Self Redevelopment of Housing Societies

Around three percent of Pune city’s land possesses half the slum population. This glaring inequality is dominant at a socio-spatial level. The failure of government-incentivized market solutions to resolve the affordable housing crisis (like the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna) is evident across Pune, except in a handful of projects. This research plans to investigate the lesser known examples in Pune, where communities have mobilized themselves to become housing providers, as a response to these market failures. A social innovation in itself, the process of Self Redevelopment involves communities coming together, registering themselves as a cooperative housing society, acquiring land and being at the forefront. Through a case by case analysis of scattered attempts of self-redevelopment in Pune, and a comparative analysis, we argue the presence and role of multiple stakeholders—like the State, private players, NGOs, activists, academicians, and certainly, the users—without whom this community-led execution shall be impossible. We hypothesize that, slum development/ redevelopment/ up gradation is successful only in places where users have been an integral part of the decision-making process.

Recognizable proof of WSSV envelope proteins associated with shrimp diseases

White spot disorder infection (WSSV) is a significant shrimp microbe causing huge financial misfortunes. While trying to recognize the envelope proteins associated with infection contamination, antisera against six WSSV envelope proteins were utilized in balance measures led in vivo. The results showed that the infectious disease could be fundamentally postponed or killed by antibodies against three WSSV envelope proteins (VP68, VP281, and VP466). This balance was additionally affirmed by quantitative PCR. It very well may be inferred that the viral envelope proteins VP68, VP281, and VP466 assumed parts in WSSV disease to shrimp.

Traumas of armed conflict: a case study of child soldiers in Uganda

Children are the most endangered victims of intractable conflicts. Wherein almost 50 million children have been victim to forced displacement from their families and homes and are subjected to exploitation, forced labor as well as recruitment in the armed forces. The deployment of children as soldiers in armed conflict to commit acts of violence is a grave violation of Human Rights. Mostly these Children are recruited to wage battles and to carry out acts of violence. While the rest of them are engaged as cooks, messengers, porters, spies, and sexual slaves. It was in the year 2017 that the ‘List of Shame’ published by the UN Secretary-General include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen whereby the state forces are involved in the recruitment of child soldiers. While in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanmar nonstate actors such as Mai Mai Natura and Kachin Independence Army recruit children as soldiers respectively. According to the United Nations List of Shame, almost 43 state forces train and recruit Child Soldiers and almost 56 nonstate actors are involved in the recruitment of child soldiers. Over the span of the last five decades Uganda has undergone one of the deadliest civil wars in human history within the African continent. In this context what needs to be noted is the fact that Northern Uganda has witnessed civil war at the dawn of 1980 marked by the displacement of almost 4,00,000 people from their homes. With the establishment of Lord’s Republican Army by Joseph Kony in the year 1987 there was an unprecedented increase in the acts of violence marked by, a series of bombings taking place in Kampala. Most of the children fell prey to this civil unrest serving either as porters or fighters to Lord’s Republican Army and Allied Democratic forces. Thus, this paper seeks to examine the psychological impact and the reintegration process of Child Soldiers of Uganda.
