Canadian University Professors'Perceptions of the Challenges and Support to Engage in Research

Research has been an important responsibility for university professors. Although there has been an increased demand for research, few studies have been conducted directly with university professors to obtain their perceptions of the challenges the increased focus on research have presented. This study employed a qualitative methodology to inquire into the change of work life bought about by the increased demand for research, and the strategies professors have adopted to balance their teaching, research and service. It also inquired into the barriers to conducting research, and effective support strategies. Some barriers and support identified in this study were in accordance with what previous studies have identified. Perhaps because the professors interviewed were all tenured, they noted that the increased demand for research had not significantly changed their work life. Strategies they used to help them meet the demands for research included, but were not limited to, integrating their teaching and research, and collaborating with others on research projects. Barriers to research included bureaucratic constraints, newness to research, lack of time, and lack of funding.

Professor Jun Li Treating Vascular Dementia from Mutual Conclusion of Phlegm and Blood Stasis

Professor Jun Li believes that the main etiology and pathogenesis of vascular dementia is the combination of phlegm and blood stasis.The symptoms include feeling faint and declined senses in organs of the head,caused by mystery reason.To cure phlegm and blood stasis simultaneously,the therapy promotes the notion of“resolving phlegm and stimulating the circulation of blood,liberate brain orifices,”and treatments with the addition and removal of“Naotaitong Decoction,”which has an amazing clinical curative effect.This paper examines Professor Jun Li’s theoretical foundations and ideas from the syndrome differentiation and treatment of phlegm and blood stasis,systematically examines the curative effect and mechanism of Naotaitong Decoction in the treatment of vascular dementia,and examines the prescription and medication of typical cases for readers,in the hopes of providing guidance to clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
