RCSSED Director Jeremaiah M. Opiniano (The University of Adelaide) won the 2024 Dissertation Award from the Mixed Methods International Research Association (MMIRA) for his doctoral project titled “Overseas Remittances and Rural Hometown Investing: Towards an Understanding of the Migration-and-Local Development Nexus.”聽

His PhD project, in May 2021, had already won the John Lewis Medal of Excellence for Outstanding Doctoral Research in Geography, from the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia (RGSSA), where Adelaide belongs.

MMIRA鈥檚 dissertation awards, the Association said, 鈥渞ecognize a beginning scholar completing original research whose dissertation has made an outstanding contribution to the field of mixed methods research鈥�.聽 Applicants to the 2024 MMIRA dissertation award must have the PhD thesis or dissertation defended / passed during the period December 1, 2020 to September 30, 2023.

Meanwhile, RCSSED Assistant Director Pia Patricia P. Tenedero (Macquarie University) will receive this year’s Virginia A. Miralao Excellence in Research Award (VAMERA) from the Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC).

Tenedero won the award for her book titled聽Communication that Counts: Language Practice and Ideology in Globalized Accounting聽that comes from her PhD thesis at Macquarie University. The book was published as part of the聽Language at Work聽series by publisher Multilingual Matters, based in Bristol in the United Kingdom.

VAMERA honors former PSSC Executive Director Dr. Virginia Miralao, and the prize comes from a 2012 grant to PSSC by Professor Emerita Dr. Belinda Aquino of the University of Hawaii at Manoa in the US. The award, handed out to a published journal article, book chapter or book, serves as an incentive (i.e., below 45 years old) 鈥渢o pursue original and meaningful research鈥�.

Tenedero, currently an honorary research fellow at Macquarie鈥檚 Department of Linguistics, will receive a unique trophy made by noted visual artist Toym Leon Imao.

Both awardees belong to the Faculty of Arts and Letters‘ Journalism and English programs, respectively.

Drs. Yan Tan (primary) and Dianne Marie Rudd (co-supervisor) advised Opiniano鈥檚 project, while Distinguished Professor Ingrid Piller and Dr. Loy Lising acted as primary and co-supervisors, respectively of Tenedero.

The individual citations of the two officials come as RCSSED received the Outstanding Research Institution Award, for Social Sciences and the Humanities, from the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) last March.

The objectives of the activity are: to improve IP awareness among the Pharmacy students of UniSA; and to capacitate them to perform simple patent search for their research projects.聽Assoc. Prof. Peralta gave the definitions and the characteristics of the different IP rights and how they are applied to their respective fields.聽 Then he oriented them on the different free search engines in conducting patent search to determine the novelty and inventive step of their projects.聽 This will assist them to avoid 鈥榬e-inventing the wheel鈥� and thus their projects might just fall within patentable subject matter.聽 He gave them a hands-on experience on how to the navigate the free patent databases and to read patent documents.

One of the objectives of the ITSO is to improve IP awareness sharing their expertise and train faculty, students, and researchers in matters of IP, patent searching and patent drafting.  This would eventually lead to more technologies that would be commercialized and transferred to industry partners for public use and at the same time may earn royalties to the inventors as their incentives to create more.

For the students, the institution, the global community

Santiago underscored that internationalization activities redound to benefits for three main sectors: the students, the institution, and the global community.

With the intercultural fluency and soft skills development that students acquire comes a network of international contacts that can jumpstart a career in the international arena and true global citizenship. Such entry into the global workplace of equipped students can bring in the benefits of diversity to the workplace and society, which can become more open and inclusive. Ultimately, such openness to cultures and backgrounds, coupled with the mutual benefits people derive from one another, can redound to peace and order, which are an indirect but desired effect of people living together in harmony.

Talking about the benefit to the institution, Santiago noted that internationalization has aided in the goal of continuous quality improvement, for it, among other things, encouraged discussion and knowledge sharing, attracted talents to the University, created a positive impact on various accreditation efforts and even world rankings, as well as opened doors for scholarships, grants, and exchange opportunities through the enhanced networks the University was able to develop.

How 六合彩直播开奖 does it

Santiago also enumerated 六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 five main internationalization programs, namely Student Mobility Programs, Faculty Diversity, Transnational Researches, Transnational Education, and Internationalization at Home.

For Student Mobility Programs, student exchanges, summer schools, leadership training, discovery tours / academic visits, and research attachments through internships, clinical rotation, and service learning are done.

Apart from sending its students abroad, 六合彩直播开奖 also receives students for mobility programs, for English Language Courses; Tropical Biodiversity and Urban Environment Community Immersion / Internships; Participation in Joint Conferences; and exchange programs funded by the ASEAN International Mobility of Students (AIMS), European Union Support for Higher Education in the ASEAN Region (EU-SHARE) and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Regional Centre for Higher Education and Development (SEAMEO-RIHED). For the period of 2014-2017, South Korean students accounted for the largest cohort of inbound students, at 22%, with China coming in close at 21%.

Faculty diversity is seen through the slew of Visiting Lecturers and Professors (e.g., from the Linnaeus University 鈥� Sweden), Joint Thematic Conferences, Joint Scientific Activities, and Joint Research Supervision (e.g., Bioanalytical Nanotechnology School 鈥撀�Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain).

Currently, Transnational Research has led to at least three global projects, namely the collaboration among Lille 1, CARRTEL, INRA (France); University of Shiga Prefecture (Japan) and National Taiwan University; and the 六合彩直播开奖 to extend the knowledge base on the effect of global changes, especially climate change, on freshwater plankton.

Currently, there are two researches funded by grants from the Newton Fund of the British Council, namely, the Eco-Social Surveying: Mapping Social Assets, Urban Greenery, and the Connections between Them in Rapidly Changing Cities (between the 六合彩直播开奖 and the University of Reading School of Architecture); and the Affordable Near-Patient Tests for Infectious Diseases in the Philippines (between the 六合彩直播开奖 and and the University of Cambridge).

For Transnational Education, five programs are currently running: 1) 3+2 BS Engineering; 2) 5+1 MS Engineering (both with the Catholic University of America); 3) 1+1 Dual MS Chemical Engineering, major in Metallurgical Engineering (with Curtin University 鈥� Australia); 4) Dual PhD in Built Environment / Architecture (with the University of Reading 鈥� United Kingdom); and the Master of Public Health (International) (with the University of Leeds, with which 六合彩直播开奖 has an articulation agreement).

Finally, Internationalization At Home is how 六合彩直播开奖 integrates 鈥渋nternational, intercultural, or global dimensions in the teaching and learning that takes place in the campus,鈥� done through learning a foreign language; interaction with international students through the Buddy System, tutorials, cultural activities, and joint activities, as well as integration of internationalization into the curriculum.

To provide better perspective, Santiago also enumerated 六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 early internationalization efforts, such as the pioneering of health science programs, namely the MS in Audiology (with Macquarie University); MS in Pain Management (with the University of Sydney); and MS in Physical Therapy (with the University of South Australia).
