Abstract

Policy implementation is a complex process that involves various factors such as the personal and official interests of actors, implanting agencies, and different contexts in the country. Although municipal solid waste management is an essential policy that must be implemented in any country to fulfil citizens’ expectations of living in good health and clean environments, it is a critical issue in many countries. To address these challenges, the government of Sri Lanka introduced the National Solid Waste Management Policy in 2007, based on internationally recognized principles, including waste reduction. Evidence shows that Municipal Solid Waste Management Policy has failed in Sri Lanka. This study examines how social norms, public attitudes, and the behaviour of actors, including citizens, the private sector, public officers, and political leaders, affect the implementation of the 2007 National Solid Waste Management Policy. This qualitative study utilized primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through 30 semi-structured interviews and two focus group discussions conducted from November 2019 to January 2020. Research findings reveal that social norms, public attitudes, and behaviour contribute significantly to increased food waste volumes in Sri Lanka as traditional practices of food preservation, and waste minimization has been replaced by changes in lifestyle and attitudes of the people over decades. Furthermore, research findings show that negative attitudes and behaviour of political and bureaucratic leaders adversely impacted policy implementation, including conflicts among actors, delayed infrastructure development, unequal and unfair resource distribution, and hindered the quality of waste management through corrupt practices.

Abstract

Eurocentric myths about Western scientific and technological superiority persist in popular culture and some scholarly circles. A prevalent myth suggests that Islamic contributions to modern science were primarily the transmission of ancient Greek and Roman knowledge to medieval and early modern Europe. A less extreme version posits significant contributions during Islam's "Golden Age," followed by a decline between the late eleventh and late fourteenth centuries. This paper challenges these narratives, presenting recent scholarship that demonstrates continuous major advances in astronomy, physics, mathematics, and medicine by Islamic scholars throughout the late Middle Ages and into the early modern period. The study underscores the inadequacy of the classical narrative, which claims that Islamic scientific activity declined after an initial period of prosperity. Historians like Eugene von Grunebaum, Otto Neugebauer, and George Saliba have provided evidence that Islamic scholars not only preserved ancient knowledge but also made original contributions that influenced later European developments. This includes advancements in fields such as astronomy, where figures like Nasir al-Din al-Tusi and Ibn al-Shatir developed models later utilized by Copernicus. The paper also highlights continued progress in medicine and mathematics, with scholars like Al-Razi and Ibn Sina making lasting impacts on European scientific thought. The article argues for a re-evaluation of the role of Islamic sciences, emphasizing that many significant contributions remain understudied due to a lack of accessible manuscript sources. By debunking the myth of decline, the paper calls for recognition of the dynamic and sustained intellectual activity within Islamic cultures, which continued to produce influential scientific work well into the early modern era.

Abstract

On 26th—29th March, 2023, Kamala Harris, the Vice President (VP) of the United States of America’s leftist party visited Ghana. The visit couched as part of the US seeking to strengthen diplomatic ties with Ghana rather generated the opposite response from the Ghanaian religious constituency. In this article, the author argues that, the US’s VP’s visit was rather read by the country’s overwhelming religious constituency as a decoy on the part of the US to advance its neo-colonial cultural revolution as part of the 21st century globalism. Taking the argument from the beginning of the 21st century, the author maintains that, the utopian idea of the US-dominated world that would foster the end of autocracy and birth economic prosperity has arguably failed. The failure of the vision of globalisation is, as the author argues, because America’s pursuit of ideological politics in support of minority sexual rights runs contrary to the aspiration of family as a religious mandate in the orthodoxy and orthopraxy of Ghana’s religious constituency. Consequently, the author analysing online news report about the backlash that emerged from the US’s VP’s visit concludes that, both Ghana’s President and US VP were involved in making use of the word “we” in direct violation of the terms of the social contract that invest “we” in the people, not the presidents as individuals. Concurrently, compounded by a world reeling under the major disruptions that the coronavirus pandemic caused and the impact of the current impasse between Russia and Ukraine, the author maintains that, America’s cultural and social revolution remains the nemesis of the aspirations of globalisation.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between authoritarian parenting and adolescent psychological well-being, aiming to clarify how maternal and paternal practices influence developmental outcomes. The research was conducted with 200 adolescents aged 13–19 years, employing standardized measures of psychological well-being and parental authoritarian style. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, percentile-based categorization, assumption testing, correlation analysis, and additional tests based on demographic variables. The findings reveal significant negative correlations between authoritarian parenting and psychological well-being, with maternal authoritarian practices showing a stronger association than paternal practices. While the strength of the correlations was relatively weak, the results highlight that low responsiveness and high demandingness in parenting diminish adolescents’ self-acceptance, optimism, and supportive relationships. Intercorrelation analyses further demonstrated that maternal and paternal low responsiveness were most strongly linked with reduced well-being, while additional tests showed stronger effects among male adolescents and significant differences based on parental education level. These findings align with international research emphasizing the adverse consequences of authoritarian parenting, yet they also underscore the moderating role of cultural norms, socioeconomic factors, and gender. The study contributes to theoretical debates by illustrating how parenting styles intersect with demographic variables to influence adolescent well-being, while also providing practical implications for parenting interventions and school-based mental health programs. In conclusion, the results affirm the need for culturally sensitive approaches to parenting education and policy, and they encourage future longitudinal and cross-cultural research to further explore these complex dynamics.

Abstract

Marriage remains a critical institution influencing individual well-being, family stability, and social cohesion, particularly in collectivist contexts where multigenerational households are common. This study aimed to examine how emotional expressivity—both positive and negative—relates to marital satisfaction among Indonesian couples living with parents or in-laws. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational design, data were collected from 67 married individuals through validated Indonesian adaptations of the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction scale and the Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire. Descriptive analyses indicated generally low levels of marital satisfaction, medium to high positive expressivity, and low negative expressivity. Correlation results revealed that positive expressivity was significantly associated with higher marital satisfaction, whereas negative expressivity predicted lower satisfaction, though with varying strength across subgroups. Demographic analyses showed that gender, marital duration, number of children, and income moderated these associations, with positive expressivity particularly salient for women, couples in mid-marriage, and those at or below the minimum wage. These findings align with prior research emphasizing the protective role of positive emotional communication and the risks of negative expression, while extending these insights into the Indonesian cultural context. The study contributes theoretically by integrating cultural and structural moderators into models of marital satisfaction and practically by suggesting that marital counseling and policy initiatives should promote constructive emotional expression to sustain marital stability. Overall, the findings underscore that in multigenerational households, emotional expressivity functions as a key determinant of marital well-being and resilience.

Abstract

This review article explores the remarkable evolution of Singapore's education system, which has been meticulously developed over the past four and a half decades. This system has not only achieved exceptional efficiency but has also garnered global acclaim. A testament to its success is the consistently outstanding performance of Singaporean students in international assessments, in which they frequently outperform their peers from other advanced nations. Singapore's education system is a journey of meticulous crafting from its nascent stages to its current state of excellence. This article examines the various phases of development that have shaped Singapore's educational landscape. A critical aspect of this transformation is the high-quality functioning of educational institutions that are seamlessly integrated into the nation's economic framework. This integration has resulted in an education system that is both compact and robust, thus effectively contributing to Singapore's socioeconomic development. The focal point of this study is the unique administrative and management strategies employed within the Singaporean educational system. These strategies have been instrumental in driving the system towards excellence. The insights presented in this article are drawn from the findings of a 2023 working visit by the administrative delegation of Tashkent State University of Economics to Singapore. Through this visit, the delegation gleaned valuable observations and lessons from Singapore's education model. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of these findings, offering a detailed examination of the elements that constitute Singapore's educational prowess.

Abstract

This study investigates how Nollywood, Nigeria’s dynamic film industry, constructs and negotiates cultural identity and ethnocentrism within Southern Nigerian cinema. Anchored in Auteur Theory, Reflective–Projective Theory, and Cultivation Theory, it explores directors’ roles as cultural authors whose creative decisions shape perceptions of authenticity, morality, and national identity. Employing a qualitative, interpretive design and content analysis of secondary data, the research examines films and scholarly works that reflect Nollywood’s evolving socio-cultural narratives. Findings reveal that while Nollywood often reproduces ethnocentric and patriarchal ideologies through recurrent tropes, it simultaneously acts as a medium for cultural preservation, resistance, and dialogue. Directors emerge as mediators between tradition and modernity, balancing local authenticity with global market pressures intensified by digital technologies and transnational streaming platforms. Furthermore, the study identifies an emerging feminist consciousness among female filmmakers who challenge entrenched gender hierarchies. These dynamics underscore Nollywood’s dual character as both a cultural mirror and a transformative force capable of redefining African modernity and soft power. The research contributes to understanding the intersection of authorship, globalization, and representation in African cinema and highlights Nollywood’s potential to promote inclusive narratives and intercultural understanding while reinforcing Nigeria’s role as a leading voice in global cultural production.

Abstract

The present study intends to investigate how the complexity of the economy responds to human capital investment and institutional development in Africa by employing the system GMM on panel data comprising 31 African economies over the period 2011-2020. However, earlier studies tended to ignore these interdependencies. More critically, our results indicate that the development of human capital enables the economic complexity in Africa. On the other hand, governance institutions’ quality in terms of control of corruption, voice and accountability, political stability, and the absence of violence and terrorism do not have any impact on economic complexity. Their effect on governance remains insignificant if governance is measured via government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the rule of law. This research highlights the importance of diversifying African economies by promoting human capital investments and governance reforms that reduce corruption, ensure transparency and accountability in government, and stabilize politics. Our results also show that infrastructural development and GDP per capita are the major drivers of economic complexity in Africa, whereas international tourism appears to have a significant negative effect. Therefore, we provide several policy suggestions to reflect these insights.

Abstract

​This study explores the portrayal of women on social media and its implications for gender representation, empowerment, and social work practice. It investigates how digital platforms simultaneously perpetuate stereotypes and foster spaces for resistance and advocacy. Using qualitative content analysis, data were collected from Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok to examine recurring themes in visual and textual portrayals of women. The analysis identified four dominant categories—body image, gender stereotypes, empowerment, and activism—revealing the paradox of social media as both a site of self-objectification and a medium for feminist expression. Findings indicate that while idealized portrayals reinforce unrealistic beauty standards and psychological strain, movements such as #MeToo and #BodyPositivity redefine empowerment and visibility in digital spaces. The study further highlights how intersectionality and algorithmic bias which influence women’s voices are amplified or silenced online, emphasizing the persistence of structural inequalities within digital environments. Integrating social work and media literacy emerges as a transformative approach to fostering critical awareness, resilience, and ethical engagement. Overall, the research contributes to feminist digital scholarship by illuminating the complex interplay between empowerment, inequality, and representation, urging policymakers, educators, and practitioners to promote inclusive, equitable, and socially conscious media practices that advance gender justice in the digital age.​

Abstract

This research is intended to determine the role of the personality traits of neuroticism and forgiveness on the psychological well-being of students. The research subjects were active students at various universities in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The method used is a quantitative method. Data were collected using the Personality Scale, Neuroticism subscale, Forgiveness Scale, and SPANE, and SWLS. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research hypothesis is that forgiveness acts as a mediator in the relationship between the personality trait of emotional stability and students' subjective well-being. The results of the research show that the neuroticism variable plays a role in the forgiveness variable with a standardized regression coefficient value of -0.569 and a significance of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), the forgiveness variable plays a role in the subjective well-being variable with a standardized regression coefficient value of 0.264 and a significance of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), and the neuroticism variable plays a role in the subjective well-being variable with a standardized regression coefficient value of -0.485 and a significance of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05).
