Johad, popularly known as pond, is a well known traditional system of water harvesting for lean periods in several parts of peninsular India. To get a bucket of drinking water is a struggle for most women in the country. The virtually dry and dead water resources have leave to acute water scarcity, affecting the socio-economic and environmental conditions of the society.The drought conditions have pushed villagers to move to cities in search of jobs, whereas women and girls are trudging still further. There is a time loss in fetching water can very well converted into financial gains, leading to a better life for the family. Johad movement initiate a change in socio- economic scenario i.e. migration reduce, women status, marriage, unity, production of crops, milk and fisheries. To overcome water crisis, the people in this state are starting voluntary movement in many places for restoring/arranging water supply with indigenous method. Therefore many socio- economic conditions are improving and also environment. ····· 10361115187

To bring peace and justice in the society, it is necessary to include the disabled persons in this society by tooth and nail. A country cannot uplift its socioeconomic conditions unless and until people from all strata of the society have equal access to physical, economic and social opportunities. Though the developed countries of the world become concern about the rights of the disability, developing countries like Bangladesh is still away to achieve the satisfaction. Recently NFOWD (National Forum of Organizations Working with the Disabled) identified 5.6 percent of the total population of Bangladesh are disabled. So, this segment of population should be ascendant to get their rights in all aspects of the society. This dissertation is concern about the transport facilities for People with disabilities, which will make them socially included. The research has focused on the social deprivation of disabled people in case of the transport facilities, the existing travel pattern and frequency and the way to increase their mobility especially in Badda union of Dhaka City. ····· 10361115171

SOCIO-CULTURAL ADJUSTMENT OF POOR MIGRANTS IN URBAN BANGLADESH

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This research examines the factors of rural-urban migration and also the adjustment strategies to setup in urban societies. It is found that the underlying cause of migration is mainly driven by economic and social factors i.e., unemployment, poverty, political and ethnic conflicts, religious etc. In the migration process the push factors are more active then pull factors, as poverty and unemployment always push the poor villagers to change their residence to the cities. After migration majority of the migrants comparatively improved their livelihoods in the city. Although poor migrants have contributed significantly for the economic growth and gained from higher wages in higher productivity areas, they remain socially and economically excluded from the wider benefits of economic growth such as access to food and education, housing, sanitation and freedom. The study results highlight the need to target migrant groups and urban poor within urban areas in the provision of availability of work and social care services. ····· 10361115124

Conservation Education Through Ex-Situ Management, Central Zoo, Nepal

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Conservation Education is a teaching and learning process to raise awareness of the problems faced in the field of biodiversity conservation in general by giving more knowledge in an active way on different topics that provides information of the actual situation of nature from single species to biotopes in an effective way. Conservation of biodiversity is practiced in both in-situ and ex-situ. In- situ conservation includes the conservation done in natural habitats such as national parks, wildlife reserves, and conservation areas etc whereas ex-situ is the conservation done in manmade habitats like zoo, botanical gardens, aquariums etc. Providing CE through ex-situ conservation is a remarkable job. This study was done to explore the existing CE programs and the perception of recipients of Friends of the Zoo (FOZ) program and other forms of CE initiated by NTNC Central Zoo, the only zoo of Nepal and its future upgrading. This study was undertaken in Central Zoo premises and its CE networking schools. ····· 10361115112

Prisons, Prisoners and Health Care

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
As agencies of disempowerment and deprivation, prisons epitomise the antithesis of healthy edifices. Being pioneers of prisons designed for punishment, deterrence, incapacitation & rehabilitation, trends in United States` prisons, prisoners and prison health care both recapitulate and portend incarceration trends and adequacy of prison health care globally. The current Mass Imprisonment phenomenon in America mirrors the Great Confinement in 17th century Europe. Also, America`s current Prison-Industrial- Complex is reminiscent of Russia`s early 20th century Gulag Archipelago. Based on their extensive professional experience in clinical services delivery, policy development, research and public health programs` implementation in prisons, the authors examine major historical features ofprisons, socio-cultural and demographic characteristics of prisoners, significant health conditions in prison settings, as well as policies and programs required for optimising correctional health care. ····· 10361115097

MANUAL ON ADVENTIST PILOT PROJECT

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
HIV/AIDS has decimated families and communities all around the world leaving in its path pain, anger, sorrow, loneliness, and discouragement. Unfortunately the Church has sometimes contributed to the problem instead of being part of the solution. Instead of showing compassion to people living with HIV/AIDS, the Church has sometimes expressed the idea that they have gotten what they deserve. However, a basic Christian teaching is that God`s grace is only for the undeserving that none of us deserves to be loved, forgiven, accepted, or welcomed into the family of God. God`s people must learn to extend that same love, forgiveness, acceptance, and welcome into fellowship to other undeserving people. I was happily surprised when Dr. Anyaogu chose to do his Doctor of Ministry research on how the Church could help slow the spread of HIV/AIDS in the communities where it is working. It is my hope and prayer that this manual will change attitudes and give guidance so that every Seventh-day Adventist Church and every Seventh-day Adventist member will be better informed concerning HIV/AIDS so they can share God`s love, compassion, and acceptance with those suffering from this scourge. ····· 10361115050

Among various insect-pests attacking pigeonpea, H. armigera (Hübner) Hardwick is a cosmopolitan and highly polyphagous insect and is the major biotic constraint. In Asia, H. armigera has developed high levels of resistance to organochlorine, organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids. The trends also highlight the need for safe and effective management strategies for H. armigera, given impetus to the development and use of alternative and has less negative impact on beneficial organisms than conventional insecticides. At present, alternative is the biopesticides for its eco-friendly management. The effectiveness and economics of different treatments Bt @ 1.0 kg/ha and Bb @ 1.5 kg/ha along with half dose of endosulfan 0.035 per cent per cent were found as effective as the recommended synthetic insecticides for the eco-friendly management. The persistence of B. thuringiensis @ 2.0 kg/ha and B. bassiana @ 3.0 kg/ha became half within 3 days and caused the mortality in H. armigera larvae up to 7 and 11 days, respectively. Both the application methods (spraying and irrigation) of Bb proved to be equally effective in affecting the post-development of Helicoverpa larvae. ····· 10361115018

The Respectable of Port Adelaide

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
During the 19th century the working-class in Australia and Britain developed an ideology of respectability. Respectability can be seen as the negotiation of others good moral opinion through one`s interpretation of the necessary displays of behaviour and material culture. This study was therefore interested in whether evidence for respectability was displayed by the working-class of Port Adelaide, South Australia. To determine this, four themes were chosen: temperance, the wife in the home, attitudes towards children and meal times. Analysis of these themes was applied to artefact assemblages retrieved from two excavations. This analysis has revealed that residents from each of the three sites chose to participate in the ideology of respectability to different extents. The application of the ideology, however, was not a smooth process and this thesis identifies and explores areas where the ideology of respectability came into conflict with previously held views. This analysis will be of interest to historical archaeologists, historians focusing on working-class and material culture analysts. ····· 10361115014

Impacts of Rural Electrification in the Lives of Bhutanese Women

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This research aims to analyse and assess social and economic impacts of rural electrification (REL) in the lives of the women in order to justify the high investment and priority given to this sector by the Royal Government of Bhutan and to see if it is helping in achieving the relevant aspects of MDG 3. In particular this research focuses on REL`s impact on the daily activities and drudgery, health, education, income, empowerment, migration to urban areas and security of women. The research reveals that electrification is playing an important role in reducing drudgery in rural women`s lives. It also has some positive impact on health, education and employment.However, it does not appear significant in empowering women and in bringing gender equality in rural areas. Women still appear to be inferior in terms of financial independence and in their share of household work. The positive impacts of REL found by this study are not enough to fully justify the huge investments in REL programs. The benefits from it could be enhanced by encouraging participation of the beneficiaries and by introducing gender focussed supplementary programs. ····· 10361114967

Integrated Coastal Farming Systems

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Integrated farming system represents an appropriate combination of farm enterprises coupled with the means available to the farmers to raise them for profitability. It is essential to understand the role and nature of different enterprise combinations with systems perspective, in order to plan meticulously on how to integrate them for optimum productivity. The study was conducted in two coastal districts of Tamil Nadu by drawing a proportional sample size of 150 while covering 8 villages and 4 blocks. Data were collected using interview schedule and PRA tools and analysed with suitable statistical techniques. A Sustainable Livelihood Index was developed to ascertain the contribution of variables in different enterprise combinations. The constraints relating to marketing, input, natural calamities, labour, government support, pest & diseases and infrastructure were ranked by the farmers in major production systems. Adequate incentive support to horticulture and fisheries enterprises and production of value added farm products in every village might improve input recycling of most of the farming systems. ····· 10361114836

IMPACT OF SAND MINING AND EFFLUENT POLLUTION ON RURAL COMMUNITIES

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Intense sand mining has two vital influences on groundwater: First, it inhibits the riverbed`s ability to hold groundwater and secondly it reduces the recharge of water to open wells, ponds and tanks within proximity. Thus sand mining reduces the availability of groundwater. Next, the industrial effluents in such areas exacerbate the predicament as they affect the groundwater quality. This has affected agriculture, health and environment resulting in inefficiency and welfare loss to the rural communities. This book provides a theoretical and an empirical analysis of sand mining and distillery effluent impacts on groundwater use and possible solutions for internalisation of negative externalities focusing on North Pinakini River basin of Karnataka, India. The analysis provide useful insights to the policy makers towards framing effective institutions to regulate the activities of both sand miners and distillery effluent polluters and save the precious groundwater resource from depletion and degradation. ····· 10361114636

The book, `Delivery by Non-Governmental Organizations and Alleviation of Rural Poverty in Southwestern Nigeria` is written based on a research conducted to investigate the effects of microcredit and saving facilities through microfinance Non-Governmental Organizations (MNGOs) on poverty alleviation among smallholders in rural Southwestern Nigeria. The study was carried out among clients and non-clients of two MNGOs viz: COWAN and FADU in the area. Multistage random sampling was used to select 200 samples from each of clients and non-clients of MNGOs. Primary data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis was unique in that it made extensive use of difference of two means and deviation measures among others to discuss similarities and differences in socioeconomic characteristics of the groups in comparison. The study provided a conceptual framework that explained how micrifinance provision by NGOs can move clients away from poverty line. It analyzed the incidence, dept and severity of poverty as well as the determinants of poverty, savings, mcrocredit repayment among clients and non-clients of NGOs. ····· 10361114625

Extension agencies in many countries have organized farmers into groups to minimize cost and time for technology transfer. In this context, farmer participation becomes important to plan and implement Extension education programs. This book presents a study conducted in Nepal that explored government aims of farmer participation and experiences of farmers in an agricultural development program that claims to be based on the participatory principles. Data were collected from secondary sources and focus group discussions and interviews with farmers, policy makers, government and agency staff. The findings show wide discrepancies between the various sources of information: i.e., (1) the aims of farmer participation stated in national policy documents, (2) the interpretations in government and program documents, (3) the views on participation expressed by government and program staff in interviews, (4) participation as experienced by farmers in a case study, and (5) participation as desired by non-participants of the program. Findings have implications for community development work both in non-industrialized and industrialized countries of the world. ····· 10361114391

Diversity and critical reflective work behaviour

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In this empirical study it was hypothesized that visible diversity and education level (diversity) are positively related to cognitive diversity and critical reflective work behaviour. But that in order to harvest the benefits of diversity, beliefs of valuing diversity are needed. Gender diversity and the average level of education within a team are found to increase the level of cognitive diversity. Analyses further revealed significant effects of task complexity and sector influences regarding critical reflective work behaviour. However, cognitive diversity did not resulted in more critical reflective work behaviour within teams. Therefore the moderating role of diversity beliefs could not be examined. The promise of diversity could not be demonstrated and more research is needed to provide more insight in the reality of diversity. Future recommendations are made and practical implications for organisations are given. ····· 10361114200

The paradox of open source software: Why develop free software?

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Open source software is computer software like other software, however, unlike most software sold by private companies, open source software is distributed under a license that allows users to copy, modify and redistribute the source code. In contrast, a company like Microsoft imposes very strict licenses that outlaw copying, modifications and redistribution. Microsoft and other companies use strict licensing to protect their source of income if people are allowed to copy their software, how can they make money This gives rise to a central question: Why is open source software being developed This book tries to answer this very question by developing an theoretical model of open source software development. The model depends on the particular software license and three licenses are analyzed: GPL, BSD and Microsoft EULA. The model uses economic theory to explain the behaviour of developers and users and thereby their incentives. The analysis reveals that open-source software development can be explained through the development model and the personal incentives for developers. As more developers contribute to a programme, these effects are amplified and powerful incentives arise. ····· 10361113928

Comparative Study of Balanced Incomplete Block Designs

Randomized response technique has decades old history. Warner (1965) is the founder of this technique. Block total response technique is one of these methods that were initially proposed by Smith et al. (1974). Raghavarao and Federer (1979) used the theory of balanced incomplete block designs to determine the structure of the questionnaires in their block total response technique (symmetric designs). Smith and Street (2003) determined the best designs in terms of minimum variance used to estimate the proportions of 3 to 6 sensitive questions using the block total response procedure given a maximum total number of 13 questions. In this study, some new designs are explored for 3 to 6 sensitive questions given a maximum total number of 13 questions while extending the work of Smith and Street (2003) to estimate the proportion of population for 3 to 10 sensitive questions given a maximum total number of 25 questions. The proposed design for six sensitive questions has smaller variance than variance obtained from the un-matched count technique of Dalton et al. (1994). ····· 10361113925

This book reports on the outcome of a study aimed at explaining how members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Nigerian Medical Association, particularly those in state- employment, have come to choose strike action as means of dispute settlement. Alienation is proposed as a thematic explanation. The objective was to test Gouldner`s proposition that collective consciousness and action among intellectuals is not due to dimensions of alienation proposed by Marx and Engels in 1848 and amplified over a decade later by Blauner and Seeman it is the denial of the culture of critical discourse that stimulates collective action among intellectuals. The design was a national survey of 956 academics and medical doctor in state-owned universities and hospitals using multi-stage sampling, questionnaire, and in-depth interview of key informants and officials. The findings affirm a strong link between alienation and employee rebelliousness but debunk wholesale application of the traditional Marxist theory of working class alienation.

Wildlife is unique among natural resources that is owned by the public and administered by government. Much has been said and seen in the media about human-wildlife conflicts and evidenced by public demonstration in small scale agricultural environments. This book is a testimony of conflicts in Mbuvori sub location of Embu District, Kenya which explains the extent and types of damage caused by elephants that are the major crop pests in the area. The truth is that the perpetuated human wildlife conflicts have far reaching implications to the lives of the community. The very sad fact is that the community does not derive much benefits from revenue collected from wildlife. A major setback to the conservation and sustainable utilization of the nature resource. The study provides baseline information on impacts of elephants on crop production in the small scale farming systems in Mbuvori sub location. The information is useful to planners and policy makers for areas that are adjacent to conservation areas in designing effective methods of controlling the raiding elephants. There is need to share benefits arising from wildlife with communities. ····· 10361113875

This followed contentions that part of the Tanzanite`s sales had been used by Osama bin Laden to finance bombings on the USA Embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, and also on the World Trade Centre (WTC) and Pentagon in the USA. This investigation, exposes the covert behind the controversy including roles played by powerful politicians. The author, Sebastian Sanga, analyses the political and legal systems indicating how a syndicate of tycoons with vested interests, have been weakening mining and anticorruption policies to the extent of plunging the Tanzanite gemstone into Al-Qaeda link controversy. Before presenting his policy options towards addressing the challenges facing the Tanzanite industry, the author puts into picture the whole mining sector focusing on the impact of state-capture on this economic segment. The Tanzanite, which is believed to be second only to diamonds, is mined exclusively in Tanzania. ····· 10361113823
