Black Studies Programs: Problems and Prospects

In its present form and function, the socio-political institution of American education does not properly serve citizens of African descent. What is now recognized as higher education geared towards meeting the special needs of black students is commonly labeled Black Studies. It is submitted here that Black Studies programs, in the main, are nothing more than reactions to the oppression that obtains within the institutional system of higher education. Unquestionably, the majority of these programs differ little in concept or approach from academic programs in the Euro-American tradition.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a long history of innovation in its relationships with industry. The form and function of its Industrial Liaison Program were reported in an earlier issue of Industry and Higher Education. This article explores why companies build relationships with universities, and how they value these programmes and activities. The author also describes two important programmes underway at MIT to craft new partnerships with US industry.

And Function

This study aims to describe how the form and function of the higher education public relations promotion strategy in the Society 5.0 era. The research approach used in this study is a descriptive approach. The researcher describes the form and function of the higher education public relations promotion strategy in the Society 5.0 era. The type of research used is qualitative research. The results and discussion of the study indicate that the strategy for promoting higher education public relations in the Society 5.0 era is more in response to competition between higher education institutions and to accelerate access to technology and information in carrying out its promotional strategy. In its implementation, it is carried out with a direct strategy and an indirect strategy. The strategy of promoting higher education public relations in the context of Society 5.0 places the community as the focus of interest and convenience in using advanced technology, IoT (Internet of Things), robots, and artificial intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR) actively in life which in this case is the field of higher education so that there is an increase in community participation.

The Relationship

STM is one of the most promising techniques available for visualizing the fine details of biomolecular structure. It has been used to map the surface topography of inorganic materials in atomic dimensions, and thus has the resolving power not only to determine the conformation of small molecules but to distinguish site-specific features within a molecule. That level of detail is of critical importance in understanding the relationship between form and function in biological systems. The size, shape, and accessibility of molecular structures can be determined much more accurately by STM than by electron microscopy since no staining, shadowing or labeling with heavy metals is required, and there is no exposure to damaging radiation by electrons. Crystallography and most other physical techniques do not give information about individual molecules.We have obtained striking images of DNA and RNA, using calf thymus DNA and two synthetic polynucleotides, poly(dG-me5dC)·poly(dG-me5dC) and poly(rA)·poly(rU).
