highly prized and of great significance. The Hei-tiki is a taonga which dates back centuries. Derived from the East Polynesian tiki, the Hei-tiki is a neck pendant, which celebrates "the advent of mankind" rather than a single ancestor (Atholl, Binney, Harris, 40). Hei-Tikis are thought to protect the wearer, acting as a spiritual guardian and medium. Anderson describes the Hei-Tiki in 1777 as a “memorial to those whom they held most dear” (40). This Hei-tiki is of significance in particular as it
education and its impact on performance of higher education institutions (HEIs). First, it explores the meaning of autonomy within the dynamic of current policy on higher education. Second, it analyzes research studies indicating relationship between HEI autonomy and performance. Using principal-agent models as a theory in policy reform, I discuss the narrative of reform that shifts from previous beliefs in autonomy of HEI that are constructed on institutional trust and related to professional autonomy
that may arise in the case study of the participating higher education institution (HEI). This study used a descriptive case study methodology. A descriptive case study was most fitting for an analysis that was dedicated to answering “how” and “why” questions about a given phenomenon (Yin, 2009). The purpose of the current study was to learn how and why internationalization has developed at the different HEIs. Case studies allow for selective sampling strategies, employ multiple methods of data
aspects of public life”. These are selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.2 Maintaining high ethical standards is made explicit, or at least implicit, in the aims and objectives of most institutions. But HEIs still need to ensure that these aims are put into practice in the day to day running of the institution.Ethical issues arise in a wide range of situations, including those
The Civil Rights Movement & HEIs Overtime, there were battles to develop a more diverse student population. As Stallion explains in her (2003) research, the student body finally gained traction and began making waves in 1954 when the Brown v. the Board of Education case made it to the supreme court. The case argued that the racial segregation of schools was violating the fourteenth amendment, that all people born or naturalized in the United States were granted citizenship. This was extended

However, Moana defies her father and sets on a journey full of experiences that ends up fulfilling
this, they “exploit longitudinal variation in California school districts’ meal vendors and estimate difference-in-differences type regressions.” (Anderson 2) The nutritional quality of the meals were measured using the Healthy Eating Index, or HEI. The HEI is described as “the measure of diet quality preferred by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (USDA 2006) and has previously been used by researchers to evaluate menus at fast-food restaurants and child-care centers” (Anderson 2)

Paul Revere was not a unique here before the battle of Lexington . Hei is one of the few people to risk their life, to save the colonists, by warning them that British were coming . “In the hour of darkness and peril and need, the people will waken and listen to hear the hurrying hoof of that steed, and the midnight message of Paul Revere” .

2.2 Data Mining in Authorship Collaboration Nowadays, data mining in authorship collaboration gaining interest and demand among the researchers. Data mining techniques have been applied successfully in many areas from traditional areas such as business and science (Fu, 1997). A lot of organizations now employ data mining as a secret weapon to keep or gain competitive edge. The application of data mining techniques is becoming increasingly important in modern organizations that seek to utilize the
According to Freeman, “a stakeholder in an organisation is (by definition) any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organisation’s objectives.” (Freeman, 2010, p. 46). This is the most cited definition in literature. (Mitchell, Agle, & Wood, 1997, pp. 853-886). Since a stake can be defined as “something of value, some form of capital – human, physical or financial – that is (placed) at risk, either voluntarily or involuntarily” (Clarkson, 1998, p. 2), organisational
Keiji Nishitani’s biographical background does in fact work as an efficient cause for his views especially concerning Nihilism and the Buddhist “Great Doubt,” because of the loss of his father, his own illness, the profound despair he felt from a young age and the influence of Japan before and after the War. Nishitani himself states, “He (Nishitani) describes his decision to study philosophy as the natural outcome of his own struggle with nihilism and despair as a young man (Hab/Col, 395).” Nishitani’s
After the Civil Rights movement, many historians took different perspectives on history. Up until the 1960’s historians considered the west vacant and unoccupied. Many cultures and peoples had lived in the West before Americans pushed westward. This new generation of historians noticed that in each of the following theories of Andrew Jackson, previous historians could not give an accurate interpretation of Jackson because they neglected to consider the West as occupied. This shift in ideology forced
who are privileged enough that live with much more than the bare minimum. However, economically speaking, this would cause absolute chaos. Singer’s solution ignores the basics of economics that makes the world run smoothly today, in addition to this heis solution closely mirrors a economic system that has failed time and time again. “The Singer Solution to World Poverty” is too drastic to be implemented, economically speaking, however another solution to world poverty would prove to be more
Another route to maximum points is to have added one new library catalogue entry per student. [4] This paper aims to explore the influence of higher education institution (HEI) facilities on overall student satisfaction, and to identify the distinct facilities that most strongly influence student overall satisfaction with HEI facilities. The factor that most strongly influences student satisfaction with university facilities is the quality of its social areas, auditoriums and libraries. Conversely
Has everyone known that many elementary school students feel anxiety and stress whenever they take quizzes and exams every school year? Do students who consume large amounts of unhealthy foods receive lower standardized-test scores? In recent years, “standardized test scores have been the dominant metric for measuring what public-school students know and are able to do” (Anderson 1). According to an article in The Atlantic, “Do Healthy Lunches Improve Test Scores?,” Melinda D. Anderson discusses

Conflict is a characteristic of human existence. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, conflict periodically enters our lives. Pie and Diez (2007 as cited in Parlevliet (2011), claimed that conflict is a state or condition of opposition, antagonism and discord. It is a struggle or contest between people with opposing needs, ideas, beliefs, values, or goals. Asante (2011) declared that there are disparate interests and contrary views behind a conflict, which are revealed when people see a problem
These factors of experiential learning are intrinsically important for employability, and work programmes such as internships or volunteering to work at companies, enhances a student’s employability status. 4.3 Collaborative efforts needed by HEI and employees to align qualifications that will results in employable
