2019 and addressed the following aspects of research data management (RDM): (i) the establishment of a RDM policy at the university; (ii) the provision of suitable RDM infrastructure and tools; and (iii) the establishment of RDM support services and trainings tailored to the requirements of science and technology disciplines. The paper reveals that while substantial progress has been made, there is still a long way to go when it comes to establishing “advanced-degree programmes at our major universities for the emerging field of data scientist”, as recommended in the seminal 2010 report ‘Riding the Wave’, and our white paper offers concrete recommendations and best practices for university leaders, researchers, operational staff, and policy makers. The topic of RDM has become a focal point in many scientific disciplines, in Europe and globally. The management and full utilisation of research data are now also at the top of the European agenda, as exemplified by Ursula von der Leyen addressat this year’s World Economic Forum.However, the implementation of RDM remains divergent across Europe. The white paper was written by a diverse team of RDM specialists, including data scientists and data stewards, with the work led by the RDM subgroup of our Task Force Open Science. The writing team included Angelina Kraft (Head of Lab Research Data Services at TIB, Leibniz University Hannover) who said: “The launch of RDM courses and teaching materials at universities of science and technology is a first important step to motivate people to manage their data. Furthermore, professors and PIs of all disciplines should actively support data management and motivate PhD students to publish their data in recognised digital repositories.” Another part of the writing team was Barbara Sanchez (Head of Centre for Research Data Management, TU Wien) and Malgorzata Goraczek (International Research Support / Data Management Support, TU Wien) who added:“A reliable research data infrastructure is a central component of any RDM service. In addition to the infrastructure, proper RDM is all about communication and cooperation. This includes bringing tools, infrastructures, staff and units together.” Alastair Dunning (Head of 4TU.ResearchData, Delft University of Technology), also one of the writers, added: “There is a popular misconception that better research data management only means faster and more efficient computers. In this white paper, we emphasise the role that training and a culture of good research data management must play.

Quality and Value in University Services: the Experience of the Placement Service at the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo"

none3Italian universities are going through a phase of strong competition to attract growing numbers of new undergraduates, which allows them to access related shares of public funds from the Ministry of University and Scientific Research. This urges the universities to pay attention not only to training quality, which is - together with research and scientific output - the core of the offer, but also to the design of innovative solutions in the field of peripheral services. Among them, the job placement service and connection with the world of work is the subject of increasing attention at several Italian universities. While companies and the labour market require direct contacts with the universities - delegated to act as qualified intermediaries of human resources - on the other hand, the same students expect not only education from university but also actions to guide them through the difficulties of access to employment and occupations. With placement service, universities have the opportunity to increase value provided to stakeholders, both in terms of broadening the number of services - adding peripheral activities to traditional ones – and in terms of support to the student beyond the obtainment of a degree. Value is a complex concept. In the field of service management it is defined as the gap between benefits and sacrifices perceived, related to the long term relationship between suppliers and clients and, more generally, between service companies and their stakeholders. Although the University holds the lead in organizing and designing the placement service, value is generated by all stakeholders - who benefit from positive network externalities proportional to the other stakeholders’ commitment. The placement service may be interpreted as an interface, a kind of relational infrastructure capable of maintaining and enhancing the stability of relationships, trust and collaboration between stakeholders. The University of Urbino Carlo Bo, students, businesses and local authorities create and receive value by belonging to the placement related network, each differently but interdependently. Value and quality are therefore strongly linked concepts: quality exists when internal and external customer expectations are met. The value derives from long-term comparison between benefits (functional, symbolic, temporal, economic, relational, psychological) and sacrifices connected to them. Quality, like value, depends not on only the offer, but also on demand behaviour. The offer plays a crucial role in understanding the stakeholders’ often unexpressed expectations and for designing, proposing, and delivering value through offer policies in line with demand expectations. This paper has a twofold objective: on the one hand to point out the concepts of quality and value, on the other hand to explain how university placement services can increase the value created for the various stakeholders of the University. For this purpose, we analyse the experience of the placement service of the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo" and the main initiatives set to bring together University students and companies looking for young people to hire. This study reveals that placement service at the University of Urbino is innovative in terms of organization and management. The involvement of all actors in design and implementation of the initiatives is a strategic factor, crucial for meeting the expectations of stakeholders, raising levels of quality and satisfaction and, ultimately, the value created. Although limited to only one case of placement – the University of Urbino, the research presents original features regarding the application of service management principles to an institution like the University, which is increasingly directed towards value creation for our stakeholders. This application appears necessary given that increased competition among universities is based not only on traditional core activities - research and training - but also on the ability to contribute to student employability after the obtainment of a degree.openTonino Pencarelli; Simone Splendiani; Daniela CiniPencarelli, Tonino; Simone, Splendiani; Daniela, Cin

INTEGRATION OF HUMMINGBIRD RESEARCH INTO PUBLIC SCHOOL SCIENCE

Hummingbirds are beautiful, acrobatic and mysterious synanthropes in urban ecosystems, providing important benefits to humans such as pollination, insectivory, and biophilia. However, environmental factors that affect behaviors that lead to such services are largely unknown, and could be altered by urbanization and climate change. Though their extremely high metabolism can make detailed observations of hummingbird behavior difficult, simple and low-cost methodologies, such as remote monitoring equipment deployed at feeders and nests, allow students at all levels of education to closely observe hummingbirds directly from their school sites. The Center for Urban Resilience (CURes) and the Center for Equity for English Learners (CEEL) at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) have partnered, to implement CURes urban ecology curricula Urban EcoLab in various Los Angeles area schools and classrooms. With support from the Daniel and Susan Gottlieb Foundation, internet protocol (IP) cameras have been installed as a key element in the curriculum that will allow participation in world wide hummingbird research in the classroom. Beyond enriching the understanding of how animals thrive in urban environments, we propose to develop a model that will facilitate the investigation of complex scientific questions through collaboration with citizen science and integration of the Urban EcoLab curricula into primary and secondary-level public school curricula.https://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/cures_posters/1022/thumbnail.jp
