A Study was conducted in Sunpura block, Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh with objective of studying the relationship between the selected socio-personal characteristics and extent of opportunities during rice cultivation by the rice growers with sample size of 150 respondents.The extent of opportunities in rice cultivation is any kind of benefit or facility provided to rice growers directly or indirectly by Government or Non-Governmental Organization but not the benefits from natural sources. The study revealed that 60 per cent of rice growers were fall under the medium category, 22 per cent low and 18 per cent high category, which implies that the average rice growers agree on availability of opportunities of rice cultivation. The possible reason might be that majority of farmers can read and write so they get information on new technology through mass media and also because of their high social participation. Further, Stepwise Regression analysis showed that all the selected independent variables put together explained about 54.20 percent of variation in extent of opportunities during rice cultivation among the rice growers coming from the variables like mass media exposure, sources of information and attitude towards pesticide used, were positively and significantly associated with extent of opportunities among the rice growers of Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh.

The rapid spread of technologies involving the application of “Genetic Modification (GM)” raised the need for science communication on this new technology in society. To consider the communication on GM in the society, an understanding of the current mass media is required. This paper shows the whole picture of newspaper discourses on GM in Japan. For the Japanese public, newspapers represent one of the major sources of information on GM. We subjected the two Japanese newspapers with the largest circulation, the Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun, to an analysis of the full text of approximately 4000 articles on GM published over the past to perform an assessment of the change of reportage on GM. As for the most important results, our analysis shows that there are two significant shifts with respect to the major topics addressed in articles on GM by Japanese newspapers.

Medios De Comunicacion

The new technologies of collaboration developed in Internet have led to a change in the relationship between mass media and its audiences. These tools of participation help the sources of information to become closer to the receivers and, in the other hand, facilitate the role interchanging between both agents in the communication process. The television, as mass media, has to be aware of this phenomenon and experiment with new models of participation with its viewers. Las nuevas tecnologías de colaboración que se están desarrollando en el entorno de Internet están provocando un cambio en las relaciones entre los medios de comunicación y sus audiencias. Estas herramientas de participación posibilitan, por un lado, la aproximación entre las fuentes de información y sus destinatarios, y por otro, el intercambio de roles entre ambos elementos del proceso de comunicación. La televisión, como medio de comunicación social, ha de ser consciente de este fenómeno y experimentar nuevos modelos de participación con su público. Las televisiones ven que el modelo unidireccional de comunicación sobre el que se han asentado desde su nacimiento se encuentra en crisis. Sus índices de audiencia han de competir con nuevos medios alternativos que se están desarrollando en Internet. Los blogs, videoblogs, wikis y otras herramientas de colaboración en la Red favorecen que cada vez haya más actores en el proceso de comunicación social que quieran hacer oir su voz. Las audiencias de televisión forman parte de un nuevo movimiento de los ciudadanos que reclaman un papel activo en la comunicación. Quieren dejar de ser telespectadores y pasar a coproducir la televisión que consumen. Para ello se ven capacitados por nuevas tecnologías como la telefonía móvil y la integración de cámaras de vídeo digital que les permiten ser narradores de excepción de su propia experiencia. Algunos acontecimientos periodísticos de los últimos meses, como el desastre del tsunami en Asia y los atentados de Londres, han demostrado el valor de la contribución de los ciudadanos como «reporteros ocasionales». Además de la proliferación de canales alternativos y la difusión de cámaras digitales portátiles, el avance en la tecnología de los aparatos de grabación de vídeo digital en el hogar hace que cada vez sea más fácil evitar la publicidad convencional de los anuncios de televisión. Las empresas de marketing se enfrentan también al reto de diseñar productos y estrategias orientados a este telespectador que no sólo quiere consumir mensajes sino también participar en los procesos de producción. En los estudios tradicionales sobre audiencias en televisión se hace énfasis en los usos que los telespectadores hacen de los productos televisivos pero apenas se consideran dos aspectos que definen los públicos de hoy y de mañana: su capacidad para consumir varios medios de comunicación a la vez y su capacidad para ser productor de mensajes mediáticos. Las empresas de televisión deben hacer un esfuerzo por conocer a su público y estudiar las posibles vías de colaboración que pueden ofrecerle para participar juntos del proceso de comunicación. En la búsqueda de nuevas fórmulas de relación con la audiencia, la cadena británica BBC está demostrando una apertura a la experimentación con proyectos que permiten cierta integración de su público.

This paper explores the relationship between education and labour market positioning in The Hague, a Dutch city with a unique labour market. One of the main minority groups, Turkish-Dutch, is the focus in this qualitative study on higher educated minorities and their labour market success. Interviews reveal that the obstacles the respondents face are linked to discrimination and network limitation. The respondents perceive “personal characteristics” as the most important tool to overcoming the obstacles. Education does not only increase their professional skills, but also widens their networks. The Dutch education system facilitates the chances of minorities in higher education through the “layering” of degrees.

Abstract Purpose of the article There is relatively a big number of brands in the market of laptops nowadays in Albania. It appears that the number of brands offered in this market could easily be compared to the number of brands in Europe and even broader. The purpose of this study is to help Albanian vendors understand the criteria that consumers take into consideration when they make the decision to purchase a laptop. Methodology/methods The research is based on the collection and the analyses of the primary data collected through interviews to people like managers or employees who work in the sector of trading laptops or in businesses like education where laptops are broadly used recently; then a survey is done through a questionnaire delivered to customers who already own and use a laptop and customers who are potential buyers of laptops. Scientific aim The aim of the research is to identify if there are any relationships between the demographics of the consumers and the criteria of buying a laptop; on the other hand, to find out how is the relationship between the demographics and the features of different brands. Findings The study found out that Albanian consumers have good knowledge of laptops and their brands, and they use different sources of information for making their decisions in buying a laptop; it is found that there are relationships between some demographics like age or gender and the appraisal for some attributes of the laptops like price, design and high graphics card; it is also found that some technical features and other attributes of using laptops are some of the determinants that influence the laptops’ purchases. Conclusions It is realized that one of the most important demographics of the consumers is their age. Some core features like RAM, ROM, battery life, processor quality, light weight or attributes that are connected to the purposes of using the laptop computers like practicality and mobility in using them, work and studying processes, quick access to the internet are determinant factors which influence the decision making process of purchasing a laptop. I would recommend that future researches be focused also on the relationship between the customers’ income and their preferred brand or ranking brands according to the customers’ preferences. Such studies should also extend outside the city of Tirana.

In today’s America, not every child starts on a level playing field, and very few children move ahead based solely on hard work or talent. Generational poverty and a lack of cultural capital hold many students back, robbing them of the opportunity to move up professionally and socially. Children of immigrants are especially at-risk because, in addition to facing poverty, race, geographical location or economic disadvantages, they are also confronted with failure due to their limited or non-existent English proficiency. This study focuses on the degree to which teachers in a mid-sized urban school district take into consideration the individual needs of immigrant children in the process of their education. The study also examines the preparation teachers have had to equip them with knowledge of best practices in teaching immigrant children, and the relationship between teachers’ practices, beliefs, and their demographic and personal characteristics (age, gender, years of experience, level of education, etc.). Quantitative data was collected via a survey. Interviews with teachers and one central office administrator provided data for the qualitative section of the study. The findings revealed that teachers, in general, appeared to lack knowledge of specific policies for mainstreaming immigrant students into general education classrooms; their use of effective teaching practices for working with immigrant children were limited; and most of the teachers had not participated actively in professional development that focused on teaching immigrant children.

Children, brought up in foster families, experience various problems (diffi culties in interpersonal relationships with parents, diffi culties in communicating with peers, emotional instability), which lead to confl icts, quarrels, running away from home, destructive phenomena, etc. One of the eff ective forms of working with children brought up in foster families is individual counselling. Individual counselling is used by various specialists (psychologists, educators, psychotherapists), where a special place is taken by a social educator. His or her activity involves the implementation of social-protective, preventive, educational, informational, advisory functions. In the process of organizing individual counseling, the social educator takes into account the social situation of the family and the child, personal characteristics, social conditions, social and cultural characteristics and the nature of the relationship with the social environment. To organize individual counseling, a social educator needs to master various and eff ective techniques, and take into account a number of recommendations. An analysis of the literature and practical socio-pedagogical experience led to an understanding of the insuffi cient degree of elaboration of this issue. The purpose of this article was the solution to this problem.
