Can sense-making tools inform adaptation policy?  A practitioner&amp;#8217;s perspective
Provedor de dados: Ecology and Society
Autores: Milne, Kyla M. G.; Nova Scotia Environment; milnekm@gov.ns.ca.
As governments struggle to find solutions to complex problems like climate change, policy makers look for tools that can capture complexity and elicit insight.  I explored the application of one such tool, known as &amp;#8220;SenseMaker,&amp;#8221; in helping Canadian policy makers understand the factors that enable or hinder climate change adaptation in Canada.  I have reflected on the usefulness of SenseMaker and of a multiperspective, multimethod approach to investigating perceptions and experiences of adaptation.

Over the last few decades Hungarian higher education has been radically transformed, and this transformation was implemented to counter the backwardness that previously plagued the education system.

Based on longitudinal research, a shift can be seen toward materialistic and hedonistic values. The...

Autores: Gordo,João Maurício Lucas; Silva,Marcelo Corrêa da; Solano,Gianice de Almeida; Lopes,Fernando Brito; Costa,Marcos Fernando Oliveira e; Rocha,Francisco Eduardo de Castro; Fioravanti,Maria Clorinda Soares; Sereno,José Robson Bezerra.
This study was undertaken to verify major issues present in the discourse of cattle farmers when discussing the use of artificial insemination (AI). Seventy-one beef and dairy cattle farmers in the state of Goiás, Brazil, were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires during AI training courses in 2010 and 2011. Data analyses were done using the classic method of textual speech content analysis, performing the pre-analytical, analytical and inferential stages. The written questions were separated in elementary context units (ECU) and sorted into similar thematic groups. These groups originated categories and subcategories, which were nominated based on an a posteriori criteria. Overall, personal motivation was the main issue characterizing discourse...
