Effective Collaboration

This study aims to examine how “One Country, Two Systems” has shaped and influenced the collaboration on cross-boundary air pollution control between the governments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Guangdong province. The presence of the Chinese central government significantly fostered the start of this collaboration, but the implementation and collaborative relationship were relatively weak and unsustainable due to the two local governments’ largely different interests, goals and political demands. We found that the emphasis on “One Country” especially after 2003 led to the signature of more joint agreements in comparison with what the emphasis on “Two Systems” did between 1997 and 2003. Joint agreements appear to be necessary conditions for effective collaboration, but too many of them without satisfying implementation could have resulted in less concrete benefits. A balanced stress on “One Country” and “Two Systems” might bring an appropriate number of joint agreements with good implementation for more effective collaboration.

Effective Collaboration

This twin register was organized as a resource for studies on the eye. It has been possible to share this resource with other disciplines through effective collaboration. Conversely, only through the assistance of other investigators who are working with twins, will it be practical to undertake certain studies which are important in ophthalmology. The purpose of this presentation is to convey a description of our register and some of its limitations, and to specify the need for collaboration with others.The original purpose in assembling this register was to identify a group of twins readily available for multiple clinical examinations. Since the first examining facility was to be located near the National Institutes of Health, practical considerations required that twin residence be limited to the metropolitan Washington, D. C. area. Twins of all ages were included in the register, since proposed investigations pertained to different age categories. No effort was made to select twins through randomization procedures; all twins who were identified were invited to membership in the register. A variety of methods were used to locate twins, including contact with schools and clubs, but the largest proportion of registrants were recommended by other twins.Twins were offered a thorough eye examination, along with the solicitation of their interest in participating in future research activities. The clinical examination was offered for the following reasons:1) To encourage informed interest in proposed future investigations by acquainting the twins with our facility and purpose;2) To perform base-line observations, so as to identify and enumerate ocular characteristics as an aid in selecting subsets of twins for future studies;3) To obtain data for possible estimates of heritability of selected ocular characteristics.

Over Time

States’ increasing recognition of Indigenous rights in the realm of natural resources has led to a variety of co-management arrangements and other forms of melded authority, evolving over time into increasingly complex governance relationships. This article takes up such relationships within the analytical frame of multilevel governance, seeking lessons from the experiences of Indigenous involvement in water policy in Canada’s Northwest Territories (NWT). It examines the way that effective collaboration in resource governance can emerge within the space of tension between evolving Indigenous rights regimes and the continued sovereignty of the state. At the same time, the analysis raises questions about whether multilevel governance can contribute to meaningful decolonization of relationships between settler states and Indigenous Peoples.

Effective Collaboration

<p>This thesis investigates the practices of participants in three “clusters” of New Zealand schools associated with the Extending High Standards Across Schools (EHSAS) project funded by the Ministry of Education from 2005 to 2009. The investigation addresses four questions: (i) What collaborative practices were used by the participants in the EHSAS clusters? (ii) Do the research participants perceive the collaborative practices that they used as making a difference to student achievement? (iii) What do the participants perceive as the benefits and limitations of collaborative practice? (iv) How consistent are participants’ perceptions with research findings in the field? The thesis begins by searching national and international research in order to define effective collaboration. It is argued that across certain relevant studies, the key purposes of collaboration are for teachers and students to learn and improve in order to reach the common goal set by the cluster. Associated practices can be used to build skills and knowledge in teachers, school leaders, and cluster members. Following this, a Grounded Theory approach was used to analyse and interpret data that emerged from the three clusters’ milestone reports and interviews with cluster members. The analysis found that the leaders of EHSAS clusters believed that shared leadership across principals is essential to cluster work, and that a hierarchical cluster structure is the best way to transmit knowledge from leaders to teachers. They also believed that if they shared resources, ideas, strengths and expertise with one another they would then have knowledge that would be useful to teachers wanting to change and improve their practices, and raise student achievement. Despite some of their beliefs being consistent with research literature on effective collaboration, according to the literature, many of the EHSAS leaders’ practices would not have enabled the learning and improvement that they espoused to be leading. The final chapter of this thesis identifies where EHSAS leaders’ beliefs and practices were inconsistent and what this means for future research and the implementation of similar projects aiming to promote collaboration across schools.</p>

And Performance

Facilitating effective collaboration with teaching faculty (TF) for the purposes of student success and performance is often a priority for academic librarians (AL). The topic of effective partnerships between these two groups has received a great deal of scholarly attention within the field of library and information science (LIS). However, in practice, harmonious working relationships can be difficult to establish and maintain. This is in part due to the lack of understanding of the role and status of AL by TF. The existing divide between these parties has led to discourse and dismissive actions on the part of TF that may be perceived by some AL as microaggressive. While some work has been done on microaggressions in higher education, little quantitative data exists on status-based microaggressions by TF towards AL and its effect on collaboration in the context of information literacy (IL). In early 2016, the researchers surveyed U.S. and Canadian AL in order to collect data on perceived status-based microaggressive experiences. Analysis of the data indicates that status-based microaggressions, although not ubiquitous, do exist. Moreover, the data indicates that some librarians may experience more frequent instances of status-based microaggressions based on self-reported demographic characteristics.

Introduction. The article outlines the directions of interaction of SMEs with banks, attention is focused on mutually beneficial cooperation of entities market economy because of the interdependence of their relationship. It is confirmed that the interaction between SMEs and banks in the process of financial intermediation is carried out by mutual influence that happens within the existing communications and is accompanied by the exchange of resources and their obligations based on operational needs and financial capabilities and economic feasibility. Purpose. For effective collaboration and interaction between SMEs and banks it is necessary to implement the motivational principles at the regional level through the development of market infrastructure. On the first phase should be solved the problem of matching supply and demand of credit resources, mainly through refinancing of banks according to the needs of SMEs. Results. The next phase requires implementation of customer-oriented strategy of SMEs’ needs on the part of banks by systematization and standardization of banking products. Ideal variants for meeting the needs of SME banking products – are special loan programs, which are clustered approaches indeed. Conclusion. It is proved that the interaction of SMEs and banks is carried out by mutual influence between them in the process of sharing resources and obligations within financial contracts. Such interaction is based on operational needs and financial possibilities, economic expediency.
