The ascendancy of neoliberalism and the associated discourses of „new public
management‟, during the 1980s and 1990s has produced a fundamental shift in the way
universities and other institutions of higher education have defined and justified their
institutional existence. The traditional professional culture of open intellectual enquiry
and debate has been replaced with a institutional stress on performativity, as evidenced
by the emergence of an emphasis on measured outputs: on strategic planning,
performance indicators, quality assurance measures and academic audits. This paper
traces the links between neoliberalism and globalization on the one hand, and
neoliberalism and the knowledge economy on the other. It maintains that in a global
neoliberal environment, the role of higher education for the economy is seen by
governments as having greater importance to the extent that higher education has
become the new star ship in the policy fleet for governments around the world.
Universities are seen as a key driver in the knowledge economy and as a consequence
higher education institutions have been encouraged to develop links with industry and
business in a series of new venture partnerships. The recognition of economic
importance of higher education and the necessity for economic viability has seen
initiatives to promote greater entrepreneurial skills as well as the development of new
performative measures to enhance output and to establish and achieve targets.

Although it has been composed of 5 (five) new autonomous regions, but to
build the Nias Islands must be done integratively because it is in one region and
supported by the similarity of identity, that is a unity as Nias ethnicity. But the fact is
showing that the bureaucracy elites are difficult to cooperate, trying to build their own
identity based on their territory. The focus of this research is to find out why
bureacucracy elites are doing contestation after the teritorial split, what local identities
are used and how local identities are used. To explain the phenomenon as the locus of
this research, the theoretical concept politics of identity from Giddens were using to
explore why the local elite was using politic of identity to control local resources, what
interests are behind them all? Under such identity conditions, bureaucracy elites
construct an identity for the interests of the elite and put more emphasis on the power
aspect to gain political and economic resources. Methodologically, this research is a
qualitative research with descriptive approach, so the description of the phenomena
seen in Nias Island can be interpreted and better understood. The results of this study
showing that, the hidden agenda of the contestation among the bureaucracy elite in the
Nias Islands basically is to set up a new power in the new territory. Local identity that
is carried out is the result of reconstruction of the elite as as flexible identity of the
ethnic community of Nias.

Between Humanity and “Apeity”: Examination of Anthropocentrism, Anthropomorphism, and Freedom in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and Ape Saga
Donovan A. McFarlane

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.9.8
This is an analysis, commentary, and critique of the “Planet of the Apes”
saga, with major focus on the 2011 film, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. The author
examines the film from the perspective of an extended and continuing, overarching
theme characterizing earlier films of the same: “Planet of the Apes” (1963), and “Planet
of the Apes” (2001). The issue of freedom and anthropocentric values defining things
human are examined in the face of what emerges as a merger or transformation of this
“humanity” to, and with apes, and thus, the creation of what the author describes as
“Apeity” in the film. The author examines what can be viewed as a bi-directional
“violation” of both Humanity and “Apeity” and describes this “violation” in terms of
its meaning to the concept of Humanity using various characters from these films and
explores the “apish” and “human” values and behaviors inherent in concepts of culture
– social psychological and sociological. The author evokes themes of anthropocentrism
and anthropomorphism in exploration of values, freedom, identity, and conflicts as
depicted in the ape saga. The author briefly examines the continuation of the social
humanism and conflicts in the 2014 film “The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” into the
third presentation, “War of the Planet of the Apes” (2017). These ideas are presented in
relation to ideals of femininity and masculinity, individualism and collectivism relative
to definition of Humanity. Finally, the author reconciles this treatment of the film with
concurrent practices regarding human values and treatment of non-human creatures and
the ideas of human fate and future.

This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Amaltas Institute of Medical Sciences, Dewas between March 2016 to August 2017. Patients were classified on the basis of detailed history, clinical examination, ECG record, chest x-ray, Weight-for-Height, age of diagnosis, follow up and other relevant investigations pertaining to the case. The correlation among the clinical examination, ECG & chest x-ray findings were studied. The predictive values of development of complications during the follow-up period by these 3 parameters were observed. Sex distribution, age of diagnosis, clinical examination, ECG, chest x-ray, weight for height, types of VSDs and development of complication on follow up of these patients were analyzed and classified accordingly. The complications of VSD are biventricular hypertrophy, congestive cardiac failure, Pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger Syndrome, aortic insufficiency, infective endocarditis& heart block (rare). In our study group 24/56 (42.8%) patients presented with biventricular hypertrophy & all of them were large sized VSDs. Out of25 large sized VSDs, 20 (35.7%) patients had congestive cardiac failure. 35 out of56 had pulmonary hypertension (62.5%), as evident by ECG (P pulmonale in lead II), clinical examination (palpable P2 & loud P2 on auscultation) & chest x-ray (enlarged Pulmonary Artery segment). 1 Patient out of 56 developed Eisenmenger Syndrome (1.7%). 1 Patient out of 56 developed infective endocarditis (1.7%). Prospective Observational Study. A detailed clinical history, clinic-radiological profile and ECG are very helpful in assessing severity and development of complications. Early diagnosis is required to aid the physician in referral of the patient to a specialized center for early surgery. Early diagnosis, proper referral as discussed above & management will help in preventing the associated complications, thereby reducing the mortality and morbidity in these children and improve their quality of life

10.36348/sijll.2018
This paper unfolds male stereotypical authoritative nature under the lens of reader response theory by Rosenblatt i.e. reader and text in The Bull and She Devil. This paper argues that a text has different meanings to different readers. Therefore, the theme of jealousy and anger is due to male authoritative nature and feelings of comparison in the selected short story. Based on the idea of transaction among the reader, text, author and social context by Rosenblatt, this paper highlights that the husband is a merciless creature toward his wife, relatives and the bull. As anger is due to male stereotypical authoritative nature, it causes jealousy and the end of his life. Ironically, he blames the destructive influence of his wife instead blaming his own negative approach.

The objective of this study is to ascertain the perception of accounting
students on their learning experience as it shapes there future professional and work
life. The study was an exploratory one and used one item open ended questionnaire to
elicit information from the participants. Qualitative research methodology was
employed in order to gain a closer insight on their learning experience of the students
at the university. The data captured were subjected to attentive examination to identify
consistent themes. We also highlight highly unusual or extra-ordinary data. We found
deficient accounting curricula in terms of what is being taught and how it is being
taught. We also found a disconnect between accounting teaching and on the job
practical exposure. Accounting faculty was not at the vanguard of role modeling for the
students. The problem of aging faculty was also highlighted. The study recommends,
among others, a complete overhaul of University accounting curricula with particular
emphasis on the internationalization of curricula. Teaching methodology should
immediately come to terms with modern trends in the field even as supervision of
faculty is given attention to prevent ill- motivated lecturers from exploiting their
students. Our findings have policy and practical implications for NUC and the
management of universities respectively.
