Does distribution and type of aid affect internal migration following a cyclone? Evidence from Bangladesh

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the impacts of aid in the form of food, cash, and agricultural inputs on internal migration following a series of cyclones in the southern coastal areas of Bangladesh. The impacts of sources of aid, such as institutional or social network sources, were also analysed. With the increasing frequency of extreme climatic events, it becomes crucial to understand the impacts of different post-cyclonic aid on human mobility.Design/methodology/approachA total of 472 households across 16 blocks (moujas) in the Patharghata sub-district of Barguna district were selected for participation using a stratified sampling strategy. Data were captured via a survey which included individual and household-level demographics, migration and aid-receipt following cyclones. Data were analysed using a mixture of descriptive and inferential statistical methods.FindingsThe analysis revealed that migration was significantly higher among households which did not receive institutional food aid. More specifically, non-receipt of food aid and cash aid after a cyclone, different sources of income, non-availability of alternative sources of income, lack of land ownership and severity of cyclones up to a certain level increased migration among the households where a minority of household members migrated. In contrast, the absence of food aid and the severity of cyclones were found to be significant factors in increasing migration among the households where a majority of household members migrated. The authors argue that the decision to migrate from the households where most members migrated increased with the rise in cyclone severity.Originality/valueThe contribution of this research in the field of aid and migration is unique. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research was conducted before on the impacts of distribution and type of aid on internal migration following a cyclone.

Calculation of Pension Funds for TNI Group IIIA Using the Individual Level Premium Method

Prosperity in retirement is one of the important aspects to achieve in the career path of every individual, including the Indonesian National Army (TNI) which relies on pension funds as a source of post-retirement income. Pension funds manage programs that promise financial benefits to participants after they retire. In this context, the study aims to present the calculation of pension funds for TNI class IIIA using the Individual Level Premium method. This method allocates the total pension benefit equally each year. As a result, it is found that the Individual Level Premium method provides a greater pension benefit value than the benefit value using the proportion of salary from ASABRI. This shows that this method is effective in calculating retirement benefits.

Prospective Health Impacts of a Universal Basic Income: Evidence from Community Engagement in South Tyneside, United Kingdom.

Studies have suggested that universal basic income (UBI) has the capacity to have substantial health benefits across the population at national level. Multiple impact pathways have recently been theorized and there are calls for trials to explore these pathways empirically. However, very limited research has taken place at local levels to explore potential context-specific effects, or how these effects could play out in economic, social, and behavioral changes. In order to examine these effects and to think through potential issues and unintended consequences, we brought together citizen engagement groups in Jarrow, South Tyneside, in the northeast of England to explore local people's expectations and positions on the development of UBI policies and pilots prior to their implementation. We found that people's expectations regarding the potential beneficial health impacts of UBI on their communities mapped strongly onto academically theorized impact pathways. They also extended understanding of these pathways in meaningful ways. Our findings add to the literature about UBI and health and provide important insights for the future development of empirical, health focused, UBI research.

Assessment of depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia among government school teachers in the rural catchment areas of Nandyal district: A cross-sectional study

Background: Among the most demanding careers that many Indians choose is teaching. Teachers are under a lot of stress because of all the extra responsibilities and duties they have from the school, education boards, and institutions. This can be a fertile ground for psychological problems among teachers. Aim: To assess depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep disturbances among school teachers and to find out their correlates. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was planned in 100 teachers working in the government schools of the rural catchment of Nandyal district, Andhra Pradesh. Teachers were assessed through a semistructured proforma containing sociodemographic information, information about job-related factors, and DASS 21 to assess depression, anxiety, and stress and Insomnia Severity Index to assess sleep disturbances. Results: The overall prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms among teachers was found to be 28%, 61%, and 24%, respectively, and sleep disturbances were 38%. Depression was found to be independently associated with marital status (married > single, P < 0.001), position at workplace (secondary grade > primary grade, P < 0.001), mode of transport (public transport > personal, P = 0.001), source of income (single > family, P = 0.013), higher level of income (P < 0.001), stress (P < 0.001), and anxiety (P < 0.001). Anxiety was associated with migration for the job (P < 0.001), stress (P < 0.001), and depression (P < 0.001), while insomnia was associated with the type of family (nuclear > joint, P = 0.015), source of income (single > family, P = 0.039), no interaction with a colleague (P = 0.007), being dissatisfied with job (P = 0.002), and stress (P = 0.005). Conclusion: The significantly moderate proportion of depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia among government schoolteachers is suggestive of the need for the necessary psychological aid and counseling for such teachers. Therefore, appropriate methods must be introduced to address the concerns of teachers, thereby reducing anxiety and stress among them.

Agritourism in Extremadura, Spain from the Perspective of Rural Accommodations: Characteristics and Potential Development from Agrarian Landscapes and Associated Activities

The boom of rural tourism in Extremadura (Spain) has been promoted by different administrations, both national and European, through multiple initiatives carried out for several decades. However, it has been developed in a generic way, ignoring the potential of agricultural landscapes for the development of agritourism as a specific variety. Therefore, this research aims to know the opinion of rural lodging owners in order to understand how the activity can be reoriented towards a more specific one, taking advantage of the potential of this type of tourist attraction. For this purpose, information has been collected through surveys to these owners. By carrying out a statistical analysis and a territorial analysis, it is possible to know their socio-demographic structure, as well as the characteristics of the accommodations and other aspects related to the activities they offer to tourists. Following the analyses, characteristics such as age, level of education and sources of income were identified, revealing a lack of knowledge of agritourism. It was also discovered that many lodgings could offer agritourism activities due to the presence of farms and attractive landscapes for tourists. However, there was a lack of activities related to agriculture and livestock, which represents a missed opportunity for the development of agritourism. The territorial analysis showed patterns of activity supply in certain areas, suggesting the possibility of promoting the sustainable development of rural areas through the diversification of tourism activities. Perhaps the main conclusion that can be drawn is the need to take advantage of the attractive landscape and the presence of activity companies to promote the economic and social development of rural areas, contributing to the conservation of traditions and the fight against depopulation.

Evaluation of environmental impact of small-scale oil palm cultivation in Ghana: A life cycle assessment of Juaben Municipal District

Abstract Palm oil has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its various uses in the food, cosmetics, and biofuel industries, resulting in a high global demand. In the 2021/22 marketing year, palm oil production reached approximately 73.8 million metric tons, up from 73 million in 2020/21. Palm oil yields more per area than other oil crops such as sunflower, soybean, and rapeseed. It is also economically feasible to grow in areas where other crops typically do not thrive, providing a source of income for many people. Palm oil cultivation has also contributed to economic growth, rural community development, and poverty reduction in disadvantaged regions, especially in Indonesia, Ghana, and Malaysia. The study’s findings indicate that Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) production significantly contributes to the global warming index. The study also shows that the eutrophication effect resulting from fertiliser usage was lower, with a total value of 1.8 kg PO4 equivalent, which is lower than the values reported in previous studies. This is attributed to the common usage of fertilisers in the study area due to financial constraints. An in-depth analysis of small-scale farmers’ local vegetable oil production was also studied, focusing on the challenges encountered during oil palm cultivation and processing.

Finally, it reviews two ongoing case studies that are implementing the GBADs framework in Peru and the United States of America.

Potential of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) Thickets in Preserving Endangered Ecosystems in Kyrgyz Republic

Intensive urbanization from year to year reduces natural ecosystems that play a huge balancing ecological role on the planet. Preservation of natural ecosystems bordering on cultivated ones requires the development of new approaches to mutually beneficial sustainable development. Great potential lies in the preservation of unique ecosystems with wild fruit-bearing plantations. In this article, using the example of the natural ecosystems of the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, included in the list of Ramsar Convention on the Conservation of Wetlands, the possibility of using natural thickets of sea buckthorn to improve the socio-economic situation of the local population and preserve unique but endangered natural ecosystems is analyzed. Studies have shown that sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruits do not accumulate heavy metals and contain an increased content of ascorbic acid. A survey of the local population showed that local residents do not consider the use of sea buckthorn plantations as a potential source of income, but recognize it as the most environmentally friendly. In order to develop the mutually beneficial development of the local population and natural ecosystems, it is necessary: to use wild-growing fruit-bearing shrubs with the maximum benefit from the annual harvest, among which the sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) has a potential; to develop recommendations and modern technologies for the production of a wide range of products, using all possible parts of sea buckthorn; educate local people on the importance of preserving natural ecosystems and involve local businessmen in preserving vulnerable ecosystems.

Factors Affecting Technical Efficiency of Coffee Producers: The Case Dale Woreda, Sidama Region, Ethiopia

Coffee is the major source of income for smallholder farmers and is a leading export crop for Ethiopia. Even though a great proportion of coffee production comes from smallholder farmers with farm sizes below two hectares, productivity in these farms remained very low. To identify the causes of low productivity this study identified the technical efficiency level of smallholder coffee farmers and the factors that influence technical efficiency in coffee production in Dale Woreda, Sidama Region, Ethiopia using the stochastic frontier approach. In addition, this study attempts to determine whether the agricultural and some of the socio-economic characteristics of farmers can influence the efficiency of their technical efficiency coffee production. By exploiting the information that was gathered in a survey of 150 farmers selected randomly from three kebeles using stratified random sampling in the woreda, these farmers' technical efficiency was estimated using a trans-long-type stochastic frontier model and two-limit Tobit model. The mean technical efficiency of the study area is 65.43%. The results suggest that, factors like the land cover, labor in hours, compost used as well as their cross product and the interaction effects of labor with sufficient compost used, labor with proper capital-labor force, and minimum cost for agricultural equipment and composite with proper capital significant determinants of coffee technical efficiency in the area. Furthermore, variables like educational status, age of the coffee tree, membership of cooperative associations, size of livestock holding, presence of additional off-farm incomes, and age of household head are significant predictors of the technical efficiency of farmers in the study area. Thus, by improving their education, improving the frequency of extension service, increasing livestock holdings, improving membership in cooperative associations, and replacing the aged coffee tree, someone can improve his/her technical efficiency directly and coffee production indirectly.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Livestock Industry for higher productivity and sustainability: The case of Albania

The livestock sector plays an important role in the economic development of the country. This sector is a source of income and employment for many Albanian families who live mainly in rural areas. A large part of the population in our country deals with livestock. But regardless of all the contributions that livestock makes to the food chain, financial sustainability, and the entire economy, this sector faces many challenges. Based on the literature review, a questionnaire to identify these challenges was constructed. The questionnaire contains questions with answers on the Likert scale, is addressed to livestock farmers in Albania, and serves to identify the main challenges affecting the livestock sector. The questionnaire divided the challenges of the livestock sector into five parts, including animal welfare and livestock production, sustainable practices and environmental sustainability, market challenges, information, communication technologies and livestock marketing challenges, and challenges of innovations in livestock production. Animal welfare affects the productivity of the livestock sector. The risk of the spread of epidemic diseases and the high costs of vaccination and medications are a concern for Albanian farmers, who often have difficulties ensuring sustainable profits. In recent years, the livestock sector has faced high input costs. Lack of infrastructure also hinders the efficiency of the livestock sector. The need for sustainable practices and environmental sustainability demands more attention. While farmers want to adopt sustainable livestock methods, they face difficulties in implementing them. Unpredictable livestock prices complicate financial planning for farmers. In addition, small farms face challenges competing with larger ones. Farmers face difficulties in becoming part of new markets due to a lack of effective marketing channels. The lack of a labor force is the biggest challenge that the livestock sector in Albania is facing. Innovation often serves to solve many problems in the livestock sector. Farmers use new technologies to increase livestock productivity. But the use of new technologies requires knowledge, which Albanian farmers often don’t have. They do not have the proper education to understand and apply these technologies. In conclusion, this paper aims to highlight the various problems faced by the livestock sector. Overcoming these problems by dealing directly with them can increase the productivity of the livestock sector, ensuring a better future for the industry.

Household Fuelwood Consumption and Its Implication for Carbon Dioxide Emission

This review paper aims to gather informative data on the impact of climate extremes on the physical environment, public health, and the livelihoods of people in Ethiopia. The primary sources of data for this review were peer-reviewed journal articles obtained from electronic databases such as PubMed, Central, Scopus, and Web of Science. Globally, the vast majority of households in developing countries depend on wood energy for their daily energy needs. Such consumption trends are expected to remain a common feature of traditional wood energy production and consumption, at least in the short- to medium-terms. This situation increases the demand for firewood and charcoal from the forest. The process of harvesting standing trees for charcoal and fire wood leads to forest degradation. Although woody biomass has the function of energy consumption, and as a source of income for rural villagers and urban poor dwellers practicing agriculture, wood energy generally has low priority in national policies of developing countries. However, unsustainable management and negative environmental consequences in humid and dry forests is derived from the use of fuel wood energy. Still now there is an unsystematic assessment of the economic contribution and environmental consequences of wood energy use, so its significance and consequences have been minimized. This deforestation and forest degradation contributes 1–2.4 Gt CO2e of greenhouse gases, which is 2–7% of global anthropogenic emissions, with global greenhouse gas emissions mostly CO2.

Revenue Model of Professional Tennis Players Signed under IMG Sports Brokerage Firm

In the context of the flourishing professional tennis leagues and the increasing prominence of commercial value, how to effectively cultivate and promote tennis players has become a focal point for the sports industry and the agency sector. Employing case analysis and literature review methods, this research delves into the training costs and income sources of tennis players, as well as the role of sports management companies in this process. The study initially points out that nurturing a top-tier tennis player requires substantial financial input. However, once the athlete achieves significant success, the returns are highly lucrative, primarily deriving from competition prize money, brand sponsorships, and revenues from commercial activities. Sports management companies, such as IMG, play a crucial role in the selection, training, and commercial promotion of athletes. Through their professional operations, they significantly enhance the commercial value of the athletes. The study provides a detailed analysis of how sports management companies systematically cultivate athletes and maximize their commercial value through diversified means. The findings indicate that the involvement of sports management companies is crucial for enhancing the commercial value and competitiveness of athletes. Addressing the current situation of training and agency management for Chinese tennis players, this paper proposes several recommendations, including improving the legal framework, promoting diversification in sports training, and implementing a "trinity" training mechanism, etc. These recommendations aim to promote the holistic development of Chinese tennis players and advance the standardization and professionalization of the tennis agency industry.

Women Initiatives and Its Impact on Agro-Ecotourism Development in Rural Areas

In Indonesia, a new form of tourism called agro-ecotourism has emerged from rural agricultural activities. It holds great promise in conjunction with cultural and ecotourism. The participation of women in agro-ecotourism has had substantial impact on its development and socio-economic well-being. However, the societal expectations that limited women to the home have diminished their significance within it. This article analyzed the current status of agro-ecotourism in Sukowilangun village, Kalipare sub-district, Malang District, East Java. The focus was on identifying the factors that drove and hindered participation in tourism, with a particular emphasis on gender. This article also explored the role of local communities in the development of a gender-inclusive agro-ecotourism model. This study utilized a qualitative approach, incorporating in-depth interviews and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) techniques. It was evident from the findings that, despite progress in the tourism sector, the current level of female involvement in tourism destinations remains unsatisfactory. It was discovered that Sukowilangun village has great potential for developing Agro-ecotourism centered around processed cassava. This initiative, led by The Perempuan Singkong, a collective of migrant women’s families, shows great promise as a source of income and a way to generate more community interest in tourism. Lastly, the development of a top-notch tourism destination necessitates the focus on three crucial aspects: establishment of proper institutions, investment in skilled personnel, and fostering women’s involvement. Through the promotion of gender equality and the inclusion of women in decision-making processes, tourism destinations foster a more diverse and inclusive environment that brings benefits to all. Keywords: Agro-ecotourism; Community-based; Institutionalization; Women- participation
