Scholarship is inextricably linked to education and development, yet often, when most needed, it is a resource difficult to come by and often the voices of women scholars are under-represented. This chapter reflects on resources available to support scholarship and how a gendered approach to these resources can foster the development of informed policymakers and female scholars and through this, the growth and development of scholarship itself.

The Impact

Children in this millennial era cannot be separated from the use of smartphones, of course, without parental supervision, it will have an impact on the development of children's mental and psychological conditions. Excessive use of gadgets causes children to do little or even no physical activity at all, such as playing with their friends. Whereas physical activity in children affects the growth and development of children. Therefore, at the Bhayangkara University Surabaya Real Work Lecture, group 062 students took the initiative to make a playground in Tebel Village, Gedangan District, Sidoarjo Regency on 22 May - 6 June 2021. The children and residents around the play area were very happy and excited to come and take advantage of these facilities. It is expected that children are more active and can socialize with their peers.

Artistic Director

Among established American composers, Jacob Druckman's music remains unique in the breadth of its range, the mastery of its orchestration and the totality of its expressive power. There is little point in spending too much effort in drawing comparisons with some of his closest contemporaries and, in any event, such comparisons are hard to come by. He has had a remarkable career: as an academic, as composer-in-residence to the New York Philharmonic, as a conductor (he has conducted a number of his works with the BBC Philharmonic), as artistic director of many festivals, and as lecturer and administrator. He now devotes as much times as he can to composing, but whatever the future brings, there can be little doubt that he has already made a major contribution to the growth and development of 20th-century music.

The present level of unemployment in the nation is worrisome, to say the least. Graduates of tertiary institutions are roaming the streets in search of never - to- come jobs. There can be no real economic empowerment in any developing economy until certain fundamental issues have been put right. The growth and development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’S) present a way out of this doldrums. Aggressive efforts are needed to bring about the sustenance and survival of these SME'S paramount of which is a peaceful environment. This paper highlighted the significance of SME subsector in developing economies, challenges and prospects of SMEs in Nigeria as a developing economy in order to enhance economic empowerment by sustaining the growth and development of SME'S with a view to reducing unemployment and decisively address security challenges that has been a source of serious concern to potential foreign and indigenous investors alike, thereby setting in motion an unprecedented growth and development in this all-important sub-sector.

This study examined knowledge advancement and application in e-business for SMEs in Nigeria. To achieve these laudable objectives two hypotheses were formulated to establish whether or not there is a relationship existing between the two intervening variables i.e. knowledge advancement and application in e-business and the growth and development for SMEs in Nigeria in general and Delta state in particular. Survey research design was adopted, while data were obtained from structured questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment coefficient of correlation. From the analysis, the results indicated that there is an existing relationship between the variables. Based on the findings it was concluded that for SMEs to stand the test of time, the need to continue to seek for new ways of doing business and innovation becomes imperative. Among others, the study recommended that SMEs should embark on intensive training, skill acquisition and development exercise to keep pace with the new order.

Age 0-24 months is a period of rapid growth and development, so often termed as a golden period as well as a critical period. Gold period can be realized if at this time the baby and children get the appropriate nutritional intake for optimal growth and development. To achieve optimal growth, within the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, WHO / UNICEF recommends providing complementary feeding (AI) foods from infants 6 months to 24 months. The recommendation emphasizes that socio-cultural MP-ASI should be made from cheap and easy-to-obtain food in the local area (indigenous food). Given the importance of socio-cultural aspects and aspects of community empowerment in the provision of MP-ASI, training will be held that is the training of local MP-ASI production or also called "MP-ASI of mother's kitchen". Training is expected to increase cadre activity and community participation to come to Posyandu. This is very important in the effort to encourage Posyandu activities, because MP-ASI can be used as a "entry point" for Posyandu revitalization. Therefore, the provision of local MP-ASI should involve posyandu and PKK desa / kelurahan in this case posyandu mugi lestari Miri sub-district Sragen regency Central Java Province.

The purpose of this article is to analyze Africa’s progress along the developmental path in the past few decades, to understand what factors were responsible for such success and to identify the risk factors that may compromise further development in the region in the years to come. We advance three basic claims: that Africa has experienced an almost unprecedented (by its standards) level of economic success in the first 15 years of the new millennium, that this success was made possible by a combination of domestic and supranational conditions, and that some of the enabling conditions that supported Africa’s growth and development in the new millennium may be disappearing. The study also suggests that while African countries may not be able to influence the global conditions on which their economic success depends, they do have the ability to influence the domestic conditions. This is why, we suggest, in addition to ensuring longer and healthier lives for their citizens, African countries should consolidate democracy and promote good governance.

Cycle Regulation

BRCA1 is a complex gene implicated in familial breast and ovarian cancer. Although it is almost certainly a tumour suppressor, it is also essential for the normal growth and development of embryonic cells. BRCA1 is probably involved in DNA damage and repair, in cell cycle regulation, and in differentiation of celis. It remains to be established whether all these functions are subserved by single mechanism or pathway. Since the cloning of BRCA1 in 1994, much has been learned about the function of the gene. However, a great deal more still has to be uncovered. The size of the protein coded by the BRCA1 gene and the variety of transcripts argues for a complexity of function and regulation that will provide intellectual and technical challenges for years to come.

Oman has a well-established history of fishing where most of her citizens depend directly or indirectly on fishing or fishing-related activities. Oman's long coastline is home to several inhabitants involved mainly in artisanal or traditional fisheries. Commercial fishing is largely prohibited in Oman barring a few regions. Batinah coast forms one of the biggest inhabited regions for fishermen in Oman. Although fishermen in the Batinah coast account for approximately 20% of the national catch, they face poor income conditions. This chapter gives a descriptive account of fishermen on the Batinah coast of Oman and the reasons affecting their growth and development. This chapter observes that the situation of Oman is different than the other developing countries. Fishermen face problems in earning a decent livelihood, and their expenses affect their savings and advancement. The Government of Oman is concerned with the state of fishery in the region and has put many efforts into developing a decent infrastructure across the region. However, not much emphasis has been placed on the human resources and enterprise. While fishermen need training and interactions with the government officials, government needs to be more observant and concerned about the not-so-well-off fishermen. The role of facilitators such as training institutions and banks becomes important in imparting fishermen the necessary skills and tools of productivity. All the facilitators and stakeholders need to come closer, sharing a common platform to advance fishing activity and its scope in the region.

Abstract: Climate change is one of the most complex challenges facing South Africa as the country designs plans and policies for future economic growth and development. Higher temperatures and more variable rainfall are already affecting the economy and are expected to continue for decades. The degree to which climate change affects different regions in South Africa is likely to vary significantly, characterized by wide ranges in the direction and magnitude of change in key climate variables, especially precipitation. These uncertainties interact with South Africa’s growth and development challenges and complicate planning and policy formation in support national development objectives. This chapter presents key research on changes in climate experienced in South Africa in recent years, along with projected changes in years to come. It illustrates the uncertainties related to climate change and the key channels through which climate change affects the economy. The economic and developmental impacts of such changes are presented along with the lessons for adaptation policy. As energy will be a key focus area for mitigation efforts in the country, this chapter also outlines the implications of such a transition and the factors that need to be accounted for in limiting the impacts on vulnerable populations.

The Right

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.
