Global Reach

By clarifying roles through partnerships, the neglect of education and research in policy studies of infrastructure can be remedied, and the public works profession can develop a clear vision of its education and research needs and responsibilities. The American Public Works Association (APWA) has key roles to play, and by using their resources in partnership with K-12 schools and higher education, local chapters can reach out to assist in education and research to benefit both the public works profession and educational institutions. A revitalized APWA education and research program could strengthen the organization and have a global reach. APWA should sort out the cross-cutting and common education themes needed by the public works industry, defining roles that can, in partnerships with others, be implemented clearly and effectively.

 Este artigo aborda o tema Ensino Religioso na educação pública brasileira. Tem-se como objetivo descrever o posicionamento dos professores sobre a presença do Ensino Religioso na Escola Pública Municipal Pesquisada (EPMP), em Pinheiro, município do estado do Maranhão. Para isso, optou-se pelo estudo de caso, como procedimento metodológico de pesquisa, e as entrevistas, como instrumento para a coleta de dados. Ressalta-se que, dos 14 professores da EPMP, definidos para as entrevistas, apenas 11 responderam às questões. A partir dos dados coletados, constatou-se que as posições dos professores sobre o Ensino Religioso na escola pública de Ensino Fundamental não são baseadas no princípio da laicidade, da diversidade, da pluralidade de ideias, de opiniões, de crenças. As visões são “limitadas” e controversas, bem como transgridem as leis, as resoluções e os documentos normativos que fundamentam o Ensino Religioso.Palavras-chave: Ensino Religioso. Educação.

Potential Impact

In assessing the prospective utility or value of a research program there are three important considerations: (1) potential impact the research will have on the scientific field involved, (2) probable benefits to industry or the public sector and (3) probability of success of projects in achieving these goals. Various studies have been made that emphasize the first and second objectives, i.e., trying to determine both scientific merit and economic value or return on investment in research projects and programs. This paper will be concerned with the latter objective; estimating the probable success of projects which were part of an organized agricultural research program conducted by USDA over a 25 year period.

Joshua Lederberg

This chapter compares Esther Lederberg’s role with that of other notable women scientists whose achievements exhibited creative laboratory skills. Esther’s career peaked in 1956 when the Society of Illinois Bacteriologists jointly bestowed the Pasteur Medal on the Lederberg couple. Usually, Joshua Lederberg was the public face of their research program. Esther’s place was behind the laboratory doors where she managed the lab and performed the experiments. For over a hundred years, this was the typical arrangement for women and their male associates. Prestigious faculty positions and accolades were unattainable for so many women in science. For Esther and many of her female colleagues, the thrill of discovery was enough reward. Esther valued the camaraderie of the brilliant personalities that made up the circle of pioneering researchers. Stanley Falkow called her a kind of Boswell of bacterial genetics. Her extensive photographic collection is a who’s who of molecular biology, many as their younger selves.

The Public

The public-choice–inspired research program associated with Elinor Ostrom and her collaborators identified eight design principles, noting that they characterize robust institutions for communities managing common-pool resources such as forests or fisheries. Ostrom’s principles for sustainable community-based natural resource management have emerged as an important contribution to applied research on governance in general. Since then, many studies have explicitly or implicitly assessed these design principles. This chapter reviews the principles, surveys the studies that have revisited and evaluated them, and discusses some of the implications of this line of research, at both the theoretical-methodological level and the applied level.
