How to Attain Sustainable Education in Sierra Leone: A Policy Design For Sanda Tendaren Chiefdom

Socioeconomic inequalities affect the access to affordable and sustainable education in Sierra Leone: Sanda Tendaren Chiefdom. Education is a crucial part of the chiefdom\u27s development. It has a direct affect on the living standards of the citizens of the chiefdom and a subpar system can negatively impact Chiefdom\u27s economic development and stunt societal participation in political discourse. If access to affordability and sustainability of education are addressed seriously, the short and long-term impact for Sanda Tendaren chiefdom will be tremendous and lasting. Chiefdom villagers will have access to improved school buildings closer to their homes and education will be affordable for Sanda Tendaren chiefdom citizens regardless of their socioeconomic status. Making education free and fair in Sanda Tendaren chiefdom would result in an immediate increase in enrollment at all levels and reduce gender inequality

POTENSI USAHA TANI DAN MODAL SOSIAL PETANI UNTUK PENGEMBANGAN AGROWISATA DI DESA SANDA, PUPUAN-TABANAN

Sanda Village has the potential to be developed as an object of agro-tourism because of the diversity of farming business consisting of coffee, coconut, cocoa, clove and natural beauty with rice terraces on a mountainous background. The development of community-based agro-tourism is believed to provide benefits for the welfare of farmers, because it provides employment and community business opportunities. As one of the economic empowerment offorts of rural communities, the development of agro-tourism in Sanda Village requires support and efforts to optimize the resources owned, both human and natural resources. In the context of human development, social capital has a large influence in terms of the ability to solve the complexity of shared problems, encourage change, foster collective awareness and look for opportunities for prosperity. Social capital in the village of Sanda is able to strengthen mutual trust in the community. Actualization of social capital for the development of agro-tourism in Sanda Village will be able to create mutual respect between individuals and groups in the synergy of business activities

Delivery actuator for a transcervical sterilization device

The use of delivery systems in the human body for positioning and deploying implants, such as closure devices, dilation balloons, stents, coils and sterilization devices, are gaining more importance to preclude surgical incisions and general anesthesia. The majorities of the non-surgical medical devices are delivered in a low profile into human body form and subsequently require specialized operations for their deployment and release. An analogous procedure for permanent female sterilization is the transcervical approach that does not require either general anesthesia or surgical incision and uses a normal body passage. The objective of this paper is to detail the design, development and verification of an ergonomic actuator for a medical application. In particular, this actuator is designed for the deployment and release of an implant to achieve instant permanent female sterilization via the transcervical approach. This implant is deployed under hysteroscopic visualization and requires a sequence of rotary and linear operations for its deployment and release. More specifically, this manually operated actuator is a hand held device designed to transmit the required forces in a particular sequence to effect both implant deployment and release at a target location. In order to design the actuator and to investigate its mechanical behavior, a three-dimensional (3D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) model was developed and Finite Element Method (FEM) was used for simulations and optimization. Actuator validation was performed following a number of successful bench-top in-air deployments and in-vitro deployments in animal tissue and explanted human uteri. During these deployments it was observed that the actuator applied the required forces to the implant resulting in successful deployment. Initial results suggest that this actuator can be used single handedly during the deployment phase. The ongoing enhancement of this actuator is moving towards “first-in- man” clinical trials

Experimental Study on Chinese Athletes’ Physical Distribution in Sanda Competition

Reasonable distribution of physical strength plays a very important role in adversary Sanda competition. According to the physical characteristics of Sanda athletes, this paper studied the physical distribution during Sanda competition. The results are as follows: a) If an athlete’s opponent is physically stronger, then he is not supposed to be recklessly but to take defense-oriented strategies. The athlete has to avoid the opponent’s heavy blow and seize the opportunity to accurately counterattack. b) If his physical strength is equal with the opponent’s, the athlete is supposed to maintain self-physical strength, and try to consume opponent physically. c) If the athlete is physically stronger, then he should actively attack, but not rampage. Two specific tactics are proposed: i) try to consume the opponent’s strength if the opponent is very easily excited or impetuous; ii) try to use defensive strategies if the opponent less attack

Tanggung jawab pembayaran utang dalam penyelesaian sanda tanah oleh penggarap tanah yaitu penggarap mengalihkan tanggung jawab kepada pemilik tanah karena keadaan ekonomi yang susah serta kurang bertanggung jawabnya pihak penerima sanda terhadap perawatan barang sanda; 3). Tinjauan hukum ekonomi syariah terhadap pemanfaatan sanda tanah kebun kelapa dari pelaksanaannya adanya pengambilan manfaat barang sanda oleh murtahin, dari rukunnya syarat mengenai shighat tidak terpenuhi karena dalam perjanjian sanda biasanya disyaratkan penerima sanda menikmati seluruh hasilnya, dari objeknya murtahin memanfaatkan barang sanda, yang mana barang tersebut membutuhkan biaya perawatan tidak boleh diambil kecuali sesuai dengan biaya perawatan kebun. ABSTRACT This research is motivated by the practice of sanda in coconut plantations in Teluk Sampit District, which is the party who makes a claim, not the owner so it is not following Islamic law and positive law. This research is focused on: 1). The mechanism of land sand transactions in Teluk Sampit District, East Kotawaringin Timur; 2). Responsibility for paying debts in the settlement of land and by land cultivators; 3). A review of sharia economic law on the use of sand and coconut plantations. The research method used is sociological juridical with a socio-legal approach. Research data was collected through activities, observations, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study were 1 coconut plantation owner, 1 cultivator (guarantee), and 1 guarantee recipient. The results showed that 1). The mechanism for the coconut plantation sanda transaction in Teluk Sampit District is carried out verbally, there is no submission of original documents of ownership from the rahin/plantation owner, there is the use of sanda goods, and there is no time limit that causes debts to occur for a long time: 2). The responsibility of paying debts in the settlement of sanda land by land cultivators, namely the cultivator transfers responsibility to the owner of the ground due to difficult economic conditions and the lack of responsibility of the recipient of sanda for the care of sanda goods; 3). A review of sharia economic law on the use of sanda in coconut plantations from its implementation of taking the benefits of sanda goods by murtahin, from the pillars the conditions regarding shighat are not fulfilled because in the sanda agreement it is usually required that the recipient of sanda must cultivate the garden and enjoy all the results, from the object it is murtahin to use sanda goods, which items require maintenance costs should not be taken except by the cost of garden maintenance
