The issues of women safai karamcharis are less discussed in academic sphere compared to male safai karamcharis and given minimum importance. These women face multiple problems at the family level, at the working places and in the society; their problems are largely unheard. In the light of this limitation, the present study aimed to give visibility to their problems and their coping mechanisms. It is a collaborative work of three different surveys conducted with 115 safai karamcharis women in Nagpur (60), Kalyan (30) and Mumbai (25) cities applying qualitative and quantitative methods in Maharashtra. The results revealed that women aged 19 years to 46 years are engaged in safai kam and majority of them are widowed or currently married. Almost three-fourths of women resumed this occupation through preferential treatment (PT) case and those of direct recruitment are because of their Scheduled Caste background. Health problems and discrimination at the workplace are common and most of the time neglected. There is a need to establish a strong bridge between workers and academicians who form the policies and welfare programmes for safai karamcharis in order to realize their real conditions and needs. In social sciences, theories of knowledge production have to be utilized for the upliftment or betterment of the people irrespective of the caste and gender.

Os estudos relacionados à geodiversidade, geoconservação, geoturismo e geopatrimônio buscam compreender a Terra a partir de uma visão holística, associado a teoria de Gaia, onde os elementos bióticos e abióticos constituem um sistema dinâmico e integrado. O prefixo geo surgiu na década de 1990 com intuito de uma abordagem sistêmica para os ecossistemas terrestres, embora a diversidade abiótica seja o alvo principal. Os geos (diversidade, patrimônio, conservação e turismo) apresentam técnicas e métodos específicos, nesse contexto o presente trabalho buscou apresentar os métodos qualitativos e quantitativos aplicados aos Geossistemas Ferruginosos, a partir de trabalhos desenvolvidos no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Análise e Modelagem de Sistemas Ambientais da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. O estado de Minas Gerais representa a maior porção dos Geossistemas Ferruginosos do Brasil, esses geossistemas possuem importantes valores patrimoniais, além de elevado valor econômico, justificando a utilização de métodos que auxiliem no inventário, conhecimento científico, educação ambiental, reconhecimento patrimonial e medidas de conservação.Palavras–chave: geodiversidade, geopatrimônio, geoconservação, geoturismo, métodos, geossistemas ferruginosos.Abstract Studies related to geodiversity, geoconservation, geotourism and geoheritage seek to understand the Earth from a holistic view, associated with Gaia theory, where the biotic and abiotic elements constitute a dynamic and integrated system.

Although Sri Lanka made attempts to adopt policies of decentralization and democratic governance to enhance citizens’ trust, the efforts had yielded very little success. As such, this study attempts to assess the level of citizens’ trust in public institutions in the eastern province of Sri Lanka and explores the factors contributing to the decline of citizens’ trust in public institutions. Both qualitative and quantitative methods consisting of questionnaire survey, in-depth-interview and focus group discussion as data collection techniques were employed in this study. Overall, it was found that the people have little trust in the public institutions due to lack of awareness, discrimination in terms of ethnicity, undue delay, lack of modern facilities and political influence. Thus, it is paramount on the part of government to address these challenges to restore the trust among the citizens on these public institutions.

The Individual

It is important to stress that, the Akan amongst many other cultures in Africa by their beliefs and practices, emphasize the individual and the societal wellbeing. Primarily, their idea of wholeness is seen to have been focused on mostly the material and spiritual needs of the human; that is, the complete satisfaction of all members of the community. The people of Amansie West Traditional Area, therefore, view poverty as undesirable and is frowned upon by society. However, the communities should help ease the stress and trauma of the poor. Such insight conforms with an old adage, wo yƆnko da ne wo da, which could in a way be literary translated as, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” It is essential, then, to probe into the relationship that ever existed between the religio-cultural thoughts on poverty and the perceptible impact of poverty on the living conditions of the people in Amansie. The study consequently applied both qualitative and quantitative methods to extract relevant data from respondents. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to relevant persons; an interview guide was developed to facilitate the personal interviews conducted with traditional leaders, townsfolks, religious leaders, opinion leaders, and other stakeholders. The findings among others were that poverty has a religio-cultural dimension; it is a spiritual and moral misfortune. The study recommends a Religio-Cultural Renaissance as a possible avenue to resuscitate and strengthen what otherwise looks like a dearth of religio-cultural practices of the community. A collaborative effort is therefore required by religious leaders and adherents, opinion leaders and townsfolks for sensitizing the people against cultural practices that promote poverty.

Political Apathy

Nigeria continued to dominate both national and international political discourse as a model of democracy for the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa immediately after the successful conduct of the 2015 general elections that saw for the first time peaceful conduct of elections and transition from one civilian administration to the other and which brought the opposition party to power without violence or bloodshed. However, following the conclusion and outcome of the 2019 general elections, the perception of Nigeria has changed from being a beacon of hope for democratic Africa to being an amazement to Political scholars and commentators who find it difficult to unravel how she failed to consolidate the gains of the 2015 general elections and to emerge stronger as a democratic nation. This study leverages the governance approach, and explores the need to rebrand the electoral process for enhanced democratic governance in Nigeria. It examines the need for a healthy synergy between the electorate, the political class, political parties and the institutions of government for inclusive nation building. It adopts both the qualitative and quantitative methods of research in its exploration between 1999 and 2019. It takes a critical look at what has become characterized as Nigeria’s ‘brand of politics’- which is essentially corrupt, violent, and manipulative of the wishes of the people. The work argues that except the electoral process is rebranded in line with acceptable international best practices of democratic culture where the will of the people is seen to prevail, political apathy may persist.

ABSTRACT. This study aims: to provide an overview of the development of seaweed cultivation in improving the economy of coastal communities. Based on the results of a theoretical study of various results of research on seaweed cultivation in Indonesia. Some of the things that make seaweed farming activities are in great demand by coastal communities, namely the technical aspects of seaweed farming are relatively easy with a short maintenance time, while from the economic aspect this business is very profitable because of the relatively cheap investment and production costs. The type of seaweed has economic value, namely; Gracilaria sp. Gelidium sp. This can be seen from the behavior of the people in seaweed management which still overrides the surrounding environmental factors. This certainly contradicts the concept of integrated coastal areas.ABSTRAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan: memberikan gambaran tentang perkembangan budidaya rumput laut dalam meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat pesisir. Berdasarkan hasil kajian teori dari berbagai hasil penelitian tentang budidaya rumput laut yang ada di Indonesia. Beberapa hal yang membuat kegiatan budidaya rumput laut sangat diminati oleh para masyarakat pesisir yaitu aspek teknis usaha budidaya rumput laut yang relative mudah dengan waktu pemeliharaan singkat, sedangkan dari aspek ekonomi usaha ini sangat menguntungkan karena biaya investasi dan produksi yang relatif murah. Adapun jenis rumput laut memiliki nilai ekonomi yaitu; Gracilaria sp, Gelidium sp, Sargassum sp , Eucheuma cottonii,dan Euxheuma spinosum., Maka dapat disimpulkan hasil dari kajian ini bahwaterdapat kecenderungan masyarakat dalam menanam rumput laut masih jauh dari konsep pengelolaan yang berkelanjutan. Hal tersebut bisa dilihat dari perilaku masyarakat dalam pengelolaan rumput laut yang masih mengesampingkan faktor lingkungan sekitar. Hal tersebut tentu bertentangan dengan konsep pelestarian wilayah pesisir secara terpadu.

Bunaken Island which is shaped like the crescent, has an area of 696.8 ha and is a park conservation areanational sea in North Sulawesi. Bunaken Island has two villages, first, Bunaken Village, the administrative area ofup to Parigi Headland and Siladen Island. Then the second village is Alungbanua Village. Based on the surveyresults in the village of Bunaken- Parigi Headland, it was known that there are still many yards that are still not usedfor planting horticultural crops that can provide a food source for family. In addition, it was found that there werestill many pigs released wildly by the community and produced large amounts of pig manure. Parigi Headlandpeople have the potential to develop group and family businesses in agriculture, but still have limitations indeveloping farming technology, making and using organic fertilizers, and producing organic pesticides. PKMHorticultural Crop Cultivation Utilizing Yard Land in Bunaken Manado aims to train communities and families inthe village of Bunaken-Parigi Headland to be able to utilize their yard and increase the quantity and quality ofproduction of horticultural crops in the form of chili, tomatoes and vegetables. Furtheremore, it aims to guide andtrain the community so they can produce their own organic fertilizer as a result of fermentation of livestock manure.The results obtained were 1) an increase in public understanding of the importance of using yard land as a place offarming with high economic value such as chili, 2) results obtained by the early harvest chilies weight ranged from0.50 to 1.10 kg per plant in the raised beds, and the weight of chilies grown in polybags have a range of 0.40 to 0.95kg per plant, 3) organic fertilizer fermented manure waste using biological agents effective microorganism (EM4)was gained, and 4) the construction of the maintenance enclosure for pigs.
