AbstractThe objective of the study presented here was to determine the socio-cultural factors that enhanced the use and transfer of scientific information among agricultural scientists in south eastern Nigeria. The implications of some of these factors for agricultural development are highlighted.Structured questionnaires were distributed to a stratified random sample of 300 scientists. Two hundred and ten (210) questionnaires were mailed while 90 were self-administered. Two hundred and forty-five (81·6%) usable responses were received and analysed. Data were also generated from interviews with selected members of the stratified random sample. Analyses focused on social and cultural factors of (1) motivation, (2) computer appreciation, (3) choice of media for research communication, (4) recipients of research communications, and (5) scientists' activities considered for assessment and reward. Frequency counts were the presentation techniques used to elucidate results.Results showed that scientists were motivated more in the use and transfer of scientific information by social factors of self-development (53·3%) and job security (12·9%) than by social factors of scientific problem solution (19·6%) and intellectual contribution (12·6%).Cultural factors of development in information technology (36·8%), adequate and relevant information resources (12·6%) and previous information attitudes (24·5%) also influenced scientists. Although five types of recipient groups of research communications were identified, the study noted that there was a disproportionately inadequate diffusion of research communications to two important groups of “national planners” and “external aid bodies”, who plan and finance agricultural development. Only 5% of scientists sent research communications to national planners and only 3·7% of scientists sent research communications to external aid bodies.Strategies for assessing other quantifiable elements of productivity by scientists outside journal publications and for diffusing adequate scientific information to national planners and external aid bodies are deemed necessary. 相似文献

ABSTRACTSprint cycling performance depends upon the balance between muscle and drag forces. This study assessed the influence of upper body position on muscle forces and aerodynamics during seated sprint cycling. Thirteen competitive cyclists attended two sessions. The first session was used to determine handlebar positions to achieve pre-determined hip flexion angles (70–110° in 10° increments) using dynamic bicycle fitting. In the second session, full body kinematics and pedal forces were recorded throughout 2x6-s seated sprints at the pre-determined handlebar positions, and frontal plane images were used to determine the projected frontal area. Leg work, joint work, muscle forces and frontal area were compared at three upper body positions, being optimum (maximum leg work), optimal+10° and optimal-10° of hip flexion. Larger hip (p = 0.01–0.02) and reduced knee (p = 0.02–0.03) contribution to leg work were observed at the optimal+10° position without changes at the ankle joint (p = 0.39). No differences were observed in peak muscle forces across the three body positions (p = 0.06–0.48). Frontal area was reduced at optimum+10° of hip flexion when compared to optimum (p = 0.02) and optimum-10° (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that large changes in upper body position can influence aerodynamics and alter contributions from the knee and hip joints, without influencing peak muscle forces. 相似文献

Our study determined the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on teachers' attitudes, concerns and sentiments about inclusive education while controlling for teachers' professional-related factors. This is predicated on the increasing influence of EI on teacher effectiveness. The sample size consisted of 508 regular classroom teachers. Using hierarchical regression analysis, our findings revealed that teacher EI was significantly associated with attitude and concerns about inclusive education after controlling teacher professional-related factors. There was no significant relationship between EI and teachers' sentiments about inclusive education, and teachers' professional-related factors did not account for individual contributions to the variances in teachers' sentiments. It was concluded that teachers' EI, may be a crucial factor that can impact aspects of teachers' perception of inclusive education such as attitude, and concerns about inclusive education but may not be able to erase teachers' deep-seated beliefs on inclusion. Implications of the study were highlighted. 相似文献

By the early 1970s, the Sierra Leone government realized that the educational system was not meeting the developmental needs of the country. In an attempt to reverse the increasing trend of migration to urban areas, to improve rural productivity and the quality of rural life, and to counteract other deleterious effects of this system, in 1974 the government collaborated with Unesco, UNDP and the African Development Bank in launching the Bunumbu project to train primary school teachers for rural areas. This linked a training college with 20 pilot schools and the local community. This paper critically examines the role played by each of the international organizations in executing the project. It gives examples of resources wasted in supplying inappropriate equipment and expensive building materials, and argues strongly for more consideration of local conditions, and for the involvement of local training agencies and local labour, in any similar future plans. The paper concludes with a discussion of who really benefits from international aid and resolves that both recipients and donors should abandon grandiose schemes.

Zusammenfassung In den frühen 70er Jahren stellte die Regierung von Sierra Leone fest, daß das Bildungssystem nicht den Entwicklungsbedürfnissen des Landes entsprach. Um die ständig wachsende Abwanderung in städtische Bereiche rückgängig zu machen, die ländliche Produktion und die Qualität des ländlichen Lebens zu verbessern, und um den nachteiligen Auswirkungen des Bildungssystems entgegenzuwirken, arbeitete die Regierung mit Unesco, UNDP und der Afrikanischen Entwicklungsbank zusammen, um das Bunumbu-Projekt ins Leben zu rufen, das Grundschullehrer für ländliche Bereiche ausbilden sollte. Dadurch wurde eine Lehrerbildungsanstalt mit 20 Pilotschulen und der lokalen Gemeinschaft verbunden. In diesem Bericht wird die Rolle untersucht, die jede der Organisationen bei der Durchführung dieses Projekts spielte. Beispiele werden dafür angeführt, wie Ressourcen durch die Lieferung ungeeigneter Geräte und teuren Baumaterials vergeudet wurden. Der Verfasser betont, daß die lokalen Bedingungen und die Einbeziehung lokaler Ausbildungsstellen, sowie lokaler Arbeitskräfte bei vergleichbaren künftigen Plänen mehr zu berücksichtigen seien. Der Bericht schließt mit einer Diskussion darüber, wer bei internationaler Entwicklungshilfe der Nutznießer sei, und kommt zu dem Schluß, daß sowohl die Geber als auch die Empfänger grandiose Vorhaben aufgeben sollten.
Résumé Au début des années 1970, le gouvernement du Sierra Leone s'est rendu compte que son système éducatif ne répondait pas aux besoins nationaux en matière de développement. Dans une tentative faite pour freiner l'exode croissant vers les zones urbaines, pour améliorer la productivité des campagnes et la qualité de la vie rurale, et afin de refréner les effets délétères de ce système, le gouvernement a lancé, en 1974, en collaboration avec l'Unesco, le PNUD et la Banque Africaine de Développement le Projet Bunumbu dont l'objectif consistait à former des enseignants pour les écoles primaires des zones rurales. Ce projet a établi des liens entre une école normale, 20 écoles pilotes et la communauté locale. Le présent article procède à l'examen critique du rôle joué dans l'exécution du projet par chacune des organisations internationales. Il met en relief le gaspillage des ressources dans l'achat d'un matériel inadéquat ou de matériaux de construction très onéreux, et plaide vigoureusement en faveur d'une prise en considération des conditions locales, de la participation des organisations de formation et de la main-d'oeuvre locales aux plans similaires qui seront mis en oeuvre à l'avenir. L'auteur ouvre enfin un débat pour savoir à qui profite réellement l'aide internationale et en conclut que bénéficiaires comme donateurs devraient abandonner toute idée de projet grandiose.
