The role of work-integrated learning in the development of entrepreneurs
This study explored the ways that work-integrated learning (WIL) influences the development of entrepreneurs.
Seven alumni from Canada and the United Kingdom, who experienced differing forms of WIL during their degree,
participated in qualitative in-depth interviews and provided rich pictures. A rich picture is a pictorial
representation of a situation, including what happened, who was involved, how the participant perceived the
situation. During the interviews, participants reflected on how WIL impacted their career and they created rich
pictures to depict their perception of an entrepreneur and what influenced them to become an entrepreneur.
Several important themes emerged and included seizing opportunities, thinking “outside the box,” being resilient
during difficult times, and the importance of networks. The influence of WIL was important for all participants
and provided the framework of support that enabled the participants to manage difficult times and turn disruption
into opportunity
Solar neutrino measurements using the full data period of Super-Kamiokande-IV
International audienceAn analysis of solar neutrino data from the fourth phase of Super-Kamiokande~(SK-IV) from October 2008 to May 2018 is performed and the results are presented. The observation time of the data set of SK-IV corresponds to ~days and the total live time for all four phases is ~days. For more precise solar neutrino measurements, several improvements are applied in this analysis: lowering the data acquisition threshold in May 2015, further reduction of the spallation background using neutron clustering events, precise energy reconstruction considering the time variation of the PMT gain. The observed number of solar neutrino events in --~MeV electron kinetic energy region during SK-IV is events. Corresponding solar neutrino flux is , assuming a pure electron-neutrino flavor component without neutrino oscillations. The flux combined with all SK phases up to SK-IV is . Based on the neutrino oscillation analysis from all solar experiments, including the SK ~days data set, the best-fit neutrino oscillation parameters are and , with a deviation of about 1.5 from the parameter obtained by KamLAND. The best-fit neutrino oscillation parameters obtained from all solar experiments and KamLAND are and
