The literature on news framing largely focuses on political news. When Ghana experienced what came to be known as the “banking crisis” in 2017/2018, there was wide media coverage of the issues that came in its wake and that provided an avenue for studies on the framing of a financial phenomenon. This paper examines the online media framing of this crisis through the quantitative content analysis of 97 news articles from two online news portals: Myjoyonline and Graphiconline, which are private, and state owned. The comparative analysis of these two websites showed the predominance of the attribution of responsibility and conflict frames in their reportage, reflecting the infant stage of digital financial journalism in Ghana. Notwithstanding, the study revealed differences in how the websites used the news frames in some significant respects.
关于新闻框架的文献主要关注政治新闻。当加纳在2017/2018年经历了后来被称为“银行业危机”时,媒体对随之而来的问题进行了广泛报道,这为研究金融现象的框架提供了途径。本文通过对两家在线新闻门户网站Myjoyinline和Graphiconline的97篇新闻文章的定量内容分析,考察了这场危机的网络媒体框架。对这两个网站的比较分析表明,责任归属和冲突框架在其报道中占主导地位,反映了加纳数字金融新闻的萌芽阶段。尽管如此,该研究揭示了网站在一些重要方面使用新闻框架的方式存在差异。

The much we know about the mental health of internally displaced persons (IDPs) today comes from studies conducted with IDPs who stay in displacement camps. Little is known about IDPs’ mental health and experiences living outside the camps. This qualitative study explored the lived experiences of IDPs living outside displacement camps in Nigeria. Participants were eight IDPs ( Mage = 36, SD = 1.6) selected from villages in Benue, Nigeria. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and studied using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Overarching themes from the data analysis suggested regret, worry, anxiety, prolonged grief, suicidal ideation, depression, and cumulative trauma. Collectively, these themes indicate the possible presence or emergence of psychopathologies. The findings from the study point to the urgent and compelling need for targeted mental health services for not just IDPs within displacement camps but also those who stay outside the displacement camps.
今天,我们对国内流离失所者心理健康的了解大多来自对留在流离失所者营地的国内流离失所者进行的研究。人们对国内流离失所者的心理健康和在难民营外生活的经历知之甚少。这项定性研究探讨了在尼日利亚流离失所者营地外生活的国内流离失所者的生活经历。参与者是从尼日利亚Benue的村庄中选出的8名国内流离失所者(Mage = 36, SD = 1.6)。通过半结构化访谈收集数据,并使用解释学现象学方法进行研究。数据分析的主要主题包括后悔、担心、焦虑、长期悲伤、自杀意念、抑郁和累积性创伤。总的来说,这些主题表明精神病理学可能存在或出现。研究结果表明,不仅流离失所营地内的国内流离失所者,而且流离失所营地外的流离失所者都迫切需要有针对性的心理健康服务。

Against the widespread non-adherence with statutory requirements for open space provision in virtually every segment of cities, especially in residential areas, this study examined compliance with open space standards in three distinct residential zones (core, transition and sub-urban) of Oyo, a traditional city in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted with two stakeholders: self-built house owners (SHOs) and town planning officials (TPOs). Systematic and convenience sampling techniques were used to select participants from the groups, respectively. Direct measurements of open spaces within lots were carried out to determine if they met the required standards. Information obtained from the SHOs included their socio-economic characteristics, level of awareness, perceived importance, compliance with standards and factors influencing compliance. The TPOs also provided information on standards (plot coverage and setback requirements), mechanisms and tactics for regulating open space provision. The study showed low awareness of the open space requirements among homeowners in the three residential zones. The compliance level in the core area was the lowest because the area was largely built prior to the introduction of planning regulations and coupled with the residents’ low status. On the contrary, despite the low awareness, the sub-urban area had the highest level of compliance because the homeowners in this area have a higher socio-economic status and personal preferences for ample open space in their compounds. These outcomes support the underlying concepts and propositions advocated by historic and structural theories of urban form. The study, therefore, recommends modifying the existing open space standards to align with the city’s historical development and local conditions in various residential areas to encourage compliance.
针对城市几乎每个部分(尤其是住宅区)普遍不遵守开放空间规定的法定要求,本研究调查了尼日利亚传统城市Oyo三个不同住宅区(核心、过渡和郊区)对开放空间标准的遵守情况。本文对两个利益相关者进行了横断面研究:自建屋业主(SHOs)和城市规划官员(TPOs)。采用系统抽样和方便抽样技术分别从两组中选择参与者。直接测量地段内的休憩用地,以确定其是否符合规定的标准。从这些组织获得的信息包括其社会经济特征、认识程度、认识到的重要性、对标准的遵守情况和影响遵守情况的因素。tpo还提供了关于标准(地块覆盖范围和后退要求)、机制和策略的资料,以规范开放空间的提供。研究表明,三个居住区的业主对开放空间的需求认识较低。核心区的合规水平最低,因为该地区大部分是在规划法规出台之前建成的,加上居民的地位较低。相反,尽管人们的认知度较低,但城郊地区的遵守程度最高,因为该地区的房主具有较高的社会经济地位和个人偏好,他们的小区有充足的开放空间。这些结果支持了城市形态的历史和结构理论所倡导的基本概念和命题。因此,该研究建议修订现有的休憩用地标准,以配合城市的历史发展和各住宅区的本地情况,鼓励市民遵守标准。

The importance of land access for migrants as a key integrating factor has gained attention in academia and research. It is also obvious that land policy and governance frameworks are crucial for determining land access for migrants. However, little is known about the extent of policy and governance frameworks in addressing migrants’ access to land in Africa. Moreover, the existing body of research on examining the nexus between land and migration governance is limited. Finally, the review shows that land and migration are largely treated unconnectedly in Africa and has failed to address land access to migrants.
移民获得土地作为一个关键的融合因素的重要性已引起学术界和研究界的关注。同样显而易见的是,土地政策和治理框架对于确定移民获得土地的机会至关重要。然而,人们对解决非洲移民获得土地问题的政策和治理框架的程度知之甚少。此外,关于审查土地与移民治理之间关系的现有研究机构是有限的。最后,审查表明,在非洲,土地和移民在很大程度上没有得到一致对待,也没有解决移民获得土地的问题。

Fake news is widely shared on social media platforms, and while the literature is expanding, study into the motivations behind such sharing has not yet provided many answers. Drawing from the cognitive load theory and literature on resilience, we developed and tested a research model hypothesising why people share fake news. We also tested the moderating role of social media resilience. We obtained data from 1068 social media users in Nigeria using a chain referral technique with an online questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. Our findings suggest that information overload and information strain strongly predict fake news sharing. Social overload and irrelevant information also contributed to fake news sharing behaviour. Furthermore, resilience moderated and weakened the effect of information strain, information overload, irrelevant information, and social overload on fake news sharing in such a way that this effect is more pronounced among those with low resilience. This indicates that those with low resilience tend to share fake news when confronted with much information on social media. The study concluded with some theoretical and practical implications.
假新闻在社交媒体平台上被广泛分享,尽管文献在不断扩大,但对这种分享背后动机的研究还没有提供很多答案。根据认知负荷理论和关于韧性的文献,我们开发并测试了一个研究模型,假设人们为什么分享假新闻。我们还测试了社交媒体弹性的调节作用。我们使用链推荐技术从尼日利亚1068名社交媒体用户那里获得了数据,并将在线问卷作为数据收集工具。我们的研究结果表明,信息过载和信息紧张对假新闻分享有很强的预测作用。社交超负荷和无关信息也助长了假新闻分享行为。此外,韧性调节并削弱了信息紧张、信息过载、无关信息和社会过载对假新闻分享的影响,这种影响在韧性低的人群中更为明显。这表明,当在社交媒体上遇到大量信息时,那些韧性低的人往往会分享假新闻。研究结论具有一定的理论和实践意义。

This study examines the role of personalities in Nigeria’s contributions to PKOs in Africa and beyond. The paper argued that the successes achieved by Nigeria in PKOs would not have been possible without such personalities at the helm of affairs. The study established that the actions of characters involved in PKOs have both positive and negative consequences. The accumulation of experiences through its PKOs has helped develop the country’s security and economy and built sufficient institutions. In contrast, the country’s PKO policies had, at the same time, strengthened and enabled institutionalise corruption and indiscipline within the military and the general society at large, with mediocracy being the order of the day and compromises in almost all government businesses. The study recommends strengthening institutions – such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defence and other relevant agencies rather than individuals.
这项研究考察了尼日利亚对非洲及其他地区PKO的贡献中的人物角色。该论文认为,如果没有这些人的掌舵,尼日利亚在库尔德工人党中取得的成功是不可能的。该研究证实,参与PKO的角色的行为既有积极的后果,也有消极的后果。通过库尔德工人党积累的经验有助于发展该国的安全和经济,并建立了足够的机构。相比之下,该国的库尔德工人党政策同时加强了军队和整个社会内部的腐败和无纪律行为,并使其制度化,平庸是大势所趋,几乎所有政府事务都有所妥协。该研究建议加强机构,如外交部、国防部和其他相关机构,而不是个人。

The paper analyses the trends, patterns and performance of Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) in India. The paper aims at understanding what determines the success of FPCs and also explore whether the current policy focus on a targeted development of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) a good idea. The study tries to identify the critical common factors of successful FPC ventures. The study also analyses the issues, challenges and bottlenecks faced by selected FPCs and attempts to understand the best practices, the interventions and alternatives of the selected FPCs. The paper would help in understanding the existing and expected institutional arrangements for and around FPCs in order to make the business ventures robust. We used data provided by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and Small Farmers’ Agri-Business Consortium (SFAC) to explore the trends and patterns. A cross-case analysis was done to assess the performance and to draw inferences on critical common factors for success. The study shows that FPCs are emerging among other legal forms of FPOs. They are prominent in few states, which have enabling environment, enterprising farmers and have a history of collective action. The study shows heterogeneity in the product, functioning, how they work, deal with the issues and mechanisms of FPCs. The paper proposes establishing ‘incubators’ to handhold and support FPCs and different modes and categories for financing them. The macro- and micro-level understanding of FPCs drawn on the country-level data and the specific cases would add to the existing knowledge around FPCs in India. The contextual analysis of FPCs is of interest to global researchers and agri-development professionals, to identify the sectoral challenges, bottlenecks and the issues, which FPCs experience as business ventures. The paper creates possibilities for policy makers to design effective policy responses and strategies to strengthen FPCs in India and also benefit the global south by suggesting the learning from the model.
本文分析了印度农民生产公司的发展趋势、模式和绩效。本文旨在了解是什么决定了fpc的成功,并探讨当前的政策重点是有针对性地发展1万个农民生产者组织(FPOs)是否是一个好主意。本研究试图找出FPC企业成功的关键共同因素。本研究还分析了所选fpc面临的问题、挑战和瓶颈,并试图了解所选fpc的最佳做法、干预措施和替代方案。该文件将有助于了解fpc的现有和预期的制度安排,以便使商业企业蓬勃发展。我们使用国家农业和农村发展银行(NABARD)和小农户农业企业联合会(SFAC)提供的数据来探索趋势和模式。进行了跨案例分析,以评估绩效并得出成功的关键共同因素的推论。研究表明,fpc正在其他合法形式的FPOs中兴起。他们在少数几个州很突出,这些州有有利的环境、有进取心的农民和集体行动的历史。研究显示了fpc在产品、功能、工作方式、处理问题和机制等方面的异质性。本文建议建立“孵化器”来抓住和支持fpc以及不同的融资模式和类别。根据国家层面的数据和具体案例对fpc的宏观和微观层面的理解将增加对印度fpc的现有知识。全球研究人员和农业发展专业人员对fpc的背景分析感兴趣,以确定fpc作为商业企业所面临的部门挑战、瓶颈和问题。本文为政策制定者设计有效的政策反应和战略创造了可能性,以加强印度的FPCs,并通过建议从该模型中学习而使全球南方受益。

The study shows heterogeneity in the product, functioning, how they work, deal with the issues and mechanisms of FPCs. The paper proposes establishing ‘incubators’ to handhold and support FPCs and different modes and categories for financing them. The macro- and micro-level understanding of FPCs drawn on the country-level data and the specific cases would add to the existing knowledge around FPCs in India. The contextual analysis of FPCs is of interest to global researchers and agri-development professionals, to identify the sectoral challenges, bottlenecks and the issues, which FPCs experience as business ventures. The paper creates possibilities for policy makers to design effective policy responses and strategies to strengthen FPCs in India and also benefit the global south by suggesting the learning from the model.","PeriodicalId":46881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian and African Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41678797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper highlights the security challenges that the Rohingya crisis poses to the host nation Bangladesh. As a humanitarian gesture, the Bangladesh government allowed Rohingya minority people in the south-eastern part of its land. Unfortunately, these large numbers of displaced people misuse the blessing and engage in various terrorist activities, fraudulence, smuggling, including drugs, arms, human trafficking, and so on. Based on secondary sources and interviewing Law Enforcement officials of Ukhia, Cox’s Bazar, the paper aims to identify and analyze the notions of diversified intimidation in Bangladesh. Since the Rohingya camps are close to Bangladesh, Myanmar, and India’s border areas, the uncertainty produced by the crisis is also becoming a vital threat to regional stability. It generates ambiguity regarding the extent to which the victims are responsible for scaring the nation that has sheltered them. Unfortunately, the local populations became xenophobic due to the refugees’ uncertain repatriation. It is crucial to relocate the Rohingya refugees rationally and diplomatically within a short time to assure Bangladesh’s safety and security as a host country. Meanwhile, the Government of Bangladesh should improve surveillance in the camps. Besides, the enormous number of refugees should be engaged in some productive work to keep them aside from participating in criminal activities.
本文强调了罗兴亚危机给东道国孟加拉国带来的安全挑战。作为一种人道主义姿态,孟加拉国政府允许罗兴亚少数民族进入其东南部地区。不幸的是,这些大量流离失所者滥用祝福,从事各种恐怖活动、欺诈、走私,包括毒品、武器、人口贩运等。由于罗兴亚难民营靠近孟加拉国、缅甸和印度边境地区,危机产生的不确定性也成为对地区稳定的重大威胁。这导致了受害者对恐吓庇护他们的国家负有多大责任的模糊性。不幸的是,由于难民遣返不确定,当地居民变得排外。至关重要的是,要在短时间内通过理性和外交手段重新安置罗兴亚难民,以确保孟加拉国作为东道国的安全保障。与此同时,孟加拉国政府应加强对难民营的监视。此外,大量难民应该从事一些富有成效的工作,使他们不参与犯罪活动。
