This study discusses the comparative results of students' satisfaction level in both public and private university students and student’s perception and expectations from journalism education are focused and explained simultaneously. Overall results show that some newly established and periphery universities are lagging behind comparatively from the old and centered universities. But along with all disadvantages and fewer opportunities, close-ratio differences in satisfaction level are seen among those universities, especially among public and private universities, respectively. Most of the students of 76.67% have changed their negative perception after schooling in departments. Though the majority of the students of 90.67% are enjoying journalism study now, the reverse things are found in liking teaching methods. 51% of private university students dislike teaching methods, which depict less satisfaction level.

In this study, the aim of the study is to find out whether there is a statistically significant difference between value priorities of public and private universities in Turkey. This is a quantitative study using ANOVA for the analysis of the data. The results suggest that private university students show greater tendency towards universalism, power, tradition, conformity, and hedonism compared to the public university students, while the public university students showed greater sensitivity to benevolence compared to the private university students. The test results also showed that the education level of mothers do not have a significant effect on value priorities of both public and private university students, while father's education has significant effect on the perception of power.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the causal links between public and private university environments and the entrepreneurial intention (EI) of students. Design/methodology/approach The impact of different university environments on the students’ EI was checked using a model adapted from Krueger et al. (2000). The study comprised a sample of students enrolled in business administration from three public and three private universities at first semester (freshmen) and at the last two semesters (senior) in Brazil. The model was measured through various questions and later assessed by principal component analysis to build constructs. Via t-test and path analysis the EI and the antecedents were subjected to a comparative analysis to test the equality of the models across the four categories emerged. Findings The two main types of Brazilian university environments (public and private) do not present significant differences in the way they influence EI and its antecedents. Both the tests of means and the tests of measurement of the structural relations between constructs confirm this finding with only a few exceptions. The result of this study is opposed to other studies carried out in Brazil, by showing that the public university environment is not worse for the entrepreneurship than the private. The environmental effects are mostly equal and they as a whole are not conducive to the development of EI. Research limitations/implications The study comprises business students only, and enrolled on regular universities. It is worth highlighting that evidence was brought to the debate for a group of universities in Brazil. Replicating the study with students from other areas and other universities, as well as students in Master’s and Doctorate programs could enrich the analyses. Practical implications This study provides insight into entrepreneurship education, as to which the university environment is conducive to the entrepreneurship. It brings insights for the development of entrepreneurial universities. Originality/value This study contributes to understanding the differences between the public and private universities environment regarding students’ EI.

An effort done to decrease dependence toward rice flour is by changing rice flour with pumpkin. High potentcy of pumpkin andmung beans production in Indonesia is not matched with the public interest on its utilization. Nagasari is a white-coloredtraditional cake with chewy texture and is filled with banana.The addition of yellow pumpkin and mung beans can provideadditional nutrients and as an alternative healthy snack. The research was aimed to know the effect of pumpkin and mungbeans addition on nagasari reviewed from physical properties, organoleptic and nutrient content of nagasari. This researchwas a quasi experimental with simple random sampling. The data of physical properties was analized descriptively. Data offavorite level test was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test and if there were differences, it would be continued by Mann-Whitney test. The physical properties of Nagasari with pumpkin addition made the yellow colour looks brighter, its aromawould be decreased and the pumpkin aroma would be stronger, the sweet taste of it will be dominant and the chewy texturecould be decreased. The favorite level of nagasari with variation of pumpkin and mung beans based on the quality of colour,aroma, taste, and texture was significantly different (p<0,05). The addition of pumpkin in nagasari showed the difference ofbetakaroten, so that the more pumpkin added the more betakaroten content. The addition of mung beans in nagasari showedthe difference. Nagasari with mung beans showed the protein content was higher than the one without mungbeans addition.The content of energy, carbohydrate, and fat were not matched with the theory. It might be caused by biased of the researchwhich did not take nagasari sampling homogeneously. Conclusion: There was an effect of pumpkin and mung bean sadditiontoward the physical properties, organoleptic and the nutrient content of the nagasari traditional food.
