ABSTRACT The use of peer assessment as a way differentiating between individual students on group project is discussed. A new style appraisal questionnaire for the to complete introduced, together with detailed description method calculating 'peer factor' from these questionnaires. This factor allocates an member percentage mark awarded group's submission. results obtained when this scheme was used large first year course are discussed, some possible modifications and their effects. Examples...

Policy makers have introduced a number of measures to encourage older workers stay in the labour market, with improving access training particular priority. action appeared justified by evidence that are less likely participate training, and more never been offered employers – key finding Taylor Urwin’s (2001) review Labour Force Survey (LFS) data from 1997.

Abstract The impact of an ageing workforce on the workplace is a concern internationally. Governments are increasingly encouraging continued labour market participation older workers, seeking to remove previous barriers extension working lives and give more choice workers. Despite these legislative drivers, research has consistently found lack systematic approaches by employers prepare benefit from demographic changes. In this paper, qualitative drawn upon examine how managers workers think...

Geological correlations between Cape Breton Island and Newfoundland are apparent both in surface geology at deeper crustal levels, based on similarities Sm-Nd isotopic signatures. The Mira terrane of southeastern is part the Avalon sensu stricto composed Neoproterozoic volcanic-sedimentary-plutonic belts overlying Cambrian rocks directly comparable to those western terrane. Bras d'Or also mainly age, but shows lithological contrasts with Small areas similar occur southern north as inliers...

Several models have been created over the years that are used in simulation packages to predict pedestrian speed and flow on sidewalks. However, predictive power of these has weak. In this paper results a modeling exercise United Kingdom is reported. A number video surveys movement sidewalks, which representative different levels service, made. These videos analyzed yield data flows speeds variety other variables. From regression constructed performance assessed found perform reasonably...

Aims and objectives. The aim of this paper is to raise the awareness social network analysis as a method facilitate research in nursing research. Background. application assessing properties has allowed greater insight be gained many areas including sociology, politics, business organisation health care.

U–Pb dates from zircon, titanite, and monazite in plutons of the Bras d'Or Mira terranes southern Cape Breton Island, combined with 40 Ar/ 39 Ar other radiometric age data, indicate that had separate magmatic metamorphic histories until at least Middle Cambrian possibly Devonian. The Terrane is characterized by abundant late Precambrian (ca. 565–555 Ma) dioritic to granitic plutons, as exemplified Shunacadie granodiorite ([Formula: see text], zircon). Early Ordovician such Kellys Mountain...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance social networks, and capital embedded in them, secure employment if someone had become unemployed after age 50 years reveal process accessing mobilising that capital. Design/methodology/approach A case study a Scottish labour market was undertaken which involved an interview-based survey those who became their early 50’s tried regain employment. interview structured unstructured parts allowed both quantitative qualitative...

The Bras d'Or Terrane is defined in Cape Breton Island and consists of four distinctive components, (i) Low-pressure, regionally metamorphosed aluminous calcareous gneiss the Proterozoic metamorphic suite restricted to southeastern part terrane. (ii) Late clastic-volcanic-carbonate units (Blues Brook, Malagawatch, McMillan Flowage, Benacadie Brook formations, Barachois River Bateman suites) occur throughout terrane are generally at low grades, although sillimanite grade has locally been...

The Scrip Nappe, a large recumbent anticline that occupies the northern Selkirk and Monashee Mountains, has an inverted lower limb, some 50 km in length across strike, comprises stratigraphic divisions of Hadrynian Horsethief Creek Group, which can be traced southward with decreasing metamorphic grade through Mountains to Purcell Mountains. Nappe southwesterly vergence it formed way during first folding phase Mesozoic Columbian Orogeny. Metamorphism no greater than biotite zone accompanied...
