This study identified the problem of landslide disasters that often occur in Sukorejo Village, Gunungpati District, Semarang City. Sukorejo village belongs to the high ground movement zone which has a high degree of vulnerability to soil movement. The purpose of the study was to determine efforts to increase the capacity of the community in facing landslide disasters through the preparation of evacuation standard operating procedures (SOPs). The data collection of this study used interview, observation, documentation, and geographic information systems (GIS) methods. Data analysis is carried out with the approach of spatial analysis and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the preparation of evacuation SOPs is very important to increase the capacity of the community during landslide emergency response. The recommendations given are the need to add an Early Warning System (EWS) tool, install evacuation route signs, and gathering points in landslide-prone areas. In addition, the community also needs to increase awareness and preparedness in the face of possible landslides. This research contributes to improving understanding of landslide disaster mitigation efforts and can be followed up by assessing community capacity and evaluating future evacuation SOPs.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between loneliness and depression among college students in Vietnam. The study sample consisted of 523 students from the Economics/Business and Engineering disciplines, who participated in the survey by responding to questionnaires based on the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS - 21) indicators. The findings of this study indicate that while social loneliness meets the validation standards, emotional loneliness is incongruent with the context and study participants in Vietnam. The final results reveal a positive correlation between loneliness and depression (r = 0.42, P-value < 0.005). Subsequently, the research team provides recommendations that college students should actively participate in social and recreational activities, maintain relationships with friends and family to alleviate social loneliness, thereby minimizing the likelihood of developing depression. Social organizations should strive to create a friendly, open environment that fosters a sense of connection and belonging for everyone.

The female population in Japanese language education in Sri Lanka is remarkably high compared to male population. Not only learners, but the number of female teachers also outsmart the male teachers. However, this kind of gender distribution is not something specific to Japanese language education. Research has highlighted that in many parts of the world male has less interest in learning languages than female. Some studies prove that boys think that learning foreign languages would not lead them to lucrative careers and some believe that language learning is not something 'real boys' do or are good at. Nonetheless, when considering the number of Sri Lankans who apply for visa to enter Japan, male population is significantly higher than females. In recent years specialists in Information Technology have more tendency to get job placements in Japan. Further, in 2019 Japan has opened its doors to Sri Lanka for a visa category called Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) which offers 4 employment fields from Sri Lanka. To apply for SSW visa, one should clear a language competency test and skill test of the relevant field. Does the increase in employment opportunities in Japan has any impact on the attitudes of language learning among male population? Thus, this paper explores current situation of the Japanese Language education in Sri Lanka focusing on gender distribution. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in gathering and analysing data. The findings show that though there is a growth of male population among learners the attitudes towards learning Japanese are not changing as fast as the rapidly growing enthusiasm to work in Japan. Though there are new opportunities in Japan, if language competency is not recognized as a soft skill that goes beyond gender stereotype, we will fail to gain the best from the available paths. Further, changes towards inclusiveness in the curriculum as well as inclusiveness in the recruiters are given as recommendations to improve the current situation.

With an emphasis on the difficulties and opportunities the AU faces, this paper explores the role of the African Union (AU) in resolving conflicts in Africa. Using secondary data sources from scholarly publications, studies, and official AU papers, the research takes a qualitative approach. The research investigates the efficacy of the AU's projects and the challenges faced in resolving conflicts by examining the organization's efforts in conflict prevention, mediation, peacekeeping, and peace-building. The findings clarified the constraints caused by political meddling, a lack of political will, finance, and resources, the complexity of African conflicts, and regional and global dynamics on the continent. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the research emphasizes how the AU may support conflict resolution by utilizing its mediation procedures, early warning systems, and alliances with domestic and foreign organizations. The study emphasizes the need of ongoing efforts to discourse the root causes of African conflicts and improve the AU's capacity for resolving disputes.

Summary As my country’s top-level cooperation initiative, the “Belt and Road Initiative” covers the Eurasian continent. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that in promoting the construction of the "Belt and Road", strengthening "people-to-people connectivity" is the key and foundation, and culture is the soul and life that promotes "people-to-people connectivity". Only through external cultural communication can the "Belt and Road" be better enhanced The appeal and influence of the initiative in countries along the route. It can be said that cultural exchanges serve as bridges and ties in connecting people. The implementation of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative not only accelerates the process of Chinese culture “going out”, but also expands the influence of Chinese culture through exchanges and mutual learning. force. Chinese martial arts, as a traditional Chinese physical culture that “integrates human beings, intellectual nature, truth and goodness, and both internal and external”, accurately disseminating Chinese martial arts not only promotes the effective implementation of the people-to-people bonds policy in the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, but also enables Chinese martial arts to carry “ The Belt and Road Initiative "tells Chinese stories well", "spreads the voice of China well" and interprets China's excellent culture to people around the world. It can also continuously optimize and reconstruct "credible, respectable and lovable" in the international dissemination of Chinese martial arts. image of China. This study uses literature, historical research, case analysis, text analysis and other research methods to first divide the stages of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, and secondly to sort out the context of the international spread of Chinese martial arts and find out the reasons for the international spread of Chinese martial arts.

This study explores the impact of unlawful digital interventions on the Rohingya community in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Rohingya refugees, who have faced severe persecution in Myanmar, found themselves in refugee camps in Bangladesh, where they initially had limited access to technology and the internet due to legal restrictions. However, by using the Ethnoscape and Mediascape of globalization theory devised by Arjun Appadurai, the study aims to understand the unlawful digital interventions in the camps during the Covid-19 pandemic. This unauthorized access to digital platforms played a crucial role in raising awareness among the Rohingya population during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study conducted in three Rohingya camps employed qualitative methods, including focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and observations, to understand the significance of unauthorized digital platform usage, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adolescent males and females with smartphones acquired knowledge about COVID-19 through social media platforms like Facebook, Imo, WhatsApp, and YouTube, leading to intergenerational debates within the community, as the elderly relied more on television broadcasts. The study highlighted the critical role of social media in shaping the community's knowledge and perceptions of the pandemic and to take precautionary measures, though they encountered misleading content. While digital platforms facilitated information sharing and financial transactions, gendered restrictions on smartphone usage were evident, reflecting patriarchal control over young girls' mobile phone access.

Tourism, especially recreational activities, continues to be a major sector contributing to the country's foreign currency and national income. This study aimed at assessing the participation of both students and non-student youth in outdoor recreational activities so as to add knowledge by assessing students' and non-student youth’s awareness of the benefits of outdoor recreational activities, attitudes towards participating in outdoor recreational activities, and levels of satisfaction from participating in outdoor recreational activities among them. The study used a cross-sectional design, and purposive sampling was employed to include 120 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires comprised of both closed and open-ended questions and data were analyzed using SPSS computer software together with an independent T–test to compare means of variables but descriptive data were analyzed and presented in frequencies and percentages. The results show that 55.7% of respondents were aware of the benefits of outdoor recreational activities that help in healthy and physical gains. The Majority of respondents about 44% responded that their attitude in participating in outdoor recreational activities is due to having fun with friends and family. Also, results found that there were no significant differences between male and female satisfaction in participating in outdoor recreation activities at (t88 = 1.329, P = 0.187). Finally, this study recommends that responsible actors and policymakers should do the promotion of outdoor recreation activities by raising awareness of the benefits of participating in various recreational activities.

Child abuse is a serious and devastating global problem. In Tanzania this problem exists in a variety of forms and is deeply rooted in cultural, educational and social practices, often mixed with, and difficult to distinguish from normal measures of correcting and disciplining children. This study is undertaken to describe the patterns of child abuse (physical, emotional and sexual) as experienced by university students in Tanzania in their childhood. The study also aims at obtaining deeper understanding of the different types of perpetrators who interacted with, and inflicted abuse to children in the family and community at large. Data comes from a representative sample drawn from university students (n=470) in one university in Tanzania in March 2019. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. The results show multiple experiences of physical, emotional and sexual child abuse for both male and female students. The findings also indicate that family members, teachers, peers, and motor-cycle drivers were involved in the abuse of children consistent with similar studies which categorize such groups of people as perpetrators of child abuse (Moore et al, 2007; UNICEF Tanzania, 2011; Kisanga, 2012; McCrann, 2017) The study recommends that behaviors of child abuse be given due attention to ensure proper care, normal development and guarantee protection of children. The study also highlights the significance of engaging university students on intervention programs to counteract the negative effects of child abuse during adulthood.
虐待儿童是一个严重的破坏性全球问题。在坦桑尼亚，这一问题以各种形式存在，并深深植根于文化、教育和社会习俗之中，往往与纠正和管教儿童的正常措施混杂在一起，难以区分。本研究旨在描述坦桑尼亚大学生童年时期所经历的虐待儿童（身体虐待、情感虐待和性虐待）的模式。研究还旨在深入了解在家庭和社区中与儿童互动并对儿童实施虐待的不同类型的施虐者。数据来自 2019 年 3 月在坦桑尼亚一所大学抽取的具有代表性的大学生样本（n=470）。采用结构化问卷收集数据。结果显示，男女学生都有遭受身体、情感和性虐待的多重经历。研究结果还表明，家庭成员、教师、同伴和摩托车司机都参与了虐待儿童的行为，这与将此类人群归类为虐待儿童实施者的类似研究结果一致（Moore et al，2007；联合国儿童基金会驻坦桑尼亚办事处，2011；Kisanga，2012；McCrann，2017）。研究还强调了让大学生参与干预计划的重要性，以消除虐待儿童行为在成年后造成的负面影响。

In Tanzania this problem exists in a variety of forms and is deeply rooted in cultural, educational and social practices, often mixed with, and difficult to distinguish from normal measures of correcting and disciplining children.
