Educational Activities to Help Transferring Knowledge in Nuclear: The Seminars of Spanish Young Generation in Nuclear (Jóvenes Nucleares)

From its creation, Spanish Young Generation in Nuclear (Jóvenes Nucleares, JJNN), a non-profit organization that depends on the Spanish Nuclear Society (SNE), has as an important scope to help transferring the knowledge between those generations in the way that it can be possible

The iPOPY project and how to communicate with the young generation

The aim of the iPOPY project (2007-2010) is to study how increased consumption of organic food may be achieved by implementation of relevant strategies and instruments linked to food serving outlets for young people in some European countries (Denmark, Finland, Italy and Norway). Two cases from the iPOPY project demonstrate that when communicating with the younger generation organic food messages are competing with other messages also in protected food environments, and the sender and receiver attach different meanings to organic food. Our findings contribute to emphasizing the relevance of holistic approaches (e.g. whole school approach) and experiential activities in introducing organic food to young people

Strategic Innovation and Technology Adoption in an Evolving Industry

We introduce a racing model with multiple product generations, product innovation, spin-outs, and licensing. Industry conditions and innovation characteristics affect who wins the race and who markets the resulting product. Small firms market their innovations when they pioneer a new generation or improve quality in a young generation and license their innovations in mature generations. If old generation leaders ever market improvements in young generation goods, they do so early on. Leadership in mature generations persists. Tests on the rigid disk drive industry (1977-97) provide empirical support. The results have implications for antitrust policies and policies governing employee non-compete agreements.industry dynamics; employee mobility; innovation market; convenant not to compete; spin-offs

Science,technology and society

We shall discuss some aspects of science and technology, their increasing role in the society, the fast advances in modern science, the apparent decrease of interest of the young generation in basic sciences, the importance of proper science popularization for better public education and awareness in scientific fields.Comment: Lecture at the 7th School on Non-Accelerator Astroparticle Physics, Trieste,Italy,200

Laws as Assets: A Possible Solution to the Time Consistency Problem

This paper presents a new solution to the time-consistency problem that appears capable of enforcing ex ante policy in a variety of settings in which other enforcement mechanisms do not work. The solution involves formulating a law, institution, or agreement that specifies the optimal ex ante policy and that can be sold by successive old generations to successive young generations. Each young generation pays for the law through the payment of taxes. Both old and young generations have an economic incentive to obey the law. For the old generation that owns the law, breaking the law makes the law valueless, and the generation suffers a capital loss. For the young generation the economic advantage of purchasing the existing law exceeds its cost as well as the economic gain from setting up the law.

THE REAL ACTIONS OF YOUNG GENERATION IN MAINTAINING JAVANESE LANGUAGE IN THE GLOBALIZATION ERA

Javanese language is one of the local languages in Indonesia. It is widely used by people in Java to communicate among one another. Javanese language contains the value of the local language which is full of local wisdom, so, worthy, Javanese language becomes an identity for all people in Java. Those special values make the Javanese language as the local language that brings a pride for the language user. However, entering the globalization era, the Javanese language start getting replaced by another language and experiencing what we called language death. One of the real examples is what happens for young generation in which the Javanese language is rarely used in everyday life for communicating. In fact, the Javanese language is placed in the third position after Bahasa Indonesia and English. This is exacerbated by the demand on the use of Bahasa Indonesia as the national language, so it is used as the main language in education, science, and so on. This kind of situation stimulates the younger generation to get little chance to use the Javanese language in daily communication. In addition, looking at from the family aspect, only few children still speak using Javanese language with their parents. Of course, this habit will carry over to the communities where it is increasingly difficult to find young people who can communicate using Javanese language, especially Krama. More badly, the younger generation who is still using Javanese language for communicating will be considered as an old person due to the existence of foreign languages such as English or Japanese which is considered as a modern and qualified language. This language shift, time by time, can cause what we called language death, in this case, the Javanese language. To avoid it, people especially young generation, should take several efforts in maintaining the Javanese language in order not to be extinct and more interesting to be learnt and practiced in daily life as one of the identity and a pride for people in Java. This article will explain the efforts in maintaining the Javanese language that can be done by the young generation, involving the use of the Javanese language and some other concrete actions to avoid the language death

Networking for Philanthropy: Increasing Volunteer Behavior via Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites (SNSs) provide a unique social venue to engage the young generation in philanthropy through their networking capabilities. An integrated model that incorporates social capital into the Theory of Reasoned Action is developed to explain volunteer behavior through social networks. As expected, volunteer behavior was predicted by volunteer intention, which was influenced by attitudes and subjective norms. In addition, social capital, an outcome of the extensive use of SNSs, was as an important driver of users' attitude and subjective norms toward volunteering via SNSs.Advertisin

The Conflicts Between Two Generations Reflected in Thank You Music Video

A song by MKTO which entitled “Thank You” is used by the writer to analyze its music video. The purpose of this study is to do a research about the conflicts between the old and young generation, which is related with social and symbolic power. Theories that are used are textual and contextual theories. The textual theory is used to analyze the verbal aspects (lyrics), aural aspects (music), and visual aspects (clips). Meanwhile the contextual theory is used to analyze the social issues which become the source of the conflict

PENINGKATAN PENANAMAN BUDAYA MELAYU JAMBI UNTUK MEMBENTUK KARAKTER GENERASI MUDA

Several Malay cultures resulted from the interactional pattern of community activities. Such Malay culture becomes an identity for the people adhering to it. This identity is its adherents’ different from other cultural adherents. However, corresponding to current demand and cultural dynamic from time to time, Malay cultural identity as this identity cannot always be understood by the younger generation partially or even entirely. Especially, young generation today has been heavily involved in technological developments. This community service aims to foster awareness of Malay culture, and to instill the character of Malay culture to the young generation. The methods used in this activity were dialogue and lecture, and interview methods with a socio-cultural approach. These method and approach were expected to raise awareness of the preservation of Malay culture among young generation which is not only abstract and embodied into ideas, but can also be expressed in behavior reflected by the young generation that will shape its cultural character
