The Good Supervisory Practice Framework acknowledges, for the first time at a national level, the wide-ranging, highly complex and demanding set of roles involved in modern research supervision. Designed to set expectations for all supervisors and to support supervisor development programmes, the framework is authored by Professor Stan Taylor of Durham University, and is based upon the extensive body of academic research into supervision. Further information on the Research Supervision Recognition Program and the route to recognition is provided below.

The aim of this training  is to introduce effective and reproducible data analysis techniques in two open source programming languages, R and Python. This resource is presented by Dr Geraint Palmer who is a Welsh medium lecturer in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. His research in the field of Operational Research mainly involved modelling public services as queueing systems analytically and using computer simulation. This work applies topics such as probability, graph theory, data analysis, and software development. Content: A series of 10 videos (5 in R and 5 in Python), on the following topics: Downloading, installing, and starting the software Reading in data and producing summary statistics Plotting Combining and re-shaping data Hypothesis testing An example data set A practical task to coincide with each video On completion trainees should be able to: By working through this video series and the tasks, you will be able to start to analyse data with either R or Python. Specifically, you will know how to read in data to the software, produce summary statistics, plot, combine and reshape data, and carry out hypothesis testing.

John Rawls’s just war doctrine is primarily interpreted as an elaboration of Walzer’s theory. However, when considered in light of Rawls’s Kantian commitments and the utopian nature of his reflections on international relations in The Law of Peoples, his perspective on just war is distinctive and challenging. This Kantian influence leads to a nuanced doctrine with a commitment to peace as the regulative principle of war, characterised as principles of transitional justice that are never fully just. A sceptical perspective emerges that rejects extending the just war doctrine to humanitarian warfare. The Rawlsian statesman would be a dove, rather than a hawk, committed to the belief that war is an evil to be avoided and overcome, and that universal peace should be aspired to. 

Gwerddon is a Welsh-medium academic e-journal which publishes research in the Arts, the Humanities and the Sciences twice a year and which conforms to the academic guidelines of the Research Excellence Framework 2014.  The journal has two main aims, which are to stimulate and encourage first-class academic discussion across as wide a range of subjects as possible through the medium of Welsh and thereby to create a store of scholarly material for the use of research students and academics. Gwerddon is funded by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

A 10-minute short film explaining how changes in the Arctic Ocean and the decline in sea ice can directly influence the patterns and systems of our weather here in Wales. The film follows the history of the main adventurers to date, to the disappearance of sea ice and the impact of that. It combines film work from the Arctic Ocean (filmed by Bangor University Scientists on location) with laboratory experiments as well as presentations in front of the camera. The video is aimed at University students as well as school pupils. The video is avaiable in Welsh only.

This resource supports tutors who offer guidance to students regarding good academic practice that they can apply to their reading and writing whilst avoiding plagiarism. Included within this resource are the following: Guidance in the form of a guide for tutors on introducing good academic practice related to avoiding plagiarism; Online materials (Sway presentations and quizzes) that can be shared directly with students; and Worksheets that can be shared with students. The central aim of the resource is to provide a convenient place for tutors to turn to for support and guidance that equips them with practical workshop ideas as well as interactive materials to share with their students. Dr Leila Griffiths Dr Leila Griffiths is a Study Adviser (Welsh medium specialism) at the Study Skills Centre at Bangor University. She has been working as part of a team that aims to help undergraduates and postgraduates develop the strategies and processes that will help them get the most out of their studies. Leila has experience of working closely with academic schools to support and complement subject-specific provision within the disciplines, and to disseminate good practice. Her experience of working with schools to develop the curriculum and of developing a skills module for the Coleg Cymraeg has recently been published here. In addition to the provision within academic schools, the Centre also provides individual face-to-face (usually), telephone or Teams appointments, maths and statistics support, as well as generic workshops and online study guides for students at all levels of study.

Introduction to the ideology of sociologist Emile Durkheim in his own words, translated into Welsh.  Durkheim believed that it was possible to create a science to study sociology, and was one of the main founders of modern sociology. According to Durkheim, an individual and his or her actions are controlled by society. He also studied the role of religion in society.

This article seeks to interrogate the ways in which the citizens of Wales use the theatrical resources at their disposal to investigate and articulate their national identities and experiences. The discussion will take a recent co-production, entitled Sisters, between National Theatre Wales and Junoon Theatre Mumbai as its starting point. Sisters stimulates discussion of new ways of creating and participating in theatre that respond creatively to the challenges of a twenty-first century global, digital and post-consumerist society. In discussion, this article will use Johannes Birringer’s uncompromising vision of theatre as a transformative activity that focuses on patterns of collaboration between unfamiliar and unrooted individuals, as a measuring yard for the success and significance of Sisters. I will also argue that the social conditions that inspired Birringer’s vision also give fresh importance to Amelia Jones’s argument about the value of responding to a production or performance by means of secondary evidence, or ‘detritus’, as described by Mathew Reason.
