Mobile phone vs paper-pencil mode of note-taking, a case study among the students of Bankura University

Purpose The purpose of this study is to recommend the university authorities to build better teaching-learning environment for its students to use variables and multiple note-taking methods in class for best results fundamental in each method. Design/methodology/approach The study is a case study that follows a ‘problem-driven’ approach concerned specifically with providing practical solutions to real-world problems. A sample size of 320 respondents was obtained, in which 300 were university students selected from the first, second and third years of study and 20 were professors. Findings This case study made it very obvious to all that mobile phone note-taking is a regular practice among students at Bankura University. At the same time, the study also reveals that the practice does not significantly differ based on students’ sex. Research limitations/implications Based on the findings, the study recommends for the need to educate students on the importance of paper and pencil note-taking method so that they do not fall prey to such risks. A befitting environment should be created so that students can use various methods of note-taking in classrooms avoiding their negative impacts. Practical implications It has a wide implication in the modern age where cutting-edge technologies are shaping our course actions every day. We cannot keep ourselves from this technological association and our mobile phones have become our friend, philosopher and guide. In this scenario, this study bears a big implication in itself. Originality/value This study is based on the authors’ ground study and is purely original and unique in the true sense.

KEBIJAKAN PENGELOLAAN SUMBER DAYA IKAN KAKAP MERAH (Lutjanus spp.) DI LAUT ARAFURA

Sumber daya ikan kakap merah di Laut Arafura secara efektif dimanfaatkan oleh perikanan rawai dasar dan pukat ikan skala industri. Pukat udang dengan target penangkapan udang tertangkap juga sejumlah besar ikan demersal, di mana ikan kakap merah (Lutjanus spp.) berukuran kecil sering tertangkap dalam jumlah yang sedikit. Melaui kajian genetic similarity Australia menyimpulkan bahwa ikan kakap merah di kedua sektor Laut Arafura tersebut merupakan satu unit stok yang dikelola secara bersama melalui kerangka kerja Indonesia- Australia shared snapper management plan. Secara ekonomi, langkah pengelolaan bersama tersebut mempunyai implikasi luas yang berpotensi merugikan Indonesia. Hasil analisis data dan informasi lanjutan menemukan bahwa populasi ikan kakap merah di kedua sektor perairan Laut Arafura merupakan unit-unit stok yang terpisah dengan cakupan kawasan perairan yang sangat luas (mega separate stock). Dengan demikian stok ikan kakap merah di kedua sektor Laut Arafura tersebut dapat dikelola sesuai dengan yurisdiksi, kebijakan, dan tujuan pengelolaan yang ditetapkan oleh masing-masing negara.Red snapper resources in the Arafura Sea have been effectively exploited by the industrial scale of bottom long line, fish trawl, and shrimp trawl fisheries. A substantial mount of demersal fish caught by the shrimp trawl fisheries in which a small size (juvenile) red snapper species was also retained. Through genetic similarity studies Australia concluded that the red snapper stock in both sector of the Arafura Sea belong to one stock unit and should collaborative managed under the framework of Indonesia-Australia shared snapper management plan. Based on the economic aspect this management has a wide implication that lead to some potential losses to Indonesia. Further studies on some population dynamics aspects and analysis of the available data and information it was found that the red snapper stocks in the two sectors of the Arafura Sea provide a mega separate stock, occupying a very wide waters area. Based on these findings it can be stated that management of these mega separate stock could be managed in accordance with their respective jurisdictions, policies, and management objectives set up by the respective countries.
