Ousmane Sembene's Camp De Thiaroye in the Context of Anticolonial African Literature

Almost all of the countries on the African continent have been under the domination of European powers for a certain period of time throughout their history. As a result, many books have been written on the continent, adopting an anti-colonial rhetoric. Numerous authors have analyzed European colonialism and offered suggestions for getting rid of it. Senegalese Ousmane Sembene is an anti-colonial writer and director. In a way, his films can be considered as a version of anticolonial literature transferred to the movie screen. Sembene is an extremely important name for African cinema. He is the first person directed a feature film (La Noire de…, 1966) in Sub-Saharan Africa. His political stance has been a major factor in shaping the identity of the cinema not only of his country Senegal, but of the entire African continent. He has influenced a significant number of directors from the African continent and is very important in the context of political. His pan-Africanist personality and view of cinema as a tool of social transformation allow his films to be evaluated in the context of anticolonialist literature. Anticolonial themes are seen in Sembene's films both in terms of content and mode of production. The movie Camp de Thiaroye (1988) also has an important place in this context. In this film, he exhibited the ways in which colonialism produced symbolic and physical violence. He also revealed the stages of Africans gaining consciousness on their way to independence. In this study, Sembene's Camp de Thiaroye is analyzed in order to reveal the relationship between anticolonialist African literature and African cinema. As a result of the study, it was seen that Sembene produced a strong anticolonial discourse through his cinema and brought up many issues mentioned by the anticolonial literature.

Geographies of Public Deliberation: A Closer Look at the Ingredient of Space

Since its inception, public deliberation has been largely seen as an effective tool of inclusion and transformation within democratic politics. However, this article argues that public deliberation is not necessarily inclusive and transformative. These aspirations can only be achieved if certain conditions are met. The qualitative analyses drawn upon in this public deliberation study included virtual and face-to-face conversations between participants (N = 70) about opinions on eating together. The article examines factors that can impede food system transformation initiatives. This can be particularly problematic in low- and middle-income countries because corruptibility can reduce the stringency of food system transformation policy. This study was conducted with participants from the Dutch cities of Almere and Amsterdam. The article argues that public deliberation can be truly transformative when (1) it is institutionally sanctioned, and (2) participants in the deliberation are given more time to make their arguments and reconsider these arguments in light of what others have to say.

In the process of learning to read the Qur'an, teaching methods have a very crucial role, and there are several approaches that have been implemented to facilitate learning. The method is chosen as a means and tool of teaching transformation to achieve the desired goal. The goal of qiroah training is to facilitate students in improving their skills in reading the Qur'an, especially among TPQ AL-HALIM students. In addition, qiroah training aims to instil students' appreciation of Islamic cultural arts, develop students' talents and interests in the field of reciting the Qur'an, and promote a sense of independence.

Role of Translation and Impact on Indian Literature


 
 
 
 Translation is an age-old activity which occupied a part of all regional literatures since the past. The retracement can be traced to the times of the great epics as The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. India has been a multilinguistic, polyglot nation with translations from Sanskrit, Prakrit and Pali into many regional languages. Translation brings to the readers not just the meaning and context but also the cultural, social, philosophical, and psychological truths inherent in those texts and their transfer to the new language into which the text is translated. The present article attempts to reveal a few facets of Indian translations in literature and its impact on readers. This paper also focuses on the nature of translation by Indians done using translation as a tool of transformation of literature contributing to the language pantheon.
 
 
 

Awareness on social welfare programmes among women workers of unorganized sector with special reference to khurja pottery works

This study is destined to analyse and discuss the awareness about social protection programmes of the government among the women working in unorganized sector of a town Khurja, district Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. Development all alone cannot be a source of peace and prosperity until it is followed by social justice and equity. Both state and central governments have implemented a number of social welfare programmes for the upliftment of the marginalized people. Generally, no information is available on effectiveness of these programmes among the underprivileged class of people. Efficiency and effectiveness of key welfare programmes in India need to be substantially improved. Particular attention needs to be paid to female participation and their access to these welfare programmes. Altering population demographics have placed various challenges before us, among which increasing pressure of social welfare of citizens is one. Remarkable disparities regarding social security remain among regions, between rural and urban areas, between men and women. On an average country spend 12.8% of their GDP on social security programmes. Currently only 47% of the global population is effectively covered with social security net. Social protection is a tool of social transformation, which creates wide ranging social and economic benefits to the society.

Terapia ocupacional e socioeducação: uma trajetória institucional de acompanhamento de adolescentes e jovens durante quatro décadas

Abstract The Adolescent Guidance Center of Campinas (COMEC), a civil society organization, has adopted, as pillars of assistance since its foundation in 1980, the guarantee of the fundamental principles of human rights and the promotion of social education as a tool of intervention and transformation. Its history of providing open-setting follow-up for adolescent and young offenders and their families precedes the assumptions and guidelines of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) of the Unified Social Assistance System and the National Socio-Educational Assistance System. COMEC has become a reference in the municipality of Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil in the execution of socio-educational measures of Assisted Liberty (AL) and Provision of Services to the Community (PSC) through the development of solid work in the field of social assistance. This study aims to present the trajectory of occupational therapy at COMEC from 1984 to 2022 through a university teaching-extension partnership conducted by the Occupational Therapy Course of the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas. Since then, occupational therapists have composed the technical teams of AL and PSC as essential reference professionals to develop this work, as well as assumed management activities. Occupational therapy has contributed, in a powerful and diversified way, to offer a follow-up to adolescents, young people, and their families, and has accumulated experiences in the execution of socio-educational measures that can contribute to its repertoires of action.

Ethical-Psychological Theory by Erich Fromm as a Tool of Social Transformation

Social transformation is an up-to-date concept in current philosophical and social circumstances being considered with problematization and the creation and development of social philosophy several centuries ago. A specific contribution to this problem was made within the framework of improving the quality of human knowledge with the development of psychology as a science and methodology, psychoanalysis and neo–Freudianism in particular. This article is devoted to the problem of society’s ethical transformation using the example of Erich Fromm's radical humanistic psychoanalysis – a neo-Freudian concept that requires clarification and explanation despite the abundance of content covering the topic. Qualitative analysis of primary empirical data, processing of secondary empirical data, analysis of various views on the chosen topic were used as research methods. This article examines the basic concepts of Fromm's humanistic psychoanalysis within the framework of the issue under study, as well as an assessment of the conceptual applicability of his theory to the problem of social transformation. In the course of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the theoretical constructions by Erich Fromm are not studied scrupulously enough, contain a unique idiographic point of view and have practical applicability for a wide range of users of the provided information – philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, historians, religious scholars.

Implementing Electronic Health Records in Primary Care Using the Theory of Change: Nigerian Case Study.

BackgroundDigital health has been a tool of transformation for the delivery of health care services globally. An electronic health record (EHR) system can solve the bottleneck of paper documentation in health service delivery if it is successfully implemented, but poor implementation can lead to a waste of resources. The study of EHR system implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is of particular interest to health stakeholders such as policy makers, funders, and care providers because of the efficiencies and evidence base that could result from the appropriate evaluation of such systems.ObjectiveWe aimed to develop a theory of change (ToC) for the implementation of EHRs for maternal and child health care delivery in LMICs. The ToC is an outcomes-based approach that starts with the long-term goals and works backward to the inputs and mediating components required to achieve these goals for complex programs.MethodsWe used the ToC approach for the whole implementation’s life cycle to guide the pilot study and identify the preconditions needed to realize the study’s long-term goal at Festac Primary Health Centre in Lagos, Nigeria. To evaluate the maturity of the implementation, we adapted previously defined success factors to supplement the ToC approach.ResultsThe initial ToC map showed that the long-term goal was an improved service delivery in primary care with the introduction of EHRs. The revised ToC revealed that the long-term change was the improved maternal and child health care delivery at Festac Primary Health Center using EHRs. We proposed a generic ToC map that implementers in LMICs can use to introduce an optimized EHR system, with assumptions about sustainability and other relevant factors. The outcomes from the critical success factors were sustainability: the sustained improvements included trained health care professionals, a change in mindset from using paper systems toward digital health transformation, and using the project’s laptops to collect aggregate data for the District Health Information System 2–based national health information management system; financial: we secured funding to procure IT equipment, including servers, laptops, and networking, but the initial cost of implementation was high, and funds mainly came from the funding partner; and organizational: the health professionals, especially the head of nursing and health information officers, showed significant commitment to adopting the EHR system, but certain physicians and midwives were unwilling to use the EHR system initially until they were persuaded or incentivized by the management.ConclusionsThis study shows that the ToC is a rewarding approach to framing dialogue with stakeholders and serves as a framework for planning, evaluation, learning, and reflection. We hypothesized that any future health IT implementation in primary care could adapt our ToC approach to their contexts with necessary modifications based on inherent characteristics.

DIGITALIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY

The development and advancement of machines and technology has changed the way of production. The changing production system has passed through certain stages and has become artificial intelligence technology, smart production, automation, sensors and digitalization, which is called Industry 4.0 today. Digitalization in the production system has covered every aspect of our daily lives and has affected daily practices and relationships. With digitalization, there have been changes and transformations in many areas such as institutions, factories, professions, education, finance, security, health. This change and transformation has also been reflected in social and individual life. This study is written on how digitalization affects the basic concepts that shape society such as production, division of labor, identity, privacy, socialization, time and space. With the spread of the Internet and social media, identities that define the individual and society have turned into virtual identities. Virtual identities, which are independent of physical time and space, have changed the way socialization is done. The new form of virtual socialization requires the user to be online at all times. The widespread use of social media has spawned new social movements, and these new social movements are using social media as a tool of political transformation. Virtual communities isolate the individual and alienate him from the society and culture in which he lives. The changing individual also affects the social structure and reveals the new society. Increasing internet use and digitalization have also increased surveillance and supervision. The traces we leave in the virtual world are converted into data with artificial intelligence technology and the individual is confronted with advertisements and products according to their interests. The storage of data calls into question the security and privacy of the individual and makes the concept of cyber security important. The changing and transforming concept of security affects the emergence of new crimes and the legal infrastructure to combat these crimes.

Psychological Theories of Developing Pupils' creativity as a Way to Personal Growth of a teacher

The aim of our research is to study different theories of developing pupils’ creativity as a way to personal growth of the teacher, as well as to propose the theory to define creativity as intellectual and spiritual processes. Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization modeling, generalization, the experimental methods of observation and the method of conducting ascertaining research. The participants of our research were 47 pupils of the 8th-B form of school 15 of Rivne (Ukraine). The experiment lasted during 2020-2021 years. The results of the research. We proposed the theory to define creativity as intellectual and spiritual processes. It is showed, that creativity was largely relevant in the intellectual and spiritual activities of a man. Intelligence presents creative products in a new way, as new organized information. At the same time, spiritual activity appears as a process of generating thoughts. Therefore, at all stages of personality development someone should stimulate and organize its intellectual and spiritual activities. It is believed that a narrow professional specialization restrains the incentives of the individual to creativity in the field of technology and the humanities. As a result, both are somewhat leveled. Therefore, contemporary scholars often argue that universal education is needed, but one that does not preclude the formation of special skills of the personality. Conclusions. The creator (a teacher) and the subject of creativity (a pupil) form a holistic, harmonious system in which they direct and feedback connections are clearly fixed. The object of creativity can be any phenomenon of the ecosphere, everything that participates in the evolution of the world, including itself creativity and one’s own thinking. The tool of cognition and transformation is a person who can also be the object of creativity. We differentiate between creative, productive thinking and reproductive, based on memorization, repetition and reproduction. Creative thinking is a paradigm of restructuring a holistic, complete situation, the starting point of which is the creative formulation and presentation of the problem. This stage of a creative process is considered to be extremely important. The formulation of a productive question is sometimes a greater achievement than solving the task set before the personality. At the second stage of a creative process there is the construction of a holistic image of the situation (gestalt), the essential point of which is the centering, the transition from superficial and incorrect structuring of the problem to an adequate and correctly centered structure. Finally, the third stage of a creative process is a central link of creative thinking, which involves the emergence of the idea of solving a problem, unexpected insight. That is why the creative process concentrates in its structure the moments of transition from “understanding” to “creative mastery”. The fourth stage of a creative process is the implementation of the solution of the problem, a deeper understanding of how to solve a particular problem in general.

Gender Equality in Elementary Education: A Dream or Reality

For centuries girls were not treated equal to boys in many ways. The education of girls has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century not only at local level but also at the national level. Efforts by the government are on to ensure gender equality but government initiatives alone would not be sufficient to achieve this goal. Society must take initiative to create a climate in which there is no gender discrimination and girls have full opportunity to receive good quality elementary education without any barrier. The female literacy rate is also lower than the male literacy rate. The ground reality is deprivation and exploitation of girls especially from rural areas and those belonging to deprived sections of the society. Education is a powerful tool of social transformation. Hence, education for girls has to be paid special attention. Greater access for education must be ensured in the educational system. Gender sensitivity must be developed. A watch has to be kept on dropout rate of girls and corrective measures should be taken to check the dropout rates. There is no denying the fact that education of girls have made considerable progress in almost every aspect, but they still have to struggle against many handicaps and social evils in the male dominated society. The study found that there are 222 children in the age group of 06-14 years who are out of school from a single education zone. Taking this thing into consideration it seems a dream to achieve 100% literacy rate at elementary level if time bound steps are not taken to solve this problem. Hence, the study will help all stakeholders to become aware of the present situation and issues prevailing in the education zone Khag and can play an active role in solving these problems effectively and fruitfully.

Challenges and Prospects of Litigating Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women in Nigeria: Lessons from Comparative Foreign Jurisprudence

Available statistics revealed vulnerable and fragile conditions for women in Africa, including Nigeria. This is due to the persistent violation of their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), maternal heath rights, choice of spouse and right to determine whether or not to have children and the numbers of children to have, access to contraceptives, etc. These rights are violated due to cultural norms, medical negligence, lack of access to social and economic resources, etc. If this condition is left to fester, Nigerian women may never attain their full potential and capabilities to develop because of the links that exist between sexual and reproductive health and rights and equality, empowerment, economic growth and development. There is, therefore, a need to strengthen this fragile condition through the effective implementation and enforcement of international, regional and national laws relating to SRHR. Rights litigation strategy is an acknowledged tool of empowerment and transformation in this regard. Consequently, this article examines SRHR of women in Nigeria, highlighting the challenges with litigating cases involving SRHR. Also, the article considers the prospects for litigation through a comparative study of selected jurisdictions in order to explore how they have engaged with similar situations and challenges of litigating SRHR and to identify lessons for Nigerian courts.

Sustainable Development of Companies Using the ERP System as a Fundamental Tool of Digital Transformation

Purpose of the article: The purpose is to verify that ERP system implementations are in accordance with the company growth. There is no doubt that the ERP system as a representative of digitalisation tools aims at optimisation of resources and processes, while also contributing to sustainability.Methodology/Methods: The article is based on processing and sorting of secondary data published by the Czech Statistical Office. All relevant data were issued in different formats and structures so they needed to be parsed, cleaned and unified. It would not be possible to achieve expected results without such data transformation requiring knowledge in the field. To ensure higher validity of the study, the dependence between two researched aspects was observed in the lowest possible detail of the data and then summarised into present the final result.Scientific aim: The aim is to identify the relationship between the ERP system implementations and company growth. The study assumes that companies are motivated to digital transformation if it helps them to increase their production or do not temporarily slow it down because of the lifecycle and consequences of the implementation covering investment, deployment and usage of the ERP.Findings: Although the number of Czech companies using an ERP system is not constantly growing, the enterprise production is increasing during the reference period. This phenomenon is noticeable in almost every NACE industry in years 2015, 2017 and 2019. Even though the number of firms using the ERP is not clearly growing, as there is a fall in 2017, the general trend between 2015 and 2019 is increasing.Conclusions: As there is no negative effect of implementation of the ERP system on company growth, enterprises are willing to invest into their digital transformation and thus to support sustainable development as a whole.

COMMERCIALIZATION OF ART IN THE CONTEXT OF CONSUMPTION CULTURE

The Enlightenment philosophy, inspired by the intellectual movements of the Renaissance and Reformation, emerging from the scholastic darkness of the Middle Ages, led to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution with its strong light; With the great acceleration given by the production, it has become the dominant ideology of science, culture and art by spreading first to Europe and then to the whole world. Modernism, which was shaped by the idea of Enlightenment, transformed into capitalism in a short time and caused the formation of a consumption culture. The enlightenment ideology brought the understanding of "objective reason" and "progressive history" to humanity, which transformed it into a consumer society shaped by capitalism instead of the "promised paradise". This is why the 'Age of Modernity' is called the age of capitalist transformation. The spread of capitalism to the whole world has been achieved through mass communication and production techniques. TVs, which are the broadcasting organs of capitalism, have become the main tool of capital transformation and have ensured the spread of consumption culture with advertising and marketing techniques. Modernism has carried the material, thinking and comprehension stages of art to a materialistic dimension within a structure that is far from emotional, formed by a technocentric and mechanical mentality. Art integrated with technology has become commodified with capitalist regulation and institutionalization; has gained a commercial dimension. Pop Art, which emerged in the 1960s, has become the symbol of commercialized art; It has emerged as an art movement that deals with the consumption society and its values. Andy Warhol, the famous representative of Pop Art, is one of the artists known to play a role in the commodification of works of art. Warhol's art has made serious contributions to the process of transforming today's art into commodity aesthetics. Meta art/aesthetics is a tradeable world of copies. This artificial world has turned into the real world in the consumer society, which can be reproduced in line with the possibilities of art production technologies; They have become objects of consumption whose uniqueness has been lost. Keywords: Art, Consumption Culture, Commercialization, Kitsch, Andy Warhol

Regulacje „antyfaszystowskie” jako narzędzie transformacji ustrojowej w Polsce: kazus tzw. małego kodeksu karnego z 1946 r.

“Antifascist” Regulations as a Tool of Systemic Transformation in Poland: The Case of the So-called Small Penal Code of 1946 In Poland in the mid-1940s a number of „anti-fascist” regulations came into force. However, they served mostly as a propaganda tool aimed at fighting political opponents and building a new order. In this context, attention should be drawn to „anti-fascist” provisions contained in a Decree on particularly dangerous crimes during the rebuilding of the State of June 13, 1946 (aka „small penal code”).

. Digitali¬zation of Public-Private Partnership Activation Processes as a Tool for Attracting Investment

Currently, one of the promising areas of economic development is digitalization in general and the formation of a high-quality information infrastructure in particular. This is especially true for the processes of activating public-private partnership – mutually beneficial interaction between the state and business. Due to the pandemic, investors are working with their portfolio more carefully, and it becomes more difficult to attract private funds. The purpose of the study is to analyze the information environment for PPP projects, namely, to assess its attractiveness and transparency for investors. The objectives are to analyze the distribution of concession agreements by investment volume, identify problem areas in the implementation of public-private partnership programmes of the Russian Federation, describe measures that contribute to improving the efficiency of public-private interaction. General scientific methods of analysis and synthesis were used in the work. The authors relied on such materials as current publications of domestic and foreign scientists on the research topic, materials of All-Russian and international management conferences, electronic reports of research centers and official statistics provided by government agencies. As a result, an interactive map is described rating of cities by the level of development of project activities in the field of public-private partnership. The interactive map is a powerful tool of digital transformation, unlike the annual published electronic and paper reports, more accurately reflects the situation on the PPP projects market at the current time, that is, the information remains relevant for each of the requests of each subsequent user. The article also presents the results of a comparative analysis of popular mapping programs as a definition of the most effective and sustainable platform for creating a service. By transforming the traditional information infrastructure in this way, it is possible to increase the investment attractiveness of subjects, and therefore affect the quality of life of residents of both individual cities and the whole country.

Protected designation of origin as driver of change in goat production systems: Beyond added value


 Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is one of the EU tools for rural development. Most of the literature on this subject is focused on premium prices and consumers’ willingness to pay for local products, since PDO and other labels aim to provide premium incomes for farmers. Our assumption is that PDO drives unexpected changes of farming styles not only related to processing or market strategies but also related to local resources using and to stablishing of different approach to agriculture and food production. We analyzed the PDO Queso Palmero (La Palma cheese) as a case of a dual label system (brand–certification common label) because it gives us the opportunity to compare farmers involved in a PDO scheme with farmers who works outside such systems. We conclude that private brands are more important than common label certification in price formation, but both are complementary, since PDO reinforces farmers’ efforts to improve quality. Beyond premium price, PDO also drives a radical change in farm structures, since it reconnects products to local resources (grazing vs intensification) and redesigns relationships with markets (shortening and diversifying chains and widening product offer). This change is characterized by implementation of new farming strategies in the context of PDO structure that coexist with classical farming strategies closer to intensification, not only in terms of productivity but also in terms of decoupling from local resources and productive and market specialization. Therefore, PDO is a powerful tool for rural development in a wide sense (resilience, empowerment, local capacity and network formation among others) far beyond its narrow remit of promoting economic growth (local or regional). Therefore, the coupling with local resources and the strength of local network and relationships as source of resilience, knowledge and capabilities improvement, have to be included in performance assessment of GIs in order to broaden the appraisal of role in regional development.
 Highlights
 
 PDO as institution is a powerful tool of farm transformation not only a protection structure of collective heritage or asset.
 Private brand effect on price is larger than common label effect (PDO label).
 PDO as institution leads radical changes of goat production systems from more production – oriented toward more market – oriented styles.
 Market chains and product diversification, focusing on quality, concern about consumers and coupling with local resources are distinctive features of farms involved in PDO.

Heat and mass transfer attributes of copper–aluminum oxide hybrid nanoparticles flow through a porous medium

Hybrid nanofluids possess better mechanical resistance, physical strength, chemical stability, thermal conductivity and so forth as compared to individual nanoliquids. Our approach in the present work is to offer a novel study involving MHD flow of hybrid nanoparticles with viscous dissipation effect through a porous medium past a stretching surface. A powerful tool of similarity transformation is utilized to transmute the governing flow model PDEs into ordinary ones. The entire system of nonlinear coupled differential equations along with boundary conditions is tackled numerically by means of Successive over Relaxation (SOR) technique. Two distinctive fluids, named Al2O3−Cu/water (hybrid nanofluid) and Cu/water (nanofluid) are exploited to lookout the parametric aspects of heat transport phenomena. Numerical data comparison with the results presented in the previous literature shows a good pact. The results obviously designate that porous medium significantly enhances the shear stresses for pure as well as hybrid nanofluids. The effect of Eckert number is to decelerate the rate of heat transportation and accelerate the temperature. Moreover, heat transport rate increases on sheet surface due to suction.

The Golden Rule as It Ought to Be

The Golden Rule, most commonly expressed in the form to others what you would have them do to you, has attracted criticism for failing to provide practical guidance in case of moral disagreement and for being susceptible to irrational outcomes. I argue that the alleged limitations are not a defect but just what makes the Golden Rule an effective tool of socio-ontological transformation towards ideal agency.
