Urban Food Insecurity and Coping Strategies in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The change in Zimbabwe`s national food security was dramatic. Until 2001, Zimbabwe had been largely food secure and self-sufficient. However, between 2002- 08, the country plunged into unprecedented recession and a national food crisis which left millions of its citizens--both urban and rural--relying on humanitarian assistance for survival. The multifaceted causes of this food insecurity and its effects on rural communities have been widely discussed in academic and policy platforms. What has been missing is an examination of the extent and impact of this food insecurity in urban settings. This book breaks new ground by examining urban food insecurity and attendant coping strategies employed by the working class and urban poor in Bulawayo townships. It further analyses the efficacy of state-driven responses to the national food emergency. Employment of social agency by the working class and urban poor against some state policies which infringed on their coping strategies is also explored. The political economy inspired analysis of this book should be useful to those interested in urban livelihoods, urban food and nutrition security. ····· 10361100901

Absolute and Relative Dating Methods in Prehistory

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This work challenges the claim that Hallan Çemi (near Batman in Southeastern Turkey) was occupied during the Epipaleolithic (11th millennium BP). While techno-typological analyses of some objects, chipped stone in particular, appear to place the site`s occupation within the 11th millennium, the iconography etched into ground stone and worked bone is too similar to much later sites nearby and in the Urfa Plain to ignore. Various descriptions of the site have been given, from Epipaleolithic to Aceramic Neolithic. This terminological discrepancy reflects not only on the problem of dating Hallan Çemi, but also on the larger issue of how one should describe the prehistory of Southeastern Anatolia. The latter problems are claimed to be the combined product of a) the relatively few sites within the region with which to contextualize Hallan Çemi and construct a local chrono-cultural scheme, and b) the related issue of imposing terminologies from other regions which may not be appropriate for Southeastern Anatolia. ····· 10361100851

This book assesses whether or not microcredit programs of FINCA International are empowering women clients and their households in Malawi and Zambia. The study set out to determine if any major changes, partial changes or no changes have occurred on women clients and their households, businesses and communities, because of clients` participation in FINCA program. Study participants were women clients under the Village Bank and Loan Officers. This book argues that the FINCA microcredit program has enabled women clients attain some important levels of empowerment, and improve their wellbeing. The program has also benefited clients` households, businesses, and communities. However, some clients have not benefited much from this program. It also argues that the FINCA program has not enabled women clients attain other levels of empowerment, due, in part, to its shortcomings, and challenges it is facing. It further contends that differing program impacts exist among clients, households and businesses but beneficiary communities have benefited similarly. It also unravels the workings of the current stiff competition and scramble for clients among MFIs in Malawi and Zambia. ····· 10361100662

Mumbai, like any other metropolis has been attracting a large number of migrants from different parts of the country. Presumably a significant proportion of these migrants are drawn from the lower socio-economic strata of the society. More than half of the population of Greater Mumbai is composed of the slum dwellers that live in tenements/huts, on pavements along railway track, under the bridges and in other spaces available to them. A study of six hundred and seventy six slum households spread over three selected slums of Mumbai city indicated that the slum dwellers have low socio-economic profile and are burdened with unhealthy living condition. The shoddy living conditions, improper life style and food habits make them prone to infectious diseases. The suffering is doubled because they neglect minor ailments. They never neglect their children s illness The Government should make concerted efforts to improve the sanitary and living condition of the slum dwellers which in turn will have impact on their children s well being. ····· 10361100269

Weaving Development

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Grassroots development projects have long sought to integrate local knowledge as they attempt to improve quality of life in impoverished communities. This ethnographic study examines the limits and possibilities of two common development goals within the context of the Asociación de Artesanos Andinos, a weaving cooperative based in Cochabamba, Bolivia, by looking at different ways cultural preservation and economic improvement are interpreted and the tensions between them. Cultural preservation provokes questions of continuity and challenges a static understanding of tradition that simplifies complex cultural practices. Economic improvement, although perceived to be stripping these practices of their significance and reducing textiles to a means for monetary gain, is essential to the sustainability of the organization because it provides incentives for participation. While these two goals seem to pull the cooperative in opposite directions, a nuanced analysis of the ways they are manifested in three weaving villages shows that they in fact support one another through a discourse of difference that fosters flexibility and ultimately strengthens the organization. ····· 10361100254

Counseling Children of Incarcerated Parents

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Children of incarcerated parents are often forgotten as victims of crime. The ambiguous loss of a parent to incarceration can be a difficult process, made more so by general reluctance to share the fact of an incarceration with peers or adults outside of the family. Studies show the effects of parental incarceration to be overwhelmingly negative, both in school and afterwards. Children may develop and exhibit external or internal behavioral issues. My study is a content analysis of books used by counselors and teachers of children of the incarcerated. Through such analysis, the most frequently used mechanisms and strategies were discovered. By also regarding the use of play therapy in counseling children, this study could lead to the creation of new methods to be tested for use with children of incarcerated parents. Children are most often taught about the emotions they may be experiencing regarding the trauma of a parent s incarceration and the importance of building strong relationships within the family and with others. This study shows the impact that the mechanisms of counseling have on children of incarcerated parent s future development. ····· 10361100150

Managerial Information Needs

There is a wealth of research on the development of libraries in this internet era, particularly regarding information retrieval and technical considerations. However, little has focused on how information is sought and transformed into knowledge and how this should influence library design and use. The libraries are not simply collections of print and digital versions of existing resources and in fact these valuable information resources procured in the library should be useful to people who use them. Research on faculty and research scholars indicates that they are increasingly able to use digital resources even though they are not necessarily information literacy of students. Questionnaire method has been adopted for collection of data from the teaching faculty and research scholars of Management institutes. This research examines and analyses how management faculty and research scholars gather and use information individually and collectively, and how they share their work across geographic boundaries. The recommendations emerging from this study form the basis for best practice guidelines for developing a future management library. This book is useful to the librarians. ····· 1036199987
