Abstract

The economic crisis in early 2022 in Sri Lanka has had a massive negative impact on the social and economic life of female-headed households in the country. In particular, food poverty affects many families. This study was conducted to investigate the food consumption patterns of female-headed households after the economic crisis in Sri Lanka. Female headed households in five Divisional Secretariat Division of Ampara District were selected as the study sample based on purposive sampling techniques. Qualitative research methodology was used. In-depth interview and focused group discussion were used as primary data collection tools. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis method. The study found that after the economic crisis in Sri Lanka, there was a massive decline in food consumption, quality of food consumed and quantity of food consumed by female-headed households. Most female-headed households consume food only to satisfy hunger. Very small households have maintained the quality of food consumption, which has put them in debt. Traditional food consumption practices have changed and new food habits have emerged in certain families. The study suggests that the prevalence of food poverty among female-headed households should be addressed immediately and alternative programs should be designed to improve their condition.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how schools legitimize public as gender based power spaces. This research uses a qualitative approach, aspecially caes study methode. This research uses the theory of the heterotopia concept by Michel Foucault. Research findings indicate that there is gender-based spatial polarization, particularly in engaging in activities outside class hours. The hall, aisle, and canteen are predominantly occupied by male students, while the classrooms are mostly occupied by female students. Masculinity as a gender role taught to male students makes them more familiar with activities and relationships in public spaces. The traits of dominance and bravery make male students more comfortable socializing in their surroundings, allowing them to enjoy their breaktime in the hall and corridor. Meanwhile, femininity as a gender role taught to female students, makes them more at ease spending their break time in the classroom, because the classroom is the only space they posses personally. So, the responsibility of caring for and maintaining the classroom is also more heavily borne by female student. Schools legitimize space as a landscape that forms a binary relationship between private and public spaces. This polarization also emphasizes how schools serve as a platform to prevent individuals from becoming deviant and crisis actors.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships among social media switching behavior, social fatigue, and academic performance among Generation Z university students. Despite the pervasive use of social media among this demographic, there is a lack of understanding of how social media switching affects academic outcomes and well-being. To address this research gap, a mixed-methods approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, analyzing data from a survey of 200 first-year Communication Science students in the State University of Surabaya (Unesa), Indonesia. The results reveal a statistically significant positive correlation between frequent social media account switching and higher academic performance, but no significant relationships between social media switching and social fatigue, or between social fatigue and academic performance. By understanding these collectivist dynamics between social media usage, academic performance, and social fatigue, this will provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers to develop strategies that promote a healthier balance between digital engagement and academic responsibilities.

Abstract

The Sri Lankan government places a high priority on rural development, as a majority of the population living below the poverty line resides in rural areas. Progress is hindered by limited accessibility and resources. Resettlement was used as a strategy to improve the living conditions of the people. New resettlement practices have brought about significant changes in communities, shifting from traditional to modern social systems. This study investigates the emergence of social stratification and their role in facilitating exploitation practices in the Mahaweli resettlement scheme, utilizing sociological theory to understand stratification and inequalities. The study focuses on the social stratification and exploitation patterns in resettlement areas, using a literature review and qualitative data analysis to explore the mode of production, synthesis of social stratification, examination of exploitation among different social strata, and rationalization of exploitation within these areas. External interventions have led to the establishment of social stratification in the resettlement areas, but the strict state administrative framework has posed challenges in maintaining autonomy and establishing a self-reliant social and economic system. Consequently, poverty levels in these regions have increased due to the emergence of new social hierarchies and exploitation in various ways underscoring the need for more comprehensive and effective resettlement initiatives.

Abstract

Child streetism and delinquency present significant social challenges in Nigeria, where children engaged in street life are often exposed to criminal activities and adverse socio-economic conditions. This study explores the relationship between child streetism and delinquency, and their implications for sustainable development. Utilizing a systematic review methodology, the study critically analyses 61 key sources published between 1969 and 2023, including peer-reviewed journal articles, reports from international organizations, and empirical studies, to explore the definitions, contexts, and empirical evidence related to street children and their behaviors, risks, and socio-environmental impacts in Nigeria. It reveals a significant relationship between child streetism and delinquency, highlighting that children engaged in street work often participate in various negative behaviors such as drug trafficking, thuggery, sexual assault, and cultism. These issues severely impact their psychological and moral development, contributing to broader societal challenges and undermining sustainable development efforts. The paper identifies persistent socio-economic and cultural factors within the family and society as key drivers of child streetism and delinquency behavior in Nigeria, with current government initiatives failing to address these root causes effectively. The study concludes by suggesting a collaborative, multistakeholder approach to effectively address the complex issues surrounding street children and delinquency in Nigeria.

Abstract

This article addresses the complex challenges of waste management on small islands in Indonesia, focusing on the impact of tourism and community response, particularly from a feminist political ecology (FPE) perspective. It argues that the current neoliberal and technocratic approaches to waste management are insufficient and often perpetuate gender inequalities. It calls for more inclusive and equitable waste management policies that recognize the contributions of all community members, particularly women. The research underscores the need for a gender equitable approach to environmental governance to achieve sustainable waste management and environmental justice. The research employed focused ethnography in North Lombok Regency, involving indepth interviews and focus group discussions. Our research found that while government efforts primarily focus on maintaining cleanliness for tourism, these initiatives often neglect inequalities in waste management strategies. Women play a crucial role in these grassroots initiatives, performing unpaid care work to manage waste, but face significant health risks and receive little recognition or support. The study recommends a shift from a tourismcentric approach to a community-centered model that invests in sustainable, long-term solutions prioritizing local needs, environmental health, and the empowerment of women, addressing environmental justice issues linked to tourism and waste accumulation.

Abstract

Memes have become an important medium for expressing multiple intentions on the internet. Social media has advanced increasingly, making memes a contestation zone, an active hook for delivering information, and an expression of counterradicalism. Memes are a very effective way to take a jab at radicalism in a laid-back or even humorous manner so the public can refreshingly capture the messages. As a part of the digital way, the counterradical group also benefits from the same medium and feature. This research aims to investigate the data on the field on how the memes spreading on social media fight against radicalism in their ways. Therefore, the antiradicalism movement through memes is conducted to look for the patterns, forms, and meanings, especially on X and Instagram accounts of NU Garis Lucu (NUGL) and Muhammadiyah Garis Lucu (MuGL). Using a qualitative approach with the content analysis method, the memes posted in the two accounts were collected between August and December 2022. We found that NUGL and MuGL are actively plotting the antiradicalism movement by criticizing radicalism and fighting against religious indoctrination. Apart from that, for those two accounts, memes function as a medium to raise awareness on multiculturalism and nurture nationalism.

Abstract

Water pollution, caused primarily by mining and palm oil plantation, contributed to the water crisis in North Morowali, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It has impacted the Mori Indigenous community, which are among the largest and the oldest communities in the area. They have their own ecological knowledge that reveals a strong connection to the water, but the extractive industries, which pollute their historic Tiu Lake, threaten others water resources, and disconnect them from nature. This study examines Mori Indigenous religious narratives of water and how they perceive and cope with the water pollution. This study applies the qualitative research methodology, using in-depth interview and direct observation to collect the data. Employing Indigenous religion paradigm and the theories of sacred natural sites, this study finds that the religious narratives of water are: Tiu Lake Legend, Imbu-the water protector myth, and the sacred place of water resources. They reveal the inter-subjective relationship of the Mori Indigenous community to the water with religious principle such as: the responsible dimension, how they protected Tiu Lake and water resources as sacred place; the ethics dimension is about the rules on water resources; and the reciprocal dimension where they try to maintain a balance and harmony between human and nature. All this ecological knowledge will be used for water resource preservation in North Morowali, Central Sulawesi.
