scholarly journals ENHANCING TRACKING PRACTICES IN THE MALAYSIAN FREIGHT FORWARDING INDUSTRY

Freight forwarding is the movement of all intermodal commodities on behalf of shippers. Although the freight forwarding industry's contribution to a country's national output may not be as competitive as other sectors, the role that this industry plays in supporting an economy's activity cannot be underestimated. Furthermore, the stiff competition in the freight forwarding industry requires companies to continue to excel to survive and compete with the competitors. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to assess current literature and practices in the freight forwarding industry regarding tracking practices. Furthermore, it is expected that the documentation, freight readiness, route and technology capabilities will serve as a foundation for more effective operations and practices in Malaysia, ensuring the freight forwarding industry's sustainability. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on freight forwarding performance and can assist managers in reacting appropriately to create cost-effective logistic solutions.

The digital age together with the political and economic agenda to make higher education more accessible and cost effective are challenging teaching academics worldwide to rethink and redesign their pedagogical practices. The challenges include how to respond to increasingly diverse twenty first century learners who demand flexibility, and the requirements of a more service driven economy. For a program to be successful in higher education's current learnscape, teaching and learning need to optimise students' experiences and learning outcomes. The exploratory study discussed in this chapter investigates seventy-three postgraduate students' experiences with blended learning in guidance and counselling programs in one Australian university with an offshore branch campus in Singapore. The study aims to inform the future design and delivery of teaching and learning within blended learning spaces with a focus on pedagogical practices for student engagement. As such, it contributes to the body of knowledge about learning design that enhances student learning experiences.

The 2017 National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Forensic Science Research and Development (R&D) Symposium is intended to promote collaboration and enhance knowledge transfer of NIJ-funded research. The NIJ Forensic Science R&D Program funds both basic or applied R&D projects that will (1) increase the body of knowledge to guide and inform forensic science policy and practice or (2) result in the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods that have the potential for forensic application. The intent of this program is to direct the findings of basic scientific research; research and development in broader scientific fields applicable to forensic science; and ongoing forensic science research toward the development of highly discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for the identification, analysis, and interpretation of physical evidence for criminal justice purposes.

The periosteum is a composite tissue comprising an outer protective fibrovascular layer and an inner cambium regenerative pluripotent layer. The regenerative function of periosteum has been put to clinical use by dental surgeons to manage alveolar ridge reduction and by tissue engineers to produce autologous micrograft and collagen used to manage complex wounds and scars. The essence of this study is to add to the body of knowledge on clinical use of periosteum to treat bone defects from the orthopaedic perspective. We highlight a case series to demonstrate the use of periosteum in managing bone defects caused by benign bone tumour, chronic osteomyelitis, tibial hemimelia and traumatic bone loss of the distal tibia in Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. Treatment of bone defects by this means is cost effective and the outcome is very satisfactory. Key words:  Periosteum, mesenchymal stem cells, bone defects, distraction histiogenesis.

#FeesMustFall was a movement whose maxim was, “This revolution will be intersectional, or it will be bullshit.” This article is a self-reflection on my participation as a so-called radical black intersectional feminist in the #FeesMustFall movement at Stellenbosch University. It is also an attempt to provide evidence of the double erasures taking place in the mainstream patriarchal narratives about the #FeesMustFall movement. My story bears witness to the fact that queer black womxn were the backbone of the movement and that #FeesMustFall did indeed occur at Stellenbosch University. These constitute the double erasures taking place in terms of what is and can be known about the #FeesMustFall movement. My reflections serve to make a much-needed contribution to the body of knowledge produced about the #FeesMustFall movement.
