Leveraging the Social Fabric to Improve Rural E-Commerce Access

Motivated by recent developments aimed to address last-mile delivery challenges in rural areas of Indonesia and China, we develop a theoretical model to study how to lower participation barriers to the e-commerce market. We analyze how stage stations lower the cost of last-mile delivery by leveraging the preexisting social fabric in rural communities, including local stores, as well as social technologies such as chat services and virtual groups. Specifically, we examine two models, a decentralized model with stage stations run by independent agents, and a centralized model, similar to the one pioneered by Alibaba Taobao. We find that when the delivery cost in rural areas is high, the decentralized model can lower the participation cost and increase both platform profit and social welfare. In general, the centralized model outperforms the decentralized one. One reason is that the decentralized model suffers from a double marginalization problem. The centralized model has more flexibility, for example, in determining the pricing policies for both sellers and buyers. It could offer free service to rural customers if the participation of fresh rural customers can attract many additional sellers. However, a centralized model may not be feasible in many countries. Therefore, we explore whether the platform can implement a coordination mechanism for decentralized stage stations. We find that our proposed coordination mechanism can improve the performance of the decentralized model. Our results have important implications for how e-commerce platforms can leverage stage stations and social technologies to lower participation barriers for rural customers, thereby creating a more inclusive development model.

Implementing an Inclusive-Collaborative Development Model to Create Prosperity for the Poor

Objective: According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik/BPS) of Lampung Province, Republic of Indonesia, the poverty rate has reached 11.57%. The high poverty rate shows that the government's current development treatment is still ineffective. In addition, development that is not on target increases the exclusion of people's lives, especially those with low incomes, so poor people are seen as not enjoying total prosperity. Based on this, research regarding applying a collaborative, inclusive development model to create prosperity for people experiencing poverty must be carried out to alleviate poverty and increase prosperity. The aim is to find a formulation to create sustainable prosperity and reduce poverty. Method: This research will use a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews, observation, and documentation. The data obtained is in the form of primary data and secondary data. Primary data was taken from interviews and direct observation, while secondary data was obtained from books and journals related to the research context. This research was conducted for poor communities in Kota Agung Barat District, Tanggamus Regency. Results: This research shows that the government implemented an inclusive-collaborative model to create prosperity for poor communities. The community remains involved in development aspects. The community's contribution to development involves providing ideas, suggestions, and energy in executing development. Thus, the Kota Agung Barat District development, Tanggamus Regency, helps create community welfare. Conclusion: The implementation of collaborative, inclusive development in Kota Agung Barat District, Tanggamus Regency, has been carried out. Local communities are sufficiently involved in the development process. Community involvement starts from planning, preparation, and execution to evaluation.

Current directions of inclusive development of small and medium-sized enterprises of Ukraine in the agricultural industry

The article is devoted to studying the critical role played by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in forming the system of inclusive development of the agro-food industry in Ukraine. The urgency of this issue becomes evident in the conditions of a full-scale war and the need for post-war reconstruction. To achieve this goal, the work uses various research methods, including survey-analytical, abstract-logical generalization, graphic method, system analysis, and synthesis. In this work, the institutional prerequisites of the concept of inclusive development were determined, strategies in this direction were outlined, and scientific approaches to interpreting the term "inclusive development" were generalized. We offer a conceptual model of the inclusive development of SMEs in Ukraine and have identified the role of SMEs in forming an inclusive environment of the agro-food sector. The development of SMEs in the agri-food industry should be based on inclusiveness, which involves including different groups of society, ensuring equal opportunities, and supporting participation in entrepreneurship. The agri-food sector requires the ability of SMEs to develop sustainably and innovate. Inclusive development should focus on creating conditions for innovative growth, which will contribute to the competitiveness of enterprises. It is essential to emphasize the role of SMEs in fulfilling the social mission, mainly promoting the preservation and development of regional communities, and ensuring quality products and employment. Effective inclusive development involves establishing partnerships between SMEs, the public sector, and government institutions and ensuring access to financial, technological, and educational resources. The inclusive development of SMEs in the agri-food sector must consider gender aspects, promoting equal access of women and men to entrepreneurial activities. The article also analyzes the existing and prospective state support mechanisms for SMEs in wartime. We consider how SMEs can influence the country's post-war reconstruction in the context of the agri-food industry. Our further research will be aimed at substantiating the main directions of SME development in the conditions of an inclusive economy, improving the toolkit for assessing the inclusive development of SMEs and substantiating the model of inclusive development of SMEs in the agri-food industry. Keywords: small and medium-sized enterprises, inclusive development, inclusion, concept of inclusive development, model of inclusive development, agri-food industry, agri-food enterprises

Management mechanism for the formation of an inclusive model of the develop-ment of business structures of agribusiness

Agriculture is an integral part of inclusive development, as it is 2-4 times more effective in reducing poverty than other sectors based on the same level of investment. The study of realities and the search for drivers of the development of the agro-food system requires the adaptation of the research methodology of inclusive growth (in particular, concepts, criteria, indicators, evaluation methods, etc.) following the tasks of sustainable development of the agro-food system under modern economic conditions. Only inclusive growth will ensure the realization of the threefold task of food independence physical and economic availability of food for all sections of the population. The paper examines the main theoretical provisions of forming an inclusive model of the development of entrepreneurial structures of agribusiness and their role in the formation of management decisions. Systematic management of the specified process involves an expanded view of agribusiness and satisfying interests in developing business, society, and the state. It was emphasized that an essential component of the management mechanism for the formation of an inclusive model of agribusiness development is implementing an inclusive investment project by a business entity, that is, a project aimed at satisfying the interests of business, society, and the state. It is proven that the goal of management is the inclusive development of the business structure through specialization in economy, quality, creative differentiation, and, first, in the product offering. After satisfying the consumer's interests, business, society, and the state are involved in harmonious development. According to the type of inclusive investment project, the entrepreneurial structure of agribusiness chooses the type of inclusive development model in the market of products and services. The work considers an inclusive model of enterprise development that satisfies the interests of business in long-term profitability, society in clean air, and the state in environmentally friendly energy sources. The mechanism implements the conditions of a synergistic effect from the influence of the factors of increasing demand and stimulating it with the offer to implement the processes of self-regulation, self-management, and self-organization. Keywords: management mechanism, inclusive model, microeconomics, planning, agribusiness, increasing demand.

INCLUSIVE CULTURE AS A FACTOR OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL SPHERE

The article considers the need to study and develop new concepts of economic development of educational services from the standpoint of their inclusiveness. It has been proven that the solution to this problem lies in increasing the level of inclusive culture of all strata of the population. A model of inclusive development can become a concept that will meet the provision of an inclusive culture and open up new solutions to economic and social problems in the educational sphere. It was determined that one of the priority tasks in the implementation of an inclusive approach in the Ukrainian education system is the formation of an inclusive culture in all participants of the education process. inclusive culture is promoted as a level of social development that is expressed in a tolerant, humane, tolerant, safe attitude of people to each other, where ideas of cooperation are shared, the development of all participants in the educational process is stimulated, where the value of everyone is the basis of general achievements, and acceptable to all are formed inclusive values.

ПАРАДИГМА ІНКЛЮЗИВНОГО ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНОГО РОЗВИТКУ УКРАЇНИ В КОНТЕКСТІ РЕФОРМИ ДЕЦЕНТРАЛІЗАЦІЇ

The article reveals the prerequisites and essential characteristics of the model of inclusive development of socio-spatial formations. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the conceptual foundations of the formation of a scientific-applied paradigm of inclusive territorial development, the objects of which are UTC and districts that were formed in the process of implementing the decentralization reform. For its implementation, a number of tasks related to the disclosure of the essence and features of the formation of a scientific and practical paradigm of inclusive territorial development were formulated; determination of key demographic characteristics of UTC and districts in the cross-section of oblasts and regions of Ukraine; analysis of available criteria for evaluating the inclusive development of these socio-spatial formations. In particular, it is about the expediency of going beyond such normative criteria for assessing the economic capacity of territorial communities as the area of the territory of the community; population size; the number of students in general secondary education institutions; index of fiscal capacity of the budget; share of local taxes and fees in local budget revenues. This is confirmed by international practice, in particular, the decisions of the 48th World Economic Forum, which presented a new aggregate index of inclusive development, which overcomes the limits of purely economic indicators. The results of the study also indicate the expediency of taking into account the system of economic and socio-demographic indicators in the framework of the definition of the inclusive capacity of UTC and districts, proposed by domestic scientists. The scientific and practical novelty of the conducted research consists in the creative application of world paradigmatic theoretical and methodological provisions to the urgent tasks of conceptualizing the scientific-applied paradigm of inclusive development of UTC and districts as continuous socio-spatial formations. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn, in particular, regarding the positioning of the paradigm of inclusive territorial development as a worldview-institutional-activity model for improving the territorial organization of society. The social purpose of this model is to overcome territorial injustice, eliminate spatial disparities and significant socio-economic differences between the countryside and the city, and improve the well-being of the population. It was noted that further research should be focused on the development of a system of criteria that characterize the inclusive capacity of the UTC and districts of Ukraine, taking into account their specificity and regional affiliation.

INCLUSIVENESS OF PAYMENT FOR WORK AT THE CONSTRUCTION ENTERPRISE

The world has long had certain ideas about the level of economic development. World trends represent economic development in the form of a growing curve of certain economic indicators. After all, they make it possible to analyze positive developments and show the corresponding changes in real numbers. However, such an approach shows us only the general picture, which is distorted by the lack of in-depth analysis of the growing globalization processes and integration ties in the modern world. Globalization creates many new challenges and contradictions for the modern economy, which cannot be overcome only by positive changes in economic indicators. The problems caused by globalization processes include the increase of gaps between different layers of the population, the reduction and depletion of resource capacities, the exacerbation of social misunderstandings and conflicts, and the emergence of the impossibility of satisfying the needs of each person in full. All this has its effect on the reduction of economic activity in the future. 
 The importance of these problems is increasing due to their all-encompassing nature for the population. Therefore, scientists today need to create an updated concept of economic development, which will make it possible to make an in-depth assessment of external and internal factors of development and, based on this, to build a policy aimed at the entire population. First of all, it means giving equal access to everyone to provide themselves with social and economic benefits through the opportunity to receive a fair and decent wage. An updated concept that will be aimed at equality and will correspond to an improved model of labor remuneration can become a model of inclusive development. 
 A key element of the model of inclusive development is a person who can satisfy his needs by realizing himself in society and satisfying the needs of others by applying his realized potential. And the concept of an inclusive economy is aimed at creating conditions necessary for people, which will allow everyone to develop and realize themselves in the conditions of globalization changes. 
 The problem of inclusivity in the payment of labor is currently quite widespread in construction enterprises. After all, this field will require the maximum involvement of the workforce in the war and post-war periods, and the fact that a large number of employers and workers do not understand the terms of payment and the legal framework, in general, can become an obstacle to effective work. In this connection, there are certain difficulties regarding the quality functioning of the economy, which lead to the absence of ways to improve wages and the impossibility of studying and considering further prospects. To analyze in detail the problems of remuneration in the construction enterprise, it is necessary to note the positive and negative aspects of the inclusiveness of remuneration.

Interrogating the Indian Development trajectories: Lessons for Nigeria

From a backward agriculture dominated economy, India jumped straight within a short-while (after four decades of diverse experiment with the socialist model) into an economic structure lead by service and high-end manufacturing sector. Its development model is principally driven by the rapid expansion of the high-end knowledge- intensive sector. This is otherwise known as the knowledge economy. We attempt to unveil the path to the knowledge economy. To do the explanation, we adopt neo-liberalism as our theoretical guide. Our method is historical, descriptive, and analytical .Data are basically collected from secondary sources. A careful analysis of the Indian model of development show: paradox of a flailing state; a neglect of the low-end labour- intensive sector such as manufacturing and agriculture, a growing inequality despite the quantum leap in GDP, This call for a more inclusive development model that will be a sustainable model for a pluralistic society such as India.

Mental health services in Hong Kong: development of community-based inclusive development practice faced with the cultural barriers

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the development of mental health service policy in Hong Kong. After the return of Hong Kong’s sovereignty to China, mental health services in Hong Kong transformed from an institution-based care model supplemented by community care to a staging model covering primary prevention, early identification, treatment and integration. However, the staging model is subject to cultural barriers, including collectivist values and medical dominance. Therefore, the development of a community-based inclusive development model that follows a rights-based strategy and addresses the regression of the staging model (due to cultural barriers) should be considered. Design/methodology/approach It is a comprehensive literature review which covered the journal articles, policy review papers and service reports. The foundation of this review was laid upon the development of traditional Chinese culture and values. As brought by the influence of the Western world, the mental health service policy was cling towards a medically oriented system. Following the worldwide change in the definition of disability, the ideology of the mental health service system has been developing into a community-based and person-centred model which emphasised on equal participation and human rights. This review serves to evaluate and discuss how a community-based inclusive development can be further developed in Hong Kong. Findings A formal support system for providing personal assistance to people with mental health issues through supported decision-making and certified peer specialists forms the principal foundation of a community-based inclusive development model. A review and reconsideration of laws governing guardianship, compulsory treatment and detention should be conducted to enable the local implementation of supported decision-making. Originality/value The paper addressed and integrated the theoretical, historical and practical issues in developing a community-based inclusive mental health service policy in Hong Kong.

Adaptation to the impacts of climate change from the perspective of the city of Recife master plan

Defining measures for climate change adaptation is a complex task given the existence of social, environmental, and economic demands, particularly in cities with poor urban infrastructure. As a result of analyzing the revision process of the Recife Master Plan, it is possible to observe that a reduction in the social and environmental vulnerabilities has implied carrying out more consistent studies, which may entail the implementation of structuring measures, and that environmental sustainability requires multilevel governance, with policy reforms on a global, regional and local scale, difficult to implement in the short term, although necessary for refocusing climate policies and for overcoming the inability to provide resources for a tailored adaptation infrastructure. The path to building a resilient city that provides a safer environment for the future depends on an inclusive development model, which enables the population to improve urban conditions and minimize the impacts brought about by extreme weather events.

نموذج التنمية المستدامة في الصين ومدى استفادة العرب منها / China’s Sustainable Development Model and How Arabs Benefit From it

Abstract Based on the development of positive relations between China and the Arab countries in the context of a new globalization on the path to a multipolar world, this study addresses the following methodological issues: China’s development achievements in the reform and the opening-up movement, China’s success in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic, and the analysis of the notion of “Sustainable Development” and the Chinese characteristics of the concept of socialism. Accurate scientific conclusions confirmed that sustainable development with Chinese characteristics constitutes a distinct model of rational and balanced development that achieved the well-being of the Chinese population. The Belt and Road Initiative has been widely welcomed in all Arab countries. Arab institutions, both official and private, have begun to study the Chinese development model to build a new style of development based on social stability, economic prosperity and mutual benefit. China is a leading model for promoting the common interest of people. China contributes positively to the well-being of its people and the rest of the world through cooperation. It is moving forward with high-quality development plans that provide new opportunities to revive the global economy, which is suffering from the drawbacks of the Covid-19 pandemic. Having presented China as a leading human model of inclusive development to realize the Chinese Dream, the enlightened Arab elites have shown increasing interest in this high-quality experiment that has succeeded in eradicating poverty, combating Covid-19, helping the recovery of the global economy, and promoting opportunities for advancement, innovation and creativity on a global level. Since China’s development was built on moral and humanitarian rules, it is warmly welcomed in the Arab countries because it affirms that humans are the greatest capital and the goal of sustainable development. It offers rich and useful lessons for everyone around the world.

ТЕОРІЯ СПІРАЛЬНОЇ ДИНАМІКИ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ІНКЛЮЗИВНОГО РОЗВИТКУ УКРАЇНИ

The paper investigates the value paradigm of Ukrainians and their peculiarities by means of the theory of spiral dynamics, analyzes the index of perception of corruption in different countries of the world and identifies the relationship between high level of corruption and low level of income, and designs inclusive growth and development of Ukraine. Object of study – the processes of inclusive growth and development through the prism of the valueoriented approach of the theory of spiral dynamics. Purpose of the study – to substantiate the prerequisites for the formation of a model of inclusive development based on the theory of spiral dynamics, which will allow to involve all members of society in socio-economic processes, taking into account their values, needs and opportunities. Method of the study – methods of economic, systemic, comparative analysis. Results and innovation of the study – in the paper investigates the influence of the system of values of society on its socio-economic development with the help of the theory of spiral dynamics, peculiarities of its evolution and influence on the socio-economic development of the country. The mental features of the Ukrainians, their evolution and prerequisites for mental modernization through the change of the paradigm of thinking through the construction of an inclusive state are analyzed. The article proposes a design for inclusive growth and development based on four main pillars: rules, institutions, a well-informed society, and political leadership. Modern IT technologies will become a tool for implementing this model. The modern paternalistic ideology that underlies the state centralization of financial resources with further redistribution should be changed to the ideology of promoting entrepreneurship and private initiatives, which will undoubtedly improve the well-being of all citizens and make our country competitive in the global arena. Forecast assumptions about the object of study – a value-oriented approach can give a powerful impulse to build an inclusive state, which by its perfection did not yet exist in the world, because it allows to involve all citizens in socio-economic processes due to modern technologies.

CONCEPT MODEL FEATURES OF THE INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF AGRO-FOOD HOLDINGS

Introduction. Agro-food holdings have a leading role in ensuring the country's food security, increasing exports, and introducing innovative technologies. The urgent scientific task is to develop tools to improve existing strategies for the development of agro-food holdings in order to ensure the inclusive development of agro-food in the interests of the country and its citizens. The purpose of the article is to develop the concept model features of inclusive development of agro-food holdings in modern conditions. Results. The stages and reasons for the formation of Ukrainian agricultural holdings are shown, their role in the development of the agricultural sector is determined: they account for more than 40% of exports of certain crops that show the highest yields among other competitors. The current state of agro-food holdings is analyzed and the existence of objective reasons for the transformation of their development model is indicated: exhaustion of extensive growth reserves, staff shortages, the need to move to quality growth, the need to ensure equal opportunities for all agricultural market participants. The solution of these problems is possible under the condition of introduction of inclusive model of development. The conceptual model of the system of inclusive development of the agro-food sphere on four components is offered: financial inclusiveness, technological inclusiveness, resource inclusiveness and inclusiveness of human capital. The reasons for the emergence of financial and technological barriers in the agro-food sector are indicated. The importance of continuing the policy of decentralization as an element of increasing the inclusiveness of the agro-food sector was emphasized. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the essence of the concept of "agro-food holding" and discussion aspects of their further development are determined. The structural model of the system of inclusive development with the definition of the strategic purpose on each component, and key directions of introduction of the system of inclusive development on them is offered. Keywords: agro-food holding, inclusive development, system of inclusive development, agro-food sphere, structural model of inclusive development of agro-food sphere.

State regulation of inclusive development in agricultural sphere

Introduction. The role of state regulation of the agro-food sector should be to create a legal framework and ensure equal fair access to state resources, ensure budget inclusion and reasonable use of mechanisms to encourage agricultural enti-ties to pursue social inclusion through co-financing and participation. The purpose of the article is to study and generalize the theoretical and methodological foundations of state regula-tion of inclusive development in the agro-food sector. Results. The strategic goal of creating a system of inclusive development of the agro-food sector, which is to achieve comprehensive accelerated development of agriculture on the involvement basis, barrier-free and effective cooperation of all agro-food entities to improve the welfare of citizens and local communities, human capital, poverty and inequalities. The concepts of "paternalistic system of inclusive development" and "market model of inclusive development" are proposed, as well as the differences between them, which consist of different role models for the state and citizens in creating public goods and their distribution. The necessity of the market model introduction for inclusive development taking into account the institutional weakness of the state, the essential principles of the inclusive paradigm and the peculiarities of the agro-food sphere of Ukraine is substantiated. It is shown that in the agro-industrial complex the implementation of inclusive and sus-tainable development approaches requires improvement of interaction between the subjects in this sphere on the basis of ‘win-win’ principles and increase of mutual trust, the absence of which causes a number of structural imbalances. Conclusions. It is theoretically substantiated that strengthening the distribution function of the state through the in-troduction of new taxes will reduce the financial stability and investment attractiveness of agro-food holdings, which are important taxpayers and drivers of socially responsible strategies that do not meet the strategic interests of the state and agro-food complex. The main functions of the state in regulating the inclusive development of the agro-food sector are de-termined. Prospects for further research are to develop applied tools for inclusive development and outstanding role models for various agro-food actors in the implementation of this system. Key words: social inclusion, inclusive development, system of inclusive development of agro-food sphere, state regu-lation of inclusive development.

Participatory solid waste governance and the role of social and solidarity economy: experiences from São Paulo, Brazil

Waste governance is emerging as transdisciplinary and inter-sectoral approach to waste management and policy, overcoming primarily prescriptive engineering perspectives of waste. The process of governing waste involves the articulation of different structures, institutions, policies, practices and actors. Paying attention to issues of power, scale, and equity are important in the search for more democratic practices. Innovative forms of governance are emerging as decentralized, participatory and inclusive, focused on waste reduction and resource recovery. Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) is an innovative alternative in generating work and income and a response in favor of social and labor inclusion. It can also be considered as a new, more humane and inclusive development model. With this article we aim to provide practical knowledge on the contributions of grassroots organizations and networks in waste management, supporting the discussion of waste governance in the context of the SSE. We present different experiences of waste picker organizations in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil to showcase their assets and to discuss prevailing challenges. Employing the SSE as a new development model allows us to address everyday issues of waste generation, management and governance in Brazilian cities and in other parts of the world; particularly from the perspective of organized waste pickers in associations, cooperatives and networks. This is a development paradigm which goes beyond just economic considerations, as highlighted with examples from waste management.

Original

Tribals, as indigenous communities, have always been subject to neglect and marginalisation. The non-inclusive economic mobility is the enduring legacy of ethnic segregations and discriminations. In the development framework, their inclusion into the fast-urbanizing urban spaces is considerably an unexplored question. In this backdrop, the paper looks at tribals’ economic mobility in the urban spaces of Jharkhand through occupational classes. The paper is based on the 21-fold industrial classification provided in B-Series tables by Census of India, 2011. It uses a simple statistical method to analyse the occupational structure, sectoral participation and economic mobility. The paper portrays an assorted picture, inapt to the claim of an inclusive development model. The tribals have hardly been successful in catching the neo-liberal market-led economic opportunities, as the most developed urban centres are barely in tandem with the higher workforce participation in secondary and tertiary sectors; especially in the formal sectors. The other contrasting scenario is the least developed urban spaces have a higher level of tribal workforce participation in the tertiary sector than their most developed counterparts.

Cooperativismo agroindustrial: diagnóstico atual da região centro-oeste brasileira

O cooperativismo é apontado por diversos setores da sociedade, juntamente com algumas correntes acadêmicas, como um modelo de desenvolvimento mais justo e inclusivo. Neste contexto, o Centro-Oeste brasileiro figura em posição de destaque dentro do agronegócio. De acordo com dados da Organização das Cooperativas do Brasil (OCB), aproximadamente 50% do agronegócio do Centro-Oeste passam, de alguma forma, por uma cooperativa. Assim, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é contextualizar o cooperativismo agroindustrial no Centro-Oeste brasileiro. Como objetivos secundários citam-se: a) traçar um breve histórico do cooperativismo; b) e contextualizar o ramo agroindustrial dentro do cooperativismo. Os métodos empregados para tanto foram levantamento bibliográfico e análise documental. O cenário que se desenha mostra tendências à concentração no setor agroindustrial, onde as grandes e tradicionais cooperativas aparentam estar ficando cada vez maiores e mais sólidas, especialmente, no que tange à produção de grãos.

Effect of Big Data in Promoting Inclusive Development

This essay intends to promote inclusive development by utilizing big data as an alternative to economic growth, under the contexts of the greater social disparities coming along with economic growth. In the first part, the term of inclusive growth or development is introduced as an alternative model to resolve all the existing problems that are plaguing a wide range of societies in both developing and developed countries, particularly for those new emerging economies. In the second part, the model of inclusive development is placed under the microscopic lens of the coming of big data era. A wide range of empirical evidence collected by communication scholars lend support to the argument that the traditional value of economic growth shall be abandoned in favor of inclusive development for more social justice and equality of the societies, where the big data can serve as an indispensable catalyst in all aspects of people’s life.
