The Influence of Creativity and Learning Innovation on Entrepreneurial Mentality and its Implications for Learning Outcomes

This research aims to analyze the influence of creativity and learning innovation on entrepreneurial mentality and its implications on student learning outcomes. The research was carried out in the Economic Education Program of Universitas Pasundan Bandung with 43 students as the sample of the research. The research method used descriptive quantitative method with path analysis. The results of this study are: 1) Creativity variable is in good category, with an average score of 4.06; 2) Learning innovation variable is in good category, with the score of 4,17; 3) Entrepreneurial mental variable is in good category, with an average score of 4,14; 4) Student learning outcome variables are good, with an average score of 3.94; 5) There is influence of creativity (X1) to entrepreneurial mentality (Y) with total influence of 32,8%. Learning innovation (X2) to entrepreneurial mentality (y) with total influence of 30,47%. There is an influence of creativity (X1), and learning innovation (X2), simultaneously to entrepreneurial mentality (Y) with total influence of 63,3%; 6) There is an entrepreneurial mental effect (Y) on student learning outcomes (Z) of 67.7%. It can be concluded that there are influences between creativity and learning innovation towards entrepreneurship mentality and its implication for the student learning outcomes.

“The people” in populist discourse

At the centre of populism is a problem of meaning. We could simply say it is a semiotic problem, but I would like to go further, and say that it’s a cognitive problem, one intrinsic to the human nervous system. It is a characteristic of our species that becomes highly active and significant in group action at certain social and historical conjunctures. The problem is the meaning of the word people, which on most accounts is centrally important for making out what the phenomenon called “populism” is about. It is unhelpful to say the word is meaningless or vague, because clearly something is going on in the minds of its users and their hearers. That something is not simply about denoting an entity; it is about activating a mental effect.

Influence of pharmaceutical wastes on the environment and the issues associated with handling them

There is growing awareness and concern regarding the presence of chemical constituents of pharmaceutical waste in the environment. A recent study indicated that pharmaceutical wastes are present at a low level in surface water in many countries. Concern is based in part on the fact that pharmaceutical waste: are designed to have biological effect, are persistent in or continually added to the environment, have negative environmental effects (specifically on aquatic life) even at low levels, and potentially have cumulative and synergistic effects when combined with other pharmaceuticals. The primary route of pharmaceutical waste into the environment is sewage discharges, large stock yards where the unmetabolized pharmaceuticals are excreted by humans and animals and end up in surface water and groundwater. Key words: pharmaceutical waste, waste treatment, pollution of the environment, negative environ- mental effect.
