Opening ParagraphLike most southern Ghanian populations, the Abutia Ewe – one of the numerous ‘village leagues’ which compose the northern part of Eweland (Volta region)– have experienced far-reaching transformations in the last century, and nowhere more radically than in their matrimonial practices. In this article, I wish to concentrate on two aspects of these practices, namely the definition of marriage and the incidence of divorce.Indeed, an adequate analysis of divorce requires some heuristic tools which enable us to decide whether particular couples are ‘married’ or not, a procedure made extremely difficult in the case of Abutia because of the changes in their definition of marriage. In the first part of the article, I shall briefly survey these changes and discuss the definitional problems they raise and, in the second, present the main findings of a quantitative survey which helps to measure the impact of the changes discussed. It also reveals that divorce was in fact common before 1890, when German colonial rule was imposed. In the third and last part I seek to explain this marital instability in ‘pre-colonial’ Abutia.

The Third World

Opening ParagraphIt is perhaps surprising that the recent resurgence of interest in the application of Marxist theory to the study of the historically non-capitalist societies of the Third World should have focused, at least in part, upon the stateless societies of Africa. To some extent, this interest in some of the least differentiated and least class-stratified of societies can be related to the fundamental problematic of Marxist sociology: the characterization of the stage of advanced communism, which remains so obscure in Marx's own theoretical work. An understanding of the dynamics of ‘primitive’ communism might be seen, therefore, as an essential precursor to this underlying concern. Certainly, the often highly tendentious views of Marxist writers on such issues as the definition of the state and the extent of exploitation in the primitive communist mode can be related to this need. However, the rise of Marxist anthropology has not only been presented as a problem of general evolutionary theory. Other influences have been offered to account for the new concern, the most widely cited being the supposed crisis of functionalism, and the resulting necessity for a complete reorientation of the whole discipline of anthropology. Stateless societies, having long occupied a central place in the field of anthropological enquiry, and yet outwardly presenting such simplicity of form, offer a particular challenge to the radical, and in several recent works have been interpreted in what is claimed to be a novel and distinctive way.

The questions addressed are : what do we know, in the current state of knowledge, happiness, and its importance for human development, global and individual ? Can you outline a general approach ? How this approach is essential to determine our goals, social and individual ? To answer these questions the methodology of this article consists, firstly, to present the main empirical results on the subject. Many databases have emerged : the NBB, the World Database of Happiness, IBM, HDI and many others. Investigations have provided the opportunity to work on large amounts of data on the level of happiness felt by the population, and its causes. They complement, but lead ultimately to results often close. The second part analyzes the relevance and limitations of these investigations, in order to more precisely the emergence of a definition of happiness and its components. The purpose of the third part is to define the economic significance of these results. Indeed, many economic theories are based on a vision of happiness underlying, whatsoever for example in the calculation of individual productivity (efficiency wage theory), or in determining the choice (bounded rationality)… We conclude this work by a simple model of the impact of happiness in our choices.

The study aimed at show the impact of poverty and unemployment in the threat of members of society, by discussing the concept of unemployment, and following the verses of the Qur'an and Sunah in addressing the unemployment crisis as one of the most important threats to society and showing ways to remedy it, and that the problem of unemployment is one of the global economic problems facing societies and has repercussions on life and all its aspects, and based on the spread of the unemployment crisis in our time, the researcher addressed the topic of "unemployment crisis and ways to remedy it from an Islamic perspective" , where the first topic was about" The definition of unemployment in the language and terminology", the second topic: " unemployment causes and types in Islam", the third topic: " Islam's view of unemployment and the importance of work", and the fourth topic: Islam's attitude on unemployment and ways to handle it. The last topic, the researcher explained the results and the effects of the unemployment crisis on the individual and society, and she depended on inductive and inferential method in showing and solving this problem through adherence to the divine approach in its treatment, and find ways to reduce its prevalence. The researcher came up with the most important recommendations. The research recommended the need for the state to adopt the idea of small enterprises and handicrafts that contribute solve unemployment and maintain social security among the segments of society, asking sharia to master the work regardless of its nature because of the serious negative effects of unemployment on the Muslim community Some of the most important results of the research are as follows - The spread of unemployment and poverty among segments of society increases crime and delinquency among members of society. - Spreading awareness of the importance of zakat as it is an essential pillar of Islam, and taking care of its performance to fight unemployment. - Spreading awareness of the importance of work regardless of its nature, because unemployment has serious negative effects on the Muslim community.

Opening ParagraphFollowing the growing interest in recent years in social stratification in Asante in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Arhin, 1983a: 2–22; 1983b: 475; McCaskie, 1983: 23–44; Wilks, 1975: 166–719), this note offers a preliminary study of a body of men who became known in Kumasi and the capital towns of the other Asante chiefdoms – in particular Bekwai, Juaben and Mampon – as the akonkofo in the first phase of colonial rule, 1896–1930. The argument of the paper, written in the light of the views of Daaku (1970, 1971) is that the akonkofo, an intermediary group between office holders and non-holders of office (Arhin, 1983a) could emerge as a distinctive sociopolitical category only in the colonial period. The first section of this article, on the origin of the akonkofo, describes the factors that inhibited the rise of ‘merchant princes’ in Asante before colonial rule; the second, on the akonkofo in Kumasi, offers a kind of social portrait of the akonkofo; and the third section, on the position of the akonkofo in Asante society, examines the relationship of the akonkofo to traditional authority. My sources are archival and written. I have also recorded interviews with Barima Owusu-Ansah, over seventy-five years old, and a leading authority on Asante law and constitution, and with Baffour Osei Akoto, senior spokesman (okyeame) of the Asantehene and just turned seventy, as well as conversations with sundry officials at the Asantehene's court.

In this perspectives piece, we argue that technology can be used to create and facilitate “Third Space” advising, via a model of “flipped advising” which focuses on the development of quality staff–student partnerships. “Third Space” advising, using technology, encourages students and staff to work together to create and validate knowledge, connect experiences, and improve the learning culture of the organization. It also aligns with Hockings’ (2010) definition of inclusive practice in learning and teaching. While so much focus has been on the development of the advisor, the concept of Students as Partners (SaP) and “The Third Space” offer important lenses within which to shift the focus of advising practice away from the development of advisors and toward the development of staff–student partnerships, with a view to improving the impact and outcomes on students themselves.

The Impact

Due to the continuous development of the building-and-construction industry, it is necessary to design new or modify outmoded industrial equipment. Using jaw crushers with the impact action of crushing plates on material is a perspective line of developing crushing equipment. Purpose. Developing a mathematical model of a vibratory jaw crusher and studying the operational process which is based on the mathematical model in order to design new crushers. Methodology. Definition of the crusher working process is based on the main statements of the theory of mechanical oscillations and the theory of continuous environment. In the motion equations of the crusher the material is taken into account on the basis of a discrete model by a continual parameter. Findings. A physical model is developed on the basis of which motion equations are derived, which include three main conditions of the efficient operation: 1) the elasticity of the second vibrating element must exceed or be equal to crushing force; 2) vibrations of the first and the third vibrating elements must be in phase, and vibrations of the second vibrating element must be in antiphase; 3) the summarized displacement of the second and the third crushing plates must ensure crushing of material. Graphs of the effect of the vibrating elements and elasticity coefficients of elastic systems on the amplitudes of vibrations are plotted and analyzed. On the basis of the motion equations, with consideration for the optimal parameters of the crusher vibrating elements and for the elasticity coefficients of the elastic systems, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the crusher for different frequency ranges are determined. Set up is an equation describing the displacement of material in the crushing chamber for a time interval required for the crushing plates to be separated. Presented are graphs of dependency of the amplitude of vertical vibrations of the crusher casing on the elasticity of the isolating elastic system, and provided are recommendations for selecting and calculating vibration isolation. Originality. A mathematical model of an experimental vibratory jaw crusher and the characteristics of the experimental crusher are presented, on the basis of which recommendations are given for the selection of energy-efficient operating modes of the crusher. Practical value. Knowledge on the rational values of the frequency ranges for operation of the studied vibratory jaw crusher makes it possible to determine the optimal level of power consumed by the crusher and efficiency in processing materials of different hardness.

The article raises the problem of classification of the concepts of computer science and informatics studied at secondary school. The efficiency of creation of techniques of training of pupils in these concepts depends on its solution. The author proposes to consider classifications of the concepts of school informatics from four positions: on the cross-subject basis, the content lines of the educational subject "Informatics", the logical and structural interrelations and interactions of the studied concepts, the etymology of foreign-language and translated words in the definition of the concepts of informatics. As a result of the first classification general and special concepts are allocated; the second classification — inter-content and intra-content concepts; the third classification — stable (steady), expanding, key and auxiliary concepts; the fourth classification — concepts-nouns, conceptsverbs, concepts-adjectives and concepts — combinations of parts of speech.

This study aims at understanding how the perceptions about migrants have been created and transferred into daily life as a stigmatization by means of public perception, media and state law implementations.  The focus would be briefly what kind of consequences these perceptions and stigmatization might lead. First section will examine the background of migration to Turkey briefly and make a summary of migration towards Turkey by 90s. Second section will briefly evaluate the preferential legal framework, which constitutes the base for official discourse differentiating the migrants and implementations of security forces that can be described as discriminatory. The third section deals with the impact of perceptions influential in both formation and reproduction of inclusive and exclusive practices towards migrant women. Additionally, impact of public perception in classifying the migrants and migratory processes would be dealt in this section.
