… active chemical compound. Up to 90 % of any conventional pesticide is generally lost to the air or soil during application. In this work, a solution will be offered which moreover makes use of renewable resources instead of finite fossil raw materials with undesirable environmental impact. Hypothesis and Objectives: In order overcome the enormous loss during pesticide application, new pH-sensitive [4] copolymers for controlled release applications will be made from biobased building blocks. The … Setting and Methods: Acetal based building blocks [3] will be explored as versatile biobased platform molecules for the synthesis of completely new green polymers. Next to the use of cyclic acetal monomers as pH-sensitive groups, cyclic acetals can also be used for the synthesis of linear polyacetals, opening the way towards amphiphilic copolymers. In amphiphilic form, the polymers self-assemble in aqueous medium (pesticide solution) into micelles which encapsulate agrochemicals. Upon pH … - New biobased acetal platform molecules become available to make green polymers of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature for multiple applications, which supports a sustainable bio-economy. Requirements candidate: Highly motivated student with good English communication skills and proactive and resolute attitude. Chemistry fields: organic synthesis, polymer synthesis, chemical and physical characterization of monomers/polymers, supplemental: colloid chemistry Keywords: amphiphilic …

… of tutor and the senior student will act as note taker. Assignment Not for profit? “If I’m going to take money from a citizen to put into education then I’m going to take that money to create jobs. So I want that money to go to degrees where people can get jobs in this state. Is it a vital interest of the state to have more anthropologists? I don’t think so” (Scott, 2011) “Thirsty for national profit, nations, and their systems of education, are heedlessly discarding skills that are needed to keep democracies alive. If this trend continues, nations all over the world will soon be producing generations of useful machines, rather than complete citizens who can think for themselves, criticize tradition, and understand the significance of another person’s sufferings and achievements. The future of the world’s democracies hangs in the balance” (Nussbaum, 2016) “University graduates are expected to serve our … but to raise critically thinking, democratic citizens.

In the run up to its opening in May 2011, four museum collections merged together with the so-called heritage cell of Antwerp. A thematical approach led away from previous collection profiles and headed for topics that were relevant for the past, the present and the future. The Public and education department’s goals for working … projects, different communities were invited to participate to one or more of the museological functions of collecting, research and presentation. This implies a shift in perception: the collections are wider than those kept in storage space. They also involve ICH and oral history. Expertise is not owned by the museum curators, but shared with audiences, inhabitants of Antwerp and (source) communities. It implies different working methodologies, so also different skills of museum staff. …

… and each team presents a concluding statement. Teacher preparation The tutor will need to describe in detail a realistic case that the students will then use as the basis of their arguments. The case must have various parties that the students can represent. Student preparation Students will need to write an individual legal pa- per in the context of the case covered. Students should keep in mind that they defend the position of one of the parties in a conflict so they subjec- tively look at the law. They will focus on those argu- ments that can be used to their party’s advantage and leave out others that are not favourable to their party’s … exam, which is worth 40% of the final grade.

… 167 Chapter 15 Global governance of fair labour: consequences of institutional change Ceren Pekdemir Part IV The political-institutional dimension 168 Abstract The policy domain of fair labour is undergoing crucial institutional changes with the advent of private actors and the emergence of new governance mechanisms and instruments. This chapter addresses the main changes of the past decades in the field of international regulation of fair labour rights and working conditions, and … of global suppliers without legal obligations (Barrientos & Smith, 2007) and commodities are produced in long value chains where labour costs are often incurred from the workers at the end of the chain. In the wake of the controversy surrounding sweatshop practices and concern regarding labour conditions in developing nations, private initiatives have attempted to fill this regulatory gap in the field of fair labour. The main goal of improving labour conditions was primarily advanced by the … mechanisms that advance rights developments and detect breaches to existing laws and regulations. Even though both civil society and businesses lack parliamentary representatives and hence the claim to legitimacy through electoral representation, they do embody citizen participation through self-organisation and market mechanisms. Responsibility taken by civil society (e.g. NGOs, active citizens) is crucial in the sense that it is a critical domain that can provide impartial information on …
