Facilitating the Smooth Migration of Inhabitants of Atoll Countries to Artificial Islands: Case of the Maldives

The vulnerability of atoll countries to sea level rise underscores the pivotal connection between climate change and migration. This study examines the multifaceted challenges faced by such countries, including land loss, economic disruption, water contamination, and increased vulnerability to extreme weather events, and potential adaptation strategies, such as migration to developed countries and other islands, land reclamation, and floating platform development. The situation of the Maldives, particularly the creation of the artificial island of Hulhumalé, is explored as a case study. Hulhumalé is designed to alleviate congestion while addressing concerns about rising sea levels. This study employed a questionnaire survey and analyzed the data using importance analysis of permutation features and structural equation modeling following the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney tests. The results revealed that the key factors influencing resident satisfaction after migration were clean housing, resilience to natural disasters, sports facilities, and environmental quality. Adaptation strategies must be tailored to each country’s unique circumstances, considering the interconnectedness of environmental and socioeconomic factors in addressing climate-induced migration. Considering Hulhumalé as a model for climate change adaptation, concerted global action is necessary to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure the security and well-being of vulnerable populations.

Decolonizing family language policy, or reimagining family multilingualism as an inclusive field

As a commentary to a special issue dedicated to multilingualism within the family from southern and decolonial approaches, this article examines what it could mean to ‘decolonize the field of family language policy’ – or, rather, to reimagine this field in terms of the more all-encompassing label of family multilingualism. It draws on my own experience of the difficulty of fitting into a field configured in English, from my position as a French researcher working in the contexts of the so-called Global South and supervising students who come from backgrounds minoritized in France and who are personally involved in the subjects on which they work. This commentary has thus been written from relative marginality in this field and out of an experience of both familiarity and foreignness. By proposing four lateral moves, it adds to studies calling for viewpoints to be situated, for voices from the south to be included and for knowledge itself to be decolonized. These lateral moves form part of an attempt to decolonize this academic field if we are to take seriously the need to clean house within the academy itself so that knowledges rooted in western/northern experiences and traditions are simply part of the palette of knowledges.

Collaboration of Islamic and Christian Teachers in Implementing Religious Moderation Education

This article aims to reveal the collaboration of Islamic and Christian religious teachers in SMA/SMK in the Pantai Labu District. The method used is descriptive research with a field approach and data analysis named after Miles and Huberman. The research results found were [1]. The activity of combining students in one group to clean houses of worship, both mosques and churches, has been carried out by Islamic and Christian religious teachers. The target is of course to provide experience and habituation for students to do together in every social activity, [2]. If there are friends and parents of grieving students, Islamic and Christian religious teachers always combine Muslim and Christian students to attend the visit. [3]. If any of the students are experiencing grief, the Islamic and Christian religion teachers direct students to give their sincerity in collecting the finances that will be given to the grieving students without discriminating between race, ethnicity, and religion owned by each student. [4]. Familiarize students to support each other in completing the equipment needed for the activities of religious holidays. [5].Inviting each other to religious holidays.

It can open up space for thoughts if teachers are contaminated with narrow thinking.

Environmental Sanitation with the Incidence of Helmothermal Disease

Environmental sanitation of an environment consisting of sewage facilities, water supply facilities, garbage disposal facilities, and wastewater disposal facilities. And the sanitation must be owned by every housing that is maintained, clean and healthy, in order to prevent environmental pollution. This study was conducted with the aim to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of helminthiasis in elementary school children in the Barrang Lompo island area with a sample size of 143 children aged 5-10 years. The variables in this study were fecal disposal facilities (latrines), house floors, provision of trash bins, and clean water facilities as part of environmental sanitation. The method used was observational method with cross sectional study design. The results of this study were there was no relationship between latrine ownership and helminthiasis with a value of P = 0.077 > 0.05. There is a relationship between the floor of the house and the incidence of helminthiasis where the value of P = 0.000 < 0.005. There is a relationship between clean water facilities and the incidence of helminthiasis where P value = 0.000 < 0.05. There is a relationship between waste disposal facilities and the incidence of helminthiasis where the P value = 0.000 < 0.05. The conclusion shows that there is an association between helminthiasis in children aged 5-10 years with clean water facilities, house floors, and garbage disposal.

Clean Water, Housing Condition, and Diarrhea among Children under Five Years Old in Indonesia: Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)

Introduction: Diarrhea is still a challenging health problem for children under five years of age in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the effect, either direct or indirect, of child characteristics, family characteristics, drinking water sources and housing conditions on diarrhea in Indonesia. Methods: Children under five years old were selected from the total samples used in the Indonesia Demography and Health Survey (IDHS)in 2017. The research samples accounted for 17,263 children chosen for further investigation. Multiple regression logistics and PLS-SEM tests were employed to analyze the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Results: The logistic analysis yielded results that family wealth, toilet, walls, floor of the house, and location of the houses significantly influenced the access to clean water sources. Moreover, child’s gender, age, family wealth, floor of the house, and location were significantly associated with the prevalence of diarrhea. Obtained from Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, results found that wealth had the highest path coefficient of 0.324, indicating a high effect on diarrhea rates. The contribution of the residence to housing (β = 0.035) and water (β = 0.204) to diarrhea incidence was of positive significance, while water and diarrhea were statistically negative in contributing to diarrhea incidence (β =-0.019). In addition, residence and wealth on water and diarrhea had a partial mediator effect (β = -0.004 and -0.004, respectively). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the accessibility to clean water source was an intervening variable that plays an important role in diarrhea cases in Indonesia. Besides, wealth and residence influenced the prevalence of diarrhea.

Difficulty Accessing Drinking Water during COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

The problem of the availability of clean and safe water in Indonesia has increased during global climate change. The conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic also have an impact on increasing domestic water use. This study aims to assess drinking water access in household during COVID-19 pandemic.

The Agonising Narrative of Environmental Dilapidation in the tussle of Armed Conflict; From the Lens of International Humanitarian Laws

It is reasonable that humans have long recorded war fatalities in terms of injuries, death of combatants and civilians, the devastation of cities, and lost livelihoods; we fail to consider the environment, yet, we cannot disregard this issue. The study focuses on how war fuelled catastrophic environmental proceedings have continued to contamination of land, destruction of forests, plunder natural resources, and climate change, forcing the mass displacement of populations within and across borders and creating threats to human health; accordingly, these threats include the direct and indirect consequences of war and conflict such as a lack of clean air, water, nutrition, and housing, increased exposure to infectious diseases, and psychological trauma. The United Nations already tries to reduce the destruction from warfare through international laws called the Fourth Geneva Convention. However, this law has not stopped the degradation of the environment during the war. There is a need for a new set of rules that protect human health and the environment during armed conflict. In this study, the current study engaged in the debate and contextualises it with the research related to the war and environment to offer a better explanation than what already exists and, on its subtext, what the social renovation model needs to bear to stand the test of time and challenges. This research is a normative legal study in which part of the literature will be reviewed to acquire the necessary data using normative approaches. This study will collect and use secondary data from primary, secondary, and legal documents.

For action, it can be seen from the verses used in the Barazanji activity which have a message of praise to the prophet while non-verbs can be seen from the objects used such as umbrellas that symbolize the social level.

Review of Making Livable Worlds: Afro-Puerto Rican Women Building Environmental Justice by Hilda Lloréns (University of Washington Press)

This review examines Hilda Lloréns’s research into the role that Afro-Puerto Rican women play in advocating for environmental justice and building a sustainable environment in the Puerto Rican archipelago, particularly after the devastation left behind by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, and the subsequent catastrophic effects of COVID-19 in 2020. Lloréns shows that Afro-Puerto Rican women are able to survive in the face of racial and ecological discriminations and marginalizations, and their survival is emblematic of Puerto Rico’s own survival. The author devotes the entirety of her book to show that as an "ethnographer of home," as she calls herself, it is essential for people to create livable worlds within which they can survive. Survival in the midst of catastrophic climate change is difficult, Lloréns argues, primarily because Puerto Ricans are often on the receiving end of austerity measures that make their existence tenuous, at best. These austerity measures typically come after a climatic event, and result in limited access to clean water, food, electricity, healthcare, housing, and education, which only serve to exacerbate the desperation that many on the island feel. While this desperation was widespread across the island after the hurricanes in 2017, residents in the southeastern region of the island (predominantly Afro-Puerto Ricans) were even more affected. Lloréns shows how these people used their limited resources to cull an existence out of a seemingly hostile land and create a community that sustained them. Lloréns draws on personal experiences, the experiences of her family, ethnography, anthropology, and interviews to show how vital it is to examine Puerto Rico not as a homogenous space but rather as a heterogeneous one with its unique complexities. And by centering the work and experiences of Black Puerto Ricans, Lloréns gives voice to a group that is largely left on the margins of society, but who demonstrates the importance of building community as a sustaining entity.

Traditional Pre-Christmas Holidays of Western Podillya

"The article analyzes folk winter holidays celebrated in December before Christmas as the greatest holiday of all Christians. There is a combination of folk (pre-Christian) traditions with Christian traditions, which co-exist to this day. The holidays analyzed in the research are dedicated to the most common names of saints in Western Podillya (as well as in Ukraine as a whole), which are most often given to the local residents. Dmytro’s/St. Demetrios Day celebration, in addition to its Christian custom, characterized by church services in memory of martyrs and honoring birthday people, is also known by the traditions related to celebrating the land in winter period, protecting cattle, as well as the cult of deceased ancestors. Celebrations of Dmytro’s/St. Demetrios holiday are proceeded by the celebration of Michael’s Day, which symbolizes the arrival of winter. In Western Podillya St. Michael is known as a protector against evil forces. He is also perceived by the locals as the patron saint of wild forest animals and hunters. Until the middle of the 20th century St. Catherine’s Day celebration in Western Podillya followed the rituals reflecting pre-Christian beliefs. Among them are rites of “destiny calling”, fortune telling and divination (considering the destiny of a future marriage couple), as well as honoring the cult of ancestors. During Varvara/St. Barbara celebration the most evident are magical actions associated with fire and water as the main elements in the world creation and symbols of the Nativity of Jesus Christ in the Christian tradition. Such lunar symbols as dumplings and pies are important for the understanding of celebration rituals. Most ritual actions convey love courtships related to the choice of a future marriage partner. St. Anna’s holiday completes the cycle of holidays related to Christmas celebrations. It marks the beginning of Christmas preparations: women clean houses, men arrange farm buildings and property, provide food for festive meals, girls organize groups for singing carols and other traditional customs of Christmas holidays celebration. Keywords: Western Podillya, Christian religion, ceremonial action, divination, folk holiday. "

We are under attack: Terrorist attacks and director turnover

Motivated by the challenge in the director turnover literature to distinguish between board-initiated dismissals (i.e., ‘clean house’) and director-initiated departures (i.e., ‘jump ship’), we study director turnover in firms local to terrorist attacks (hereafter, TA firms). We argue that director turnover following a terrorist attack is more likely to reflect directors' ‘jump ship’ decision rather than a board's ‘clean house’ decision. We find that directors have a disproportionately greater tendency to leave TA firms after an attack. Further analyses reveal that director turnover is lower when directors perceive the larger benefits or lower costs of staying in TA firms. We also find that directors' decisions to exit or stay are economically meaningful to TA firms and directors themselves. Specifically, by retaining directors, TA firms can reduce their post-attack stock return volatility; by remaining with TA firms, directors will receive more future board seats and committee roles. Overall, our results suggest that the act of staying, in and of itself, signals directors' superior quality within the labour market, and the labour market tends to assess directors' abilities through their turnover decisions after terrorist attacks.

The conclusion of this study is that the majority of people in this coastal area still have poor sanitation knowledge and behavior.

The House on Mango Street: A Parable of Degeneration or a Chicana Rewriting of Charles Kingsley’s The Water-Babies

Reading Charles Kingsley’s The Water-Babies (1863) makes it possible for Esperanza Cordero to imagine an idyllic site of empowered identity in The House on Mango Street. Yet, I argue that Esperanza’s transformed identity can only reside outside her original community and that her journey from the sad red house of Mango Street to her reconceived clean house at the end of the text is necessarily a trajectory of desired uprootedness that follows the script presented in The Water-Babies. Like Tom, Kingsley’s protagonist, Esperanza undergoes a metamorphosis to shed off the traits that categorize her as Chicana in order to embrace a remodeled subjectivity and, consequently, become an ontologically deterritorialized Hispanic.
