Jute is an important fibre crop in Assam in terms its economic and social relevance. Assam is the third largest jute producing state in India after West-Bengal and Bihar. Large amount of jute cultivation takes place in the rural and riverine areas of Assam since British colonisation. Based on the availability of raw material and entrepreneurial supports initiated by the National Jute Board (NJB), women entrepreneurship in the jute industry have grown-up in the last two decades. Rural women primarily produce various decorative handicraft and handloom products which are getting wider acceptance in the regional and national markets. Growing environmental awareness and effort to replace polypropylene among environment conscious consumer has created opportunities for the entrepreneurs of the jute industry because of the inherent ecological attributes of this natural fibre. This paper is an attempt to analyse the contemporary scenario of women entrepreneurship in the jute industry of Assam. Production process, marketing practices as well as the constraints are also taken into consideration in the study. The paper is based on both primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected from 120 women engaged in the process of jute crafts selected through snowball sampling procedure. It is found that, scarcity of time due to family and social responsibilities act as a major hindrance in the process of jute entrepreneurship. However, marketing practices are less troublesome then the production process. The study suggest for ensuring uninterrupted supply of fibre and other inputs to undertake production as a full economic activity among the women entrepreneur.

Os papéis sociais representados por homens e mulheres se refletem sobre os usos linguísticos. Tais usos diferenciam-se, também, nas construções linguísticas como a “solidariedade”, concordância, entre o sujeito e o núcleo de predicado. Para fundamentar nosso estudo, fizemos uma análise comparativa entre grupos de falantes do sexo masculino e feminino de três comunidades linguísticas do português popular do Brasil, todas situadas no interior da Bahia, mais precisamente na Região Sudoeste do Estado. Os dados de nossa pesquisa nos levam a crer que os homens tendem a empregar formas inovadoras na comunidade de fala em maior frequência do que as mulheres por causa do seu maior contato e circulação nos espaços sociais.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Concordância. Variação linguística. Português popular.ABSTRACT The roles played by men and women reflect on the uses of linguistic structures. Those uses differ also in grammar structures such as “solidarity”, agreement, between the subject and predicate. In support of our study, we made a comparative analysis between groups of speakers male and female in three linguistic communities of popular Portuguese in Brazil, all located in Bahia, more precisely in the Southwest Region of the state. The data of our study lead us to believe that men tend to employ innovative forms of speech in the community more often than women, because of their greater contact with other social groups and movement in social spaces.KEYWORDS: Agreement. Linguistic variation. Portuguese popular.

The article deals with A. Bushkovsky’s novel Rymba that goes beyond the topics typical of Russian North prose. Rather than limiting himself to admiring nature and Russian character, the author portrays the northern Russian village of Rymba in the larger context of the country’s mentality, history, mythology, and gender politics. In the novel, myth clashes with reality, history with the present day, and an individual with the state. The critic draws a comparison between the novel and the traditions of village prose and Russian North prose. In particular, Bushkovsky’s Rymba is discussed alongside V. Rasputin’s Farewell to Matyora [ Proshchanie s Matyoroy ] and R. Senchin’s The Flood Zone [ Zona zatopleniya ]. The novel’s central question is: what keeps the Russian world afloat? Depicting the Christian faith as such a bulwark, Bushkovsky links atheism with the social and spiritual roles played by contemporary men and women. The critic argues, however, that the reliance on Christianity in the novel verges on an affectation. The book’s main symbol is a drowning hawk: it perishes despite people’s efforts to save it.
