Exciting! But that’s far from being the end of the story. For these research findings to be useful to other scientists and to society in general, knowledge needs to transition from the lab to the outside world. Without this process, even the most brilliant discoveries will become dust at the bottom of a drawer. Science communication is changing, but the most typical process of bringing new discoveries into the open is still the publication of a scholarly article in an academic journal. Nature is one such journal – and one of the most well-respected and high-profile scientific publications in the world. In addition to Laboratory technician adding solution to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at the Instituto de Salud Pública de Chile articles written by scientists, Nature publishes a broad variety The number of scholarly journals currently available is huge. Nature’s mission statement, dating from 1869, mentioned of content. Research Highlights, for example, are short editorial Some journals are multidisciplinary, some are dedicated to two main objectives: “FIRST, to place before the general pieces that summarise and highlight the context, findings and a specific area of knowledge. Some only publish articles public the grand results of Scientific Work and Scientific implications of a recently published research paper. They are that are considered major advances in the field, others are Discovery, and to urge the claims of Science to a more ‘snacks’ of important new scientific knowledge, made accessible dedicated to publishing all research, regardless of novelty, general recognition in Education and in Daily Life; and, to a broad audience of people interested in science – not only as long as the work is sound. Some publish articles that SECONDLY, to aid Scientific men themselves, by giving early to scientists working in a specific field.

    Secondary School and Sixth Form Performance PDF

    Report to OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY PERFORMANCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY SELECT COMMITTEE Secondary school and sixth form performance Portfolio Holder: Cllr Shaid Mushtaq, Cabinet Member for Education & Early Years Officer Contact: Richard Lynch, Director of Education, Skills & Early Years Report Author: Tony Shepherd, Head of Learning 12 March 2020 Purpose of the Report The purpose of this report is to provide Elected Members with a review of secondary school and sixth form performance. Executive Summary In 2020 the pandemic caused the closure of schools and cancellation of examinations. Students were awarded their centre assessment grade or calculated grade, whichever was higher. This increased grades and meant that results for 2020 could not be directly compared to other years. In addition, performance data is not available at the school level, making 2020 analysis very limited. This paper provides a performance overview by summarising 2020 published data and reflecting on trends in 2017-2019 published data. In 2020, GCSE and A’ level outcomes for Oldham pupils were below national averages and the gaps between Oldham and national averages were wider than previously. The trends from 2017 to 2019 show a widening gap between GCSE and A’ level outcomes in Oldham and those nationally. Recommendations To note the report and actions planned to address areas of under-performance. Overview and Scrutiny Board Tuesday, 2 March 2021 Secondary school and sixth form performance 1 Background 1.1 This paper provides an update to the Overview and Scrutiny Board on secondary school and sixth form performance in Oldham. 1.2 Performance of pupils in exams are generally norm-referenced, so a similar proportion of grades are awarded each year.

    'Bite Me': Buffy and the Penetration of the Gendered Warrior-Hero

    Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, Vol. 16, No. 2, 2002 ‘Bite Me’: Buffy and the penetration of the gendered warrior-hero SARA BUTTSWORTH, University of Western Australia Introduction Can the ultimate girl be the ultimate warrior? If warrior identity is simultaneously a quintessentially masculine identi er, and one of the core expressions of ‘innate’ masculinity, then the biggest transgression of warrior iconography posed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Buffy’s gender. Buffy is both like and not like ‘other girls’. The social conventions of mainstream femininity, which have so often been used to argue that women cannot be warriors, are often precisely what make Buffy such an effective soldier in her speculative world. The blurred boundaries that are possible in speculative texts open up space necessary to examine the arguments and gendered ideologies which govern what is, and what is not, possible in the ‘real’ world. Such texts can often make explicit what is implied in more ‘realistic’ representations, and can either destabilize or reinforce gendered cultural conventions.1 Established as the ‘chosen one’ in the 1992 lm, and then in the television series which debuted mid-season in 1997, Buffy has slashed her way not only through the ctional constraints placed upon her predecessors in vampire carnage, but through the conventions governing gendered constructions of the warrior.2 Warrior tradition con- structs a coherent masculinity, including impenetrable male bodies, as the key to warrior identity, and renders ‘slay-gal’3 not only paradoxical but, arguably, impossible. It is this (im)possibility, and the ways in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer fractures and reinvents the gendered identity of the warrior-hero, which are explored in this article.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

These structures are known to encode the parameters of the binary orbit and winds2,3,4.

In the thermal infrared, the system is adorned with a prominent 1200 spiral dust plume,≈ revealed by proper motion studies to be expanding at only 570 km s−1.
