Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of social attitudes on women entrepreneurs in Algerian environment. The main obstacle for women entrepreneurs in Algeria is that entrepreneurship was reserved for males, therefore, considered as a male occupation. To be entrepreneurs, women have to face negative reactions and pressures from society: the family, the neighbours, men, and even females. Several people, including females, do not accept to work under the supervision of women. In order to shed light on this problem, a questionnaire was used for the collection of data, and filled in by a sample of 30 randomly chosen women entrepreneurs. Means and percentages of answers were computed. Social attitudes were found to be the source of constraints and cause problems for women entrepreneurs in Algeria. Results from this research can be used by decision-makers in making the right decisions for the benefit of women entrepreneurship in the Middle East and North Africa.

Abstract

The paper aims to explore the relationship between gender roles and development infrastructure projects in the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector in rural Uganda. It focuses on the influence of various factors including education and governance. Insights into developing infrastructure that addresses the needs of communities could emerge from understanding the multiple dimensions of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect the roles that men and women play within the WASH sector. This study adopted a qualitative approach. Fieldwork has been undertaken in a number of rural communities in south Uganda, where group discussions and interviews were conducted with key players in the WASH sector, government representatives, and people from the communities. The collected data provided an understanding of how gender roles are influenced by other factors, as they are dependent on, and formed by, other social structures, and consequently how this relationship influences the infrastructure. The findings highlight the importance of good leadership by both men and women at community level, which leads to improvements in WASH infrastructure provision. Moreover, there seems to be a strong relationship between educating women and improved sanitation and hygiene practices. Finally, cultural attributes seem to have a strong influence on the way men and women view water and sanitation tasks, how they perform them, and how they engage with and value the infrastructure. The paper gives an overview of the findings and suggests future research which can lead to new evidence to support gender-sensitive infrastructure.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to develop an interactive medical communication board that would be adaptable both in terms of language and metaphor. This board would be tested on diverse population to assess its efficacy in clinical diagnosis to help new female immigrants and their children. Therefore, this study intends to develop an assistive visualization tool of medical communication to achieve the objective of friendly communication among foreign spouses, ill children, and medical service. This research project focuses on integrating medical and design professional fields to develop medical information and auxiliary communication tool, as well as to design doctor-patient communication APP prototype concept. Design draft and discussion with users were conducted. The study mainly adopted interviews, observations, and User Experience Innovation Design (UXID) to carry out interviews with 24 Vietnamese and Indonesian new immigrant women. These firsthand practical data were then transcribed and sorted out. By designing an APP prototype, researchers finally achieved the purpose of assisting new immigrant women in seeking health care and expressing their symptoms. This study is a pioneer study in health communication for immigrants and it can also serve as a reference for other follow-up studies.

Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the issue of domestic violence against men and raise awareness of domestic violence against men to the people. This issue is slowly becoming one of the serious issues in the world, not only Malaysia. Many reports have showed that women nowadays are becoming more dominant and aggressive than men. This study conducted a thorough literature review to obtain relevant data. To access the relevant information books, journals, magazines and websites were assessed. Research found out that domestic violence against men is not a concern and even ignored by the people because it is hard to identify. Moreover, male victims always choose to keep silent. These findings have shed light on an important issue and also provided guidance for abused men to seek help when the violence happens in Malaysia. This study also rendered useful suggestions for authorities to address this issue.
