Abstract: The status of the seereer woman occupies a non-negligible place in the musical production of Nicolas Ngor SARR. In “Ba Bolanaam o Loq” and “Xam Dakin a Tokol no Mbaar” Nicolas starts intelligently deconstructing the old discourse that entrapped the seereer woman in submissiveness, piety and purity as the top qualities of a good woman. He sings a new type of woman who refuses categorically to be beaten by her husband and sues for a divorce. Nicolas urges the seereer community to emancipate women by maintaining some cardinal values that the traditional seereer woman embodied. That is the reason why he celebrates mother by singing the soothing effect of motherhood in “Xam Dakin a Tokol no Mbaar”.

Keywords:  Seereer, Women, Motherhood, emancipation, rebellion, soothing, tradition, modernity.

Abstract: Evidently, after road transport, rail transport comes in as fundamentally the second most important mode of transport in Kenya, both for freight and passenger services. The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is a mega project that the Kenyan Government has invested in after freedom from the colonial rule. Critics are rife with sentiments that Kenya was not ripe for this investment and would have preferred that the funds be invested in other transport infrastructure development such as road networks which is perceived as critical for the moment. To clear and demystify the question of the ongoing uncertainty as to the economic viability of the project, the huge capital costs, allegations of graft and the concern that the projected benefits will fail to materialize as expected, and will not compensate for the high cost of the project, this paper will attempt to analyze the economic benefits that the SGR will achieve for Kenya. The paper will analyze how the SGR has enhanced tourism and trade for Kenya, how the SGR has reduced unemployment, how the SGR has enhanced both the social aspects and environmental conservation in Kenya. The study will review existing literature on metropolitan rail development with a few case studies from both developed and developing countries. This paper will reveal that the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has massive economic value to the country and beyond and is crucial to development and attaining Vision 2030 goals. The study recommends the completion of the remaining SGR phases in the projected time frame for the railway industry to play a positive role in national development.

Abstract: Anna Akhmatova's poetry and its ongoing transmutations is evidence of the ever-present conflict between the writing subject and its surrounding circumstances, a conflict that might reach the extent of jeopardizing the life and security of the practitioner him/herself. The present paper aims to explore how writing poetry, especially in the 1930s and the 1940s made Anna Akhmatova both the eyewitness and victim of intolerable circumstances that only strong-willed people of her type could endure. Also the nature of her poetry, its development, and characteristic features will be highlighted. The paper comprises four main sections: first, the preliminaries provides some background about the two stages in the writer's poetry and its totally different interests. The second is concerned with the two trends in Russian poetry, i.e., Symbolism and Acmetism which dominated the literary scene in the first half of the twentieth century. The third is the main argument that covers three subsections: Reqieum, Poem without a Hero and Akhmatova and Metapoetry. The fourth section is the conclusion where the main points of the paper are recapitulated and highlighted.     

Keywords: Acmetism, poetry, the past, metapoetry, Requiem, Poem without a Hero.

Abstract: Web surveys have become one of the most widely utilized and popular survey methods in recent years. Data collection on the Internet is faster than other methods such as paper-and-pencil, computer-assisted telephone interviews and personal interviews, because it is simple, cheap and provides quick access to the desired large group of respondents. However, in web surveys, bias may arise mainly due to limited coverage and self-selection. This study appraises characteristics and problems of web surveys and reduction techniques for reducing their biases. The post-stratification weighting is used for reducing these biases. In the application of this study, population estimates are compared to those from a volunteer panel web survey. The data are from the survey “Using Social Networking Sites in the Education of Students of Open Education System, Anadolu University”. It is shown that the weighting adjustment has reduced the bias substantially. When it is necessary to use volunteer panel web surveys, it is recommended to adjust the post-stratification weighting adjustment technique for reducing bias described in this study.

Abstract: This paper is an exposition on the theoretical and practical relevance of philosophy to good governance as a tool for achieving national development. It contends that philosophical ideas have been responsible for determining development tempo in modern society. Its take is that development is the product of men’s capacity to think more critically and reflectively, and that national development can be achieved if people, both the government and the governed, can adopt a philosophy to do well for the generality of the people. Using descriptive analytic method, the paper tries to form a nexus between philosophy and good governance. It finally recommends, following some implications of philosophy to national development, certain measures to be adopted in formulating national philosophy.

Keywords: philosophy, philosophical ideas, good governance, national development.

Abstract: It is important to note at the beginning itself that the tribal cuisine of Dadra & Nagar Haveli has nothing to do with Gujarati food. The visitors of Silvassa get confused between the both, as they end up eating in commercial restaurants only, and don’t get the opportunity to relish the real tribal food. Unfortunately the tribal food is available only in the tribal homes of the remote areas of this beautiful Union Territory of India. The tribals here belong to different communities but they have similar character, practices, beliefs and rituals. The staple food of the tribal includes rice and ragi (nagli). They also consume kodra and bajra. Wheat is consumed less. The tribal mostly depend on their kitchen gardens for vegetables which include bhindi, papdi, ambadi and various cucurbits. The tribal mostly depend for fire wood from the forest. Mahua flowers collection is another prominent activity among the tribals. Liquor is prepared out of these flowers and consumed everyday during the winters.
