Simiyu, Boniface Mulimi Nasilomwa","doi":"10.46827/ejsss.v8i1.1344","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46827/ejsss.v8i1.1344","url":null,"abstract":"Most of the earth’s ecosystems have been dramatically transformed through anthropogenic actions. Unfortunately, some of these transformations represent a loss of diversity rather than enriching it. Habitat loss due to large-scale conversion of land to agriculture and settlement, infrastructure establishment, the introduction of invasive species and overexploitation of biological resources are among the global key drivers of terrestrial plant species diversity loss all of which have their origin in human demands placed on the terrestrial ecosystems. In Vihiga County, Hamisi sub-county, the rate of terrestrial plant diversity decline has increased in the recent past due to human actions; however, little is known about the effects of anthropogenic activities on terrestrial plant species diversity. The purpose of this study was to examine the status of the terrestrial plant species available in Hamisi Sub County of Vihiga County. The study was based on the ecological period between 1985 and 2015. The mixed research method design was adopted and a sample size of 201 household heads was selected from a study population of 17095. The sub-county was stratified into two divisions purposively selected for the administration of questionnaires, then the target household heads population was selected through simple random sampling. Key informants such as KWS officers, local administrators, agricultural officers, environmental officers and CBO leaders were selected through purposive sampling. Primary data was obtained through direct field observation, photography, satellite images, questionnaire administration, interview of key informants and focus group discussion. Secondary data was obtained from documented material; textbooks, journals, magazines, published and unpublished government reports and websites. Data from questionnaires were analyzed descriptively (frequencies with their percentages, means and standard deviation) using SPSS and presented in form of tables, charts and graphs and discussion essays. The other quantitative data analysis was performed using ArcGIS Desktop tools and presented as satellite images, GIS plates and photographs. Qualitative data was analyzed from emerging themes. The study findings revealed that: The terrestrial plant species had declined to a large extent while others disappeared completely. This information was expected to be used by decision-makers to ensure a high percentage of terrestrial plant species diversity is restored for human well-being.

The issues concerning public policies around the foster care system for children and young people in Portugal, represent above all, a historically troubled process, marked by controversial, but not at all reformist decisions, regarding the problematic of institutionalization. We propose to carry out an analysis of the formulation process of the policy measure Challenges, Opportunities and Changes (DOM Plan), according to Harold Lasswell's theoretical model of sequential analysis or the stages of the political process, as well as the corresponding objectives achieved by this measure. This analysis allowed us to draw in a systematic way the characteristics of each of the stages identified in the policy process, as well as to explore the results and the contribution of the actors involved in the implementation of this policy measure. We conclude that the media played a major role in precipitating the political process at the origin of the DOM Plan and that the goals stipulated by this policy measure, imminently quantitative and introduced within the political discourse, never became a reality.

En Côte d’Ivoire, malgré le temps, cette problématique reste encore d’actualité. En effet, depuis 2003 le gouvernent ivoirien a donné mandat à l’Office Ivoirien de la Propriété Intellectuelle (OIPI) pour reconnaître aux tradipraticiens leur mérite à travers les systèmes classiques de protection (brevet, marque, appellation d’origine). En plus en 2016, une loi portant réglementation de la médecine traditionnelle a été adoptée. Ces efforts des pouvoirs publics devrait permettre d’extirpé du rang des tradipraticiens, les charlatans et des « faux médicaments traditionnels ». Cependant force est de constater que ces efforts, ont été réalisés sans pour autant aboutir à l’appropriation certaine de ses dispositions par les tradipraticiens pour contribuer à leur protection et leurs médicaments.

En partant d’entretiens, de questionnaires et d’analyses de contenu de documents, d’analyse dialectique, cet article montre deux formes d’expression du non recours des tradipraticiens à la protection administrative. Il s’agit d’une part du déni des tradipraticiens à la protection administrative. D’autre part le non recours des tradipraticiens aux administrations se traduit par l’actualisation de la protection traditionnelle (le sacrée).

Vietnam is a small country, often having to fight against an aggressive move with larger and stronger manpower. Therefore, how should Vietnam’s military art and thought develop in order to win the victory? A small country defeating a large country is a bitter contradiction and must face many difficulties and hardships. Solving this contradiction is a great creation, which requires very high intelligence and the art of excellence in war leadership. That is the uniqueness, the development, the characteristic of Vietnamese military thought and art.

However, due to the characteristics of each different type of communication, the language, methods and skills of interviewing are different. The video interview is considered the most difficult skill. In Vietnam, the images of interviewees appearing in video interviews make them feel shy and uninterested because they are affected by many factors such as psychological appearance in front of the camera. Sometimes, they are shy or do not want many people to know about them. Therefore, conducting a video interview becomes more difficult.

Le constat est que ceux qui ont compris l’importance de la recherche scientifique et de l’innovation technologique ont une longueur d’avance de nos jours sur les derniers cités. Les occidentaux ont tôt fait d’avouer leurs ambitions expansionnistes. Au nom d’une curiosité très poussée, du savoir et de la recherche, ils ont traversé océans, fleuves, forêts, terres arides et contrées très hostiles, à la découverte de nouveaux territoires. Ces risques leur ont valu aujourd’hui de se positionner en maitres du monde, vu que les moyens utilisés pour franchir ces étapes étaient méconnus des peuples nouvellement découverts. Au-delà de ces actions d’exploration, de découvertes, de missionnaires, les nouveaux venus, forts de leur avancée technologique sur les occupants des nouvelles terres vont agir en conquérants afin d’exploiter les richesses du continent africain, au grand désarroi des populations locales qui parfois en ignoraient l’existence ou l’importance, tel le cas du pétrole et du manganèse. Cependant, depuis cette rencontre fatidique entre occidentaux et africains, les lignes ont bougé. Les Africains, partis à l’école de l’occident comprennent mieux les ambitions des occidentaux. Ils appréhendent mieux les actions de ces derniers selon les réflexions très poussées, mais à l’occidentale.

The reality is that those who have understood the importance of scientific research and technological innovation are one step ahead of the latest cities these days. Westerners were quick to confess their expansionist ambitions. In the name of deep curiosity, knowledge and research, they crossed oceans, rivers, forests, arid lands and very hostile regions, to discover new territories. These risks have earned them today the position of masters of the world, since the means used to overcome these stages were unknown to the newly discovered peoples.
