No full textAbstract. Simeulue Island is situated Indian Ocean in western part of Aceh Province, this is one of the outer island in Indonesia. Simeulue has big potency in marine resources such as clean waters and beautiful beach, coral reefs and mangrove ecosystems. Therefore, Simeulue is very promising as an ecotourism destination. The objective of present study was to evaluate the condition of the water quality and the potency for a marine ecotourism development. The feasibility study was conducted on August in Ganting Beach, Village of Kuala Makmur, Simeulue Island. The purposive random sampling method was used to determine twelve sampling stations. The measured water quality parameters were pH, temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, brightness, BOD5, odors, oil and debris. These parameters were analyized and mapped using software ODV, and then compared to the sea water quality standard for marine tourism as well as the characteristics of the coast to the suitability index of recreational area. The results showed that the water quality of Ganting Beach is very suitable for recreational activities (index 77, category S1) andit is suitable for swimming and also for boating tourism activities, banana boats and jet skis (index 16, category S2).

Try It Out: Research Center
No full textFashion is technological, since the first clothing worn by early humans, the garments have been developed radically to become efficient and comfortable (quick dry, highly warm, extremely light) to match weatherability.Up until the last decade, fiber technology and materials science was limited to specialists. Since then, textile and clothing brands decided to invest in research and development. The lower costs of cutting-edge technology made it possible for independent designers as well as medium and larger companies to create concepts using innovative products. Additionally, there is a new consumer profile opting for environmentally responsible products that reflect their digital lifestyle.The Try It Out contribution - sited in the Andermatt, a village in the Swiss Alps - proposes a facility for the development of prototyping and testing of the textileperformance. Material research becomes increasingly paramount, as material innovation is one of the main drivers for the fashion industry to tackle environmental challenges. Improving the lifespan of fabrics (duration), creating better-performing garments (higher value), and revolutionizing production processes (production), will change how fashion is consumed (consumption).This contribution is part of Fashion House, a collective project on the spatial implications of a decentralized and more tightly regulated fashion industry across Europe that reimagines the function and design for a fashion house.https://thesisinprogress-theberlage.nl/Fashion-House-Introword This contribution is part of Fashion House, a collective project on the spatial implications of a decentralized and more tightly regulated fashion industry across Europe that reimagines the function and design for a fashion house.

Try Again
No full textIn my thesis collection, Try Again, I aimed to explore the consequences of choice. Through four short stories and one novella, I focused on close relationships between two focus characters and how both large and inconsequential choices can shape futures. In the novella, Try Again, I practiced game writing and learned how to shape a character when perhaps the largest signifier of character—choice—is left in the hands of the reader, rather than the author. The construction of this thesis and its stories developed my abilities to find high tension in lower stakes

Testing times for global financial governance
No full textIgnazio Angeloni believes that the increase in financial interdependence in recent decades has not been matched by sufficient progress in the international coordination among regulatory authorities. In fact, the international financial system has suffered from insufficient globalisation of regulatory and supervisory policies, not excessive globalisation of financial markets.
Do "Top Up" students on computing courses think deeply?
No full textReport of a CELT project on supporting students through innovation and researchFor the last four years the School of Computing and Information Technology (SCIT) has offered a degree conversion programme from HND to degree, which is becoming increasingly popular, especially with students from local FE colleges. In addition about 15% of the students are recruited from overseas. However, the students on the ‘Top Up’ programme have demonstrated difficulty with the more academic aspects of their course, especially the individual project, which is taken in semester 2. Although the students rarely failed the project, the marks achieved were substantially lower than those they obtained for other modules, in particular modules that were more practically focussed. This was to be expected given the vocational nature of these students’ previous studies. In their first semester of the degree conversion programme, the students take a core module in Professional Aspects of Computing (PAC). As well as introducing them to professional issues associated with work in an IT environment, this module was designed to improve their key and intellectual skills, especially those required to complete the project successfully such as literature search, referencing and critical evaluation. An improvement in the project marks had been recorded in each of the three previous years through increasing emphasis on those skills in the PAC module. Consideration of current educational research about learning styles led the award team to reflect on whether the students’ learning styles could be an underlying issue in their struggling with the more academic aspects of the course. Marton and Saljo (1976) identified two contrasting approaches to learning: deep and surface, subsequently extended to include a third, strategic, approach (Entwistle, 1987). It is accepted, however, that strategic learners may also be either deep or surface learners. A deep approach to learning is believed to correlate with increased academic success. Entwistle (2000) defined a successful student as one who adopts a deep, strategic approach with no surface, apathetic elements. Initially, in this field of research, assessment of student learning style was by means of interview but that was superseded by inventory, ‘Approaches to Studying Inventory, ASI’ (Entwistle and Ramsden, 1983). Refinement of ASI led to the development of ‘ASSIST, Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students’ (Tait et al. 1998)
Analysis of Water Quality for Tourism Suitability at Indonesia’s Front Island: Ganting Beach, Simeuleu Island, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam
No full textIndonesia is an archipelago country with potential marine and coastal. Simeulue Island, NAD is one of the leading island in west of the Republic of Indonesia and located in Hindia Ocean. Simeulue have potential marine waters such as fish, lobster, crab and sea cucumber as well as ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves. Simeulue is an area that affected by the tsunami or Smong (in local term means running) at eleven years ago on 26 December 2004. A big change that happen is the accretion on most coasts such as in the area around the northwest to the northeast. This accretion marked by the widening of the coast towards the sea and the lifting of the corals to the surface because ofthe movement of tectonic plate subduction Sunda arc (Natawidjaja, 2007). This study aims to determine the condition of the water quality and the potential suitability of a marine tourism in this region to foreign countries. Location of study at Ganting Beach, Village of Kuala Makmur, Simeulue regency, Simeulue Island. The research was conducted in August 2015. The number of sampling station is 12 points with purposive sampling method. Observation of water quality parameters are pH, temperature,salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, brightness, BOD5, odors, oil and debris. These parameters are then mapped using software ODV, analyzed and compared with the sea water quality standard for marine tourism as well as the characteristics of the coast to the suitability index of recreational area. Water quality parameters showed pH values ranged from 10.05 to 10.25; temperature from 29.80 to 31.90 (° C); salinity from 27.60 to 32.70 (ppt); turbidity from 0.00 to 3.50 (NTU); dissolved oxygen from 7.46 to 8.77 (mg / L); BOD5 from 0.897 to 1.076 (mg/ L); brightness 8.50 to 15.40 (m); no smell; no oil layer; and no debris. The results showed that the water quality P. Ganting is very suitable for recreational activities (index 77, category S1) and it is suitable for swimming and also for boating tourism activities, banana boats and jet skis (index 16, category S2)
Negotiated settlements and peace referendums
No full textInstitutional innovations in conflict management have received considerable academic attention in the past decades. Yet few studies have considered the design of referendums in peace processes and the role of popular mandates in catalysing negotiated settlements. Drawing evidence from divided societies, particularly the contrasting cases of South Africa and Cyprus, the article points to the importance of ratification sequence and early mandate referendums. Specifically, it demonstrates how mandate referendums focusing initially on domestic constituencies enable leaders to pre‐empt ethnic outbidding challenges while concluding a peace agreement. An early ratification process could safeguard the peace process from unavoidable reversals in public opinion, increase flexibility as to the timing of critical decisions and maximise the credibility of leaders aiming for a negotiated settlement. The study of mandate referendums has important implications for broader research on international mediations since it suggests mechanisms by which political actors could ensure the ratification of significant treaties in global or regional politics
