Building Peace In Conflict Affected Communities Through The Sustainable Human Development (Shd) Framework: A Case Study Of Mindanao
(2013-02)
Abubakar, Ayesah Uy,
The protracted right-to-self-determination (RSD) conflict in Mindanao, Philippines, has yet to be fully resolved. Hence, the five decades of attempts to peace. Key to this is the Bangsamoro’s search for a kind of development that is compatible with their aspirations for freedom and their future. This research aims to study the Bangsamoro communities’ social constructions of conflict, peace and development, and examine the viability of the sustainable human development (SHD) framework for application in their challenging realities. The usefulness of the SHD framework does not only lie in its use of human development parameters like the Human Development Index (HDI). It also provides an approach towards development that synergizes with the sustainable peace framework - an imperative for Mindanao. At the center of this approach is the Participatory Rural Appraisal and Participatory Learning and Action (PRA/PLA) methodology using the technology of participation to elicit responses, stimulate discussion, document verbal and non-verbal ideas in accordance with the communities’ unique modes of expression, and carry out on a limited basis community-driven projects in a manifestation of local empowerment. The study concludes: (a) that both SHD and peacebuilding are mutually reinforcing frameworks aimed at achieving the same human development goals, and (b) that the pursuit of the right to self-determination is enhanced as both frameworks are combined to serve as context for that pursuit toward the attainment of peace in Mindanao.
Relationship Between Religiosity And Happiness: The Mediating Role Of Self- Control, Self-Regulation, And Life Satisfaction
(2019-08)
Rusman, Abdul Aziz
Religiosity has been associated with happiness but the exact pathway outlining the relationship remains unclear. One possible mechanism explaining the relationship between religiosity and happiness is the role of religiosity in promoting self-control and self-regulation. Self-control and self-regulation subsequently influence life satisfaction and consequently happiness. The aim of this study is to examine further the relationships between religiosity, self-control, self-regulation, life satisfaction and happiness. More specifically, this study examines (1) the relationship between religiosity and self-control; (2) the relationship between religiosity and self-regulation; (3) the mediating effect of self-control and self- regulation on the relationship between religiosity and life satisfaction; and (4) the mediating effect of self-control, self-regulation, and life satisfaction on the relationship between religiosity and happiness. Participants were six hundred and twenty-eight of middle adults in Medan, Indonesia. They were recruited through purposive stratified sampling. This explanatory research employed a cross-sectional design and a quantitative approach. Data were collected using five self-report questionnaires, namely the Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky et al., 1999); the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, et al., 1985); the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (Huber, 2003); the brief Self-control Scale (Tangney, et al., 2004); and the Self-regulation Scale (Schwarzer, et al., 1999). Data were analyzed by applying Structural Equation Model (using the LISREL software 8.80) which provides
The Centre-State Dynamic Relationship In Penang (1969-1974): Containment, Coercion And Cooperation
(2025-06)
Teng, Chang Yeow
The relationship between central and state governments in federal systems is often complicated, especially when the ruling parties are in conflict. This has been particularly evident in Malaya and later Malaysia since gaining independence. Disputes have emerged over various issues due to differing interpretations and implementations of constitutional provisions at the central and state levels of government. The Malaysian Constitution establishes a strong central government, highlighting the importance of collaboration between political entities at the central and state levels to foster healthy Centre-state relations. In 1969, the state government of Penang was led by the opposition party. Upon gaining power, the leadership managed Centre-state relations diplomatically and cooperatively.
Natural And Synthetic Rubber In China: Production Performance, Import Ability And Production Forecast
(2025-07)
Song, Yu
China's rubber industry, including natural and synthetic rubber, plays a vital role in the national economy but faces persistent challenges. From 1993 to 2022, the average natural rubber productivity reached 1.13 tons per hectare, significantly lower than Thailand’s 1.54 tons per hectare, revealing low productivity and inefficiency. Technical efficiency (TE) and total factor productivity (TFP) declined in state-owned enterprises, particularly in Hainan and Yunnan. Synthetic rubber production expanded steadily, supported by technology and policy measures, yet overall production remains insufficient. Natural rubber production growth fluctuated under global economic crises and market volatility, while heavy dependence on imports increased supply chain vulnerability. This study evaluates production performance and import ability, identifies affecting factors, and forecasts future trends. Data Envelopment Analysis measures TE, the Solow Growth Model estimates TFP, and multiple linear regression examines determinants, while the Prophet model predicts long-term production growth. Import ability is assessed using Relative Import Advantage (RMA) and import capacity.
