There has been conflict in the fishing industry world over. Fisheries conflicts are among the persistent problems affecting the security of food, livelihoods and fishing environments crucial to poor fishing communities in developing countries. In Kenya, the same has been a major problem and it has taken government‟s efforts to curb. One of the strategies introduced more so in Homa Bay County is the Co-Management Strategy in which all stakeholders are involved. Although this co-management strategy has been suggested as a solution to the problem of fisheries use, conflicts still persist. The study examined the effectiveness of co-management strategy in mitigating fisheries conflicts in Homa Bay County. It was guided by a specific objective: to find out Community Perception on the Co-Management Strategy in mitigating fisheries conflicts in Homa Bay County. The common property theory which assumes that individual interest will not prevail over the best interest of the community as a whole and Marx‟s Conflict Theory which assumes that Conflict theory states that tensions and conflicts arise when resources, status, and power are unevenly distributed between groups in society and that these conflicts become the engine for social change were used in the study. This study was guided by a conceptual framework of common property. The framework was based on the driver-problem-issue- intervention analysis that put into context the dynamics of variables that addressed the objectives of the study. The research design used was descriptive in nature. The population of the study was 18, 300 registered members of BMUs. Multi stage sampling was used to identify two beaches in each of the five divisions namely: Mfangano, Mbita, Lambwe, Central and Gwassi. Homa Bay County was selected because it has the largest share of L. Victoria and highest number of BMUs in the country. The pilot study established that averagely there were about 100 registered members in each BMU. 40% of BMUs from each of the five divisions were sampled, resulting to 39 BMUs. From each BMU sampled, 10 registered members were randomly sampled yielding a sample of 390. The respondents were also clustered as Fishermen; Boat Owners; Fish Traders and Owners of fishing gears and government officers. Data was collected using structured questionnaires, interview schedules, observation and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Descriptive statistics was generated to build a picture of the respondents‟ characteristics utilizing SPSS tool. Inferential Statistics was also employed through regression models and ANOVA. The study found out that Co-Management Strategy mitigates fisheries conflict. The study also found that the community perception of co-management strategy was positive. Lastly, study also found that challenges faced by Co-Management strategy were an impediment in the mitigation of fisheries conflict. The findings of this study support and add knowledge to previous studies on fisheries conflicts. It is envisaged that the study will contribute to the field of conflict management within the broader context of co-management strategy in the fisheries sector, thus leading to harmonious coexistence at the beaches, sustainable utilization of fisheries resources and improved livelihood of the people. The study suggests more stakeholders should be involved in the policy formulation and that there should be more seminars and training of stakeholders. Studies also suggest further research targeting cultural issues and cross border fishing that is causing fisheries conflicts.

Slope failure is becoming one of the world's environmental issues, including in Malaysia, that may affect the community and change the earth's surface. The decreased amount or the removal of forest vegetation species, especially on hillside areas because of hillside clearing, cutting, and fill processes, affect the slope stability. Many options exist to treat slope failure, including biological or landscape vegetation measures, which may offer the best option to cater to this problem for long-term benefit. Thus, this research aims to investigate the role of landscape vegetation in treating slope failure. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey, non-participant observation, and semi-structured interviews are performed to gain insights. The findings suggest vegetation plays a vital role in treating the slope, supported by the findings of the suitable characteristics of vegetation being able to protect against slope failure. As potential slope vegetation, the vegetation can protect the slope by absorbing moisture, strengthening the soil structure, and preventing surface water runoff through its mechanical and hydrological characteristics. Large canopy, deep root system, and fast-growing and native vegetation characteristics are needed for ecological treatment to sustain the long-term solution.

The notion of identities in motion, proposed in the title of the thesis, is understood as a kind of investigation of the construction mechanisms of social narratives explored by Angela Carter in her novels and the process through which gender relations are built in them, as well as the author's critical stance on the way in which such relationships are articulated by the dominant ideology. The goal is to highlight her ability to expose aspects of society capable of challenging the relationship between sex and power, which almost always leads to a reflection on men and women's roles. In this sense, the characters in Angela Carter's two novels Heroes and Villains and The Passion of New Eve constantly question and reframe female identity and gender relations. We'll also talk about how her novels deal with female representation and gender relations, putting them in the setting of female literature. We'll look at how female demonstration and gender relations are handled in the novels she's chosen.
Keywords: Gender, Female identity, Angela Carter, Heroes and Villains and The Passion of New Eve.

In Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf creates a vivid portrait of a world in which social hierarchies disintegrate, conventional standards are challenged, and satire has a significant impact. The story erases social boundaries and places a priority on critical thinking while enveloping readers in a joyful and jubilant atmos-phere evocative of carnival. Woolf uses satire and parody as tools to examine societal conventions, topple hie-rarchies, and provide readers a critical viewpoint by questioning them, welcoming change, and challenging the current social order. This activity invites readers to consider and assess the current social structure. Through its depiction of a chaotic village pageant, the transforming potential inherent in the carnivalesque setting, and the purposeful use of satire and parody as carnivalesque methods, the work successfully depicts these dynamics. These components work together to encourage readers to question and carefully examine the tenets of the exist-ing social structure and to assist social critique.

The reality of the existence of chasms separating various thoughts, which is caused among others by religions, nowadays, is increasing severely, even though essentially (intrinsically) the teachings of religions actually refer to the same meaning of spirituality. Why is this happening more and more and how should the teachings be disseminated? This study takes the example of the interpretation of the Book of Amos 9:11-15 which is an example of prophetic verses ("miracle") which in the process of divinity (spirituality) can be interpreted as duality (reciprocal synergy) between "destiny" and "free will". There are two principles that must be synergized, namely the understanding of monism depending on the Absolute Essence (Hyang Divine) and the placement of the natural law "Sow Reap" as a teaching of life. These two factors must be managed to synergize to realize Divine promises within the framework of the duality of destiny and free will. In the Book of Amos 9:11-15 it also clearly contains the aspect of pluralism where all nations in the world belong to the Divine, the consequence of which is the meaning of the universality of teachings. If the intended meaning of the teachings is applied correctly, the promise of victory and peace will come true for anyone regardless of label/identity. Such an interpretation of spiritual universality should be an option to realize the essence of the teachings of religions.

This study was done in order to examine the accessibility and sufficiency of supplied condoms together with their use among university students in Iringa, Tanzania. Survey research design and quantitative research approach were employed in order to let questionnaires effect data collection within a sample size of 164 university students, which was recruited through stratified sampling technique. The results have evidently stipulated that, there is insufficient supply and less effective use of condoms among university students when compared to the need and risky occasions that they are exposed to. That might be due to the fact that their universities show less concern in providing free condoms; while on the other side it might be due to the fact that, students value their sexual feelings and emotions without considering their vulnerability. Also it might be due to failure of getting enough packets that would satisfy their use, especially when trying to access condom boxes/dispensers. For such cases, the study recommends that the government should set and enforce policies regarding condom supply and use, so that universities through their respective students’ organizations/governments may ensure condom boxes are procured and adequately supplied during semester sessions; while students being provided with safe sex education, so that they may either effectively use condoms or not do sex with their lovers without regular HIV retests.

The rise in the manufacture and usage of Information Communication Technology (ICT) has brought quantities of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). This results into transboundary movement of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) popularly known as Electronic waste (e-waste) to developing countries such as Nigeria. E-Waste is dangerous to public health and the environment. The increase in e-waste in Nigeria has not corresponded to growth in the processes related to collection, re-use, recovery, and recycling of EEE. Proper e-waste collection and recycling are important to recovering valuable materials from e-waste and protects human health and the environment. The existence of healthy environment is a necessary condition for the well-being of everyone. Hence, the significance of the concept of right to a healthy environment. The institutional policy and legal framework in place in Nigeria for this is inadequate. The study discussed the law and the right to a heathy environment in Nigeria in relation to the management of e-waste It adopted doctrinal methodology and used primary, secondary, and documentary materials to examine the effect of crude management of e-waste on the right of Nigerians to a heathy and the sustainability of the Nigerian environment. The study found that no single e-waste management option will be satisfactory as the optimum e-waste management strategy in Nigeria; but the use of mix e-waste management approaches that include the enactment of a holistic e-waste legislation to promote and protect the right of citizens to live in a heathy environment. The study found that the adoption of a circular economy concerning sustainable e-waste management is an environmental and public health imperative. It recommended institutional policy reform of advocacy interventions and legal reforms that provides for Design for Environment (DfE) to protect the right to a healthy environment in Nigeria.

Drawing largely from Tobin Siebers‟ Disability Aesthetics (2012) which is “a first attempt to theorize the representation of disability in modern art and visual culture,”this paper attempts to question some of the stereotypical representations of Africa in western literary texts. Using Clarice Lispector‟s short story, The Smallest Woman in the World and Joseph Conrad‟s Heart of Darkness, in which both texts presented unimaginable accounts of Africa, I argue that the negative representations of the Africans and the African continent is an ideological plot to constantly dehumanize the continent and its people, while projecting the West as the onlyideal place and people.
