This article considers Native American/indigenous (women's) theatre from the perspective of performing indigeneities/embodied spiritualities, in relation to ceremonial and ‘cotidian’ ri(gh)t(e)s, and the practice of personal and collective autonomy as a ri(gh)t(e). I situate my discussion within particular sites of the performance of indigeneity and the embodiment of spirituality in Chiapas, Mexico, where my research has taken me, within my own work with a performance course I created at the University of California, Davis, and within critical perspectives offered in Native American studies. I also provide some commentary on the two related gatherings that took place at the Centro Hemisférico/FOMMA, in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, August 2008, and the Actions of Transfer: Women's Performance in the Americas conference at UCLA, November 2008. Both events were co-sponsored by the Hemispheric Institute on Performance and Politics of NYU and they were announced on the UCLA website as ‘sister’ events. In August 2008, FOMMA officially became a ‘branch’ centre of the Hemispheric Institute.

Time To Graduation

The time it takes a student to graduate with a university degree is mitigated by a variety of factors such as their background, the academic performance at university, and their integration into the social communities of the university they attend. Different universities have different populations, student services, instruction styles, and degree programs, however, they all collect institutional data. This study presents data for 160,933 students attending a large American research university. The data includes performance, enrollment, demographics, and preparation features. Discrete time hazard models for the time-to-graduation are presented in the context of Tinto’s Theory of Drop Out. Additionally, a novel machine learning method: gradient boosted trees, is applied and compared to the typical maximum likelihood method. We demonstrate that enrollment factors (such as changing a major) lead to greater increases in model predictive performance of when a student graduates than performance factors (such as grades) or preparation (such as high school GPA).

This article also tries to compare the situation of a student sports person injured while participating in university sports, and a drama student injured during a performance or rehearsal of a play. It is stated that the relationship between the drama student and lecturer is similar to the relationship between a sports person and his/her coach, but the relationship differs in that a sports person’s risk of getting hurt is much greater than that of a drama student, The contracts between sports players and their authorities are also stipulated in much more detail than the contracts (if any) between the drama students and the university. It is concluded that the legislation is not clear on the specific matters where a student undergoes practical training while they are still studying. The suggestion is that a sectoral determination must be put in place to regulate the relationship, the remuneration, the working hours and the working conditions and risks involved.

In NTQ 30 (1992) Dorothy Knowles provided a description and explication of the recent work of the visionary French director Armand Gatti. For what he calls his ‘plural writing’ projects, Gatti has increasingly come to recruit not actors but ‘actors’: those exclus or rejects who have been marginalized by society, but whose histories need both to be reclaimed and, in the process, given back to them – together with the dignity of which they have so often been stripped. Whether developing a performance within the close confines of a prison, or accommodating the constraints of ‘the system’ at the Avignon Festival, Gatti's voice and theatre are entirely distinctive – as also, paradoxically, is his ability to speak with and for the unheard voices of others. Here, he speaks for himself, describing both the inspiration and the evolution of his work in a style which characteristically combines pragmatism with lyricism. The article derives from a series of interviews conducted in 1991 by Hélène Châtelain – an actress who has worked with Gatti since 1966 – and first published in Le Monde Diplomatique for February 1992. The translator for NTQ, Wesley Hutchinson, wrote his doctoral thesis on Gatti at Trinity College, Dublin, and now lectures in the English Department of the University of Paris, Nanterre.

Digitization of documents ensures efficient, quick, and cost saving of official documentation. It would realize the concept of digital campus and green technology. It also in line with the ISO 15489 — Information and Documentation—Records Management 2001. The digitization of the university documents is made centralized at the Center for Knowledge and Communication Services. The undertaking was approved by the university’s administration in 2016. The idea was that the office monitors the work flows of the document digitization from the initiation phase to completion phase. The study that took place in 2016 had made the office the first department where the study was carried out. Later, it will be implemented by the other departments. The digitization processes were developed by data management unit and the implementation was accomplished by the Knowledge and Communication Services Centre. The whole operation is performed by seven personnel that consists of one assistant information technology officer and six assistant operational officers. This work identifies the factors that affect the performance of document management. It tackles the perception of university employees who are engaged in administrative and management of documentation. The idea is to enhance the management performance on the digitization of the organization records. A total of 80 respondents from the faculty and the non-academic units or centers were selected to participate in the survey. The questionnaire has a 0.944 level of the reliability (Cronbach's α). It is greater than 0.7 that indicates the survey instrument is reliable. The data was processed through exploratory factor analysis to see the structure of the organization’s performance factors. The results pinpoint the key elements that would affect the performance of document management. It is concluded that the important elements in increasing the efficiency of managing documentations in the university may be identified.

This paper aims to provide a critical analysis of using flipped learning as a teaching method in Higher Education.A study of using filpped learning was carried out within the context of a module on the undergraduate law degree programme at the University of Sheffield.Prior to the study, flipped hearing had not been attempted on an undergraduate law module at the University.Sutdents undertaking the module were asked to complete a survey, and quantative comments were collated. These results will be presented and analysed in this paper. This paper also draws on academic literature to compare perspectives of incorporating this method of teaching into the HE curriculum.This paper summarises the reasons for carrying out the study, together with the key findings from this study. The key conclusions of the paper focus primarily on the benefits of incorporating flipped learning into teaching - with the central benefits being deeper learning for students, and increased engagement in the subject matter. The paper also comments on some of the challenges of this teaching method - the central challenges being the need for consistency and clear signposting, together with a large investment of time by staff in implementing such a teaching method.

This study explored performance differences between corporate-owned and operated and franchised outlets in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry. While studies have shown that there is a performance difference favouring franchisees, the reasons for this difference have not been explained. Using the Resource-Based View of the Firm, the operational differences between two ownership modes within the same franchise ecosystem were assessed. The study used qualitative data collected from twenty interviews with a broad range of stakeholders across a single South Africa quick-service restaurant brand that included company-owned and operated stores and franchised operations. The study identified a range of performance factors: franchisee motivation, franchisee empowerment and flexibility, manager focus, opportunity realisation, corporate rigidity and tactical restaurant management that contribute to enhancing the entrepreneurial resources and orientation that, along with strategic flexibility, provide franchisees with a performance advantage. This study has implications for those in the QSR sector and the hospitality industry in general, detailing what drives or hinders firm performance. This research has value for theoreticians in its novel application of the Resource-Based View of the Firm theory to a franchise-based entrepreneurial environment.
