: In Zimbabwean rural schools, drug abuse is observed to be on the increase trend. It is in this context that this paper delved into experiences that are encountered by vulnerable learners abusing drug in rural schools. Accordingly, it targeted at how this social phobic has become entrenched in learners’ way of being and the plausible antidotes to this drawback. In this regard, a framework derived from social constructionist and symbolic interactionist standpoints provided the lens through which the researchers perceived the issue under investigation. The researchers used literature review in the generation and analysis of learners’ lived experiences with regards to the issue under study from different sources. The researchers used the narration of information from commissioned reports, newspaper articles and empirical findings. From consulted sources, the researchers noted that there is widespread drug abuse in most rural schools through the influence of the institution linked dynamics, age issues, life stress, peer group pressure, obtainability of ready money and ease of access to drugs. With respect to these findings, the researchers concluded that drug abuse by learners in rural schools in Zimbabwe was from literature perspective mostly due to multi-pronged influences. Hence the researchers recommended that key interested parties such as Government, Non- Governmental Organizations, parents, teachers and policymakers should consistently implement and monitor strategies such as peer counselling to mitigate the drug abuse among rural learners.

Non-governmental organizations are gradually coming to play an increasing role in developmental projects and organizational psychology is being challenged to contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of inter-party collaboration. This article documents how the stakeholders in a social development project develop meaning through discursive practices, when they define the issues they work on from their own particular perspectives. Development work is pictured in the use of metaphors as being aid, trade, transfer, exchange, etc. through the use of specific forms of thought and language. Each metaphor leads into different meaning configurations and characterizes a specific quality of dialogue. Special attention is paid to the action strategies that allow the 'weaker' parties to remain included in the development project. Discursive practices, metaphors and qualities of dialogue are illustrated for two multi-party projects. These illustrate how a social constructionist reading can reveal and generate discourses that allow the inclusion of weaker parties, in the cases under study, as representatives of the local communities.

There are currently various non-governmental organizations, related to both religious missions and social missions, that motivate the growth of the spirit of generosity. At the same time, these organizations facilitate the collection of donations from donors and subsequently distribute these alms to people who are deemed entitled to them. The charitable institutions have developed significantly, both in terms of fundraising and distribution, partly due to the effective use of online approaches. In its development, the role of online technology has proven to have two opposite effects. In addition to the ease of access to information and effectiveness in facilitating generosity, online approaches are proven to have eliminated the emotional connections between the subjects and the objects of the charitable deeds, in this case between the donors and the recipients. Philanthropic attitudes related to religion, for example, are intended to foster humanistic relationships between the givers and the receptors. This study examines the management of online fundraising, the weaknesses and factors that hamper its implementation, and the quests for the solutions to this problem. This research is a descriptive qualitative study using direct observations over online media as the method for data collection techniques and technoculture for the analysis, supported by literature studies. The main result of this research is the holistic concept of perfecting the fundraising system and online services hence more humane.

Until now efforts to tackle drugs by formal government institutions (Ministry of Health, Immigration, Customs, Police, Narcotics Agency, etc.) as well as by other non-governmental organizations are still not optimal, are less integrated and tend to act individually sectorally. The problem of drug abuse is not handled optimally, so cases of drug abuse tend to increase both in quality and quantity.The problem in this research is how the Legal Arrangement of the Police and National Narcotics Agency Investigations Against Narcotics Criminals, How to Implement the National Police and Narcotics Agency Investigation Authority Against Narcotics Crimes, and what factors are obstacles, and the solution to the National Police and Narcotics Agency Criminal Investigation Authority Narcotics criminal.

This study uses a descriptive analytical method with a sociological juridical approach (sociological legal research) to study the laws and regulations relating to the process of investigating and investigating non-criminal drugs. The results of this study indicate that the authority of the National Police and Narcotics Agency Investigators in Narcotics Criminal Law Enforcement has basically been implemented well, although there are still many obstacles, especially conflicts in the implementation of the law.

This chapter has been prepared for pursuing the first author's PhD study. It contains the basic components of a research proposal such as the background of the study, statement of the problem, research questions, objectives, scope, study significance, methodology, and the literature review including conceptual and theoretical framework, etc. The proposal found that the immediate response to humanitarian crisis, healthcare, the importance of values and cultural context in the operation area have made faith-based non-governmental organizations (FBNGOs) as a vital stakeholder in development. However, there is still a debate about the claim of having the advantage of FBNGOs in development intervention. Based on this proposal, the study is being conducted on an international FBNGO, working in Bangladesh, to investigate its community empowerment initiatives. The proposal could be a practical guideline for the academicians who are interested in studying the contribution of NGOs' in development discourse.

The 2015 Paris Agreement specified that the goal of international climate policy is to strengthen the global response to climate change by restricting the average global warming this century to “well below” 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. In this context, “Negative Emissions Technologies” (NETs)—technologies that remove additional greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the atmosphere—are receiving greater political attention. They are introduced as a backstop method for achieving temperature targets. A focal point in the discussions on NETs are the emission and mitigation pathways assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Drawing on perspectives from Science & Technology Studies (STS) and discourse analysis, the paper explores the emergence of narratives about NETs and reconstructs how the treatment of NETs within IPCC assessments became politicized terrain of configuration for essentially conflicting interests concerning long-term developments in the post-Paris regime. NETs are—critics claim—not the silver bullet solution to finally fix the climate, they are a Trojan horse; serving to delay decarbonization efforts by offering apparent climate solutions that allow GHGs emissions to continue and foster misplaced hope in future GHG removal technologies. In order to explore the emerging controversies, we conduct a literature review to identify NETs narratives in the scientific literature. Based on this, we reevaluate expert interviews to reconstruct narratives emerging from German environmental non-governmental organizations (eNGOs). We find a spectrum of narratives on NETs in the literature review and the eNGO interviews. The most prominent stories within this spectrum frame NETs either as a moral hazard or as a matter of necessity to achieve temperature targets.
