<p>This paper assesses the challenges that are posed to the new mining law and other Regulations that govern the mining sector in Tanzania. The main issues discussed in this paper include the conflicts between the local people and the mining companies regarding land ownership, compensation and forced eviction, conflicts between Small Scale Mining (SSM) and Large Scale Mining (LSM).</p><p>The findings obtained by the authors, intimates that the major problems in the mining sector are due to lack of law enforcement and good governance in the sector as well as lack of awareness of the laws governing the sector by the local communities.</p>Lastly, the authors concludes and recommend that, until and unless the laws are adhered to and kept into practice, the problems in the mining sector will not be easily resolved. Hence in order for the mining sector to benefit the indigenous and the investors, there should be enhancement of sustainable development;, people should be educated on the laws and the effects of mining on the environment and the relationship between SSM and LSM be improved.

The Relationship

The purpose of this paper is to report the result of a study aimed at the interrelationship between small scale indusry (SSI’s) and large scale industri (LSI’s) in Indonesia. The role of the SSI’s<br />absorbed 83,6 million workers (Bapenas, 2005) is very important but its survival could be linked with its input and its output. As Indonesia occupied by more than 300 etnics, it is very possible<br />if the SSI’s survival is linked to Indonesia cultural and art. Data were collected from around 200 companies that have linkage with almost the whole Metallurgical Industries in Indonesia both the large and the small one. System approach and multiple regression were used to analysis the relationship between the SSI’s and the LSI’s. The survival of the SSI’s and LSI’s has no different in concept, but in practice, they may not be met as the different ability to coordinate production factors. communication between them has yet to be the method for exchange information. The government’s role which previously predicted has a strong influence to this cooperation appear very weak. The study indicates that the interrelationship between the LSI’s and the SSI’s is very possible if the Indonesian economy is developed based on tourist industry. The study based on the data collected within metallurgical industry might be less representative to reflect the relationship between the LSI’s and SSI’s throughout industries. This study has contributed to develope an interrelationship between the SSI’s and the LSI’s based on sistem approach which involve the cultural environment

The Relationship

AbstractThe relationship between synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation and glacier mass balance in the Cordillera of south-western Canada is investigated. Objective synoptic typing techniques are applied to glaciometeorological data from Peyto Glacier, Alberta, and Sentinel Glacier, British Columbia, and to climatological data from nearby weather stations. Two scales of 500 mbar synoptic weather maps are analyzed and compared. One is smaller with high-wavenumber patterns, the other is larger with more general patterns.The results demonstrate that the mass balance of Peyto and Sentinel Glaciers are related to the 500 mbar patterns. Synoptic types with cyclonic curvature favor glacier accumulation, while anticyclonic types inhibit build-up of the regional snow-pack. Ablation is suppressed by synoptic types associated with cloudy days and/or low temperatures, and is enhanced by types associated with warm, sunny days. Furthermore, findings suggest that both the accumulation and ablation of Sentinel Glacier are controlled by small-scale, high-wavenumber synoptic patterns. Conversely, Peyto Glacier accumulation is more closely associated with large-scale patterns, suggesting that high-frequency mid-tropospheric oscillations embedded within the slow-moving baroclinic zones associated with long-wave disturbances may be dampened by the rough topography of the Canadian Cordillera. Ablation is predicted poorly by both scales at Peyto.

AbstractTaking the long view, this article analyzes how the expanding power of Egyptian elites, and the emergent commercial agriculture they sponsored, forever changed the rural labor practices of peasant cultivators and their relationships to environmental resources. From the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517 until the second half of the eighteenth century, Egyptian farmers initiated and oversaw the construction and repair of small-scale irrigation and other infrastructural works in their local environments. They controlled how and when their labor was used. At the end of the eighteenth century, rural labor in Egypt dramatically changed. It became coerced, required the large-scale movement of peasant laborers, resulted in enormous environmental manipulation, and was often deadly. This article thus explains how forced labor, deleterious environmental exploitation, extractive economics, and population movements emerged at the end of the eighteenth century and how they have come to characterize the relationship between work and the environment in rural Egypt from that period until today.

The Relationship

Osman Hamdi was the founding director of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts (later renamed the Istanbul Academy of Fine Arts, today part of the Mimar Sinan University). He was also the most powerful director of the Imperial Museum (today the Istanbul Archaeology Museum), an important arts legislator, the first Ottoman archaeologist, and one of the most skilful and prolific painters of the Ottoman era. Osman Hamdi’s legacy persists in his numerous small-scale portraits of his cosmopolitan family and large-scale allegorical paintings that reflect on the relationship between Ottoman identity and European Orientalist style. Often staging himself and his family members in anachronistic dress and in unlikely settings drawn from examples of early Ottoman architecture, his works offer an image of the Ottoman past replete with dignity and agency that contradicts Orientalist tropes such as laziness, violence, or lasciviousness. The complex juxtaposition of figures and objects often suggests a sharp sense of irony concerning the relationship between modernity and the past as staged through historicism offered both through the museum and through the Orientalist painting tradition. His most famous paintings include The Man with the Tortoises (1906; also known as The Tortoise Trainer) and The Sharp Side of the Sword (1908; also known as The Weapons Merchant).

The Relationship

To develop effective counterterrorism strategies, it is important to understand the capabilities and objectives of terrorist groups. Much of the understanding of these groups comes from intelligence collection and analysis of their capabilities. In contrast, the objectives of terrorists are less well understood. In this article, we describe a decision analysis methodology to identify and structure the objectives of terrorists based on the statements and writings of their leaders. This methodology was applied in three case studies, resulting in the three objectives hierarchies of al-Qaeda, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and Hezbollah. In this article, we propose a method to compare the three objectives hierarchies, highlight their key differences, and draw conclusions about effective counterterrorism strategies. We find that all three terrorist groups have a wide range of objectives going far beyond the objective of killing and terrorizing people in the non-Muslim world. Among the shared objectives are destroying Israel and expelling Western powers from the Middle East. All three groups share the ambition to become a leader in the Islamic world. Key distinctions are the territorial ambitions of ISIL and Hezbollah versus the large-scale attack objectives of al-Qaeda. Objectives specific to ISIL are the establishment of a caliphate in Iraq and Syria and the re-creation of the power of Sunni Islam. Hezbollah has unique objectives related to the establishment of a Palestine State and to maintain the relationship with and support of Iran and Syria. Al-Qaeda’s objectives remain focused on large-scale attacks in the West. We also note a recent shift to provide support for small-scale attacks in the West by both al-Qaeda and ISIL. Our method can be used for comparing objectives hierarchies of different organizations as well as for comparing objectives hierarchies over time of one organization.

The Relationship

SimCalc is an educational software and curriculum program designed to introduce students as young as middle school age to fundamental mathematical concepts—change and variation—that underpin the transition from algebra to calculus. The core underlying mathematical idea is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and through activities involving change and variation, SimCalc students acquire contextualized, networked, and collaborative experience with the relationship between derivatives and antiderivatives. The program had been guided from its birth by the late James J. Kaput, a mathematics education leader who thrived by working on the leading edge of the field. This book reports not only on the theory on which SimCalc is based but also on more than 15 years of small-scale and large-scale research on the impact of SimCalc. It also includes thoughtprovoking discussions of the ways in which the SimCalc approach relates to other work on engaging students in mathematical thinking.

The Relationship

In the absence of any reliable data, two opposing null hypotheses concerning the relationship between Acanthaster stock size and the level of recruitment tend to be assumed. First, recruitment may be assumed to be independent of stock size. This is appropriate if stocks are considered on a small scale, with most recruitment occurring externally. Second, recruitment may be assumed to be linearly related to stock size. This is appropriate if stock is considered on a large scale, so that larval production occurs from within the stock. If the potential of predators to prevent outbreaks is investigated, these two alternative hypotheses lead to diametrically opposed conclusions as to the importance of the two main parts of the predator functional response. If recruitment is independent of stock size, then the maximum prey-consumption rate of predators per unit of time is the critical factor, whereas if recruitment is linearly related to stock, then it is the searching behaviour of predators when starfish are rare that determines whether outbreaks occur. The extent of internal and external contributions to recruitment may also have profound results for the overall behaviour of Acanthaster populations, irrespective of predation. If a humped stock-recruitment relationship is assumed, together with a very high reproductive potential, then very small changes in the amount of larval interchange between reefs can transform dynamics from regular cycles to chaos and back to cycles. This means that the qualitative behaviour of starfish populations may be greatly affected by very minor variations in the amount of larval interchange between reefs.
