Part-Time Learners’Perceptions of Success During Emergency Remote Teaching and Implications for Future

The Faculty of Lifelong Learning at South East Technological University’s Carlow campus is one of the largest providers of part-time,adult learning in the Irish HE sector.Therefore,the perspectives of our part-time learners offer us valuable insights into adult learner experiences in the Irish HE sector.The outbreak of Covid 19 saw us pivot our provision to an emergency remote teaching(ERT)model in the first wave of the epidemic.The faculty undertook an extensive study of its learners in 2021 to examine the impacts of ERT on learners,and this article takes a qualitative approach to the findings of this study,looking specifically at learners’comments about success,and the barriers to success,which ERT posed.Our study provided an opportunity to learn about our learners’conceptions of student identity,and how they interpret success as part-time learners.

Part-Time Nurse Faculty Intent to Remain Employed in Academia: A Cross-Sectional Study

The purpose of this study was to test and refine a model of part-time nurse faculty intent to remain employed in the academic organization. Cross-sectional survey methods were used. A total of 282 part-time nurse faculty working in colleges or universities in Ontario, Canada were invited to participate. Survey instruments and items measured demographic, workplace, nurse responses to the workplace, and external variables. Correlation, multiple regression, and mediation analyses were conducted using data from 119 participants (47.6% response rate). Of the 19 variables hypothesized to affect intent to remain employed in the academic organization, seven influenced intent to remain. The resulting model indicated that the older the part-time nurse faculty member, the lower the level of intent to remain and the more years worked in the organization, the higher the level of intent to remain. The more opportunities perceived to exist outside of the employing organization, the higher the level of intent to remain. Additionally, the more satisfied part-time nurse faculty were with their job overall, the higher their level of intent to remain. In the workplace, the more support from the leader, the more formal or informal recognition received, and the more fair work procedures were perceived to be, the higher levels of part-time nurse faculty intent to remain employed in the academic organization, mediated by job satisfaction. Although age, organizational tenure, and external career opportunities are non-modifiable variables, deans and directors can encourage part-time nurse faculty to remain employed in their academic job by focusing on enhancing overall job satisfaction. Effective strategies may include formal or informal acknowledgement of good performance, consistent verbal and behavioural support, and implementation of procedural practices, such as performance evaluations and pay raises in a fair manner.

Difficulties and Breakthrough Strategies in the Team Construction of Part-time Teachers in Application-oriented Universities

Strengthening the team construction of part-time teachers is required by the transformation and development of the universities,the realization of their goals of being developed into an application-oriented universities and their talent cultivation and long-term development.The existing problem regarding the part-time teachers in current application-oriented universities are the low proportion of part-time teachers,a shortage of high level parttime teachers,the absence of relevant laws and regulations,a lack of systematic policies or financial support for part-time teachers as well as the unsound management mechanism with insufficient scientific and reasonable employment scheme for part-time teachers.To strengthen the team construction of the part-time teachers in application-oriented universities,firstly we should improve the existing laws,regulations and policies and broaden the financial support channels.Secondly,we should develop the recruitment channels for part-time teachers and pay attention to introducing high-tech and highly-skilled talents.Thirdly,we should improve the management over part-time teachers and promote their value.Fourthly,it should adopt a people-oriented management concept and establish an effective evaluation and incentive mechanism for part-time teachers.

Impacts of Part-time Farming on Agricultural Land Use in Ecologically-vulnerable Areas in North China

Part-time farming has been increasing steadily in China. It is currently the largest segment among all the farm sectors in the country. Based on rural household survey data in Taipusi County as a case site ofecologically-vulnerable areas in North China, we firstly classify farm households into four types according to the proportion of non-farm income in total income, and then compare their agricultural land use patterns to empirically examine the impacts of part-time farming on agricultural land use in this area. The results suggest that non-farming households rent out all their land and give up farming, and this satisfies the expectation of other households to expand land area. The crop planting structure was not significantly different among the households, which reflected the farmers＇ will to pursuit labor productivity. Part-time farming households invest more capital and materials than full-time faming households because the income derived from non-farm employment relaxes the financial constraint of households. However, the amount of labor input of part-time farming households tends to be less, and farming practices are dominated by the elderly, female and laborers withrelative low educations.Yields of crops and the benefit of agricultural land use incline to reduce, which suggest that the potential of land use productivity is more elastic to labor inputs than capital inputs in the study area.

高职院校外聘教师管理的可持续发展研究

在我国,大多数高职院校与外聘教师之间的合作教学往往处于一种以学期为周期、短暂的状态。这种视外聘教师为一种临时性资源,用以弥补高职院校教学资源不足的做法,既不利于外聘教师个人的发展,也不利于高职院校核心竞争力的体现。因此,高职院校对外聘教师的管理机制应有所改变,应立足于可持续发展的人才培养模式,为外聘教师参与高职院校教学活动提供更多的路径,逐步培养外聘教师对高职院校的忠诚度。

Influences of labor migration on rural household land transfer:A case study of Sichuan Province,China

The influence of labor migration on rural household land transfer has been hotly debated in academic circles, which focuses on whether part-time employment leads to land transfer. Using survey data on rural households in the Sichuan Province, and applying the theoretical framework of new economics of labor migration, this study explores the influences of labor migration on the direction and scale of land transfer from the perspective of rural household structure. The results indicate that: 1) the quantity of laborers has significant influence on the direction and scale of land transfer. The larger the on-farm labor variable(Labor), the lesser the possibility that land will be rented-out and the amount of land rented out will also be smaller. In addition, there is a greater probability that land will be rented-in and the amount of land rented-in will be greater. 2) The greater the ratio of off-farm laborers to rural household laborers(Off-farm) the greater the possibility that land will be rented-out. In addition the higher the ratio of on-farm laborers to the total household laborers(On-farm), the larger the possibility that land will be rented-in. Meanwhile, if the household has individuals at the age of 64 or older(Old) who are engaged in agriculture, there is a smaller possibility that land will be rentedout. 3) the ratio of part-time laborers to rural household laborers(Pluriactivity) have significant inverse U-shaped influences on the rent-in of land as well as the amount of land rented-in. The inflection points are 33.27% and 14.10%, respectively. Such findings confirm the significance of this study in better understanding the influence of labor migration on rural household land transfer.

基于正反馈主动偏移孤岛检测算法仿真研究

孤岛检测是光伏系统并网必须具备功能，要求能够快速检测出孤岛状态，及时与电网切断。目前采用大多数是被动式孤岛保护，通过检测电压的幅值、频率、相位突变和谐波来实现孤岛检测，可是当光伏系统和负载在完全匹配时，被动检测的方法将会失去效果，不能快速有效地检测到孤岛效应的发生。本文为了克服被动式孤岛保护缺陷，对基于正反馈主动移频式孤岛检测方法进行研究，分析了该检测方法工作原理，通过仿真验证了该方法可以达到孤岛检测标准的要求。
