Goede docenten
Authors: Otten Marco
Published: April 2022

Een goede docent kan iemand zijn die zijn vak (ambachtelijk) verstaat, of iemand die ‘deugt’. Die verschillende betekenissen zijn beide terug te vinden in omschrijvingen van competenties en ‘professionaliteit ’, waarin zowel naar ambachtelijke als naar mens- en maatschappijgerichte waarden wordt verwezen. Professionalisering lijkt echter vooral gericht op ontwikkeling van ambachtelijke competenties; daarmee wordt de minder meetbare mens- en maatschappijgerichtheid verwaarloosd. Normatieve professionalisering kan worden beschouwd als het proces van bewustwording van de eigen identiteit als docent en de vertaling van de eigen normen en waarden naar het onderwijs . Goede methoden daarvoor zijn de ‘kernreflectie’ en het intercollegiale gesprek over ambachtelijke en mens- en maatschappijgerichte waarden.
Hydraulic and Water Quality Modelling of Water Distribution Networks Using EPANET Software
Authors: Junaid C.T. , Izinyon O.C.
Published: April 2022

In this study, hydraulic analysis of two water distribution networks was carried out using EPANET 2.0 software developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The study networks are: a hypothetical 65-pipe water distribution network that had been solved by the Linear Theory method; and an existing water distribution network serving the University of Benin Ekehuan campus, for which hydraulic analysis and study for the system improvement had been previously carried out using WaterCAD software. This present study was therefore undertaken to investigate EPANET’s capability in executing hydraulic analysis and deploying it for water quality simulation studies of the campus’ water distribution system, which was not part of the scope of the previous study. The hydraulic analysis results showed that the average of deviations from solved values for total head, pressure head, and flow are 4.23%, 7.69%, and 7.15% respectively, which falls within an acceptable range. Results from the water quality analysis study in which water age and optimum residual chlorine dosage required were used as surrogates for water quality indicate that the existing water distribution network of the campus has a water age and optimum residual chlorine of 1.68 hours and 0.220mg/L respectively, while same for the proposed improved water distribution network of the campus are 5.56 hours and 0.255mg/L respectively. Expectedly, the water age and optimum residual chlorine of the improved network are higher than those of the existing network, as the pipe sizes and storage capacity in the improved network are larger to serve the increased future population of the ultimate design period. Even at that, the obtained values are within acceptable limits prescribed by the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) guidelines. Hence, it is concluded that EPANET and WaterCAD are efficient piped-water network simulation software and can be relied on for use in developing countries.

Published: April 2022

This study focuses on Management Information System (MIS) Adoption in Microfinance Banks (MFBs) in Oyo State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study analyzed factors influencing the adoption of MIS in microfinance banks. Primary data was collected with the aid of administered questionnaire on some selected microfinance banks staff. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistical tools to determine factors influencing adoption of MIS in Microfinance banks’ in Oyo State, Nigeria. While inferential statistical tools of Multiple Regression and ANOVA were used to determine factors with significant contributions to MIS adoption and at what degrees. Results revealed that Relative advantage- the extent to which a technology provides improvement over currently available tools, Complexity- simplicity of the technology’s use or learning, and Compatibility- consistency of the innovation with social practices and norms among its users were the significant factors that influenced adoption of MIS in Microfinance Banks and were significantly different from one another. It is thus recommended that Common management information system platform should be recommended to all Nigerian microfinance banks by the regulatory authorities for suitable MIS adoption.

Authors: Adewoye J. O. , Olugbenga Oni Babatunde
Published: April 2022

This study examines the impact of E-HRM on the performance of selected deposits money banks in Nigeria. Secondary data were used for the study which was obtained from annual financial statements of selected deposits money banks from 2006 to 2015. Bank Performance are measured using return on equity (ROE) which is dependent variable while E-HRM variables like e-recruitment, e-training, e-selection, e-evaluation, e-compensation and e-benefit are independent variables. Panel Data analysis technique was used to analyse the effect of independent variables on dependent variable. The study revealed that E-SELEC, E-TRAIN, and E-EVAL had positive significant effect on ROE (β=0.0359; 0.1436; 0.1611, t=0.009; 0.000; 0.001<0.05). Contrarily, E-RECRUIT, E-COMP and E-BENEF had negative significant impact on ROE (β=-0.1279; -0.0017 and 0.2231; t=0.012; 0.000; 0.003<0.05). Based on the empirical findings, it is concluded that E-recruitment, E-selection. E-training, E-evaluation, E-compensation and E-benefits are major determinants of E-HRM. Also, there is negative relationship between E-HRM and return on equity. Similarly, E- HRM had negative significant effects on Return on Equity (Bank Performance). It is now recommended that Banks should improve on their incentives to their staffs so as to facilitate higher employee performance in Nigerian Banking sector.

Authors: Akpaniwo Moureen G. , Akpan Godwin E.
Published: April 2022

This paper is on the assessment of financial intermediation and economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2015. Specifically, this study evaluated the impact of financial intermediation and direction of causality between financial intermediation and economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2015. To achieve the objectives, the study employed the unit root test, the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) and the Granger Causality test technique. The results of the unit root test showed that the variables are integrated at I~ (0) and I~ (1). The result of the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) analysis shows that financial intermediation is a positive and a significant determinant of economic growth in Nigeria. This partly explains why the private sector is indeed a good driver of economic growth. This paper recommends that the government should implement policies that will aid easy access to credit from financial institutions by the people in the society for investment purposes.
An Analysis of the History of Public Sector Trade Unionism in Zimbabwe
Authors: Ndlovu Sifiso
Published: April 2022

Before independence, labour policies and laws were oppressive towards the employment of African workers. Industrial relations were based on master- servant relationship. Employment was in a four-tiered structure, whereby Europeans were at the top followed by Asians, Coloureds and Africans at the bottom. Employers determined the working conditions unilaterally. The introduction of the tax system was used to discriminate African workers and to control labour movement. Africans worked in order to pay discriminatory tax such as the poll tax or hut tax. This official discrimination made the problem of African Workers worse. The workers were not only discriminated in working places but also on the basis of race and colour. African workers, therefore, used every opportunity to protest against poor working conditions and official discrimination on racial grounds. The fight against colonial rule cannot be differentiated from the fight for workers’ rights. And this could explain why the current labour movement in Zimbabwe is politicized in a way

Published: April 2022

This study evaluated failure rates of roads maintained by FERMA in Delta state and its effects. The three roads investigated are: Benin-Asaba dual carriage way (266km), Warri-Sapele-Benin dual carriage way and Asaba -Allah-Ebu Edo state border road(47km). Road condition survey was carried out on the three roads to ascertain the extent of deterioration. Sieve analysis, liquid limit, compaction and CBR tests were conducted on the material used for the maintenance works for quality control purpose. Liquid limit, optimum moisture content, unsoaked CBR values were 21%, 8.5% and 117% respectively. These were observed to be within the FMW highway manual guidelines. It was observed that beyond 12months, Benin-Asaba and Warri-Benin roads experienced 2% and 5% failure rates while Asaba-Illah recorded 30% failure rate within a 12month period. These failures were attributed to heavy traffic with heavy duty wheel. Challenges of road maintenance in the field and remedial measures for highway maintenance is also discussed. The authors recommend that FERMA should seek redress and go back to the establishing blue print for operations and funding and also refers to Federal Roads Authority bill (2015) for backups. These tools have been provided to equip the agency to carry out her mandate effectively keeping the road infrastructures in good condition.
Class Politics in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic: Myths and Realities
Authors: Oriakhi Felix O. U. , Akhaine Sylvester Odion-
Published: April 2022

Mainstream and dominant global north-influenced social science scholarship in contemporary Nigeria dismisses the class factor in both socio-political engineering and scholarship as non-existent. While the chief priests of this brand of social science scholarship denies its liberal origins, undercurrents and ferments and claim to be neutral in its investigations, the dialectical-historical materialist method of social investigation prioritizes the class question. This study, an interrogation of the place of class in the politics of the Fourth Republic in Nigeria, examines the social forces which shape and direct current politics in the country, and why the country’s socio-economic, cultural and political development continue to fall into bouts of epilepsies and create a number of millions of citizens at the bottom level of society. But the study restates the fact that it may seemingly be unscientific for ultra-left thinking to centralize Nigerian politics mainly on class forces.

Published: April 2022

Primary Health Care is the first point of contact for most Nigerians with respect to the health care system, but the level of clients’ access and utilization are mostly plagued with distinct problems across geographic locations, thereby impeding sustainable development of rural communities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the intriguing relationships existing among location, distance, and the utilization of government-owned primary health care facilities (PHCF) by residents in Isiala-Mbano, Imo State. A stratified random sampling method was used to select a sample population of 475. Questionnaire and interviews were used to elicit information from the respondents, while geospatial tools were used for mapping the spatial distributions of three Health Posts and fourteen Health Centers. Analyses of data using descriptive statistics, geographic information system, nearest neighbour analysis, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, and student’s t-test revealed that: (i) PHCF’s are randomly distributed within the study area as indicated by the Nearest Neighbour Index of R = 1.164. (ii) Estimated Euclidean distances from users’ houses to nearest PHCFs showed that 66.5 percent of the users live within 1 km and 33.5 percent live between 1 km to 2.3 km from the nearest PHCFs. (iii) Average Nearest Neighbour Distance gave 1.3708 km with good topography. (iv) The ratio of population to health center gave 11,972:1, implying that Isiala-Mbano is adequately served by primary health care centers, but the levels of utilizations were generally very low due to lack of doctors and valid drugs for patients. A test of Hypothesis showed that there is no significant relationship between the distance of primary health care facilities and the level of utilization in the study area. Hence, this study recommended timely health care facility reform through the supply of essential drugs and employment of specialized manpower sustainably to attend to patients in the study area.

Design of Modified Luo Converter for Electric Vehicle Battery Charger
Authors: Vijay S. , Chitra S.
Published: April 2022

Higher energy and battery efficiency are now major concerns for Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturers and consumers. The main component of the two-stage EV on-board charger is the DC-DC converter. The phase displacement of full-bridge to operate the switch at either zero voltage or zero current in a power switch DC-DC converter, currently has issues such as voltage variation on the consequent side, which is secondary of the transformer, and it implies poor performances. Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters used in modern EV chargers achieve high performance and adequacy throughout charging. A modified luo converter is designed to achieve high efficiency in EV charging.
A luo converter is a type of PFC that is commonly used as a converter of DC to DC with improved voltage regulation in the presence of rapidly changing line voltages. In this aimed work, a reformed separate Luo converter-based electric vehicle charger is developed. To suppress voltage oscillations, two devices which means switches and two clipping diodes are connected at the elementary side in the detachment of High Frequency Transformer (HFT). The Luo converter handles Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) of operation, decreases control complexity, and keeps converter's output constant. In the feedback system, the Constant Current and Constant Voltage (CC-CV) mode technique is used in conjunction with the PI controller to improve competence and reduce transmission leakage. The proposed system's performance is evaluated by applying in MATLAB/SIMULINK software, and the outcomes are promising.
Robust Dissipative-based PI Observer Design for the State of Charge estimation of a Lithium-Ion Battery
Authors: Poornesh Kumar K. S. , Ranjith Kumar K.
Published: April 2022

As the battery is a non-linear system, a robust dissipative-based Proportional Integral (PI) observer is proposed in this work to estimate the SoC. As special cases based on energy-related concerns, the theory of the dissipative concept incorporates H∞, passivity, and L2 performances. In particular, developing Dissipative PI Observer for the SoC system with disturbances, uncertainty and non-linearity are the major novelties in this study. The suggested system's findings are compared to the results of the Equivalent circuit model method and Coulomb-Counting method. MATLAB/SIMULINK is used to simulate the proposed system. Moreover, using Lyapunov stability theory, a novel set of adequate necessities in terms of LMI is erected to secure the conservative outcome.

Authors: Sushmithawathi K. , Indra P.
Published: April 2022

Although Covid-19 caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, is a deadliest disease, many people experienced mild symptoms and were recovered soon. In this paper, coronavirus can be easily detected using CT scan images of affected patients. Initially, images are pre-processed by filters like Median filter and Noise adaptive fuzzy switching median filter, and then the quality measurements like MSE, and PSNR are calculated. After preprocessing, segmentation is done by K-means and Robust self sparse fuzzy clustering algorithm, and then the parameters like LMSE and NAE are calculated. Finally, to get optimum results, feature extraction using GLDM is performed which helps in identifying whether it's a normal lung disease like pneumonia or the patient is affected by covid.
Administrative Sabotage
Authors: Noll David
Published: April 2022

Government can sabotage itself. From the president’s choice of agency heads to agency budgets, regulations, and litigating positions, presidents and their appointees have undermined the very programs they administer. But why would an agency try to put itself out of business? And how can agencies that are subject to an array of political and legal checks sabotage statutory programs?

This Article offers an account of the “what, why, and how” of administrative sabotage that answers those questions. It contends that sabotage reflects a distinct mode of agency action that is more permanent, more destructive, and more democratically illegitimate than more-studied forms of maladministration. In contrast to an agency that shirks its statutory duties or drifts away from Congress’s policy goals, one engaged in sabotage aims deliberately to kill or nullify a program it administers. Agencies sabotage because presidents ask them to. Facing pressure to dismantle statutory programs in an environment where securing legislation from Congress is difficult and politically costly, presidents pursue retrenchment through the administrative state.

Building on this positive theory of administrative sabotage, this Article considers legal responses. The best response, this Article contends, is not reforms to the cross-cutting body of administrative law that structures most agency action. Rather, the risk of sabotage is better managed through changes to how statutory programs are designed. Congress’s choices about agency leadership, the concentration or dispersal of authority to implement statutory programs, the breadth of statutory delegations, and other matters influence the likelihood that sabotage will succeed or fail. When lawmakers create or modify federal programs, they should design them to be less vulnerable to sabotage by the very agencies that administer them.
Contractual Inequality
Authors: Padi Manisha
Published: April 2022

Most individuals strive to satisfy every obligation laid out in standard form contracts such as mortgages, insurance plans, or credit agreements. Sophisticated parties, however, adapt and modify their obligations during contract performance by negotiating for lenient treatment and taking advantage of unclear terms. The common law explicitly authorizes variance from standardized contract terms during performance. When the same standard terms create value for sophisticated individuals and destroy value for others, the result is contractual inequality. Contractual inequality has grown without scrutiny by courts or scholars, enabling regressive redistribution of resources and creating economic inefficiency by sowing distrust in markets for consumer contracts.

To document the magnitude of contractual inequality, this Article provides novel empirical evidence from a case study of residential mortgage contracts. Data from a large nationwide sample show that many mortgage servicers choose not to utilize their power to foreclose on a borrower in default, with more than one-third of nonpaying borrowers avoiding foreclosure. Servicers disproportionately foreclose on borrowers in poor neighborhoods, regressively redistributing over $500 million in wealth to high-income communities each year. Moreover, servicers’ unfettered freedom to choose who undergoes foreclosure may have reduced the value of mortgages to consumers, increasing market inefficiency.

Courts and regulators need not turn a blind eye to contractual inequality, allowing private market forces to determine the exercise of contract rights. This Article argues that lawmakers should gather information about inequalities in contract performance and disseminate such data to private and public enforcement authorities. By bringing these inequalities to light, lawmakers can take a first step toward more efficient contract markets and a more equal society.
Rent Strikes and Tenant Power: Supporting Rent Strikes in Residential Landlord-Tenant Law
Authors: Gowing Samantha
Published: April 2022

For more than a century, low-income tenants across cities in the United States have protested and organized together against unjust housing conditions. Yet landlords continue to evade accountability, leaving mold, pests, lead paint, unclean water, and innumerable other issues unaddressed. On top of habitability concerns, the past several decades of gentrification have displaced hundreds of thousands of Black and brown residents from their communities. To address these issues, legal reforms have focused on either housing-market regulation or individual rights devoid of effective enforcement mechanisms. These reforms fall short. Tenant power, not just tenant-focused housing reform, should be a concern of policymakers and legal scholars. This Note focuses specifically on rent strikes as an important organizing strategy that the law can and should better support. Legislation supporting rent strikes has the potential to offer tenants powerful tools as they organize for their communities and secure access to quality and affordable housing. This Note proposes a cluster of four legislative proposals that reflect tenants’ ongoing organizing strategies and, if enacted, would enhance tenants’ autonomy in their private bargaining with landlords.
Unfair Collection: Reclaiming Control of Publicly Available Personal Information from Data Scrapers
Authors: Parks Andrew
Published: April 2022

Rising enthusiasm for consumer data protection in the United States has resulted in several states advancing legislation to protect the privacy of their residents’ personal information. But even the newly enacted California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)—the most comprehensive data privacy law in the country— leaves a wide-open gap for internet data scrapers to extract, share, and monetize consumers’ personal information while circumventing regulation. Allowing scrapers to evade privacy regulations comes with potentially disastrous consequences for individuals and society at large.

This Note argues that even publicly available personal information should be protected from bulk collection and misappropriation by data scrapers. California should reform its privacy legislation to align with the European Union’s General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), which requires data scrapers to provide notice to data subjects upon the collection of their personal information regardless of its public availability. This reform could lay the groundwork for future legislation at the federal level.
Judge Gorsuch and Johnson Resentencing (This is Not a Joke)
Authors: Litman Leah
Published: April 2022

Jan Crawford has reported that President Donald Trump is strongly considering appointing Judge Neil Gorsuch of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to the U.S. Supreme Court. I do not know Judge Gorsuch, but I do know his opinion in Prost v. Anderson, which is a rather wonky case on a somewhat technical area of federal habeas law. Prost provides an interesting insight into Judge Gorsuch’s jurisprudence. The case concerns an issue on which the courts of appeals disagree, so it provides a nice glimpse into how Judge Gorsuch might address matters that are reasonably susceptible to different resolution, as many of the Supreme Court’s cases are. Prost illustrates how Judge Gorsuch will balance competing considerations of fairness and administrability in criminal law. While there is much to like about Prost—it is well written, clearly reasoned, and adopts an administrable rule—the opinion also raises some concerns. The opinion overvalues proceduralism relative to substantive rights in a way that will have the effect of eroding litigants’ access to courts.
Soundings and Silences
Authors: Tribe Laurence
Published: April 2022

My work over the years has included both studying existing constitutions, particularly that of the United States, and assisting others with the drafting of new constitutions—from the Marshall Islands to the Czech Republic to South Africa. Among the things I noticed was that those undertakings, although distinct, were related—and related most significantly in the way that formative decisions about what to say and what not to say in a new constitution have bearing on later decisions about how to interpret what a constitution says or fails to say. My decision to pay special attention to the various roles of silence in the distinct but related projects of constitution-making and constitution-interpreting was underscored by an observation a law student of mine (Louis Fisher, J.D. 2016) once made about how he had been struck by the “presence of absence” in Berlin’s modern urban landscape. My student was moved by the way Berlin harnessed the “power of negative space in framing the public memory of World War II, from skeletal monuments outlining former churches to negative-space sculptures of murdered Jewish families.” I was born in Shanghai to Russian Jewish refugees, many of whose closest relatives had perished in the pogroms of Russia or had been silenced in the ultimate sense at the hands of the Nazis. That made this image of absence particularly vivid and meaningful to me. As I look back at where I came from and what I’ve done over the course of my professional life, it strikes me that attempting to organize and give structure to the study of legal silence has been a primary purpose of much of what I have written and taught over the past half-century. In recent years, I decided to focus more systematically on that attempt in an advanced seminar I have been teaching at Harvard Law School and, to a lesser degree, in courses I have taught as a University Professor to Harvard College undergraduates. This paper is an outgrowth of that effort—an outline of how I hope to pursue it in the years that remain, and how I hope others will pursue it as well.

Published: April 2022

Government of India has implemented Goods & Services Tax (GST) in India on 1 July, 2017. The obective of this research paper is to explain the mechanism of GST and its effects on Indian economy. The Kelkar Committee was convinced that a dual GST system shall be able to tax almost all the goods and services and the Indian economy shall be able to have wider market of tax base, improve revenue collection through levying and collection of indirect tax and more pragmatic approach of efficient resource allocation. Under the Goods and Service Tax mechanism, every person is be liable to pay tax on output and shall be entitled to enjoy credit on input tax paid and tax shall be only on the amount of value added. The historic GST or goods and services tax has become a reality. GST is going to consolidate these multiple taxes into one as ‘One Nation, One Market, and One Tax’. Integration of goods and services tax would definitely lead to ease of doing business and simplifies tax compliance. GST bill will be a form for economic integration of India. Government of India, this surplus revenue may contribute to the growth of economy by way of investment in various infrastructural & development projects by Government of India. GST may have positive impact on economy, four tier structure of tax rate under GST may result into massive price hike of luxurious Goods & Services as well Government has taken efforts to put Goods & Services of necessity under lowest slab of tax rate. This is the major indirect tax reform in the history of India, outcome of which various Central & State taxes subsumed under GST viz. Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, Additional Duty of Excise, Surcharges, Cess, Countervailing Duty, Special Additional Duty, Sales Tax, VAT, Purchase Tax, Luxury Tax, Entry Tax etc.

Perkembangan teknologi jaringan khusus jaringan yang berbasis wireless begitu pesat, terutama terkait dengan teknologi perangkat jaringan itu sendiri .  Interkoneksi yang begitu komplek menuntut setiap perangkat WIFI memiliki kemampuan untuk memproteksi agar hanya pengguna yang memiliki otorisasi yang dapat terkoneksi keperangkat WIFI tersebut , salah satu fitur keamanan akses jaringan WIFI yang saat ini ada adalah dengan menggunakan MAC Address.  Keamanan akses pada jaringan WIFI sangat diperlukan untuk menghindar terjadi pengaksesan internet oleh pihak yang tidak memiliki otorisasi, untuk menghindari penyalahgunaan itu maka diperlukan proteksi terhadap jaringan yang dimiliki. Dengan melakukan mac address filtering diharapkan hanya perangkat yang terdaftar saja yang hanya dapat terhubung ke perangkat WIFI tersebut

Abstract— Selada adalah salah satu jenis daun sayur yang paling banyak dibudayakan. Daun Memiliki ciri khas warnanya masing-masing. Daun sendiri akan mengalami perubahan warna ketika sudah matang atau memasuki masa panennya. Berdasarkan perbedaan warna ini petani atau masyarakat yang menanam tanam selada melakukan panen. Namun, Cara ini memiliki kekurangan karena mata manusia memiliki keterbatasan dalam membedakan warna sehingga selada yang dipanen terkadang masih belum masanya atau sudah melewati masa panennya. Maka dari itu dibuatlah suatu sistem pengolahan citra digital untuk dapat mengklasifikasikan kematangan daun selada dengan metode dan proses yang tepat. Penelitian ini mengusulkan Klasifikasi Kematangan Daun Selada Berdasarkan Fitur Warna Menggunakan K-Nearest Neighbor. Dalam Penelitian ini diguanakan 60 dataset citra daun selada. Proses dan Metode yang diusulkan yaitu, akuisisi citra, prepocessing, segmentasi dengan metode thresholding dan operasi morfologi, dan terakhir tahap klasifikasi dengan K-Nearest Neighbor. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, diperoleh tingkat akurasi sebesar 98%. Diharapkan sistem ini dapat membantu petani selada dan dapat menjadi standar untuk menciptakan sistem yang lebih baik.

Published: April 2022

Les entreprises ont du mal à trouver des talents en cyber sécurité et les postes restent vacants pendant des mois. Selon le dernier rapport de l’(ISC)² il manque aujourd'hui 2,72 millions de professionnels de cybersécurité sur le marché du travail. 57 % des organisations affirment être touchées par cette pénurie de compétences (Oltsik et Lundell, 2021). La pénurie mondiale de cyber-personnel a un impact direct et significatif sur les organisations et leur capacité à se protéger. En lien avec cette pénurie, le secteur de la cybersécurité observe une hausse des salaires, une augmentation de la charge de travail et des tactiques de recrutement de plus en plus agressives. Pour inverser cette tendance, il devient urgent de réinventer le recrutement en gardant à l’esprit la dimension dynamique du secteur pouvant entraîner une obsolescence rapide des compétences.
Development of strategies for monitoring and managing sandscape vegetation, with an assessment of declining vegetation in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore

Coastal dune habitats such as those of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (APIS) are regionally rare habitats of global and state-wide concern. Their dynamic, sandy landforms provide habitat for unique species specifically adapted to frequent disturbance, drought, and other stresses. Despite having disturbance-driven life histories, these species are at risk due to increased visitor use of sandscape habitats and environmental change. Resource managers at APIS have long understood the values of these sandscapes and threats presented by recreational trampling, but more recently they have recognized the precarious position that these coastal habitats are in due to their proximity to the lake and exposure to weather-related phenomena linked with long-term climate change. In recognition of emerging threats and the need to track impacts of these threats, park managers initiated a revision of their methods for monitoring sandscape vegetation. We applied these methods to 15 sandscape locations within the national lakeshore in 2014. Here, we outline what these revisions to the methods were, assess the current status of sandscape structure and composition, assess the utility of data collected with these methods, provide suggestions for further revisions of the sampling method, outline a two-tiered sampling approach for future monitoring, and we provide management recommendations. In a second section of the report, we provide a focused assessment of the size and health of Juniperus communis (common juniper), a target species of concern in these sandscape communities after it was observed by park managers to be dying or stressed on Michigan Island. Our assessments include the status of J. communis across all sandscapes monitored in 2014, and an analysis of change over time since 2012 in the health of J. communis on Michigan, Outer, and Stockton Islands. We provide evidence of impacts by rodents on foliar dieback, primarily on Michigan Island, and we discuss possible interactions with the non-native pale juniper web-worm (Aethes rutilana) and with climate change.
THE INFLUENCE OF SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS ON TEACHING FUNCTIONAL TEXTS IN A WRITING CLASS
Authors: Irianti Leni
Published: April 2022

This article analyzed the functional text and register in Systemic-Functional theoretical framework. It explored how both register and genre realized in pedagogic models especially in English business writing course. In English as a foreign-language, writing for functional texts is considered important in teaching learning activities. The register and genre were considered in composing the application letter. It was used the teaching cycle of Genre Based Approach (henceforth GBA) to connect between register and genre in the writing functional text especially in writing application letter activities. There were the models of functional writing provided and the students followed the teaching cycle of GBA the students compose the letter of application. The most noticeable qualities of generic structures and tenor awareness tended to be emphasized by lecturer over less-evident lexico-grammatical patterns. It is also important of how the students’ recognize stages of formal letters. This was suggested that choice of genre and more systematic attention to details of register (especially tenor) awareness are truly important in writing formal letter for learners English for Business Writing class.

This research was conducted to analyse the denotative and connotative meaning of Indonesian sexist metaphors. The metaphors were collected from various sources, such as online sources, Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), song lyrics, poems, movies, and newspaper. There were two research questions formulated as follows: 1) What are the Indonesian sexist metaphors? and 2) What are the denotative and connotative meaning of the sexist metaphors? The method of this research was qualitative method, specifically content analysis. This method has two sources, they are primary and secondary sources. The primary source was the metaphors found in various sources. The secondary sources were theories of metaphor, denotative and connotative meaning, and sexist language. The metaphors were analysed using Lakoff and Johnson’s theory (1980) and the meaning of the metaphor was analysed using Parera’s theory (2004). In identifying the sexist in the metaphor, this study used the sexist language theory from Mills (1995). The results of this research showed that there were 32 Indonesian sexist metaphors, 16 of which belonged to female and the other 16 to male. Each metaphor had both connotative and denotative meanings. Based on the findings, it could be concluded that Indonesian language has sexist metaphors for both male and female.
