Populist nationalist attacks on health and human rights have been increasing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These attacks may be used to divert attention from the government's inability to control the virus, to deflect blame, or even to consolidate power. Authoritarian governments have increased the rhetoric of nationalism, created bogus enemies and alternative narratives, increased the authority of security forces, and banned democratic demonstrations. In this article, we discuss how the Turkish government has hidden the truth about the extent of the disease, spent considerable effort on polishing its own image, promoted the notion of Western jealousy, and fabricated a host of scapegoats to blame for its own failure to protect its people from the ravages of this crippling epidemic.

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Laws Degree, Strathmore University Law School ; Land grabbing has been a problem in Kenya since the colonial period. Successive governments have not been able to deal with this problem. The current land laws were enacted in order to deal with various land issues including land grabbing, however, this problem is present, years after the enactments of the current land laws. This study explores the inadequacy of the current land laws in Kenya to address the problem of land grabbing in Kenya. It also looks at the National Land Commission and the Ministry of Lands and shows their limitations in dealing with land grabbing in Kenya. The study recommends changes in the current land laws to ensure that these laws are able to address the problem of land grabbing in Kenya.
Abstract If you find it hard to get up in the morning, don't despair - you're not lazy, you're just genetically programmed that way, says the B-Society by Chris Morris (2007). A night owl is person who tends to stay up until late at night, and the opposite of night owl is an early bird, a lark, someone who tends to begin sleeping at a time that is considered early and also wakes early. . In many countries, early birds are called "A-people" and night owls are called "B-people." Some of us are clearly "larks" -early risers while others of us are diversely night owls. The rest of us fall more or less in between the two. In study magazine, reported that IQ average and sleeping patterns are most definitely related, proving that those who play under the moon are, indeed, more intelligent human beings said Satoshi kanazawa (2010), a psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Background Past research in population health trends has shown that injuries form a substantial burden of population health loss. Regular updates to injury burden assessments are critical. We report Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 Study estimates on morbidity and mortality for all injuries. methods We reviewed results for injuries from the GBD 2017 study. GBD 2017 measured injury- specific mortality and years of life lost (YLLs) using the Cause of Death Ensemble model. To measure non- fatal injuries, GBD 2017 modelled injury- specific incidence and converted this to prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs). YLLs and YLDs were summed to calculate disability- adjusted life years (DALYs). Findings In 1990, there were 4 260 493 (4 085 700 to 4 396 138) injury deaths, which increased to 4 484 722 (4 332 010 to 4 585 554) deaths in 2017, while age- standardised mortality decreased from 1079 (1073 to 1086) to 738 (730 to 745) per 100 000. In 1990, there were 354 064 302 (95% uncertainty interval: 338 174 876 to 371 610 802) new cases of injury globally, which increased to 520 710 288 (493 430 247 to 547 988 635) new cases in 2017. During this time, age- standardised incidence decreased non- significantly from 6824 (6534 to 7147) to 6763 (6412 to 7118) per 100 000. Between 1990 and 2017, age- standardised DALYs decreased from 4947 (4655 to 5233) per 100 000 to 3267 (3058 to 3505). Interpretation Injuries are an important cause of health loss globally, though mortality has declined between 1990 and 2017. Future research in injury burden should focus on prevention in high- burden populations, improving data collection and ensuring access to medical care. ; Syed Aljunid acknowledges the Department of Health Policy and Management, Faculty of Public Health, Kuwait University and International Centre for Casemix and Clinical Coding, Faculty of Medicine, National University of Malaysia and for the approval and support to participate in this research project.

İş hayatında kadınların aktif olması gerek ekonomik gerekse sosyal açıdan son derecede önemlidir. Turizm sektöründe, her geçen gün kadın çalışanların sayısı giderek artmaktadır. Söz konusu bu durum, kadın çalışanların sektörde hangi pozisyonlarda görev aldığını ve karşılaştıkları sorunların neler olduğu sorusunu da dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada kadınların diğer sektörlere göre yüksek oranda istihdam edilmesine olanak sağlayan turizm sektöründe, kadınların yönetici kademesinde karşılaştıkları sorunların belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır ve Ordu ilinde faaliyet gösteren turizm işletme belgeli 4 ve 5 yıldızlı konaklama işletmelerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nitel araştırma tekniğinin uygulandığı çalışmada yarı yapılandırılmış açık uçlu mülakat soruları hazırlanmıştır ve 9 konaklama işletmesi için 11 kadın yönetici ile görüşme sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre yüz yüze görüşme yapılan kadın yöneticiler, Ordu ilindeki otel işletmelerinde kadın yöneticilere kariyer fırsatlarının yeterince sunulduğunu, ancak bu fırsatların belirli departmanlarda yoğunlaştığını ifade etmektedirler (Satış ve Pazarlama, Kat hizmetleri, Ön büro, İnsan Kaynakları vb.). Bunun yanı sıra ücretlerin düşük olması, uzun ve esnek çalışma saatleri, sosyal güvence yoksunluğu, kariyer olanaklarında fırsat eşitsizliği, toplumsal cinsiyet ayrımcılığı, ataerkil zihniyet, kişinin özel hayatı ve iş hayatı arasında denge kuramama gibi zorluklarla da karşılaştıkları güçlükler araştırma bulgularında yer almaktadır.
Finansal serbestleşmenin ülkeler açısından ekonomik büyümenin sağlayıcısı olacağı düşüncesi nedeniyle ülkeler, finansal serbestleşme sürecine katılmış ve sermaye üzerindeki mali yükümlülükleri azaltmışlar ya da kaldırmışlardır. Ancak finansal serbestleşme süreci, her zaman bütün ülkelerin yararına olmamış, bazı ülkelerin ekonomileri kırılgan hale gelmiştir. Ekonomik kırılganlıkları artan ülkelerin kriz yaşaması durumunda, küreselleşme sebebiyle de diğer ülkelerin de krizlerden etkilenmesi kolaylaşmıştır. Bu nedenle finansal serbestleşme ve küreselleşmenin, ekonomilere verdiği olumsuz etkiyi minimize etmek amacıyla finansal işlemler üzerine mali yükümlülüklerin konulmasının, var olan sorunlara çözüm üreteceği düşünülmeye başlanılmıştır. Birçok ekonomist, finansal işlemler üzerine yüklenecek mali yükümlülükler hakkında yazılar yazmış ve birçok ülke de krizlerle karşılaşmamak için değişik şekillerde vergi ya da farklı yükümlülükler uygulamıştır. Bu çalışmada, finansal işlemler üzerindeki yükümlülüklerin amacı, ekonomistlerin yapmış oldukları öneriler ve Türkiye ve seçilmiş bazı ülkelerdeki finansal işlemler üzerindeki mali yükümlülükler incelenmiştir. Sonuç kısmında ise Türkiye için bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Informed by Critical Race Theory, this quantitative study supports civic educators in understanding the role of classroom climate and racial identity in students' civic engagement during a statewide middle school civics mandate (n = 4707). Findings reveal that students of color experience higher civic engagement and lower civic attitude scores than white-identifying peers, after controlling for school, classroom, and affluence indicators. Students' perception of whiteness (or perhaps majority status) appeared to correlate with positive civic knowledge and civic attitude, but relative civic inaction. These findings suggest differences in civic outcomes as early as middle school between white-identifying students and students of color. Such differences offer implications for civic education interventions that address not only effective instruction, but civic inequities, students' perceived agency, and curricular content.
