A Note from the New Editors     

Amy Koerber  Miles Kimball 《Technical Communication Quarterly》2013,22(2):105-106

This article develops a multimodal model for how claims and evidence work across linguistic, numeric, and visual modes in the professional writing of environmental scientists. I coded and analyzed two reports (Bacey &; Barry, 2008 Bacey , J. , &; Barry , T. ( 2008 ). A comparison study of the proper use of Hester-Dendy® samplers to achieve maximum diversity and population size of benthic macroinvertebrates Sacramento Valley, California (Report No. EH08-2) . Sarcramento , CA : California Environmental Protection Agency . [Google Scholar]; Levine et al., 2005 Levine , J. , Kim , D. , Goh , K. S. , Ganapathy , C. , Hsu , J. , Feng , H. , &; Lee , P. ( 2005 ). Surface and ground water monitoring of pesticides used in the Red Imported Fire Ant Control Program (Report EH05-02) . Sacramento , CA : California Environmental Protection Agency . [Google Scholar]) written by research scientists working for California's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) by applying concepts from studies of argument, genre, and visual representations in science. The claim-evidence patterns show initial and summative claims as well as warrants being presented in linguistic forms; however, supporting evidence (i.e., data and backing) is found in numeric, visual, and linguistic forms. These findings highlight the need to extend Toulmin's understanding of claim-evidence relationships into a more robust multimodal model.  相似文献   

Library and information services in the pacific islands     

Miles M. Jackson 《International Information and Library Review》2013,45(1):25-41

Abstract

The article deals with changes in the reading habits of Estonians in recent years. It includes overviews of studies conducted since the 1960’s and discusses the impact of the printed word on Estonian national culture. Factors influencing this impact include the Lutheran cultural heritage and the Estonians' ethnic homogeneity. The article’s main emphasis is on changes since the transition to the market economy. Under the impact of mass media, reading has become more casual and less frequent. The number of traditionally large Estonian home libraries is diminishing, giving to public libraries a more significant role in the delivery of printed materials.  相似文献   

Brokering Community–University Engagement     

Miles McNall  Celeste Sturdevant Reed  Robert Brown  Angela Allen 《Innovative Higher Education》2009,33(5):317-331

Although substantial areas of agreement exist regarding the characteristics of effective community–university partnerships for research, there is little empirical research on the relationship between the characteristics of such partnerships and their outcomes. In this study, we explored the relationship between partnership characteristics and partnership outcomes. Analyses of the relationships between partnership dynamics and perceived benefits show that (1) effective partnership management is associated with increased research on a community issue, problem, or need; (2) co-creation of knowledge is associated with improved service outcomes for clients; and (3) shared power and resources are negatively associated with increased funding for community partners’ organizations. Our findings suggest that effective partnership management and opportunities for the co-creation of knowledge are practices that are worthy of deliberate cultivation within community–university partnerships for research.

Information needs for the information economy     

I. Miles 《International Journal of Information Management》1989,9(4)

There is a marked imbalance in the literature on the information economy: despite a proliferation of grand speculations, and a large number of case studies, there are relatively few efforts to bring macrostatistics to bear on relevant developments. The main approach which has been pursued statistically, involving efforts to define and monitor an ‘information sector’ has served a useful consciousness-raising role, but is inherently limited. It is proposed that a focus on the production and use of new information technology (IT) provides a more appropriate way of conceptualizing the information economy. A study is described in which relevant data were critically appraised for the United Kingdom; the conclusions with respect to specific classes of data are summarized. It is concluded that these data do support an IT focus in statistical work; they demonstrate the availability of a great deal of statistical material which has been exploited to a surprisingly limited extent; but there are substantial elisions and omissions in available data, which need to be corrected. Rather than launch a wholesale revision of statistical series, however, it is proposed that progress can currently best be made by encouraging a plurality of experimental studies.  相似文献

Are the creative industries meritocratic? An analysis of the 2014 British Labour Force Survey     

Dave O’Brien  Daniel Laurison  Andrew Miles  Sam Friedman 《Cultural Trends》2016,25(2):116-131

ABSTRACT

There is currently widespread concern that Britain’s cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are increasingly dominated by the privileged. This stands in stark contrast to dominant policy narratives of the CCIs as meritocratic. Until now this debate has been clouded by a relative paucity of data on class origins. This paper draws on new social origin data from the 2014 Labour Force Survey to provide the first large-scale, representative study of the class composition of Britain’s creative workforce. The analysis demonstrates that CCIs show significant variation in their individual “openness”, although there is a general under-representation of those from working-class origins across the sector. This under-representation is especially pronounced in publishing and music, in contrast to, for example, craft. Moreover, even when those from working-class backgrounds enter certain CCIs, they face a “class origin pay gap” compared to those from privileged backgrounds. The paper discusses how class inequalities, as well as those related to gender and ethnicity, between individual CCIs point to occupational subcultures that resist aggregation into the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s broader category of CCIs. The paper concludes by suggesting the importance of disaggregating CCIs and rethinking the definition and boundaries of CCIs as a meaningful category.  相似文献
