Who should be the great educators and masters of Argentinian Rheumatology? One would think they should be the best ones! But are they the best ones? What ought to be the selection criteria for such a distinguished and honourable position? Our society demands: “All of those who have turned 65 years old and who, thanks to their academic work, have trained young rheumatologists”. How the latter were trained... do we know? As mere technicians or as humane professionals? The academic training of a pupil of Rheumatology, as in this case, must be comprehensive. Not only the technical but also the human aspect is of the utmost importance. An educator converses, is true to an ideal, gives up/sacrifices enrichment and reveals their weak points.

Challenges And Opportunities

Humanities research is extremely relevant for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. But despite the growing corpus of humanities research, there are few explicit translation mechanisms from academic work to broader communities. Building off of such a premise, this paper looks at where knowledge translation is occurring in other fields and what lessons might be learned for the wider and more efficient circulation of humanities work.

How does being with the sea change how we write about the sea? This article is constructed as a reflective/reflexive consideration of being at sea as part of an experimental week-long symposium held on board an 80-foot yacht in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand, in early 2016. The event focused on the ways society lives with the sea in the 21st century – how awareness is raised and action is instigated – in light of growing threats to ocean spaces worldwide. While generating conversation on this theme, the location of the symposium was also pivotal in generating embodied knowledge of the topic under investigation. This article follows the afterthoughts of the symposium organiser (an outdoor educator and professional yacht skipper) and an attendee (a geographer of the sea, non-swimmer and first-time sailor). It investigates how academic events that take place in place – in this case at sea – may generate unique knowledge on conference themes, and for academic work more generally, by opening up new experiential worlds.

Entrepreneurship in general brings with it certain challenges and risks, which generate a long learning path before reaching success; Colombia for example, there is a complex panorama, the entrepreneurs are limited, and the entrepreneurship projects are not executed with totality. Therefore, the article´ objective is to identify the main factors that impede the work of undertaking in Colombia; supported by sources of descriptive information from previous studies focused on the transition from academia to industry, which were elaborated by recent students and graduates students in Colombia. The above, allowed to synthesize that the main obstacles of entrepreneurship are framed in collective and cultural thinking, or academic training in the face of entrepreneurship where a bureaucracy, tramitology and innovation end with the visible need to restructure sociocultural and business models, generating an efficient and constant transition that leads to the economic development of the country increasing, in turn, the quality of life of society.

Abstract Over recent decades, tensions arising from the ways universities operate have become increasingly apparent. While there have been ongoing ambitions to reduce traditional bureaucratic mechanisms and ‘red tape’ within universities, there has been mounting concern internationally that the administrative dimensions of academic work are becoming increasingly burdensome (a phenomenon also referred to as ‘academic bureaucratization’). This article explores how a specific administrative device used at Australian universities—the ‘key selection criteria’ (KSC) that applicants have to address in writing when applying for academic positions—manifests academic bureaucratization. The analyses of the size, composition, and content of 273 sets of KSC conducted for this article suggest that academic bureaucratization at Australian universities is well entrenched, fueled by the sedimentation of and redundancy in formal elements, and is further reinforced by vacuously-worded requirements reflecting attitudes of indifference, complacency, or cynicism if considering the prospective informational value of applicants’ response.

A Current

Administrators of programs for children with communicative disorders in 11 midwestern states were surveyed to assess trends in the training and utilization of paraprofessionals. Topics included: (a) current trends in employment, (b) paraprofessional training, (c) use of ASHA and state guidelines, and (d) district policies for supervision. Selection criteria, use of job descriptions, training programs, and supervision practices and policies were examined. Results indicate that paraprofessionals are used but that standards for training and supervision are not consistently applied across all programs. Program administrators report minimal training for supervising professionals.
