A Qualitative Assessment of Paid Employment and Empowerment of Women Tea Plantation Workers | Chapter 11 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 6

This exploratory research uses a skills approach to determine the empowerment of female tea garden workers. Employers prefer women to pick tea leaves because they are more professional and less costly than men. This research is being carried out in Dholdoli, a tea estate in Sylhet. Empowerment is found to be positive in the majority of cases, according to this report. Apart from reviewing applicable literature and previous research papers, the study relies heavily on primary field data. The qualitative data for this analysis was gathered through an in-depth interview method of research. The tea garden has been carefully chosen. The study included a range of research participants, including employees, management staffs, employers, union representatives, consumers, and other local stakeholders, in order to collect qualitative data. The research will predominantly concentrate on in-depth interviewing strategies. The results indicate that the majority of respondents have power over their own income (including spending and saving), but since they are paid in limited amounts, they are unable to save much. They also articulate very clearly that they have a say in their child's education, family planning, and other social and political issues. They can vote in their local panchayet or even national elections without the participation of a male family member. Female workers have some decision-making authority, but they are unable to monitor the situation and gain their rights. As a result, this study illustrates that women's employment does not guarantee their full empowerment. Other social variables must be addressed in order to comprehend empowerment.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...

Empowerment and Leader Member Exchange towards Organizational Citizenship Behavior Readiness among Government Workforce in Malaysia | Book Publisher International

  State agencies are among the most significant entities that represent the public's needs, and their programmes are essential to a state's and the nation's economic growth and development. State agencies have been rife by public concerns for years, as demonstrated by the Public Complaints Bureau, as problems of inefficiency in service quality and delivery have yet to meet the public's standards. With the support of 15 employees from state agencies on Malaysia's east coast, this study aims to achieve three targets. The first and second objectives are to investigate the ties between leader-member exchange (LMX) and OCB empowerment. The final aim is to define the most significant factors that affect OCB willingness. A total of 288 people took part in the survey, which was conducted using a cluster sampling process. The survey items had achieved the necessary reliability, according to the pilot test results, and some sub-dimensions were renamed after factor analysis. ...
