Lima puluh pria Indonesia dewasa normal dari tingkat sosial ekonomi rendah dan lima puluh pria dewasa normal dari tingkat sosial ekonomi menengah/tinggi serta tiga puluh empat pria Kaukasia dewasa normal akan diikutsertakan dalam penelitian ini. Kesediaan anda sebagai relawan sangat diharapkan untuk ikut serta dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian pada kelompok monyet (Macaca fascicularis) yang diberi pakan pola barat (western diet) dan kelompok monyet yang diberi pakan pola Asia (Asian diet), dan disuntik dengan obat kontrasepsi (testosteron enantat dan depot medroksiprogesteron asetat) menunjukkan perbedaan jumlah dan mutu sperma. Monyet yang diberi pakan pola barat, memiliki jumlah dan mutu sperma yang lebih baik.

Nationhood and the Hypothetical Question of Bilingual Education in Cameroon A Sociolinguistic Appraisal

Many African states which had been under the influence of western colonisation before the 1960s, presented many challenges of a sociolinguistic kind at independence. Some of these challenges at the national level received a good deal of attention from the new authorities, while others at the community level were comparatively neglected. One of the most salient challenges these newly independent states were confronted with was the accommodation of their multiethnic and multilingual components within a single political framework. One aspect of this preoccupation was the formulation of specific language policies which attempted to reconcile the importance acquired by a metropolitan language during the colonial rule with post independent aspirations. The difficulties for these states in the choice of a language for common usage stemmed from the fact that most of them were colonised, thus the imposition of a language of administration. Brosnahan (1963) opines that the imposition of an official or administrative language on the homelands of other languages is a phenomenon which has occurred on numerous occasions in human history. A reason for the imposition is the aspect of multilingualism. By the nature of the cases, an authority imposing a language is simultaneously imposing some sort of political unity on the area concerned. If circumstances are favourable, the imposed language, as it percolates down to more and more of the population, may well be influential in the development of the awareness of belonging to a nation which is greater than the village or town of the immediate horizon. In this way, the imposed language(s) may play a considerable role in developing a national consciousness and unity among previously separated or even warring groups.

Purposive Communication: Study Guide

A written text can communicate across time and space while speech is usually used for immediate intersections. • Written language tends to be more complex and intricate than speech with longer sentences and many subordinate clauses. The punctuation and layout of written texts also have no written equivalent. However, some forms of written language, such as instant messages and emails, are closer to spoken language. Spoken language tends to be full of repetitions, incomplete sentences, corrections, and interruptions, with the exception of formal speeches and other scripted forms of speech, such as news reports and scripts for plays and films. • Writers receive no immediate feedback from their readers, except in computer-based communication. Therefore, they cannot rely on context to clarify things. Speech is usually a dynamic interaction between two or more people. Context and shared knowledge play a major role. • Writers can make use of punctuation, headings, layout, colors, and other graphical effects in their written texts. Such things are not available in speech.. Speech can use timing, tone, volume, and timbre to address emotional context. • Written material can be read repeatedly and closely analyzed, and notes can be made on the writing surface. Only recorded speech can be used in this way. • Some grammatical constructions are only used in writing, as are some kinds of vocabulary, such as some complex chemical and legal terms. Some types of vocabulary are used only or mainly in speech. These include slang expressions, and tags like y’know, like, etc.

Export Propensity And Intensity Of Manufactured Exports In Kenya: A Control Function Approach

A distinctive feature of the manufacturing sector in Kenya is the co-existence of the modern sector alongside a rapidly expanding informal sector. While the formal sector comprises mainly small, medium, and large-scale enterprises (i.e., firms employing more than 100 workers), the informal sector consists of numerous open-air small and microscale productive activities in towns and rural trading centres, usually employing less than five workers. Traditional artisan production in the informal sector is dominated by small undertakings employing less than 5 workers. A large proportion of these firms’ output is directed towards satisfying needs of consumer goods and services domestically. These include items such as clothing, furniture, foodstuffs and motor vehicle repairs. While data on this sub-sector is not easy to come by, there is little doubt from casual empiricism that it is one of the fastest growing sectors, and a major source of employment in the country (Ikiara, 1991, Republic of Kenya, 2007). It is equally clear that this sector has little or no impact on Kenyan manufactured exports, due mainly to the low quality of their products.

The Effect of Shared Meaning between Extension Officers and Farmers on the Adoption of Irish Potato Farming in Kenya

EB-24

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of shared meaning between extension officers and farmers on the adoption of Irish potato farming innovations in Kibirichia Ward, Meru County. It’s objectives were: to determine the effect of channels of communication used between extension officers and farmers on the adoption of Irish potato farming innovations in Meru County; to describe the nature of messages conveyed between the extension officers and farmers on the adoption of Irish potato farming innovations in Meru County; to examine the effect of the context of communication between extension officers and farmers on the adoption of Irish potato farming innovations in Meru County and to determine the effect of noise on shared meaning between extension officers and farmers on the adoption of Irish potato farming innovations in Meru County. The study was guided by the diffusion of innovation and symbolic interaction theories of communication. In this study, qualitative research design was used and qualitative data was collected with the aid of focus group discussions and in-depth interviews amongst Irish potato farmers who were area residents from four sub-locations (Kimbo, Gathuine, Kiamiogo, Mburugiti) and all the extension officers involved in the production of Irish potato crop. A sample size of 39 respondents was drawn. Using qualitative methods in data analysis, focus group and interview data was transcribed, coded and categorized into relevant themes and sub-themes and possible and plausible explanations of the findings drawn. Findings of the study revealed that channels of communication and nature of messages result in shared meaning and high adoption of Irish potato farming in Meru County. However, whereas physical, socio-psychological and temporal contexts of communication positively influenced shared meaning and adoption of Irish potato farming, cultural context did not have an effect on adoption but only influenced shared meaning. Further, noise deterred shared meaning between extension officers and farmers and led to low adoption of Irish potato farming in Meru County. The study recommended that in order to attain increased adoption of Irish potato farming, the government should employ public relations officers and development communication experts, who can develop communication campaigns that will enable effective dissemination of extension information to farmers. Further research should be conducted to determine the role of social media on adoption of Irish potato farming innovations in Meru County. Secondly, since this study focused on Meru County, further studies should be upscaled in other counties in Kenya that cultivate Irish potatoes. The findings are beneficial to farmers, agronomical companies, extension officers, researchers and government policy makers. They boost planning and implementing of focused agricultural programs geared at increasing agricultural production in line with the Kenya government agenda 2018 and the Sustainable Development Goals, 2017.

A Pragmatic Study on Listening: Theory and Practice

Hearing or listening capacity is a big gift from the Creator, an invaluable present. In reality, many people live with an unexpected misfortune, the deaf status. One important thing missing, hearing, or listening ability. Nevertheless, they can also survive and adapt to their life activities, live normally. Excellent! Why is listening important? To begin with, it is important to present only two general definitions of ‘listening’, though a variety of definitions of listening are available. The first, Goss (1982) defines listening as “the process of taking what you hear and organizing it into verbal units to which you can apply meaning”. The second, Wolvin and Coakley (1996) define listening as “the process of receiving, attending to, and assigning meaning to aural and visual stimuli”. Based on the two definitions, listening is something to do with getting the ‘meaning’ uttered by the speaker or sounded by the audio or audio-visual media. Accordingly, the idea that assumes listening as passive activity is not acceptable. Listening needs the listener’s cognitive involvement and concentration, different from ‘hearing’. Hearing is unintentionally done, with no specific target of getting the meaning or the speaker intent. Therefore, getting people to listen to each other is not an easy objective. Unfortunately, listening has come to be viewed as a passive, simple act that we just do. The word “just” is all too frequently used to describe listening in the admonition “Just listen.” This reduces listening, then, to the non-active, receptor, part of human communication. Listening may be one of the most, if not the most, a complex of all human behaviors (Wovin, 2010:2). Thus, listening is the active involvement of cognitive skill in understanding the ‘meaning’ or the ‘speaker intent’.

The Culture of Inno-preneurs Migrants VS Human Capital investment in Developed Countries

EB-10

In the age of new technology and competition, individual or organizational ideas and competencies are different than which of populism, new ideas and practical models are being developed by Scientifics and practitioners’ people for socio-economic and commercial purposes. The vision of entrepreneurs is changing rapidly because the first thoughts focused on the idea of the individual entrepreneur, a person who creates a company and the circumstances in which it was located, these people become innovators; However, entrepreneurship is not just a set of behaviors that can be exposed not only by individuals, but also by large organizations that have the ability to invest, and that time; do these individuals or companies concretize innovation?
New ideas are launched, and we can see how this has an impact on broader economic and social vitality. Currently, when the innovator falls to solve problems of the economy and society, culture and even business, also to explore, he organizes people and act often without total authority.
The distinction between entrepreneurship and innovation is slightly different in today’s world, because a key entrepreneurial activity is innovation; and not easily separate the two as separate entities. The two components are dependent on each other while entrepreneurs make innovation, but the question that this pose is that entrepreneurs are innovators in terms of behavior? Organizations tend to place innovative companies such as start-ups out of the innovation process, without ever really mentioning where business behaviors and organizations mix.
The term entrepreneurship has become a little old-fashioned, it can now be seen as many things; it may even be useful to distinguish between entrepreneurs as individuals and new entrepreneurial style activities that are more engaged in business. it seems to cover a wide range of activities, and a wide range of people and organizations, this new style can be called: Innopreneur, HRpreneur, Financepreneur, Migrantpreneur, Refugeepreneur, Futurepreneur, etc …
This book will address the topic of migrant Innovpreneurs in the hospitable countries, and their contributions to the development fields of these countries far from fictitious propaganda of populism propagated by leaders such as; Trump of America, Putin of Russia, Jair Bolsonaro of Brasil, Le Pen of France ,(Ukip)of UK,Geert Wilders of Nethrlands, Viktor Orban of Hongry, ( FPÖ) of Austria, (AfD)party of Germany, Northern League of Italy, (AD) in Greece, ,and the like.

Mending The Breaking Cord: African Christian Spirituality & Human Progress)

EB-22

The Christian church in Africa has changed not only in form and structure, but also the nature of its core message and relevance to society. Any critical observer will find that there is growing disengagement of the Christian message along with the corollary of socioeconomic challenges on the continent. It is an important yet overlooked feature of the African church’s story that most of the popular theological and self-improvement books for African Christians within and outside the continent, have rarely touched on the issues that are being examined in this book. From the Nubian African Christian heritage, through the Catholic and Protestants movements, to the birth of the African Independent churches, the African Christian church has gained the accolade as the front runner in global Christianity. The charismatic renewal has been a key driver of the Christian church’s growth, from the early decades of the twentieth century, to the present. The African church remains a dominant social force on the continent. The lives of most Africans revolve around religion. The irony is that increasing (church) membership is happening alongside prevailing inequalities – economic and social. Questionable state policies led by religious political leaders, have been blamed for citizens’ poor living conditions. If religious national leaders are failing to deliver public goods, then faith groups that nurture these leaders must accept a fair share of the blame too. It is interesting that former President Jacob Zuma of South Africa waded into this paradox by saying:
