Field data obtained in five districts / cities in Aceh can be represented as a sample of all regions in Aceh. The cities that are used as primary data references are Kota Lhokseumawe, Banda Aceh, Meulaboh, Takengon, and Langsa City assuming Lhokseumawe and Langsa represent Coastal Aceh, Banda Aceh Aceh Government Center, Meulaboh representing the south west Aceh region and Takengon representing the central Aceh region . It is increasingly clear that Narcotics and Prostitution Practices have become Aceh's problems that must be addressed and overcome by the government and the community in a continuous and simultaneous and comprehensive manner so that they do not become widespread in the future.

This article is concerned with the implementation of the Anglo-Argentine 14th July 1999 Joint Statement relating to the Falklands/Malvinas and the South West Atlantic. Initial consideration is given to the recent historical and political context of the Falklands/Malvinas dispute. The arrest of General Pinochet in London is shown to have been a significant factor in Anglo-Argentine relations during the period of 1998–1999. Thereafter, the background relating to the 14th July 1999 Joint Statement is considered in some detail as it relates to fishing, travel, place names, land mines and an Argentine war memorial on the Falkland Islands. Each element of the Joint Statement is shown to be problematic, and the article concludes with the belief that the provisions of the Joint Statement will continue to strengthen the rapprochement between Britain and Argentina without making any substantial progress towards the eventual solution of the dispute over the Falklands/Malvinas.

The impact of Calvinist theology and of reformed leadership on the South African Council of Churches (SACC) is vast. After a brief history of the SACC, the author notes the contribution that a number of reformed and presbyterian clergy and theologians have made – as presidents, general secretaries or as theo- logians who helped develop the SACC’s message. At least five principles that Calvin held dear, are reflected in the SACC’s agenda during the past decades: the quest for unity, the con- cern for mission, covenanting for justice, providing a prophetic witness in the community, and when the need arose, the willingness to confront the government of the day. The article concludes with a brief look at the future of the SACC and of the continued input that reformed theologians may be able to make.

The recent trial in Pretoria of thirty-seven South West Africans on charges of “participation in terroristic activities” focused international attention yet again on the mandated territory of South West Africa. The trial, conviction and sentencing of the accused evoked protest and condemnation from the United Nations on the ground that, as a result of General Assembly Resolution 2145 (XXI), South Africa had lost jurisdiction over the territory and hence the competence to try the accused at all. On December 16, 1967, while the trial was in progress, the General Assembly, by 110 votes to two (Portugal and South Africa), condemned the “illegal arrest, deportation, and trial” of the accused, and on the eve of the judgment in the case on January 25, 1968, the Security Council in a unanimous resolution called upon the Government of South Africa “to discontinue forthwith this illegal trial and to release and repatriate the South West Africans concerned,” a call which was converted into a “demand” by a further unanimous resolution on March 14, 1968, after many of the accused had been sentenced to long periods of imprisonment. The South African Government, however, arguing that Resolution 2145 (XXI) was invalid and that it was fully competent in law to prosecute the accused for offenses committed in South West Africa, declined to accept these “calls” and “demands.”

Isolation and integration are two sides of the same coin, the former denoting negativity with the latter denoting positivity. The penetration of the LDS church into Nigeria in general and south-western Nigeria in particular has been faced with a considerable amount of opposition from the populace and the government. Nigeria is one of the most religious countries in Africa. Due to the vast demographic space, I am limiting our study to the south-western states, where it seems the church is growing more. The eastern region, to an extent, has also been experiencing considerable growth. Our queries are: what are the elements that depict isolation from other religious sects and society? What are the parameters for this phenomenon? Is there any evidence of integration? If so, how is this manifested? How are the male and female members of the LDS church trying to integrate into society and how has the response been? These among other questions are examined. Nigeria is originally a Catholic and Pentecostal religious environment, where open miracles, wonders and other phenomena are visible. These are hardly visible in LDS services, and this serves as motivation for non-members to oppose and isolate members of the LDS church from the fibers of society. The undetermined position of the LDS church and its non-registration with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has and continues to have relevant effects on the integration of the church and its members into the Christian circle of the country in general and the south-west in particular. I have discovered that, though the church’s growth in the south-west is visible, the possibility of integration has proven difficult. Due to the limited literature on this subject in the country, I have utilized semi-structured direct and indirect interviews of pioneers of the wards/units in the south-west, and also those who have investigated the church, many of whom still view the church as a cult. I also used an analytic approach that straddles critical discourse analysis and postcolonial theory. This paper proposes ways in which the members of the LDS church can better integrate themselves in a society that has a very different religious and cultural background to that of American society, where the church has more fully moved from isolation to integration.

This research sought to investigate the effect of smart Agri-preneurship dimensions on food affordability in South-West, Nigeria. Diverse literature confirmed positions of scholarly discourse regarding the relationship between smart Agri-preneurship dimensions and food affordability. Cross-sectional research design was adopted while adopted questionnaire was used to source primary data. Duly registered Agri-preneurs in South-West Nigeria were selected with a population of (2,557). Cochran, Hatzes, Butler, and Marcy formula (1997) was adopted and a reliable and valid questionnaire was tested on 558 Agri-preneurs. The regressed constructs revealed a positive and significant effect of smart Agri-preneurship on food affordability. The findings indicated that smart Agri-preneurship dimensions have positive and significant effect on food affordability (Adj.R2 = 0.602, F (6,551) = 141.319, p=0.000). The study concludes that farmers should embrace smart Agri-preneurial technologies as innovations that could improve their farm yields, hence reduce the cost of production and make food output more affordable. The study recommends that the government should engage Agri-preneurs and provide partnerships that would be beneficial in improving food affordability opportunities through the adoption of smart technologies.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the reasons for, and the repercussions of, a virulent and protracted crisis in the South West Province of anglophone Cameroon during the 1990s caused by the emergence of a Pentecostalism-inspired revival movement within the Roman Catholic Church. The so-called Maranatha movement and main-line Catholicism were viewed by both parties as incompatible, almost leading to a schism within the Church. The originally internal Church dispute gradually became a particularly explosive issue in the region when the politics of belonging, fuelled by the government and the regional elite during political liberalisation, became pervasive.

Positive law in Indonesia stipulates that business actors are not allowed to produce and trade all products, including baby clothes that do not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). However, in reality, baby clothing business actors still find violations, for example, in the city of Banda Aceh. Departing from these problems, this study aims to explain the role of the government in protecting consumers. These factors cause the sale and purchase of baby clothes that do not have SNI and legal measures that consumers can take as a form of responsibility for sellers of baby clothes who do not have SNI. This research is legal research that is juridical and empirical that seeks newness based on field research concerning legitimate science. Field research was conducted to obtain primary data through interviews and provide questionnaires with respondents and informants. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the role of the government in protecting consumers has carried out supervision, established several regulations and conducted socialization regarding mandatory SNI for baby clothes that are not SNI but not yet fully effective.
