Globalisation and the Mother Tongue in Uganda

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Western education, introduced in Uganda during the 19th century, was synonymous with the English language. At the dawn of the 21st century, however, government has adopted a policy that aims to place native languages at the centre of basic (primary) education. Challenges abound though. Mother tongue teachers, literature and basic instructional materials are largely nonexistent. Citizens are used to an education that encouraged learning through and knowledge of English. Migration, intermarriages, and urbanisation have mingled people of diverse origins to disorient their mother tongues. Increased exposure to worldwide affairs has persuaded the community that, as members of a globalised world`, they ought to be introduced to a global language` early in life.They do not know a country that has successfully implemented multilingualism. This book highlights the need for policy makers, curriculum developers, linguists and educationists to embrace participatory planning approaches to derive wider stakeholder input, consensus, ownership and long-term support of public programmes. ····· 10361116153

Appropriate livelihoods is a great challenge for the visually challenged person and it is compounded if they belong to rural areas. Very little scope has been available for them in each aspects of life like environment friendly education system, appropriate vocational training etc. In India scopes of finding avenues of livelihoods for the disabled people is very limited.

This may be education, vocational training or any other socio-economic arena the challenges for the disable people especially for those from rural areas are multi-faceted. At this out set an institution namely Tata Agriculture & Rural Training Centre for the Blind (TACEB) is constantly making efforts since 1960 to build the capacity of the blind people to take up agriculture and allied activities as their mainstay and also successfully resettled thousands blind people in different rural locations. This book would be a good reference for different development organisation those who are working with the blind people, vocational institutions who continue courses for the blind people and of course government departments. ····· 10361116080

Construals of Stress and Well-being in Women with Breast Cancer

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The research study is an endeavour to look at the lives of women with breast cancer.The construct of stress and well-being were explored from multiple perspectives. The study delineates the stressors as perceived by women, and its implications on their sense of well-being. Research has indicated an inextricable chemical link between our emotions, stress in our lives, and the regulatory mechanisms of endocrine and immune systems. This research study emphasizes the importance of expressing our emotions and releasing tensions. Inappropriate storing of stressful emotions results in internal weakening of the immune system, which has a significant potential for the onset of the disease.The science of Psychoneuroimmunology presents enough evidence about the communication link that exists between the mind and the body. The bio-medical approach has certainly made amazing advances, but its limitation lies in not capitalizing on an individual`s emotional well-being from a humanistic approach.A paradigmatic shift is required in the way by which the medical fraternity deals with cure especially for an illness like cancer, in which the treatment is as dreaded as the disease. ····· 10361115831

EXISTING SOCIO-MEDICO AND LEGAL SUPPORTIVE MECHANISMS TO RAPE VICTIMS

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
It is necessary to provide relief and protection to women against misuse and abuse of law and to prevent their exploitation.The first Bill of Rights for women was laid out (in the Quaranic Chapter on Women Al-Nisa and Other Quaranic Chapters/verses), nearly fourteen hundred years ago. In fact, women`s roles and responsibilities as engendered in Islam, accord them a high status in the family and society.For years, women in Pakistan have been severely disadvantaged and discriminated against. They have been denied the enjoyment of a whole range of rights - economic, social, civil and political rights and often deprivation in one of these areas has entailed discrimination in another. Women, who have been denied social rights including the right to education, are more easily abused in the family and community and are more likely to be deprived of the right to legal redress. Often abuses are compounded poor girls and women are trafficked and subject to forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work situations such as bonded labor. In all of these situations they are likely to be mentally, physically and sexually abused, again without having the wherewithal to obtain justice. ····· 10361115685

Sectarianism in Scottish Society

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The aim of this thesis is to discover whether the popular reaction to Neil Lennon provides evidence of sectarianism in Scottish football and within wider Scottish society. It begins by introducing the academic debate surrounding the issue of sectarianism in Scotland, before reviewing chosen literature on the subject. Three main areas were studied in relation to sectarianism in Scottish society: the history and construction of sectarianism in Scottish society, the history of Celtic Football Club and the Irish influence at Celtic and otherness`. From the literature, four areas for questioning were developed: sectarianism in modern-day Scottish society the role of football clubs in representing separate communities the notion of the 90-minute-bigot and the Irish- Catholic community in Scotland. Further research was then carried out through interviewing ten participants. The study then presents the results and theories that were developed, concluding with the contention that Neil Lennon was indeed a victim of sectarianism, and how this reflects a distinct sectarian dimension to wider Scottish society. ····· 10361115666

Agricultural Extension Approach

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Pakistan is a developing country and agriculture is the mainstay of its economy. About 67.5% of country`s population living in rural areas is directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. It provides employment to more than 48% of country`s work force. This sector not only fulfills the human food and animal feed requirements of the country but also provides raw material to its agro-based industries. In the foreign trade, it is agriculture, which dominates through exports of raw commodities like rice, cotton and fruits semi processed and processed products like cotton yarn, cloth, carpets and leather products. To improve agricultural production through effective dissemination of agricultural technology, various extension approaches have been tried from time to time including commodity specialized approach. The present study was designed to investigate into the working of commodity specialized extension approach followed by sugar mills in Faisalabad. ····· 10361115596

Poverty and Food Security in the Sudan

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This study empirically investigated food security in Sudan. To capture the central role that accessibility to food plays in food security, we have adopted a definition of food insecurity that operationalizes Sen`s (1981) entitlement approach, namely that a country suffers from a food insecurity problem if poverty is increasing over time irrespective of what happens to food supply. Hence, Both the poverty gap and Sen`s measures are consistent with the entitlement definition of food insecurity. Using Jorgenson`s (1961) idea of viability we developed a procedure for estimating an income poverty line necessary for food and non-food consumption. Results obtained suggest that all measures of poverty have exhibited an upward trend over the period 1978 1993. However, the rate of increase in poverty is much more pronounced during the sub-period 1978-1986, which witnessed the adoption of the IMF policy package. The policy implications of these results suggest that increasing food output should go hand in hand with seeking ways and means of raising households real incomes. Policy options that aim at making the poor productive members of the society are recommended ····· 10361115470

MOB JUSTICE

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Mob justice is a situation where a crowd of people take the law into their own hands and punish an alleged criminal on the spot, often ending with the victim being beaten to death or seriously injured. After we witnessed a mob justice situation in Uganda we wanted to increase our knowledge and understanding of the mob justice phenomenon and examine how it can be prevented. Not much academic literature exists on this topic. We conducted our research in Uganda using two qualitative methods of collecting empirical data focus group discussions and interviews. The conclusions of our study show that mob justice is a complex phenomenon and the major causes lie on a structural level in the Ugandan society. The judicial system plays an important role as well as structural issues attached to a lower social class. The group psychological mechanisms in a mob group are also connected to structural issues. All of these structural concerns create a tension that, under certain circumstances, results in mob justice. As ways of preventing mob justice the respondents discuss several structural changes as well as sensitization in collaboration with different professional and public actors. ····· 10361115342

Changing Pattern in Breastfeeding among Migrants

Despite the good knowledge and practices among the Nepalese migrant women, the breastfeeding practices particularly exclusive breastfeeding were found low. A good knowledge on colostrum, breast milk and their feeding was found in almost all the women however the practices ware found very low to high. Emotional attachment was much emphasised, as the cause of breastfeeding. It was lower than the average exclusive breastfeeding rate of Nepalese women in Nepal. Emotional attachment i.e. the affectionate relationship, with the baby of the mother played important role to breastfeed but economic condition and the compulsion of the work compelled the mothers to quit exclusive breastfeeding or breastfeeding at all. Cultural beliefs were very strong among the Nepalese families about the breastfeeding some of them discouraged breastfeeding. Beside hospitals, health practitioners, and breastfeeding related organisations and family members also could be an effective means to encourage mothers to breastfeed. ····· 10361115246

The Role of Social Capital in Technology Adoption by Small farmers

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
There is increasing interest in social capital as an additional resource for economic development. This is because social capital can facilitate the flow of information and reduce transaction costs that is critical for agricultural development in developing economies. However, there is scanty information on the role of social capital in agricultural development and its determinants among agricultural households.The study summarized in this monograph elaborates that social capital has a role in crop production decisions of Ugandan farmers but the nature of its productivity is conditioned by other factors. The study finds that household membership in associations influences use of improved banana production management practices but the structure of participation and characteristics of those associations such as managerial capacity of leaders matter. Household membership in associations and social networks is influenced by household wealth, education, institutional environment and social heterogeneity of the community. ····· 10361115225

This work is situated in context of apparent dichotomy between motherhood and war. The research explores how Maoist women managed motherhood alongside the armed conflict waged by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-CPN). Examination of Maoist women`s motherhood experiences shows that they experienced motherhood as resonating between two different patriarchal structures: the CPN (Maoist) party and Nepali society. As they negotiated motherhood, they developed a series of strategies to reconcile contradictory pressures on their mothering practices. ····· 10361114520

The findings on this study show that: often it`s claimed that intergovernmental organizations are good at reaching the poor. This claim has been heralded by government practitioners. The local people who were consulted indicated that although there were significant benefits to the poor, yet such levels of benefits were varied from communities to communities. Their analysis was premised on the lacking of adequate productive assets such as access credit, land, education services, never the less the NUSAF presence and support to the communities was widely appreciated by the communities living in the Sub- County. From the findings it was interesting to the researcher to know that NUSAF has not managed to put up strong and logical mechanisms to bring to the targeted group information about its operations which remains a challenge to the project implementation. Given that the main source of income is from agricultural produce, and the land available to the communities is that small, it is necessary to consider high yielding high value crops for food and income. ····· 10361114480

Various African governments have adopted various policies with the conviction that land tenure can be a mechanism through which the goals of ensuring equity growth and development.Common state land tenure strategies include land title registration programmes which are often not only in tune with local peoples culture and saddled with various implementation problems but also makes its process inaccessible to the poor and vulnerable groups. However, making land tenure a tool for achieving the above development requirements needs the appreciation of the complexity of the African tenure systems which require equal complex tenure solutions that can be tailored to respond to the cultural and economic demands at multiple levels. This has led to Ghana`s adoption and implementation of Land Administration Program (LAP). With the use of multiple case studies, this book provides contextual lenses for one to critically assess the suitability of Ghana`s LAP among two other land tenure options for disadvantaged groups in northern Ghana especially. It would be especially of immense value to students and professionals in land administration and poverty reduction. ····· 10361114310

ROAD TO RECOVERY

It is common knowledge that the use of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS) is very destructive and many people find it too difficult to quit their addiction, especially for a developing country like Cambodia, where effective drug addiction treatment is limited by the small number of skilled professionals. This book, rather than focusing on the detrimental aspects of drugs, provides an in-depth study of the experiences of former male adolescent drug users, aged between 18 and 25 years, on the road to recovery from drug addiction through non-specialized treatment agencies. This term refers to any other kind of treatment, not through a lengthy and extensive help from hospitals, clinics or rehabilitation centers. It could be either through a self-treatment/medication or through help from families, relatives, religious institutions or through multiple methods. This book, more importantly, shows the reasons why these former male adolescent drug users decide on a turning point and the available means and strategies that they use in order to successfully quit drug dependency. ····· 10361114183
