The social rituals and infant feeding practices offer both opportunities and barriers to infant’s health. But infant feeding remains poor in a vulnerable population such as tribe because of their unique culture. The social rituals following the birth of an infant are explored in addition to practices of infant feeding in Dhangar tribe of Maharashtra in India. Seventeen mothers of 6-12 months old infant were interviewed in an in-depth interview, while 44 grandmothers were interviewed in seven focus group discussions. The thematic analysis of narratives emerged specific and distinct themes. The results revealed that the tribe follows prominent social rituals after the birth of an infant, the mother initiated late breastfeeding, fed prelacteals and neglected exclusive breastfeeding. However, they observed taboos on mother’s diet, but they offered colostrum and breastfed the infant during her sickness. Thus, the tribe follows their unique social rituals on the birth of an infant and continues with the slow change in infant feeding practices.

In fact, infant feeding remain poor because mother’s low age, illiteracy, unemployment and low-income family (Khan et al. 2017), in developing countries fail to support it. Again, social rituals direct the infant care and feeding practices. The mother’s awareness and effective feeding practices, especially for vulnerable mothers like those in the tribes residing in rural areas, would initiate late breastfeeding (Exavery et al. 2015). And hence the understanding of family’s support and therein advice to a lactating mother would be essential to know infant feeding and social rituals (Abel et al. 2001). In marginalised population (tribal, rural, or slum), infant feeding practices such as giving colostrum (Swetha et al. 2014), breastfeeding exclusively (Adugna et al. 2017; Velusamy et al. 2017), and adequate diet for lactating mothers (Kulakac et al. 2007) are established to be low. On the other hand, support of family and community members facilitate timely initiation of breastfeeding and continuation (Horii et al. 2017), which initiates from inherent social rituals and practices associated with infant care. This paper is, thus, the qualitative exploration into social rituals and infant feeding practices on a tribe that can provide valuable information to local healthcare. The investigation will facilitate the improved health of a mother and her infant. Again, this understanding would make advancing among mothers to aware about health systems knowledge to ensure better care, support, and diet for them and infant. Therefore, this study
社会仪式和婴儿喂养做法为婴儿的健康提供了机会和障碍。但在部落这样的弱势群体中，由于其独特的文化，婴儿喂养仍然很差。在印度马哈拉施特拉邦的丹格部落，除了婴儿喂养的做法外，还探讨了婴儿出生后的社会仪式。对17位6-12月龄婴儿的母亲进行了深度访谈，对44位祖母进行了7次焦点小组讨论。叙事的主题分析出现了具体而鲜明的主题。研究结果显示，该部落在婴儿出生后遵循着重要的社会仪式，母亲开始母乳喂养，喂养泌乳前的婴儿，并忽视了纯母乳喂养。然而，他们在母亲的饮食上有禁忌，但他们在她生病期间提供初乳并母乳喂养婴儿。因此，部落在婴儿出生时遵循他们独特的社会仪式，并继续缓慢改变婴儿喂养方式。通讯地址:Arvind Santu Jadhav博士学者，理学士，城市生活垃圾，MPS，哲学硕士(IIPS)国际人口科学研究所，孟买，Govandi站路，Govandi，印度孟买400 088，马哈拉施特拉邦，孟买手机:91+9699020648 E-mail: arvina27@gmail.com在任何社会群体或社区中，婴儿护理和社会仪式都适用于婴儿和母亲。事实上，在发展中国家，由于母亲年龄低、文盲、失业和低收入家庭(Khan et al. 2017)，婴儿喂养仍然很差。再一次，社会仪式指导婴儿的护理和喂养实践。母亲的意识和有效的喂养做法，特别是那些居住在农村地区部落的弱势母亲，将开始晚母乳喂养(Exavery et al. 2015)。因此，了解家庭的支持以及对哺乳期母亲的建议对于了解婴儿喂养和社会仪式至关重要(Abel et al. 2001)。在边缘人群(部落、农村或贫民窟)中，婴儿喂养方式如给予初乳(Swetha等人，2014年)、纯母乳喂养(Adugna等人，2017年;Velusamy et al. 2017)，哺乳期母亲的充足饮食(Kulakac et al. 2007)被确定为低。另一方面，家庭和社区成员的支持有助于及时开始和继续母乳喂养(Horii et al. 2017)，这源于与婴儿护理相关的固有社会仪式和实践。因此，本文是对一个部落的社会仪式和婴儿喂养实践的定性探索，可以为当地医疗保健提供有价值的信息。这项调查将有助于改善母亲及其婴儿的健康状况。同样，这种理解将有助于提高母亲对卫生系统知识的认识，以确保为她们和婴儿提供更好的护理、支持和饮食。因此，本研究旨在回答两个具体的目标。

ABSTRACT The increasing challenge posed by HIV/AIDS and poverty coupled with limited government service delivery have increased the reliance on youth volunteers in Zimbabwe. Ironically, youth continue to lose interest in voluntary work and the reasons for this are not clear. Therefore, this paper explored factors that either promote or inhibit the involvement of youth in voluntary work. Perceptions of youth towards volunteering were also sought. A case study design involving focus group discussions and individual interviews was utilised. Youth participants were selected using a multistage stratified random sampling technique. The data was analysed using the Atlas Ti version 6 software. The desire to develop communities, for the hope of getting incentives and the quest to develop networks, motivated youth to volunteer. Results also showed that youth voluntary participation in community development vary according to gender. Likewise, the factors of volunteering differed as distance increased from the main urban area.
艾滋病和贫困带来的挑战日益严峻，加上政府提供的服务有限，津巴布韦越来越依赖青年志愿者。具有讽刺意味的是，年轻人继续对志愿工作失去兴趣，其原因尚不清楚。因此，本文探讨了促进或抑制青年参与志愿工作的因素。还寻求青年对志愿服务的看法。采用焦点小组讨论和个人访谈的案例研究设计。青年参与者选择采用多阶段分层随机抽样技术。使用Atlas Ti version 6软件对数据进行分析。发展社区的愿望，获得奖励的希望和发展网络的追求，激励着年轻人去做志愿者。结果还显示，青年自愿参与社区发展的情况因性别而异。同样，随着距离主城区的距离增加，志愿服务的因素也有所不同。

ABSTRACT Culture and religion are two main fibres that sustain the continued existence of a community. However, issues of cultural intersection and the negative effects of cultural shock as a result of colonialism result into diverse forms of confusion in African societies. Considering the relevance of culture, this study investigates the aesthetics of Yoruba culture in Death and the King’s Horseman by Soyinka. An identification and illumination of the significance of the Yoruba culture in the present society situation serves as a basis for restoring, re-establishing and propagating the Yoruba culture as a panacea for societal cleansing. This study is anchored on post-colonial theoretical framework which explains the unpleasant disruption of the rich values inherent in the Yoruba culture. The study concludes that there is need to resuscitate the best and the progressive aspect of the culture of the Yoruba people in order to redeem the vanishing value systems in an era of globalization.

ABSTRACT The paper examines the challenges confronting Amathole District Municipality (ADM) managers in implementing the socio-economic strategies on the rural communities in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The objective of this paper was to examine the challenges confronting the ADM managers in implementing the socio-economic strategies in rural communities and analyse the needs to effectively improve on their district socio-economic policies. This paper used a literature review methodology to unpack the challenges faced by the ADM managers and its local municipalities in achieving an effective implementation of socio-economic policy goals. In addition, the finding of the study shows that most of the District Managers are incompetent to implement an effective Local Economic Development (LED) strategy, inappropriate national and provincial government policies, practices and burdensome requirements; socio-economic conditions prevailing in many municipalities that are not been adequately addressed through macro, micro-economic and industrial policies and plans of the State; a breakdown of values at a societal level that is breeding unethical behavior, corruption, culture of non-payment, and lack of accountability were some of the major challenges faced by the ADM managers in implementing socio-economic policy in the district. There is a need for the government and her policy-makers to urgently adhere to rural communities needs in order to avoid the rural-urban migration in the country. The study recommends that the ADM managers should ensure that municipalities meet the basic service needs of communities.

ABSTRACT The main objective of this qualitative study was to explore how teachers teach reading comprehension to Grade 3 Tshivenda-speaking learners. The study developed a conceptual framework from the literatu re review, consisting of five phases that were identified and developed. The phases were namely, creating awareness of the reading comprehension challenge, strategic planning, teaching of reading comprehension strategies, self-monitoring and feedback and self-efficacy are interdependent and form a continuous cycle. The study recommended that, parents, principals, heads of departments and teachers need to be actively involved in the education of their learners. The teacher needs theoretical knowledge and be strategic in planning, creating an atmosphere conducive for learning. Teachers must be able to motivate learners to participate actively in the reading comp rehension process. Teachers need to develop skills, knowledge, and self-regulatory strategies to support learn ers until they can read independently.

ABSTRACT The present cross-sectional data was collected on 710 Chakma tribal children (539 boys and 513 girls) aged 6 to 16 years from North District of Tripura. This study was conducted to determine the physical growth and the nutritional status of randomly selected school going Chakma children of Tripura. The nutritional status in terms of stunting (Height >3rd percentile), thinness (BMI> 5th percentile) and overweight (BMI< 85th percentile) were measured by the classification of World Health Organization, using the WHO growth reference data of 2007. Socio-economic status was measured using the updated Kuppusswami scale. The overall prevalence of stunting, thinness and overweight were found 38.31 percent, 10.56 percent and 2.68 percent respectively. It wa s also noticed that prevalence of undernutrition is slightly greater in boys than girls. This study indicated that both under nutrition and over nutrition coexisted among the Chakma tribal children of Tripura, although the num ber of overweight children is negligible.
