Abstract: The aim of all my work is to understand and explain relational life. The work is present in the articles and books already published. Mind - Since its origin, Homo sapiens acquired the potential that will allow history. These are qualities already present in primates and inherited from them, such as the prehensile limb, binocular vision, a good memory that allows knowledge, forms of reasoning present in chimpanzees. However, the human brain is three and a half times larger than his, hence the broad knowledge and rich language, and it is a brain capable of specializing in practical but also abstract and spiritual activities. All this constitutes a completely new interactive chain in the relationship between species and environment, because man knows how to adapt reality to his needs thanks to a completely new faculty: creativity, the spark of history. Psyche - I start from the Primitive Horde hypothesized by Freud in Totem and Taboo, and I follow Darwin to identify the Origin of Man however in his psychic and social heritage, a heritage that, we will see, has an enormous weight in societies, in history and life of people. Ideas and motivations are distinguished, among these the trust or security that each one seeks in the context in which he lives but following archaic feelings inherited from animals such as property and rank. It should be considered that the last genetic social structure in which the sapiens lived, and in which their best feelings were formed, is the tribe or multi-family community. This community no longer exists and has eclipsed its essential character of being a face-to-face group, or group in which everyone knows each other. Its disappearance, which occurred since the first civilizations, marks the beginning of history.

Abstract: This paper based on Effects of Foreign Labour Migration especially focus on their Children” and objective of examining the effects of foreign labour migration on the left their children. It helps to understand the economic, social and demographic effects on the left behind family members, particularly spouses located in Ward No. 4, Gauradaha Municipality of Jhapa district. Quantitative data from 150 respondents, particularly spouses and parents of the foreign labour migrants, have been collected by employing a structured questionnaire and scheduled interview technique. It uses census method for data collection. This study illustrates that majority of the migrants are Limbu and Tamang males motivated by economic push factors and social pull factors to migrate abroad. Malaysia (56%), Quater (25%) are main destination countries. Average household wealth score and household income have both increased after foreign labour migration. The left behind spouses are more comfortable talking to their family members instead of other people and institutions located in the community regarding the social discrimination that they experience. Given that these effects are diverse, balancing them requires comprehensive government policies that address the specific needs of families left behind. Community level awareness is necessary to educate the people regarding the challenges faced by left behind spouses and to dispel the negative stereotypes pertaining to foreign labour migration. It is necessary to consider the diverse challenges associated with left behind children.

Abstract: Organizations operating under fragile contexts often struggle to uphold data quality standards due to insecurity, institutional fragmentation, and limited field access. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified these constraints. It suspended the possibility of direct verification and posed critical questions about the integrity of performance oversight. This research investigates whether remote Data Quality Assessments (DQAs) preserved accountability and verification rigor during this period of operational stress. The research adopts a qualitative case study design and analyzes the remote DQA model implemented across the USAID Somalia portfolio in 2020. The analysis relies on reporting documents, standardized templates, verification protocols, and technical feedback archives to evaluate performance across five data quality dimensions and examine the remote DQA process. It references peer-reviewed studies, donor publications, and evaluation reports from Somalia and similar fragile settings to support contextual interpretation and enable cross-case insight. The research applies thematic content analysis and triangulated document review to assess institutional behavior and the resilience of monitoring systems under constraint. The findings confirm that remote DQAs enabled continuity of oversight and preserved structured verification logic. However, performance in institutional adaptation varied. The research reveals that remote models depend heavily on partner capacity and documentation clarity. Coordination between implementing partners and sub-implementing partners emerged as a strategic determinant of remote verification success. While remote DQAs allowed accountability in non-permissive settings, they could not replicate the contextual depth and diagnostic precision of field-based assessments. The absence of observational evidence hindered the detection of informal practices and constrained verification confidence. The research concludes that remote verification models offer a viable response to operational disruption, but they cannot substitute for the comprehensiveness of hybrid approaches. Hybrid models that combine remote reviews with targeted field visits, once embedded within institutional frameworks, offer a strategic path to reinforce system resilience in fragile and constrained settings. Somalia’s experience highlights the need for donors and implementing partners to institutionalize adaptive oversight mechanisms capable of maintaining data quality under fragility and stress.

Abstract: Recently, there have been shifts in response to Christ’s resurrection. One of these shifts has to do with human validation of the reality of the total tangibility or the physical body of Christ after his resurrection. This shift brought motivations in scholarship that relate to the use of human five sense organs to establish the veracity of apostolic claim of Jesus’ resurrection. To establish the ground adduced on whether the post-resurrected body of Jesus was a real human body or that of a ghost, the paper employs the use of the five sense organs to validate the claim of the apostles, church fathers, Medieval, and Reformation thinkers. The questions this paper address are, how has the five sense organs of touch, smell, hearing, sight, and feel validated the tangibility of Jesus’ material body? Was Jesus’ resurrection real, or it was just an ancient fictional imagination by Jewish philosophers? The objective of this study is to unveil how important the human five sense organs contributed in validating the tangibility of Jesus after the resurrection. Significantly, the study seeks to establish the certainty of the event that has brought a huge suspicious challenge to both ordinary and critical thinkers on its tangibility. The quest for confirmation and validation, if explained vividly could serve as a verifier of Jesus’ resurrection, and provide a credible explanation on the reality of the resurrection that began with the apostles. To this end, a historical and theological methodology is employed to determine the truth and significance of Christ's resurrection. This study demonstrates and contributes to the ongoing discussion not only on the fact of the resurrection but also on the tangibility of Jesus’ physical appearance beyond the suspicious appearance of a deceased ghost in human history. Furthermore, the study provides vital and legitimate reasons for contemporary Christians to adhere to their long-held belief in line with biblical and theological tenets.

Abstract: In recent years, radicalization has increasingly emerged as a central concern within the study of contemporary social movements. This article investigates the radicalization of collective action as a multidimensional and evolving process within democratic societies, challenging conventional approaches that associate radicalization solely with extremism or violence. Starting from the premise that post-industrial societies are characterized by a “social movement society” in which protest is a routine feature of civic engagement, the study examines how movements can shift from moderate dissent to more radicalized forms of mobilization. To explain this transformation, the article adopts a multi-level analytical framework that integrates macro-level structural triggers, meso-level organizational dynamics, and micro-level identity and framing processes. Empirically, it draws on a multi-method research design—combining frame analysis, protest event analysis, and secondary data—to explore the evolution of a protest movement that underwent significant ideological and tactical shifts. The study highlights how discursive strategies, alliances, and socio-political environments interact to reshape protest trajectories over time. By unpacking the layered and contingent processes that drive radicalization—beyond simplistic or linear models—the article contributes to current debates on contentious politics, protest mobilization, and the challenges posed to democratic resilience. The findings emphasize the need to view radicalization not merely as a threat, but as a complex and contextually embedded phenomenon that reflects deeper tensions within modern democracies.

Abstract: The large-scale mobility of the rural population plays a significant role in shaping China’s economic and social development, highlighting the need for deeper research into its patterns and influencing factors. Based on data from China’s Seventh National Census, this study explores the spatial patterns of interprovincial migration among the rural population, taking Henan Province as a case study. Henan Province is selected because of its agricultural significance and its role as a major source of rural migrant outflow in China. By carrying out statistical analysis, spatial analysis and using a multivariate linear regression model, the study finds that the cross-provincial rural migrants from Henan Province are scattered throughout the country, but they are relatively concentrated in the eastern and southern coastal areas. Between the Sixth and Seventh National Censuses, the overall number of migrants increased significantly, while the spatial migration patterns remained largely unchanged. Meanwhile, it is found that the distance between the outflow and the inflow areas has a complex impact on interprovincial rural migration. At present, economic factors outweigh geographical distance in importance, especially given the advancements in China’s transportation infrastructure and communication technologies. Regional language differences have little impact on the rural population’s migration across the country. More importantly, the factor of migration stock primarily affects the interprovincial migration of the rural population. Migration inertia functions as a key mechanism in determining migration destination choices. Employment opportunities and wage income levels are also fundamental factors guiding rural migrants’ destination choices. These findings provide insights into understanding rural migration in urbanization and contribute to regional development policies.
