English | 2012 | ISBN: 1594036659 | 56 pages | EPUB | 1.9 MB
America is facing a higher education bubble. Like the housing bubble, it is the product of cheap credit coupled with popular expectations of ever-increasing returns on investment, and as with housing prices, the cheap credit has caused college tuitions to vastly outpace inflation and family incomes.

English | ISBN: 1640552405 | 2021 | 364 pages | PDF | 7 MB
When we think about who provides patient care at hospitals and health systems, physicians and nurses are often the first people who come to mind. But what about the myriad ancillary and support staff who assist-directly and indirectly-with patient care? These departments play an essential role in ensuring patient safety and shaping the patient experience.

Constitution of Organs of the Higher Plants: The multiple secondary axis theory
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811916845 | 167 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
This book written by Professor Chi Yen of Sichuan Agricultural University in Chinese was published by China Agriculture Press (ISBN 978-7-109-22791-0). It describes a new theory on the constitution of organs of the higher plants based on experimental evidence, the multiple secondary axis theory. This theory states that all organs of the higher plants are the constitution of multiple secondary axes. The primary axis extends bipolarly to initiate the above- and the below-ground parts of a plant, from which secondary axes develop. Leaves are split, expanded upper ends of terminal secondary axes. Stems are merged lower ends of the secondary axes, Vascular bundles are secondary structures developed within the axes which interconnect with each other to form the central core of the stem and branches and the veins in the leaves. Roots form through the downward extension of the lower ends of the axes toward or within the underground and branch roots are unsplit secondary axes. All new axes emerge from the inner side of existing, split axes. All floral organs including fruits, seeds and vegetative reproduction organs such as bulbils and plantlets, are deformed axes. This theory is significant in guiding the scientific design of the ideotype of crops to optimize the development of the economically important organ(s) of a crop.

Learner and Teacher Autonomy in Higher Education: Perspectives from Modern Language Teaching (Foreign Language Teaching in Europe) By Manuel Jiménez Raya (editor), José Javier Martos Ramos (editor), Maria Giovanna Tassinari (editor)
2017 | 308 Pages | ISBN: 3631659849 | PDF | 2 MB
This volume seeks to foster the development of teacher and learner autonomy in language learning in higher education. It pools the insights and experiences of a group of international researchers who present their reflections and research on different aspects of autonomy and related issues. Although autonomy is acknowledged as one of the main goals of education, in higher education the need for accountability and standardisation of learning outcomes may constitute external limitations to its development. In order to overcome teaching traditions and mainstream academic culture, teachers may need to reorient themselves and face the challenge of a substantial change involving their own and their learners' beliefs, their practice and their role in the institution.

Rick Wylie, "Higher Education and Regional Growth"
English | ISBN: 1786608316 | 2018 | 136 pages | EPUB | 180 KB
The specialisation, knowledge and innovation brought about by universities often play a key role in the economic success of cities and regions. Yet higher education is also increasingly regarded, in some European countries and regions, as an economic sector in itself, whereby the measure of success lies in the ability to attract international students and set up international partnerships. Universities need therefore to find successful strategies responding to global challenges and fitting local contexts.
