The Globalization of Cricket: The Rise of the Non-West     

Amit Gupta 《国际体育史杂志》2013,30(2):257-276

The article argues that international cricket has not followed the path of other transnational sporting events which, typically, are dominated by developed countries. It is a game which the non-Western countries have begun to dominate not just on the field but, more importantly, in shaping the economics and politics of the game. The article suggests that this change, that is atypical of international sport, has come about because of processes within the globalization phenomenon particularly. These are the rise of a transnational community which can support its team across frontiers, the spread of technology that provides real time coverage of the sport; and the decline of the sport in its host country, thereby allowing alternative centres of power to emerge, especially in decision making.  相似文献   

The Influence of Teacher Development on Secondary Content Area Supervision Among Preservice Teachers     

Mary D. Burbank  Alisa Bates  Udita Gupta 《The Teacher Educator》2013,48(1):55-69

This study addresses the issues and challenges faced by university supervisors when providing content-specific and general pedagogical feedback to preservice teachers. Study data highlight the perspectives of six preservice teachers as they reflect on their supervisory experiences over the course of a licensure year. Survey, interview, and written observation data from preservice teachers and university supervisors reveal the influence of teacher development and content area conventions on how preservice teachers view their teaching abilities and their expectations of university supervisors. Findings will inform how others may approach mentoring, support, and the evaluation of beginning teachers.  相似文献   

Program exclusivity and competition in the cable television industry     

Thomas F. Baldwin  Connie L. Ono  Seema Shrikhande 《Journal of Media Economics》2013,26(3):29-45

The authors argue that program exclusivity will be an important factor in the future of the cable television industry. They assert that prohibiting cable program exclusivity may limit the First Amendment rights of cable programmers and operators. The authors conclude that the best chance for increasing competition if program exclusivity continues is to increase the number of market participants.  相似文献   

Schools and informal science settings: collaborate, co-exist, or assimilate?     

Jennifer D. Adams  Preeti Gupta  Amy DeFelice 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2012,7(2):409-416

In this metalogue we build on the arguments presented by Puvirajah, Verma and Webb to discuss the nature of authentic science learning experiences in context of collaborations between schools and out-of-school time settings. We discuss the role of stakeholders in creating collaborative science learning practices and affordances of out of school time and formal science learning contexts. We contend that authentic science learning experiences are those where science learning happens within a social milieu and advocate for true collaborations between schools and informal settings in ways that emphasize the goals of the collaboration and strengths of each setting.  相似文献   

Savouring Rajasthan's Shiksha Karmi in a remote village: the prospect of dismantling the student-teacher divide     

Brij Kothari  P. G. Vijaya  Sherry Chand  Rajeev Sharma  Amar H. Kalro  Parvinder Gupta 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2013,32(5):407-417

The Shiksha Karmi Project in Rajasthan, one of the most educationally challenged states, is at the frontiers of alternative models of primary education in India. The key ideas underlying this model are: (i) the taking over of ‘sick’ schools in remote regions of the state and turning them around, (ii) creating new schools driven by demand from the ground, (iii) human resource investments to train local village teachers, (iv) strong linkages between the school and the community built upon a spirit of voluntarism, (v) an explicit movement toward gender equity and (vi) a bold attempt at the universalization of primary education through a combination of formal and non-formal institutions. This article provides a grounded feel for the Shiksha Karmi Project in a stellar school, Meena Dant Ka Pura. While the case highlights the shortage of locally based female teachers in the entire Shiksha Karmi Project, it also suggests the very real possibility of employing Shiksha Karmi Project alumni and higher grade students in teaching roles. Overall, primary education in India has much to learn from the Shiksha Karmi Project experience.  相似文献

A Dual Approach to a Linear Smoothing Problem     

P.N. Nikiforuk  M.M. Gupta  N. Minamide 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》1979,308(4):381-388

In this paper, the continuous-time linear Gaussian smoothing problem is investigated by utilizing a dual approach. It is shown that the smoothing problem is a dual of an optimal regulator with a jump condition on the trajectory. By solving the dual optimal control problem, basic results established earlier on this smoothing problem are derived in a simpler way. Results are also obtained for the discrete-time linear smoothing Gaussian problem.  相似文献   

Significance of Vitamin D Binding Protein in Assessing Vitamin D Status Among Under-Five Children     

Suchitra Surve  Shahina Begum  Beena Joshi  M. Ikram Khatkhatay  Seema Kadam  Sanjay Chauhan 《Indian journal of clinical biochemistry : IJCB》2021,36(2):167

Despite ample sunshine, 50–90% Indian children have Vitamin D deficiency (VDD). This enigma of widespread VDD needs exploration especially among under-fives as physiological variations in Vitamin D Binding Protein (VDBP) levels could be potential confounders in the interpretation of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. However, there is scarce information about relevance of VDBP levels in under-five age group. We therefore, explored association of VDBP levels among 1–5 year old children with VDD. Serum levels of 25(OH)D, VDBP, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase were estimated in 210 apparently healthy children in the age group of 1–5 years. VDD was defined as serum 25(OH)D levels < 20 ng/ml as per the IOM classification. VDBP levels were classified as low if levels were < 168 μg/ml as per the kit. The prevalence of VDD was 79.5% (n = 167) and VDBP levels were low in 48.6% (n = 102) of children. 25(OH)D levels correlated positively with VDBP (r = 0.298, p = 0.0001). A significant number of children (52.7%) with VDD had low VDBP (p = 0.015). and despite adequate sun exposure, 43% of children showed VDD and 56.6% had low VDPB levels. The low VDBP levels largely explain low 25OHD levels without necessarily implying VDD. It may add a new dimension for better understanding of widespread VDD among under-five children. It thus, points towards the need for redefining cut offs and complete evaluation of vitamin D status among under-fives including VDBP.  相似文献
