Motivations to Migrate: Migration from Morocco and the “Failure” of Rural Development During the Eurozone Financial Crisis

EU’s closing borders are impeding a fifty-year pattern of Moroccan migration to southern Europe to find work, prosper and provide for their families back home. Moroccan NGOs, as well as the Spanish and Italian governments, have recently invested in rural development initiatives aimed at increasing employment opportunities in Morocco and deterring workers from migrating. Yet Moroccans keep risking their lives and continue to migrate illegally every day as these initiatives are proving to be ineffective. This study examines the current conditions for Moroccan migrant workers amidst tightening European Union borders and a narrowing European frontier for employment. The Eurozone financial crisis, as well as right-wing anti-immigrant politics, has made it increasingly difficult for Moroccans to migrate to Europe to find employment. Young Moroccan migrants without visas and working papers are therefore forced to enter Europe illegally, and often dangerously, in search of work. Furthermore, while migrants who hold proper documentation are able to migrate freely, they are faced with a weak European job market and dwindling wages. This study further aims to explore the particular motivations of Moroccan migrant workers and determine whether or not domestic development initiatives will ever satisfy these motivations. The results show that rural development projects are not effective in stopping migration from Morocco to Europe, although they do aid in providing means and opportunities for Moroccans who chose not to migrate. This outcome is relevant to the Moroccan government, receiving EU countries, private investors and developers, as well as the rural Moroccan population; it can be used as a model for the Western Mediterranean region to better adapt and grow to meet the challenge of closing borders and economic recession

DEKONSTRUKSI PADA CERPEN SERIBU KUNANG-KUNANG DI MANHATTAN KARYA UMAR KAYAM

This study aims at analyzing the deconstruction process in the short story Seribu Kunang-Kunang di Manhattanby Umar Kayam by looking at the binary oppositions as well as the form of deconstruction that happens in the short story. The theory used in this study is deconstruction theory by Jacques Derrida. The result showed that there were several binary oppositions, namely: West and East, big city and village, man and woman. The oppositions described in this story are problematic. The first opposition, West and East, was reversed and won by the East. The second opposition, the city and the village, experienced a reversal so that the village won. Likewise, with the third opposition, man and woman also experienced a reversal and won by the woman. In the end, this research shows that these hierarchical oppositions do not exist and are only the result of the construction of the author's imagination. Yet the author rejects what he wants to portray in the story, the Western life in Manhattan, United States

Sexual Transgression: An Answer to the Immorality Act in André Brink’s An Instant in the Wind

This article investigates, through Michel Foucault’s work about sexuality and transgression, the transgression as it is articulated through André Brink’s An Instant in the Wind. This sexuality is related to the socio-political shifts underway in the depth of the apartheid regime. In this article, transgression is posited as a dissident tactic towards transformation of ways of thinking sexuality during apartheid. Transgression challenges “this sexuality on constant assistance” as a defined and reified entity which reflects the position of André Brink on sexual matters. Depicting sexual transgression in his novel becomes a literary weapon for getting down one of the essential pillar of the apartheid regime: the Immorality Act

MODEL PEMBERDAYAAN EKONOMI MASYARAKAT PESISIR PANTAI MELALUI PENGEMBANGAN DESA WISATA BUDAYA BERBASIS KULINER BAHAN BAKU LOKAL PADA PANTAI WISATA PULAU KABUPATEN ALOR

One of the priority programs of the Alor district government is alleviating poverty in coastal communities with a strategy to develop culinary tourism on the island of Kepa in Alor Kecil. The island has a stretch of white sand as soft as flour and clear blue sea far from the crowds. Looking at the sea in Alor from the coast of Kepa Island, the tranquility feels reassuring. The clear sea is protected inrows of sturdy hills on the surrounding islands. Small waves run slowly along fishing boats that occasionally pass. Kepa Island is a very good place for swimming, snorkeling and diving. This priority program has not been carried out maximally for the people on Kepa Island and its surroundings,namely community empowerment through culinary tourism. During this time the island of Kepa tourism was only made as a recreation area and an area for fishing for the community. The purpose of this study is to identify cultural culinary potential based on local raw materials that can improve thecommunity economy on Kepa Island and develop a Coastal Community Empowerment Model to improve the economy of coastal communities based on Local Raw Materials. The method of data analysis used in this research is descriptive research method. with data analysis techniques namelySWOT analysis, Internal Factors Analysis Summary (IFAS) analysis, External Factors Analysis Summary (Efas), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, exploring the perceptions and expectations of tourists and society, as a basis for modeling and further testing.

Analyse de la flore aquatique envahissante dans les plans d’eau de la ville de Daloa (Centre Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire)

Objectif : La présente étude, réalisée dans les plans d’eau de la ville de Daloa (Centre Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire), avait pour objectif principal d’avoir une meilleure connaissance de la flore aquatique envahissante dans la perspective de sa gestion efficiente.Méthodologie et résultats : La collecte des données a combiné la méthode des relevés de surface et celle dite itinérante. Après l’inventaire, l’identification proprement dite des espèces récoltées s’est faite à partir de la base de données globale des espèces envahissantes (www.issg.org/database/welcome/), de la documentation sur la flore ivoirienne et avec l’appui d’un systématicien du Centre National de Floristique de l’Université Félix Houphouët Boigny. L‘inventaire a été faite sur quatre sites suivant un échantillonnage direct. La flore des VAE recensés est constituée de dix espèces, reparties en dix familles, dix genres et deux embranchements. Il ressort que Nymphaea lotus, Cyperus articulatus, Typha domingensis et Eicchornia crassipes sont les plus dominants. Parmi toutes ces espèces, celles appartenant à l’embranchement des Angiospermes sont les plus représentées. Conclusion et application des résultats : Nymphaea lotus, Cyperus articulatus, Typha domingensis et Eicchornia crassipes sont les espèces les plus dominantes dans les plans d’eau de la ville de Daloa. La prolifération de ces espèces est favorisée par les pollutions de types agricoles et ménagers qui sont pratiquées autour des plans d’eau. Cela induit la régression de la surface des plans d’eau, la diminution des activités de pêche et la prolifération des moustiques responsables du paludisme.Mots clés : Inventaire, VAE, Daloa, Côte d’Ivoire

Pengaruh Komposisi Methacrylic Acid (MAA) dan Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) Terhadap Kapasitas Serapan Polimer Bercetak Molekul Pada Metilen Biru

Mengingat metilen biru adalah salah satu bahan pewarna yang digunakan secara luas dalam proses pewarnaan, penggunaan metilen biru hanya sekitar 5% dari proses dan sebagian besar dibuang sebagai limbah. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting untuk menghilangkan metilen biru dari perairan. Salah satu cara untuk menangani limbah zat warna metilen biru adalah dengan menggunakan penyerapan polimer bercetak molekul sebagai adsorben. Hasil penelitian didapatkan jumlah optimum dari MAA ialah 0.02 mol yang nilai kapasitas adsorpsinya sebesar 167.7419 mg/g dengan 0.005 mol EGDMA dan 3 x 10-6 mol metilen biru. Sedangkan jumlah optimum EGDMA ialah 0.001 mol yang nilai kapasitas adsorpsinya sebesar 371.6129 mg/g dengan 0.02 mol MAA dan 3 x 10-6 mol metilen biru. &nbsp
