AbstractThe European Union is probably the most complex political and institutional decision-making structure known to humankind. Nowadays, scholars increasingly agree that no single theory can explain all the mechanisms at work in the system of EU governance and decision-making at all levels in any satisfactory way. Even for trained experts and specialists, the complexity of the EU machinery is extremely difficult to grasp. The extensive academic debate in this area is an indicator for both the sophistication of the scholarly discussion and the uncertainty of those who are trying to understand and explain the European integration project. For students who are just learning about the field, trying to untangle that complexity is even more challenging. The difficult task for teachers and instructors is finding ways to introduce students to the institutional framework and the related legislative processes of EU decision-making, and thereby help to facilitate their understanding of the nature of the Union. The purpose of this study is to suggest an alternative teaching method. The simulation "EU Chocolate Directive," can provide participants with the tools necessary to negotiate more effectively at the EU level.

En este supuesto práctico, vamos a resolver la situación que se nos plantea y que es la siguiente: se trata de un alumno immigrante, procedente de China,que llega a nuestro centro y al que tenemos que hacerle una adaptación, puesto que no habla nada de Inglés y sus conocimientos de la lengua española son escasos. Se trata de un grupo de segundo curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Tendremos que plantearnos una metodología inclusiva atendiendo a la legislación vigente en esta materia. ; In this case study, we will have to solve or to give answer to a particular situation which is having an immigrant student in class. This is a possibility to give him/her proper accomodation. He/ she is from China and does speak English and speaks a little bit of Spanish.

Abstract Local agripreneurs continued to rise in Brunei with the conversion from agriculture to agribusiness, and these are an essential pathway that makes the revolution in Brunei agriculture. Whereas agribusiness makes a profitable venture and more attractive. Hence, it is developed more income for the locals and create employment opportunities based on agriculture. By 2010, Haji Zainal, the owner of Sotorindu Restaurant and Catering whom his restaurant successfully branched out of six various locations in Brunei-Muara and uses his farm's fresh produce for the food serves preparation. During the same year, Haji Zainal opened a 100-acre natural park is diverse fauna and flora species, jungle trails fit for ATV racing and animals. This paper aims to solve the main challenges faced by both his restaurant and Agri park within the Brunei organization. Whereas the main problems are lack of infrastructure and technology, risk of management theft employee, and stiff inter-community competition. With these present issues faced will examines the alternative solutions of pros and cons of feasible solutions to problems by adopting the Guest model proffered by David Guest in 1987 where this model examined six dimensions analysis and four crucial components. With the help of Government support, Haji Zainal can extend and develop innovations to his Agri park, preventing the best ways toward his management issues, and underlining the key strategies to enhance in the competitive industry.

This report contains basic description of the six case studies (CS) in the FarFish project. Four of the CS have Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPA) with the EU and two are within international waters. The CS cover the Cape Verde tuna fishery (SFPA), the Senegal tuna and hake fishery (SFPA), the Mauritanian mixed fishery (SFPA), Seychelles tuna fishery (SFPA), the high-seas mixed fishery in the South West Atlantic (FAO Major Fishing Area 41) and the mixed fishery in the international waters of South East Atlantic (FAO Area 47). The information presented is primarily based on a review of the available literature and the data that will feed other FarFish work packages (WPs). This case study characterizations, which will be updated as the project progresses, includes descriptions of geography, oceanography, ecosystem characteristics, fisheries activity and production in the area. It also includes description of the existing management procedures and overall their objectives, stock assessment methods used; as well as identification of the main relevant authorities, operators and other stakeholders. The governance within the fisheries is also discussed, as well as issues related to compliance and transparency. The main findings in the evaluation of the SFPA or the high-seas fishery is presented; and the supply-/value chain is studied. The CS characterizations also include overviews of how FarFish will address the gaps and challenges identified, as well as links to the most relevant literature and data. The case studies cover a range of fisheries of different complexity, from largely single (or a few) tuna fisheries to multi-species demersal fisheries. The management regimes do also range from essentially no management in the case of the high-seas mixed fishery in the South West Atlantic (FAO Major Fishing Area 41), to management at the national and Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (RFMO) levels. While each case study is in general unique, they all face similar problems and challenges. These ...
