Effects of river flooding on human population: A case study of Kyarumba Sub-county along River Nyamuhasana in Kasese District

A natural occurrence that can have catastrophic effects on human populations is river flooding. This study looked at how the flooding of the Nyamuhasana River affected the livelihoods of those who lived close to the river in Kyarumba sub-county. The primary aim of the research was to evaluate the effects of alterations in land use in the catchment areas of the Nyamuhasana River in Kyarumba sub-county, Kasese district. The study also aimed to determine the degree of awareness among the community regarding their impact on the rising frequency of flooding in the Nyamuhasana River. The study also assessed the effectiveness of flood mitigation strategies being implemented by Kyarumba sub-county residents near the Nyamuhasana River. The study used both primary and secondary data and the methods used for data collection were; interviewing, observation, use of questionnaire, focus group discussion, and use of geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing. The study’s conclusions showed that changes in land use within the river Nyamuhasana catchment zones have greatly raised the frequency and severity of flooding incidents. The community’s lack of awareness of its impact on the rising frequency of Nyamuhasana flooding was another finding of the study. The study also discovered that the flood mitigation strategies used by the people living in the Kyarumba sub-county, which is next to the Nyamuhasana River, are mainly ineffective. The study suggests that to lessen the negative effects of river Nyamuhasana flooding on the way of life for people living in the Kyarumba sub-county, a thorough flood control plan should be created and put into action. Reducing land use changes within river catchment zones, increasing community understanding of flooding causes, and putting in place practical flood mitigation strategies should all be part of the strategy.

THE IMAGE OF THE MOTHERLAND: DIALECTICS

The study addresses the dialectical nature of the image of the Motherland and reveals positions demon-strating this approach. The image of the Motherland is determined by the contradictions between the form and content of the elements fi lling this image, however, the traditional component of the value layer of the living en-vironment provides it with a constant character of functioning in society. Due to this, the Motherland represents a stable existential value of a person. The image of the Motherland is considered in an ontological aspect, fi rstly, in the system "man-world"; secondly, in the system of relations "nature-culture"; thirdly, in the system of relations "personality-society". In the praxiological aspect, the image of the Motherland is presented as a way of life for peo-ple. In the axiological aspect, the image of the Motherland is analyzed in two directions: the individual choice of meanings, goals and values of life; the identifi cation of situational meanings and values that contribute to a person’s choice of himself in situations where it is impossible to avoid a choice. The study of the image of the Motherland in these aspects allows us to show the specifics of the processes of creation and preservation of this phenomenon in universal practice. Thus, the work contains the foundations for predicting the likely factors of the formation of the image of the Motherland, which, in turn, allows us to determine the trends of its functioning in the modern infor-mation and communication space. The research can be used to study the problems of transitional states of society, as well as in teaching activities in the discipline "Fundamentals of Russian statehood".

تناسق الآيات ووحدة الموضوعية في القرآن: دراسة تفسيرية تحليلية لسُوَر غافر الصَّافات والنّازعات

This study deals with one of the most important topics of interpretation of the Holy Qur'an, which is the unity of objectivity in the Holy Qur'an. Tafsīr al-Mawḍuꜥī is a type of interpretation that was not present in the works of earlier scholars and has not properly developed through the work and efforts of contemporary researchers because it still requires rooting and a methodology capable of achieving the main goals of the Qur'an as the book of guidance and a way of life for people in every era. The study aims to show that the Tafsīr al-Mawḍuꜥī is the most appropriate to follow in our contemporary era in dealing with the unity of the topics of the Qur'an or some Surahs, as it reveals one of the aspects of the miracle of the Qur’an about man, the universe, and life: the Qur'an is a comprehensive and immortal cognitive miracle. The study aims to highlight the beauty of the Holy Qur'an in its consistency and coherence of its verses with each other, as if it were one surah revealed at the same time and not over extended periods. The researchers used in this study two approaches: the inductive approach and the analytical method, where we collected in the inductive approach verses from three surahs, which are al-Ghafir, al-Saffat and al-Naziat, and then analysed them to show and prove their consistency with each other and their interdependence in a very wonderful thematic unity.

An Analysis of Mass Communication in the Pandemic (In the Example of Coca Cola Ads)

The pandemic called Covid 19, which emerged in the last period of 2019, turned into a chaos that affected the whole world physically and psychologically. The pandemic period caused people's habits and communication styles to change. It has become a way of life for people to be unable to leave their homes due to restrictions. This situation has also caused a change in the way global brands reach consumers and the content of their advertising messages. In this study, two commercials prepared by the Coca Cola brand during the period when the effects of the pandemic were felt intensely and the effects of the pandemic were relatively alleviated were analyzed by semiotic analysis method.
 In this research, it is aimed to reveal how and for what purpose an international brand gives messages on a global scale in its advertisements, which intercultural codes it brings to the fore, to reveal the messages behind the visible messages and which elements in mass communication and for what purpose they are effective on people. The findings of the analysis carried out in the context of signifier-signified, denotation-connotation in the research overlap with the theoretical foundations of semiotics.

State management of financial support in the field of nature management and environmental protection as a strategic direction for the development of territories

This study examines topical issues of the environmental tension in the regions, ensuring environmental safety, as well as increasing the anthropogenic impact on the environment as a result of the growth of industrial development and the increase in the amount of resources consumed in the socio-economic development of territories in the context of state regulation of nature management. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current legislation and assess the volume of financial support for activities aimed at ensuring environmental safety and environmental protection. As part of the study, the evolution of legislation in the field of environmental development and security of territories was studied, followed by an assessment of the dynamics of spending on the implementation of the national project «Ecology». The importance of developing a management mechanism in the field of nature management and environmental protection to improve the ecological situation of the territories is shown. On the basis of a complex indicator, the dynamics of the ranking of regions was assessed. The share of expenses of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the Ural Federal District for environmental protection has been calculated and analyzed. It has been established that the costs of environmental protection and conservation activities are an important part of the costs of the regional budgets of the Russian Federation, although they are not a significant part of it. The rank of the regions that are part of the Ural Federal District is analyzed in terms of budget expenditures on environmental protection per capita among all subjects of the Russian Federation. Along with state regulation of the environmental sphere and building relationships with enterprises that use natural resources, in order to reduce environmental damage, the need to form an ecological culture of the population as a new way of life for people is reflected.

Pengaruh Pembelian Online Di Shopee Terhadap Perubahan Gaya Hidup Konsumtif Perempuan

Online shopping is a phenomenon that has become a way of life for people. The convenience and comfort felt by consumers and the experience created by online shopping has made this phenomenon increasingly developed in society. This has led to an increase in consumptive behavior that does not discriminate between groups, so that students who don't have a job can also be ensnared, where on the other hand the developments and innovations that are unceasingly increasingly support this phenomenon, such as the increasingly widespread marketplace for online shopping, one of the only Shopee that creates convenience, enjoyment and experience for its consumers. This study aims to see how the convenience, enjoyment, and experience created by shopping online through Shopee affect the consumptive behavior of students, especially female students. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach and uses multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the ease and convenience of online shopping partially affect consumptive behavior, while the online shopping experience has no effect on consumptive behavior. Meanwhile, simultaneously, convenience, comfort, and online shopping experience affect consumptive behavior with a contribution of 14.4%.

Зеленая экономика — переход от научного знания к массовому осознанию

The subject of the study is the green economy as a socio-economic phenomenon. The objectives of the work are to substantiate the phenomenon of "green economy" as a new way of life for people, implying their respectful and careful attitude to nature, and to develop proposals for the transition from understanding the green economy from a single knowledge inherent in individual individuals to a mass awareness of this phenomenon. It is demonstrated that the scientific literature to date has been dominated by opinions according to which the green economy is a tool for solving private (sectoral) issues, as evidenced by the synonymy of its names: "low-carbon", "circular, "blue (blue)" economy, etc. The hypothesis of a worldview approach to the green economy is proposed, according to which the understanding of the green economy should be reduced to "greening" (permeating) all economic and production-technological actions of people with a respectful and careful attitude to nature. An integral part of this process should be the "greening" of moral and ethical relations between people in the process of their interaction with nature. Based on the data on the opinion of the population about living conditions in settlements, it is shown that there is a need to form the concept of a new socio-architectural settlement civilization. A proposal is made on the need to move from a state of social experiment in the implementation of the green economy to its full transformation into a new way of life for people. It is concluded that the movement towards a green economy as a new way of life will cover several generations of people. However, you should start now.

Discourse of Socio-political Crisis and the Pandemic: A Linguistic Analysis of Jordanian Arabic Cartoons on COVID-19

COVID-19 has affected the lifeways of people all over the world. Hence, this study is mainly concerned with the discourse related to COVID-19. It investigated the way cartoonists represented this pandemic in Arabic and whether such a representation reflects the contemporary attitudes and values of the society. For this purpose, 150 cartoons were selected from Alghad, an online Jordanian daily in Arabic, published between the years 2020-2021. Data was analysed through a multimodal analysis. The study revealed ten themes related to COVID-19 and used by Arabic cartoonists including the quarantine and the lockdown, economic devastation, political discourse, social relationship discourse, wishes and occasions, greetings for medical staff, travel and tourism, work and education, health awareness, and dissatisfied citizens. Our study was in agreement with the results of Joubert and Wasserman (2020). They stated that editorial cartoons are important not only because they disseminate information during a public health pandemic but also because they are considered a great source of data to measure public perceptions and sentiments.

ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ИГР В ШКОЛЕ

In a modern school, at different levels of education, popular systems various elements of physical education can and should be used, which simultaneously allow solving health-improving, developing, and educational tasks. The expediency of including folk outdoor games in the school curriculum is explained by the need to intensify physical activity in the classroom, increase the interest in learning through the use of national games. Different nations’ games have their own distinctive features. The games reflect the way of people life, work, national foundations, ideas about the ideal, social life, and the people history. Folk games allow you to preserve the national flavor of customs, the originality of self-expression of a particular people and convey to the next generations. Folk games have many functions: socio-cultural, educational, entertaining, diagnostic, corrective, communicative, etc. At the same time, the folk game has a powerful resource for educating students to respect the cultural heritage and traditions of the multinational people of the Russian Federation. The article describes some content and methodological aspects of the national games use in school.

ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКИЙ ФОН ИННОВАЦИЙ РАННЕГО НЕОЛИТА СЕВЕРА ЗАПАДНОЙ СИБИРИ

In the mid-7th — early 6th millennium BC at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition, a number of innovations appeared in the lifeways of people in the West Siberian taiga, including the first appearance of pottery (the defining criterion for the onset of the Neolithic), the intensification of the subsistence economy with an increasing role of aquatic resources, and the transition to a less mobile lifestyle. These innovations were reflected in the construction of long-term open and few fortified settlements, including circular layouts and the construction of ritual mounds (kholmy). These improvements attest to significant changes in subsistence economy as well as worldviews of the hunter-fisher-gatherers of the taiga zone of West Siberia. The emergence of these innovations chronologically coincides with the most prominent global climatic cooling event of the Holocene, which took place around 6.2 thousand years cal BC (the so-called 8.2 ka BP event) and had a substantial impact on the ancient societies of Europe and Southwest Asia. To reconstruct the paleoclimate of northern West Siberia, the most informative source to date are peatbogs, which contain, as a rule, complete sedimentation sequences of all Holocene periods, allowing a greater degree of reliability in using scientific methods in paleogeographical reconstructions. This article reviews current evidence on features and age of the peat formation process and additional information on the Early Holocene paleoclimatic developments in northern West Siberia. The preliminary data indicate that favourable climatic conditions led to balanced and probably abundant environmental resources in the early Atlantic period. At the same time, the sparsely populated territory might have seen the arrival of new population groups into the region, which might have introduced or triggered a number of socio-economic innovations such as the construction of fortified settlements with complex layouts and the tradition of clay pottery manufacture.

A learning network approach to resolve conservation challenges in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is a protected area and UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the Serengeti‐Ngorongoro Biosphere reserve in northern Tanzania. It is famous for its large volcanic caldera, unique cultural heritage, early hominid fossils and significant wildlife populations. NCA has been managed as a multiple land‐use area since 1959, a designation intended to foster a harmonious coexistence between indigenous residents and wildlife (Goldstein, 2004).

A palaeopathological analysis of skeletal remains from Bronze Age Mongolia

Little is known about the lifeways of the people who inhabited the Mongolian steppe during the Bronze Age (c. 4450-2650 BP). Palaeopathological analysis allows us to draw inferences about the lifeways of past people from the indicators of health and lifestyle recorded in human remains. This paper presents results of analysis of the remains of 25 individuals excavated in northern Mongolia. Overall, the remains demonstrated very little pathology. In particular the lack of evidence for both infectious and non-communicable diseases, along with the patterns of dental pathology indicate a group of people who experienced few health insults and little stress. The types of trauma, Schmorl’s nodes and patterns of degenerative joint disease present in the sample are suggestive of interpersonal violence and horse riding. The findings are consistent with a traditional pastoral lifeway where people live in small groups, rely on a protein-rich diet and use animals for transportation.

Konsumerisme dan Hegemoni Barat terhadap Masyarakat Negara Berkembang: Perspektif Antonio Gramsci

This article elaborates dominant discourse in contemporary international relations study which is especially focus on how consumerism as ideology and the machine of capitalism operate until become Western cultural hegemony to the developing countries. By using Antonio Gramsci’s perspective, this research is on qualitative approach with literature study method. The argument built in this research is that society and culture will always change with the influences that exist in the world today. These changes can be happen in a fast or slow time. On a large or small scale in everyday life, so that people are unconsciously in a circle of domination and hegemony. However, this research is not a comparative study between different time periods, but a study of the identification of influences that play an important role in transforming and shaping cultural aspects and the people way of life in the majority of developing countries. Therefore this research aims to describe and dismantle consumerism as a Western cultural hegemony in influencing the culture of society and reflect social reality in the post-industrial era and neoliberal globalization.

Modeling diet in times of change: The case of Quitor, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

The transition from the Middle to Late Intermediate Period in the south-central Andes saw major changes in the lifeways of peoples across northern Chile; as far-flung networks of exchange and interaction broke down, social stressors and social conflict increased. In the present work, we present isotopic data from a sample (n=58) of humans drawn from several cemeteries of the Quitor ayllu, in the San Pedro de Atacama oases, and we use Bayesian mixture modeling to explore the effects of these broad social, economic, and political changes on synchronic and diachronic patterns of dietary variation. A series of hypotheses dealing with both temporal changes in diet and differences between the typical diets of females and males are tested. Ultimately, our research suggests that the disarticulation of the large interregional exchange networks of the south-central Andes at the end of the Middle Period significantly impacted the diets and lifestyle of local populations. This work also shows how the use of linear mixture modeling facilitates a more nuanced interpretation of dietary composition than visual inspection or regression analysis of isotopic data.

Authority in Islam: The Institutionalization of Islam and the Elusive Transfer of Authority from Society to State

Abstract Islam is not merely a religion; it expands beyond that to include almost everything. Politics and Islam have always had a fickle relationship, yet a somewhat more stable one in the past. This was due mainly to the fact that Islam existed as an underlying foundation to societal life and basic political interactions;1 today, things have developed in such a manner that Islam has been institutionalized into either state-inclusive bodies that exist on a political bargain or de-facto opposition basis, or criminal groups that are deemed to be enemies of the state. Islam as an all-inclusive way of life for people is now merely a reflection of whatever these new Islamic institutions dictate. The way in which these Islamic institutions came into existence and their political relationship with the state presents us with a very interesting yet “locked” paradigm of existence, whereby a huge gap forms between the state and society. In order to understand how this paradigm came into being, this paper will go through the process of explaining and analyzing the different groups, mechanisms and structures that changed the application of Islam in the Middle East. Using the work of Anwar Majid's Freedom and Orthodoxy as a theoretical framework, the paper will first examine the rise of the Ulama class and their role in the process of Islamic state institutionalization. The paper will then move on to show how Islamic legal authority was transferred from society and given to the state, with the Ulama class being the new keepers of this authority, and how the colonial encroachment of Western laws was the vehicle of this transfer. That is not to say that pre-colonial Islamic societies were model ones and that colonialism is the direct cause of this transfer. Finally, the paper will examine the process
