Future Demand

As interest in astronomy develops through missions to Mars, SETI, and heaven-only-knows-what earth-shaking new discoveries in the future, demand for astronomy courses at all levels will increase. Without adequate numbers of professional astronomers to teach them, persons from other fields will be thrown into the breech. Already a significant number of college students in the United States are receiving instruction from persons not trained in astronomy. I suspect that this is currently true world-wide, especially as physicists who adopt our field for their research on neutrinos or cosmic strings are assigned or volunteer to teach elementary courses.

Future Demand

Once set the mitigation of greenhouse gases in the National Policy on Climate Change (NPCC) with the National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel (NPPB) in Brazil, this paper aims to estimate the need for biodiesel blended with petroleum diesel to 2020, taking into account the expansion limits of diesel. To estimate the future demand for diesel and CO2 emissions, the Box-Jenkins methodology and top-down were used respectively. The results show that the mixture in Brazil is expected to reach between B31 (31% of blend) and B67 (67% of blend) in 2020, to meet the objectives of the NPCC.

Future Demand

In this paper we turn to two somewhat overlapping areas where we see potential future demand for lower-skill workers. These are domestic workers and caregivers for the elderly. In contrast to workers brought from overseas to pick fruit or prune vines, the workers we consider are either directly or indirectly caring for people. In this paper we consider the future demand for such workers; how we might meet this demand, particularly through migration; and, if we increasingly rely on migration, what are some of the key policy issues to consider.

Future Demand

Some capacity expansion problems encountered in water resources development are studied. Models yielding least-cost shedules (i.e. optimal selection and sequencing of potential projects) in order to meet a stipulated increase in water demand are first discussed. However, recognizing uncertainties in the future demand, these ought to be taken into account. In order to do this, a new general dynamic programming algorithm has been developed. Depending on how detailed we are able to state the preferences against shortage, chance-constraints or penalty functions are included in the optimization. The use of the algorithm, as an aid in the current planning, is illustrated by solving an example under deterministic as well as stochastic assumptions about the future demand.

Inductive Analysis

The vocational character of polytechnic education has declined in the last ten years, especially for polytechnic which has non-production-based curriculum. This research aims to reveal factors which have contribution in the devocationalization of polytechnic education, and to find out the alternative solution to revocationalize by considering the current condition and the future demand. This study applied qualitative approach supported by quantitative data that involved three polytechnics in Bandung and Malang, three industries in Bandung, one industry in Yogyakarta, and an expert as representative from the Department of Industrial and Cooperation Yogyakarta. Interpretational inductive analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. This study revealed: (1) environmental factors are very influential factor in shaping the character of polytechnic education and recognition; (2) the greatest gaining vocational character acquired through apprenticeship in industry or workplace; and (3) gaining vocational character needs to be managed by maintain and strengthen cooperation between polytechnic and industries, and competent institution which can develop education system.
