Considering the exponential growth of drone technology and its expected economic effect [1], the Hungarian Government called on the industrial and academic sectors for an innovative cooperation in the field of intelligent autonomous mobility. The tender was launched by the Institute of Transport Sciences Non-profit Ltd. (ITS) last December, and among the winners was the joint tender of the Mould Tech Systems Ltd., the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the University of Public Service (UPS). The common research is focusing on the implementation of a special Vertical Take-Off and Landing Unmanned Aircraft System (VTOL UAS)-based meteorological support system which is to measure the lower parts of the atmosphere within the planetary boundary layer (PBL). The researchers of UPS are examining the legal issues of operational conditions, flight authorization, flight safety aspects concerning the identification of potential dangers, and the airworthiness issues and will formulate their recommendations. In this paper the authors introduce the numbers of issues that have to be solved in favour of the safe and legal VTOL UAS operation.

In the past three decades, global and regional media freedom advocacy and activist groups have multiplied as risks to journalists and media workers have escalated. Nowhere has this trend been so marked as in the Oceania region where some four organisations have developed a media freedom role. Of these, one is unique in that while it has had a regional mission for almost two decades, it has been continuously based at four university journalism schools in Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Pacific Media Watch was founded as an independent, non-profit and non-government network by two journalism academics in the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ) at the University of Technology, Sydney. Its genesis was the jailing of two Taimi ‘o Tonga journalists, ‘Ekalafi Moala and Filokalafi ‘Akau’ola, and a ‘whistleblowing’ pro-democracy member of Parliament in Tonga, ‘Akilisi Pohiva, for alleged contempt in September 1996. PMW played a role in the campaign to free the three men. Since then, the agency has developed an investigative journalism strategy to challenge issues of ethics, media freedom, industry ownership, cross-cultural diversity and media plurality. One of PMW’s journalists won the 2013 Dart Asia-Pacific Centre for Journalism and Trauma Prize for an investigation into torture and social media in Fiji. This article presents a case study of the PMW project and examines its history and purpose as a catalyst for independent journalists, educator journalists, citizen journalists and critical journalists in a broader trajectory of Pacific protest.Figure 1: A Pacific Media Watch Fiji torture and social media investigation series won the Dart Asia-Pacific Centre trauma journalism prize in 2013.

Abstract. Quantifying blade tip vortices helps to understand the process of vortices detaching from the wind converter blade and their development in the wake until finally dissipating in the far wake, contributing to overall turbulence. This is especially interesting for set-ups of numerical simulations when setting the spatial resolution of the simulation grid. The MASC MK 3 (Multi-purpose Airborne Sensor Carrier Mark 3) UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) by the University of Tübingen measured atmospheric and meteorological quantities during the HeliOW campaign in July 2018 data behind a wind energy converter (WEC) (Enercon E-112) north of Wilhelmshaven, Germany, at the Jade Wind Park. Aside turbulence distribution, air temperature, humidity and the three wind components u, v, w in front of the WEC and in the wake were measured. By evaluation of the wind components, detached blade tip vortices were identified in the time series. The presented data were captured under a dominating marine stratification about 2 km from the North Sea coast line with northern wind direction. The measured vortices are compared to the analytical Burnham-Hallock model for two vortices spinning in opposite direction. The model has its origin in aviation, where it describes two aircraft wake vortices. It will be shown that the BH model can be used to describe wake vortices behind a WEC. An evaluation method is presented to measure detached tip vortices with a fixed wing UAS. Also an improvement for the model in WEC wake use will be proposed.

This article is a follow-on discussion to the September 1992 Industry and Higher Education article on ‘Cooperation between business and higher education in Poland’ which described the establishment of the Enterprise Development Center at Warsaw University of Technology (a business incubator) to foster links between the university and businesses and help to develop commercial applications of university-originated technology. The previous article also described plans to establish a non-profit university–industry association in Poland to promote relations between the two communities. Here, the authors discuss the activities of the now established Polish Higher Education-Business Forum, and technology commercialization in Poland and at Warsaw University of Technology.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) has become the standard used to describe and evaluate students’ command of a second or foreign language. It is an internationally acknowledged standard language proficiency framework which many countries have adopted such as China, Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Malaysia Ministry of Education is aware and realise the need for the current English language curriculum to be validated as to reach the international standard as prescribed by the CEFR. The implementation of CEFR has begun at primary and secondary level since 2017 and now higher education institutions are urged to align their English Language Curriculum to CEFR as part of preparation in receiving students who have been taught using CEFR-aligned curriculum at schools by year 2022. This critical reflection article elucidates the meticulous processes that we have embarked on in re-aligning our English Language Curriculum to the standard and requirements of CEFR. The paper concludes with a remark that the alignment of the English curriculum at the university needs full support from the management in ensuring that all the stakeholders are fully prepared, informed and familiar with the framework.

Food handler still fails to play their part even when the government imposes “No Plastic Bag” campaign and a ban on polystyrene foam to pack foods. This research focuses on eco-friendly food packaging based on the perception and practice of young consumers, especially the undergraduates of Mara University of Technology Penang Campus (UiTMPP). Questionnaire was constructed and distributed to 315 respondents.  The collected data were analyzed with simple descriptive statistic of frequency, mean and standard deviation. Most of the respondents are aware on eco-friendlyfood packaging. They agreed that the university should propose some alternative to control and reduce non-biodegradable foods packaging.

Rotating Detonation

AbstractThe idea of using the phenomenon of rotating detonation to propulsion has its roots in fifties of the last century in works of Adamson et al. and Nicholls et al. at the University of Michigan. The idea was recently reinvented and experimental research and numerical simulations on the Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) are carried in numerous institutions worldwide, in Poland at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) since 2004. Over the period 2010-2014 WUT and Institute of Aviation (IOA) jointly implemented the project under the Innovative Economy Operational Programme entitled ‘Turbine engine with detonation combustion chamber’. The goal of the project was to replace the combustion chamber of turboshaft engine GTD-350 with the annular detonation chamber.This paper is focused on investigation of the influence of a geometry and flow conditions on the structure and propagation stability of the rotating detonation wave. Presented results are in majority an outcome of the aforementioned programme, in particular authors’ works on the development of the in-house code REFLOPS USG and its application to simulation of the rotating detonation propagation in the RDE.
