Universities globally have continued to strategically increase work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities for students to enhance graduate employability. However, meeting the needs of the increasing number of placements in industry settings places challenges on employers and academic programme coordinators. This paper examines an innovative teaching and learning initiative demonstrating non-placement WIL practice on-campus and online through an exercise prescription clinic (EPC). The benefits provided by these opportunities have not only been for student learning, but for clients, in particular those impacted by neurological and/or muscular skeletal problems. The development of the on-campus EPC has focused on key elements of good practice in WIL highlighted by Agnew, Pill and Orrell (2017). The recent Covid-19 pandemic and the related government restrictions have resulted in the on-campus EPC being flipped online, requiring adaptability and flexibility of both students and clients. This paper reinforces the importance of developing WIL experiences that enhance the learning outcomes for both the student and the client. It also highlights the transferability of authentic industry non-placement WIL clinical experiences for future health professionals to both on-campus and online settings, which enable students the opportunity to engage with a range of clients in a safe environment, enhancing both personal and professional learning outcomes.

Part 2: Novel Sources of Trust and Trust Information ; International audience ; Many government agencies (GAs) increasingly rely on external computing, communications and storage services supplied by service providers (SPs) to process, store or transmit sensitive data to increase scalability and decrease the costs of maintaining services. The relationships with external SPs are usually established through service level agreements (SLAs) as trust-enhancing instruments. However, there is a concern that existing SLAs are mainly focused on the system availability and performance aspects, but overlook security in SLAs. In this paper, we investigated 'real world' SLAs in terms of security guarantees between GAs and external SPs, using Indonesia as a case study. This paper develops a grounded adaptive Delphi method to clarify the current and potential attributes of security-related SLAs that are common among external service offerings. To this end, we conducted a longitudinal study of the Indonesian government auctions of 59 e-procurement services from 2010–2016 to find 'auction winners'. Further, we contacted five selected major SPs (n = 15 participants) to participate in a three-round Delphi study. Using a grounded theory analysis, we examined the Delphi study data to categorise and generalise the extracted statements in the process of developing propositions. We observed that most of the GAs placed significant importance on service availability, but security capabilities of the SPs were not explicitly expressed in SLAs. Additionally, the GAs often use the provision of service availability to demand additional security capabilities supplied by the SPs. We also observed that most of the SPs found difficulties in addressing data confidentiality and integrity in SLAs. Overall, our findings call for a proposition-driven analysis of the Delphi study data to establish the foundation for incorporating security capabilities into security-related SLAs.

Purpose: Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) are very much a part of the Scottish tourism landscape in 2011. Some regional tourism stakeholders have created DMOs to manage their respective regional attractions, but until now, this has not been the case with north-east Scotland. As a prelude to the potential creation of a regional DMO, the purpose of this paper is to empirically evaluate tourism business leaders' attitudes and likely acceptance of the DMO's structure and functions. Design/methodology/approach: The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode (TKCM) was utilised to provide an evaluative framework, with discussion of the assertiveness versus cooperativeness needs of tourism business stakeholders in the region. The TKCM's measurement instrument was utilised along with a purpose-built questionnaire to gather information about tourism leaders' interaction orientations and their level of support for the formation of a DMO, its structure and functions. Findings: Tourism leaders in north-east Scotland are collaboration-oriented. Initial findings indicate that on balance, tourism businesses (as expressed by their managers/owners) are persuaded by the attractiveness of collaboration at an integrated regional level, but would nevertheless prefer a certain degree of competition. In addition, organisational size and membership of existing destination management networks appear to moderate the interaction choice preference. Research limitations/implications: First, the scale and questionnaire instrument developed to test attitudes toward a DMO formation have not been exhaustively evaluated, nor have the potential moderating factors been comprehensively assessed. A more robust and validated scale should be developed and moderators clearly modelled. Second, current sample size is limited and may not provide an adequate basis for generalisation. In future, a larger sample should be employed. Finally, this research is exploratory in scope, and future research, designed along an evaluative and analytical basis, is ...

Despite growing interest in revitalizing the labor movement, the role of the strike has hardly been discussed. Can unions make gains without it?

An examination of the impact of the internationalization of European markets on unions analyzes the success of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) in spite of the link between union movements & institutional structures of national political economies. It is argued that external incentives to Europeanize union strategies helped to achieve a significant degree of union Europeanization. Movement toward the integration of European markets is traced from the late 1950s. Union Europeanization is described as the result of interactions between European institutions trying to spark Euro-level interest representation, a small group of unionists who saw Europe as important, & the increasing importance of European integration itself. Events that led to the 1973 establishment of the ETUC are examined, noting that the organization remained small & dependent on member confederations until the 1990s, when help was accepted from labor-oriented European institutional elites who had their own political agendas. The consequences of the ETUC's commitment to a general vision of European integration similar to that held by the European Commission are discussed. J. Lindroth
