Discrimination is becoming widespread in the workplace and is harmful to organizations. Any modern business goals should always consist of abolishing all kinds of discrimination around their work environment and creating a positive environment that includes diversity. From a population of 13822, a sample of 389 respondents was chosen for the study. The simple percentage, mean & standard deviation, as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation analytic methods, were used to analyze the data generated from fieldwork. It was discovered that there is no significant relationship between gender and organizational employee satisfaction, there is no significant relationship between age and employee satisfaction, and there is a relationship between ethnicity and employee satisfaction as well. There is a relationship between education and employee satisfaction. From the findings generated for this study, the researcher recommends that; organizations must consider workplace diversity as an important factor for the satisfaction of employees, organizations that are working in diversity will also focus on ethnicity and development of a common social awareness model, management of organizations should continue to take steps to manage the diversity elements for attaining the satisfaction of employees as well as remuneration, promotion and other motivational incentives awarded to employees should be based on merit rather than tribalism, educational qualifications or age/gender differences so as to establish equity in the workplace.","PeriodicalId":30382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44151465","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}

The restraining force is generally controlled by the resistance of soil shear, the density and strength of plant roots and the strength of rocks. This disaster also often occurs in Indonesia, which has many mountains that stretch across the country. This research aims to determine landslide-prone areas, landslide types, dominant factors that cause landslides and landslide mitigation in anticipation of the impact of non-structural climate change. The research included 3 stages, such as pre-field, field, and post-field which are interrelated and complementary. The research location is around landslide-prone lands along the southwest slope of Mount Lawu in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. Based on the results of the research analysis, it indicates that the southwest slope of Mount Lawu, especially in Karanganyar, is highly prone to landslides. Therefore, it is not suitable to be used as agricultural and residential land because of its area of about 6,797.06 ha, and is categorized into three crucial parts, such as areas that are still highly prone to landslides of about 5,005.35 ha (73.64%); landslide-prone area of 1,784.23 ha (26.25%); and slightly landslide-prone area of 7.48 ha (0.11%).","PeriodicalId":30382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47961946","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}

Due to post-harvest losses, inadequate storage facilities lead to customers losing fresh okra. Therefore, farmers use traditional drying preservation methods by utilizing solar heat. The research objectives is to identify and evaluate the antinutrient, mineral, and proximate compositions of fresh and dried okra obtained from Gusau Market in Nigeria. Researchers analyzed and compared the samples using standard analytical methods and statistical packages from IBM SPSS version 21. The analysis revealed that the fresh and dried okra samples had the following amounts of water, ash, protein, fiber, carbs, lipids, and total energy: 75.30-8.56%; 1.85-8.05%; 16.44-77.25%; 4.30-2.03%; 0.18-3.15%; 1.93-0.96%; and 56.11-325.76%.

Barnyards and birkenstocks: Why farmers and environmentalists need each other. Pullman, WA: Washington State University Press, 280 pages, $28.95, paperback, ISBN: 978-0-87422-322-4.Synopsis and EvaluationTo learn more about the state of affairs in farming and the environment, one need look no further than some recent newspaper headlines: \"California's drought is hurting farmers but helping environmentalists\" (UK, The Guardian, 3/18/14) and \"New water rules worry those who work the land\" (Denton (TX) Chronicle, 9/7/14). Such accounts could easily lead one to conclude that the differences between farmers and environmentalists are insurmountable.Fortunately, Don Stuart's book, Barnyards and Birkenstocks: Why Farmers and Environmentalists Need Each Other, provides an in-depth account of the positive developments in farmer-environmentalist collaborations. Stuart provides numerous cases and scenarios that involve farmers and environmentalists, mostly in Washington State. Despite this geographical focus, however, the lessons Stuart learned are valuable for citizens and policy makers in others regions who are facing similar challenges.Stuart is explicit about the conflict that has dominated the relationship between farmers and environmentalists. However, rather than sounding hopeless, his ensuing analysis and narrative provide a clear way forward for creating stronger alliances between these two groups of stakeholders. In Chapter 1, he outlines the eight tools that will ensure a \"farming-friendly environmental community\" and an \"environmentally-friendly agricultural industry.\" The remainder of the book, organized in 15 chapters, presents several of these tools and ultimately enhances understanding about the complex nature of agricultural and environmental policy.In Chapters 2 through 4, Stuart provides the context for better understanding the farmerenvironmentalist paradox he mentions in Chapter 1. Here, the reader learns more about the value of farmland, agriculture's environmental risks, and the many opportunities and benefits that communities would sacrifice if farms were to disappear. Chapters 5 through 7 focus on the pros and cons of voluntary incentives versus regulations, while Chapters 8 and 9 provide information about taxes and government spending, and environmental markets, respectively. In Chapter 11, Stuart clarifies the value of two additional policy tools, zoning, and conservation.Stuart presents the power of the market in shaping farming practices and environmental advocacy in Chapter 10. Considering there has been a five-fold increase in the number of farmers markets in the past two decades, this discussion on the influence of the local food movement on farming practices may resonate with many people who themselves participate in this movement as consumers. In Chapter 12, Stuart tackles key environmental challenges head-on by detailing the impacts of climate change on agriculture and vice versa.
