Purposive Sample

Prostate cancer (PrCA) is the most commonly diagnosed nonskin cancer among men. African American (AA) men in South Carolina have a PrCA death rate 150% higher than that of European American (EA) men. This in-depth qualitative research explored AA men’s and women’s current practices, barriers, and recommended strategies for PrCA communication. A purposive sample of 43 AA men and 38 AA spouses/female relatives participated in focus groups (11 male groups; 11 female groups). A 19-item discussion guide was developed. Coding and analyses were driven by the data; recurrent themes within and across groups were examined. Findings revealed AA men and women agreed on key barriers to discussing PrCA; however, they had differing perspectives on which of these were most important. Findings indicate that including AA women in PrCA research and education is needed to address barriers preventing AA men from effectively communicating about PrCA risk and screening with family and health care providers.

Care Deficit

After completing or dropping out of school, many young people leave their family households and in some cases they move from rural or semi-rural areas to urban centres. Faith-based organisations (FBOs) in major cities in South Africa sometimes act as a safety net for marginalised youth, especially as government departments are overburdened and not addressing all the needs of youth at the margins. This qualitative research is based on an analysis of individual and focus group interviews undertaken with young people living in the central areas of Pretoria. It is shown how families and FBOs engage as separate, although at times not unrelated, entities in the lives of youth at the margins. In certain cases, the FBO became an institution of last resort and only in rare cases is a certain synergy achieved between FBOs and families.

Domestic Violence Prevention

The Ngäbe-Buglé is the largest underserved indigenous population in Panama facing extreme health disparities compounded by structural, social, and cultural factors. Contributing factors to the poor health outcomes in this region include extreme poverty, low education, high maternal and infant mortality, alcohol use, and an increasing trend of domestic violence. The present intervention used community participatory processes to develop tailored material within the Ngäbe-Buglé community and training health promoters to deliver health education to the most rural areas. There were 78 health promoters who were trained using the training-of-trainers approach. Promoters distributed the health messages to their communities using the tailored material, the main topic discussed being domestic violence. Almost 7,000 community members received health education, demonstrating increased knowledge and intent to act on information received. Future directions include further funding, research, and education of indigenous groups in Panama on domestic violence.

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the expectations of family members of alcoholics living in rural areas under treatment in a Psychiatric Hospitalization Unit. Method: qualitative research, through interviews with 15 relatives of alcoholics living in rural areas and hospitalized in a Psychiatric Unit. Information was interpreted in the light of Phenomenological Sociology. Results: two concrete categories emerged: Expectations that the family member quits using alcohol and Projects of family members for the alcoholic after discharge. Relatives expected the alcoholic to maintain abstinence and planned post-discharge care, which involved everything from welcoming them to projects with a prospect of control or even fear of not being able to care for the alcoholic. Final considerations: most participants have positive expectations regarding psychiatric hospitalization, but some relatives are not confident about caring for the alcoholic and mentioned alternatives such as hiring a caregiver or nursing homes.

Abstract This book unites recent findings from quantitative and qualitative research from across Africa to illuminate how young men and women engage with the rural economy and imagine their futures, and how development policies and interventions can find traction with these realities. Its 10 chapters are organized around commonly-made foundational claims: that large numbers of young people are leaving rural areas, have no interest in agriculture, cannot access land, can be the engine of rural transformation, are stuck in permanent waithood, and that the rural economy can provide a wealth of opportunity.

The present chapter aimed at making out the possibility of sustainable rural development by husbanding precious resources in the rural areas, particularly the rural areas of the Central Karakoram zone in Pakistan. For this purpose, a qualitative research design was manipulated in order to decipher the maximum chance of attaining rural sustainability in these areas through a thorough perusal of various relevant past studies. Hence, the information, gleaned from the archival sources and elucidated hermeneutically, signified a high level of effectiveness of the economical use of natural resources for retaining sufficient and passable degree of sustainability in the rural areas. Consequently, the hermeneutic assertions, made by the researcher of this study, accentuated the inculcation of numerous assorted customary husbandry methods, adopted and employed by the pure traditional rural communities, among the modern rural population of the Central Karakoram zone in Pakistan as well in order to enhance the possibility of arriving at the rural sustainability in these areas. Recognizing the value of certain reliable husbandry practices, the study deemed and estimated a maximum accomplishment of targets set out for attaining sustainable rural development all around the world, particularly in the Central Karakoram zone in Pakistan.

Tourist Village

The society of Batak Toba in Huta Siallagan has customs inherited by their ancestors, where there are customs and cultural patterns in the outer space including cultural ceremonies, customs and traditions. Based on the phenomenon found in the tourist village of Huta Siallagan, the researcher examines a culture pattern that has been formed and has its own attraction in the form of cultural tourism that makes it as one of tourism assets based on the potential of rural areas. Qualitative descriptive research strategy is where qualitative research is rooted in the natural setting as a whole, relying on human as a research tool, utilizing qualitative methods and conducting inductive data analysis. Qualitative research is concerned with the process rather than results. Desiring the limits of the research on the basis of the focus that arises as a problem, has a set of criteria for measuring the validity of data through agreement between the researcher and the subjects studied and descriptive studies trying to describe and interpret what is and can be about the conditions or relationships that exist, , ongoing processes, effects, or growing trends. Descriptive studies are primarily concerned with the present, although it is not uncommon to take into account past events and their effects on current conditions on the pattern of outer space on cultural activities occurring in Huta Siallagan

Krishi Vigyan Kendra was established initially to impart training to the different stakeholders of the farming community as a method of technology delivery system. As the time passed by this grass root institution has undergone a tremendous change, starting from technology generation, testing, verification and ultimately onwards transmission to the end users for the enhancement of the productivity in particular and for the overall socio- economic development of the rural people in general with its mandated programmes.  The work was conducted with 10 independent variables and one dependent variable-.i.e. Production orientation (y). Purposive as well as simple random techniques were adopted for the study. Among 50 adopted KVK farmers of the selected villages only 22 adopted farmers have been randomly selected and more 22 non adopted farmers and thus altogether 44 farmers have been randomly selected for the study. The results revealed that adoption of improved and newer technology requires decision by farmers, and scientific orientation is a degree to which respondents can orient to the use of scientific methods in relation to adoption behavior. It is an important psychological factor in decision making process.  It is concluded that people with progressive attitude will always try to involve themselves in all activities through which more annual income can be achieved and education plays a vital role for adoption process. Training plays important role for improvement of KVK. In the last phase of stepwise regression analysis it is seen that mechanization in family has got some functional impact on production orientation. Mechanization in family determines the adoption of new technology which increases farm production. So it is clear that KVK is an institutional project of ICAR to demonstrate the application of science and technology input of agricultural research and education in the farmers field in the rural areas.

It is an indisputable fact that technology is a part of our lives. It is known that research and education technologies are concentrated. By examining the articles and dissertations published in the field, the scope, strengths and weaknesses of the studies were determined. An important gap has been filled in to guide researches what kind of studies may be needed in the future. Many studies for this purpose were found in the literature. However, since similar studies dealing with educational technologies are outdated, this study is considered important in terms of gathering current research trends and results. The aim of this study is to analyse the articles published in the Scopus database on educational technologies and instructional technologies, thematically and methodologically. The study was designed by adopting a case study from qualitative research models. The sample has not been determined for postgraduate dissertations to be included in the study, and it was aimed to reach the whole universe. In this context, all articles have been accessed through the library system of the university in the Scopus database included. The keywords ‘educational technologies’ and ‘instructional technologies’ were used in the article search. The document types have been examined by year, by country, by authors, by field research and by place of publication.

The Relationship

This article analyzes published news about ‘Paraná 12 Meses’, a project developed for small rural producers, with the purpose of understanding the problem of the space occupied by the actors involved, since the proposal was for joint construction with the communities. Qualitative research was carried out based on discourse analysis in newspapers that cover the three historical regions of the territory of Paraná. The objective was to verify whether the horizontality that came from it was consolidated in articles and releases, through the identification of the protagonists of the narrative. The article also verifies the relationship between investments and agribusiness, possibly pointed out as an irreversible way for small farmers to remain in rural areas. This study is based on the concept of Marcusian one-dimensional, which accuses the modern world of trying to impose a unique path for development. The research demonstrated a verticalization of the narrative with the official voices presenting themselves in defense of transnational agribusiness
