Education plays a very crucial role in the development of child’s abilities, attitude, and behavior. It develops a positive change in the social life of the children. Therefore, many developed and developing nations highly encourage the spread of education through non-formal means. The non-formal education system is usually planned to provide effective knowledge and skills among the people. The present study was conducted with an aim to evaluate the views of non-formal institutions teachers about the students. This study was carried out in district Toba Tek Singh of Punjab province. The present study was descriptive in nature, and a survey was conducted to evaluate the non-formal education systems. All the non-formal educational institutions were the population of the study. The sample size of 50 teachers working in the non-formal educational institute of district Toba Tek Singh was chosen. The researcher for data collection developed a self-designed questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results of this study showed significant differences received from the respondents of non-formal education schools. The obtained results showed that respondents are getting good benefits from the non-formal education system. It is concluded from this study that education is very important for the development of any nation, and it is considered a fundamental human right.

Abstract The multi-ethnic and multilingual complexes of the Upper Rio Negro and the Upper Xingu share common aspects that frequently emerge in ethnographies, including notions of descent, hierarchical social organization and ritual activities, as well as a preference for forms of exogamy and the unequal distribution of productive and ritual specialties and esoteric knowledge. In this article we investigate how the people of both regions conceive of their humanity and that of their neighbours as variations on a shared form, since in both regions ritual processes for negotiating positions and prerogatives seems to take the place of the latent state of warfare typical of the social life of other Amazonian peoples. In this article we will synthesize, for each region, the spatio-temporal processes that underscore the eminently variable constitution of collectivities, seeking, in conclusion, to isolate those elements that the two regions have in common.

This article examines the social life of PFAS contamination (a class of several thousand synthetic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and maps the growing research in the social sciences on the unique conundrums and complex travels of the “forever chemical.” We explore social, political, and cultural dimensions of PFAS toxicity, especially how PFAS move from unseen sites into individual bodies and into the public eye in late industrial contexts; how toxicity is comprehended, experienced, and imagined; the factors shaping regulatory action and ignorance; and how PFAS have been the subject of competing forms of knowledge production. Lastly, we highlight how people mobilize collectively, or become demobilized, in response to PFAS pollution/ toxicity. We argue that PFAS exposure experiences, perceptions, and responses move dynamically through a “toxicity continuum” spanning invisibility, suffering, resignation, and refusal. We off er the concept of the “toxic event” as a way to make sense of the contexts and conditions by which otherwise invisible pollution/toxicity turns into public, mass-mediated, and political episodes. We ground our review in our ongoing multisited ethnographic research on the PFAS exposure experience.

Bicycle Lane

During this pandemic, cycling has become an increasingly popular activity in Indonesian society. more and more people are flocking to bike. The reasons are also various, some are cycling to avoid cramming on public transportation for fear of contracting the corona virus, some are aimed only at eliminating boredom while doing Work From Home (WFH). Cycling also has many benefits including reducing stress, reducing the risk of degenerative desease, controlling body weight, and increasing body strength, balance and muscle coordination. However, there are still many problems with free space on the bicycle paths in the Jakarta area. One of the problems on bicycle paths that is often encountered is the difficulty of making the bicycle paths become steering due to several reasons. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of satisfaction of the people of Jakarta, especially bicycle lane users to the bicycle lanes that have been provided by the Government. This research was conducted directly by observing the research location. And distribute questionnaires to the public to determine the level of respondent satisfaction. Processing of data analysis used descriptive statistical methods with the help of the application of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).ABSTRAKDi masa pandemi ini, bersepeda menjadi kegiatan yang makin populer di lakukan oleh masyrakat Indonesia. semakin banyak orang berbondong-bondong untuk bersepeda.

And Behavior

AbstractThe reasons-causes debate concerns whether explanations of human behavior in terms of an agent's reasons presuppose causal laws. This paper considers three approaches to this debate: the covering law model which holds that there are causal laws covering both reasons and behavior, the intentionalist approach which denies any role to causal laws, and Donald Davidson’s point of view which denies that causal laws connect reasons and behavior, but holds that reasons and behavior must be covered by physical laws if reasons explanations are to be valid. I defend the intentionalist approach against the two causalist approaches and conclude with reflections on the significance of the debate for the social sciences.

This chapter describes a “dramatistic,” “dramatic,” or “dramaturgical” approach to the study of social interaction. It asks whether the dramaturgical model insists on the theatricality of social life merely in the sense of insisting that people fill roles just as persons act parts in a play. This is the question of whether the crucial element in the dramaturgical picture is that cluster of insights that goes under the general heading of “role distance.” The chapter considers the peculiarities of rational explanation and about the role of reconstructions of “the thing to do” other than the role of explaining an action or series of actions by focusing on voting behavior in the terms proposed by Anthony Downs's An Economic Theory of Democracy. It also examines some recent accounts of the phenomenon of suicide, along with the rationality principle, which Karl Popper calls “false but indispensable” to the social sciences.

And Behavior

Stochastic actor-oriented (SAO) models are a family of models for network dynamics that enable researchers to test multiple, often competing explanations for network change and estimate the extent and relative power of various influences on network evolution. SAO models for the co-evolution of network ties and actor behavior, the most comprehensive category of SAO models, examine how networks and actor attributes—their behavior, performance, or attitudes—influence each other over time. While these models have been widely used in the social sciences, and particularly in educational settings, their use in organizational scholarship has been extremely limited. This paper provides a layperson introduction to SAO models for the co-evolution of networks and behavior and the types of research questions they can address. The models and their underpinnings are explained in nonmathematical terms, and theoretical explanations are supported by a concrete, detailed example that includes step-by-step model building and hypothesis testing, alongside an R script.

In this article, we look at educational forms from the point of view of queer theory. We understand educational forms as techno-scientific practices in the sense defined by Donna Haraway (1997, Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium. FemaleMan_Meets_OncoMouse. Routledge). We contemplate the eminently subjugating nature of educational institutions in industrial and post-industrial societies. Our work is based on the introduction of queer theory into the social sciences and its influence on pedagogy, promoting the avoidance of normalising and exclusive subjectivities. We propose a use and understanding of queer that goes beyond the strictly sexual, in order to go as deeply as possible into a critique of bodily abnormality as a form of construction and remission. We also analyse the role that technology plays in building normality and/or making subversions possible, as well as its consequences for bodies and subjectivities in our modernised society.
