It's Not Just About Tents and Campfires
It’s not just about tents and campfires An example of how a non-governmental organization empowers young people to become good citizens making a positive change in their communities as well as in the world. Emelie Göransson Bachelor’s thesis in Development Studies, 15hp Department of Human Geography, Lund University Autumn 2013 Supervisor: Karin Steen Abstract The concept of empowerment is deeply rooted in power relations. Young people have often been seen as incompetent, however, if given the right tools they can achieve positive change today. They are not merely the adults of the future; they are the youth of today. Education and awareness rising are key ingredients in the creation of change and development. How to educate, enable and empower young people one might ask; the answer provided in this thesis is through the Scout Movement. The reason for this is that the Scout Movement is the world’s largest non-formal educational movement with a positive view on what young people can achieve. It is a movement that teaches young people good citizenship and empowers them to become self-fulfilled individuals creating a positive change in their communities.

The Transfer of German Pedagogy in Taiwan (1940–1970) Liou, Wei-chih ABSTRACT Wissenstransfer spielte eine zentrale Rolle im Prozess der Herausbildung akademischer Diszipli- nen bzw. der Reform der traditionellen Wissenskulturen in einer Vielzahl nichtwestlicher Länder im 20. Jahrhundert. Ein Beispiel für solch einen Modernisierungsprozess bildet der Einfluss der deutschen Bildung und Pädagogik auf Taiwan. Der Aufsatz beginnt mit einer Analyse der neun einzigen chinesischen Pädagogikstudenten, die ihre akademischen Grade in Deutschland zwi- schen 1920 und 1949 erwarben, danach nach China zurückkehrten und nach 1949 in Taiwan als „Wissensmediatoren“ fungierten. Es wird gezeigt, wie diese Pädagogen versuchten, nach dem Vorbild der geisteswissenschaftlichen Tradition der deutschen Erziehungswissenschaft die taiwanesische Pädagogik und das Bildungssystem, das bis dahin vom amerikanischen Wis- senschaftsparadigma dominiert war, zu reformieren. Dies war mit dem Anspruch verbunden, anhand der kulturellen und philosophischen Annahmen der „Kulturpädagogik“ westliche und chinesische Kultur in Taiwan miteinander harmonisch zu verbinden und angesichts der politi- schen Ereignisse in China 1949 neue Lösungen für den Bildungsbereich zu suchen. Der Analyse liegen die theoretischen Annahmen des Wissenstransfers von Steiner-Khamsi und Schriewer zugrunde. Knowledge transfer played a crucial role in the process of modernizing academic dis- ciplines in many non-Western countries during the 20th century. Many of them began either to modify the old or to establish an entirely new tradition of academic disciplines; this essay will address the specific case of pedagogy in China and Taiwan.1 Its analysis Due to the specific historical context in China and Taiwan, the transfer of Germany pedagogy in this article was researched geographically in China before 949, and after 949 in Taiwan. -

PREPARATION of MICROARRAY for DISEASE DETECTION - a SURVEY on DIFFERENT METHODS Kavitha B1, Manjusha G Y2, Sachin D’Souza3 & Hemalatha N4
International Journal of Latest Trends in Engineering and Technology Special Issue SACAIM 2017, pp. 088-090 e-ISSN:2278-621X PREPARATION OF MICROARRAY FOR DISEASE DETECTION - A SURVEY ON DIFFERENT METHODS Kavitha B1, Manjusha G Y2, Sachin D’Souza3 & Hemalatha N4 Abstract- Microarray is a pattern of ssDNA probes which are immobilized on a surface called a chip or a slide.It is used to detect the expression of thousands of gene at the same time. Microarrays (biochip) plays an important role in the drug discovery. The biochip is used to monitor changes in gene expression in response to drug treatments and also used to examine the response of the host against pathogen. The oligonucleotide microarrays provides a rapid, specific and high throughput means for the detection and identification of the food-borne pathogens. In this paper we have described microarray-based tests or methods for detecting the various kinds of diseases. By using several methods and tools like allergen microarray one can screen the serum IgE reactivity. cDNA microarrays has been developed for analysing estrogen responsive genes and in detecting anti hormone therapy. Evaluation of the potential of pathogenicity is determined by detection of a range of virulence factors and serotype determination. Micro RNA identifier array used for the detection of various type of micro RNA in human or for simultaneous detection and genotyping of different virus types in a single reaction. Keywords- Microarray, DNA, RNA,Gene 1. INTRODUCTION Microarray is multiplex lab on a chip. It is a pattern of ssDNA probes which are immobilized on a surface called chip or a slide. -
