Institutional repositories (IRs) present platform to disseminate research findings to complement the traditional scholarly communication model. The use of IRs is beneficial to authors, host institutions, libraries and society at large.

Awareness, anchor and adjustment factors were found to be determinants of PEOU of Institutional repositories by lecturers in Nigerian Universities.

Individual and contextual factors in ethical decision making: A case study of the most significant doping scandal in Canadian university sports history

This case study is written for instructors of sport management courses focused on ethics and integrity-related issues in team environments. The case highlights the real world example of the University of Waterloo Warriors varsity football that, in 2010, experienced the most significant doping scandal in Canadian university sports history, with a total of nine anti-doping rule violations asserted through the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport. This case study also incorporates the findings of an independent review of the Waterloo football program in relation to the use of banned substances, and includes first-hand accounts from Bob Copeland who was the acting director of athletics. These findings are then interpreted in the context of relevant theory related to performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) use. Along with the findings of this review, which included interviews with athletes, coaches, and administrators, the case study provides important insights into ethical decision making processes and leadership structures in a team sport environment. Particular emphasis is placed on the role that individual cognitive antecedents and contextual organizational factors (i.e., policies, leadership, ethical climate, and infrastructure) play in ethical decision-making processes.     

Structural dynamic responses analysis applying differential quadrature method

中国诗性的思想资源和诗性的文论意识--对《中国诗性文论与批评》的"诗性"的解读

诗性蕴涵着民族丰富的文化内涵，同时跟我们哲思的背景有千丝万缕的联系。文论的逻辑起正是由此展开，不论是“诗化”、世俗文化，还是诗的神性化，都是一种对感性的经验的依赖，这导致特性的泛化和诗化的文论意识的蔓延。我们的文论虽然逐渐观念化、抽象化，也构成了诗性的批评系统。但这种话语一旦定型、成熟之后，文论的意象的丰富性和创造性就会受阻。同时，面对西方的话语的大量的浸入，却有一种“失语”的迷茫。文论的现代话语的建立，必须正视这个现实，并进行了一种深刻的理论反思和学理的梳理。
