The current study intends to recognize the various sorts of interference in French in Ivory Coast, a West African nation. The current article mainly concentrates on a propound examination and investigation of the linguistic procedure that demonstrates itself in the survey in the impression of Ivorian native tongues and a complicated range of elements and factors. This study focuses on the impacts of grammatical, phonetic, and lexical interference, occurring to various levels on basilect and mesolect French variants and are not in line with the French speech norms in France. The methodology is on the basis of investigating the cases of grammatical, phonetic, and lexical interference, revealing the particular characteristics of Ivorian French. Based on the analysis, lexical interference tends to be clear in alterations in the meaning of the original lexeme and the words borrowing from Ivorian tongues, exposing cultural realities. Based on that, grammatical and phonetic interference is greatly pronounced in the tongue of basilect-dominant talkers.

Les réformes globales ou partielles qui ont été entreprises dans le domaine agricole en Allemagne depuis 1945, prennent toutes leur origine dans des décisions du Conseil de Contrôle Allié. Ces réformes sont toutes fondées sur cette notion discutable que la situation politique et agraire de l'Allemagneentière est analogue à celle qui règne dans les régions situées à l'Est de l'Elbe pays des Junkers. La nécessité de la réforme agraire, en tant qu'élément de démilitarisation et d'élimination de l'influence économique et, par suite, politique, de la classe des grands propriétaires et des Junkers, a donc été généralisée à toutes les zones. La nécessité de cette réforme s'est trouvée renforcée par la constatation, chaque jour plus évidente, que l'absorption des populations (allemandes ou d'origine allemande) chassées de la région de l'Oder et de l'Est de l'Oder ainsi que celles du Sud-Est de l'Europe aggraverait encore le ravitaillement déjà difficile du reste de l'Allemagne. Il est, d'autre part, devenu chaque jour plus évident que l'établissement et l'assimilation de ces expulsés dans les autres parties de l'Allemagne ne pouvait s'effectuer sans plan et sans méthode en se contentant de les loger dans des habitations nues.

This book includes chapters which discuss effective and efficient approaches in dealing with various aspects of social media analysis by using machine learning techniques from clustering to deep learning. A variety of theoretical aspects, application domains and case studies are covered to highlight how it is affordable to maximize the benefit of various applications from postings on social media platforms. Social media platforms have significantly influenced and reshaped various social aspects. They have set new means of communication and interaction between people, turning the whole world into a small village where people with internet connect can easily communicate without feeling any barriers. This has attracted the attention of researchers who have developed techniques and tools capable of studying various aspects of posts on social media platforms with main concentration on Twitter. This book addresses challenging applications in this dynamic domain where it is not possible to continue applying conventional techniques in studying social media postings. The content of this book helps the reader in developing own perspective about how to benefit from machine learning techniques in dealing with social media postings and how social media postings may directly influence various applications.

As our world becomes increasingly interconnected through economic integration, technology, communication, and political transformation, the sphere of the family is a fundamental arena where globalizing processes become realized. For most individuals, family in whatever configuration, still remains the primary arrangement that meets certain social, emotional, and economic needs. It is within families that decisions about work, care, movement, and identity are negotiated, contested, and resolved. Globalization has profound implications for how families assess the choices and challenges that accompany this process. Families are integrated into the global economy through formal and informal work, through production and consumption, and through their relationship with nation-states. Moreover, ever growing communication and information technologies allow families and individuals to have access to others in an unprecedented manner. These relationships are accompanied by new conceptualizations of appropriate lifestyles, identities, and ideologies even among those who may never be able to access them. Despite a general acknowledgement of the complexities and social significance inherent in globalization, most analyses remain top-down, focused on the global economy, corporate strategies, and political streams. This limited perspective on globalization has had profound implications for understanding social life. The impact of globalization on gender ideologies, work-family relationships, conceptualizations of children, youth, and the elderly have been virtually absent in mainstream approaches, creating false impressions that dichotomize globalization as a separate process from the social order. Moreover, most approaches to globalization and social phenomena emphasize the Western experience. These inaccurate assumptions have profound implications for families, and for the globalization process itself. In order to create and implement programs and policies that can harness globalization for the good of mankind, and that could reverse some of the deleterious effects that have affected the world's most vulnerable populations, we need to make the interplay between globalization and families a primary focus.

The reproductive technologies, particularly IVF, have proved a continuing source of community disquiet Despite numerous attempts in many countries to frame appropriate regulations, a community consensus has not been achieved. This failure is due to the medical control of the reproductive technologies, whereas the contentious issues are in fact social. The argument of this paper is that we already have regulatory procedures which are suited to the control of the social aspects of these technologies in the current legislation covering adoption and rights of parenthood.

Design - Nachhaltigkeit - Gesellschaft, Verantwortung - Design, Soziale Aspekte - Sozialer Wandel. Design Thinking. Verlagsbeschreibung: "... Manzini distinguishes between diffuse design (performed by everybody) and expert design (performed by those who have been trained as designers) and describes how they interact. He maps what design experts can do to trigger and support meaningful social changes, focusing on emerging forms of collaboration. These range from community-supported agriculture in China to digital platforms for medical care in Canada; from interactive storytelling in India to collaborative housing in Milan. These cases illustrate how expert designers can support these collaborations— making their existence more probable, their practice easier, their diffusion and their convergence in larger projects more effective. Manzini draws the first comprehensive picture of design for social innovation: the most dynamic field of action for both expert and nonexpert designers in the coming decades. ..."

"This book assesses a narrow but vital - and so far understudied - part of Roman women's lives: puberty, preparation for pregnancy, pregnancy and childbirth. Bringing together for the first time the material and textual sources for this key life stage, it describes the scientific, educational, medical and emotional aspects of the journey towards motherhood. The first half of the book considers the situation a Roman girl would find herself in when it came to preparing for children. Sources document the elementary sexual education offered at the time, and society's knowledge of reproductive health. We see how Roman women had recourse to medical advice, but also turned to religion and magic in their preparations for childbirth. The second half of the book follows the different stages of pregnancy and labour. As well as the often-documented examples of joyous expectation and realisation of progeny, there are also family tragedies - young girls dying prematurely, stillbirth, death in childbirth, and death during confinement. Finally, the book considers the social change that childbirth wrought on the mother, not just the new baby - in many ways it was also a mother who was in the process of being conceived and brought into the world"--
