The study was motivated by the desire to enhance our understanding of the impact of waste and its management in a metropolitan town. The study investigated the causes, impacts, techniques, and challenges of solid waste management in the Kaduna metropolis. Data was sourced using the survey method. from the residents and officers of the Kaduna State Environmental Agency. A multistage sampling technique was applied where by a structured questionnaire and interview guide were used for the data collection. A descriptive analysis was used to compute the results. Findings from the study reveal that households (61.9%), and petty traders (30%) are the main sources of solid waste in the study area. Residents (56.9%) are not satisfied with services rendered by the institutions that regulate waste due to a lack of coordination (40.6%) and political influence (27.2%). The most common challenge of waste management faced by residents is the lack of formal waste collectors within their proximity. Therefore, open dumping (46.9%), waterways (10.6%), and other places (25.6%) are used to dispose of waste in the study area. From these findings, it was recommended there should be wide publicity and awareness by the national orientation agency on environmental laws, and the dangers of violating them, in addition, there should be a well-coordinated policy implementation plan properly spelt out, identifying the roles and responsibility of both formal (public and private) and in formal waste managers. Keywords: Impact, Causes, Techniques, Challenges, Waste, Management.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.niujournals.ac.ug/ojs/index.php/niujoss/article/download/1589/2468","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147890879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theories of race, class, and gender that had been excluded or marginalized in the positivist twentieth century now make up the classical core of social justice reading lists.

These three are commonly read for their incisive critiques of colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy, respectively. Focusing mainly on a critical appraisal of their principal texts in these respective areas -- Césaire’s (2000[1950]) Discours sur le colonialisme; Mills’ (1956) Power Elite; and de Beauvoir’s (2009 [1949]) Le Deuxième Sexe -- I draw attention to the enduring ideas of inequality, domination, and oppression that appear in contemporary sociology.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"7 1","pages":"186-207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147922438","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 present study examines the relationship between victimisation experiences and psychological problems. The study also explores the relationship between teacher-student relationships and psychological problems. A sample of 200 students comprising 100 males and 100 females in the age group 12 to 16 years was used. One-way ANOVA and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were carried out. Overt victimisation, relational victimisation and teacher humiliation positively predicted psychological problems. Overt victimisation was consistently related to both internalising problems and externalising problems among adolescents. The findings have implications for school-based interventions aimed at fostering resilience among students.
