Boarding school since last decade awareness has emerged to take certain steps to improve the quality of human resources that address the challenges and needs of social transformation ( development ).  From this arises, the various models of human resource development.  Either in the form of changes in the boarding school curriculum more oriented to the present or in the form of a kind of new institutional boarding agribusiness. And even in some boarding schools have adopted the advanced technology.  Has taught a variety of technology based educational expertise and skills that lead to professional education.  This emphasis on field skills increasingly demanded boarding school for self-supporting and self-financing. Therefore, many of them boarding school like in slug Jannah Riyadlul Mojokerto directing the (santrinya) to engage in vocational activities in agribusiness ventures include snacks food agriculture,  livestock,   fisheries, trade,  lestoran, industrial development and so on.  Even the boarding school riyadlul slugs mojokerto Jannah has several business units as a vehicle for learning these skills through entrepreneurial skills of the students raised.  To then be directed towards the development of the management of economic enterprises when the students return to masyarakat. Research aims to develop students who performed mental entrepreneurship boarding school in Jannah riyadlul slugs mojokerto as an object of research . The success of this program thanks to the full support of caregivers,  administrators and all who are within the SDM boarding Riyadlul Jannah Mojokerto,  the enthusiasm of the students and the parents of the students in the following activities,  support from the government and local communities.  And barriers experienced in the program over to individual students because students who come from families or the environment department were at his home when it is the most dominant factor influencing students to be lazy.  Development of teaching and learning activities in preparing entrepreneurs should balance between theory and practice debriefing proportionally. Practice developing learning skills through real work who are interested in how to put it in a curricular or extra- curricular activities scheduled as long as the neat,  so it does not interfere with the other.  Development of learning materials provided to students should not be simply related to learning practical skills alone, but also entrepreneurship education should be given so that they actually have a stock to become entrepreneurs.

Authors: Rashid Md.  Abdur
Published: March 2017

Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh has been giving more emphasis to stable the economy by increasing Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) in Bangladesh. But the problem is that SMEs are facing great challenges developing business at starting and also sustaining due to incapacity in costly traditional marketing channels. It is also noted that most of the internet users are aware about use of internet as personal social media platform. SMEs of Bangladesh are not aware of using Social Media Marketing (SMM) as the tools for business growth especially at starter. The aim of this research study was to review the present various traditional marketing channels with cost to identify whether the cost is affordable or not for SME marketing as starter. Research objectives were also to find involvement with SMM as free marketing tools and to find laps and gaps of using SMM for SME business growth. This research study was designed in such a way that the sample selection presents the SME study population. Here in the research study, most relevant SME sectors and also booster sectors were included in sample design. This research study shown that only 17% Bangladesh SME’s are using SMM platform for business development. Following the objectives of this study, marketing channels both traditional and SMM were reviewed. How much SMEs are engaged in SMM was also studied. This research study came up with laps and gaps of SMEs at SMM for business growth. Recommendations were put following the findings.
Work placement reflective assessments and employability enhanced through highlighting graduate attributes.
Authors: Dunne Julie
Published: March 2017

This study investigated the effect of activities to promote awareness of specific prioritised graduate attributes on the quality of reflection displayed in pharmacy student work-placement reflective blog assessments.The paper focuses on the results from a thematic analysis of reflective writing assisted by NVivo software from a control and research group, using the a priori codes of ‘reflection’ and ‘graduate attributes’, as part of a Participatory Action Research study.The findings show an increase in reflection associated with graduate attributes in the research group compared to the control group. More importantly, there is evidence of an increase in the variety of graduate attributes being discussed by the research group, with the specifically prioritised attributes featuring most frequently. Additionally, the research group were much more likely to explicitly identify the skill or attribute by name.This shows that activities that emphasise graduate attributes within a curriculum in advance of entering an internship or work-placement can help students by providing a focal point to frame their work-placement experiences in their reflective assessments. Students have an increased tendency to frame their placement experiences in terms of graduate attributes, as well as core skills developed in the curriculum. This consequently broadens their reflection and advances their employability, particularly initially securing employment, through improved articulation and evidencing of their transferable skills. It also provides a means of assessing the development of graduate attributes, which is a challenging but necessary academic task in a modern professional curriculum.
Developing generic skills for students via extra-curricular activities in Vietnamese universities: Practices and influential factors
Authors: Nghia Tran Le Huu
Published: March 2017

Developing generic skills (GS) for students has become central in many higher education curricula lately. However, there is still a lack of studies regarding how these skills are developed for students, especially those in developing countries. Drawing from a PhD study, this article reports the contribution of extra-curricular activities in developing GS for students in Vietnamese universities and analyses factors influencing the effectiveness of developing GS for students via these activities. A content analysis of relevant documents and 69 interviews with university leaders, academics and organisers of the Youth union and its associates (YUA) showed that extra-curricular activities were involved as an integral component of a university’s strategy for training students in GS. This was due to a lack of curriculum autonomy, which restricted most Vietnamese universities from adding skills subjects into the curriculum, and the YUA also had a long-standing tradition of developing non-discipline-specific skills for students. The YUA were found to successfully develop GS for students via extra-curricular activities; however, their operation was influenced by university leadership, student participation, external stakeholders’ support, and the leadership of the YUA. The article argues that extra-curricular activities were conducive to developing GS for students; therefore, they should be included in student skills development programs in higher education.
Response of Glasshouse Grown Malt Barley Yield to Water Stress
Authors: Bello Zaid , Van Rensburg Leon , Dlamini Phesheya
Published: March 2017

Core Ideas

Malt barley was subjected to water stress at different growth stages.

The yield and yield components were used to evaluate the effect of water stress on barley.

Effect of water stress at anthesis growth stage is more pronounced than in other growth stages.

The study was performed to investigate the effect of water stress and duration of water stress at different growth stages on yield and yield components of glasshouse grown malt barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The crop was grown for two seasons on lysimeters, and was subjected to water stress at different growth stages (Late tillering, Flag leaf, Anthesis, and Milk/Dough) from the beginning until the end of each growth stage. Yield and yield components focused on were number of plants per pot (NP), tillers without ear (TWE), full ears (FE), empty ears (EE), mass of grains of 10 ears, total biomass per pot (TBPP) and total grain per pot (TGPP). Irrespective of season, results show that water stress during different growth stages did not significantly affect NP and EE but had a significant effect on TWE and FE. Total grain per pot produced due to the effect of water stress at Anthesis (105.110 and 29.860 g) and Milk/Dough (100.350 and 51.680 g) growth stages were lower than that of the well‐watered (177.570 and 99.310 g) for both seasons. Relative yield due to the effect of water stress confirmed that more yield will be lost per day if the crop experiences stress at Anthesis than other growth stages. This present an opportunity for improved management of irrigation scheduling for malt barley to maximize the period and level of irrigation water applications. Proper deficit irrigation during the Late tillering stage will help save water and reduce irrigation cost without significantly affecting grain yield.
Soybean Response to Broadcast Application of Boron, Chlorine, Manganese, and Zinc
Authors: Sutradhar Apurba K. , Kaiser Daniel E. , Behnken Lisa M.
Published: March 2017

Core Ideas

Application of B, Cl, and Zn increase soybean tissue concentration of each respective nutrient.

Addition of B, Cl, Mn, and Zn do not increase soybean grain yield and have a marginal impact on soybean grain quality.

Soil tests for B, Cl, and Zn do not predict soybean grain yield response and no relationships exist between trifoliate B, Cl, Mn, and Zn concentration to grain yield or their respective soil tests.

It is unlikely that micronutrients are needed to increase soybean grain yield.

Efficient use of micronutrients can potentially increase soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grain yield and economic return. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of broadcast application of micronutrients on soybean tissue nutrient concentration and grain yield and the relationships between soil and plant tissue tests. Three separate research trials were conducted at 35 sites from 2011 to 2014. Soybean response to Zn application was evaluated in Study 1; B, Mn, and Zn in Study 2; and B, Cl, Mn, and Zn in Study 3. Fertilizers were broadcast applied to the soil surface and incorporated prior to planting. Application of B, Cl, and Zn increased soybean trifoliate concentration of each respective nutrient but application of Mn did not. Addition of B, Cl, Mn, and Zn did not increase soybean grain yield and had a marginal impact on soybean grain quality. Application of 2.2 kg B ha−1 sometimes reduced soybean grain yield. Soil tests for B, Cl, and Zn did not predict soybean grain yield response and there were no relationships between trifoliate B, Cl, Mn, and Zn concentration to grain yield or their respective soil tests. Increased soybean grain yield did increase the removal of micronutrients, but it is unlikely that micronutrients are needed to increase soybean grain yield. Results from these studies conducted across Minnesota showed that broadcast application of B, Cl, Mn, and Zn do not increase soybean yield except for low Mn (<20 mg kg−1) where Mn application could increase soybean yield.
GoRoSoBo: an overall control diagram to improve the efficiency of water transport systems in real time
Authors: Bonet Enrique , Gómez Manuel , Yubero M. T. , Fernández-Francos J.
Published: March 2017

Agriculture plays an important part in the food chain and water resources for agriculture are essential. A problem is that the water transport systems present low efficiencies in practice. Crop yields must be optimized, and the goal of an operational water manager is to deliver water to irrigation sites accurately and efficiently. In order to fulfill this objective, we propose a centralized overall control diagram to optimize the management of the canal. Our control diagram in real time is mainly composed of two algorithms, CSE and GoRoSoBo. The first one is a powerful tool in canal management, and is able to estimate the real extracted flow in the canal and the hydrodynamic canal state from measured level data at selected points. The second one is an essential tool in the management of the canal, a feedback control algorithm operating in real time. The GoRoSoBo algorithm (Gómez, Rodellar, Soler, Bonet) is able to calculate the optimum gates trajectories for a predictive horizon taking into account the current canal state and the real extracted flow, both obtained by CSE.

Published: March 2017

A nivel mundial, la creciente generación de residuos sólidos corre pareja con una demanda de energía eléctrica que aumenta continuamente. Estos dos problemas en conjunto impactan el ambiente incrementando las emisiones de CO2 a la atmósfera. Para manejar los residuos sólidos se han planteado alternativas como la reutilización, el reciclaje o el reúso. Adicionalmente, se ha propuesto el waste to energy como una alternativa para generar energía a partir de los residuos. En este documento se plantea la comparación de los efectos ambientales asociados a la incineración de residuos (waste to energy) con las alternativas de reúso o reciclaje. El modelo planteado mediante la dinámica de sistemas se valida confrontándolo con la información que se tiene en Colombia sobre los residuos de envases plásticos. El modelo de simulación compara los efectos en cinco indicadores ambientales, encontrándose que dichos indicadores se ven favorecidos en algunos escenarios, pero que es necesario continuar investigando en el tema para tener resultados concluyentes y definitivos. Los resultados y las conclusiones buscan aportar elementos para mejorar los procesos de toma de decisión en este aspecto y abren un camino para continuar la investigación en este tema.

Published: March 2017

Moringa oleifera belongs to family of moringaceae and is considered as one of the world’s most useful trees, as almost every part of the plant can be used for either as food, or therapeutic purposes. Fatty diet is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty Liver disease (NAFLD). The study was designed to examine histological effects of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera on the liver tissues of wistar rat fed with high fat diet. Twenty five adult rats were divided into five groups of five animals each .While group A received distilled water daily only, groups Band C received aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera at doses of 200 mg/kg body weight and fat high diet (30% w/w of the total mash feed) respectively for a duration of seventy days. Others (groups D and E) received aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera at doses of 200 mg/kg body weight and fat high diet for a duration of seventy days. Histology of the liver of the rats fed with high fat diet exhibited significant changes in the architecture of liver tissue. The changes include micro and macro vascular steatosis, increased fatty infiltration, inflammation, sinusoidal dilation, degeneration of veins and vacuolization as compared to normal liver histology. Treatment with 200 mg/kg extract of Moringa oleifera significantly attenuated these effects imposed by high fat diet as compared to the control group. Therefore demonstrated that daily administration of Moringa oleifera leaves extract to rats for a period of 70 days may reverse the formation of hepatic steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Analysis On Cooperative Principle And Politeness Principle In Guest Complaining At X Hotel In Kuta-Bali
Authors: Karim Sayit Abdul
Published: March 2017

Language plays an important role in human life as a medium of communication. The communication between sender and receiver is the activity of conveying ideas, messages, attitude, and mood of both speakers and hearers. This paper attempts to analyze cooperative principle (CP) and politeness principle (PP) in guest complaining at x hotel in Kuta-Bali through a series of conversation at the front desk. The data were gathered from guest’s conversation record book from one of the hotels in Kuta-Bali. The conversations have been transcribed into a written text. The intended data were identified, classified, and then separately analyzed based on cooperative and politeness principle. A qualitative descriptive analysis was employed to analyze CP and PP in the guest complaining as in line with the theories which are proposed by Grice and Leech. The results of analysis show that the receptionist carefully observed both CP and PP, but the guest’s responses might not necessarily comply with those principles for some reasons.  Keywords: Cooperative principle, maxim, speech acts, politeness principle, pragmatics.
The “Jamaican Criminal” in Toronto, 1994: A Critical Ontology
Authors: D’Arcy Stephen
Published: March 2017

On Tuesday, April 5, 1994, in downtown Toronto, a 23-year-old woman named Georgina Leimonis was shot and killed in a café known as “Just Desserts.” The fear surrounding the incident was bound up from the beginning with concerns about a peculiar category of person—the “Jamaican criminal”—because the suspect sought by police in connection with the killing, and later convicted and imprisoned for it, had immigrated to Canada from Jamaica during his early childhood. This article discusses the construction of the Jamaican criminal in the English language press through the lens of Michael Foucault’s concept of critical ontology.
Creating Model Citizens for the Information Age: Canadian Internet Policy as Civilizing Discourse
Authors: Fraser Naomi
Published: March 2017

In the late 1990s, the Government of Canada launched a string of initiatives to usher its citizens into the “information age.” Recently, the federal government has announced “mission accomplished” in its pledge to become a “model user” of information technology, recognized around the world as the country most connected to its citizens. This paper interrogates the term “model user” as a marker of the changes occurring to techniques of government in our expanding information society. It proposes that the “model user” represents ways to negotiate the changing relationship between nation, state, and citizen associated with economic restructuring and signals a new civilizing discourse for citizen conduct amid the dynamic flows of information and ideas. Further, the “model user” suggests an emphasis on innovation that is implicated within larger discourses of economic globalization and the premium placed on adaptability and creativity. Finally, this paper makes vivid the connections between the “model user” and emerging discourses of Canada as a “model democracy” and Canadians as “model citizens” within the global context.
Island Time: The Media Logic and Ritual of Ferry Commuting on Gabriola Island, BC
Authors: Hodson Jaigris , Vannini Phillip
Published: March 2017

Drawing upon ethnographic data collected among residents of Gabriola Island, British Columbia, this article analyzes the meanings associated with the movement of the MV Quinsam—the primary means of transportation onto and off the island—and with the ritual of ferry commuting. By focusing on the logic of the ferry as a medium of communication and on the ritualistic aspects of commuting and by combining a symbolic interactionist perspective with the media theory of Harold Innis, the authors reflect on how the Gabriola Island ferry shapes islanders’ sense of time and thus experiences of lived culture.
Fit to Print: A Natural History of Obesity Research in the Canadian News Media
Authors: Roy Stephannie C. , Faulkner Guy , Finlay Sara-Jane
Published: March 2017

This natural-history approach to investigating media reports concerning health can reveal the complex process whereby health research becomes news. Using television and newspaper reports of a press event taken from a larger project, this article examines the inception and mediation of obesity research in the Canadian news media. By exploring questionnaire data, a media release, telephone interviews with journalists, and news reports, we can better understand the meaning making that occurs at all levels in the communications process. We conclude that there is an interdependent and possibly problematic relationship between health sources and journalists that shapes the inception and mediation of obesity research and the translation of health research to the public.
Doing Medical Journals Differently: Open Medicine, Open Access, and Academic Freedom
Authors: Willinsky John , Murray Sally , Kendall Claire , Palepu Anita
Published: March 2017

With considerable attention now being paid within scholarly communications to publication models that increase access to research, the launch of the open access journal Open Medicine demonstrates the contribution that open access, in all of its various economic models, can make to scholarly traditions of editorial independence, intellectual integrity, and academic freedom. This paper details the history of Open Medicine, which was born of an editorial-interference incident in the field of medical publishing, and offers a case study of the current political economy of academic publishing. This new journal demonstrates how open access, in combination with open source publishing and management software, enables new journals to more readily protect the academic freedom of researchers and scholars. As we argue, this method of publishing provides a venue for the emergence of new approaches, ideas, and independence from sources of competing interests in scholarly publishing.
Biotechnology, the Environment, and Alternative Media in Malaysia
Authors: Smeltzer Sandra
Published: March 2017

The Malaysian government has embarked on an ambitious path to make biotechnology a key driver of the country’s economic future. This burgeoning sector is being developed by a state with a problematic environmental track record, which does not bode well for the future. As mainstream Malaysian media are heavily controlled through a range of restrictive laws and hegemonic pressures to self-censor, critical coverage of biotechnology and its implicit ties to the environment is, not surprisingly, sparse. The focus of this article, however, is the relative scarcity of critical discussions about these issues in the country’s vital alternative media. This article offers a number of suggestions for this shortfall, including government restrictions on available information, the complexity of relevant issues, a lack of recognition of the industry’s importance, and the tenuous relationship between environmental NGOs and alternative media practitioners and organizations.
“Parachute Journalism” in Haiti: Media Sourcing in the 2003-2004 Political Crisis
Authors: Macdonald Isabel
Published: March 2017

The Canadian media’s reliance on parachute and wire agency journalists during the lead-up to the 2004 coup d’état in Haiti exemplified the trends associated with recent cuts to foreign news. A content analysis of the Globe and Mail, plus interviews with journalists, reveal that the deadline pressures and hotel journalism associated with these trends contributed, in the absence of coherent official messages on the Haiti crisis, to journalists’ reliance on sources from a U.S. and Canadian government–supported political movement spearheaded by Haiti’s business and media elite that sought to overthrow the democratically elected Haitian government.
An Emphatic Geography: Notes on the Ethical Itinerary of Landscape
Authors: van Wyck Peter C.
Published: March 2017

The year 2007 marked the beginning of the fourth International Polar Year, another frenzy of big science and circumpolar interest in questions of sovereignty, climate change, resources, and so on. At the same time, in the domain of the humanities, there are a host of re-elaborations of the very discourses of nordicity that seek to bring to light a North that is no longer merely an empty space and passage to elsewhere; rather, it is a North that has become a site and a figure, and a caution and a limit—a problem, in other words. My text proceeds from the unstable ground of this refigured nordicity. In the summer of 2005, I went North to the Mackenzie River basin with the typewritten field journals of Harold Innis. The young Innis had made the same trip in the summer of 1924, and my initial interest was an attempt to retrace his steps and to reflect on the place of North (as margin) in the development of his ideas at that time. Where his abiding concern had been production, innovation, and social relations, my own interest concerned method, writing, and landscape. Nonetheless, as I travelled up the length of the “River of Disappointment,” as Mackenzie called it, a methodological dialogue emerged.
Sui Generis:Tobacco Sponsorship Advertising and Canadian Campus Newspapers
Authors: Robinson Daniel J.
Published: March 2017

This article examines tobacco sponsorship advertising in 18 college and university newspapers in Canada from 2002 to 2004. It documents the financial value of tobacco advertising in the year before the federal ban on this form of advertising, which began in October 2003. Tobacco spending formed nearly half of these newspapers’ national advertising revenues. The paper examines advertising revenue and publishing output in the year following the ad ban. While national ad revenue fell 28% in 2003-04, this did not adversely affect newspaper operations: the newspapers published 1.4% more pages—and more issues—in 2003-04 than in the previous year. In accounting for this anomalous finding, the paper discusses the sui generis nature of campus newspapers, which embody elements of commercial and non-profit media, while remaining an under-researched and under-theorized area of communication studies.
The Framing of Climate Change in Canadian, American, and International Newspapers: A Media Propaganda Model Analysis
Authors: Ellen Good Jennifer
Published: March 2017

As a news story topic, climate change has potential narrative elements that include the oil industry and the earth’s climatic balance. With the world’s leading scientists now insisting that the story should be shifting from whether climate change is happening to “What are we going to do about it?” this article offers a critical comparative analysis of how American, Canadian, and international newspapers are framing this key issue. Based on Herman and Chomsky’s (1988) media propaganda model, the findings indicate that while newspapers in the United States might be avoiding the issue, all three “regions” show a hesitancy to frame climate change with either extreme weather consequences or oil reduction solutions.
