Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a stylistic analysis of the selected poems of Emily Dickinson, a 19th-century poet, and Lang Leav, a contemporary poet, focused on the graphological level of the poems. The researcher selected four poems by Dickinson and Leav as the literary texts to be analyzed. Using comparative stylistic analysis, the study aims to look for the graphological features woven in the poems of Dickinson and Leav. The graphological features in the selected poems were also compared to find any significant similarities and differences between the styles of the two poets considering that they belong to different periods. Lastly, the graphological features were analyzed to know their possible effect on the meaning of the poems. As a result, archaism, eye dialect, unconventional use of em dash and capitalization, inconsistent number of lines in each stanza, and inconsistent number of words in each line were found in the selected poems of Dickinson while Leav's selected poems contain eye dialect, diacritics, minimal use of punctuation, absence of capitalization, italics, and the inconsistent number of words in each line of the poems. It was also revealed that their graphological features have more differences than similarities and the effect of these graphological features in the selected poems is mainly for emphasis and to add to the visual elements of the literary texts.

Abstract

Most governments discourage informal trading, labeling it as contradictory to development. In this regard, informal trading is considered one of the leading causes of street congestion, crime, dirt, and threatening public order.   Residents in low-income and informal settlements use street vending as a livelihood method due to scarce work opportunities in the formal sector of South Africa’s economy. This paper examines the effect of formal shopping centers in townships on street vending in South African townships. The study used a qualitative approach and collected data from secondary sources and a questionnaire. The study concluded that shopping centers have a positive impact on street vending. Street vendors and shopping centers complement each other.

Abstract

Despite advancements in understanding gender roles and family dynamics, significant gaps remain in how these dynamics operate within diverse religious contexts in Nigeria. This study aims to investigate the influence of the 'Bossman' factor, which encompasses diverse gender roles (Breadwinner, Overall decision-maker, Shared power, Supportive husband, Male authority, and Nurturer), on family communication among married women from Christian and Islamic backgrounds. Using a qualitative approach and employing thematic analysis, focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with ten married women five Muslims from the central Mosque, Uwani, Enugu State, and five Christians from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Province Five Headquarters, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu State. The findings reveal that the “Bossman” factor significantly influences decision-making processes, particularly in financial matters, and is associated with hierarchical power dynamics. Communication patterns varied from directive to collaborative styles, depending on perceived roles within the “Bossman” factor. Conflicting perceptions among participants highlighted subjective experiences within different gender roles. The study concludes that promoting egalitarian decision-making, facilitating open communication, and challenging traditional gender norms are crucial for fostering healthier family dynamics. These findings contribute to the understanding of gender roles and family communication in diverse cultural and religious settings, offering valuable implications for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars focused on enhancing family well-being.

Abstract

Gender is a sensitive issue in the traditional societal setup of Bangladesh. People hesitate to discuss gender even in the 21st century. The problem of gender inequality has been widespread in Bangladesh since the ancient and medieval periods. Moreover, this problem is more acute in rural parts of the country, where people have less privilege and live in a more conservative society. This qualitative study explored rural communities' social, cultural, and economic structure to determine the social factors of gender inequality in rural Bangladesh. To do that, this study used a qualitative research approach. Employing semi-structured in-depth interviews and critically analyzing secondary data, the research scrutinized the perspectives of male and female village residents across diverse roles, such as students, employees, farmers, homemakers, and entrepreneurs. The findings highlighted several social factors causing gender disparity, including the inescapable influence of patriarchal structures, gender stereotypes, preference for male offspring, child marriage, the notion of girls as liabilities, a lack of awareness, socioeconomic barriers, and a lack of explicit policy. With nearly 60.29% of the total population residing in remote areas where gender gaps persist, this research sheds light on the urgent need for intervention. Moreover, this study provided significant recommendations after critically examining the findings. Finally, the study underlined the imperative for governmental and decision-making bodies to prioritize these findings, advocating for the introduction of comprehensive gender awareness initiatives within rural communities to combat deep-rooted inequalities and pave the way toward a more equitable society.

Abstract

Traditional initiation rites remain integral to cultural identity and coming-of-age practices in many African societies, significantly influencing educational outcomes. While existing literature predominantly emphasizes the negative impacts of these practices on education, limited research explores their comprehensive effects on female students' educational attainment, particularly in the coastal region of Tanzania. This study aimed to investigate how traditional initiation rites influence students' educational attainment in the Chalinze District, Coast Region, in the United Republic of Tanzania. Guided by Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, the study employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through interviews, focus group discussions, and documentary reviews involving educational officers, teachers, parents, and students. The findings revealed a complex interplay between traditional practices and education, where initiation rites caused significant academic disruptions and behavioral transformations. Notably, key findings indicated that, in addition to post-initiation autonomy, ceremonial gift-giving practices and teachings from traditional instructors frequently resulted in educational challenges, including dropouts, early marriages, and teenage pregnancies. The study concludes that, while traditional rites hold cultural significance, their current implementation patterns considerably constrain educational attainment. This research contributes to understanding the cultural-educational nexus in Tanzania and recommends reforming initiation practices to align with educational goals, implementing cultural education programs, and establishing collaborative frameworks between traditional authorities and educational institutions to harmonize cultural practices with academic achievement.

Abstract

This research explores the role of rural social entrepreneurship in promoting sustainable community development, focusing on Ukkrit Farm Hill as a case study. The study highlights the unique challenges faced by rural enterprises, such as geographical isolation and limited resources, which necessitate distinct strategies for success. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research integrated in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to gather rich, contextual data from various stakeholders, including the farm owner, community members, and tourists. The findings reveal that Ukkrit Farm Hill effectively combines agritourism, sustainable agriculture, and community engagement, fostering economic resilience and social cohesion. This integrated approach not only enhances income diversity but also strengthens community ties and ecological stewardship. The study concludes that rural social enterprises can create sustainable solutions by leveraging local resources and fostering community involvement, thereby bridging the gap in existing literature on rural entrepreneurship and contributing to the attainment of sustainable development goals.

Abstract

The political landscape of Bangladesh presents a complex tapestry of progress and challenges regarding women's representation. This study aims to identify the status of women in the top political and administrative arena of Bangladesh and shed light on the factors that are responsible for such positions. The study employed an exploratory research design, utilizing a phenomenological research approach. The study followed the purposive sampling technique to collect 13 respondents, including members of parliament, cabinet members, local government representatives, and different political party members. The findings of the study depict that women's representation in the parliament and cabinet remains insignificant in making substantive decisions. Cultural and social structural barriers, muscle politics, and reluctance to adopt change by top political leadership are considered the main barriers in this regard. This research represents a distinctive addition to the interdisciplinary fields of gender studies and political science in Bangladesh, employing both primary and secondary data to arrive at a clear and definitive conclusion regarding the subject matter under investigation.

Abstract

The development of mass tourism in islands is encountering issues of resource depletion and overcapacity. Simultaneously, sustainable tourism models seek to mitigate adverse effects but do not entirely restore impacted destinations. Consequently, regenerative tourism grounded in a circular economy may serve as a viable solution to the challenges faced by islands. Con Dao, a small, ecological island in Vietnam facing significant environmental problems due to growing mass tourism, serves as a case study to explore the above integration. This paper aims to develop a regenerative tourism model based on the circular economy concept through field research and in-depth interviews with tourists, local officials, and tourism businesses. The results showed that the model is made up of three main domains: (1) a circular tourism value chain that makes the best use of resources and cuts down on waste; (2) circular and regenerative governance that encourages stakeholders to work together and makes sure that policies are aligned; and (3) regenerative tourism practices that encourage responsible behavior that is good for ecological recovery. This study also introduces specific techniques for each component to provide theoretical and practical contributions.

Abstract

This research explored workplace bullying (WB) among academic staff, recognizing its detrimental effects on mental health and job performance. The study aimed to understand the WB experienced by academic staff and its impact on their work effectiveness and to propose solutions. There is a significant gap in research regarding WB in academia, particularly affecting academic personnel. Using a qualitative exploratory design, the researchers accessed only six academic staff members conveniently, due to the sensitive nature of the study and conducted semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed manually through thematic analysis and inductive coding. Findings revealed that workplace bullying is prevalent among junior and new academic staff members due to power abuse, due to junior and new staff powerlessness, inability to command respect, and due to their general lack of community and collegiality. Consequently, the presence of WB negatively affects the victims mentally leading to deteriorated job performance. The study underscores workplace bullying as a critical issue, affecting both employee welfare and organizational effectiveness. The HEI should implement mental well-being strategies, such as peer support systems, mentoring, and workshops on bullying in the workplace. The HEI has first-hand information about WB, its consequences, and how to prevent and minimize the effects through the WB policy development.
