AbstractObjectivesA panel of emergency medicine (EM) leaders endeavoured to define the key elements of leadership and its models, as well as to formulate consensus recommendations to build and strengthen academic leadership in the Canadian EM community in the areas of mentorship, education, and resources.MethodsThe expert panel comprised EM leaders from across Canada and met regularly by teleconference over the course of 9 months. From the breadth of backgrounds and experience, as well as a literature review and the development of a leadership video series, broad themes for recommendations around the building and strengthening of EM leadership were presented at the CAEP 2015 Academic Symposium held in Edmonton, Alberta. Feedback from the attendees (about 80 emergency physicians interested in leadership) was sought. Subsequently, draft recommendations were developed by the panel through attendee feedback, further review of the leadership video series, and expert opinion. The recommendations were distributed to the CAEP Academic Section for further feedback and updated by consensus of the expert panel.ResultsThe methods informed the panel who framed recommendations around four themes: 1) leadership preparation and training, 2) self-reflection/emotional intelligence, 3) academic leadership skills, and 4) gender balance in academic EM leadership. The recommendations aimed to support and nurture the next generation of academic EM leaders in Canada and included leadership mentors, availability of formal educational courses/programs in leadership, self-directed education of aspiring leaders, creation of a Canadian subgroup with the AACEM/SAEM Chair Development Program, and gender balance in leadership roles.ConclusionsThese recommendations serve as a roadmap for all EM leaders (and aspiring leaders) to build on their success, inspire their colleagues, and foster the next generation of Canadian EM academic leaders.

The Uk

In the UK the title ‘professor’ is generally applied only to the most senior academics – equivalent to North American full professors – and whom anecdotal evidence indicates to be often unprepared for the increasingly expansive academic leadership roles that they are expected to fulfil. The study reported in this paper was directed at exploring the reliability of such evidence, and the ways in which professors develop or prepare themselves, or are developed or prepared by others, for what are generally considered their professorial academic leadership roles. Data were gathered by questionnaires and interviews, revealing that excessive professorial workloads often result from confusion about what constitutes academic leadership and precisely what and how much is expected of professors. Yet despite an evident dearth of ‘official’, designated, academic leadership preparation and/or development provision, professors were resourceful in drawing upon their experience, networks and intellectual capacity to develop ways of becoming and being effective members of the professoriate.

This study provides an in-depth look at the practices of leadership in selected Malaysian Universities that have been identified as academic leadership. The findings of this study support the fundamental elements that have been previously identified by researchers and professional organizations, as academic leadership. Specifically, academic leaders focus on learning and teaching for students in relation to instructor development.This study employs a qualitative research approach. Thematic method was used to analyze the data. Data were collected through in-depth interview. Based on the findings of this study leadership works towards the future of the university through the development and involvement of instructors to facilitate teaching and learning at Malaysian universities.Based on the obtained results, Malaysian universities planned through sustained programs of educational development to use principles of learning and teaching effectively in designing learning environments for students.  Secondly, academics need a supportive culture to put these principles into practice. To date creating learning culture depends not only on well-educated, well-meaning individual academics, but also on an academic community working together to create a student-centered attitude.

The Epilogue considers the semantic and poetological connections between words and weaving, and offers a broader perspective that brings in Tennyson, Waterhouse, and William Morris. Through Aristophanes and Plato it reflects on the cultural, social, and generic expectations of weaving and gender. Female voice is considered, in response to Samuel Butler but also in light of recent scholarship, translation, and literature that has changed the gender balance of Homeric studies. The Epilogue situates this book at a turning point, and reiterates its place in the discourse. Again through Morris, it returns to the all-important issue of representation, offering a final reflection on the particular status of objects in poetry.

This study aims to observe the influence of inclusion of mobile learning in Business Schools on students’ performance and gender based faculty members’ performance in business schools in Karachi, Pakistan. The functions offered in mobile phones include the access to information of real-time, medium of communication, and host of affordances. Nevertheless, along with the opportunities and incentives the mobile devices carry opportunities for students to involve in academic dishonesty, deviation and distraction from the assigned tasks. By employing quantitative research method, this study tends to conduct an experiment to explore if faculty members in business schools perform differently based on their different genders with the inclusion of mobile learning. The result of the study reveals no difference between the performance of male and female faculty members with the inclusion of mobile learning by implementing the Google Class into their regular classes. Therefore, this study recommends the academic leaders, curriculum designers, and educationists in the field of business education to pay attention on the inclusion of mobile learning, as it is equally beneficial to students and faculty members regardless of their different genders.

Pemerintah melalui DPRM Ristekdikti mendorong perguruan tinggi untuk menumbuhkembangkan jiwa wirausaha mahasiswa. Hal ini sangat relevan dengan tagline Universitas Muria Kudus (UMK) yang mengusung motto �Santun, Cerdas dan Berjiwa Wirausaha� sehingga diharapkan lulusan UMK nantinya mandiri menciptakan lapangan kerja sendiri. PPK ini dapat menyiapkan mahasiswa agar mandiri secara finansial sebelum mereka lulus, sehingga tidak bergantung pada pekerjaan � pekerjaan yang disediakan oleh pemerintah maupun dunia industri. Tujuan dari program PPK adalah menghasilkan wirausahawan baru. Pada tahun 2019 terwujud 5 usaha baru yang dijalankan oleh 20 mahasiswa dan alumni dari prodi PBI, Manajemen Bisnis, Teknik Mesin dan Agroteknologi. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan ini menggunakan teknik coaching & mentoring. Usaha � usaha yang dirintis oleh tenant tersebut adalah budidaya adenium, budidaya jamur tiram, angkringan kopi SEKOPPI, angkringan sushi dan steak, serta sablon. Keberhasilan program ini dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor, baik faktor pendamping dalam hal ini tim pengabdi maupun faktor mahasiswa. Faktor mahasiswa diantaranya adanya spirit yang lahir dari lingkungan keluarga yang juga memiliki usaha, transformasi nilai yang dilakukan secara akumulatif dalam keluarga dan lingkungan yang mendukung serta adanya bakat yang memungkinkan mahasiswa mudah menerima motivasi untuk melakukan kegiatan yang berorientasi pada munculnya kreativitas dan atau inovasi sebagai ciri utama wirausaha.�Entrepreneurship Development Program (PPK) issued by the Ristekdikti DPRM offers more opportunities for the academic community in higher education to foster entrepreneurial spirit for students in particular. This is very relevant to Universitas Muria Kudus (UMK)�s tagline, "Polite, smart and entrepreneurial". UMK graduates are expected to independently create their own jobs, therefore they will not depend on jobs provided by the government or the industry. PPK aims at creating students to be financially independent as entrepreneurs. In the first year, 2019 PPK program yielded 5 new business tenants among 20 tenants consisting students and alumni of English Education Department, Business Management, Agriculture, and Mechanical Engineering department. To run the program, the methods used were coaching and mentoring. �The businesses which are established by the tenants are Adenium farm, oyster mushroom farm, SEKOPPI coffee shop, sushi and steak, and screen printing. The success of this program is influenced by many factors, both the accompanying factors in this case the service team and student factors. Student factors include the presence of a spirit that is born from a family environment that also has a business, the transformation of values carried out accumulatively in the family and a supportive environment and the talent that allows students to easily receive motivation to carry out activities oriented to the emergence of creativity and or innovation as the main characteristic of entrepreneurship. The program which is arranged must be adjusted to the students� characteristics in the millennium era by maximizing the use of information technology and implemented with an appropriate approach. This conclusion was obtained from observations during the program.

In this volume’s rich survey of women’s print media in the interwar period, it might be surprising to find a chapter on feminist writing in religious periodicals – that is, if one assumes that Britain’s religious traditions were inhospitable contexts for feminist organising during this time period. But that assumption would not be entirely correct. The Anglican, Catholic, and Jewish communities in Britain – the three traditions explored here – certainly clung to theological and institutional structures that prevented women from moving freely or quickly into leadership roles. But these communities were never homogenous and their members expressed a wide range of attitudes about gender, sexuality, and women’s roles, some of which were highly progressive and found their way into print. The changing social and gender norms of the interwar period were much debated topics in Britain’s religious communities, and through their engagement with religious media, women found ways to influence those debates.
