<p>L’objectif de cet article est double. Il étudie d’abord la vulnérabilité urbaine, environnementale et socio-économique de l’agriculture urbaine dans la vallée de la rivière Makoko dans la commune de Mont-Ngafula au quartier Kimbuala dans la ville de Kinshasa. Il analyse ensuite les capacités d’adaptation et de résilience des maraîchères face aux aléas climatiques. Le GPS de poche, les images satellitaires, les cartes ont été utilisées comme matériel de terrain pour cette étude. Une enquête a été menée du 5 au 15 avril 2023 auprès des 65 maraîchères qui avaient répondu à un questionnaire fermé sur la vulnérabilité urbaine, environnementale, socio-économique et sur les capacités d’adaptation face aux aléas climatiques. Les résultats ont permis d’établir, à partir des indicateurs, le profil de vulnérabilité des maraîchères et de l’agriculture urbaine face à la pression de l’habitat, des inondations, des épisodes des vagues de chaleur et de l’ensablement. Aujourd’hui, les maraîchères représentent un groupe des vulnérables en perpétuel fragilisation non seulement parce qu’elles sont exposées aux aléas climatiques, mais aussi à cause de la faiblesse de leur capacité de résilience. </p><p>The objective of this article is twofold. It first studies the urban, environmental and socio-economic vulnerability of urban agriculture in the Makoko River valley in the commune of Mont-Ngafula in the Kimbuala district in the city of Kinshasa. It then analyzes the adaptation and resilience capacities of market gardeners in the face of climatic hazards. Handheld GPS, satellite images, maps were used as field equipment for this study. A survey was conducted from April 5 to 15, 2023 among 65 market gardeners who had responded to a closed questionnaire on urban, environmental, socio-economic vulnerability and on adaptation capacities in the face of climatic hazards. The results made it possible to establish, based on the indicators, the vulnerability profile of market gardeners and urban agriculture in the face of housing pressure, flooding, episodes of heat waves and silting. Today, market gardeners represent a vulnerable group that is perpetually weakened, not only because they are exposed to climatic hazards, but also because of the weakness of their capacity for resilience.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0710/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: September 2024

<p>The present study explores the attitudes of early childhood children towards activities that combine the arts on the occasion of an original song and its visual and dramatic representation. The project was carried out in the context of a nursery school/kindergarten children’s (<em>N=</em>20) participation in a song contest that was conducted by “Make a wish” of Greece, an organization that aims to support children who are struggling with serious illnesses. The aims of the study were to cultivate children’s collaborative and social-emotional skills, to entertain them and to provide opportunities to encourage their creativity. The project was carried out in 4 stages: a) creating an original song on the theme of a star that makes wishes come true, b) young children learning to sing the song, c) recording the song in the studio, d) visual representation of the song working individually and in groups, d) creating of a video presentation that included the young children's paintings with the song as background music, d) dramatization of the song and its performance at the summer celebration of the school. The data were collected through observation, diary notes and children's products. General findings show that the young children were given opportunities to cultivate their creativity through their engagement in the activities, have fun, cooperate with each other, feel part of a larger group and cultivate social-emotional skills such as empathy, self-confidence, learning to accept the criticism of others and respect others’ views. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0742/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Adeyemi Adetola Olubisi , Odedokun Solomon Adekunle , Akanni Olurotimi O. 
Published: September 2024

<p>The rate at which bullying is been perpetrated in schools on a daily basis is alarming and worrisome. It is a big threat that should not be handled with levity. Bullying is not only dangerous to the victims but also to the perpetrators, parents, schools and the society. The consequences could have a life-long effect on the individual that is bullied. In view of this, this study, therefore, examined the school climate, peer influence, social competence and family cohesion as facilitators of bullying among public secondary school students in Mushin, Lagos State. Two hundred and two (202) public secondary school students from 6 (six) public schools in Mushin, Lagos State were randomly selected for the study. Standardized instruments were used to measure the variables. Three research questions were raised and answered. Data collected were analyzed using the Multiple Regression Analysis and Pearson Product Moment Correlation at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study showed that bulling among the participants correlated positively with the four predicting variables and a coefficient of multiple correlations (R) of 0.812 and adjusted R square of 0.646 was noted. Family cohesion is the most potent contributor to the prediction (β = 0.308, t = 6.938, p &lt; 0.05) followed by peer influence (β = 0.292, t = 6.017, p &lt; 0.05), school climate (β = 0.126, t = 2.466, p &lt; 0.05) and finally, social competence (β = 0.015, t = 0.343, p &lt; 0.05). Based on the findings, it was recommended that counselling psychologists and allied professionals should endeavour to sensitize the government, school owners and public on the benefits of positive school climate and family cohesion in reducing bullying in the school system. Also, bullying may be reduced through anti-bullying programs in schools that serve to raise awareness of the problem. Lastly, cordial relationship should be established at homes among the siblings and between the parents and their children as this will go a long way in raising children with high social competence skills as well as promoting healthy relationship that fosters friendliness in school setting rather than bullying among the students.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0749/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

"Beautiful, young, white, and blonde". How Image Generative AI Reinforces Harmful Gender Norms
Authors: Moriarty Carla 
Published: September 2024

Image generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms represent a new, and sometimes troubling, lens for the articulation of gender. Text prompts such as an attractive woman with long wavy hair […] glamorous pin-ups, perfect anatomy, perfect posture (Midjourney, 2023) creates images for users’ consumption at a rate of 34 million per day (Attie, 2023), indicating that this technology is poised to play a dominant role in the transmission, maintenance, and intensification of gender stereotypes. Employing a critical stance, corpus linguistics software AntConc (Anthony, 2024) was used to analyse users’ text prompts, focusing on gendered, gender-neutral, and gender-connotative noun forms alongside adjectival collocates. Subsequently, a social semiotically-informed multimodal analysis was used on selected images, presented as a case study to exemplify and highlight the corpus linguistics findings.Bathes described photographs in the media as having “passed through the filter of culture” (1981:16). While generative AI has precipitated a transformative shift in our communication landscape, it appears this cultural filter is still being applied. Critical analysis of this issue places sociolinguists and scholars from other interested fields at the forefront of discussions aimed at identifying and mitigating the propagation of gender hegemonies via image generative AI.
Factors associated with low adherence to exclusive breastfeeding in the Dibaya health zone, Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Mbuyi Emile , Nkongolo Bernard-Kennedy , Musema Godefroid 
Published: September 2024

Background Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is an effective intervention, preventing 13% of deaths in children under 5 years old with optimal coverage of 90%. According to the Monitoring Improved for Action (MAA) survey conducted in 2013-2014, only 13.7% of children aged 0-6 months were exclusively breastfed, well below the 50% target set by Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 2. Dibaya health zone was a post-conflict Kamuina Nsapu, where most women who devote themselves to rural work and small businesses abandon their children for long hours. Hence, the latter being hungry and crying constantly, those who look after them must give them water and other foods than their mother’s milk. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with low adherence to EBF among breastfeeding women in the Dibaya health zone. Methods This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out among 200 women breastfeeding children aged 6-23 months. We used a four-stage probability sampling starting from the ZS, passing through the selected health area, then the streets/villages and then a plot survey to randomly select households with children aged 6-23 months. The chi-square test showed the current relationships between EBF adherence and the various factors, and the relationship between the various factors will ultimately be ascertained through logistic regression. Results The rate of adherence to the EBF was 12.1%. Porridge and water were most noted among the foods most consumed before 6 months. The factors associated with adherence to the EBF were the type of health area inhabited by the mother, marital status, area of residence, occupation of the husband, the existence of rules/prohibitions in the tribe and the information received on the EBF. It was noted that rural residence reduces adherence to exclusive breastfeeding by 96.2% while lack of knowledge reduces adherence to exclusive breastfeeding by 91.2%. Conclusions Most mothers do not adhere to EBF. The EBF rate is far from reaching the SDG 2 target, which must be above 50%. Intensifying the implementation of regional initiatives (Stronger with breast milk only and First Food) should be part of the strategic options to boost and improve Membership in the EBF. Communication for behaviour change must also focus on the age at which complementary foods are introduced.
