From museum to school and back again: tracing the biographies of natural history objects, 1866–2024

ABSTRACT The article traces and examines the history of some of the specimens used in teaching in Swedish secondary grammar schools from the mid-nineteenth century up until today. Previous research has focused on empirical analyses of teaching materials and school collections, while this paper adds new knowledge to the history of education using an object-biographic approach. Whilst focusing on the history of two distinct specimens, a bird and a small collection of butterflies, and how these were circulated and recontextualised, the paper raises wider questions about how different actors are involved as meanings and knowledge content change. Through the object-biographic approach, we show that the use of natural history objects was multifaceted and had several purposes at the same time, ranging from research to education to providing status or being a hobby. The use of natural history specimens changed with reforms of the Swedish educational system. New teaching materials and new educational ideals were developed, and from 1960 onwards the importance of these objects decreased. We show how the specimens have taken on new meanings today as selected and displayed museum objects.

A Brief Discussion on Innovations in Student Fee Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions Under the Network Environment

As the reform of the higher education system in China continues to deepen, the scale of institutions expands, and the channels for fee collection diversify, the types and quantities of invoices have also seen rapid growth. The application of student fee management systems in universities enhances the accuracy of fee management, showcasing advantages in intelligence, precise record-keeping, and statistical capabilities—qualities that traditional manual fee collection cannot match. However, several issues remain unresolved in practice. In traditional student fee management processes, the systems used are often isolated, preventing effective data sharing. Various problems have surfaced in student fee management, and addressing these issues is crucial for ensuring timely and full fee collection, which is key to promoting the rapid development of higher education.

Breaking Menstrual Inequality: A Multidimensional Approach to Addressing Period Poverty in China

Menstrual poverty is a complex public health problem that cuts across economic, social, and cultural dimensions. It refers not only to women's inability to afford sanitary products due to economic difficulties, but also to a broader lack of relevant knowledge, privacy protection, and social awareness of the importance of menstrual health. China lacks specific policies to address menstrual equity, especially the social disparities between urban and rural areas. This study aims to explore effective policies and community-based interventions to alleviate menstrual poverty among low-income women and girls in China, taking into account economic, social, and educational factors. The study proposes a comprehensive range of intervention strategies through a literature review, qualitative research, and case studies, including tax credits, public health policies, community distribution programs, education system reform, private-sector partnerships with NGOs, economic empowerment, and social and cultural change. The findings highlight the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration, gender-sensitive policy development, and community engagement in addressing menstrual poverty.

Research on Enhancement Strategies for the Integration of Industry-Education Information Technology Platforms in Vocational Colleges

During this pivotal period in which China's vocational education is transitioning from a scale-oriented to a connotation-oriented development, efforts to reform vocational education are continuously intensifying, with the integration of industry and education consistently serving as the key logical thread in the reform of the modern vocational education system. Educational informatization stands as a crucial indicator of educational modernization, and the comprehensive promotion of educational modernization through educational informatization is a significant strategic decision for China's educational reform and development. However, integration of industry and education has not formed mutual integration and commonality between the entire school and enterprise levels in aspects such as talent cultivation, faculty construction, and scientific research cooperation, leading to a lack of a scientific evaluation system for assessing the effectiveness of this integration. Therefore, vocational colleges should actively construct an integration of industry and education information management platform based on the thinking of integration of industry and education and the ISO 25010 software quality model. This will further improve and enhance the service capabilities of the integration of industry and education information technology platform, facilitate multi-party interactive cooperation among governments, industries, enterprises, and schools, better meet the requirements of talent cultivation model transformation and innovative development in the construction of higher vocational colleges, and standardize the process of integration of industry and education, making it more transparent, visualizing data analysis, and comprehensively evaluating effectiveness.

Study on University Dropouts In the Context of the Romanian Education System Reform

After 2010, the Romanian university system registered an increase of dropout cases. This aspect requires to identify and implement some alternative methods of action at the national level with the unique scope to prevent and combat early university dropout. The good motivation of the students for their studies is increasingly low. Some of the causes which determine this phenomenon are well known and quite difficult to remove, as for example the financial and intellectual development level of the family from where they come. These aspects can often be decisive factors in the emergence of the school dropout phenomenon. But these aspects are certainly not the only causes. This is the reason for which other aspects, which determine the students to dropping out the school and can be more easily corrected, must be identified. The aim of this paper is to present these aspects, emphasizing the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to limit absenteeism and university dropout. For this purpose, we present a questionnaire applied at "Ovidius" University on a target group of students. The participants consisted of 500 students from 5 faculties of our university. With this questionnaire we want to identify patterns and trends in the evolution of absenteeism and university dropout.

The Almajiri phenomenon is one of the pandemic matters affecting Muslims in the North, specifically Nigeria as a nation. It depicts a condition whereby children of school age, ostensibly enrolled to study under Mallams, roam about the streets in tattered clothes, begging, scavenging, and doing all sorts of odd jobs. While Islam places a high premium on education, emerging issues about The Almajiri system of education have heightened the need to re-examine the concept from the perspective of the essence, purpose, goal, and objective of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shari’ah). To this extent, the practice of the Almajiri system of education as obtainable in Nigeria should be subjected to the balance of Maqasid as-Shari’ah to ascertain its acceptability and fecundity. This paper therefore attempts to assess and appraise the Almajiri educational system in Nigeria to reform its operation and recommend steps towards attaining the overall educational goals of Islam as enshrined in the Shari’ah. The researcher adopts both historical and narrative research methods in the work. This article finds a strong correlation between the Almajiri system of education and Maqasid as-Shari’ah. The research concludes that there is a dire need for Nigerian Muslims to adopt the Maqasid as-Shari’ah as the guiding principle for the reformation and operation of the Almajiri educational system, particularly in the northern part of the country.
