UNRE to introduce Animal Science and Forestry course next year

p UNRE Vice Chancellor Professor John Warren at the CPA NGI Branch Annual Conference.

Papua New Guinea University of Natural Resources and Environment will introduce new academic programs next year.

University Vice Chancellor Professor John Warren announced this at the 5th Certified Practicing Accountant PNG - New Guinea Islands Branch annual conference late last Friday (June 23).

He said by next year, UNRE will introduce two new courses - Animal Science and Forestry; while work on the new Tourism and Hospitality course is in progress.

He also announced that new qualifications would be introduced - Advanced Diploma; Honors Degree and Masters for certain disciplines such as Fisheries.

The Vice Chancellor said only top students will be selected to do the Honors Degree program.

Another exciting new development revealed by Professor Warren at the conference was the introduction of the Entrepreneurship module for Year Four students.

He said under this module, students will be equipped

that will also be taught are:• CommunicationSkills• WorkExperience1,2&3• Introductionto Economics• AppliedMathematics• Health&Safety• MarketingManagement• HumanResource Management

With the Work experience module, students will be required to work with industries as part of their industrial training.

Professor Warren told the captivated audience that something else he hoped to achieve in the next couple of years, is the adaptation of species.

He said the world is full of information and students need to be taught: on how to access this information, how to use it and how to recognise what is true and what is not true.

He said students in Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture will be required to adopt one species of either in plants, fish or forestry and will be tasked to record everything they find about this species: from traditional knowledge, to how it is cooked, eaten and if the species have medical values.

“This knowledge is precious and the information gathered is valuable and will be scientifically proven before it is put online for the world to see,” he said.

Professor Warren said this becomes the property for the particular student who gets all the benefits.

VICE CHANCELLOR’S COLUMN

By Professor John WarrenVice Chancellor

This article was written for the Times Higher Education, a weekly magazine based in London, reporting specifically on news and issues related to higher education. It is the United Kingdom’s leading publication in its field.

Mi no laik tokim bosman ol samting i bagarap

Translated from Papua New Guinea pigin-English, this means something like; I don’t want

to tell the boss that things are buggered (bagarap/broken). For all the language is unfamiliar, the concept is almost universally recognisable.

Since becoming bosman bilong yunivesiti (Vice Chancellor) at a small University in Papua New Guinea, I have discovered that much of what happens here is very familiar.

Many of the problems academics face here are the same as in any UK university. Similar yes, but often more extreme and different enough to shed new light on old familiar issues.

A fine example of this is capturing and responding to the student voice. It is never easy telling the boss-man unpalatable truths.

Constructive feedback, is a key component in the process of reflection and revision that is designed to drive improvement in both universities and their students. It may often be unspoken, but universities enter a covenant with their students. We offer them feedback on their academic work, so that they can improve, while students increasingly reciprocate and express their views about the education they are receiving. In recent years, screeds have been written about the nature of this bond, with many academics believing that the student voice has become far too powerful.

Here in Papua New Guinea, the student voice is traditionally

more likely to be expressed as a war cry than through a student satisfaction survey. Last year, violent clashes between students and the authorities resulted in a student being shot and killed.

It should never require death to focus minds. There are a host of good reasons for trying to capture student views. Good practice also requires that after the exercise you reflect and try and determine if you have achieved your desired outcome. Therefore, six months after introducing the idea of student feedback on their university

experience, we invited a panel of Australian academics to visit us and ask both our academic staff and students, what they thought about giving and receiving feedback. Their findings were illuminating.

In a land that boasts 1000 tribes and 800 different languages, it is naive to talk about traditional practice. Having said that in many village communities respect for elders and tribal leaders is much stronger than it has become in the west. This reverence for authority was reflected in the comments made by both students and staff. Our students reported a reluctance to criticize their teachers. While academics admitted to feeling threatened by the empowerment of students.

Here in Papua New Guinea, family, community and tribal

bonds all remain very strong. While the concept of nationhood is still a fairly new and alien. Staff and students openly socialise within regional groupings. Not surprisingly there are both positive and negative elements to this. Mutual support networks are highly effective.

Unfortunately, nepotism, here called wantokism, (wantok, is derived from one talk, meaning speaking the same language or being from the same tribe) is endemic. Students and staff responses both reflect this; students speak about favouritism being shown and revenge being taken.

While these are extreme statements, it is clear that feedback is only respected and embraced, if the person providing the feedback is also respected. We might not want to admit that there is an us versus them mentality between staff and students in the UK, but it may be worth asking, if the student voice is magnified without being tempered by appropriate training in providing constructive criticism, does this help build mutual respect or drive tribalism?

In answering a question about anonymous marking, two academic misinterpreted the question. Their assumption was, that it was the

anonymity of the marker that required protection, to ensure that they were not targeted by vengeful students unhappy with the grades awarded.

This reversal of process may initially appear comical, but is

it really so different from the situation in the UK? How many British academics have felt threatened by comments made by students?

I certainly regularly recall comments written about me on feedback forms many years ago. Partly because they were witty, but also because their barbs still cling to my flesh.

In more extreme examples, I have encountered academics shredding piles of feedback forms, because they considered them contemptable.

Conceptually feedback and reflection is a marvellous virtuous circle. However, for it to function effectively here in PNG, the challenge I face is breaking through the ancient traditional practices that younger generations do not criticise older ones.

Here the observation is stark. But the same issues still fester in British universities. I believe it remains a problem in the UK, because staff satisfaction is not really taken seriously enough.

Sufficient time has never been spent helping academics deal with

difficult sometimes hurtful feedback. They are expected to be the adults and they should be able to deal with it.

When you are tasked with trying to establish the positive feedback loop of reflection totally from scratch, it is obvious that both staff and students require collective training and support. In any language its always difficult telling the bosman (or bosmeri) there are things they could be doing to improve.

If this is so obvious, it begs the question; why do we so rarely provide training for academics in receiving feedback. Why is there not a routine process of induction which covers the giving and receiving of feedback for every cohort of students, that fully integrates academic staff?

WATER PNG LIMITEd is hosting an intervarsity debate on Water and Sanitation to commemorate its 30th Anniversary in Papua New Guinea.

The event will be held at the University of Technology from October 9-13, 2017. It will be televised live.

In a letter to UNRE Vice Chancellor Professor John Warren, Water PNG Limited Managing Director Raka Taviri (Jnr) said the objective of the debate is to get tertiary students involved in gathering information on water and sanitation; and to advocate on their importance.

“It will provide an opportunity for individual students to practice their research and public speaking skills… to create awareness and knowledge on the

International Food Corporation (IFC) Limited has for the first time, shown interest in PNG UNRE graduates.

IFC Human Resource Manager, Mustafa Saleh (pictured right), visited the University last month to market the company’s Talent Apprenticeship Development Graduate Program (TADP).

UNRE Pro Vice Chancellor Academic Dr Samson Laup thanked Mr Saleh for making the trip and for his presentation.

Dr Laup said the presentation was exciting and attractive because it displayed IFC’s commitment to mentor and produce quality Papua New Guinean managers.

Under the program, graduates will go through a two-year training

importance of Water and Sanitation and its important role in our society and development,” Mr Taviri said.

Each of the country’s six universities is required to stage a series of pre-debates in order to select the finalfour (4) debaters who will represent their institution at

the national event in Lae. Mr Taviri said Water PNG

would provide topics for the pre-debates.

Travelling with the students will be 1 adjudicator; 1 scorer and a team manager or coach. All teams are expected to be in their University colours.

All expenses to Lae - return airfare, accommodation, transport, meals and incidentals - will be covered by Water PNG Limited.

The winning team (university) will be awarded at Water PNG Limited’s Gala Dinner on Friday October 13, 2017 at Lae International Hotel.

Water PNG debate coordinators Ishmael Kambori and Margaret Sepi-Munjin met with Professor Warren last Friday (June 23) to confirm UNRE’sparticipation.

In that meeting, Mr Kambori revealed that Water PNG would pay 50 percent of the winning team’s fees in 2018.

So far more than 20 students have registered their interest to participate.

program, aimed not only at utilising the skills and knowledge they gained from university but more so on finding their natural abilities or talents.

IFC provides a supportive work environment that will help each cadet create a career of value. The company believes that those fortunate to be on

the apprenticeship program will enjoy a variety of experiences and will develop an enormous range of skills and build networks that will stay throughout their career.

Mr Saleh said IFC continues to focus on the foundation of a skilled and talented fundamentals, development capabilities and growing talents by providing requisite knowledge, skills and competencies which are either

organised in-house or by external professional bodies.

When briefing them of the eligibility criteria of TADP, he also told students of the company’s expectations.

Mr Saleh will also market the program to other Universities.

Meanwhile, Dr Laup has requested IFC Besta to take in students for their six-month industrial training.

ICT services at the University have improved considerably.

For many years internet and e-mail connectivity was very poor and communication was a huge problem not just within the campus but with external organisations and individuals.

This has improved considerably following Mr Harada’s appointment in April. He and his team have been hard at work to lift the ICT infrastructure of the University to new heights.Mr Harada said his first

task was to contact several Internet Service Providers (ISPs) both in and out of Papua New Guinea to improve the Internet capacity.

Since then, he and his team have successfully installed new VSAT (Very Small Axx Terminal) dishes on campus provided by Telikom PNG and Excite PNG; and are currently testing the Excite PNG system.

The IT manager has for the firsttime,introducedtheStaffGroup Mail service, making it easier for staff to send out emails to all staff. He also also set up emails for user groups, making sharing of information withinspecificgroups,easier.

Mr Harada now plans to upgrade the PNGUNRE Local Area Network (LAN) as well as WiFi Access Points.

He said he and his team will try to improve teaching, learning and research facilities with new technologies and applications such as Liberty5, Library Automation System, Open-school 2.6, School Management System, Moodle and Online Learning Management System.

By dR. CATHRYN WARREN

Arriving in PNG from the UK last September was like arriving in another world.

One of the first things to strike me was the locals with bright red stained mouths and teeth, and the need to dodge the bright red spit when walking along the pavements.

As a chemist, once I learned about the custom of chewing buai with lime and mustard, I was immediately concerned about the health implications.

At school in the UK I would need to prepare a risk-assessment for students to work with lime, and on no account would they be permitted to put it in their mouths.

When I was asked to prepare a presentation for science café on the chemistry of betel nut I was pleased to investigate the implications for health and the motivations behind chewing.

Although new to me, betel nut is actually chewed by one in ten of the world’s population, which makes it the fourth most common psychoactive substance after alcohol, caffeine and nicotine.

In spite of this, research on the health implications has been limited to mainly epidemiological studies and it is difficult to separate the effects of the three components.

Some facts, however, speak for themselves. According to the World Health Organisation, around

one in five of betel nut chewers in PNG suffer from oral diseases.

The initial disease, oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSF) is a pre-cancerous condition which results in fibrous bands, and a white marble like appearance to the inside of the mouth. Around one in ten people with OSF will go on to develop mouth cancer, and in PNG around 2000 people every year die from oral tumours related to chewing betel nut.

The active ingredients in the betel nut itself are alkaloids, copper, polyphenols, and tannins.

The alkaloids include arecoline, arecaidine, guvacine and guvacoline.

Alkaloids are nitrogen containing compounds of plant origin that have pronounced physiological actions on humans. Their production in plants appears to have evolved to deter feeding by animals, so it comes as no surprise that many of them are poisons.

Studies suggest that arecoline might cause mouth cancers by preventing DNA from repairing itself. The alkaloids have also been shown to form compounds called nitrosamines in the mouth. Nitrosamines are well known as carcinogenic (cancer causing) substances.

Copper has been shown to stimulate the enzyme which makes tissues, stimulating OSF.

Polyphenols and tannins have been shown to have antioxidant properties and promote good health. These give the bright red colour to the betel nut spit. Unfortunately when mixed with lime, even these beneficial chemicals have been shown to be dangerous, since they form reactive free radicals which can damage DNA.

The hazard data for lime tells us that it causes serious eye damage, skin irritation, respiratory irritation, and cancer if inhaled.

A study of 169 cancer patients in PNG showed that their tumours corresponded to the site of application of lime in more than three quarters of cases. Lime causes continued and rapid cell turnover by killing cells, increasing the likelihood of heritable mutations of the DNA. This is in addition to producing cancer causing free radicals on reaction with polyphenols as described above.

The evidence that chewing buai harms your health is strong. But betel nut is the fourth most important cash crop in PNG after coffee, fresh food and cocoa. More than half of rural and one fifth of urban households make money from selling it. If not betel nut then maybe tobacco, alcohol, or even harder drugs will take its place. So to chew or not to chew? The choice is yours.

THE University’s Kairak Vudal Resource Training Centre has been tasked by World Bank to deliver training to all partnerships throughout the country.

Integrated Agriculture Training Program Head Trainer Owen Ngala said under the Productive Partnerships in Agriculture Project (PPAP), the Centre has been tasked to conduct trainings on Sustainable Livelihood, Basic Record Book Keeping and Cooperative Governance to 19 partnerships throughout the country. BSP bank is also involved to deliver the Financial Management Literacy training.

Training on Sustainable Livelihood and Basic Record Book Keeping will be delivered to all technical officers andlead farmers throughout the country while the Cooperative Governance will bedelivered toofficebearersof thosepartnerships.

Mr Ngala said under Cooperative Governance, theofficebearerswillbetrained to manage those cooperatives by knowing their roles and objectives.

He said this will involve 19 partnerships throughout the country: six partnerships in East New Britain, four in Bougainville, three in New Ireland, two in East Sepik, three in Madang and one in Morobe.

Mr Ngala said the training in ENB will begin on the 10th of next month (July)

UNRE students through their Student Representative Council (SRC) plan to give back to the University before the 2017 Academic Year ends.

SRC president Florian Pai revealed this yesterday (June 29) in an interview.

He said since the lack of funding is a major problem faced in all government bodies, institutions and universities, the SRC felt that it must not rely heavily on the University but in a small way contribute to the development of the University or leave something behind for current and future students.

and is expected to end before the end of September.

The University will then proceed to Bougainville, New Ireland, ESP, MadangandfinallytoMorobe.

He elaborated further that the targeted groups for the trainings are mainly technical officers and leaderfarmers because they are the next line of trainers who will deliver the training to clusters they look after. Each technical officer is responsible

for 250 farmers. These 250 farmers are then divided into 10 groups of 25 members each which has one lead farmer looking after them.

Mr Ngala added that BSP bank

has been included in these trainings because it will prepare the participants well for the Basic Record Book Keeping training.

He said after Sustainable Livelihood training is conducted for three days, BSP will conduct Financial Management Literacy for four hours then the Basic Record Book Keeping module.

He said there are also other valuable training PPAP has organised to conduct to partnerships like Best Cocoa Management Practices, Nursery Management, HIV Aids, Cocoa Quality and Processing, Tablet training and Pesticides Safety training.

This is why the SRC is planning to hold a number of fundraising activities this year.Thefirstwasadanceheld

last weekend in Kokopo where they raised more than K4,000 (a profit of K1,500).The second activity which will take place on July 22 is a basket exchange.

Pai said for this event baskets made from coconut leaves will be packed with vegetables, food and fresh cow meat and exchanged for K100 per family or individuals. Interested staff can submit their names to SRC members.

He said the SRC’s major fundraising event will be held

at the Ralum Show Ground on Independence Day, September 16. This event will involve a flag raisingceremony, speeches and traditional singsings and live band performances.

Pai said he believed that earnings from all these fundraising events will put the SRC in a better position to maintain itself and able to contribute some precent to some areas for development suchasbuildinganewofficefor Students Support Services and SRC office, farm facilitymaintenance and the mess.

“If SRC can buy a pot for (the) students’ mess then

I think this is what little we can contribute,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kalibobo was the winner for the one week SRC Tournament held last week. The team walked away with K600 cash prize and a trophy of K400, Normils won the second prize of K400 cash and a trophy worth K200. And Natives was on the third placing and Lae Citizens on fourth. Other four teams participated were given K50.00 each as consolation prize.

The president said the SRC spent almost K3,000 to host the tournament.

As a child growing up I loved farm animals. I guess this is to be

expected being the granddaughter of a cattle farmer in the 1970s in Wau, Morobe Province. My interest in farm animals and agriculture grew from there so I chose to study at UNRE because it encourages students to be more field orientated. This I believe will benefit me after my studies. I’m in my final year of study at the university so I’m working towards graduating with my Diploma. After graduating, I’d like to do extension work with farmers on raising healthy farm animals and growing healthy crops. If I have the necessary capital and workforce, I’d like to improve my grandfather’s run-down cattle farm.

I chose UNRE because it teaches an indepth knowledge on the science of agriculture. Currently, I’m in my third year of study and my focus at this moment is to score good grades and graduate with a diploma. Hopefully if it’s God’s will I can get a degree but this is just an assumption, I’ll let God have a say in that, after all it was His plan not mine as He promised in Jeremiah 29:11. From here after completing my studies I’d like to be engaged with agriculture agencies and familiarize myself with the working environment; and later further my studies to a higher degree.

An Introduction

In this article you are introduced to some very hairy member of the orchid family. The genus is called Trichotosia. This was described as a genus by Blume in in 1825, but he changed his mind and placed it as a subgenus under Eria Lindley in 1856. The genus was reinstated by Kranzlin in the Pflanzenreich in 1911. His circumscription of the genus was too broad and included other sections of the genus Eria; this caused a few headaches among taxonomist, but the genus Trichotosia remains intact today. There are some fifty species between India and Vanuatu in the Pacific. New Guinea has around seven species. The Bougainville region has three species on record, one of which may be new. Our specimen here came from an altitude at around 900 masl but grew well on a fork of a nursery Gliricidia tree in open shade at around 90 masl. It was protected from full sun and wind and received water each day.

Description of the Genus (Plates 1 and 2 – line drawing and colour photo)

These orchids are epiphytic, and occasionally found as terrestrials. Stems are clustered, erect, pendant or porrect, long or short or pseudobulbose, usually with several internodes, sometimes branched with aerial shoots, and hairy throughout with short to long golden or red hairs on both sides of the leaves, externally on sheaths, the inflorescence its bracts and the flower buds. Leaves duplicate, usually oblong lancelate, not plicate. Inflorescence lateral, short, long or pendulous few to many flowered. Flowers resupinate, usually open wide, may also have scattered long hairs on the open face of the floral segments and their margins; se-pals free or united, with a prominent spur, greenish, cream or faintly pink, sometimes with brown, red or purple veins, labellum or lip white sometimes with a flush of pink, with low side lobes or none, with or without keels (Plates 1and 2 Below)

Cultivation Notes:

Our only personal experience has been the establishment of specimens on tree fern trunk in a plastic pot under high 60% shade cloth as well as in moderately dense shaded fork about 3m from ground level tied on with coconut fibre on to the fork. Watering was at the least once a week but often irregular and dependent on day or night time precipitation. As a novelty orchid, it has not been seen much in private collections but the hairiness of the plant, as well as the colour of the flowers of some species, such as the one illustrate, make them worthwhile growing. Protection from direct sun and wind, plus moderate moist rooting mixture appears to be a necessary part of the species suitable growing conditions.
