TL;DR: This paper provides an introduction to some of the relevant literature and presents a synthesis, presented in the form of a functional methodology for managing groundwater dependent ecosystems.
Abstract: In the past, the phrase ‘environmental allocations of water’ has most often been taken to mean allocation of water to rivers. However, it is now accepted that groundwater-dependent ecosystems are an important feature of Australian landscapes and require an allocation of water to maintain their persistence in the landscape. However, moving from this theoretical realisation to the provision and implementation of a field-based management regime is extremely difficult. The following four fundamental questions are identified as being central to the effective management of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs): (1) How do we identify GDEs in the field; put another way, which species or species assemblages or habitats are reliant on a supply of groundwater for their persistence in the landscape; (2) what groundwater regime is required to ensure the persistence of a GDE; (3) how can managers of natural resources (principally water and habitats), with limited time, money and other resources, successfully manage GDEs; and (4) what measures of ecosystem function can be monitored to ensure that management is effective? This paper explicitly addresses these questions and provides a step-by-step theoretical and practical framework for providing answers. In particular, this paper provides an introduction to some of the relevant literature and from this, presents a synthesis, presented in the form of a functional methodology for managing groundwater dependent ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate how the techniques of unit root testing, cointegration, vector error-correction modelling (VECM) and forecast error variance decomposition (VDC) analysis, may be used to shed some light on these concerns in the context of six major international stock markets.

TL;DR: To identify critical success factors of project management and categorize them into five criteria groups, it is shown that the organization, external environment and sustainability are “cause” criteria, while project and project management are identified as “effects”.

TL;DR: A study of 30 undergraduate nurses and their use of reflective diaries during a period of community health care practice and the findings are that, in the sample used, students do reflect on their practice according to Mezirow's levels of reflectivity, but that the highest number of reflections occur at the lower levels ofreflectivity.
Abstract: The writing of a reflective diary is viewed as an effective tool for promoting reflection and learning in students, and for self-assessment and evaluation of a clinical learning experience. This work is a study of 30 undergraduate nurses and their use of reflective diaries during a period of community health care practice. The theoretical basis of the study is based on Schon's work on reflection-in-action. The research tool, developed for the study of nursing practice by Powell, is based on Mezirow's levels of reflectivity. The findings are that, in the sample used, students do reflect on their practice according to Mezirow's levels of reflectivity, but that the highest number of reflections occur at the lower levels of reflectivity (94% of the total number of scores). However, although only 6% of the total number of scores were found at the higher levels of reflectivity, some 22 of the samples of 30 students did attain conceptual and theoretical reflectivity, the highest levels of reflectivity.
