The diversification of rural activities by rural women in a bid to sustain rural households‟ livelihoods cannot be undermined. Although the rural woman, through the diversification of rural activities strives to sustain household‟s livelihood, demographic elements influence her struggle. The objective of this paper is to identify and assess such demographic aspects affecting the rural woman in Bui Division. In order to attain this set objective, a literature review in relation to the topic was carried out. This was followed by data collection from the field; it comprised of on-the-spot / participant observations, interviews and usage of questionnaires. Our respondents were 749 rural women (20 years of age and above). The results show that though, age is an important factor that influences the choice and how the diversification of rural activities is undertaken by the rural woman as evident in the field, it is apparent that „age‟ as a demographic factor does not negatively influence the rural woman‟s diversification of rural activities aim at sustaining households‟ livelihoods. About 45% of rural women who only had informal education could not effectively sustain their households‟ livelihoods by diversifying rural activities because they could neither read, write nor understand. Rural women who are unmarried and divorced negatively influence the diversification of rural activities for sustaining households‟ livelihoods as compared to married women. It has also been revealed that rural women with „large‟ size households effectively carry out diversification for sustaining livelihoods than those with „small‟ size households.

The gap between knowledge and application has long been a widely-discussed topic in Taiwan, and finding solutions thus remains critical in the academic field. With the educational experiment on the upswing, integrating internships into regular college courses has demonstrated itself to be an effective way of closing that gap. With 37 participants taking an internship course called Bilingual Education in a local university in Taiwan, this empirical study covered a 20-week class experiments under the monitoring of action research in 2017. Surveys are administered to elicit the information about the relationships between the implementation of the internship management platform and the students’ reactions. The result shows that 3 out of the 5 paths calculated by the statistic tool are significant (*** 0.001). Students’ self-concept toward the subject, the implementation of the internship management platform, and internship outcome positively affect each other, but students’ English learning emotions, self-concept toward the subject, and internship outcome do not significantly affect each other. It suggests that the internship management platform plays an essential role in promoting students’ self-concept toward the subject and internship outcome. This study provides a new perspective on how college internships can be used as highly credible indicators of student’s learning outcome.

The Shari’ah controversy is an issue that is burning in the hearts of many Nigerians, as they express their opinions in books, newspapers, magazines, Mosques, Churches and many other sources of disseminating ideas and beliefs. Most Christians seem to be antagonists and viewed Muslims as protagonists of Shari’ah through their opinions. This has a negative impact on Muslim-Christian relations and peaceful co-existence in the country. The Shari’ah in Nigeria has a long history dating back to the fifteenth century when Rumfa, the Emir of Kano introduced it and the Mais of Borno (Emperors of Borno Empire) institutionalized Islam as state religion with Shari’ah as a legal code. This study examines the controversies over the implementation of Shari’ah legal system and how the issue of Shari’ah affects MuslimChristian relations and peaceful co-existence in Nigeria. The paper begins with conceptual discussion about Shari’ah. This is followed by an account of the history of Shari’ah in Nigeria, colonialism and Shari’ah as well as the bases for Christians‟ antipathy of Shari’ah implementation in Nigeria. The paper also discusses the impact of Christian perception of Shari’ah on Muslim-Christian relations and finally makes a conclusion.

The data obtained also showed that implementing Directed Reading Thinking Activity with Vee diagram significantly affected students’ reading skill.It could be inferred that as long as cognitive skill was activated by Directed Reading Thinking Activity with Vee diagram, students’ reading skill will be higher since reading is a cognitive process in which the students have to increase their cognitive aspect into (C5) synthesis and (C4) analyze in order to be able not only to understandbut also to interpret the text well.

Law enforcement by deliberation and consensus or Restorative Justice System conducted by the Police and Community Partnership Forum is another police effort in law enforcement beyond the law enforcement in conformity through the District Court. Problems reviewed: 1) What is the legal aspect of the Police and Community Partnership Forum? 2) What is the benefit of the implementation of a criminal case settlement through Deliberation and Consensus or Restorative Justice for society and the State? 3) What are the obstacles faced by the process? The research that the authors do is a sociological law study and the approaches used include actual daily practice approaches or empirical statutes, conceptual approaches and comparative approaches. The deliberative and consensus-based policy on the settlement of criminal disputes in Indonesia has not been largely regulated while most of the settlement of criminal disputes are resolved conspicuously through the general criminal court of the District Court. However, in daily practice in the Semarang city community, there is a criminal dispute settlement through the deliberative and consensus process / Restorative Justice that is pioneered by the Police and Community Partnership Forum. Restorative Justice's policy in criminal cases has not been set in Indonesia's positive law, but the future will show the development and attention of Restorative Justice as an alternative judiciary, evidenced by its accommodation in the judicial law of a child. The conclusion is that in real life practice there has been a criminal case settlement through the "Restorative Justice System" pioneered by the Police and Community Partnership Forum, this is a manifestation of the practice of Pancasila values.
