Dwi Aulia Puspitaningrum — 2024-03-02

Food is a basic need of human life, so any problems around food are very complex. One of the things that have changed is the awareness of protein consumption, both animal and vegetable sources. Lifestyle changes also contribute to changing people's consumption behavior at various social levels. In addition, the role of women in family food management, especially decision-making in purchasing, serving, and consuming food is also influential. Economic limitations are a problem in fulfilling nutrition or diverse food consumption habits, families with stunted toddlers tend not to like diverse foods, especially vegetables and foods derived from protein. Stunting is usually also found in families whose protein consumption is relatively low, either animal protein (meat, eggs, milk, etc.) or vegetable protein (tofu, tempeh, etc.). Kulonprogo is a district in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta Special Region) that participates in efforts to prevent stunting. According to the 2019 Indonesian Toddler Nutrition Status Survey (ITNSS) data, the stunting rate in Yogyakarta Special Region was 21.0 percent and in 2021 it fell by 17.3 percent. Efforts need to be made to reduce this condition from year to year. This study seeks to approach the problem-solving of this condition. The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of women in managing protein food in households with stunting cases. The study was approached with the behavior of women in purchasing animal and vegetable protein foods in Kulonprogo. The result of the research showed that together the factors of household’s income, women's income, women's age, women's education, number of household members, number of children under five in the family, and information dummy had a significant effect on protein consumption by 52.4% and 47.6% influenced by other factors outside the model. Partially, the most influential factors in protein consumption are household’s income and women's income.

Taylor, Tamunosaki (PhD) — 2024-06-03

The ambushing of the Nigerian soldiers who were on peace keeping mission in Delta State stirred up varying social interpretations. Largely from the security desk to peace and conflict analysts, the debate however was not without a sublimation of facts. Through the medium of language, the study claims that the killing of the soldiers was wrongly accounted for. As Plato puts it, unless language is rightly applied, society most likely can be led astray. Arising from this the study would further argue that the exceeding state commemoration accorded to the soldiers, on the other hand, backgrounds at the communities who also lost their folks to the rumble. While the state never mentioned this side of the story, the researcher avows that this is a case of class externalization. The death of the soldiers, the paper concludes is indeed in connection with the demands and nature of their duty.

Kasarachi Hayford Innocent — 2024-06-03

This study was motivated by the perceived negative perception of people with mental health issues by residents of South-South Region of Nigeria, as well as seeming lack of awareness of mental health issues among the residents. Consequent upon the above, the study investigated how the residents perceive the mental health information communication strategies of the Rivers and Akwa Ibom States’ Ministries of Health, the institutions entrusted with mental health information diffusion in the region. The theoretical framework rested on the agenda, selective influences as well as social learning theories. Adopting survey design, the study sampled 384 respondents drawn from a population of 2,167,600, using purposive and convenience sampling methods. The findings reveal that the residents generally perceive the communication strategies of the States’ Ministries of Health as ineffective, as a result of the nature of the strategies which are infrequent, lack explanation and depth. Again, the strategies do not adopt trickle-down and society-specific models to reach the grassroots, resulting in low level awareness and negative perception of mental health issues among residents of the region. Against the background of the findings, the study recommended that the Ministries of Health in the South-South region should review their mental health information dissemination strategies in terms of regularity, clarity and use of society and community-specific communication channels.

Ojekudo, Beatrice Emamoke — 2024-06-03

Education is an important human capital investment that supports economic growth and development. Education is widely recognized as a fundamental driver of national development. Investments in education, from primary to tertiary levels, improve individuals' skills, knowledge, and productivity, resulting in increased economic production and productivity. This study emphasizes the various ways that education promotes economic growth. Educated people have higher employment and earning potential, which helps to minimize poverty and inequality in income. According to the report, education supports entrepreneurship, creativity, and technical improvement, all of which are necessary for long-term economic progress. Education also has an important role in the development of vital institutions, governance, and social welfare systems that are necessary for economic growth. It was argued that, while education alone cannot revolutionize an economy, it is an essential component of effective economic policies. Macroeconomic stability, infrastructure development, and openness to trade and investment all contribute to growth. Importantly, the extent to which growth lowers poverty is determined by the poor's ability to participate in and profit from the economic process, emphasizing the need of equitable educational access. The study concluded that investing in quality education at all levels is critical for generating long-term economic growth, especially in emerging countries. Policymakers must promote education as a major tool for decreasing poverty, enhancing social welfare, and promoting long-term prosperity
