ABSTRAKNelayan di Desa Toniku Kabupaten Halmahera Barat, awalnya menggunakan bagan perahu untuk menangkap ikan teri Stolephorus sp. sebagai umpan perikanan pole and line, akan tetapi pada saat ini banyak tertangkap selain teri yaitu juvenil dan larva ikan, ini permasalahan yang perlu dikaji komposisi tangkapan dari bagan perahu. Tujuan penelitian  adalah  menganalisis komposisi tangkapan, by-cacth, discard, dan aspek ekonomi. Penelitian  dilaksanakan di perairan desa Toniku Kabupaten Halmahera Barat, dari tanggal 1 sampai 9 Juni 2018. Metode penelitian adalah metode survei. Obyek penelitian yaitu ikan hasil tangkapan bagan perahu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tangkapan bagan perahu didominasi oleh ikan target tangkap, yaitu; ikan teri (Stolephorus sp) sebesar 86,295%, tangkapan sampingan  12,335% dan tangkapan yang dibuang 1,370%. Tangkapan sampingan didominasi ikan  peperek (Leiognatus sp) yaitu 5,575%. Nilai keuntungan Usaha bagan perahu sebesar Rp 93.047.200,00/tahun dengan B/C ratio 2,96. Berdasarkan perbandingan antara target tangkap dengan by-catch dan discard, bagan perahu di Desa Toniku Kabupaten Halmahera Barat dikategorikan alat tangkap ramah lingkungan dan secara finansial menguntungkan dan layak dikembangkan (berkelanjutan). Walaupun discard rate pada bagan perahu rendah namun usaha-usaha untuk meminimumkan tetap perlu dilakukan. Salah satu usaha yang bisa dilakukan adalah sortir, dan hasil tangkapan yang tidak memiliki nilai ekonomis dibuang ke laut dalam keadaan masih hidup. ABSTRACTFishermen in Toniku Village, West Halmahera Regency, initially used a boat lift net to catch anchovy Stolephorus sp. As bait for pole and line fisheries, but at this time many were caught besides anchovy, namely juvenile and fish larvae, these are problems that need to be studied from the boat lift net. The study objective was to analyze the composition of catchs, by-catch, discard, and economic aspects. The research was carried out in the waters of Toniku village, West Halmahera Regency, from June 1 to 9, 2018. The study method is the survey method. The object of the research is the fish catch by the boat lift net. The study results show the catch of the boat's lift net was dominated by main catch, namely; anchovy (Stolephorus sp) is 86.295%, by-catch 12.335% and discard 1.370%. The bay-catch  is dominated by peperek (Leiognatus sp) which is 5.575%. Value of the boat lift net business profit of Rp. 93,047,200.00/year with B/C ratio 2.96. Based on the comparison between catch targets and by-catch and discard, the boat lift net in Toniku Village, West Halmahera Regency is categorized as environmentally friendly and financially profitable and feasible (sustainable) fishing gear. Although the discard rate on the boat chart is low, efforts to minimize it still need to be done. One effort that can be done is sorting, and catches that have no economic value are dumped into the sea while still alive.

Sabang coastal bay becomes the area of significance where the development centered in the semi-enclosed area. Sabang Bay is well-known as the center of marine economy (Aquaculture, Harbor, and marine tourism). Recently, there is a planning initiated by Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) to install the floating fish cage aquaculture (KJA) in the offshore area of Sabang Bay which the planning becomes a controversy between local people, local government, and researchers as well. This study aims to evaluate and discuss the impacts that will be happened if KJA is applied. Field surveys on hydro-oceanography aspects were done measuring currents, tides, waves, winds, bathymetry, water quality, as well as tourism condition. Based on those hydro-oceanography conditions, Sabang Bay categorized into calm water area where the sea current is weak (ranging from 0-0.12 m/s), whilst the high values of pH, salinity, and temperature are identified within the bay during low tidal condition. If KJA is installed within the bay, automatically it will pollute the water due to the accumulation of remaining fish feeder wastes. Moreover, within the bay, there are several attractive marine tourisms such as diving sites, the conservation area of Sophie Rickmers shipwreck site, and hot bubble (fumaroles hydrothermal vent). The presence of KJA will possibly disrupt marine tourism activities so that the implementation of KJA needs to be considered the impacts before installation.
Propiedades físicas del suelo y su relación con la plasticidad en un sistema bajo labranza tradicional y no labranza

Published: April 2019

Los sistemas de labranza generan cambios sobre las propiedades del suelo, como la distribución del tamaño de partículas (DTP), estructura y contenido de materia orgánica (MO), lo que a su vez altera la plasticidad (límites de Atterberg), propiedad que brinda información sobre el comportamiento mecánico del suelo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar las relaciones entre los límites de Atterberg, la DTP y el contenido de MO en un suelo bajo labranza tradicional (LT) y no labranza (NL). Las muestras fueron tomadas de la capa superficial del suelo. Para ambas parcelas se determinó el limite liquido (LL), limite plástico (LP), índice de plasticidad (IP), contenido de MO y DTP. La NL presentó una mayor proporción de macroagregados con respecto a microagregados en comparación con la LT (89.16 y 85.59% respectivamente). No hubo diferencias significativas (p< 0.05) en el contenido de MO entre tratamientos, siendo mayor para LT (4.2%) con respecto a NL (4.1%), como resultado de que bajo el sistema de NL existe una rotación de cultivos que disminuye el residuo superficial, mientras que bajo la LT se realiza la incorporación de los residuos de cosecha. El LL e IP presento correlación con el contenido de arcilla (0.6 y 0.4 respectivamente), pero no para el contenido de MO y contrario a lo que indica la literatura. Se concluye que el contendido de MO por sí mismo, no es un indicador suficiente de los límites de Atterberg, por lo que se recomienda que para próximas investigaciones se determine el grado de descomposición, calidad y disposición de la MO respecto a las partículas minerales de la matriz del suelo.

Published: April 2019

La tipificación de productores es importante para el diseño, implementación y aplicación eficiente de políticas, programas y estrategias dirigidas a grupos específicos. Los agricultores de Pinos, Zacatecas tienen como principal fuente de ingreso económico el cultivo de tuna. Estos productores reciben apoyos económicos gubernamentales; sin embargo, los beneficios no se han visto reflejados en el adecuado desarrollo y productividad de sus huertas. Con la finalidad de que dichos apoyos se distribuyan priorizando las necesidades de los productores, se planteó identificar las formas de producir tuna basadas en la edad y actividades de los productores y en las relaciones de apoyo que establecen. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta a 38 productores en noviembre de 2014. Mediante un análisis multivariado, una correlación de variables y un análisis de componentes principales (CP) se determinaron grupos de productores con características distintivas. Se generaron 10 tipos de productores de tuna (r2 de 0.69) basadas en 4 CP: la edad y el ingreso por cultivar tuna son las variables más determinantes (25% de la variación), el rendimiento de tuna (17%), el ingreso por una actividad complementaria (15%) y la relación con socios en la producción (12%). Se identificaron como necesidades prioritarias para el desarrollo de la actividad tunera, incrementar el rendimiento de producción, así como crear y fortalecer vínculos con productores locales y foráneos. La tipificación de productores permite priorizar y agilizar la distribución de apoyos a los grupos más vulnerables. Es prioridad diseñar estrategias que mejoren la productividad y calidad de la tuna y ampliar su comercialización.
ENTOMOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF LUMPY SKIN DISEASE EPIZOOTOLOGY (REVIEW)
Authors: Pestova Ya. E. , Kononov A. V. , Sprygin A. V.
Published: April 2019

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a serious threat to the global cattle farming, including that in the Russian Federation where the frst outbreak was reported in 2015. Since the disease occurred for the frst time, it has continued to spread in this country; however, virus transmission mechanisms have not yet been studied. Transmission through insect bites is considered to be the most likely mechanism of virus shortrange transmission. At present, such arthropod species as stable ﬂy (Stomoxysсalcitrans), Aedes aegyptimosquitoes, as well asAmblyomma hebraeumandRhipicephalus appendiculatusticks are regarded as potential vectors. Viral DNA has also been detected on the exoskeletons of house ﬂies (Musca domestica). The available literature describes the results of many studies on the role of arthropods in LSD virus spread, but the data presented are inconsistent and do not provide an unambiguous answer concerning the level of signifcance of potential LSD virus vectors in the progression of the feld epizootic. These papers investigate the ability of gadﬂies, ﬂies and ticks to act as mechanical vectors. Currently, there is no unequivocal viewpoint with respect to the proved LSD vector. This paper reviews the entomological papers aimed at studying possible LSD virus transmission by arthropods.

The paper presents the results of monitoring tests performed in the FGBI “ARRIAH” Branch in 2018 to detect AIV circulation in the Republic of Crimea. As AIVs are most frequently detected in aquatic and semiaquatic birds wild waterfowl present the greatest threat of the disease introduction and spread. That’s why the paper gives special attention to the Azov Sea and Sivash water area and describes natural biotopes of the Central and Eastern Sivash. During expeditions biological material samples were collected, bird species were identified and bird fauna was estimated in waterfowl aggregation sites. Laboratory PCR tests of the biological material collected during the expedition as well from killed birds and poultry revealed no AIV type A. As the number of wildfowl in the their usual aggregation sites decreased due to the fact that fresh water supply through the North-Crimean Canal ceased it can be assumed that the Crimean peninsula will manage to maintain HPAI freedom despite the fact that the disease is being reported close to the peninsula. Nevertheless, the threat of the virus introduction to the commercial and backyard farm stocks still exists as the peninsula is located in the bird migration routes and AI epidemical monitoring is a topical task.

Published: April 2019

A decrease in therapeutic eﬀect of some live lacto- and bifdobacteria-based drugs for veterinary use has been observed for the last 20 years that urges scientists to search for new microorganisms possessing probiotic properties. Many studies in this feld are focused onBacillus subtilisthat is widespread in the environment and non-pathogenic for animals and humans. Results of tests ofBacillus subtilisfor its biological properties and antagonistic activity aimed at optimization of methodical approaches for detection of strain with the highest antagonistic eﬀect on some opportunistic microorganisms and their further use as probiotics are described. Cultural morphological and biochemical characteristics of the tested strains conformed to the species characteristics ofBacillus subtilis.Tested strains were nonpathogenic for white mice. Tests showed that spore biomass could be prepared both in liquid and on solid nutrient media. Methodically, spore biomass preparation in liquid nutrient medium is preferable. The tests showed that spores emerged from anabiosis non-uniformly and it depended on original seed spore storage period. Spore cultures stored less than one year emerged from anabiosis more quickly. It was found that the spores formed more readily when the cultures were aerated with oxygen as well as that lag-phase culture medium had a stimulating eﬀect onBacillus subtilisspore germination.Bacillus subtilisstrains were found to have antagonistic eﬀect onEscherichia coli, SalmonellaandStaphylococcus. Area of growth inhibition of the said bacteria was 15–20 mm. TestedBacillus subtilisstrains could be proposed for use as probiotics.

O risco e a construção de subjetividades crônicas e punitivas na contemporaneidade
Authors: Vaz Paulo Roberto
Published: April 2019

Em entrevista à Reciis, Paulo Vaz desenvolve uma reflexão do conceito de risco sob o eixo central que inspira seus estudos: a construção e reconfigurações das subjetividades na modernidade e no contemporâneo. Inspirado pelo pensamento dos filósofos Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze, Vaz discute que a noção de risco articulada às práticas de saúde produz sujeitos, práticas e coletividade que desejam e criam técnicas de um cuidado crônico, cujo sentido da vida é se proteger do risco para se distanciar da morte. Na área da segurança pública, aborda que os riscos de criminalidade continuam a instaurar o medo na sociedade contemporânea ao ponto de ações autoritárias e repressoras voltarem a emergir como solução para se ter uma sociedade segura.

Published: April 2019

The article analyzes the current state of the irrigation and drainage systems of the Ryazan region. It is shown that the lack of technical operation of the drainage network led to its failure and failure to perform its functions. Irrigation, in spite of the fact that it gives stability in the years of droughts due to aging and the dismantling of machinery and equipment is not carried out. It is shown that for the reconstruction and / or modernization of irrigation and drainage systems it is necessary on the basis of inventory to determine the environmentally optimal and economically viable systems, their parts and structures that require rehabilitation, reconstruction and / or modernization. The decision to reconstruct may include not only the ameliorative system as a whole, but also some part of it, for example, a canal, pipeline or a separate hydraulic structure, taking into account the justification of economic feasibility. In dry periods, for the Meshcherskaya lowland and areas with peat soils, it is necessary to provide for land-reclamation systems for dual regulation of soil moisture, which reduces the possibility of peat ignition and the spread of fire. It should be borne in mind that the reconstruction of land-reclamation systems has its specific features, which include: socio-economic (increasing the productivity of agricultural land, obtaining additional income, creating modern infrastructure, increasing employment, living conditions, labor, etc.) ; ecological (creation of cultural landscapes, ensuring their ecological sustainability, prevention of land degradation processes, improvement of recreational conditions, elimination of waterlogging, flooding, salinization, erosion, etc.). Reclamation activities are carried out in compliance with the requirements of land, water, forestry legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as the legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of the environment, on the subsurface, on the plant world and on the animal world.

Published: April 2019

Data on the resistance of the strawberry varieties to the above diseases are presented in the article. Many modern strawberry varieties having a high level of commercial characters are susceptible to diseases. White and brown leaf spots are the most harmful diseases in the conditions of Orelregion. With mass infection of strawberry plants, pathogens can affect up to 90% of the leaf mass. The aim of the studies was to evaluate the strawberry varieties for resistance to white and brown leaf spots and identify the most promising varieties for the further breeding. 41 domestic and foreign strawberry varieties have been studied. Currently, the main preventive measures against diseases are the selection of resistant varieties, the use of healthy planting material, as well as the control of leaf infections with fungicides before and after harvest. As a result of the studies, the most resistant varieties to white and brown leaf spots have been identified: Bogema, Bereginya, Rosinka and Krymskaya Rannia which are mostly promising for cultivation in the Central Chernozem region. The strawberry varieties Jonsok, NF 311, Sara, Marmolada, Sonata, Civ 64, Rubin and Frida were susceptible to white and brown leaf spots during three years with the degree of damage 3 points.
Omuz Distosisi: Ebelik Eğitim ve Uygulamalarındaki Yeri
Authors: ŞENOĞLU Ayşe , KARAÇAM Zekiye
Published: April 2019

Omuz
distosisi, tüm doğumların yaklaşık %0,15-2,0'ında görülen, ciddi maternal ve
neonatal komplikasyonlara neden olan tahmin edilemeyen ve önlenemeyen acil
obstetrik bir durumdur. Omuz distosisinin saptanması ve yönetimi, ileri düzey
ebelik ve obstetri bilgi ve becerisi gerektirdiği için ebelik eğitim ve
uygulamalarında yer alan önemli bir konudur. Literatüre dayalı olarak
hazırlanan bu çalışmanın amacı, omuz distosisi ve yönetimi ile ilgili güncel
bilgilerin paylaşılmasını sağlamaktır. Omuz distosisi fetus başının doğumundan
sonra, omuzların doğumunda başarısızlık olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu durum fetüsün
omuz boyutu ile pelvis girişi arasındaki uyumsuzluk sonucu ortaya çıkabilir, ön
ya da arka omuzun takılması şeklinde gelişebileceği gibi her iki omuzda da
görülebilir. Fetal makrozomi, omuz distosisinin en önemli risk faktörü olarak
gösterilmektedir. Omuz distosisi, yeterli teknik bilgi ve beceriye sahip ebe ve
doktorlar tarafından uygun yaklaşımların seçimi ve kullanılması ile başarılı
bir biçimde yönetilebilir. Literatürde omuz distosisinin yönetiminde kullanılan
manevraların birincil, ikincil ve üçüncül olarak tanımlandığı, en yaygın olarak
McRoberts, Rubin, Wood ve Gaskin manevralarının kullanıldığı bildirilmektedir.
Ancak etkinlik ve güvenlik bakımından hiçbir manevranın tek başına bir diğerine
göre üstünlüğü bulunmamaktadır. Hangi müdahalenin kullanılacağı, doğuma yardım
eden sağlık çalışanının bilgi, tercih ve deneyimine bağlı olarak değişebilir.
Ancak yapılan müdahalenin en az invazivden başlanarak daha invazive doğru
olması gerekmektedir. Sonuç olarak, omuz distosinin öngörülemeyen ve önlenemeyen,
çok ciddi maternal ve neonatal sonuçları olan önemli bir durum olduğu,
önlenmesi, erken tanısı ve yönetiminde sistematik bir yaklaşımın kullanılması
gerektiği anlaşılmaktadır. Ebelere simülasyon eğitimi yolu ile omuz
distosisinin yönetimi konusundaki beceri kazandırılması ya da mevcut bilgi ve
becerilerinin iyileştirilmesi ve sürecin yönetimine ilişkin kanıta dayalı bir
standardizasyonun oluşturulması ile daha iyi sonuçlar elde edilebilir.
Do research misbehaviours differ between disciplinary fields? A mixed methods study among academic researchers in Amsterdam
Authors: Haven Tamarinde Laura , Tijdink Joeri K. , Pasman H.Roeline , Widdershoven Guy , Bouter Lex
Published: April 2019

Background: There is increasing evidence that research misbehaviour is common, especially the minor forms. Previous studies on research misbehaviour primarily focused on biomedical and social sciences, and evidence in the natural sciences and humanities is scarce. We investigated whether the importance of particular research misbehaviours, as perceived by researchers in their respective disciplines, varies across disciplinary fields. Methods: We used a mixed methods explanatory quantitative first design. First, survey participants from 4 disciplinary fields rated perceived frequency and impact of research misbehaviours from a list of 60. We then combined these into a top 5 ranking of most important research misbehaviours, stratified by disciplinary field. Second, in focus group interviews participants from each academic rank and disciplinary field were asked to reflect on the most important research misbehaviours for their disciplinary field. We used participative ranking methodology pressing participants to obtain consensus on which research misbehaviours are most important. Results: The survey response rate was 15%. Between 3 and 8 researchers participated per focus group. Insufficient supervision consistently ranked highest in the survey regardless of disciplinary field and the focus groups confirmed this. Important themes in the focus groups were insufficient supervision, sloppy science, and sloppy peer review. Biomedical researchers and social science researchers were primarily concerned with sloppy science and insufficient supervision. Natural sciences and humanities researchers discussed sloppy reviewing and theft of ideas by reviewers, a form of plagiarism. Focus group participants further provided examples of particular research misbehaviours they were confronted with and how these impacted their work as a researcher.Conclusion: Academic researchers considered insufficient supervision and a variety of sloppy science examples the most important research misbehaviours. Research misbehaviour that involved the stealing of ideas and misconduct in the review process, which were absent in the initial list of 60, were identified as additional research misbehaviours. Future research should investigate the relevance and importance of these added research misbehaviours.

A researcher is said to be productive after publishing their findings. The analysis of the Science and Technology Index portal, called SINTA, shows the productivity of researchers of private higher education institutions lecturers in Kopertis Region XII Maluku and North Maluku is still very low. The ranking of private higher education institutions in Kopertis Region XII compared with other universities in Indonesia further strengthens the opinion. This research aimed to determine the factors influencing the research productivity of private higher education institutions lecturers in Kopertis Region XII. The method used was an online survey on 155 samples of lecturers in Maluku and North Maluku. The data obtained were analyzed statistically descriptive. The results showed that individual and institutional factors influence research productivity. Individually, the most prominent driving factor is the perception of the function and benefits of research for human life, while the smallest one is the desires to be famous and financial benefits. The most significant inhibiting factor is the limited cost of research and publication, while the lowest is the motivation to research and publish. Institutionally, library facilities are deemed inadequate, thus contributing less to the increase of research productivity.
Comparability of Mortality Estimates from Social Surveys and Vital Statistics Data in the United States
Authors: Brown Dustin C , Lariscy Joseph , Kalousova Lucie
Published: April 2019

Social surveys prospectively linked with death records provide invaluable opportunities for the study of the relationship between social and economic circumstances and mortality. Although survey-linked mortality files play a prominent role in U.S. health disparities research, it is unclear how well mortality estimates from these datasets align with one another and whether they are comparable with U.S. vital statistics data. We conduct the first study that systematically compares mortality estimates from several widely-used survey-linked mortality files and U.S. vital statistics data. Our results show that mortality rates and life expectancies from the National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality Files, Health and Retirement Study, Americans’ Changing Lives study, and U.S. vital statistics data are similar. Mortality rates are slightly lower and life expectancies are slightly higher in these linked datasets relative to vital statistics data. Compared with vital statistics and other survey-linked datasets, General Social Survey-National Death Index life expectancy estimates are much lower at younger adult ages and much higher at older adult ages. Cox proportional hazard models regressing all-cause mortality risk on age, gender, race, educational attainment, and marital status conceal the issues with the General Social Survey-National Death Index that are observed in our comparison of absolute measures of mortality risk. We provide recommendations for researchers who use survey-linked mortality files.

Authors: Sharma Laxmi Kanta
Published: April 2019

The employment generation from Pokhara as an established tourism destination in Nepal carries special significance in evaluating economic impact. This study aims to explore female employment status and influencing factors for the participation of women in tourism at Pokhara. A total of 250 respondents were sampled from ten tourism enterprises and ten in-depth interviews were conducted in order to gather primary data. Demographic factors such as age and marital status; socio-economic factors like educational level, work environment have been identified as independent variables that might have effect on women’s level of participation. The findings reveled that women’s participation in managerial position is low (31%) comparing to the operative level (69%). About 75 percent of employed women are moderately satisfied indicating the urgent need of improvement in working environment. The percentage of women employment lies only between minimum 20 to maximum 45 percent indicating the urgent need of trainings and skill development on women. The training on women has been found a noteworthy impacting factor for employment creation. The outcome of the study has positive implication on policy formulation for women employment in tourism sector.

Published: April 2019

Background: Treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures is often challenging and no single technique has been unanimously advocated. Open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws allows better restoration of anatomical alignment but with more soft tissue complication. Simultaneous fixation of the fibula is not universally carried out. This study aims at evaluation of the outcome of plating technique and the effect of fixation of fibula fracture in treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures.

Material and methods: Thirty-one cases (14 cases in Group A with concomitant distal fibula fracture and 17 cases in Group B without distal fibula fracture) were analyzed retrospectively for the mean duration of full weight bearing, mean union time and complications, and compared.

Results: The mean time for full weight bearing and radiological union in our study was 14.2 weeks (15.9 in Group A and 13.1 in Group B) and 23.8 weeks (26.6 in Group A and 21.5 in Group B) respectively. 16.1% of cases had post-operative complications including one case of deep infection and malalignment of 6 degree varus (following delayed union) was seen in one case of Group A. Range of motion (ROM) at ankle was not problem in any of the cases except the one delayed union which had 5 degrees of dorsiflexion and 15 degrees of plantiflexion.

Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws in distal tibial metaphyseal fracture is more economic means of treatment modality with comparable incidence of post-union malalignment and union time,though more soft tissue complications compared to other modalities. Fixation of fibula fracture aids in reducing the incidence of malalignment.
Digging for Rights: How Can International Human Rights Law Better Protect Indigenous Women from Extractive Industries?
Authors: Morales Sarah
Published: April 2019

L’expansion des industries extractives dans les territoires des peuples autochtones a été et continue d’être un processus éprouvant pour les gouvernements, l’industrie et les peuples autochtones du monde entier. Bien que les avantages économiques liés au développement des ressources soient substantiels, on donne trop souvent priorité à ces considérations au lieu de voir les effets profonds et durables des répercussions pour les collectivités, sur le plan social et culturel, en particulier pour les nations autochtones. La recherche a démontré que ces répercussions sont aggravées quand les personnes se trouvent à la croisée de plusieurs collectivités, comme c’est le cas pour les femmes autochtones. Dans le présent article, on se demandera si les lois internationales concernant les droits de la personne peuvent ou non protéger efficacement les femmes et les filles autochtones contre les effets négatifs du développement de l’industrie extractive. En réfléchissant au droit à l’autodétermination, tel qu’il est présenté dans la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, l’auteure soutient qu’à notre époque d’extraction croissante, la meilleure façon pour faire en sorte que les lois internationales protègent les droits des femmes autochtones est de prévoir un mécanisme qui rendra opérationnelles les lois et les coutumes autochtones. Pour cela, il faut faire de la place aux femmes autochtones dans les processus de consultation afin qu’elles y partagent leur savoir et qu’elles puissent en influencer réellement le cours. La promotion des droits procéduraux des femmes autochtones est la meilleure façon d’assurer la protection de leurs droits substantiels corolaires.
Réglementation des activités extractives et protection des droits de l’enfant à travers une approche féministe
Authors: Paré Mona
Published: April 2019

Age and gender are generally ignored in efforts to prevent violations of human rights in the context of the mining industry. Neither the guidelines adopted at the international level, nor the internal policies of transnational corporations pay much attention to issues related to age and gender, thus leaving women and children without proper protection in the face of violations directly or indirectly caused by extractive operations. It is therefore easy to see that girls are particularly invisible in this context. This article argues that children must be considered as a group with specific interests and that a gender-focused analysis should be applied in order to understand the reality of girls. A feminist analysis would allow for an overall improvement in the examination of the rights of children in this specific context.

The harmonious existence of the individual in the modern informational era, which is overly saturated with rapidly developing media technologies, is almost impossible without the developed readiness of the individual for lifelong continuous self-education. The formation and development of this readiness can begin during the formal training at the stage of higher education of the person and continue during informal education throughout his future life. Stages of socialization and professionalization of the person have a great influence on the level nature of this readiness. Based on scientific achievements in the field of self-education of university students, national and world media education, we developed dynamic and competence models of media educational concept of developing a person’s readiness for lifelong self-education. The concept demonstrates interconnection of these two models, as well as consistency with the previously developed normative model of developing this readiness.
