University Expansion

This chapter describes the multi-dimensional expansion of the university, focusing especially on its accumulating numbers and global diffusion. It stresses the transcendence and universalism of the university at the global level. It also analyzes how university expansion is expected to occur earlier and more fully in the global core than in the global periphery, in democracies than in dictatorships, in the natural sciences than in the social sciences or humanities, and in world-class research universities more than local teaching colleges. The chapter highlights the university as a global institution and the global knowledge society that arises upon it. It examines the spread of universities around the world and studies local instances of a general model that is a central point to sociological neo-institutional theory.

World Class Universities

The concept of “world-class university” has been there for some time, and everyone wants a world-class university, and no country feels it can do without one. This battle to develop world-class universities lies not only in the gained status but also in the symbolic role of such universities. Universities exist mainly for research and dissemination of knowledge, which have become critical drivers of economic growth. For this reason, world-class research universities are recognized as central institutions in the 21st century economies. This recognition comes with pressure for universities to rethink their research activities and with the need to raise their research status to that of internationally accepted world-class universities. However, in order to attain the world-class research status, there is a need to sustain the efforts being put in place at both national and university levels. This study analyzed university data over nine years, from 2008 to 2016. It examined how Nanjing Agricultural University has strived to sustain its efforts towards attaining world-class research status. The results reveal that consistency and sustainability have resulted in excellence in research and increased research production. The conclusion is that the sustainability of the efforts significantly increases research production and excellence.

Abstract The object of this research is the activity of 25 leading research universities in the world. One of the most problematic issues is the in-depth analysis of the ranking indicators of world-class research universities in order to identify the priorities for the development of research universities in the European Union. The following scientific methods were used in the research: generalizations, analysis, synthesis, graphical method, and also comparison method. The study is based on data on the global university rankings in QS World University Rankings 2018 and empirical data from publicly available sources provided by the research universities. The article also systematizes the scientific views of the leading scientists of Europe and the world on the course of development of research universities and analyses the experience of implementing joint scientific projects in the EU countries. The importance of international cooperation between research universities in the fields of academic mobility and scientific research is underlined due to the fact that the global challenges and prospects that the research universities in the European Union and the world are facing are transient and create a tough competitive environment. Strengthening their leadership potential and developing entrepreneurial thinking has been revealed as a modern trend in the development of research universities. The article characterizes the 25 best world-class research universities, and the factors which have enabled them to uncover their strengths and systematize the key areas of in-depth specialization. The contrasting differences between the analysed research universities are shown, as there are significant disparities in the total number of students, foreign students and staff of research universities, showing fundamentally different approaches to the organization of educational and research processes, even within a single country. This is due to the fact that the ratio of student per staff representative significantly affects the quality of education. The author proposes the key development priorities for research universities in the European Union, which consist in intensified work on: academic reputation; the number of foreign students; reputation of employers; improvement of the ratio of the number of students to the number of staff; improvement of quality and increase in the number of citations of scientific publications by university researchers; increasing the share of the university’s participation in international educational and scientific networks of other countries and continents.

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) applied in the world-class shipbuilding industry has set significant trends in the processes and life cycles of the products and/or systems developed. COTECMAR as a Countrywide pioneer company in this sector, with specific strengths in naval prototypes, has been developing actions together with the National Navy to integrate concepts related to ILS, in its processes. Therefore, a detailed analysis of how these processes are facing the requirements of such support, has become necessary, starting from the initial basis of the possible advantages and opportunities for improvement that this could bring to the corporation and the sector. This is based on the theoretical and conceptual foundations in the ILS framework and how these are developed in the company under analysis.

Petrogenesis of Scheelite-Bearing Albitite as an Indicator for the Formation of a World-Class Scheelite Skarn Deposit: A Case Study of the Zhuxi Tungsten Deposit

Abstract Scheelite-bearing albitite is present in the form of rare, highly fractionated felsic dikes in the world-class Zhuxi tungsten deposit. Morphologically, the Zhuxi albitite forms individual dikes with thicknesses from 0.01 to 5.1 m in the orebodies. Additionally, the Zhuxi albitite is characterized by high sodium concentrations (Na2O = 6.08–8.04 wt %), low silicon (SiO2 = 56.81–62.56 wt %) and potassium concentrations (K2O = 1.44–2.62 wt %), and increasing P2O5 (0.1–0.7 wt %), Y (2.72–8.62 ppm), and rare earth element (8.28–28.89 ppm) concentrations from the tops to the bottoms of the dikes, which are controlled by the heterogeneous distribution of apatite grains in the albitite. The trace element geochemical characteristics and Sr-Nd isotope compositions of the albitite and the geochemistry of plagioclase, muscovite, apatite, and scheelite that formed in both the albitite and ore-related (altered) granites strongly suggest a genetic relationship between the two rocks. Given our new data and previous experimental data, as well as natural examples from around the world, we propose that the Zhuxi albitite is the product of a silicate-poor, H2O-rich melt that formed by melt–melt-liquid immiscibility processes in an extremely fractionated residual magma. A deep-seated (>3 kbar) granitic magma reservoir was directly related to the formation of these rare scheelite-bearing albitite dikes. Albitite dikes are the product of extreme fractionation of a granitic magma, and W is highly incompatible during magma evolution regardless of oxygen fugacity; therefore, intense tungsten mineralization development within albitite dikes should serve as an important criterion for judging the tungsten metallogenic potential.

New Framework

In the era of new media, people and societies across the globe are interconnected and extending the new framework to business, trade, and tourism. Different websites and social media are facilitating a plethora of content and information through photos, videos, 3D visualization to satisfy people’s queries, to promote and brand nations. Due to this, tourism is also witnessing a big change. Oman is not far away from this reality. This study aims to gauge into the present tourism status of Oman and its prospects. It will examine the pervasiveness of new media and its increasing significance in holding the desired position in the world-class tourism. Observation and survey methods are applied to reach out the result. Total 125 samples have been collected through an online createdlink from Salalah to understand the mass thinking about new media and its changing role in the tourism sector. The findings provide insight understanding about the current situation of tourism; despite all efforts of Tourism Ministry and increasing penetration of new media, more efforts and awareness are required in terms of the involvement of locals to make Oman international tourism destination.
