Perspectives. We must look beyond certain triumphalist discourses of a globalized, Anglophone uniformity in order to understand better the complexity and diversity – linguistic, cultural, political – of the world in which we live. Xxxxxxxx et Xxxxxx, 2003, p. 14 Le titre ‘perspectives’ renvoie au double sens de ce terme. ‘Perspective’ signifie d’abord angle d’approche, point du vue : j’expose en effet ici l’ensemble des outils théoriques à l’aide desquels j’aborde les textes de Xxxxxxxxx dans cette étude. Mais ‘perspective’ peut également être compris dans le sens d’ouverture, d’horizon, de voie à explorer. Car la rencontre d’un appareil théorique quel qu’il soit avec un texte particulier est l’occasion de nouveaux questionnements, non seulement en direction du texte mais aussi des théories et des grilles de lecture utilisées. Ainsi, par exemple, si une ‘lecture postcoloniale’ de Monénembo permet un nouvel éclairage de son écriture, dans un mouvement de retour, une telle lecture peut mettre à jour les lacunes ou les points aveugles de cette approche théorique, et contribuer ainsi à la faire avancer. Par souci de clarté, j’ai choisi de présenter les perspectives théoriques dans des sous parties distinctes. J’y explicite chaque fois les possibilités de ces perspectives, mais aussi leurs limites et les problèmes qu’elles posent pour l’appréhension des textes africains francophones. Dans la pratique des études littéraires, les différentes approches théoriques et discursives exposées ici ne forment pas des ensembles séparés les uns des autres par des frontières qu’on pourrait tracer comme je semble le faire. Certes, les points de divergence existent, qu’ils soient historiques, idéologiques, géographiques ou linguistiques. Mais les points d’intersection sont tout aussi nombreux. Mes analyses des textes de Xxxxxxxxx montrent comment différents concepts développés, à diverses époques et en divers lieux, par différents discours et théories – postcolonialisme, francophonie littéraire, l’africanisme ou écritures migrantes – se rejoignent, se répondent et/ou se complètent pour la discussion d’un texte particulier.
Perspectives. ◼ No t e 1 The contents of many settlements are collected and published by the Workplace Directorate Branch of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. The Workplace and Employee Survey, however, contains the most comprehensive and uniform list of settlement provi- sions. Several Statistics Canada surveys such as the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, and the Labour Force Survey also contain information on several well-known provisions. Occupational health and safety Policies to reduce risk of accidents, injuries and disease in the workplace. This also includes stress. Employment equity Provisions to ensure that no one is denied employment or promotion for reasons unrelated to their ability (for exam- ple, sex, race or disability). Pay equity Policies ensuring that pay is related to the skills required to do the job regardless of who does it, and also that the pay for jobs with similar skills will be the same. Job security/layoffs Various provisions giving workers job protection in the event of automation or new production methods or products. Contracting out The hiring of a person or company from outside the busi- ness, under contract, to perform a specific task. Contract- ing out may affect career advancement and may even result in layoff. Education and training Policies allowing employees to receive education and train- ing to meet the requirements of their position and, in some cases, to advance their career. Cost-of-living adjustments A cost-of-living allowance clause provides pay increases at specified periods during the life of a contract in line with increases in the consumer price index. ◼ Re f e r en c xx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. 2002. “Unionization and fringe benefits.” Perspectives on Labour and Income (Statistics Canada, catalogue 75-001-XIE).

Perspectives. In sum, more than one out of three Dutch medical PhD candidates lack high quality motivation and/or have a high amount of low quality motivation (chapter 7). As high quality motivation improves work engagement, programme persistence and research ambitions, whilst low quality motivation increases burn-out and drop-out intentions (chapter 3, 7, 8),27,31,39-41 a substantial amount of PhD candidates are at risk of dropping out the clinician- scientist pipeline during or soon after their PhD based on their motivation. Our outcomes may contribute to understanding the widely reported increasing concerns regarding well- being and, subsequently, attrition rates in doctoral education.39,42-44 In this way, quality of motivation seem particularly important when aiming to improve the clinician-scientist pipeline and to reverse the trend towards a declining clinician-scientist workforce. According to our findings, next to improving quantity of the supply (i.e. stimulating students and doctors to enter the pipeline), we should aim to xxxxxx to the quality of this supply (i.e. motivation of students and PhD candidates). More specific, we should address threats to and improve quality of motivation for research while attracting, training and retaining (future) clinician-scientists to prevent them leaking out the pipeline. This thesis offers some insight in stimulating high quality motivation and/or limiting low quality motivation for research among (future) clinician-scientists. Within our studies, multiple constructs emerged and were examined on their relationship with high quality of motivation for research. Our studies highlighted the importance of values, positive research perceptions, relatedness, autonomy, and research self-efficacy beliefs in enhancing high quality motivation (chapter 3, 7 and 8). This is substantiated by different motivational theories; Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Expectancy Value Theory (EVT), and Self-Determination Theory (SDT). The first theory proposes that, among others, attitudes and perceived behavioural control are prerequisites for motivation, which in turn is related to a certain behaviour.45 Attitudes are a reflection of one's values.46 Attitudes as mentioned within TPB are defined as favourable or unfavourable perceptions of a certain behaviour of interest. Perceived behavioural control refers to a person's perception of the ease or difficulty of performing the behaviour of interest. This is in line with the second theory (EVT), s...
Perspectives. Summaries of published scientific papers describing work on a single research subfield. Authors of Perspectives will choose published work felt to be of great importance and editorialize about the significance of each paper. Perspectives are meant to provide context for rapidly-developing fields and encourage interest in new genres or disciplines. Because combinatorial science impacts so many diverse areas, Perspectives can have a strong impact on our readership. Perspectives are peer- reviewed and start with an unreferenced abstract of 250 words or less. They should be approximately 5000 words or less in length (6 journal pages or approximately 20 double-spaced manuscript pages), including the abstract, body text, references, tables, graphics/artwork, and figure/scheme legends. All display items (figures, tables, schemes) should be embedded with the text for easier reading in the review process. However, prior to acceptance, you will be required to upload figures as individual high resolution images (see below for more details). Authors will have significant latitude in the organization of the manuscript to promote clarity. Potential authors are strongly encouraged to seek the advice of the Editor prior to initiating work on a Perspective for the journal. Perspectives must be accompanied by a Table of Contents (TOC) graphic consisting of a colorful figure representing the topic of the Perspective.
Perspectives. A perspective is a fixed collection of views (editors, project explorers, etc) ac- cording to their aim. For example a Java perspective contains a navigator view, a source editor and normally a view showing the errors contained in the source being edited as shown in Figure 4, while a Web Design perspective might have a a different set of views like a page designer, a XML editor, etc. Only one perspec- tive can be active at a given time.

Perspectives. The knowledge base of primary mathematics teacher education (Pabo), the area in which this study takes place, can be distinguished in two ways from other fields in teacher training. In the first place the nature of the mathematical knowledge requires a constructive commitment and much effort to become ‘owner’ of the specific insights and procedures. Furthermore, the developments over the last thirty years in this area at the Dutch Pabos led to an approach of integrating subject matter, pedagogical content matter and school practice (Goffree, 1979; Goffree & Xxxx, 1995; Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, 1999). However, such an approach does not lead naturally to student teachers’ integration of theory and practice. That will perhaps happen if student teachers can use a ‘rich’ learning environment, for example the multimedia interactive learning environment MILE. Further research should show how student teachers link theory and practice if they have such a learning environment at their disposal; further study will also express the quality of their activities. Next, as mentioned in section 2.3.4, we will elaborate further on the role of theory in mathematics teacher education.

Perspectives. The aim of this session is to close the conference by having a round table discussion, in particular on the integration of E&H research into policies by the different stakeholders, and looking at the future of Environment and Health research. These discussions will enable a deeper understanding of the E&H concerns and how research may contribute to resolving them. These discussions will bring dynamism to Environment and Health research by analysing the impact of research and its effectiveness for policy. A detailed programme will be posted begining of 2012 on the ERA-ENVHEALTH website: xxx.xxx-xxxxxxxxx.xx C O N F E R E N C E S A N D M E E T I N G S R E P O R T F R O M T H E 2 1 S T I S E S C O N F E R E N C E — A D V A N C I N G E X P O S U R E S C I E N C E F O R E N V I R O N M E N T A L H E A L T H The 2011 meeting of the International Society of Exposure Science gathered scientists from all over the globe to share current research activities and explore emerging trends in exposure science and environmental health. The theme this year — Advancing Exposure Science for Environmental Health — reflects the importance and expanding role of exposure science for a healthy environment. This can be described not only in terms of human health, but also in terms of the impact on the environment. This was the premier international exposure science event bringing together scientists, engineers, and policy-makers from a variety of disciplines to highlight significant scientific achievements and awareness of the role of exposure science in environmental health. The conference took place from Sunday, October 23 through Thursday, October 27, Baltimore.

Perspectives. The application of vendor-specific software impedes harmonization of practices for intact data processing, particularly in the case of deconvolution as these tools differ in important parameters used for the generation a deconvoluted spectrum.12,13,17 Thus, the development of tools that are capable of handling multiple data formats, such as the data processing steps presented in this study, is an important development towards developing consistent practices in intact protein data processing. In addition, the performance of a m/z-based migration time alignment, as demonstrated here, may also facilitate automated processing of extracted ion peaks by defining the same integration window in all samples. As a result, in terms of throughput and accuracy, this would enable a fairer comparison between the XIC and deconvolution approaches to be performed.
