Abstract: One of the largest problems modern India is facing is how to develop itself in the present while retaining resources for the future. This paper highlights the ways urbanisation leads to slum creation and the problems that come with it. Neo-Liberal Urbanisation's modus operandi of slum upgradation leads to further poverty and negligence, displacement of people and destruction of their livelihoods. The current meta revolves around rapid economic and infrastructure development disregarding the human factor of slum upgradation or the environmental risks associated with it. This paper aims to present the problem associated with the process of.......

Abstract: Amidst Africa's shifting political terrain, journalism stands as both a barometer and a driver of democratic change.

This study critically examines the trajectory of African journalism through the lens of political transformation, tracing how the ideals of the 1991 Windhoek Declaration—media pluralism, independence, and freedom—continue to contend with state control, censorship, and threats to journalist safety......

Abstract: Northeast India is a residence to multi-cultural tribal population which comprises eight Indian states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim. Nagaland, one of the states in India has been considered as a sample to represent the Northeastern states as students from many of these states migrate here to pursue their higher education. The University life of an individual is more mentally and academically challenging than any other educational period. Psychological disorders and other issues might therefore be more prevalent among students during this stage. The study's main objective was to examine the mental health......

Abstract: This study examines the implementation of risk-based oversight (RBO) in the domain of aviation personnel licensing, with a specific focus on the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). It explores how CAAT is transitioning from a compliance-based oversight model toward a more performance-informed, data-driven approach, in alignment with ICAO's Annex 1 and supporting guidance materials such as Doc 9374 and Doc 9379. Drawing on comparative practices from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration......

Abstract: The problem of Land transformation on food and livelihood security has been experienced not only in Kenya and Africa but all over the world thereby necessitating adequate research that is the problem of land size verses food security. Various studies that have been undertaken on general impacts of land sizes and use on livelihood security especially in Ghana and Rwanda have shown that fragmentation has adverse effects on the agricultural productivity. This has not been done in Nyandarua, specifically in Gatimu sub-location thereby resulting in a knowledge gap. This study therefore sought to bridge the gap by assessing household land size and use for sustainable food and livelihood security in an agricultural area with emphasis in dairy farming that is Gatimu sub-location in......
