The impact of the current student loans regime on Muslim student engagement and retention in English higher education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is much interest in the potential for an alternative funding system for higher education students in England to support the spiritual and worldly needs of British Muslim students. At the heart of this issue lies a tension over whether the student financing system in English HE is haram, or forbidden under Islamic (Shari'ah) law, because ...

Exposing the work of the market through the case of Alternative Provision for English school students

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Pupils in England who, for some reason, are not able to attend school often find themselves in Alternative Provision (AP). These are special arrangements designed to address their specific needs and help them return to mainstream schooling.

Framing National Education in Hong Kong: A frame analysis of power dynamics in stakeholders' competing narratives

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how national education in Hong Kong functions as a contested arena in which state and non‐state actors struggle over the meaning of citizenship, identity and schooling. Using inductive frame analysis of 319 news articles (2020–2025) from five Chinese‐ and English‐language outlets, it identifies diagnostic, prognostic and ...

Journal relatedness: An actor-actor and actor-objectives case study

Scientometrics, 2007
Using the MACTOR (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives and Recommendations) method, a set of 13 related journals covering the subject category “Chemistry, Multidisciplinary” was analyzed in terms of direct and indirect reciprocal influences (measured by relatedness indexes Rji), their positions towards a generic set of common ...

Actor classification using actor machines

2013 Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2013
Program analysis is an important tool in software development, both for verifying desired properties and for enabling optimizations. For dataflow programs, properties such as determinacy and static schedulability are important for verifying correctness and creating efficient implementations. In this paper we develop an analyzer for dataflow actors, the

Knowledge based actor to actor coordination in Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

ETFA2011, 2011
Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks emphasize the necessity for cooperative communication between actors as well as sensors in order to achieve ubiquitous monitoring and efficient interaction in realistic physical environments and appropriate acting on them.

Deterministic Actors

2019 Forum for Specification and Design Languages (FDL), 2019
Actors have become widespread in programming languages and programming frameworks focused on parallel and distributed computing. While actors provide a more disciplined model for concurrency than threads, their interactions, if not constrained, admit nondeterminism. As a consequence, actor programs may exhibit unintended behaviors and are less amenable

Actors and their Composition

Formal Aspects of Computing, 2003
Abstract.Modern environments for modelling and designing concurrent computational systems increasingly supportheterogeneoussystem models, which are characterised by different coordination mechanisms governing the interaction between concurrent components in different parts or at different levels of the model.

Actors And Agents

IEEE Concurrency, 1998
The terms "actor" and "agent" are used widely in the literature on concurrent and distributed programming both because the underlying concepts to which they refer are fundamental, powerful, and interesting and also because these terms admit of varying interpretations in different technical settings. Historically, the terms "actor" and "agent" have

Self Actor-Actor Connectivity Restoration in Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

2009 First Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems, 2009
Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are a set of coexistence sensors and actors connected wirelessly to perform cooperatively sensing and interaction to physical environment. Nowadays, WSANs are used in many important application areas. Main concern in all networks is connectivity of the network nodes, in WSANs because of majority of their ...
