This paper introduces the term inner-city rural to describe a conceptual framework that seeks to explain the transmission of urban and street-based alternative constructions of black manhood identities to majority black rural counties in the United States. The central theoretical argument advanced in this paper is that exposure to urban street culture as it is represented in some versions of gangsta rap and hip hop music, videos and culture is a major mechanism by which marginalized African American males residing in rural communities come to internalize and enact problematic urban male street-based masculine identities.
Under the background of internationalization of education and cultural diversification, transnational mobility is increasingly becoming the main form of socio-economic and cultural exchange between countries. With the continuous deepening of the internationalization of universities, the scale of foreign students as cultural messengers connecting China and foreign countries is also increasing from year to year. As a result, the probability of various emergencies has significantly increased, and the broad attention of society to the settlement of emergencies related to foreign students has set new tasks for the leadership of universities. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the current situation and the reasons for managing safety training for foreign students, identifying and classifying safety risks for them, etc., and suggests measures to build a safety training management system for such students.
The extremely rapid development of an information-aware society requires the effective regulation of the state policy in the field of combating cybercrime. The rapid development of technology creates new opportunities in the use of information space, but new opportunities entail new threats in this area. In order to prevent and develop an effective mechanism to repel existing and future threats in the field of cyberspace, it is necessary to study the purpose, tasks and principles of the state policy in the field of combating cybercrime. The purpose of the article is to define the concept of the term of "politics", in a broad sense, the concept of "state policy", on the basis of scientific works of scholars, setting the tasks of the state policy in combating cybercrime. The methodological basis of the study is modern general and special methods of scientific cognition, the use of which is determined by a systematic approach. The author of the article considers the scientific works of foreign and domestic scholars who have studied the concept of politics and the concept of state policy in a broad sense. The author has formulated own vision of the terms of "state policy" and "state policy in the field of combating cybercrime". The study found out that the purpose of state policy in the field of combating cybercrime is to create conditions for the safe operation of cyberspace and its effective use in the interests of individuals, society and the state. The list of tasks of the state policy in the field of counteraction to cybercrime is formulated. It was found out that the purpose and tasks of the state policy in the field of combating cybercrime determine the system of principles, which should be the basis for such a policy. The priority system of principles of the state policy in the field of combating cybercrime is highlighted. The publication will be useful for students, cadets, teachers, post-graduate students and doctoral students of higher education in the field of jurisprudence, as well as anyone interested in the state policy in the sphere of combating cybercrime. ; В статье рассмотрены основные научные труды современных ученых в области государственной политики и приоритетные принципы государственной политики в сфере противодействия киберпреступности.

In the extant literature of business cycle predictions, the signals for business cycle turning points are generally issued with a lag of at least 5 months. In this paper, we make use of a novel and timely indicator—the Google search volume data—to help to improve the timeliness of business cycle turning point identification. We identify multiple query terms to capture the real‐time public concern on the aggregate economy, the credit market, and the labor market condition. We incorporate the query indices in a Markov‐switching framework and successfully "nowcast" the peak date within a month that the turning occurred. (JEL E37, G17)
One of challenges facing urban mangers especially in the developing countries deals with their inability to meet the water needs of the ever increasing population of its urban dwellers. The present study examined the challenges militating against effective water delivery to residents among public water supply agencies in Port Harcourt municipality. The non-probability sampling technique was used to select five (5) out of the twenty (20) neighborhoods in the study area. This sampling strategy ensured the deliberate inclusion of the planned areas of the municipality (Main Town, Diobu (Miles 1, 2 and 3), and Oromineke Layout, which are expected to still bear the footprint of past (colonial) planning for water delivery, and at least one of the old indigenous enclaves now being transformed into modern residential neighborhoods.Finding revealed that the challenges of public water supply in Port Harcourt municipality is not due to the absence of institutional framework, but low investment towards water infrastructural development, a situation that has led to dilapidation of existing water facilities in the municipality.Among the challenges militating the provision of water by public water supply agenciesin Port Harcourt include: inadequate investment/funding , vandalism /encroachment on water rights –of- way , and lack of political will. Others are Indiscriminate sitting of water projects , Lack of state owned laboratory for water testing, and issues relating to sustainability The study advocates for the revamping of the water supply schemes in the area by ensuring collaboration between and among public water agencies in the area so as to achieve sustainability in water delivery through the tenets of cost recovery strategies that will in-turn promote socio-economic development for not just the municipality but the state.
This review provides a critical appraisal of Kubow and Min's paper. It teases out their conception of liberalism and argues that the classical notion of liberalism as a political theory that advocates individual liberty based on assumptions of the unencumbered autonomous individual has lost currency. This is because over the years liberalism has mutated into a multiplicity of new forms, and there is no single view that can be said to define what it means to be a liberal. The paper raises methodological questions with respect to the use of focus group interviews. It implores researchers to first ask themselves whether they can tell what a person really believes on the basis of a few questions put to him in an interview.
Sediment erosion is a serious issue, with approximately 75 billion tons of soil is eroded annually around the world (Pimentel and Kounang, 1998). Although erosion is a natural process, it can accelerate due to human activity and land use changes. Increasing soil erosion beyond its natural threshold can result in significant environmental degradation and decreased economic productivity. Implementing sediment management laws and practices is critical to significantly decrease soil erosion and preserve environmental resources. In the United States, there is a comprehensive system of laws and regulations at national, state, county, and city level that govern erosion and sediment control. The laws and voluntary incentives outlined in our paper have significantly reduced the negative impacts of sediment carried in urban and storm-generated runoff, have reduced chemical and biological pollutants in sediment transported in aquatic ecosystems, and have improved the air quality in several cities with air pollution problems. Having a multi-faceted approach to monitoring erosion and improving soil management is important for a healthy, productive environment and economy. ; La erosión de sedimentos es un problema serio, con aproximadamente 75.000 millones de toneladas de suelo erosionadas anualmente en todo el mundo (Pimentel y Kounang, 1998). Aunque la erosión es un proceso natural, ésta puede acelerarse debido a la actividad humana y a los cambios en el uso de la tierra. El incremento de la erosión del suelo más allá de su umbral natural puede resultar en una degradación ambiental significativa y una disminución de la productividad económica. La implementación de leyes y prácticas de gestión de sedimentos es fundamental para disminuir significativamente la erosión del suelo y preservar los recursos ambientales. En los Estados Unidos, existe un sistema integral de leyes y regulaciones a nivel nacional, estatal, del condado y de ciudad que gobiernan la erosión y el control de sedimentos. Las leyes y los incentivos voluntarios descritos en nuestro trabajo han reducido significativamente los impactos negativos de los sedimentos transportados en las escorrentías urbanas y rurales, han reducido los contaminantes químicos y biológicos en los sedimentos transportados hacia los ecosistemas acuáticos y han mejorado la calidad del aire en varias ciudades con problemas de contaminación atmosférica. Tener un enfoque multifacético para monitorizar la erosión y mejorar la gestión del suelo es importante para un ambiente y una economía sanos y productivos.
