Genre and regenring for educating managers in reflective practice
Authors: Holtham Clive , Dove Angela 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article examines the modest state of reflective practice in management education despite the increasing need for approaches that challenge the traditional overemphasis on rational tools and techniques. Business communication and business writing in UK management education generally take a very conventional approach to genre. As an antidote, emphasis is laid here on the use of journaling in business education including the lecturers actually doing it themselves routinely. This article includes as a worked example the creation of a journal at a Genre workshop in Middleport Pottery.
Embodying regenring: Analysing the Genre Furoshiki using English’s theoretical framework
Authors: Gröppel-Wegener Alke 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Really my contribution to this issue is an artefact – a regenring of Fiona English’s Orientations of Genres framework as a furoshiki, a Japanese wrapping cloth. But as I cannot share this with all of you beyond a photograph, the best way of describing it within the constraints of a (printed) journal is as this article, part origin story, part analysis… but really this is the story of how by applying the framework, I started to understand it much better (and how I now propose to change it)! The purpose of this article is to use English’s Orientations of Genres framework to compare the Genre Furoshiki (a Japanese wrapping cloth designed to represent said framework and to serve as a delegate pack for a workshop on using genre in higher education) to the two genres it grew out of – a summary of the framework itself, namely English’s 2015 chapter ‘Using genre as a pedagogical resource’ (which we included in the material disseminated to delegates after the workshop), and the traditional conference tote bag so often used as a receptacle for a delegate pack. As the framework was developed with mainly linguistic genres in mind, it will be critiqued as to its suitability in discussing artefactual genres, and I argue that Gestalt Principles and Jacques Bertin’s visual attributes make a useful extension to the framework itself.
‘It’s not what we teach but how we teach it’: Regenring the complex concepts of business for the creative student
Authors: Smith Annabel 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article, presented in the genre of a comic strip, reflects on the difficulties of teaching business content in the fashion curriculum through using a traditional linear inductive approach, an approach that students seemed to consider presented content that was completely irrelevant, unengaging and caused them to stop attending sessions. Using the abductive explorative visual learning strategies preferred by the divergent, creative thinking fashion students at Harrogate College, a series of comic books were developed, covering the same content of business studies previously, but in a very different way. The resulting engagement of students shows that it was not the content we were teaching them but how we were teaching them that created the previous lack of engagement.
Sceptics and supporters of corporate use of behavioural data: Attitudes towards informational privacy and Internet surveillance in Sweden
Authors: Leckner Sara 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
With the growing use of the Internet, companies are increasingly collecting and using personal data for commodifying purposes, resulting in both benefits and privacy risks for users and raising the issue of corporate surveillance. The present article investigates people’s attitudes towards corporate collection of personal data, discusses possible reasons for attitude results in relation to self-regulation, trust and media context, and compares these findings with results from the previous year. The study is based on a survey using a large-n probability sample of the Swedish population. The results are in accordance with the suggested privacy paradox: the majority of the population, as in the previous year, have negative attitudes towards corporate collection of their data, largely independent of context. Nonetheless, they continue to share their data without making any great effort to secure their privacy. Whether this depends on inexperience, ignorance or resignation, everyday corporate surveillance does not meet expectations regarding the just governing of informational privacy. As the results showed that the more positive people were towards sharing their data in various contexts, the more positively this affected their attitudes towards the fact that the data were being used by the collecting companies for various purposes, balancing out the power differences online would benefit not only users but also companies to a great extent.
All-seeing eyes: Metaphors of surveillance in the media monitoring industry
Authors: Carlsson Eric , Jarlbrink Johan 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse and compare how technologies of media monitoring have been imagined as seeing devices at two turning points in media history – around 1900 and in the 2000s. The press-cutting agencies that were established during the late nineteenth century, depending on human eyes and scissors, were said to deliver customized news updates, business data and information on public opinion. As seeing devices, they took names such as Argus, Observer and Atlas. These agencies made it possible to see the world on paper. Today, media monitoring depends on automatic processes rather than human eyes. Yet, digital technologies are usually represented by images of old media devices such as magnifying glasses, binoculars, telescopes and watchtowers. These well-known and transparent technologies make the black boxes of digital media seem less strange, but they might also mask the assumptions and complexities that are built into them.
Surveillance through media, by media, in media
Authors: Bolin Göran , Jerslev Anne 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Following the spread of digital media, the interdisciplinary field of surveillance studies has gained prominence, engaging scholars from the humanities and the social sciences alike. This introductory article aims to map out the main terrain of surveillance through, by and in the media. First, we discuss the phenomenon of, and the scholarly work on, surveillance through and by media, taking into consideration both state and corporate surveillance and how these activities have grown with the new digital and personal media of today. We then discuss surveillance as the phenomenon is represented in the media and how representations relate to surveillance practices. We conclude by presenting the articles of this special issue.
Paid or semi-public media? The Norwegian film industry’s strategies for social media
Authors: Holmene Ingeborg 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In this article, I explore how conglomerates and the independent film companies in Norway conceptualize their social media strategies before the release of their films in movie theatres. I analyse applications made to the Norwegian Film Institute’s (NFI) support programme for promotional grants in 2015. The ability of individual companies to interpret and go beyond a framing of social media as semi-public platforms – where companies can gain visibility free of charge – is one indication of how strategic knowledge differs. Major distributors tend to perceive social media as a place to buy attention from a targeted audience. Thus, they are taking advantage of traffic data offered by surveillance technologies embedded in social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. This, I argue, is a distinct feature of strategic resources linked to power, networks and knowledge about audiences, which intensify power differentials between large, established corporations and small-scale independent players.
Privacy under surveillance: Towards a conceptual analysis of the price of connection
Authors: Heikkilä Heikki 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In political discussion, surveillance and privacy are often interconnected. This implies that the crucial choice we as citizens are expected to make is basically a trade-off: which do we value more: our security – which is partly safeguarded by surveillance – or our privacy? This article sets out to problematize the notion of trade-off through a conceptual analysis of surveillance and privacy. Given that surveillance and privacy belong to distinct conceptual systems, this analysis calls for two separate discussions. On the one hand, the analysis of surveillance needs to pay attention to the institutional legacy of surveillance practices and focus on the role of digital technologies in upgrading and extending the capacities of surveillance. The analysis of privacy, on the other hand, takes into account that people’s activities in privacy are embedded in the fabric of their everyday lives. Four set of practices seem central to privacy: dignity, retreat, anonymity and secrecy.
Whistleblowers and journalistic ideals: Surveillance, Snowden and the meta-coverage of journalism
Authors: Eide Elisabeth , Kunelius Risto 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article focuses on meta-coverage – what was said about journalism – in the debates evoked by the revelations about mass surveillance of Edward Snowden in 2013. Drawing on close readings of a wide sample of commentaries and other such writings we argue that this discussion of the performance and role of journalism points to key issues in the contemporary journalistic field. This meta-discourse sees journalism as a central arena for the exercise of political power, particularly investigative journalism, and the notion of the whistleblower, revealing a set of different field relations. The debates highlight source protection, which is under increased threat in many countries. Moreover, in the aftermath of the revelations, we also witness a strained relationship between editors and reporters, both in the UK and US press. The article analyses how the Snowden debate ignited the issue of the professional roles between advocacy and objectivity, inherently contradictory within the field, between ideals of defending the marginalized and of ‘mirroring society’. Finally, the article demonstrates how professionals and other public actors are triggered to reflect more on the state of the art of journalism itself.
Protecting journalistic sources against contemporary means of surveillance
Authors: Glowacka Dorota , Siemaszko Konrad , Smẹtek Joanna , Warso Zuzanna 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article aims to explore the impact of contemporary surveillance measures on journalistic work, in particular, in the context of protecting journalistic sources of information. Such protection is considered necessary to guarantee the free flow of information and enable journalists to appropriately fulfil their ‘public watchdog’ role. Thus, the use of surveillance technology to compromise the confidentiality of sources affects freedom of expression, but it also influences the observance of other human rights, such as the right to privacy. This article analyses both legal and practical aspects of the application of surveillance measures with respect to journalists. First, it reflects on the legal standards for protecting journalistic sources in the digital age and on the new legal developments weakening source protection in those countries. Second, it examines selected instances when journalists were subject to surveillance in three countries: Bulgaria, Poland and Romania.
Some sage suggestions
Authors: Weiner Bernard 
Published: June 2018

The esteemed editors of this series assume that those of an advanced age (me) are also wise (who, me?). That is a questionable assumption. At an earlier time, there was an empirical literature on this topic, in part conducted by Paul Baltes, although I do not know the final conclusions. But if there is an age-wisdom relation, it is correlational and it may not be that increasing age (experience) increases wisdom, but rather that the wise are more likely to survive. The latter explanation is consistent with a biological (Darwinian) viewpoint. If that is the case, then the editors could also invite younger people if they were able to identify (measure) wisdom. Also, it is likely that the age-wisdom relation is not linear but rather curvilinear such that wisdom increases with age, peaks, and then is followed by a lowering along with other cognitive declines due to the aging process. That perhaps describes my current state, hopefully before the decline, so it is unfortunate that the editors did not start this series many years ago and invite me at that time (making the very questionable supposal that I passed their wisdom test).

ABSTRACTCalombo hamlet, Semarang Regency has a population of 1,125 peoples, live at coast side of Rawapening Lake. Much of the water hyacinth covered Rawapening Lake thus decreasing fisheries production. The growth of water hyacinth has been decreased by using it as craft materials and compost, but not optimally. Need other efforts to reduce the density for example convert or utilize water hyacinth for biogas and liquid fertilizer. The objectives of the programs are approach the society by socializing about the benefits of water hyacinth convert to biogas and liquid fertilizer, to train skilled of people to build a biogas unit. The result of this programs makes a biogas unit MERCEDES (Mesophilic Reactor Anaerobic Digestion) which produces biogas and liquid fertilizer. The economic potential is obtained if all households apply them (equivalent with energy) about IDR 17.112 million per year, a liquid fertilizer about IDR 200.000 per household per day, the environmental potential reduction of water hyacinth growth about 6-15% per year, providing knowledge to the community to build a biogas unit and Mr. Musyafa has been utilize the biogas and fertilizer and have formed the structure of the organization to manage and develop the biogas unit for sustainability the program.Keywords: biogas, liquid fertilizer, calombo hamlet, water hyacinth, rawapening lake.Citation: Hadiyarto, A., Alfiyanti, Alwi, D.R., Riadi, I., Rahma, I.N., Putra, N.H.A.(2018).

Optimal Forestry Contract with Interdependent Costs
Authors: Didier Tatoutchoup Francis , Samuel Njiki Paul 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article determines an optimal forestry contract when firms’ harvesting costs are interdependent. The value of the optimal allocation depends on the private signals of all firms. We show that the optimal rotation of the winning firm must satisfy a modified version of the usual Faustmann rule, which holds under perfect information. This modification is necessary in order to induce the revelation of private signals on the part of all participating firms. We find conditions under which the optimal mechanism can be implemented as a second-price auction. The optimal rotation period and the reservation price are derived. Theoretically and numerically, we show that the predicted forest owner surplus is considerably misestimated under the independent private value paradigm and the predicted forest owner profit is more affected when the interdependence is negative.
Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes increase the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension

Published: June 2018

AbstractWe investigated the effect of polymorphisms in four DNA repair genes, viz. RAD18 Arg302Gln (G>A) (rs373572), XPD Asp312Asn (G>A) (rs1799793), APE1 Asp148Glu (T>G) (rs3136820), and OGG1 Ser326Cys (C>G) (rs1052133) on the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HT) in association with smoking, tobacco chewing, and alcohol consumption in a population from Northeast India. The study subjects were comprised of 70 patients suffering from both T2DM and HT and 83 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed using ARMS-PCR for XPD Asp312Asn (G>A) and PCR-CTPP for RAD18 Arg302Gln (G>A), APE1 Asp148Glu (T>G) and OGG1 Ser326Cys (C>G). The RAD18 Gln/Gln genotype was found to significantly increase the risk for T2DM and HT by 30 fold. Significant high risk was observed for individuals with XPD Asn/Asn-RAD18 Arg/Gln genotypes. Smoking was found to be the single most important independent risk factor for T2DM and HT. This study concludes that RAD18 Arg302Gln and XPD Asp312Asn polymorphisms might increase the risk for T2DM and HT in association with smoking, tobacco chewing, and/or alcohol consumption, while APE1 Asp148Glu (T>G) and OGG1 Ser326Cys (C>G) polymorphisms do not contribute to such risk.
Microspongium alariae in Alaria esculenta: a widely-distributed non-parasitic brown algal endophyte that shows cell modifications within its host
Authors: Murúa Pedro , Küpper Frithjof C. , Muñoz Liliana A. , Bernard Miriam , Peters Akira F. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Alaria esculenta is an important kelp species in northern Europe, Atlantic Canada and USA and the Arctic, with high economic potential. Microspongium alariae, a brown algal endophyte using A. esculenta as host, is reported for the first time from Scotland (Great Britain) and Brittany (France), suggesting a wide distribution in NW Europe. The alga was found growing epi-endophytically in A. esculenta stipes and was occasionally associated with warts. Isolated Microspongium thalli grew in host-free cultures and formed plurilocular sporangia in a broad range of temperature and irradiance conditions. DNA barcoding using the nuclear ribosomal ITS1, the mitochondrial COI and the plastidial rbcL confirmed the identity of the endophyte as M. alariae. Electron microscopy was used to compare the alga when endophytic in Alaria with a host-free culture. As an endophyte, cell diameter, pyrenoid diameter and cell wall thickness were reduced. In contrast, there were more plasmodesma connections between endophyte cells, possibly to enhance nutrient transport along the endophytic thallus. In the light of this evidence, a parasitic life style is considered unlikely for the species and the adaptive value of endophytism in M. alariae remains to be elucidated.
Ultrasound assisted chemical activation of peanut husk for copper removal
Authors: Ingle Pradnya K. , Attarkar Karishma , Rathod Virendra K. 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe ultrasound assisted chemical activation of peanut husk using phosphoric acid was studied at a frequency of 20 kHz. Experiments were carried out for the activation of peanut husk in presence of ultrasound followed by the study of consequent effect on the adsorption behavior of copper. Effect of sonication during chemical activation on copper adsorption was studied with respect to various parameters such phosphoric acid concentration, acid impregnation ratio, temperature, duty cycle, sonication time, power and the probe height dipped in the adsorbent-acid slurry. Results showed that after the application of ultrasound during the activation process, copper uptake capacity of the adsorbent is improved with increasing ultrasound power and the activation process is more feasible at 30°C. The copper uptake after activation treatment of 5 min in the presence of ultrasound was found to be 19.6 mg/g as against 17.8 mg/g by conventional chemical activation method performed for 20 min. Thus, after acid treatment in the presence of ultrasound, the adsorbent shows a good adsorption capacity at lower time of chemical activation.
Increasing pulp yield in kraft cooking of softwoods by high initial effective alkali concentration (HIEAC) during impregnation leading to decreasing secondary peeling of cellulose
Authors: Brännvall Elisabet 
Published: June 2018

AbstractPulp yield can be improved by a more homogeneous delignification of the chips, achieved by improved impregnation prior to the cooking stage. Complete and efficient impregnation is obtained by increasing the diffusion rate by means of an impregnation liquor with a high initial effective alkali concentration (HIEAC). In the present study, the effect of HIEAC in the impregnation was evaluated and compared to a reference impregnation procedure and a prolonged impregnation. After the various impregnation scenarios, the alkali concentration was always adjusted to the same level in the beginning of the cooking stage. Impregnation with a HIEAC resulted in yield improvements by 1–1.5% units, due to a higher cellulose yield and possibly also to higher yield of glucomannan. The HIEAC with an even alkali distribution within the chips prior to the cooking stage resulted in a more uniform delignification carbohydrate degradation. Yield increase obtained by uniform delignification is due to both decreased shives content as well as less secondary peeling.
