Abstract The covid-19 pandemic has caused the worst socio-economic disruption since World War ii. From the integral state perspective, this article explores the Eritrean government’s pandemic response and the ramifications for its people. The study seeks to understand the measures taken by the government to contain the virus and their immediate impact on the residents of the city of Keren, using individual stories, in-depth interviews, participant observations, media sources, and archival resources gathered from local and national resource centres in Eritrea between March and July 2020. According to the findings, the state’s main measures were restricting large gathering, maintaining complete or partial lockdowns, quarantining persons who might be infected, closing non-essential shops and stores, setting up hotline services, and running massive media campaigns.

Stunting is one of the nutritional problems faced in the world, including Indonesia. To overcome this problem, the government conducted a program to accelerate stunting prevention in 100 priority districts / cities through specific and sensitive nutrition interventions including health and non-health stakeholders. Interventions are carried out in a convergent manner by aligning various resources to achieve the goal of preventing stunting.The convergence is carried out from the planning, budgeting, implementation, to monitoring stages. The purpose of this study is to analyse the challenges of implementing the convergence of stunting prevention programs that have been running since 2018 by local governments in priority districts / cities based on content, context, process, and actors. The research method is operational research with a research design using a qualitative approach design with in-depth interviews in 13 priority districts/cities. The health policy triangle framework is used as an approach in analyzing the results of this study which consists of content, context, process, and actors. In-depth interview sources are policy makers and program managers to accelerate stunting reduction from province to sub-district and village. The results showed that the challenge in implementing convergence was the existence of sectoral egos in each OPD (stakeholders) because of the socialization was not yet optimal so that many stakeholders did not fully understand the stunting prevention program. Information that was late in being obtained, information cut off from socialization, and difficult demographic conditions in the area where one of the causes in certain areas of the obstruction of socialization. The implementation of convergence that has not been optimal is also due to the ansence operational and technical guidelines for implementing program when the research was conducted so that the regions do not know the steps to carry out these activities. Abstrak Masalah anak pendek (stunting) merupakan salah satu permasalahan gizi yang dihadapi di dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan stunting, pemerintah melakukan program percepatan penanggulangan stunting di 100 kabupaten kota prioritas yang melibatkan sektor kesehatan dan non kesehatan melalui intervensi gizi spesifik dan sensitif. Penyelenggaraan intervensi dilakukan secara konvergen dengan menyelaraskan berbagai sumber daya untuk mencapai tujuan pencegahan stunting. Konvergensi dilakukan mulai dari tahap perencanaan, penganggaran, pelaksanaan, sampai monitoring. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis tantangan implementasi konvergensi program pencegahan stunting yang telah berjalan sejak tahun 2018 oleh pemerintah daerah pada Kabupaten prioritas berdasarkan konten, konteks, proses, dan aktor. Metode penelitian merupakan operational research dengan desain penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara mendalam di 13 kabupaten prioritas. Kerangka segitiga kebijakan kesehatan digunakan sebagai pendekatan dalam menganalisis hasil penelitian ini yang terdiri dari konten, konteks, proses, dan aktor. Informan wawancara mendalam ialah para pengambil kebijakan dan pengelola program percepatan penurunan stunting dari mulai provinsi sampai kecamatan dan desa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tantangan dalam implementasi konvergensi ialah masih adanya ego sektoral pada masingmasing OPD karena masih belum optimalnya sosialisasi sehingga banyak yang belum memahami secara menyeluruh mengenai program pencegahan stunting. Informasi yang terlambat diperoleh, terputusnya informasi dari sosialisasi, serta kondisi demografi wilayah yang sulit menjadi salah satu penyebab pada beberapa daerah tertentu tehadap terhambatnya sosialisasi. Implementasi konvergensi yang belum optimal juga dikarenakan belum diperolehnya juklak dan juknis dalam melaksanakan program saat penelitian dilakukan sehingga daerah belum tahu langkah untuk melakukan kegiatan tersebut.

Introduction. In mythologies of the world, the image of the snake ranks among the most studied characters and has various interpretations. In folklore of Turko-Mongols, it has also been a subject of multiple analyses. Still, the article makes a first attempt at revealing the image of the snake as a taboo sacred character in ritual folklore of the Mongolic peoples. Goals. The paper primarily seeks to identify functions of the snake therein, delineate the symbolic framework, reveal positive and negative connotations. Materials and Methods. The main research method employed is that of comparative analysis instrumental in examining the image of the snake as a semiotic sign. Interdisciplinary analysis of ethnographic and folklore materials, as well as comparisons to Turkic ritual actions, expand the boundaries of identifying the semantics of the image. Results. The snake in shamanic mythology of the Mongolic peoples appears in the hypostasis of the otherworldly Spirit closely associated with the shaman. Images of snakes in cave drawings, petroglyphs, shamanic ongons (sanctuaries), and costumes emphasize their sacred function. In shamanic practice, a snake image can be used as a protective element in the form of a walking-stick or whip. Symbolically, a snake in the form of straps implies a connotation of the animal’s magical abilities. The role of a mediator between worlds allows the snake simultaneously performing the function of a protective force. Functions of the snake in rites are interchangeable and complement each other. Shamanic texts of the Mongolic peoples consistently mention the main function of the snake is that of a carrier between worlds, which is closely related to its transforming abilities. Conclusions. The study resumes the snake in shamanic ritual actions of the Mongolic peoples — with positive connotations — functions as an assistant, intermediary, carrier, and envoy from another world that provides communication between realms. It also reveals patterns of transcoding the snake image in different semiotic systems, interconnectedness and interchangeability of sacral reptile functions.

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

The literature on sustainable tourism is scant, particularly in the least developed countries. Very few studies touch upon the concept and no holistic theoretical or conceptual frameworks around the idea of sustainable tourism have been formulated. This study aims at exploring the role of tour operators in developing sustainable tourism in Pakistan and how the tour operators (TOs) conceive their role in this regard. TOs were reached through phone calls, emails, and virtual sources as face-to-face interviews were not possible due to COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on travel by the government. In-depth interviews were conducted to gather data. Results suggest that the TOs although realize the importance of social, environmental, and economic dimensions of tourism on the communities but have no management systems in place to cater accordingly. There are no incentives in place by the government facilitate TOs to design and implement such systems. The TOs do not select a destination based on Global Sustainable Tourism Council criterion, but rather the selection of destination is mostly demand-based and profit-oriented. The study suggests that corporate profit motive is the sole criterion for decision making and is one of the major causes impeding sustainable tourism in Pakistan. The role of TOs in developing sustainable tourism is vague as the TOs do not have any systems in place to implement sustainable models. The study recommends that efforts need to be put in place to incentivize sustainable tourism in Pakistan and proper laws should be set forth by the authorities to comply by the TOs. The role of TOs is important and understood, however, there is a need to put proper systems in place.
