This article offers silences to make deliberative democracy more inclusive and diverse. Considering deliberation broadly as conversation, I advance the argument that silence may be the missing link in our democratic theories: that some silences are packed full of meaning, others can be used as temporary tactics for bringing more meaningful voices to the table, and that silent yielding is the most crucial practice for a robust democratic world. Inclusion involves at least two important dimensions. First, excluded subjects must be brought, allowed, welcomed, and embraced to democratic conversations. Excluded voices must become present. Second, and this is the more difficult dimension, exclusionary identities must be transformed in the process. Simply including more voices and meanings does little if there are structural forces that preclude the rearrangement of democratic possibilities. One such structural force is privileged identities that, by their character, are unlikely to hear and be transformed. In this regard, I put forth silent yielding as an enduring democratic habit that, if practiced sincerely, is likely to transform such identities, and transition thin democracies (ones in which citizens participate in order to simply fight for their own self-interests) into strong democracies (ones in which all citizens are welcomed to the table, and all leave the table transformed in the direction of the common). Deliberate silences combine intentionality, meaningfulness, thoughtful engagement, and robust commitment to inclusion, in order to make deliberative democracy more democratic and transformative.

Inspired by the Citizens Initiative Review Process in Oregon, Healthy Democracy, and the Living Voters Guide, this paper proposes that undergraduate educators should teach, practice, and perform deliberative democracy in the classroom. This paper will identify deliberation as a tool for resolving difficulties in current democratic practices and propose a specific classroom activity to teach deliberative skills. The sample undergraduate activity involves student research, local political leaders coming to speak and answer questions, and in-class deliberations. Using survey data collected from the students/participants, it was found that the activity had positive learning outcomes for students. Students reported feeling more knowledgeable and informed about the democratic process the ballot measure on which students deliberated (Missouri’s Proposition E from the 2012 election). Results also suggest that this activity allowed for students to learn about and gain confidence in argumentation, advocacy, deliberation, and democracy.

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in studies reporting findings from a variety of deliberative citizen forums. Such studies help to develop our understanding of deliberative democracy by exploring changes in opinion and knowledge as well as - more recently - the quality of the deliberative process itself. However, most deliberative forums are organized on an ad hoc basis, making it hard to judge how generalizable the findings from such forums actually are. This article attempts to address this problem by comparing the findings on the quality of deliberation from four different citizen forums. Based on the findings citizen deliberation is generally very respectful, while argumentation is less refined than among elected representatives. The cases included in this study also suggest that women and those with lower education have less influence in the deliberative process.

The rulemaking process through which higher education regulatory policy is created in the U.S. Department of Education has received critical attention in recent years. One concern is that this important policymaking process takes place in an agency of unelected officials, sometimes with the help of select interest groups. How, then, does this process maintain its democratic legitimacy? An important aspect of the process – known as negotiated rulemaking – may help to promote democratic legitimacy through open deliberations and broad stakeholder participation. Through the lens of deliberative democratic theory, this article draws on dozens of interviews and documentary data regarding a number of higher education regulations to analyze the ways in which negotiated rulemaking for U.S. higher education regulatory policy reflects (and does not reflect) aspects of deliberative democracy.

This study tries to explore various aspects of People analytics and how it impacts the functioning and performance of PepsiCo. Human resource (HR) analytics has attracted significant attention worldwide as HR profession is involved in making highly important decision which rely upon data and help in strategy realization. This paper defines the concept of People analytics based on the literature review and offers an understanding of the role it is currently playing in any organization. The Case of PepsiCo reveals various strategies adopted for implementing People Analytics and how it changed all the real-life business cases and continue to improve its performance via HR analytics practice. In addition to this, HR Analytics at PepsiCo has well identified the most effective way of practicing HR with better performance.

Residual straw affects the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of soil and can influence plant transpiration and the evaporation of water from the soil. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effect of straw on evaporation and transpiration of sugarcane. The experiment was conducted in a 2.5 ha area irrigated via a central pivot. The experiment consisted of two treatments, namely, with and without straw removal of soil. Evaporation was determined by means of equations and transpiration with sap flow sensors using the heat balance method. Evapotranspiration of the crop was measured using the Bowen ratio method and compared with the sum of the collected soil evaporation and transpiration data. On the basis of relationship analysis between the evapotranspiration of the crop measured using the Bowen ratio method and the sum of the sap flow combined with estimates of the evaporation of soil water, we obtained coefficient of determination values of 0.65 and 0.69, and angular coefficients of 1.01 and 0.96 for treatments with and without straw, respectively. We accordingly found that the use of straw on the soil reduces the evaporation of soil water and increases the transpiration and evapotranspiration of the crop.
