knowledge about the psychological counseling services of the METU Health and Guidance Center were investigated. The sample consisted of 417 (223 female, 194 male) undergraduate students of Middle East Technical University. The data was gathered using the scale of Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help-Shortened (ASPH-S), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and a demographic information form. It was found that nearly half of the participants (47%) had knowledge about the psychological counseling services of the METU Health and Guidance Center. Friends were the most frequently stated sources of help (59%) in times of need for personal problems. Females had more positive attitudes toward seeking psychological help than males. Students of the Faculty of the Arts and Sciences, and students of the Faculty of the Education were found to have more favorable attitudes than of the Faculty of Engineering students. Finally, hierarchical regression analysis showed that perceived social support, prior help-seeking experience, and gender significantly predicted attitudes toward seeking psychological help. However, psychological distress was not associated with help-seeking attitudes.

Full textMy thesis in this work is that the universities could be active agents of development, intervening successfully on a local problematic area by networking with public and private actors in order to generate two specific factors of development: social and human capital. I set this idea in the context of the literature on higher education and the debates on innovative and active social functions for the contemporary university. This is the focus of Chapter 1. In Chapter 2 I approach the problem on a deeper level, in its organizational terms: I analyse the public-private partnerships as instruments for the universities to self-assign and re-interpret their local engagement for the creation of human and social capitals. The hypothesis presented in the first two chapters are tested in Chapter 3 on my case study: the Boston University-Chelsea Partnership, a unique example of the day-by-day management of a public district (the Chelsea public schools, MA) by a private university (the Boston University). My case study is set in context in Chapter 4, through the provision of other cases that, albeit not comparably, address similar concerns (quality of education and systems reform, and higher education policies and mission). All these cases are US-focused.

Öcalan, Özel Sila. "University-industry interactions : understanding university licensing strategies and beyond." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018STRAB009/document.
Full textThis thesis primarily focuses on university licensing. To understand the social impact of the university licensing strategies, we examine the link between the degree of exclusivity of licenses and the various characteristics of the licensed inventions. The theoretical and empirical findings of our research suggest that the practices of university technology transfer offices (TTOs) may not always be optimal, underlying the fact that there may still be room for the improvement. We also suggest that, when the innovations are sequential, universities might introduce alternative open source licensing (OSL) strategies. Furthermore, we expand our study by examining the dynamic interactions between various formal and informal channels of transfer. Our longitudinal qualitative methodology suggests that, dynamic interaction creates a strong cumulative effect with respect to the research valorization activity and reinforces the collective dimension of valorization

Full textAccording to a report published in 2015, the National Center for Education estimated that over 20 million students were forecasted to enroll in higher education in the 2016–17 school year, situating American universities as major institutional food retailers. Over the past two decades, corporate food providers have increasingly sought long-term public and private university contracts as a means to expand their reach into lucrative campus food landscapes (foodscapes), replacing in-house services with cheaper, more “efficient, and “productive” dining strategies. Companies such as Sodexo, Aramark, and Bon Appetit control the foodscapes of many university campuses across the United States, creating food environments dominated by corporate interests.
However, at the same time these corporate food service providers have colonized university food terrains, a growing movement of consumers concerned with ethical food sourcing have driven students across the United States to seek alternatives to dominant food sourcing strategies on their campuses. In a context of increased corporate control over their university foodscapes, student across the US have launched campaigns aiming to develop and establish student food cooperatives (SFCs), organizations seeking to assert the availability of sustainable, ethical, and healthy food options on campus in addition to pushing for more student decision-making power within their university food environments (Marsden, 2000).
It is within this context that my thesis aims to explore if and how student food cooperatives are creating new spaces for food sovereignty and if they are democratizing the control over their university food systems through campus based food initiatives.

Full textHoye, Katherine. "University Intellectual Property Policies And University-Industry Technology Transfer In Canada." Thesis, University of Waterloo, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10012/2855.
Full textEmpirical research, chiefly conducted in the United States, has explored the link between the incentives that are governed by IP policies and various outcomes and found that financial incentives are correlated with a variety of outcomes. This research extends the literature by exploring the same underlying relationship, in Canada, where IP policies also determine ownership and control of the development of the IP; some universities retain control over the development and other universities let the ownership and control vest with the inventors.
The research question was pursued by conducting three studies, each of which provided a different perspective. The first study seeks to explain cross-institutional patterns in the numbers of patents held by Canadian universities using variables that represent the financial incentives and control offered to faculty inventors by the universities' policies. The second study investigated the impact of a policy change at the University of Toronto, using interrupted time series analysis techniques. The third study investigated the experiences of faculty inventors at the University of Waterloo through indepth interviews and thematic analysis of the resulting qualitative data.
The first, cross-sectional study failed to generate statistically significant results. In the second, longitudinal study, the change from a "university-owns" to an "inventor-owns" policy appeared to have significantly and substantially increased the number of invention disclosures submitted to the University of Toronto by its faculty members. The third, qualitative study suggests that faculty members interpret the incentives governed by intellectual property policies and that this interpretation is shaped by group norms, academic leadership, university culture and the inventors' experiences with technology transfer support organizations. Therefore, Studies 2 and 3 indicate that university intellectual property policies are effective levers with which to stimulate university-industry technology transfer and thus deserve further study. The importance of university factors in Study 3 implies that intellectual property policies must fit with their organizational contexts in order to be productive.
This research also has important policy implications. Many governments have been attempting to emulate the American Bayh-Dole Act by introducing or changing national regulations affecting university IP policies. This research suggests that these national regulations may actually depress researcher support for technology transfer and thus the amount of activity at those institutions that would benefit from an alternate policy. In effect, standardization of university IP policies through national regulations may deprive university administrators of an effective lever for encouraging technology transfer on their campuses. This inference will be the focus of further research which will broaden the work documented in this dissertation by exploring the relationship between university IP policies, university-industry technology transfer, and university factors, including culture, across a wider range of universities.

The freedom of science ensures to the individual exercising research and teaching , a space free from any interference by the public authorities. The German university tradition is marked by the Humboldtian principles of the early nineteenth century, including the principle of unity of research and education. Wilhelm von Humboldt, founder of the University of Berlin in 1810, insists on the importance of the practice of freedom with regard to personal autonomy .The "university law" in France makes it difficult to maintain guarantees benefiting the scientist, the group of academics or the institution as a whole. If the exercise of science requires significant financial resources, it must be preserved from all societal and political objectification

Full textA presente dissertação visa analisar como as questões sociais e políticas influenciam as condições de acesso nas universidades privadas do Japão. O estudo de caso foi a estratégia adoptada para explorar as políticas de acesso, tendo em conta os factores sociais, políticos e académicos do contexto japonês. A Universidade J.F. Oberlin foi o caso usado para este propósito. A história, economia e tradições da sociedade japonesa, ainda que em diferentes medidas, sempre influenciaram significativamente as políticas de acesso ao ensino superior e são por isso inseparáveis desta análise. Os dois momentos mais importantes a nível político nesta temática são o processo de desregulamentação, ou seja, a transferência de controlo do governo central para o poder do governo regional, local e institucional durante o mandato de Nakasone (primeiro-ministro japonês), e, posteriormente a privatização de instituições públicas. Consequentemente, estas foram adquirindo maior autonomia durante o governo de Koizumi, sucessor de Nakasone. As mudanças sociais são visíveis pelo número decrescente de alunos que concluem o ensino secundário, a grande variedade de novos candidatos ao ensino superior e a falta de confiança neste sector. Estes dois factores exigiram dos decisores políticos e aos líderes institucionais soluções para estes problemas nacionais. As preocupações académicas foram atenuadas com maior grau de autonomia e consequentemente maior responsabilidade. O grande sistema de ensino superior japonês (maioritariamente composto por instituições privadas) enfrenta grande competitividade para atrair estudantes qualificados. Desta forma, as instituições têm que gerir cuidadosamente as suas políticas de acesso de forma a assegurar simultaneamente qualidade e um número satisfatório de matrículas para garantir a sua existência e futuro. No entanto, ao desenvolver os seus processos de admissão com êxito, as instituições têm que considerar vários obstáculos ao mesmo tempo que facilitam este processo. O carácter específico de cada instituição é um factor extremamente importante na distinção das melhores instituições que, em tal processo competitivo, precisam de procurar melhorar constantemente e alcançar major prestígio. ABSTRACT: The present thesis aims to analyse how social and policy issues influence access conditions to private universities in Japan. The case study is the strategy adopted to explore the implementation policy under social, political and academic factors in Japanese context. J.F. Oberlin University was the case chosen to achieve this goal. Those factors were at completely different level although with enormous influences in Japanese higher education access, moreover they were dramatically connected and clearly associate with that context. Japanese society, history, economy, tradition and develop have been always significant influences in Japanese higher education context. The two main factors at policy level were the deregulation process from central governmental control to local, regional and institutional power under Nakasone cabinet and afterward the privatization of public institutions and increase autonomy of private institutions under Koizumi cabinet. Social changes were represented by the decreasing high school graduate population, the wide variety of the new applicants and the lack of trust in tertiary education. Both stage demanded to policy-makers and institutions leaders to face serious problems at national level. The academic concern was dealt by the institutions with wide freedom and strong responsibility. The large Japanese system (basically private institution) faces a strong competition to attract enough and well qualify students. Therefore, institutions need to achieve their best admission policy procedures in order to assure, simultaneously, quality and a successful enrolment for its existence and a booming future. Nevertheless, in order to develop a success admission process, institutions have to consider several hurdles and facilitate. The specific and unique character of each institution would be an extremely important factor to characterize and distinguish them. In the tough competition process institutions need to improve and increase their prestige. The efficiency to measure the wide variety rank of student skills, motivations and backgrounds is an important process in order to build up a future and successful institution.

No significant differences were found between men and women in gambling activity , both for players and non-players in all the types of games analysed (lottery, bingo and casino). Even tough most students were infrequent gamblers, lottery playing was found to the most played form of gambling (79.6%). Lottery playing was found to be related to parental gambling. This research also examined peer influence and addictive behaviours as gambling influential factors. No significant relationship between peer influence, addictive activities (alcohol drinking and smoking) and university student gambling was found.

Full textTitel: A study of the students perceived quality at Malmo University Subject, course: Facility Management, Bachelor thesis 15 hp Authors: Marcus Hedenskog, Denniz SjööAdvisor: Peter PalmKeywords: Facility management, in-house, outsourcing, perceived quality ___________________________________________________To understand how space in university premises is used is important to be able to support the education that is taken place. Improvement in the supporting function to the core business is the most efficient method to increase learning and perceived quality in the premises. That is why spaces and cleaning plays a big role in student study results in university. Therefore the cleaning in Malmö University plays a big role in the work of Malmö University Facility Service to create a high quality study environment. Today the cleaning is performed by two contractors, one is an external actor and the other one i part of the Malmö University organization.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the student’s perception of differences in quality of the cleaning operators at Malmö University with the basis of the report Utvärdering av lokalvårdsorganisationen. The evaluation is to be seen as an quality parameter and complement to the existing evaluation of the difference in cost in contracting the two cleaningoperators in the report.The collected information from the study is based on a survey and interview with students in the four university buildings Niagara, Gäddan, Orkanen and Hälsa & Samhälle at Malmö University. The result in this study shows that the cleaning at the Malmö University premises is perceived as both important to the students and to be of an high and even quality today. However the students are mistaking many of the building qualities like age and condition for the technical quality of the performed cleaning that is performed. The small differences thatcan be noted is perceived quality of the cleaning relates to the condition and character of the building rather than the quality in performance of the cleaning operator. The perceived quality of the premises and the effect on study result thereby has a stronger connection between new and airy spaces rather than to higher cost for cleaning operation.

Full textThis study argues that the provision of library services in Kenyan public universities is characterised by extremely inadequate resources in terms of funds, information materials, equipment and staff. Private university libraries experience these problems albeit to a lesser degree. Although there is widespread opinion among students, lecturers as well as university administrators that university libraries play a critical role in the teaching, research, and learning activities, there is also awareness that university libraries in Kenya, especially those in public universities are not effectively providing services which has limited their role in research and learning in the university. Finally, modern information and communication technology is being incorporated in the management of university libraries in Kenya. However, this trend has been hindered by first, lack of funds to purchase equipment such as computers and set up networks, secondly by lack of skilled personnel in information technology, and finally by poor telecommunications infrastructure in the country. There is therefore need for adoption of strategic planning in all areas of library management and to remain viable sources of information, university libraries in Kenya have to make use modern information and communication technology. This will enable university libraries to facilitate better access to local and global information for example through electronic and internet media.

Full textAll universities have the capacity to embrace, embed or ignore sustainable development. Looking across the sector and reflecting on the past seven years and my own institutional experiences, the key finding is that change for campus and curriculum-based sustainability is clearly possible but unpredictable. For many years my own institution (University of Bradford) struggled to make progress in a number of key aspects of `campus greening¿ including recycling, green build, energy management, green travel, fair trade etc. It employed its first environmental manager as recently as 2003. Up until 2007, education for sustainable development (ESD) was largely found in one small academic department. Now, as this paper describes, it is a central feature of the learning and teaching strategy for the university and an overall institutional objective.

This dissertation examines the impact of board of director characteristics and policies on nonprofit performance. Using data collected through a survey of nonprofit colleges and universities, I provide evidence that specific board member characteristics and board monitoring policies are vital in shaping both the financial and nonfinancial success of nonprofit institutions of higher education. Related to board characteristics, results indicate that bigger boards with more major donors are consistently associated with better performing organizations, confirming my board contribution hypothesis. These results are in addition to noteworthy relationships between nonprofit success and the number of meetings held by an organization as well as the impact of recruiting board members who serve on other nonprofit boards. In terms of board monitoring, findings confirm regulatory and advisory recommendations that the use of a conflict of interest policy, disclosure of business relationships, nominating and compensation committees are important aspects of board development in addition to longer board terms. These relationships confirm all three monitoring hypotheses, suggesting that board disclosures, organization, and independence all have an important impact on success when it is measured as organizational efficiency, one of the most studied and relied upon measures of performance in the nonprofit sector. This work makes important, initial forays into the relationships between board of director qualities and nonprofit performance. Although limited by the relatively small sample of colleges and universities, given the lack of public data available related to nonprofit boards, this study is unique in the ability to analyze nonprofit boards with both financial and nonfinancial performance measures.

Full textThe study aims to examine the factors that influenced the international students when selecting Karlstad University as an institution. The study also contains a secondary aim which is to examine how the international students evaluate their experiences in Karlstad. Further the study is built upon four research questions, where the three first research questions can be referred to the main aim whereas the fourh research question can be referred to the secondary aim. The main aim is by the research questions divided into a three step process, the factor that influnced the international students to study abroad, to study in Sweden and to study at Karlstad University. The fourth research question which concerns the secondary aim is about how the international students evaluate their stay in Karlstad.
The enquiry has been made with help of a questionnaire, which 98 of the international students at Karlstad University answered. The study showed that factors that influenced the international students to study abroad was to gain better understanding of the foreign language and the foreign culture. The students were also influenced by the student life and the life experiences that they would gain by studying abroad. They also stated that the value of their resume would be higher because of these studies. Factors that influenced the students to study in Sweden was i.a the factor of knowledge and awareness. A majority found the knowledge of Sweden, the reputations of the institution quality, the awareness of the quality of the education as influencing factors. The students also found it easy to obtain information about Sweden, which is very good since this factor is a great contribution to knowledge and awareness. The answers showed that a small majority of the students were influenced by low fees and by recommendations from authorized representatives. The students were influenced by low crime and low racial discrimination factors, such as factors of clean environment and an exiting place to live in. The influencing factors of studying at Karlstad University were the reputation for quality, the reputation of institution staff, the broad range of courses and programs and the the good facilities. However many of the students stated that they choose Karlstad University because of the agreements between Karlstad University and the home University. As the students were asked to evaluate their stay in Karlstad, they seemd to be satisfied with the quality of education, the facilities, the student accomodations, the students life and Karlstad as a city.

Article 21 of the University Act states that faculty evaluation at university level should cover teaching, research, guidance provision, service provision, etc. Based on the principle of university autonomy, the Ministry of Education allows individual universities to set their own rules for faculty evaluation, and to decide which methods should be used, what items and content should be covered, what weightings should be employed, etc.; this has created a situation where there is considerable variation in the standards applied to faculty evaluation. The implementation of faculty evaluation can lead to changes in the campus environment, and can be seen as constituting a threat to faculty members; the results of faculty evaluation also affect the way universities manage their faculty “manpower.” This study seeks to determine whether faculty evaluation is in fact able to reflect faculty achievements and performance and create real benefits for universities. The goal of the present study is to undertake empirical analysis of the S university actual results obtained in faculty evaluation, so as to gauge how effective faculty evaluation is in reality. It is anticipated that the results obtained in this analysis can provide a useful reference for improving faculty evaluation; a number of suggestions are made as to how such improvement could be carried out. The study makes use of the independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA analysis. The first step is to analyze the relationship between faculty members’ personal background and their faculty evaluation results and weighting. The study then proceeds to explore, from the faculty members’ perspective, the impact of the individual dimensional weightings and special evaluation indicators on faculty members’ evaluation results. The following conclusions are reached: 1. Faculty member background variables (including gender, age, department, and years of service) have a significant impact on faculty members’ evaluation results. 2. Faculty member background variables (including gender, age, department, and years of service) have a significant impact on the dimensional weightings in faculty evaluation. 3. The distribution of the four dimensional weightings (teaching, research, administrative service, and guidance provision) is correlated with the evaluation results. 4. The special evaluation indicators relating to university performance, including “teaching performance feedback,” “receipt of teaching awards,” “simultaneous holding of administrative posts,” “undergoing training in teaching methods,” “publications,” “taking on of special projects,” “provision of specialist services,” etc., are correlated with the results obtained in the individual dimensions of faculty evaluation.

In this century, not only the ways of business operation are changing, but also schools operations are changing, too. For this reasons, it is important for universities to use the new knowledge to innovate so that they can obtain their competitive advantage. By using different department subventions to research and development and promote collaborations between teachers and enterprises, universities learn and create new knowledge from the Industrial-University Collaboration relationship. This study empirically examines the relationship between Industrial-University Collaboration and University Innovation Performance. In this study, sample was col-lected from the list of the Taiwan’s universities, include university, university of science and technology, and colleges. The finding shows that Industrial-University Collaboration, incubator and subven-tions has positive impact on University Innovation Performance.
