CAL and FE: A Welsh perspective

The core of this paper is the result of an investigation into the use of computer‐aided learning (CAL) in further education (FE) colleges in Wales: All institutions surveyed used CAL to some extent in teaching or learning, and academic staff were in some way involved in producing CAL materials in almost all. However, student numbers were found not to be a good indicator of the degree to which CAL is used Furthermore, only two‐thirds of colleges approached claimed to have received any external funding for CAL and distance learning involved only a small proportion of FE students. Nevertheless, the general conclusion drawn is that all FE colleges in Wales use ICTs (information and communication technologies) extensively, although there are significant differences in the equipment/student ratios, and there appears to be little strategic college‐wide planning concerning such developments

Learner profiles at a UK university: an exploratory study

In the academic literature and practice, there is often a perceived dichotomy between home and international students, with the focus on finding solutions to dealing with differences between those two students groups. This paper aims to explore if this focus on differences between students from diverse cultural backgrounds is helpful, or if instead a broader approach to looking at differences between students generally may be more useful. In this paper, the authors use the concepts of identity perception, self-efficacy as a learner, intelligence perception and learning motivation together with a choice of learning strategies and techniques are to establish student profiles using cluster analysis. The paper explores the differences between these student profiles and the extent to which cultural background impacts on these profiles. Five distinct groups of students are identified. The findings show that whilst some of the groups are dominated by one nationality, all groups are multinational. This implies that cultural specific behaviour amongst students can hide the fact that actual learning strategies, techniques and motivation are very varied between students from one nationality. Rather than thinking in terms of international and British students, identifying students as a type of learner may be more appropriate

A Descriptive Analysis of Teaching Social Attitudes at Intermountain School

The need for training in social attitudes for Indian children. If Indian children are to fit into modern society, attention is necessary to develop proper social attitudes since many must adjust from attitudes of their own home society in five to eight years

Investigating Mercury Contamination in Urban Fish: Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and Histological Analysis for Environmental and Human Health

Mercury contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a pressing environmental and public health concern, particularly in urban areas where industrial runoff and wastewater contribute to heavy metal accumulation. This study investigates mercury presence in fish from Richland Creek in Nashville, TN, by analyzing histological changes in liver and muscle tissues. Mercury bioaccumulates in aquatic food chains, potentially leading to physiological damage in fish and posing health risks to humans who consume contaminated seafood. While prior research has established mercury’s toxic effects, there is a need for localized studies assessing its presence in urban waterways. The hope is to find histological abnormalities in liver and muscle tissues, such as cellular degeneration and inflammation, indicative of mercury toxicity. Future analysis using atomic absorption spectroscopy is expected to confirm measurable levels of mercury in these tissues, correlating with observed damage. By identifying contamination patterns and potential health risks, this study aims to contribute to ongoing efforts in pollution management and environmental conservation
