Interpreting Green Advertising messages: A Perspective of Environmentally-informed consumers in Kenya
Leah Muchemi (PhD), Hezron Mogambi (PhD), Ndeti Ndati (PhD)

Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the environmentally-informed consumers’ interpretation of green product advertising messages. The increasing awareness of environmental issues and diet related diseases resulting from use of unhealthy products has contributed to the growth of green-conscious consumers. This has prompted businesses to invest in green advertising (Ottman, 2003; Guber, 2003& Karna et al, 2001). Studies by Lee (2013) and Yates (2009) reveal that consumers have difficulty in understanding green label messages. However, the studies were carried out among general consumer populations that did not have special interest in environmental issues and this could explain the difficulty in understanding the messages. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the views of consumers who are experts or students of environmental studies and were presumed to have a good understanding of issues related to green-consciousness so as to establish their interpretation of green advertising messages.

Human Computer Interaction & eLearning: An overview of Enabling Technologies in Student Centered Environment
Ishara Silva

Abstract: Armed with the advanced information and communication technologies, eLearning is having a far-reaching impact on learning in the new era. Learning is shifting from instructor- centered to learner-centered, and is undertaken anywhere, from classrooms to homes and offices. The concept of traditional education does not fit well with the new world of lifelong learning, in which the roles of instructor, student and curriculum are changing. eLearning has been crucial to meet this new challenge. The new technology look at new development of this area such as: designing for inclusion, personalization, blended learning and consistency in computer collaboration and delivery of online education need of remote education “teaching by telling” to “learning on demand” or “learning by asking or doing”. This research is carried out to investigate the different methods of eLearning systems relate to learner’s value by comparing designs of personalized and adaptive eLearning systems. Also this will examine the appropriate eLearning tools for different focus groups to satisfy the learner’s experience of eLearning while identifing the barriers which can be affected to the successful implementation of eLearning tools.

Muh. Nur Hidayat, Ratmawati Malaka, Leily Agustina, Wempie Pakiding

Abstract: The use of feed additive developed enough at this time with the intent to reduce the fat content in the broiler carcass.This study aimed to examine the effect of feed additives probiotic bacteria Bacillus spp against the percentage of abdominal fat and carcass quality of broiler. This research was conducted in the Laboratory of Poultry Production and Food Chemistry Laboratory Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Hasanuddin University, Makassar. The method used in this study is completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of three treatments: (P1) basal diet (negative control) (P2) basal diet + probiotic Bacillus spp 50 mg / kg of feed (8 x 108 CFU), (3) basal diet + probiotic Bacillus spp 60 mg/ kg of feed (11.2 x 108 CFU). Each treatment consisted of four (4) replicates containing four (4) day old chicken). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results showed that giving the probiotic Bacillus spp insignificant effect (P> 0.05) on the percentage of abdominal fat and carcass quality. However, based on the results of against the calculation, the increase in the level of use of probiotic Bacillus spp tends to decrease the percentage of abdominal fat, as well as the percentage of carcass weight tended to be better.
