Acculturation orientations of competing host communities toward valued and devalued immigrants     

Annie Montreuil  Richard Y. Bourhis   《Int J Intercult Relat》2004,28(6):507-532

This study explored how members of competing host communities may endorse different acculturation orientations towards valued and devalued immigrants settled in the bilingual city of Montreal. Francophone (N=422) and Anglophone (N=401) host community students from low-, medium- and high-ethnic diversity colleges completed the host community acculturation scale (HCAS) along with a questionnaire monitoring a range of social psychological correlates of acculturation orientations. Results showed that Anglophones were more integrationist and individualist and less assimilationist than Francophones. Both Francophones and Anglophones were more integrationist and individualist and less assimilationist, segregationist and exclusionist toward valued than devalued immigrants. Attending a multiethnic college had no influence on respondents’ acculturation orientations. The more welcoming acculturation orientations of Anglophones compared to Francophones was corroborated by results obtained with immigrants attending the French and the English colleges. Social psychological profiles of the respective acculturation orientations were similar across both host communities thus supporting the construct validity of the HCAS. Attitude toward co-national outgroup was a significant determinant of each acculturation orientations, suggesting that intergroup relations between rival host communities has an impact on acculturation orientations toward immigrants.  相似文献

Religiosity and the digital divide in Canada     

Maryam Dilmaghani 《The Communication Review》2018,21(3):181-211

The digital divide refers to the differential patterns of Internet access adoption and usage across different segments of populations. The digital divide has been linked to demographic variables such as age and gender, and socioeconomic characteristics such as education and income. Using a nationally representative Canadian survey (N = 27,223) conducted in 2013, this paper investigates whether religiosity has an independent effect on the digital divide, accounting for the previously validated predictors of Internet use. Religiosity is found to negatively associate with Internet access and activity, controlling for a large set of characteristics such as age, ethnicity, education, and income. The religiosity-related gaps in the usage patterns appear to indicate lifestyle differences for those without any tie with religion compared with the individuals of average religiosity. For the very religious, the gaps indicate that they utilize the Internet for social networking less than others. Various implications are discussed.  相似文献   

Usage Comparison between an English-Language and a French-Language E-Monograph Collection in a Bilingual Canadian University     

Alain R. Lamothe 《International Information and Library Review》2020,52(2):139-160

Abstract

This article reports the results of a quantitative and systematic analysis comparing usage rates between English-language and French-language e-monograph titles at Laurentian University, Canada. Full-text viewings were collected as usage metrics. English-language e-monographs exhibited medium strength linear relationships between collection size and usage. On the other hand, French-language e-monographs exhibited weak linear relationships between collection size and usage. The French-language e-monograph collection experienced a higher rate of full-text use, relative to size. The cost-per-viewing ratio for the English-language e-monograph collection was higher than those that calculated for the French-language collection.  相似文献   

跨国移民时代加拿大多元文化课程建构——基于跨国主义与跨文化主义     

余蓝  郭世宝 《比较教育研究》2019,41(7):22-28

跨国移民时代的到来向加拿大长久以来实施的多元文化教育政策提出了新的挑战和要求。研究者对当前加拿大公立学校官方课程所表现出来的欧洲中心主义、国家身份均质化和赞颂式多元文化等弊端进行了深刻的批判性分析,为重新审视多元文化教育提供了不同的视角和观点。在跨国流动性日益增强的趋势下,研究多元文化教育如何影响跨国移民及其子女的身份认同、文化适应和社会融合等问题,有必要运用跨国主义和跨文化主义理论框架对现有课程作出修正。  相似文献   

BLUP法种猪遗传评定在加拿大     

王世清  陈宏金 《金华职业技术学院学报》2001,1(2):35-37

饲养在不同猪群的种猪，其生产性能的原始或校正的背膘和年龄数据是遗传和环境的混合，而我们要选择的是遗传部分而不是其所在饲养的环境。估计育种值(EBVs)是种用猪遗传价值的统计估计值，是猪遗传改良方案中的一种新遗传评定系统。它以猪个体性能和其亲属性能为基础，在其选择决策中考虑母猪或公猪家系，考虑性状的遗传力，群内遗传差异以及品种遗传趋势，然后通过最佳线性无偏预测(BLUP)法来计算出EBVs。加拿大全国运用BLUP动物模型对猪生产成绩(100kg时的背膘和日龄)和母猪生产能力(产仔数)进行日常数据计算机处理后得到种猪遗传评定。种猪遗传改进的现行估计是每年背膘和日龄分别下降了0．35毫米和1．5天，这些进展比1985年应用BLUP法前背膘和日龄的下降快50％和200％。目前，对母猪的生产性状，胴体品质的遗传评定工作也已经着手研究。  相似文献

加拿大华人中产阶层，主要由二战后移居到加拿大的技术移民和在加拿大出生的华裔技术人员组成。该阶层产生于20世纪70年代。他们有其独特的特征，他们的劳动力价格及年均收入低于其他加拿大人。近年来，华人中产阶层在加拿大社会中的形象及地位大大改观。  相似文献   

The university brand and social media: using data analytics to assess brand authenticity     

James Pringle  Samantha Fritz 《Journal of Marketing for HIGHER EDUCATION》2019,29(1):19-44

Recent economic pressures have demanded higher education institutions respond with strong, authentic brand promises. This mixed method multi-case study explored the authenticity of common brand promises at three Universities in Canada through Twitter and Facebook postings from February to April 2016 using a cloud-based text and network analytic tool. Our study revealed the content shared on social media channels, while largely trustworthy, was fraught with shades of gray and revealed that sometimes brand promises were used against the university when they appeared disingenuous or threatened institutional norms around equity and social justice. Further, social media strategies are still largely limited to push notification suggesting universities are missing opportunities to strengthen their brand and counter negative messaging. For marketing managers it reinforces investments should be directed toward creating engaging and authentic content that can be expressed through multiple touch-points including social media and this can be monitored through low-cost analytic tools.  相似文献
