The Relationship

Abstract Consumption emotions are not always considered when satisfaction with library services is assessed. In this research, consumption emotions perceived by users of eight different libraries of a Mexican higher education institution are identified when using library services. Laros and Steenkamp. 2005. “Emotions in Consumer Behavior: A Hierarchical Approach.” Journal of Business Research 58: 1437–45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2003.09.013 hierarchical scale was used to assess library users’ consumption emotions. The relationship between those emotions and the users’ satisfaction is then established and analyzed using both descriptive statistics analysis and an entropy-oriented machine learning approach. The first approach suggests that users feel more positive consumption emotions (contentment and happiness) than negative emotions (anger). The entropy analysis shows that the identified consumption emotions have a great prediction power over the satisfaction level that users will manifest. This research contributes to the issue of satisfaction assessment by including library users’ consumption emotions in Mexico.

Flipped Classrooms

While current research on the flipped classroom generally focuses on test results and (or) student/teacher perceptions as a measurement of its pedagogical efficacy, students' adaptation to it and the essential conditions for its application are rarely explored. This exploratory case study aims to rectify this by examining how university students adapted to flipped classrooms implemented in a public university in East China. The findings suggest that while the flipped model is impeded by entrenched polarity between students in terms of their learning dispositions and academic competence, students do develop a prototype of theories of learning, a sense of better self through learning from their peers and an awareness of the importance of intrinsic motivation. A gradualist approach is thus proposed for implementing flipped classrooms, which requires longitudinal studies accordingly to understand its long-term effects on learning behavior hitherto left unexplored.

Choosing a career as an Islamic teacher has many challenges as well as fun, not everyone is interested in this profession except those who have strong motivation. This study aims to find out the real motivation of students to select department of Islamic teaching education in public university, even though this department is widely offered by state and private Islamic universities. This study uses qualitative methods with a case study approach (case study design). Sources of data were taken from thirty informants through in-depth interviews selected using a purposive sampling technique, all informants were active students who chose the department of Islamic teaching education at Padang State University in 2017, 2018 and 2019. All interviews were analyzed thematically using the NVivo 10 qualitative analysis software. The results of the analysis showed that there were seven motivations of students to select department of Islamic teaching education. Those seven motivations are: i) self-will, ii) parents' encouragement, iii) choice to become a religious teacher, iv) job opportunities after graduation, v) desire to study at public universities vi) opportunity to spread dakwah, vii) to deepen Islamic knowledge. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for subsequent researchers to examine this problem in different contexts and issues.

Valuation Methods

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess how technology transfer offices (TTOs) of a public university of the state of São Paulo use patent valuation methods in the process of using developed technology value and transferring technology to industry. Design/methodology/approach This study is an exploratory qualitative investigation based on a case study conducted in a public university in the state of São Paulo. The university has a TTO and an internal structure for technology transfer. In-depth interviews were conducted with the TTO manager about patent valuation and the answers given were analysed. Findings The results on how TTOs use patent valuation methods in the process of assigning value to technology indicate which factors facilitate and which factors hinder the valuation of patents in technologies developed at universities. Research limitations/implications The possible lack of data disclosure due to confidentiality regarding royalties and trading fees makes further comparisons between Brazilian public universities difficult. Therefore, this study recommends that further studies on patent valuation and technology transfer process at private universities, research institutes and public and private companies should be performed. Practical implications In the practice, this study contributes to companies and TTOs by increasing their synergies in licensing negotiations, as well as by reducing the gap of information, between the business parties for assignment and transfer of technologies. With regard to theoretical contribution, this study can cite advances in the methods to measure the financial benefits arising from the valuation of technologies embedded in the patents. Originality/value Owing to the lack of research on the methods of valuation used by TTOs of Brazilian universities, the present study can be useful in serving as a theoretical source for future research and in supporting future TTO negotiations in the process of transferring technologies to productive industry.

When University R&D institutions perform projects to create technology solutions, they produce knowledge and learn. The basic idea proposed in this article is that one of the fuels that produce such a dynamic process is the organization’s knowledge energy. When it flows in multidisciplinary projects within and outside an organization's borders, it also produces recurrent learning along each technology prototype improvement. Through the years this dynamic is capable of producing substantial transformations and empower R&D institutions, as we found in the transformation of the Applied Sciences and Technological Development Center into the Applied Sciences and Technology Institute of the National Autonomous University in México. This is a limited case study.

Born-digital materials are fleeting and fragile, yet digital preservation has been a challenge with its evolving methods and technical requirements. Added to this, many libraries, archives, and museums lack broad capacity to preserve born-digital materials with confidence. This case study offers an example of how one minimally resourced public university navigated the landscape to establish a born-digital preservation program. It distills the immense literature into practical, manageable actions while utilizing limited resources to meet feasible goals. In recognizing the hurdles that can keep an institution from taking steps to establish a digital preservation program, this case study seeks to empower librarians, archivists, and museum professionals as it traces a process that can serve as a foundation for maintaining and incrementally growing a robust digital preservation program.

Safe Learning Environment

It is crucial that, at the point of registration, midwives can competently interpret intrapartum cardiotocographs (CTGs). It is therefore important that practice assessors are confident teaching the safe and accurate interpretation of CTGs to the students they support. This paper uses a case study to examine how CTG interpretation can be taught most effectively. Humanistic learning theories can be used to create a psychologically safe-learning environment which is enjoyable for both the student and the practice assessor. Using a taxonomy of learning enables midwives to help the student develop higher order thinking skills, while understanding the learning style of that individual student allows midwives to incorporate tailored teaching in their clinical work. In addition to providing feedback, it is beneficial to encourage self-reflection and the student midwife's newly learned skills can be solidified by peer teaching.
