While there has been much research on the effect of religiosity on physical and mental health, the socioeconomic determinants of religiosity are not well understood. Using data from different waves of the World Values Survey, this paper analyzes the socioeconomic patterns and determinants of religiosity in nine Asian countries—China, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The analysis suggests that religiosity varies significantly with age and sex, as well as with relative income, absolute income, socioeconomic status, education, and employment status. There are large differences in “innate” religiosity across the nine countries even after controlling for these socioeconomic characteristics. The results thus suggest that some of the widely observed effects of religiosity on health in the literature may simply reflect the associations of religiosity with background variables like education and socioeconomic status.
虽然有很多关于宗教信仰对身心健康影响的研究,但宗教信仰的社会经济决定因素尚未得到很好的理解。本文利用世界价值观调查不同阶段的数据,分析了中国、孟加拉国、印度、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、巴基斯坦、菲律宾、泰国和越南这九个亚洲国家的社会经济模式和宗教信仰的决定因素。分析表明,宗教信仰随年龄、性别、相对收入、绝对收入、社会经济地位、教育程度和就业状况而有显著差异。即使在控制了这些社会经济特征之后,九个国家的“天生”宗教信仰也存在很大差异。因此,研究结果表明,文献中广泛观察到的一些宗教信仰对健康的影响可能只是反映了宗教信仰与教育和社会经济地位等背景变量的关联。

This study examined the trends and factors associated with early pregnancies and motherhood among young women in three sub-Saharan African countries: Malawi, Mali, and Niger. Descriptive and multivariate analyses showed that the prevalence of early childbearing declined significantly in all three countries between 2006 and 2016. Moreover, the determinants of age at first childbearing varied across these nations. It is crucial to implement programmes that encourage delaying the age of the first sexual debut. In addition, providing adolescent women with comprehensive knowledge about responsible and safer sex practices and motherhood is paramount in addressing this challenge.
本研究调查了撒哈拉以南非洲三个国家(马拉维、马里和尼日尔)年轻女性早孕和孕产的趋势和相关因素。描述性和多变量分析显示,2006年至2016年期间,这三个国家的早育患病率显著下降。此外,决定首次生育年龄的因素在这些国家也各不相同。实施鼓励推迟初次性行为年龄的规划至关重要。此外,向青春期妇女提供有关负责任和更安全的性行为和母亲身份的全面知识,对于应对这一挑战至关重要。

The Perils of Colonial and Marxist Narratives in an Unconquered Lands: Ethnic-Based Killings and Evictions of the Amhara in Ethiopia 殖民主义和马克思主义叙事在未被征服的土地上的危险:基于种族的杀戮和埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉人的驱逐

The present study explains the occurrence of violent killings and forced displacement of ethnically targeted groups, the Amhara in this case, through the direct influence of colonial narratives employed by fascist Italian colonizers and the indirect influence of radical Marxist political forces embracing Eurocentric education in their grasp of the Ethiopian local and indigenous situation. The study poses two major questions: What is the historical root behind the genesis of the hegemonic anti-Amhara discourse in Ethiopian politics? What are the consequences of this discourse? The study found out that Italy’s invented discourse of Amhara domination, unsubjected to critical mediation by Ethiopia’s political forces, has introduced a re-politicization of ethnicity to the politico-intellectual makeup of the country, which resulted, inter alia, in ongoing societal (in)securities of the Amhara population. In what seems to overcome these insecurity situations and fill the political representation void, the Amhara “defensive ethnonationalism” has emerged since 2015.
本研究通过法西斯意大利殖民者所采用的殖民叙事的直接影响,以及激进马克思主义政治力量在掌握埃塞俄比亚当地和土著情况的情况下接受以欧洲为中心的教育的间接影响,解释了发生暴力杀戮和强迫目标种族群体(在本例中是阿姆哈拉人)流离失所的原因。该研究提出了两个主要问题:埃塞俄比亚政治中霸权反阿姆哈拉话语起源背后的历史根源是什么?这种论述的后果是什么?研究发现,意大利虚构的阿姆哈拉统治话语,没有受到埃塞俄比亚政治力量的批判性调解,已经将种族重新政治化引入了该国的政治知识结构,这导致了阿姆哈拉人口持续的社会安全。自2015年以来,阿姆哈拉人出现了“防御性民族民族主义”,似乎克服了这些不安全局势,填补了政治代表的空白。

Addis Ababa/Finfinne, the capital of Ethiopia, is currently among the most booming cities in Africa, using Amharic, the Federal working language of the country, as its lingua franca. Afan Oromo, another language with wider usage in the country, is also native to the indigenous Oromo community residing in the Sheger sub-cities surrounding Addis Ababa/Finfinne (SSSAA/F). This study (a) describes patterns of language use and (b) examines if and how the increasing urbanization of Addis Ababa/Finfinne affects language use and lingo-cultural identity among young people residing in SSSAA/F. A combination of descriptive quantitative and qualitative research design involving questionnaires, surveying of official reports, interviews and observation was employed. Data were collected from 151 adolescents (age: M = 18.22, SD = 1.31, range = 10 years; Male = 74, Female = 74) with diverse lingo-cultural backgrounds and analyzed statistically and thematically. Results showed that there has been an increasing pattern of diversity as well as total shifts toward an Amharic-based lingo-cultural identity due to urbanization. Such a phenomenon is only natural in the absence of a language policy that embraces diversity and averts the dominance of a certain lingo-cultural identity at the expense of others. The results, therefore, have policy and practical implications.
埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴/Finfinne是目前非洲最繁荣的城市之一,使用该国联邦工作语言阿姆哈拉语作为其通用语。阿凡奥罗莫语是另一种在该国广泛使用的语言,也是居住在亚的斯亚贝巴/Finfinne (SSSAA/F)周围Sheger次城市的土著奥罗莫社区的母语。本研究(a)描述了语言使用的模式,(b)考察亚的斯亚贝巴/芬尼日益增长的城市化是否以及如何影响居住在亚的斯亚贝巴/芬尼的年轻人的语言使用和语言文化认同。采用描述性、定量和定性相结合的研究设计,包括问卷调查、官方报告调查、访谈和观察。数据来自151名青少年(年龄:M = 18.22, SD = 1.31,范围= 10年;男性= 74,女性= 74),不同的语言文化背景,并进行统计和主题分析。结果表明,由于城市化,多样性模式不断增加,并且总体上向以阿姆哈拉语为基础的语言文化认同转变。如果没有一项语言政策来包容多样性,避免以牺牲其他语言文化身份为代价的某种语言文化身份的主导地位,这种现象是很自然的。因此,研究结果具有政策和实际意义。

This study aims at exploring how the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) school environment and ritualized activities practiced by the students on a daily basis contribute to constructing their national identity. The data were drawn from ethnographic fieldwork involving observation of rituals and interviews with 83 informants. The findings show how the school system exposes the students to a diverse range of ritualized activities that help in the construction of national identity. The research contributes to the literature on national identity construction, specifically on ways of cultivating patriotism and national pride among school children.

This paper examines the impact of population aging on personal income tax (PIT) revenue in Vietnam for the period 2014–2030. With the assumptions of a changing tax base and growing real gross domestic product (GDP), the total PIT revenue is projected to increase in absolute terms. However, the projected total PIT revenue as a percentage of GDP under an aging population and the counterfactual results (without aging population) show a negative impact on PIT revenue in the studied period.
本文研究了2014-2030年越南人口老龄化对个人所得税收入的影响。根据税基变化和实际国内生产总值(GDP)增长的假设,预计PIT总收入的绝对值将增加。然而,在人口老龄化和反事实结果(没有人口老龄化)的情况下,预计的总PIT收入占GDP的百分比对研究期间的PIT收入产生了负面影响。

This article contributes twofold to the international discussion on ‘gated communities as a living choice’. First, this study constructs a ‘living choice’ framework based on the physical, social, and economic characteristics of gated communities as established by the four key researchers. Next, the framework is applied to analyze the reasons for living within gated communities in Karachi, Pakistan. A cross-comparison of two gated communities employs post-occupancy household survey questionnaires from residents, and qualitative interviews with real estate developers, and community managers. The findings ascertain that security and lifestyle are the main values associated with living in gated communities in Karachi.
这篇文章对“封闭式社区作为一种生活选择”的国际讨论有双重贡献。首先,本研究基于四位主要研究者建立的封闭社区的物理、社会和经济特征构建了一个“生活选择”框架。接下来,应用该框架分析巴基斯坦卡拉奇封闭式社区居住的原因。对两个封闭式社区的交叉比较采用了居民入住后的住户调查问卷,以及对房地产开发商和社区管理者的定性访谈。调查结果表明,安全和生活方式是卡拉奇封闭式社区生活的主要价值。

Conflict in the Contested Borderland: Land-Based Conflict Across the Ethiopia–Sudan Border in Metema Woreda Borderland, Northwestern Ethiopia 在有争议的边境地区的冲突:在埃塞俄比亚西北部Metema worreda边境地区,埃塞俄比亚-苏丹边境的陆基冲突

The main aim of the study was to investigate the causes of cross-border land–based conflict along the Ethiopia–Sudan border in Metema Woreda borderlands. The study employed a qualitative research approach and thus in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and observation instruments of data collection were used. The study found out that the internal land administrative defects in Metema and the Ethiopian government land handover claims to the Sudanese investor have been among the reasons behind the conflict. In addition, the abundant availability of illicit firearms transaction in the area has intensified the land conflict. Moreover, the existence of the contested border with no clear demarcation between Ethiopia and Sudan also aggravates the conflict. Consequently, whenever land shortage occurs in Metema and there is a feeling of Ethiopia’s land confiscation by the Sudanese, the Ethiopian borderland farmers are forced to cross the border and farm on the land claimed by the Sudanese. Therefore, the symbolic land that people carry in their mind along with other internal land–related problems was the cause of the conflict. To sum up, the internal land–related problems along with the contested white line (the colonial border which was demarcated when Sudan was under British rule but remains unclear and contested) claims justify the reason for the cross-border conflict in the area.
这项研究的主要目的是调查埃塞俄比亚-苏丹边境Metema worreda边境地区跨境陆基冲突的原因。本研究采用质性研究方法,采用深度访谈、焦点小组讨论、数据收集观察等方法。研究发现,Metema内部的土地管理缺陷和埃塞俄比亚政府对苏丹投资者的土地移交要求是冲突背后的原因之一。此外,该地区大量的非法军火交易加剧了土地冲突。此外,埃塞俄比亚和苏丹之间没有明确划分的有争议边界的存在也加剧了冲突。因此,每当Metema出现土地短缺,并且有苏丹人没收埃塞俄比亚土地的感觉时,埃塞俄比亚边境地区的农民就被迫越过边界,在苏丹人声称拥有的土地上耕种。因此,人们心中的象征性土地以及其他与土地有关的内部问题是冲突的原因。总而言之,内部土地相关问题以及有争议的白线(苏丹在英国统治下划定的殖民边界,但仍然不明确和有争议)主张证明了该地区跨境冲突的原因。

This study sheds new light on understanding COVID-19 response in South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe by employing social network analysis for Twitter. This study finds that African countries have different social networks for COVID-19. For instance, news media play an important role in South Africa, governmental key players exert a significant impact on Nigeria, and African key players play a significant role in Ghana. The Ministries play a significant role in Kenya, institutes and organizations play a critical role in Zambia, and the Minister of Health and the President of Zimbabwe play an important role in Zimbabwe. Second, African countries show different social network systems according to groups. For example, Kenya shows the most active communication networks across groups, whereas Zambia shows the least communication networks across groups among the six countries. Third, African countries have different top-mentioned tweeters in the networks. For example, South Africa shows news media, Ghana and Zambia have international organizations, and Nigeria, Kenya, and Zimbabwe exhibit government institutes as the top-mentioned tweeter. Therefore, governments and policymakers should understand the characteristics of social networks of COVID-19 to cope with the pandemic effectively.
这项研究通过对Twitter进行社交网络分析,为了解南非、尼日利亚、加纳、肯尼亚、赞比亚和津巴布韦的COVID-19应对工作提供了新的思路。这项研究发现,非洲国家对COVID-19的社交网络不同。例如,新闻媒体在南非扮演着重要的角色,政府关键角色在尼日利亚发挥着重要的影响,非洲关键角色在加纳发挥着重要的作用。各部委在肯尼亚发挥重要作用,各机构和组织在赞比亚发挥关键作用,卫生部长和津巴布韦总统在津巴布韦发挥重要作用。第二,非洲国家根据群体表现出不同的社会网络体系。例如,肯尼亚显示出最活跃的跨群体通信网络,而赞比亚显示出六个国家中跨群体通信网络最少。第三,非洲国家在网络上有不同的高提及推特用户。例如,南非展示了新闻媒体,加纳和赞比亚有国际组织,尼日利亚、肯尼亚和津巴布韦展示了政府机构作为最常提到的推特。因此,政府和政策制定者应该了解COVID-19社交网络的特点,以便有效应对疫情。

This study finds that African countries have different social networks for COVID-19. For instance, news media play an important role in South Africa, governmental key players exert a significant impact on Nigeria, and African key players play a significant role in Ghana. The Ministries play a significant role in Kenya, institutes and organizations play a critical role in Zambia, and the Minister of Health and the President of Zimbabwe play an important role in Zimbabwe. Second, African countries show different social network systems according to groups. For example, Kenya shows the most active communication networks across groups, whereas Zambia shows the least communication networks across groups among the six countries. Third, African countries have different top-mentioned tweeters in the networks. For example, South Africa shows news media, Ghana and Zambia have international organizations, and Nigeria, Kenya, and Zimbabwe exhibit government institutes as the top-mentioned tweeter.

This study examined the effect of interactive television-based visual art therapy and expressive arts therapy on the critical thinking skills of school children that survived abduction. A quasi-experiment was conducted among 470 school children in two secondary schools. The participants were divided into a control group ( N = 235) and experimental group ( N = 235). The experiment group was further divided into the art therapy group and the expressive art therapy group. We found that art therapy and expressive art therapy were effective in improving the critical thinking skills of the children who experienced kidnapping in Nigeria.
