Problems and Prospects of Shrimp Farming in Bangladesh

Shrimp is one of the leading exportable products in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is earning about 500 millions of foreign currency yearly by exporting shrimp and contributing 3.78% in GDP. This study intends to find out the problems related to the shrimp industry in Bangladesh to export in the international markets. As such a research study has been undertaken on shrimp farmers, experts and government employees of the shrimp farming areas. To gauge the prospects of shrimp farming, the south-western region of Bangladesh has been considered as the core farming areas. These three categories of stakeholders are related to the problems and prospects of shrimp industry in Bangladesh. A total of 100 stakeholders were selected to respond. The author suggested that problems including high mortality rate, lack of virus screening facility and the unfair practices should be taken into account for the both operative and strategic level without delay. Enforcement of food security from the external sector of the government ought to be discovered.

This classroom action research uses the Mc and Taggart model, with a participatory-collaborative approach. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results of the teacher's actions in cycle I showed that the implementation of learning was categorized as "good" but not all of the items observed were implemented optimally. The students' activities in the first cycle were in the fairly good to good category. Learning completeness is 66.67%. The activities of the second cycle teacher showed that all the observation items reached the very good category. Student activity increased in the good to very good category. Classical learning completeness reaches 100%. In conclusion, the application of the discussion method has an impact on increasing oral language skills and learning outcomes

Solidarity in Time of Armed Conflict. Women’s Patterns of Solidarity in Internally Displaced Person (IDP) Camps in Darfur, Western Sudan

This study, a vital part of a Ph.D. thesis, delves into the prolonged armed conflict\u27s impact in Darfur, which has resulted in severe loss of assets and lives, disrupted livelihoods, and food insecurity. Among the most vulnerable are internally displaced women, primary targets of violence due to their caregiving roles and responsibilities. Addressing the gap in existing literature, this research explores the meanings, practices, experiences, and representations of solidarity among women residing in the Abu-Shouk IDP camp. Challenging conventional perceptions, the study highlights women\u27s competencies and strengths, empowering them to develop unique coping strategies within the conflict context. It uncovers the significance of solidarity as a force of resilience and collective support. The insights shared emphasize the transformative potential of empowering displaced women and fostering positive change in conflict-affected communities

Leading rural land conflict as citizens and leaving it as denizens : Inside forest conservation politics in Burkina Faso

Based on an empirical study of struggles concerning access to land and political inclusion (and exclusion) in the context of a forest conservation project in rural Burkina Faso, this paper analyses environmental politics through the lens of citizenship. In Centre-east Burkina Faso, a peasant resistance to a newly demarcated forest conservation zone turns into an identity and political conflict involving an international conservation organization, the state, decentralized and customary authorities. Based on shared history and residency, a new citizenship of migrants had emerged. These new citizens, finding their given lands within the new forest conservation area, rejected the project-proposed forest boundaries, put forward their citizenship entitlements and engaged in resistance. Eventually they also found themselves in conflict with their polity, lost their claims along with their still-fragile citizenship. Consequently, they were evicted from the forest and labelled as les deguerpis, denied citizenship and became denizens. Beyond confirming the fragile, processual, nature of citizenship these findings also bear theoretical and conceptual implications, challenge the mainstream way environmental politics are analysed and suggest the need to understand political belonging and citizenship as the very basis of environmental struggles.Peer reviewe
