Based on the objectives and the nature of the study, the qualitative research method has been used to conduct the research. Content analyses have been applied to analyze the elicited data for the study. The study has explored that a very significant word “Door” connected to the title of the study was used to signify a number of notable points including welcoming anybody, keeping something secret, forbidding somebody to enter somewhere, forcing someone to stay, getting rid of something boring, something wanted coming, switching concentration, tension and stress regarding the arrival of something unwanted, and opening up a new horizon of freedom. The “Door” slammed by Nora at the very end of A Doll’s House indicates the closing of the door of dependence and opening up a new door, the door of true individuality, learning, maturity, and freedom. Finally, the true thought of Ibsen is found through his search for truth and individuality regardless gender and freedom. Hence, it can be said that the present study will be a great source of literary information for the future researcher in the connected fields.","PeriodicalId":254239,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139262890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: Data was obtained through interactive interview with the staff in the quarry and after collation and data analysis, the following results were observed. Afrimine sells her granite within the price range of N3,300 to N5,200 for sizes of 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 3/8 inch, stone dust and makes a monthly profit of N36, 484,859.375 with a total volume of 15,000 tons per month and a unit price of N2,291.61/ton while Jolex Construction sells her granite within the prices of N7,500 to N8,000 and makes a monthly profit of N58, 295,000 at total volume of 9,000 tons per month with a unit price of N1022.78/ton.

Their selection was based on the population’s size and the state’s zonal districts. Three hundred and ninety-five respondents from fuelwood collectors have been obtained through stratified and random sampling techniques. Data were collected using a questionnaire, focus group discussion, personal interview, and observations. The finding reveals that more than 85% of people living in the study area use fuelwood collection as their second major source of livelihood after farming. On identifying the importance of fuelwood collection, the study suggested encouraging massive campaigns on tree planting programs, coppicing practices, and applying protective rules safeguarding forests.

This paper aims to describe various problems with electronic certificate checking by PPAT as well as solutions to all problems that occur in providing legal land guarantees and certainty and information disclosure in the community. The method used in this research is normative research using secondary data in the form of primary legal material in the form of legislation. The technique used in legal materials collection is a literature review or documentation using legal material analysis techniques as well as the deductive method. The results of this study put forward the problems that occur in checking electronic certificates, among others, physical certificates received by PPAT for checking cannot be ascertained whether or not valid, there is a discrepancy of data on the certificate checking results, the certificate data are not suitable for the land book data in the office of the National Land Agency (BPN), causing doubts and obstructing the transferring process of rights. The results of this study also offer a number of solutions that can be considered, among others: PPAT must carefully ensure the suitability of the existing data on the physical certificate or the data of results of electronic certificate checking, BPN is actively updating database system that adheres to the principle of liability, and it is expected that the BPN can minimize the error in recording juridical and physical data in the future. In the end, checking the certificate is a very effective step against the prevention of land disputes in the process of land transition and also reduces cases of land mafia in Indonesia. This will also be realized if supported by all parties both from PPAT, the community and BPN. The role of BPN is very necessary for this step, especially in the rule of the letters archived in BPN synchronized correctly when checking the certificate electronically.","PeriodicalId":254239,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132928868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an eco-friendly and sustainable way to manage organic waste and it can have a number of benefits for the environment. Composting can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil quality, and conserve water. It can also help to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills, which can help to protect human health and the environment. The inputs of waste for composting can include food scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials. These materials are broken down by microorganisms in a process called decomposition. There are a lot of decomposition technologies as not limited to, aerobic decomposition which requires oxygen, so it is important to turn the compost pile regularly to ensure that there is enough oxygen present. The processes used in composting can vary depending on the scale of the operation. However, all composting methods involve the following steps: Collection of organic waste, followed by preparation of the waste (e.g., shredding and chopping), then mixing of the waste with other materials (e.g., soil, sand, and micro-organisms), turning of the compost pile, then, monitoring of the compost pile (e.g., moisture content, and temperature), and finally, harvest of the compost. The outputs of composting are a nutrient-rich soil amendment called compost. Compost can be used to improve soil quality, increase crop yields, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Compost can also be used to create a more sustainable landscape by reducing the need for imported topsoil. This review will discuss the benefits of composting and how it can be used to mitigate the effects of climate change. It will also provide information on how to start composting and the different types of composting systems and factors affecting the compositing process that are available.","PeriodicalId":254239,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115929473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
