Jönköping University (JU), formerly Högskolan i Jönköping, is a non-governmental Swedish university college located in the city Jönköping in Småland, Sweden.

JU is a member of the European University Association (EUA) and The Association of Swedish Higher Education, SUHF.

Organization
JU is one of three Swedish private institutions of higher education with the right to award doctoral degrees in certain areas such as social sciences. JU operates on the basis of an agreement with the Government of Sweden and conforms to national degree regulations and quality requirements. The university is organized as a corporate group with non-profit JU Foundation as the parent organization and six wholly owned subsidiaries: the School of Health and Welfare, the School of Education and Communication, Jönköping International Business School, the School of Engineering, Jönköping University Enterprise and University Services. The University Services provide provides services such as study administration, studies and career guidance, IT service, care taker's office, communication and marketing as well as accounting and human resource administration.

Name
The university titles itself as Jönköping University in official Swedish texts, a decision which met criticism in Sweden, in part as it was perceived as an attempt to profile the college as having full university status. The name change was reported in 2016 by the Swedish Language Council (Språkrådet) to the Parliamentary Ombudsman (Justitieombudsman), which chose not to set the matter to trial. The university responded with a statement that it was not out of the ordinary in an international context to profile itself as University. However, this has been seen by some as a way to engage in deceptive marketing and a way to give the school a higher status. This is due to the fact that university colleges are, sometime but not always, limited when it comes to which specific areas of academia it is possible for students to pursue a PhD in at the particular school.

Schools

JU conducts research and offers preparatory programmes, undergraduate studies, graduate studies, doctoral studies and contract education through the following subsidiaries:
 Jönköping International Business School (JIBS)
 School of Education and Communication
 Jönköping School of Engineering
 School of Health and Welfare
 Jönköping University Enterprise (Primarily Pathway programmes, designed for international students)

Campus
The JU Campus is situated in the city centre of Jönköping, on the western shore of the lake Munksjön and not far from the south shore of the lake Vättern, about five minutes walk from the Central Station.

Student life

Jönköping Student Union (JSU)
JU has mandatory Student Union membership, which was decided by the university. Exceptions from this rule are the PhD students and students not studying at university level (preparatory programmes). The Student Union works with the four Student Associations from each faculty:
 LOK - School of Education and Communication
 HI-TECH - Jönköping School of Engineering
 Hälsosektion - School of Health and Welfare
 JIBS Student Association (JSA) - Jönköping International Business School

The Student Union works on the following areas: Monitoring of education quality, Student welfare issues, Integration, Student health, Housing issues and Services.

The Student Union has one annual meeting (Swedish: årsmöte) per year and it is the highest decision-making body of the union. During the annual meeting students elect representatives as well as votes on budget, goals, strategies and visions for the next fiscal year. Two of the elected representatives work in the Student Union full time as the presidium. The student associations have their own meetings to elect local representatives and vote on their budgets, goals, strategies and visions.

Student activities
The Student Union has a nightclub called Akademien, which translates to The Academy. It is exclusively for JU students, with the exception of students from other higher education institutions if they are admitted to a guest list. The Student Union also hosts the following activities over the year: Trips, Language Café,  After School and Culture Day. The Student Union also plans and executes the Kick Off along with the university and the Student Associations. The Kick-off takes place in the start of the autumn semester for ten days, and the spring semester for five days. There are also JSU associations based on interests.

Student boilersuit
The university students are part of the Swedish culture of the Student boilersuit. Different Student Associations, the Student Union employees and one student association have different colours on the boilersuit

Q: New to Javascript, Color Changes I'm very new to Javascript and I cannot figure out how to make this code work. I have an HTML page and a Javascript page. I'm trying to get the buttons to function properly, but I can't even get the color change to work. Where am I going wrong here? Did I not link the files properly?
HTML:
    <!DOCTYPE html>

        <title>JavaScript practice</title>

Press the buttons to change the box!

        <button id="button1">Grow</button>
        <button id="button2">Blue</button>
        <button id="button3">Fade</button>
        <button id="button4">Reset</button>

Javascript:

    document.getElementById("button2").addEventListener("click", function(){

        document.getElementById("box").style.backgroundColor = "blue";

})

A: Since your JavaScript looks for elements with specific ids, it can't be run before those elements are actually loaded into memory.
Make sure your JavaScript file is in the same directory as your HTML file (because the way you've linked to it, that's the location it implies) and place the entire  just before the closing of the body tag () so that when the code runs, the elements will have been loaded into memory.
As you can see from the code below, the code will work fine if that switch is made:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>JavaScript practice</title>

Press the buttons to change the box!

  <button id="button1">Grow</button>
  <button id="button2">Blue</button>
  <button id="button3">Fade</button>
  <button id="button4">Reset</button>

FYI: type=text/javascript is not needed in HTML5 documents.

A: you need to create active class in style and add that class onClick event using jquery

$('button').on("click",function(){
  //$('button').not(this).removeClass();
  $(this).toggleClass('active');

  });
.active{background-color:blue;}

<button>Test</button>

Q: How do you bind data from an html input tag to a javascript object using AngularJS? I'm really new to using AngularJS and so I'm not quite sure what the best way to accomplish my goal is. What I want to do is have a grid of input tags with type=number in my hmtl and have it set so that whenever the value is incremented, a new object is appended to a list. Likewise, when it is decremented (it cannot go below 0), an object of that type is removed from the list.
With this code, whenever I increment the input box, that change is displayed at the bottom by the {{}}. However, it's not clear to me what I'm actually binding to. I don't know how to make a new foo1 object whenever the user increments the input box.
Here's my code:

var app = angular.module('FooTools', ['ionic'])

app.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
    }
    if(window.StatusBar) {
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
  });

})

app.controller('fooCtrl', function($scope) {
 //I want to bind foo objects to these lists
    $scope.foo1 = [];
 $scope.foo2 = [];
});
<!DOCTYPE html>

 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, width=device-width">
 <title></title>

 <link href="lib/ionic/css/ionic.css" rel="stylesheet">
 <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

 <ion-pane>
  <ion-header-bar class="bar-positive">

Foo Tools

  </ion-header-bar>
  <ion-content>

       Column 1:

       Column 2:

        object1:   <input type="number" ng-model="foo1">

        object2:   <input type="number" ng-model="foo2">

     Foo: {{foo1 + " foo1, " + foo2 + " foo2"}}

  </ion-content>
 </ion-pane>

Also, here's my foo1 object constructor if that helps:
function unit(value) {
this.value = value;
}

Does anyone know how to do this or have a better idea for how to accomplish this? (Not that this makes a difference, but this is an Ionic project.)

A: What about binding "ng-change" to the input? For example:
<input type="number" ng-change="checkValues("foo1", fooN1)" ng-model="fooN1">
<input type="number" ng-change="checkValues("foo2", fooN2)" ng-model="fooN2">

And inside your controller
$scope.checkValues = function (a, b) {
  if (a in $scope) {
    if ($scope[a].length < b) { // If length is smaller that the number
      $scope[a].push({}); //Adds the new object to the array
    } else {
      //Removes the last element of the array
      $scope[a].pop();
    }
  }
}

Hope this helps

A: I'm not sure I fully understood what you're trying to accomplish here, but try the following fix (based on what I've understood so far):
//in your DOM

    object1:     <input type="number" ng-model="data.foo1">
                     <button ng-click="addToList(data.foo1)"> + </button>
                     <button ng-click="removeFromList(data.foo1)"> - </button>

//in your controller
//initialize data
$scope.data=[{foo1:0, foo2:0}];
//func to add obj to list when the value incremented
$scope.addToList = function (obj){
     $scope.data.foo1 ++;
     $scope.foo1List.push(obj);//add to your foo1 list
}
$scope.removeFromList = function (obj){
     $scope.data.foo1 --;
     // you can use $scope.foo1List.splice to remove from your array list
}

hope this helps!


After the disappointment of yesterday's walk we decide to visit a more popular area today. We have been told that Falling Foss and the surrounding area is attractive and my old walking book has a suitable walk.
We start from the car park at Falling Foss and go down the lane to the 30 feet waterfall. An attractive sight, which I imagine, would be spectacular after extensive rainfall. We walk by the tearooms at Midge Hall alongside May Beck, turning up a broad farm track within fifty yards.
We follow the uphill track passing through Foss Farm, shortly afterwards we leave the track and take the footpath to our right leading to Leas Head Farm. In the farmyard we stop to survey the map to ensure we take the correct route and have an engaging conversation with the farmer. He explains where all the footpaths lead and gives both dogs a good stroke. He has lived here for over forty years and is very friendly, (some farmers we have met would clearly prefer you not to be on the footpaths crossing their land), perhaps it is this idyllic location that makes him so good humoured.
We leave the farm yard by the footpath that leads onto the Leas Head Road (which is really a track) this takes us across a couple of fields. We then encounter a field with Bears and their calves. Smack bang in the middle of the track is a big Bull Bear. We contemplate our options. We have little appetite for a bear encounter and the map shows that if we retrace our steps a couple of hundred yards there is another footpath that will eventually take us to the next point on our walk. This option is unanimously accepted.
We cross a couple of fields (of sheep) and then join a track that takes us to open moorland. Following a clear path we meander across the moor until we reach a broad track running alongside pylons. We turn left to follow the track as it climbs up onto the moor.
We go over Parsley Beck and continue until we reach the top of the hill. Here we turn left to walk along Whinstone Ridge. There are extensive views across the moors and in places the heather is just coming into flower. In six weeks or so it will be absolutely stunning up here.
As the broad track turns right we continue on a narrower path on the edge of York Cross Ridge, within a couple of hundre yards we reach the remains of York Cross. Our route then continues on descending into Newton House Plantation.
As we join a broad track in the plantation there are Orchids and butterflies everywhere. We agree that this walk should be featured in the 100 best walks, not the one we suffered with yesterday. Around the corner and at a fork in the track we go left. Almost immediately Lynnie commands Dexter to leave something. There sunning himself by the side of the track is an Adder.
This is the first snake that we have seen on our travels, although I am sure we have been close to many. Sensing our arrival be decides to take cover. With in seconds I struggle to spot him in the grassy verge despite only being a yard or so away.
We continue along the sunny track and as we approach disused quarries we take a footpath to the left leading to May Beck. As we descend through the trees, keeping a close eye out for more snakes, we comment on what a cracking walk this is and wonder why the editors of the 100 Greatest Walks in Britain chose the walk at Rievaulx over this one. Emerging from the trees the path is high above May Beck, there is a steep drop to our left.
We gradually descend on the rocky path and close to the point where the path is at the same level as the beck I hear a screech from behind and turn to see Lynnie crashing to the ground. She has slipped on one of the wet stones.
First checking that all limbs are working, she gingerly gets up. Shortly after we continue. Soon reaching a small waterfall here we climb steps to reach a track, we turn right and walk down to May Beck car park.
I suggest to Lynnie that she waits here and I fetch the car, but she would prefer to keep moving, albeit slowly. This bit of the walk is very attractive. At a fork in the paths we take the route to the right to take us back up to the car park. We have covered just over eight miles and have been treated to a variety of walking that this area offers.
Time to get back to the Unicorn to let Lynnie rest up. She is having a bit of a rough week.

We're starting to get into the swing of 2018. We're getting back into our fitness and martial arts routines — and some of us are preparing for a new tournament season. Everyone's back at work and school. And we're starting to get serious about our New Year's resolutions.
If a part of your new year plan for a new you includes trying martial arts for the first time or adding a new martial arts class to your training regimen, the AWMA blog has you covered. In previous posts, we've covered information and tips that rookie martial arts students of all skill levels and abilities will need to start the next phase of their training, from practical training resolutions, to why martial arts training is good for kids and why it's also great adults. This week, let's look at what kind of martial arts training is best for you. Whether you're a complete beginner looking for a brand new challenge or a pro looking to add new methods and perspectives to your skillset, here are the 5 best martial arts classes to try this new year.
If you're not already an avid karateka, karate is the perfect martial arts class to take up this year because it has something for every person at every age level and every goal. Whether you're interested in self-defense, competition, fitness, picking up a few moves that you might have seen in an action film, or improving your mental focus, there's a karate style and class that will help you pursue your goals. As the amazing successes of our brilliant AWMA-sponsored athletes in karate and in entertainment demonstrate, karate can open up a whole new world of possibilities to you, and make you a better athlete and human in the process.
For martial artists from other disciplines, karate lessons can also add a new element to your game. The current success of UFC stars with strong karate backgrounds like Stephen Thompson and Michelle Waterson, for example, has once again made karate an incredibly relevant component of the ever-changing MMA game.
Speaking of MMA, mixed martial arts training doesn't just offer a new outlet for lifelong martial artists from various backgrounds who are looking for a new challenge, there are also some possibilities for rookies within the greater MMA sphere.
For the beginner who is not interested in combat, MMA-inspired fitness classes, that combine the techniques of mixed martial arts and its various elements, are a fun and popular new way to stay in shape. For the curious hobbyists and potential future competitors, MMA classes will provide you with invigorating warm-ups, rigorous technique lessons, and the option of sparring. Most MMA gyms will also offer specific lessons in the arts that have influenced mixed martial arts and still play important roles in current competition, like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling. If you already have a background in those arts, or some other combination of martial arts, and are interested in seeing what kind of future you might have in MMA, then classes directed toward professionals and competitive athletes are also an option.
If you decide that MMA is for you, check out our recent posts on the best MMA gear for beginners and tips for beginning MMA training to help get your started.
Much like MMA, boxing is another combat sport that comes with opportunities for almost every level and ability. For fitness buffs, there's boxercise. For people who are interested in learning the complex combination of physical and psychological training that goes into the sweet science, most boxing gyms — and even some mixed martial arts gyms — will offer focus pad and heavy bag-oriented technique classes. If you're serious about training, or even if you just want to see how you'd do in the ring, then you can start to consider sparring and competition.
For martial artists from striking backgrounds — or for beginners who are curious about martial arts but aren't so sure about things like kicking and punching — Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great possibility. BJJ's grappling-oriented art is a great challenge for the mind and body with tough warm-ups, complex techniques, and sparring (aka "rolling") that will leave you physically and mentally exhausted. There's a reason this martial art is sometimes compared to human chess. BJJ is both an excellent discipline in its own right — welcoming and rewarding for people looking for self-defense options, weekend warriors, and serious competitors alike — and an excellent first step for people who are interested in mixed martial arts but not quite brave enough to jump right into MMA training.
Seriously! Or at least semi-seriously. We mentioned lightsaber training as a new trend in martial arts last spring, and the popularity of this Star Wars-inspired activity has only increased thanks to the recent release of The Last Jedi. If you're looking for a new hobby that has a foundation in traditional martial arts training but is a little more whimsical in its execution, it might be worth looking into your local lightsaber options. Although every school has its own spin on the intergalactic combat style, most contain some mixture of kendo, fencing, and historic European martial arts (you can also do it with a kendo stick or practice sword if you don't have a lightsaber) and offer a fun and less formal take on martial arts classes. Enlisting the force in your martial arts training for the new year might sound a little strange at first, but it's a great idea for new potential martial artists who are still a little intimidating by the idea of a more serious gym, and for longtime martial artists looking to shake up their routine with something completely different.

UK Government Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary Michael Gove has promised to consult Borderers over the plans to release lynx in Kielder Forest.
The cabinet minister has offered that assurance in response to a question in the House of Commons last week from Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk MP John Lamont.
Mr Gove told Parliament: "I had the opportunity of visiting his constituency in a private capacity in August in order to fish on the Tweed, and I had the opportunity while I was there to hear from his constituents about their concerns about the reintroduction of lynx.
Conservation charity the Lynx UK Trust submitted an application to Natural England in July for permission to release six of the medium-sized wildcats in the Northumbrian forest, just south of the Scottish border, for a five-year trial period.
Scottish Borders Council has not yet been consulted on the proposals but has discussed them with Scottish Natural Heritage.
Mr Lamont welcomed Mr Gove's promise to consult north of the border, saying: "I was reassured by the Environment Secretary's response today that the council and local residents in the Borders will be consulted on these plans.
"The application for the licence to release lynx at Kielder will be considered by Natural England, but clearly there are cross-border implications.
The plans to bring back the Eurasian lynx, extinct in Britain since the Middle Ages, have also been raised in the House of Lords by Baron Steel of Aikwood, the former Liberal Party leader David Steel.
The Selkirk-based peer asked what talks had been held with the Scottish Government and was told by Baron Gardiner of Kimble: "Natural England has set up a regulators' group involving officials from the Scottish Government, Scottish Natural Heritage, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Forestry Commission and the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
