Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRM) are prepared within a framework of the International Financial Institutions (IFI) requirement for implementation of development projects in the developing countries. However, the established GRM are not used by most of the Affected Persons (AP). This study explored development of GRM and find-out how they are used for the purpose of improvement. The study employed qualitative research approach of which qualitative data collection methods such as interviews, focus group discussion, public meetings and socio-economic surveys were applied. The SGR Electrification Project from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma with a total of 2932 AP was selected as a case study. The methods used for data collection involved the use of tablets installed with Open Data Kit (ODK) to cover all the APs. From ODK, these data were received from ODK Server in excel format, cleaned and exported to SPSS files for analysis. The findings show that 26% of the APs use the established GRM to lodge their grievances of which 94% of them did not receive feedback and there is no communication. Also, about 99% of the grievances are related with compensation. Thus, the AP found alternative ways by using procedural methods used in land acquisition and compensation for addressing of their complaints. Likewise, pastoralists used community and traditional methods for communication and addressing grievances. It is concluded that GRM prepared according to IFI requirements are not used as intended. It is therefore, recommended to improve the GRM by integrating procedural methods of settling disputes used in land acquisition and compensation, integrating community and traditional dispute settlement mechanisms, improved representation of AP in the GRC and reduction of time required for GRM process and feedback.

There may be many factors determining the moral dimensions used by individuals when making political decisions. Two important dimensions worthy of examination are political orientation and gender. Based on Moral Foundation Theory (Graham et al., 2009), the present study examined how both of the aforementioned factors influence the moral dimensions used in political decisions. Participants (n = 338) completed a demographic survey, rated their self-perceived political orientation and then completed the Moral Relevance Scale (Graham, Haidt, & Nosek, 2009) and the Ideological Consistency Scale (Pew Research Center, 2014), which was used to place participants in liberal, moderate or conservative political orientation groups. A MANOVA showed no differences in participants based on gender, but significant differences in decision-making based on political ideology. Discussion focused on how moderates differ in their views from other ideologies, a relatively new finding.
可能有许多因素决定了个人在做出政治决策时所使用的道德维度。值得审查的两个重要方面是政治倾向和性别。基于道德基础理论(Graham et al., 2009),本研究考察了上述两个因素如何影响政治决策中使用的道德维度。参与者(n = 338)完成了一项人口统计调查,对他们自我感知的政治取向进行了评分,然后完成了道德相关性量表(Graham, Haidt, & Nosek, 2009)和意识形态一致性量表(Pew研究中心,2014),该量表用于将参与者分为自由、温和或保守的政治取向组。方差分析显示,参与者在性别上没有差异,但在政治意识形态上的决策存在显著差异。讨论的重点是温和派的观点与其他意识形态的不同,这是一个相对较新的发现。

The world economy and society have devastated by the COVID-19, and the employment situation has become more urgent than ever in the aftermath of the epidemic. Effectively assisting college graduates in developing a realistic perspective on profession choice and overcoming the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is of utmost practical importance in this regard. In certain ways, the notion of career choice as it is embodied in the thesis is Marx’s own epistemological expression of the social reality. This is evident in Karl Marx’s “Reflectiones de un juvene sur le selection de un profession”, which profoundly reflects Marx’s wisdom and consideration about the issue of choice of occupation. This thesis employs a Marxist epistemological framework to sort out and explain the ideological underpinnings of Marx’s perspective on job choice and explore the philosophical enlightenment for the career choice of college students in the post-epidemic era.

The study aims to identify social alienation and its repercussions on the Palestinian social system: an analytical reading of the dimension of the Palestinian identity. This study is organized in three axes, in addition to the introduction, results and references. The first axis deals with the concept of identity—by examining the theoretical text of this concept—and reviews the state of conflict between the Palestinian self and the Israeli other in establishing identity in the Bedouin village of Al-Araqib. The second axis addresses the issue of identity in the Palestinian collective consciousness, and the third axis displays the relationship between memory and the collective consciousness in the Palestinian social system.
