Determining the influence of video-based benchmarking (VBB) on examiner variability in objective structured clinical exams (OSCE): The Align study
Introduction Reducing examiner variability in Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) is a priority within clinical performance assessment. In contrast to typical OSCE examiner training, video-based benchmarking (VBB) involves examiners scoring videos a/from their specific station b/shortly before the OSCE and then reflecting on and discussing scores/justifications agreed by an expert panel. Whilst realist evaluation has described mechanisms …
Buraalgamayi: Positioning Koori Approaches to Social Work
This article promotes Koori approaches to counselling and therapy to negate a range of issues inhibiting the efficacy of contemporary approaches to social work in Australia. To do so, it presents Buraalgamayi as a methodologically dynamic Koori approach to social work. Utilizing a Dunghutti social worker's professional reflections, an experiential standpoint is established from which Buraalgamayi can be respectfully deconstructed to allow insight…
Warrants for Action: An Agenda for Continuous Improvement Research in Education
Purpose: Recent reports by the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have ignited a new wave of discourse regarding the future of education research and reinvigorated calls for education research to be more relevant to practice. An emerging research paradigm, continuous improvement research (CIR), responds to that debate by placing the pursuit of practice relevance at its core. This article seeks to understand how participants i…
The Gendered Necropolitics of Armenian–Ottoman Conscripts
Scholarly and testimonial evidence from Armenian, English, French, German, and Turkish sources document the gendered ways by which the Ottoman Empire utilized mandatory military service — conscription — as a tool to carry out genocide during the First World War. Recruitment and deployment policies empowered Ottoman conscripts to commit crimes while simultaneously authorizing the capture and destruction of Armenian men and boys. Given the obfuscat…
Penal Battalions and Genocidal Warfare: History's Warnings, Wagner's Global Footprint, and Ukraine
The expendability of penal battalions has provided genocidal regimes with ample fodder for conventional wars, genocidal warfare, and cases in which such conscripts may become either perpetrators or victims. The unresolved charges of those who massacred civilians in Bucha, Ukraine, in 2022 extend to include suspects from a private military security company (PMSC) known as the Wagner Group. Vladimir Putin's regime has regularly contracted Wagner si…

General Practice Statistics in Australia: Pushing a Round Peg into a Square Hole
In Australia, general practice forms a core part of the health system, with general practitioners (GPs) having a gatekeeper role for patients to receive care from other health services. GPs manage the care of patients across their lifespan and have roles in preventive health care, chronic condition management, multimorbidity and population health. Most people in Australia see a GP once in any given year. Draft reforms have been released by the Au…

“What the Hell Is This, and Who the Hell Are You?” Role and Identity Negotiation in Research-Practice Partnerships
In research-practice partnerships (RPPs), the line between researcher and practitioner can be blurred, and the roles for everyone involved may be unclear. Yet little is known about how these roles are negotiated and with what consequences for collaborative efforts. Guided by organizational theory, we share findings from a multiyear case study of one RPP, drawing on observations of partnership leadership meetings and interviews with school distric…

The Politics of Teacher Reform in Florida: Analyzing Causal Narratives Surrounding State Adoption of Performance-Based Evaluations, Performance Pay, and Tenure Elimination
Following a multiyear debate, Florida lawmakers passed the “Student Success Act” in March 2011, introducing some of the most sweeping educational reforms in the state's history—the introduction of teacher evaluation systems based on value-added modeling, mandatory “performance pay” for teachers, and the elimination of long-term professional service contracts. Using Stone's (1989) Causal Stories framework, this article analyzes arguments made for …
Industry Perspectives on Barriers, Hurdles, and Irritants Preventing Development of Frontier Energy in Canada's Arctic Islands
The Canadian Arctic Islands and intervening channels are known to be rich in hydrocarbon resources. The combined Hecla and Drake Point discoveries of Sabine Peninsula on Melville Island have recoverable and marketable natural gas reserves estimated at almost 9 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). Proven reserves for the western Sverdrup Basin, drilled and delineated by industry exploration between 1969 and the early 1980s, are 17.5 Tcf gas and 1.9 billion …
From Wunderkammer to Museum
Catalogues of booksellers and auctioneers have a long history as valuable bibliographical tools – one of the standard and most frequently cited of all being the catalogue prepared by Count Cicognara of his own library before its sale to the Vatican in 1824. From Wunderkammer to Museum had its origins in an enterprise conceived by the booksellers Nicholas Poole-Wilson, the managing director of Quaritch, and Diana Parikian, who decided to put toget…
An Initial Object-Oriented Programming Language (Iopl) and Its Implementation
Object-oriented programming languages designed for introductory teaching simplify the often overcomplex features of conventional languages, but usually do so within software development environments that mimic their conventional counterparts. In such systems, semantic checking is performed after the editing process and within a conventional edit-compile-execute cycle. The initial object-oriented programming language (IOPL) provides incremental se…
Experimental Discursive Spaces: Policy Processes, Public Participation and the Greater London Authority
The paper seeks to engage with the interrelationships between the newly established Greater London Authority (GLA) as a form of devolved but diffuse city governance and new procedures for encouraging active public engagement in policy-making processes. The scope and conduct of new discursive spaces for engaging Londoners in the early stages of policy-making concerned with sustainable development are the focus of enquiry. The paper draws on publis…
Environmental Communication and the Cultural Politics of Environmental Citizenship
This paper presents a comparative analysis of how representatives from the public, private, and voluntary sectors of two cities [Nottingham (United Kingdom) and Eindhoven (The Netherlands)] responded to the challenge of communicating more effectively with citizens about issues of sustainability. The analysis is set in the context of literature about the need to widen participation in the determination of Local Agenda 21 policies, and the drive fo…

Crime and Punishment in England
Ordering punishment
Jabez Balfour was one of the occasional symbolic victims of nineteenth-century justice. Using extensive nonconformist connections he had established the rapidly expanding Liberator Building Society, which attracted the savings of working people anxious to become home-owners. On the basis of his financial success, he entered parliament as a Liberal MP and established himself as an authority on commercial matters. In 1892 his business empire collap…

Exploring Environmental Values through the Medium of Small Groups: 1. Theory and Practice
Empirical qualitative research is gaining recognition within social and humanistic geography, although the 'small group' is not yet recognised as a valuable research technique. In this paper we review the use of once-only group interviews in social and market research, and then discuss the principles of Group-analytic psychotherapy as a way of conducting in-depth small groups. By means of a discussion of the Greenwich Open-Space Project, we explo…

The major themes of the group discussions are presented, and extracts of dialogue illustrate several aspects of small-group dynamics: how the group establishes its identity, how members negotiate increasing levels of intimacy and trust, how …
