Paramediklerin İş Yeri Kültürüne Yönelik Benimsedikleri Kuralların Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşmelerle İncelenmesi: Nitel Bir Çalışma
Authors: ALTUNTAŞ Mehmet , TELATAR Tahsin Gokhan
Published: December 2022

Amaç: Paramedikler her gün uğraşmak zorunda oldukları öngörülemez acil durumlar için eğitimleri boyunca tıbbi donanım kazanmaktadırlar. Bunun yanında stresli durumlar ile başa çıkabilmek için benimsedikleri iş yeri kültürüne ait yazılmamış kuralları da vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı nitel bir yöntem kullanarak profesyonel sosyalleşme sürecinin bu yazılmamış kurallarını incelemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu nitel araştırmada fenomenolojik yaklaşım kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar veriler doygun hale gelene kadar devam eden amaçlı örnekleme yoluyla seçilen 34 paramedikten oluşmaktadır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Katılımcılara çalışma hayatlarında benimsedikleri kuralları sorgulayan on açık uçlu tanıtıcı soru sorulmuştur. 30- 45 dakika süren görüşmeler ses kaydına alınmış ve kelimesi kelimesine yazıya dökülmüştür. Veri analizinde içerik analizi yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Veri analizi süreci, ‘’çalışma sistemi ve ortamları’’, ‘’çalışan sağlığı ve güvenliği’’ ve ‘‘iletişim’’ olmak üzere 3 ana temanın ortaya çıkmasıyla sonuçlanmıştır. Katılımcıların bu konulardaki deneyimlerini ortaya çıkarmaya yönelik her bir tema için üçer alt kategori belirlenmiştir. Veriler içinde en sık tekrarlanan kelimeler ‘’güvenlik’’, ‘’iletişim’’, ‘’ambulans’’, ‘’malzeme’’, ‘’nöbet’’ ve ‘’hasta’’ kelimeleri olmuştur.

Sonuç: Paramediklerin profesyonel sosyalleşme sürecinde benimsedikleri iş yeri kültürüne ait yaşanmış deneyimleri bu mesleği düşünen gençler, eğitimciler ve yöneticiler için yol göstericidir.
Bir kentsel mekânın işlevsel kalite analizi: Forum Mersin AVM örneği
Authors: DENİZ Merve , İNCEOGLU Mehmet
Published: December 2022

Kamusal mekânlar, hem kentin kullanıcıları hem de ziyaretçileri tarafından kullanılan mekânlardır. Bu mekânlardan biri ise ticari faaliyetlerin yapıldığı alışveriş alanlarıdır. Nitekim birçok toplum gereksinimlerini karşılamak için paranın icat edilmediği dönemlerde takas usulünü kullanmıştır. Fakat meydana gelen gelişmeler doğrultusunda ihtiyaçlar artınca sadece alma-verme ile yapılan ticaret yetersiz gelmiş ve paranın icat edilmesiyle birlikte alışveriş eylemi daha sistemli bir hal almıştır. Zamanla pazar yerleri kurulmuş ve yeni mekânlar inşa edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda agoralar, Antik Yunan Dönemi’nin ilk planlı mekân kurgusu olarak varlığını sürdürmüştür. Devamında ise her toplum tarafından çeşitli yapı türleri oluşturulmuştur. Bilhassa Sanayi Devrimi ve ardından yaşanan modernleşme ile küreselleşme akımları bu noktada önem arz ederek tüketim kültürünü doğurmuştur. 19. yüzyıl ve sonrasında yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler ile alışveriş eylemi önem kazanmış ve bununla birlikte toplumun sosyalleşme, kültürel aktivitelerde bulunma gibi farklı işlevlere ilgisi artmıştır. Bu durum çok katlı mağaza veya alışveriş yapılarının ön plana çıkmasına ön ayak olmuştur. Söz konusu yerler ise bireylerin sosyalleştiği ve vakitlerinin çoğunu değerlendirdikleri mekânlar durumuna gelmiştir. Dolayısıyla işlevsel olmaları önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Forum Mersin Alışveriş Merkezi’nin işlevsel kalite analizini yapmaktır. Çalışma kapsamında öncelikle literatür taraması yapılarak alışveriş yapılarının tarihsel gelişim süreci açıklanmış ardından açık alan kurgulu alışveriş merkezlerine dair uluslararası örneklere yer verilmiştir. Son aşamada ise araştırmaya konu olan Forum Mersin AVM, Sherwin Greene’nin (1992) işlevsel kalite parametreleri bağlamında analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler ışığında söz konusu merkez, işlevsel kalite açısından olumlu olarak değerlendirilse de bazı etkenlerin mekânı olumsuz yönde etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda belirtilen etkilerin iyileştirilmesi için makale kapsamında öneriler sunulmuştur.

Authors: Muthukrishnan Nagarajan
Published: December 2022

In recent days, Indian youths have come up with business ideas to encourage the economy of India through entrepreneurship. However, in recent years, they have struggled to find the right approach to success in their business. But the present government has made a road for them to enlighten their vision through the wisdom of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs. This paper aims to provide useful suggestions and recommendations for Indian public policy related to the income tax department and government of India to strengthen the opportunity for India's economy and entrepreneurial activity in India. We know that income for the government of India comes from 15% of income tax as per budget 2022.This paper suggests amending the income tax regime to promote the Gross Domestic Product, promote innovation and entrepreneurship, and provide employment opportunities to the citizens of India. This paper reveals 18 suggestions and recommendations through micro and macro models to create an imperial revolution in Indian public welfare. Further, the paper also discusses about the benefits for various participants involved in the public policy affairs.

Artifact Elimination of Eeg Signals Based on Deep Learning: Survey
Authors: Yan Jinlin , Chen Yu
Published: December 2022

Electroencephalogram (EEG) plays an important role in measuring human status and activities. EEG signals come from weak currents and are very vulnerable to artifact pollution, which affects the performance of many EEG tasks. It is crucial to develop methods that can effectively identify and remove artifacts. In the past, researchers have proposed a variety of methods to eliminate artifacts, but there is still no method to achieve the best effect. With the rapid development of deep learning, the new method has made excellent progress in eliminating artifacts. Compared with traditional methods, it is fast and can be automatically processed. This paper explores a new method to eliminate artifacts using deep learning technology. First, it discusses the characteristics and types of artifacts of EEG data, reviews the traditional elimination methods, then introduces the application of new and new methods of deep learning, and introduces the relevant data sets. In the future research, the method of artifact elimination relying on data automation has great potential.

UNCONSTITUTIONALITY OF SOME PROCEDURAL-CRIMINAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE OBLIGATION TO INFORM ABOUT THE TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE MEASURE
Authors: Lorincz Anca-Lelia
Published: December 2022

The concept of ”public safety” can be viewed, in relation to the need to respect the fundamental rights of the person during judicial proceedings, from a dual perspective:

- on the one hand, public safety is guaranteed by ensuring that these fundamental rights are respected, because the safety of every person involved in legal proceedings ultimately leads to the preservation of public safety;

- on the other hand, some limitations of these rights (in the sense of interfering with their exercise) may occur, in a state governed by the rule of law, only under conditions strictly provided by law and in cases justified precisely by the need to guarantee public safety. This study addresses, from this second perspective, the possibility of limiting by law the fundamental rights of the person during judicial proceedings (in this case, the right to privacy) and refers to the regulation of technical supervision, as evidence in criminal proceedings, calling into question the unconstitutionality of some criminal procedural provisions regarding the obligation to inform the under-surveillance person about the measure that targeted her.
SHORT CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE MEDIATION IN ROMANIA
Authors: Cîrmaciu Diana
Published: December 2022

Due to the favorable international context for the promotion and development of alternative methods of dispute resolution, mediation has also established itself in our country as an important element of the judicial reform strategy. The classic resolution of the conflict by going to court does not always appear as a covert response to the needs of the parties involved.

The prolonged health crisis has repercussions in the already existing crisis of the judicial system - the high number of cases encumbering the activity of the courts, therefore, in these times any solution is welcome for the effective resolution of disputes between participants in legal relations.
THE EUROPEAN PILLAR OF SOCIAL RIGHTS
Authors: Mirișan Ligia Valentina
Published: December 2022

The European Pillar of Social Rights is a high-profile political reaffirmation of twenty social rights and principles. Its implementation deploys the full EU governance arsenal: regulations, directives, recommendations, communications, new institutions, funding actions, and country-specific recommendations. As such, the static imagery evoked by a ‘pillar’ does not capture the true nature of the initiative, which is dynamic and fluid, wide-ranging, and permeating. An equation of the Pillar with the set of twenty rights and principles it proclaims similarly fails to capture its true significance, which lies in its programmatic nature. Several important measures have already been proposed as part of this new social action plan for Europe, some of which are close to adoption. This Article analyses the meaning of the Pillar and its potential significance, by considering its content sensu largo, and its broader context. It argues that even if the Pillar cannot address all the EU's social failings, it has put a surprising social spin on the Better Regulation Agenda that was threatening to erode the social acquis, it has rekindled the EU's relationship with the International Labour Organization and Council of Europe, and it helps rebalance the EU's output by reviving the use of the Treaty's Social Title.
LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION IN THE ROMANIAN CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM
Authors: Matei Florin Călin
Published: December 2022

Charles de Montesquieu says, “anyone in power tends to abuse it”, this is not done in a rule of law. Thus, as a reaction to this problem, the aforementioned author elaborated the principle of separation of powers, which enshrines the three powers existing in a democratic state, namely the legislative, executive and judicial power. These three powers were entrusted to different bodies, power being limited by power, as he himself had said. Post-decembrist Romania adopted the system of the three powers, entrusting the legislative power to the Parliament, the executive power to the Government and the President, and the judicial power to the courts. Although the Parliament is the exclusive holder of the legislative function, in certain situations, it delegates this function to the Government, through the institution of legislative delegation, regulated at the constitutional level.
Emerging Trends of E-Business Models in India
Authors: Reddy G. Rama Purushothama , Sreenivasulu S. , Himamsha D.
Published: December 2022

"E-commerce" refers to financial transactions that take place online. Ecommerce
refers to the practise of doing business activities over the Internet and electronic
means. Internet commerce has dramatically altered how businesses are traditionally
conceived of and operated. The term "E-commerce" refers to the practise of buying and
selling products or services online. This study aims to illustrate the success of E-Commerce
in India and the expansion of E-Commerce sales in India's retail sector, as well as to draw
attention to the various difficulties encountered by the Indian e-commerce industry.
According to the research, wholesalers are the most threatened in the E-commerce world
since producers may bypass them when selling directly to retailers and customers.
Wholesalers may benefit from E-commerce by forming partnerships with reputable
manufacturers and integrating their operations with the web. Findings from the survey
also show that wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers, and individual consumers may all
benefit from participating in the booming e-commerce sector.
#MeToo en de preventie van seksuele grensoverschrijding in Nederland
Authors: van Berlo Willy
Published: December 2022

#MeToo and the prevention of sexual harassment in the Netherlands

As a result of #MeToo, the realization that sexual harassment, including sexual violence, is a major social problem has penetrated the Netherlands as well. Yet that awareness did not go hand in hand with a structural approach to sexual harassment, especially in terms of prevention. Prevention of sexual harassment requires a thorough approach, focused on different levels: the individual, the individual’s environment and the culture in a broad sense. This article discusses what preventive measures are needed in the Netherlands, and what led to the creation of a national action plan on sexual harassment and violence.
Uit de praktijk: de schaduwkanten van de #MeToo-beweging
Authors: Olfers Marjan , van Wijk Anton
Published: December 2022

The dark sides of the #MeToo movement

The impact of the #MeToo movement appears to be mostly positive. As important as it is that attention is paid to sexually transgressive behavior – in whatever context – (the impact of) the #MeToo movement also has its dark sides. This article focuses on the question: What are the downsides of #MeToo? The authors discuss a number of issues that were encountered in their research practice. They discuss (a) uncertainty regarding the (limits of a) violation of standards, (b) misleading or false reports, (c) anonymous reports and hearsay statements and (d) ‘guilty by association’ or ‘trial by media’. It should always be clear whether it concerns facts or, for example, experiences and perceptions. The interests of the accused must not be compromised by unclear standards or neglecting a careful investigative process. The authors argue for clear research questions that support the research and allow sufficient room for both sides to be heard with as little bias as possible. For the victims, care must be taken against double victimization and victim-blaming.
Wat betekent #MeToo voor de behandeling en positie van plegers van seksueel grensoverschrijdend gedrag?
Authors: Schippers Eveline , Hoogsteder Larissa , Sweers Nienke
Published: December 2022

The significance of #MeToo in the position and treatment of sexual offenders

#MeToo makes sexually transgressive behavior come to light earlier. It is important that subsequent assessment and adjudication of the behavior is done carefully and as objectively as possible. For some sexual offenders with few risk factors, the public tap on the fingers may be enough to never again engage in repeated sexual offense behavior. However, publicity and public condemnation as a result of #MeToo can also be damaging, because they increase social isolation, loneliness and stress. As a result, offenders can recidivate with sexual offense behavior sooner, making society less safe. When a sexual offender is convicted, structured risk assessment should guide the decision if forensic treatment is desirable to reduce the risk of recidivism. This treatment should be risk-oriented: focussed on reducing risk factors that are relevant to the offending behavior. This is the best way to guarantee safety in society.
Slachtofferschap, e-shaming en #MeToo

Published: December 2022

Victimization, e-shaming and #MeToo. An investigation into the role of e-shaming during #MeToo in the Netherlands

In October 2017, #MeToo went viral on social media. #MeToo has been found to have positive as well as negative effects. One negative effect is the ethical problem of e-shaming. This article investigates through a mixed-method approach what the extent and perception is on e-shaming during #MeToo in the Netherlands. Results show that e-shaming is very rare and that Dutch society has little interest in the topic and will not participate in e-shaming. This implies that e-shaming in the Netherlands is still problematic on an ethical level, but the extent and consequences of e-shaming are very limited.

A scalable, black-box hybrid genetic algorithm for continuous multimodal optimization in moderate dimensions
Authors: Johannsen Klaus , Goris Nadine , Tjiputra Jerry , Jensen Bjørnar
Published: December 2022

Optimization problems can be found in many areas of scienceand technology. Not only the global optimum, but also a(large) number of near-optima are often of interest. Thisgives rise to what are referred to as multimodal optimizationproblems. In most cases, the number and quality of the optimaare unknown and assumptions cannot be made about theobjective functions. In this paper, we focus on continuous,unconstrained optimization in moderately high-dimensionalcontinuous spaces (d ≤ 10).We present a scalablealgorithm with virtually no parameters, which performs wellfor general objective functions (non-convex, discontinuous).It is based on two well-established algorithms (CMA-ES,deterministic crowding). Novel elements of the algorithminclude the detection of seed points for local searches andcollision avoidance, both based on nearest neighbors, and astrategy for semi-sequential optimization to realize scalability.The performance of the proposed algorithm is numericallyevaluated using the CEC2013 niching benchmark suite for1 − 20 dimensional functions, and a 9 dimensional real-worldproblem from constraint optimization in climate research.The algorithm performs well in relation to the CEC2013benchmarks and only falls short on higher dimensional andstrongly inisotropic problems. In the case of the climate-related problem, the algorithm is able to find a high number(> 150) of optima of relevance to climate research. Theproposed algorithm does not require special configuration forthe optimization problems considered in this paper, i.e., itshows good black-box behavior.

L’indagine nel sito architettonico-archeologico che fu antico teatro romano sul mare poi trasformatoin ninfeo - erroneamente denominato Tomba di Agrippina - intende affidare alla dimensioneastratta e conoscitiva della rappresentazione la restituzione dei significati del manufatto come‘presenza preziosa’ nel paesaggio urbano di Bacoli. L’approccio di indagine, avvicinandosialla insita dimensione metaprogettuale del rilievo, si propone di suggerire linee di indirizzo permirate strategie di rigenerazione del patrimonio culturale flegreo, laddove l’espansione urbana nonpianificata ci restituisce una mappa territoriale priva di segni di connessione tra le attuali zoneurbanizzate e i resti dei pregevoli manufatti antichi. Diffusamente, e in particolare nel caso inesame, i ritrovamenti archeologici rivelano problematiche compenetrazioni con l’edilizia moderna.I preziosi reperti, spesso ancora parzialmente interrati o inagibili, esigono decisioni e interventidi integrazione che facciano riferimento alle peculiarità territoriali e che, confermandone le azionidi tutela, consentano nuove forme di accessibilità ai siti, attivabili attraverso operazioni dirappresentazione digitale del patrimonio che implementino livelli di fruizione alternativi allavisita diretta.Muovendo da questa esigenza, l’orientamento metodologico della ricerca è inteso ad assumerela digitalizzazione dei processi in ogni fase di lavoro.

Development Process, Planet Earth Resources and Environmental Change
Authors: Rugumamu William
Published: December 2022

This paper provides an exploratory account of the vital importance ofunderstanding the role of the Planet Earth as a complex system and asreservoir of natural resources essential for human development from local,through national, to global levels. Its analytical framework is the politicalecology discourse, which holistically interrogates natural resources,resource use systems, forms of ownership and labour regimes as well astypes of commodity chains to underscore the role of power and wealthrelations in explaining human well-being and environmental health with aview to equitably allocate scarce resources among and between competingindividuals, groups, classes and institutions. Aware that environmentalchange is inevitable given the forces of both nature and humankind, andthat the current unequal terms of trade at the local level, as well asbetween the developed and developing countries, are in disfavour ofsmallholders, the paper argues that these should be the burning issues of concern to the new generation of geographers. It advances that a consortium of committed scholars composed of social scientists, on the onehand, and the natural scientists and technologists, on the other, coupled with community-based development partners should be instituted. The paper concludes by advocating citizens’ protection against natural resource use systems subjected to extreme socioeconomic-political-ecologic vicissitudes to be treated by the government as human rights issues
Fertility Myth of Oldoinyo Lengai and Its Impacts to the Maasai Community of Northern Tanzania
Authors: Haule Evaristo , Njewele Delphine
Published: December 2022

The paper aims to explore the myth of fertility associated with Oldoinyo Lengaiand its impacts to the Maasai community in the Gregorian rift valley system innorthern Tanzania. It assumes that in African spirituality, myths are used toguide knowledge, values and practices in the community and Mother Nature.Fertility is among the major transformation event in human life circles that canbe reflected through community myth. Through in-depth interviews andobservation techniques primary data relating to culture, customs and traditionswere obtained. Documentary search was employed to supplement field data. Thestudy found out that the Maasai community depended on the Oldoinyo Lengai(Mountain of God) for the fertility of human and animals. The fertility mythamong the Maasai pressurized them to prefer many children. The myth alsoencouraged the dominance of promiscuousness; and the deterioration of healthdue to bearing many children with limited maternal health care and the spreadof sexually transmitted diseases. Thus the myth of Oldoinyo Lengai in relation to fertility has caused an incredibly adverse impact on the Maasai community, particularly in Tanzania. The study recommends that health education and services be extended to villages in the vicinity of Oldoinyo Lengai with service providers who are well-trained to integrate the nature of the myth and its side effects to the community in relation to the changing socio-economic landscape. Moreover, it is imperative to empower the community members economically and socially so that they can decide their fate and exercise their consent.
Water and Pasture Availability on Livestock Routes Under a Changing Climate: A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania
Authors: Ernest Siwa , Hagai Martine , Kasahigili Japhet J.
Published: December 2022

The beef cattle production system practiced in the Lake Victoria Basin ismainly extensive, which involves cattle grazing on natural pastures. Thissystem is characterized by overgrazing, low livestock production and soildegradation. Under the effects of global climate change, these pastoralmanagement challenges are expected to increase. As the impacts of climatechange to beef cattle production over the Lake Victoria Basin is unknown,this study used participatory mapping method and focus group discussions toassess spatial changes in livestock routes in relation to water and pastureavailability in the Ilemela and Magu districts of the Mwanza region, Tanzania. GIS technology was used for the formalization of spatial layers. It was revealed that there were many changes in livestock routes such that some have become roads, some have been lost, and others narrowed. These changes were due to an increase in settlements and cultivated areas, and more specifically a general decline of water sources and grazing land. This implies that appropriate strategies such as a land-use planning, stock routings modification, education on effective cattle farming, and intervention by rainwater harvesting should be designed so as to adapt to climate change effects, and improve livestock production in Ilemela and Magu districts

The objective is to understand spatial flow of building poles’ effects on sustainable livelihoods and forest resources. It is a result of a study that took place in March 2013 in Urban West Region, Ukongoroni and Charawe shehias. The methods used included focus group discussions, a brief questionnaire, an in-depth interview and direct observations. Also Arc GIS version 10.2.2 was used to overlay GPS points of building poles’ depots over land use maps. The findings indicated that the availability of building poles contributed to theexpansion of the Urban West built up area from 8.3km2 in 1985 to 46.8km2 in 2009. It also led to income poverty alleviation among building polesdistributors. However, it led to the gradual disappearance of indigenousspecies as they were being replaced by exotic species such as Casuarinaequisetifolia, which were highly demanded in the construction industry inZanzibar. It is thus recommended that replanting or silvicultural workinvolving indigenous species should be encouraged for sustainableindigenous forests in Zanzibar.

Published: December 2022

Although various studies on climate change and food production have been conducted, information on how households in Tanzania respond to climate change for sustainable food production is scarce. This paper investigates climate change adaptation practices in enhancing sustainable food production in Rombo District, Tanzania. The study adopted a cross- sectional research design. Quantitative data were analysed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software, while the qualitative data were analysed through factual and logical interpretation of the findings. Results show that drought was the main effect of climate change as reported by 65.7% of the respondents in the study area. Furthermore, the findings show that 81.4% of the respondents applied artificial fertilizers to their farms in efforts to adapt to climate change. Study results also show a significant association between the education level of the respondents and use of improved seeds (P = 0.08) and soil water conservation (P = 0.09) as adaptation measures to climate change. In adapting to the changing climate, respondents also experienced some challenges such as lack of resources in terms of financial, material and human labour. Proper knowledge on the adaptation measures is recommended to be given to farmers through various methods.

The main objective of the study was to map poverty at sub-village and village levels in Kilindi District in Tanga region, Tanzania. Disaggregated poverty maps like these are very useful in showing the spatial distribution of poverty at micro level which can lead to effective poverty reduction intervention measures. A sample of 391 households was collected from five villages located along the road and off-road of Handeni-Songe road. The poverty mapping results indicated that the study villages had better food security because of adopting new varieties of crops especially beans followed by asset and income poverty indicators. Medium poverty was observed in energy and transport. However, the villages had very high poverty in health and sanitation and so require more intervention measures from the Government and Civil Society Organizations. The overall poverty mapping indicators showed that Mafisa Village was better off when compared to other villages in terms of poverty. The level of poverty was very high in Kibirashi and Balang’a villages which had a high proportion of Maasai pastoralists.

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of interventions of the murder of persons with albinism in Lake Victoria, Tanzania. The study was conducted in Shinyanga Region in two Districts namely; Shinyanga and Kahama Districts. A total number of 100 respondents participated in this study, two focus group discussions sessions were conducted, each involving 8 participants and key informant interview was done to three traditional doctors used for capturing qualitative responses whereas data from 52 People With Albinisms (PWAs) and 29 stakeholders of PWAs including heads of households of PWAs, friends of PWAs, journalists, and advocacy officers were collected by using the structured questionnaires for the collection of primary data while documentary review was applied to collect secondary data. The study has revealed that, in Tanzania there is a high rate of murder of PWAs principally for ritual purposes. This belief directly led to the murder of PWAs by people desperate for success in the form of good luck and money. The core of this practice is witchdoctors. The eradication of such killings has become very difficult and complicated process. Poverty, low quality of settlements, absence of witchcraft law, and inadequate government readiness, to mention a few make interventions to fail and ultimately increase the murders. The study recommends on the urgent measures to assess and address the situation in asylums where PWAs are centered, to enact witchcraft law and provide public awareness, strong collaboration of all stakeholders, political will, and equal access to socio economic and political opportunities

Published: December 2022

Understanding drivers of tourism is important in transforming actors’ perceptions and ultimately the industry for sustainability. Motives, historical forces shaping tourism policy, legislations and their actual implementations is less researched. This paper exposes drivers of tourism in Zanzibar. It explains how the contested natural, cultural heritage, revolutionary regime, neoliberal structural adjustment, legislations and policy changes in the archipelago shape our understanding of tourism theory and practices overtime and space. It is generally founded that enduring political instability, conflicting institutional power struggles and variable interests have created unique unsustainable tourism practices and trends in the island. Overall, the paper contributes to an understanding of the use of post structural critical theory and political ecology approach in rethinking the future of tourism policy and legislations with references to island destinations in developing economies.
An Analysis of Changes in Climate Variability and the Persisting Flood Events in Kinondoni District, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Mwalutolo Daniel
Published: December 2022

Th is paper off ers an analytical view on climate variability and fl ood events in the City of Dar es Salaam. Th is is a response to a central question whether there is relationship between substantial changes in climate variability especially rainfall and temperature to the persistence of fl ood events. Th e study gathered climatology data from two weather stations provided by Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) and employed mixed methods approach in data collection, analysis and presentation of fi ndings. Th e study revealed that temperature has shown a signifi cant increasing trend to about 2.45 0C in the last 31 years, while rainfall data indicated the decline in annual rainfall especially during short-rainy seasons. Furthermore, there was a relative increase in rains in March and April unlike in May where there is a decline in rainfall. Despite all these changes, correlation value between rainfall intensities and fl ood events was found to be 0.5 indicating a weak to moderate positive relationship. It is under this regards where poor planning in infrastructure and poor waste disposal plays a critical amplifying role in persistence fl oods. Th erefore this paper recommends that, since temperature has shown an increasing trend then future scenarios of climate change in region should not be underestimated or exaggerated at all levels of decision making, planning and development.

Authors: Mwajamila Edward
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study was to assess gender influence in household resource allocation in Mbeya Rural District. The process of resources allocation at household level involves two different genders whereby male dominates female in all spheres of life. It was discovered through literature that women were discriminated, oppressed and do not access to, control and inheriting land by customary law. This study was carried out in Mbeya Rural District, which involved 196 households comprised (of ) married, widow/widower, cohabiting and divorced in Utengule-Usongwe ward. The data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, Focus Group Discussions and documentary reviews. The data were edited, coded, and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 16.0 computer program. The qualitative data were analyzed and integrated in the report according to the objectives of the study. Th e fi ndings of the study revealed that, the majority of the respondents had knowledge about the cultural infl uence in the households which discriminate and oppress women’s rights and favour men as superior over women. The respondents were also aware about the tendency of the societies to allocate the available resources at household level more to boys than girls. The study further revealed that the majority of decision makers and heads of the households were men. However, the study confirmed that culture plays a great role in discriminating and oppressing women at household level. The findings show clearly that gender inequality is mainly based in relation to access and control over domestic resources in the household, whereby men are still dominating all sphere in the households. Basing on the findings, the study recommends that there is a need to filter and alleviate the harmful elements in culture which lead to ill-treatment of women and hinder women’s rights at household level. Also there is a need to teach statutory laws in primary and secondary schools in order to raise awareness about gender equality.
