Abstract: The study examined the knowledge and awareness of mothers towards self-medication in a Niger-Delta community of Nigeria. It was designed to assess the knowledge and awareness of mothers towards self-medication.

A sample size of 560 pregnant women and mothers within age 15 to age 49 were randomly selected. The research design was in a descriptive form. A structured questionnaire was used with test retest coefficient of 0.84 established. Data collected were analysed using chi-square, numbers, and percentages.

Findings show that a great numbers of the respondents were not aware of the severity of the negative effects of self-medication on pregnancy and childbearing. The commonest reasons given for not consulting qualified personnel for prescription was that, illness not serious enough to require consultation, peer influence and ignorance about the problem resulting from self-medication.  Similarly, convectional education and health education were associated with the knowledge and awareness of mothers towards self-medication. Majority of the mothers had a significant knowledge of factors that influence self-medication. Finally, the implications of this study are the needs for health education and awareness programmes on the hazards, the risks and harmful effects as well as malformation that are associated with self-medication.

Conclusively, the paper suggests that government and non-governmental organization should see to the unnecessary media advertisement of drugs and ensures that only qualified pharmacist are allowed the sale and dispense of drugs. Future studies should compare the effects of self-medication on pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract: This study examined the historical analysis of the contribution of civil society in promoting democratic education in rural areas of Kisumu County since 1963. There is little extant information of democratic education’s impacts among the rural populace, as much as it represents a giant fraction of citizens in Kisumu County. Civil societies have been involved in democratic education in the County from the time of independence, employing different methods and strategies, however, these interventions appear to have had limited positive effects on the level of democratic awareness in rural areas, because ‘deep-seated’ democratic values such as political tolerance have been difficult to attain and sustain. This study sought to assess how democratic education has promoted political participation of citizens.  The study is of great significance as it may be used to promote the inclusion of rural citizens in empowerment and awareness creation programs as democratic participants.  The study was conducted through descriptive research design; data was obtained through questionnaires, archival sources and focus group discussion schedule. The study is guided by Social Capital Theory that holds that a network or battery of Civil Societies and citizens consortium help to sustain a good working relations and rapport between civil society and community in a way that not only generates trust but also cooperation between citizens in addition helps to build and nurture a high level of civic engagement and participation (Newton, 2001). Qualitative technique was used to analyze data and data was presented in a narrative form. The study revealed that Democratic education programs have enabled citizens to develop interest not only in the local community affairs but also national affairs. Pursuits for justice and internalization of the constitution have been enhanced. Considering the immense value of democratic education to the agenda of political and democratic development of Kenya, the study recommends that for effective democratic education to be realised participatory approach ought to be used, the trainer should be knowledgeable, interesting and multiple exposure to democratic sessions should be encouraged. Moreover an enabling environment should be granted for CSOs to thrive.

Keywords: Democratic education, civil society organisations, political participation.

Abstract: Examining the migration decision is a complex task given that migration is changing over time and multicausal complicated processes. This paper provides an overview of international migration globally and focusing mainly on Egypt as the most populated country in the Arab world. Moreover, it explores the determinants of international migration in Egypt based on a systematic review of empirical studies. To identify potential studies, we conducted searches of JSTOR, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases published between January 1, 1961 and January 31, 2020 using combinations of “determinants of migration” and “international migration in Egypt” search terms. Furthermore, an investigation of estimated migrant stock flows, and its determinants can provide fertile ground for potential migration forecasts through furnish some required indications for the demographic and economic analyses and assist policymakers in preparing legislative frameworks and adequate policy and for their own country’s development.

Abstract: A polarised society like that of the Vulnerable Tribal Groups suffer profound ineffective social capital as well as blocked pathways of upward mobility in the society. This leads to a vicious poverty trap. The inception of this pandemic has cost these PVTGs even more profound impact. As the lands inhabited by Indigenous Peoples from time immemorial are the only areas in India with healthy forests, rich biodiversity and other natural riches. Their very own ancestral lands are promulgated as the specific target of developing India’s speedy economic development schemes and programs during the COVID-19 lockdown, Indigenous people then bear the brunt of the most serious challenges by the COVID-19 pandemic.

To explore these the connotations, this paper uses a mix of quantitative and cross examining qualitative factors using statistical tools to reach a final conclusion. This would be through employing the newfound econometric analysis of the parameters. 

Qualitative analysis through patterns of mobility, and confirms the continuation of this pattern of limited upward mobility and a low-level poverty trap.

In addition, both parameters would permit a closer look at the crucial role played by social relationships which are often missed out by the profit-surplus entities through adequate evidence of active social instruments of kinship, descent, capital, etc. This would help in delineating an economic sense of these primitive societies to sociability amongst the tribals engaging in labour markets in the urban regions, fostering products in ‘Mandis’ and contract schemes with the government and private entities, elimination of the polarised economic legacy of  their ‘savage’ ‘barbaric image’ will ultimately require more proactive efforts.

Abstract: Bangladesh transformed from a war-decimated, famine stricken fledging new state in 1971 to become the breadbasket of South Asia. Beating out India and China in its effort to fight back poverty and hunger, the Muslim-dominant democracy has been a true model of development. The country’s focus on education, health, nutrition, and safety-nets for the poor have worked to build a food-secure nation. The home of the first micro-loans, Bangladeshi small holder farms have flourished. The country has been a beacon of light in the region, representing advanced levels of women’s empowerment, most notably by electing female prime ministers who have held office more years than males in Bangladesh’s fifty year existence. Co-existence between religions is heralded, and the government directly supports the LGBTQ community, even offering financial bonuses to those who hire members. While Bangladesh continues to have large challenges, including intensive political infighting, their bright future is marred by a growing struggle against terrorism. Though leaders have taken a supremely hard line against Islamists extremists, both home grown and international, they are lagging behind in efforts to curtail explosive growth in internet jihadist recruitment that is sewing division and hatred among the population. If leaders are not successful in curbing and reversing this trend, it could  undermine or even destroy the herculean efforts of those who have worked so hard to create this jewel of democracy and human rights.

Abstract: State and religion are traditional agencies that define social status of different caste communities in Indian society. Tribal communities, historically, co-exist with the caste system, both having limited but significant interactions. Social status of tribal communities depends not only State and religion but also on the land-holding relations. There exists a tribe-caste continuum in which primitive tribal groups represent one end and the Brahmins, the Hindu religious elite, the other. Religion in India can be further broadly classified as religion of the scripture and popular religion. Some festivals in India represent both, the religion of the scripture and popular religion. Kumbha Mela and Medaram Jatra are two grand festivals, involving over ten million people and having contrasting characteristics. While the Kumbha Mela represents the ‘Great’ Hindu tradition having both the sanctions of the scriptures and people, Medaram Jatra is a grand and popular tribal tradition but not a ‘great’ one as it does not involve the urban religious elites or their scriptures. However, both these festivals offer opportunities to the ‘little’ tribal communities to express their claims, specially the geopolitical ones. The present study is based on the study of the two aforesaid grand festivals not just as events, but as historical, social traditions having their own ‘habitus’ and ‘doxa’ and involving geopolitical claims of the tribal communities. While the tribal communities struggling with the the issue displacement put forth their claims within the Kumbha Mela framework, the Medaram Jatra represents the claims of a community assimilated culturally as cultivators.

Abstract: Primary school years present crucial opportunities for children’s development and learning. Parents’ engagement in their children’s education is thus important since they are the first educators of their children. Most importantly, parents’ engagement in the children’s education enhances their academic outcomes.  The purpose of this study therefore was to assess the impact of parents’ engagement in their primary school children’s education as influenced by: their socio-economic status, level of education, teachers’ perception on parents’ engagement and the strategies used by schools to promote parents’ engagement in their children’s primary school education.  The study was guided by Epstein’s Model of parents’ engagement which describes six types of parents’ engagement including:  parenting, communication, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, and collaborating with the community.  The study employed the descriptive research design and specifically used the survey method.  The sample size constituted 4 primary schools, a similar number of head teachers, 12 students, 11 teachers, and 16 parents. The data collected from respondents, comprising students and teachers, was analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the data   Interviews were also conducted with head teachers, students, education sector officials and parents. The results were presented in the form of tables and graph. Findings indicated that parents always participated in activities that required them to support their children financially.  However, they moderately participated in other activities relating to education due to daily business engagements which paused a challenge to them thus limiting their capacity to engage themselves fully in their children’s education.  The study recommended to school Head teachers to involve parents in their children education by inviting them regularly in various school-based or school-related activities at time. It was recommended to teachers also to provide to students the homework regularly and request to children to ask to their parents for helping them while they are doing them.
