TL;DR: In this article, an online strategy project at Legal Aid in Western Australia is described, with an overview of eGovernment and the Western Australian Government context, and then discusses the research model and methodology.
Abstract: Looks at an online strategy project at Legal Aid in Western Australia. Begins with an overview of e‐government and the Western Australian Government context, and then discusses the research model and methodology. Gives a background to the case and analyses the change management process against a comprehensive model of business process change. Concludes with some lessons learned and future directions for research in this area.

TL;DR: CMJ1 Flight time appears to be the most useful variable for monitoring neuromuscular status in elite ARF players due to its substantial change compared with 48pre and prematch.
Abstract: Purpose: To examine the acute and short-term responses of variables obtained during a single countermovement jump (CMJ1); repeated countermovement jump involving 5 consecutive efforts without a pause (CMJ5); and cortisol, testosterone, and testos-terone-to-cortisol ratio (T:C) to an elite Australian Rules Football (ARF) match with a view to determining which variables may be most useful for ongoing monitoring. Methods: Twenty-two elite ARF players participating in a preseason cup match performed a CMJ1 and a CMJ5 and provided saliva samples 48 h before the match (48pre), prematch (Pre), postmatch, 24 h post (24post), 72 h post (72post), 96 h post (96post), and 120 h post (120post). The magnitude of change in variables at each time point compared with Pre and 48pre was analyzed using the effect size (ES) statistic. Results: A substantial decrement in the pre- to postmatch comparison occurred in the ratio of CMJ1 Flight time:Contraction time (ES −0.65 ± 0.28). Cortisol (ES 2.34 ± 1.06) and T:C (ES −0.52 ± 0...

TL;DR: A qualitative study of higher-order thinking as students use an interactive multimedia program based on a situated learning framework was conducted by as mentioned in this paper. But, the analysis of types of talk used by students as they worked with the program clearly showed that the majority of their thinking was higher order, as defined by Resnick and other theorists Social, procedural and lower-order talk was less evident but present in their talk in reduced proportions.
Abstract: This paper describes a qualitative study into students’ use of higher-order thinking as they use an interactive multimedia program based on a situated learning framework The analysis of types of talk used by students as they worked with the program clearly shows that the majority of their thinking was higher order, as defined by Resnick (1987) and other theorists Social, procedural and lower-order talk was less evident but present in their talk in reduced proportions These findings suggest that a multimedia program based on a situated learning approach can provide a learning environment capable of supporting and maintaining substantial levels of higher-order thinking Many educators and researchers discuss the importance of engaging students in activities which require more than the simple application of rules and procedures Collins, Brown, and Newman (1989) contend that few educational resources (including interactive multimedia) are devoted to higherorder problem solving activities, and few activities require students to use cognitive and metacognitive strategies and processes While higher-order thinking might most simply be described as “all intellectual tasks that call for more than information retrieval” (Baker, 1990), Lewis and Smith (1993) give a more comprehensive definition: “Higher-order thinking occurs when a person takes new information and information stored in memory and interrelates and/or rearranges and extends this information to achieve a purpose or find possible answers in perplexing situations” (p 136)

TL;DR: In this article, detonation nanodiamonds were constructed as a characteristic core/shell structure in the sp 2 /sp 3 configuration to demonstrate the intrinsic correlation between the structure and catalysis.
Abstract: Nanocarbons in molecular configurations of sp 2 /sp 3 present versatile structural and electronic properties, exhibiting a complexity in the structure-activity chemistry. In this work, we employed detonation nanodiamonds constructed as a characteristic core/shell structure in the sp 2 /sp 3 configuration to demonstrate the intrinsic correlation between the structure and catalysis. Annealed detonation nanodiamonds were found to show a superb activity for catalytic peroxymonosulfate activation and organic oxidation. A synergistic effect of charge transport was discovered at the interface to construct an electron-enriched carbon surface that further promoted the catalytic activity evidenced by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. More importantly, both experimental results and theoretical predictions revealed that the catalytic oxidation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation was intimately dependent on the proportion of graphitic carbon layer in the sp 2 /sp 3 configurations. The increase of graphitic layers on nanodiamonds would alter the PMS activation from a radical-based reaction to a nonradical pathway for catalytic oxidation. The novel catalytic properties of tunable oxidative potentials from carbocatalysis may simulate fascinating prospects for environmental catalysis and organic synthesis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that the repeated-bout effect was not dependent on the shift of optimum angle, and all groups showed significantly reduced changes in criterion measures following ECC2 compared with the ECC1 100% bout.
Abstract: This study compared the effect of four different intensities of initial eccentric exercise (ECC1) on optimum angle shift and extent of muscle damage induced by subsequent maximal eccentric exercise...
