Abstract The study focused analyzing the determinants of honey supply, to analyze the economy of beekeeping, honey marketing and income generating activities undertaken in Horo Guduru wollega zone of Oromia Region, Ethipia. About 121 honey producers (110 male & 11 female) were selected randomly from a list of 536 honey producers found in 5 purposively selected ‘kebeles’. The data were generated by individual interview and group discussions using pre-tested semi structured questionnaires and checklists. Secondary data were collected from different published and unpublished sources. The data collected were analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics and econometric model (multiple linear regression model). The results obtained from econometric analysis indicates that colony size, type of beehives used, beekeeping equipment, market information, current honey price, frequency of extension contact per year and trainings were positively and significantly affected honey supply. Of course, some opportunities have also been indicated like availability of bee colony, favorable environment, and annual flora and farmers’ experiences. To boost the economy of beekeeping and honey marketing which in turn increase producers income from honey supply, all concerned bodies need to focus on building farmers capacity via training on improving honey production and supply, increasing access to improved beehives and its accessories, availing extension facilities, improving road facility, organizing honey producers to increase the volume, access to marketing and price setting, and establishing honey market center are recommended for policy intervention.

Analisis terhadap perkembangan nilai Indeks Kesejahteraan Masyarakat Kelautan dan Perikanan (IKMKP) telah dilakukan sejak tahun 2014 sampai 2016. Permasalahan penentuan tingkat kesejahteraan dengan menyusun indikator yang mengarahkan pada pembangunan sektor kelautan dan perikanan secara sektoral dan menjadi wewenang Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP) adalah penting. Tujuan penulisan makalah ini untuk melihat kinerja pembangunan kelautan dan perikanan dilihat dari indikator kesejahteraan masyarakat pelaku usaha perikanan. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode desk study. Data terdiri data sekunder yang meliputi data ekonomi dan sosial kelembagaan yang dikumpulkan dan diperoleh dari Eselon 1 lingkup KKP. Verifikasi data dilakukan melalui diskusi kelompok terfokus yang dihadiri oleh pengambil kebijakan di Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP). Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai Indeks Kesejahteraan Masyarakat Kelautan dan Perikanan (IKMKP) tahun 2016 sebesar 48,33. Nilai dimensi sosial dan kelembagaan sebesar 43,31 dan nilai dimensi ekonomi sebesar 43,27. Daerah yang memiliki Nilai IKMKP terbesar yaitu Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat dengan nilai sebesar 100. Sementara itu, daerah yang memiliki nilai IKMKP paling kecil yaitu Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah dengan nilai sebesar 0,00. Hasil tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa program-program pemerintah yang telah dialokasikan di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat telah memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan dan sebaliknya untuk Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah masih belum memberikan dampak terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraaanya. Adapun dari analisa faktor penimbang, peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat kelautan dan perikanan akan lebih efektif jika semakin banyak jumlah Lembaga Ketahanan Masyarakat (LKM) yang terfasilitasi permodalan dan tidak terjadi perubahan komposisi pada struktur ongkos usaha perikanan.Title: Analysis of The Development Marine and Fisheries Welfare  Community Index (IKMKP) Analysis of the development of Marine and Fisheries Community Welfare Index (IKMKP) has been carried out since 2014 until 2016.  It is important to determine the welfare level by formulating indicators to the development of the marine and fisheries sector through Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF). The purpose of this paper is to measure the performance of marine and fisheries development based on fisheries businessmen welfare indicators. The research used desk study method and secondary data of economic and social institutional which are collected from Echelon-1 of MMAF. Data were verified in focus group discussions among policy makers of MMAF and were analyzed using quantitative descriptive approach. The results showed that Marine and Fisheries Community Welfare Index (IKMKP) value in 2016 was 48.33. The value of social and institutional dimensions is 43.31 and value of economic dimension is 43.27. Regions that have the highest IKMKP value is West Nusa Tenggara Province with a value of 100. Meanwhile, Central Kalimantan Province has the lowest IKMKP value of 0.00. These results indicate that government programs has contributed to the improvement of welfare in West Nusa Tenggara Province, meanwhile, it has not contributed to the welfare in Central Kalimantan Province.

Domestic violence cuts cross all age groups and globally, between 10% and 69% of women report of having been physically assaulted by their sexual partner at least once in their life. Furthermore, between 6% and 47% of adult women report of having been sexually assaulted by their sexual partners while between 7% and 48% of girls and young women at least reported their first sexual episode to have been forced. Understanding of domestic violence issues and integrating them in the current treatment regimens is critical for success of treatment regimens of the above 50 years PLWH as domestic violence is blamed to hamper adherence to ARVS and ART, condom use among others. Hence the main objective of the study was to find out factors associated with domestic violence among the 50 years and above population living with HIV/AIDS, making a case study of Mukono hospital patients. Specifically the study intended to establish the individual/background factors associated with domestic violence among the above 50 years population living with HIV/AIDS, define the socio-economic factors associated with domestic violence and find the influence of substance abuse associated with domestic violence among the 50 years and above population living with HIV/AIDS. The study adopted a descriptive cross sectional survey that employed both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques that was supported by both primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected from the 50 years and above PLWH attending CoU Mukono hospital and from CoU Mukono hospital selected key informants, while secondary data was captured from CoU Mukono hospital records. The study used focus group discussions to capture qualitative data were different focus group discussions for male and female respondents were organized. Quantitative data was captured through use of questionnaires which were interviewer administered. The study targeted a sample of 263 respondents which was calculated using a Kish and Leslie formula and generated by use of simple random numbers that were assigned to study units following the inclusion and exclusion criteria that held that study participants had to be above 50 years, on ART and able to speak Luganda or English fluently. Only 196 respondents were studied as 67 questionnaires had errors. Domestic violence was measured on a standard HITS scale and a score greater than 10 was positive and indicated domestic violence while a score less than 10 was negative and indicated that a participant had not suffered domestic violence hence domestic violence was measured as a binary outcome. The study held domestic violence as a dependent variable and predictors of domestic violence like individual/ background factors, social economic factors like occupation and alcohol abuse as independent factors. A binary logistic regression was fitted against variables to test for their associations with domestic violence at both bivariate and multivariate level that a backward elimination method was used to determine variables that were significantly associated with domestic violence at multivariate level using a 95% CI. The study found that alcohol consumption was a risk factor to domestic violence and findings are in line with Canadian Panel on violence against women, 1993. Study findings associate domestic violence with having arguments over sex which is in line with Rani et al., 2004; World’s women and Girl’s data sheet 2011. The study recommended that there is need to promote interventions that limit alcohol consumption among patients as heavy alcohol consumption is associated with domestic violence that affects the treatment regimens of the 50 years and above.

The problem of the High Social Gap in Papua which is the cause of marginalization and discrimination against the Papuan people, as well as the different perceptions of some Indonesians at home and abroad towards armed separatist conflicts are push factors to corner the Indonesian government. In addition, the issue of internationalization of the 1969 referendum mechanism, violations of Human Rights (HAM), and the management of Natural Resources (SDA) by multinational companies that do not have an impact on improving the welfare of the Papuan people also complement the government's opinion of failure. Against the background of these problems, this study uses a quasi-qualitative research method and an exploratory approach with soft systems methodology (SSM) as a data analysis technique to answer the formulation of the problem and research questions. Research data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), in-depth interviews, and direct discussions with various informants (academics, practitioners, bureaucracy, and community leaders), plus a literature review as secondary data. The results of this study recommend the development of an Integrated Food Estate (IFE) in stages according to customary areas in Papua, which will indirectly support the realization of Territorial Resilience and the Universal Defense System (Sishta). Furthermore, to ensure that all these processes are carried out properly and continuously, this study recommends the establishment of an Integrated Solution Center (ISC). With the implementation of these recommendations, it is hoped that the peaceful and prosperous Papuan people will soon be realized.

Co-management of common property aquatic habitats are increasingly implemented with a view to increasing fish production, ensuring fishers’ rights and to conserve biodiversity. This study investigates the current status and identifies barriers to fisheries management in an oxbow lake (baor) at Jessore district, Bangladesh. Using interviews, focus group discussions and secondary data, this study revealed that both capture and culture fisheries are practised at the same time at the same water-body. As the wetland was used solely for capture fisheries before, the introduction of aquaculture practice has increased the total fish production and income for some people. However, it has reduced the access to poor fishers and fish biodiversity. Particularly the biodiversity of Channa sp, Puntius sp, Mastacembelus sp, Mystus sp, and Colisa fasciatus has been reduced. A range of climatic, institutional, economic and social barriers have facilitated the reduced access of poor fishers and biodiversity. To overcome the barriers and ensure sustainable management of the baor this study proposes to implement a fair leasing system, increase financial and human resources together with an ecosystem-based approach to baor management.

Beekeeping sector plays an essential role in agriculture for two main reasons: the process of pollination and the production of honey and other apicultural products. The aim of the paper was to analyse and compare beekeeping sectors between Slovakia and Romania in terms of honey production, market competitiveness and EU funding budget allocation. The secondary data used in the analysis were provided by European Commission reports, the Romanian Institute of Statistics, Slovak statistics, Central Register of Hives in Slovakia, Faostat and Trademap. The competitiveness in honey market was calculated using RCA indices and the Michaely index. Results show that the number of hives as well as honey production increased, while market competitiveness decreased. In conclusion, national beekeeping programmes provide financial support for beekeepers and foster the whole sector, therefore the European Union should continue implementing these programmes to stabilize this sector and increase production capacities in both countries.
