Abstract

Environmental contamination is one of the significant problems of modern society. Heavy metal pollutants include zinc, arsenic, nickel, cadmium, copper, lead, chromium, manganese, and iron etc. Their universal bioavailability accumulation in the food chain causes severe effects on human health. The lives of living species will be preserved by unique heavy metal treatments to improve the air, soil, and water quality. This review article represents a glimpse of heavy metal contamination in several areas of Pakistan over the past few years, that assess the heavy metal especially the contamination in water (groundwater, surface water, and wastewater), soil, and particulate matter. The listed pollution affects the quality of drinking water, the ecological environment, and the food chain. The toxicity induced by contaminated water, soil, and air causes a genuine threat to human health. Moreover, the technologies to overcome this problem have also been reported in it.

This research is qualitative research with the technique of determining informants by purposive sampling. Data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Analysis techniques are the data collected selectively separated, processing by editing process and analyzing the data that has been obtained descriptively. The results showed that the farmers' adaptation strategy to their environment was carried out through First, the strategy of tying the belt tighter or the strategy of self-limiting, ie the farmers did a strategy by eating once a day; Second, alternative subsistence strategies, where farmers and farmer families do odd jobs or become casual workers, such as fishing, digging wells, helping people package ice cubes for fish sent to Bau-Bau City, burning charcoal after it is sold to blacksmiths, selling wood, taking stones and sand, and making machetes and knives for sale; and Third, the strategy to build relationships, where farmers build a lot of networks with institutions outside the family environment. If they are in trouble then this network can be used to overcome various existing problems such as building relationships with relatives, village friends, or influential people in the village.

Abstract

Anti-defection laws are laws by which members of parliaments (MPs) who changed their party affiliation or voted against the position of their political faction or independent MPs who joined a political party are forced to vacate their parliamentary seat or prohibited from nomination as candidates of another political party in the next election. The essence of anti-defection laws is restricting political party members’ freedom to change their party affiliation to prevent government parties’ loss of majority in the parliament. Anti-defection laws are not uniformly used. While many established democracies see parliamentary defection as a manifestation of democracy, other jurisdictions with undeveloped democracies have outlawed defection. In Ethiopia, the FDRE Constitution entitles MPs to be led by the Constitution itself, peoples’ will, and their conscience, not necessarily by their party line. Accordingly, MPs can opine and vote contrary to the views of the political party of their membership in parliamentary debates; they can even change their party affiliation without risk of losing their parliamentary mandate. This makes Ethiopia one of the countries without anti-defection laws.

Abstract

Mangroves in the northern parts of Sri Lanka have been understudied and often ignored by the ecologists due to several reasons. This paper contributes to the assessment of floristic diversity and community structure of mangrove forests in two sites in the Northern Province; Mandaitivu and Arali. Vegetation studies were undertaken with the use of 10m wide belt transect laid across the water-land gradient, within which, 5-7 quadrats were placed for floral identification (nMandaitivu = 67, nArali = 44). Subsurface water samples (n=57) from the adjacent estuarine region were taken to assess environmental parameters. Ten true mangrove species of six families were identified altogether in both sites. Bruguiera cylindrica, Lumnitzera racemosa, Excoecaria agallocha and Avicennia marina showed higher niche width. Zonation exhibited Rhizophora in the fringing zone, Avicennia landward and the others in the mixed zone. Salinity in both areas was relatively high and showed a significantly positive correlation with mangrove abundance along with conductivity, tidal regime and pH. Despite their important role in coastal dynamics, mangroves have been degraded due to anthropogenic activities, thus demanding actions for conservation in the future.

Abstract

The informal sector has been excluded in the development of cities despite playing a big role in providing livelihoods to a lot of urban dwellers. Their contribution to the city economy has been marginalized despite the size of this sector and the contribution to the livelihoods of the urban poor.  City space has therefore continued to be a contested arena as urban poor are fighting for access to city space. The research examined the role the informal sector can play in the city of Masvingo. The research utilized a mixed-methods approach to data collection, where both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Questionnaires, semi structures interviews and field observations were employed. Interviews were done with key informants in various sectors dealing with issues of informality. The field observation was done in transacting walks in areas occupied by urban informality. The research found out that the informal sector in the City of Masvingo is playing a critical role in employment creation and therefore is providing sources of livelihood to a lot of people but the city authorities are doing very little to help the development and growth of the informal sector. Hence the economic contribution of the informal sector has been marginalized.
