Abstract

The longstanding expectation for female schoolteachers in Sri Lanka to wear sarees is primarily influenced by cultural norms and religious traditions. In November 2022, an organized movement of female activists began opposing this social imperative by wearing casual attires at school, making it the first organized movement of its kind. This paper analyses the island-wide protest led by female schoolteachers as a case through a case study interview with one of the leaders of the activist movement. A document analysis is utilized to examine the background of the saree-only policy. By doing so, a broader understanding of the movement against the saree-only policy and its impetus were gained focusing on how it influenced teacher identity development. The paper offers a critical overview of the control exerted over female schoolteachers, shaped by cultural, religious, and political influences, and how the movement in 2022 reimagined their identities through changes in attire. Findings indicate that female teacher activism challenges longstanding traditions and calls for a redefinition of "Sri Lankan female teacher" exercising individual and collective agency against cultural and religious hegemony despite resistance to change at many levels.

Abstract

The rise of social media has transformed digital platforms into essential arenas for public discourse, allowing extensive user participation in content creation and modification. This shift enhances interaction and expression but also presents challenges in digital identity management, particularly regarding reputational integrity and information privacy. This study assesses the impact of digital persona management on the well-being and interpersonal development of Tanzanian adolescents aged 14 to 22. A mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative structured interviews to gather insights from a diverse group of social media users. One hundred fifty teenagers were surveyed about their online activities and overall well-being, and five focus groups with 40 participants were conducted for deeper perspectives. Results revealed that social media is a double-edged sword for teenagers, offering significant benefits and risks based on personal characteristics and usage habits. While social media can enhance social connectivity and self-expression, it also poses threats such as cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and unhealthy social comparisons, negatively affecting adolescents' mental health and social relationships. The study underscores the need for comprehensive digital literacy programs that promote responsible social media use and suggests integrating digital persona management into educational curricula to boost adolescents' resilience against adverse impacts. Additionally, it calls for policies to protect young users' privacy and ensure safe online environments. This research contributes to digital identity management theory. It offers practical recommendations for educators, parents, and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of ongoing research to adapt to the evolving digital landscape and safeguard adolescent well-being

Abstract

As competition for student enrolment intensifies, higher education institutions must understand the factors influencing students' choices to ensure their sustainability and growth. The study investigated how brand reputation and perceived benefits affect higher education enrolment intention. The study employed a concurrent mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative data from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to comprehensively understand the research problem through a triangulation approach. The first objective involved conducting qualitative exploration through seven purposively selected focus group discussions (FGDs), applying thematic analysis to identify factors influencing enrolment choices. The second objective involved utilizing structured questionnaires to collect quantitative data from a representative sample of 119 randomly selected respondents. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to analyze quantitative data and examine how brand reputation and perceived benefits influence enrolment intentions. The qualitative findings indicate that brand reputation, alum success, campus facilities, faculty expertise, financial aid, and academic programs are pivotal in shaping students' choices. Conversely, the quantitative analysis reveals that while brand names and compelling slogans positively affect enrolment intentions, brand logos do not yield a significant impact. These findings underscore the need for higher education institutions to prioritize brand reputation, alumni engagement, investment in campus facilities and faculty expertise, and financial support to enhance student attraction. This research extends brand equity theory to the higher education context, elucidating the significance of branding in enrolment decisions and enhancing academic discourse through its dual-method approach. The findings conclude that effective branding is a critical determinant of student enrolment choices, thereby offering substantial contributions to developing higher education marketing strategies.

Abstract

Teachers are reported to be constrained by financial problems like low salaries, which may negatively affect their teaching performance. Informal financial groups (IFGs) emerged as financial intermediaries, like teachers, to help individuals with financial issues. However, informal financial groups reported being connected to many challenges, including stress and conflicts, thus negatively affecting teaching performance. The proposed research aimed at understanding the implications of informal financial group participation on the teaching performance of female primary school teachers in Dodoma City, Tanzania. The study focused on a population of 63 female primary school teachers, with data collected from 34 respondents through surveys and interviews. Data analysis was employed and analyzed using SPSS and conventional content analysis. The study results were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis for Quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. The findings revealed that female primary school teachers' participation in IFGs does not significantly implicate their teaching performance. Also, the findings show that IFGs are primarily used to secure social support during unexpected events and generate extra income to meet household needs not covered by teachers' low salaries. The study provided discourse on decent financial inclusion that positively impacts work performance, such as that of teachers. The findings inform policymakers to review teachers’ remuneration to sufficiently support their livelihoods to enable them to focus on teaching activities.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of HIV/AIDS preventive initiatives specifically designed for female sex workers in Silobela, Zimbabwe. The study employed a phenomenological research approach, with intersectionality theory as its theoretical framework. Due to the delicate nature of the topic, participants were selected using a snowball sampling method. Data collection for this study involved unstructured face-to-face interviews with Female Sex Workers and Key Informant Interviews (KII), with a sample size of twelve participants. The findings were analyzed using theme analysis and revealed that Female sex workers (FSWs) in Silobela have demonstrated a keen interest in the HIV/AIDS preventative actions and initiatives done by various partners. The individuals often experienced disenchantment with these programs due to the humiliation they encountered, which resulted from stigma and rejection from both society and medical professionals. The paper proposes several measures to tackle these concerns, including raising awareness among the public about the nature of sex work and promoting reverence for individuals involved in it. These actions are expected to enhance the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention programs targeting female sex workers (FSWs) in Silobela.

Abstract

Bangladesh has different religious beliefs, diverse socio-economic backgrounds, and some distinct cultural practices. Diversity among people is reflected in their attitudes and behavior in every aspect of their lives, including their attire. The research aims to explore the attitude of the young adults of the capital city (Dhaka) towards the Western attires of women as well as the factors that shape their attitude in a time when women wearing Western attires are facing restrictions due to people's concerns about their social and cultural beliefs and religious identities. Primary data for this study were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews with the young adults of Dhaka. The quantitative data were analyzed using a descriptive statistical technique (percentage analysis), and the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the five key factors that shape the attitude of young adults towards the Western attires of women's factors include the various social, cultural, economic, and religious aspects, as well as the influence of modernization. Their attire choice varies based on age, gender, marital status, educational qualifications, religion, professions, and economic conditions. While women, unmarried, educated, wealthy, people working in the corporate sector, and the younger people of Dhaka are more likely to support Western attires, the Muslims, male, married, and the respondents of older age groups oppose provocative dresses. They emphasize social, cultural, and religious norms and maintain decency in overcoming dress-related disputes in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Biochar has been extensively studied in terms of technical and environmental aspects. The study of social aspects of biochar was infrequent. Research on the social aspects of biochar was more often linked with technological, environmental, or economic aspects. This study utilized initial data from socioeconomic aspects because socioeconomic research was more prevalent than socio-technical or socio-environmental research. The study employed a third-step analysis analysis. First, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to examine research topics related to the social economy of biochar from published articles in Scopus and Google Scholar. Data processing was used VOSviewer and the keyword "social economy of biochar." The results were several topics studied on the social economy of biochar and the most cited articles. The second step was overlay visualization figure analysis to find trends and future research topics. The third step was comparing the keywords from the bibliometric analysis with theoretical concepts related to social aspects. The bibliometric analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of biochar revealed that research focusing on the social and economic aspects was a significant area that still needs to be completed. The majority of biochar research centers on topics related to biochar processing technology, the environment, economics, and other aspects. These findings underscore the urgent need for research on the social aspects of biochar, which remains open for social science researchers. Future research is expected to conduct a more in-depth review of published articles to address the need for studies on the social aspects of biochar.

Abstract

The discussion of waqf has become a trend among academics and practitioners of Islamic economics in Indonesia in the last decade with waqf regulations and great potential. Cash waqf as a productive waqf has great potential to develop long-term Islamic financial investment for the establishment of future waqf banks. A critical issue in the establishment of waqf banks is through academic discussions and debates on how to design the ideal waqf bank organizational structure in Indonesia. Previous research on waqf banks was dominated by regulations, cash waqf, asset waqf and waqf literacy. The research aims to offer a model of the organizational structure of waqf banks in Indonesia in the future. A qualitative method with a grounded theory approach is the ideal conception of a waqf bank. The data was sourced from interviews with micro waqf bank practitioners in Banten province and data analysis with design thinking because it excels in understanding user problems. The study found six models of the ideal organizational structure applied by waqf banks in Indonesia, namely the ad-hoc committee of establishment, form of ownership, shareholders, managers, implementers, deposit guarantee institutions, auditors, and human resource recruitment standards. The research implies that the ideal application of the organizational structure of waqf banks in Indonesia in developing long-term Islamic finance will achieve the principles of sharia, legitimacy and efficiency. Research is conceptually limited and needs to be developed and tested using quantification as a consideration for the establishment of waqf banks in Indonesia.

Abstract

The South African government is grappling with youth unemployment and poverty, exacerbated by a lack of experience and skills required for job positions. The study explores the implementation of internship programs to enhance graduate employability, aiming to address South Africa's youth unemployment issue. Public Service has implemented internship programs to curb graduate unemployment, providing graduates with skills and experience to secure future employment. The study used a Mixed Research Method (MRM). Interviews and questionnaire data were collected concurrently from two different sample sizes. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, whereas qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis found four main themes: experience, skills, unemployment, and job opportunity. A sample size of (N=190) participants from the Limpopo Department of Education. The study indicates that internships enhance graduate employability for interns after the program, primarily due to the acquired skills and experience. Forty-one (41%) of respondents believe that internship programs provide graduates with valuable work experience for employability. The study contributes to the existing literature and policymakers in the Limpopo Department of Education and other institutions by enhancing internship experiences and enhancing future job prospects through experiential learning theory. The Department should implement internship programs that positively impact graduates' employability. The study concludes that internships are vital in addressing youth unemployment and providing work experience for graduates.

Abstract

The pandemic imposed a weighty socio-economic quagmire that left the residents of Joza township economically disenfranchised. The study adopted a qualitative approach and phenomenology as a specific design, with data collected from semi-structured interviews. Joza residents faced various socio-economic hurdles, which included economic decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic decline led to increased unemployment, which subjected more families to poverty. Another socio-economic hurdle that this study uncovered was the increased cost of living during the pandemic, which made many families unable to afford basic needs such as food and clothing, hence exposing many children to malnutrition. The study found that some companies resorted to retrenchments as they were not making a profit due to unfavorable economic conditions, and that led to job losses and increased crime involvement among youth. Women from previously disadvantaged communities were the most affected by the socio-economic hurdles of the COVID-19 epoch. This paper recommends that the government must increase the COVID-19 Social Relief Grant to meet the poverty line and make it permanent; the government should also strengthen support of Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) by providing more financial support to these Enterprises and encouraging them to employ youth and women. This will help reduce crime among youth and poverty among families
