Abstract:
The bride price, as a deeply influential marriage custom rooted in traditional Chinese society, is an important and indispensable procedure in the process of marriage conclusion. The existence of bride price in the rural society is not wrong, but the high bride price has brought many inconveniences to the farmers’ life. This paper selects X village in south Henan as the research object, and conducts an in-depth investigation on the marriage culture of the village by using literature research and interview method, and makes a detailed interpretation of the bride price and wedding customs in the village, analyzes the inevitability of the existence of “high bride price”, and then concludes that the imbalance of the gender ratio of marriageable men and women, the change of the main body to which the bride price belongs, the parents’ The four reasons for this are: the imbalance in the gender ratio of marriageable men and women, the change in the main body of the bride price, the unlimited parental support, and the influence of “face” of rural people. “As a prevalent phenomenon, we should deal with it rationally and find appropriate ways to curb the high bride price.

Abstract:
One example of the living Qur’an and hadith are found in South Borneo. Living Qur’an and hadith refers to various ways in which this scriptures are practiced in Muslim daily live. In South Borneo, this deals with the phenomenon of memorizing the Qur’an as a bride-price (jujuran) for marriage among the Banjarese people. This tradition has been practiced for various reasons. Using phenomenological method, this study records the views of the people peforming this tradition and attempts to explain its practice and meaning. This study reveals that jujuran is an acculturation of the Qur’an with the local tradition. The people believe in the power of the Qur’an and make this to bless their important life cycle, such as marriage. The jujuran reflects various reasons, ranging from groom’s seriousness to memorize the Qur’an and to marry and the best award for brides. However, most do not know the authoritative tradition from the Prophet regarding the bride-price of memorizing the Qur’an but are inspired by popular literature and novel that contain stories of the Qur’an as bride-price.

Abstract:
Buchi Emecheta’s novel The Bride Price is examined for its overall literary strength, and particularly for its use of syncretism. Her work is compared with that of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, and it is concluded that both writers assist us in understanding today’s African diaspora. In addition, it is argued that several key passages in Bride Price are resonant for their extensive use of metonymy, and that Emecheta’s writing exhibits strong strands of the postcolonial, including the trope that the female body can be the site of multiple instantiations of hegemony and dominance.

Abstract:
The Bride Price is one of the most influential modern novels authored by Buchi Emecheta through which the voice of a female character is expressed. The study has two points of discussion: the first deals with patriarchal society in which women suffer and become the only victims, and the second does with African culture from which Emecheta criticizes severely. Men have all the powers in controlling the whole family. The traditional society of Africa follows their culture as it is especially in paying the bride from the groom’s family. The paper aims at both men and women to keep this belief for the rest of their life no matter how modern the society has become. To some extent, the idea of “double colonization” proposed by Peterson and Rutherford (1986) will be identified in the paper and further explanation will be given. The paper also is an attempt to analyze the reflection of the African system related to marriage in the novel; as similar idea can be found in Iraqi Kurdistan that would be counted as the main objective behind writing the current paper. Furthermore, it shows some cultural similarities between both countries. By applying “double colonization” theory, the researcher confirms that Emecheta’s female characters suffer a traumatic experience in which they are controlled by two colonizers: the power of males and the reality of colonization. The researcher tries to send his messages through this paper out to avoid such conflicts and spread self and cultural awareness among the society.

Abstract:
This paper sought to examine the role of bride price on the state of marriage among the Dagara of North-West Ghana. In the face of increasing scarcity of the items used in marriage in the study area, getting bride price has become a daunting task for many young men preparing to marry or already in marriage with consequences on the legitimacy and stability of families. Through purposive sampling, 5 FGDs and 9 personal interviews were conducted to obtain experiential information on bride price and state of marriage. The study revealed that the role of families, payback norms and incorporation (as part of bride price payment) are clear structures that have positive consequences for the stability of marriage; weakening potentially destabilising factors such as spousal abuse and the extra-marital sexual activities of men. Interestingly, the type and amount of items used for bride price have so much social and cultural significance that formal education and modernity has so far failed to completely change this practice among the people. The preceding allows us to conclude that the Dagara of Buo community are an epainogamous people, with societally supported marital norms and systems leading to marital stability. We recognise however that stability and longevity of marriage does not necessarily mean that spouses are ‘happy and content’ with their marriage. This is a relevant question that our current study did not explore. Thus, we recommend that a future quantitative study examine the relationship between marital stability and spousal ‘happiness and contentment.’

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper explores the origins of debate regarding bride price (Rus. kalym) among the Buryats in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as expressed in literary texts and media reports. Buryats began denouncing the practice after the mid nineteenth century, when bride price became more monetised and burdensome for ordinary families arranging marriages for their sons. Progressive, literate Buryats proposed a new approach to marriage and women's roles, based on romantic affinity instead of economic interests. The debate moved community meetings (suglans) to literature and the stage at around the turn of the twentieth century. During the early Soviet era, bride price continued to be denounced by Buryat writers, though it had become increasingly rare. Kalym was transformed into a symbol for women's oppression in general, and a means for demarcating the backwards Buryat past from the progressive Soviet future.

Abstract:
Inter-tribal clashes have emerged to be one of the biggest contributors to rampant insecurity witnessed in South Sudan and in Jonglei state the clashes revolve around cattle rustling. Efforts to quell the violence from government, the international community, religious movements, and other South Sudan national organizations have not yielded significant fruit yet. This qualitative case study research explores the underlying manifestation of the conflicts among three communities Nuer, Murle and Dinka, who live in Jonglei. The main objective was to explore the changing context of cattle rustling and understand the effects of conflicts related to cattle raiding in Jonglei. The approach of the dissertation is unique in that it examines both historical and current trends in cattle rustling to create a better understanding of the conflict situation. The dissertation focuses on Jonglei state because it has produced the highest number of conflicts related to cattle raiding.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the competition structure in the market for crossing Øresund and which price setting techniques are used. The results show that the market for crossing Øresund Bridge is monopolistically competitive market. While Øresund Bridge can in some cases be seen as a monopoly. Furthermore the results show how the firms that are operating in the market offer their consumers various pricing schedules to self-select from. The results based upon the information collected found that Øresund Bridge uses price discriminatory pricing schedules such as two-part tariff, quantity discount and peak-load pricing. According to the theory of price discrimination the firm needs to have market power in order to price discriminate and it is found that Øresund Bridge have a market share of 76%. The negative consequences of price discrimination in the particular market can mostly be seen in the ferry market where the two largest firms have to start collaborating in order to sustain as a part of the market. The positive consequences is found to be that a wider range of consumer groups are able to travel over Øresund due to the extensive range of different prices offered by the market operators.

Abstract:
En Afrique de l'Ouest, le mariage est une institution sociale majeure. Au Sénégal par exemple, en 2006, près de 90% des femmes de plus de 25 ans ont un jour été mariées. C'est aussi un bouleversement majeur dans la vie quotidienne, surtout pour la mariée qui, dans la plupart des cas, quitte le foyer dans lequel elle a grandi. Une autre caractéristique importante du mariage en Afrique de l'Ouest est qu'il implique un grand nombre d'acteurs : non seulement le couple mais aussi leurs parents et la famille étendue. La cérémonie se caractérise en outre par d'importants échanges financiers, entre différentes personnes : familles de la mariée, du marié et des voisins. Ces différentes caractéristiques peuvent être étudiées en regard de leur lien avec le bien-être des femmes au sein de leur ménage. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'ajouter à l'étude du sujet.Dans le premier chapitre, nous nous demandons si les parents sont incités à marier leurs enfants à un membre de la famille afin de mieux s'assurer contre les chocs de revenu idiosyncrasiques défavorables.A partir des données originales d'un panel de ménages recueillies au Sénégal en 2006/2007 et 2011/2012, nous constatons que le mariage intrafamilial des filles aide le ménage de leurs parents à mieux lisser la consommation alimentaire lorsqu'un parent est tombé malade, notamment parce que ces ménages reçoivent relativement plus de transferts. Nos résultats indiquent que la demande d'assurance des parents peut expliquer en partie le mariage endogame de leur fille. Ils étendent la littérature sur les liens entre les décisions de mariage et la demande d'assurance. Le deuxième chapitre examine l'impact d'une politique éducative sur le bien-être des femmes au Bénin. Profitant de la forte augmentation des constructions scolaires dans les années 1990 dans ce pays, nous évaluons l'impact causal d'un programme d'enseignement primaire sur la fréquentation de l'école primaire, l'âge au mariage et la tolérance à la violence conjugale. En utilisant une méthode de double différence et un modèle de régression sur "kink", nous constatons que le programme a augmenté la probabilité de fréquenter l'école primaire dans les zones rurales. La politique a également réduit la probabilité de trouver que les coups infligés à l'épouse sont tolérables. Nous montrons que, dans ce contexte, les avantages de l'éducation des filles se sont répercutés sur le bien-être des femmes au-delà de l'objectif initial de la politique. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous examinons la relation entre la compensation matrimoniale et le bien-être de l'épouse dans son ménage. Nous tenons compte de l'existence simultanée d'autres paiements de mariage, qui vont dans des directions différentes entre les parties prenantes, et qui sont largement ignorés. Nous utilisons une enquête unique en son genre qui s'interroge séparément sur les différentes prestations matrimoniales. Nous soulignons la force du lien entre ce qui est donné à la mariée elle-même et son bien-être, contrairement au lien ténu avec ce qui est donné à la famille
In West Africa, marriage is a major social institution. In Senegal, for example, in 2006, nearly 90% of women over 25 years of age were once married. It represents also a major disruption the daily life, especially for the bride, who in most cases leaves the household in which she grew up. Another important feature of marriage in West Africa is that it involves a large set of actors: not only the couple but also their parents and extended family. The ceremony is also characterized by important financial exchanges, between different people: the bride's, groom's and neighbours' families. These stylized facts can be examined in terms of their relationship to women's well-being within their households. The objective of this thesis is to add to the study of the subject.In the first chapter, we consider whether parents have incentives to marry their children to a member of the kin group in order to better insure against adverse idiosyncratic income shocks.Exploiting original panel data from a household survey collected in Senegal in 2006/2007 and 2011/2012, we find that daughters' within-kin-group marriage helps their parents' household to better smooth food consumption when a parent has fallen ill.This better smoothing is notably driven by the fact that households having married a daughter within the kin group receive relatively more transfers. Our results indicate that parents' demand for insurance can explain part of their demand for marrying within the kin group their daughter. They extend the literature on inter-linkages between marriage decisions and demand for insurance. The second chapter examines the impact of an education policy on women's well-being in Benin. Taking advantage of a sharp increase in school constructions in the 1990s in this country, we assess the causal impact of a primary education program on primary school attendance, age at marriage and tolerance of intimate partner violence. Using a double difference method, along with a regression kink design, we find that the program increased the probability to attend primary school in rural areas. The policy also decreased the probability to find wife beating tolerable. We show that, in this context, the benefits of girls' education have percolated down to women's well-being beyond the initial goal of the policy. In the third chapter, we investigate the relationship between the bride price and the well-being of the wife in her household. We take into account, the simultaneous existence of other marriage payments, flowing in different directions between the stakeholder, that is largely ignored. To assess the impacts of these marital transferson the women's well-being in Senegal, we use a unique survey that enquires separately about the different marriage payments. We highlight the strength of the link between what is given to the bride herself and her welfare, contrary to the looseness of the link with what is given to the family

Abstract:
Les ponts sont des structures destinées au franchissement des obstacles et ayant généralement une portée plus large que ces obstacles. Ils jouent un rôle clé dans le trafic terrestre. Le béton précontraint est largement utilisé dans la construction des ponts. Cependant, vu les échanges de masse avec l’environnement (eau, CO2 et autres agents chimiques ...), les armatures de précontrainte ont tendance à se corroder. Comme le produit corrodé a un volume plus important que le matériau sain, la corrosion peut provoquer des fissurations dans les enrobages en béton, et par conséquence, la dégradation de la structure et sa capacité de la résistance. La sécurité et la durabilité de la structure sont alors menacées. La présente étude a été menée pour bien comprendre et bien maîtriser cette pathologie dans les structures en béton précontraint. On étudiera la capacité de résistance de poutres en béton précontraint en prenant en compte l’influence de la corrosion. Ce mémoire est composé de 6 chapitres. D’abord, une analyse bibliographique est menée dans le premier chapitre. Puis, dans le chapitre deux, la relation entre l’ouverture des fissures et le taux de remplissage du produit corrodé dans les fissures a été établie par une approche expérimentale, notamment par l'essai de corrosion accélérée. Cette équation empirique est validée par des données expérimentales. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que le taux de remplissage du produit de corrosion a un fort lien avec l’ouverture de la fissure, jusqu'à une valeur critique. Lorsque l’armature transversale est utilisée, l’ouverture critique diminue de 20% par rapport au cas sans armature transversale. Ensuite, dans le chapitre trois, l'influence du niveau de précontrainte sur l’ouverture de fissuration est étudiée à la fois par des approches expérimentales et analytiques. On présentera d’abord les essais de corrosion accélérée sur des poutres avec différents niveaux de précontrainte. Puis un modèle analytique prenant en compte les effets couplés de la précontrainte et de la corrosion des armatures, est proposé pour prédire le processus global de fissuration de l’enrobage. Les résultats montrent que la précontrainte peut accélérer le processus de fissuration induit par la corrosion. En faisant varier la précontrainte de 0 à 75% de la résistance d’armature, le temps correspondant à l’amorçage de fissuration diminue de 22% et le taux de propagation de la fissure augmente de 9%. Dans le chapitre quatre, un modèle est proposé pour prédire la perte de précontrainte à cause de la corrosion dans les poutres en béton précontraint. Des essais de flexion à quatre points ont été réalisés sur huit poutres en béton précontraint sous différents niveaux de précontrainte, avec des armatures corrodées. Les résultats expérimentaux sont utilisés pour valider le modèle proposé. La chute de précontrainte dans les poutres et la résistance mécanique ont un fort lien avec la corrosion. Lorsque le niveau de corrosion est inférieur à 6,6%, il n’y a pas de perte de résistance significative. Puis, avec l’augmentation du taux de corrosion, la résistance des liaisons béton-armature et la précontrainte effective diminuent progressivement, jusqu'à zéro lorsque le niveau de corrosion atteint 34%. Finalement, dans le cinquième chapitre, un modèle analytique pour prédire la résistance en flexion de poutres en béton précontraint corrodées a été proposé. Dans ce modèle, la réduction de la section d’armature, la détérioration des matériaux, la fissuration du béton et la dégradation des liaisons entre béton et armature ont été pris en compte. Le modèle proposé est validé par les résultats expérimentaux. A partir de 5,5%, la résistance en flexion a été fortement perturbée par la corrosion d’armature. Le dernier chapitre présente les conclusions générales et les perspectives
Bridges, as the structures built to cross obstacles and generally has a relative larger span, play a key role in the road traffic. Pre-tensioned concrete structure is widely used in the bridge construction due to its superiority and advantages. However, with the mass exchange of its environment (water, CO2 and other chemical agents), the prestressing strand would be easy to corrode. Strand corrosion can cause concrete cracking, degrade the bond performance at the strand-concrete interface, lead to prestress loss, and deteriorate the capacity of beams. The present study mainly focuses on the concrete cracking, prestress loss and flexural capacity of pre-tensioned concrete beams after strand corrosion. The main research works are as follows: (1) The relationship between corrosion-induced crack widths and filling proportion of corrosion products has been established. The effect of stirrups on corrosion-induced cracking has also been investigated. An empirical model for crack width, considering the filling proportion of corrosion products and twisting shape of strand, is developed. The proposed model is validated by experimental data. Results show that the filling of corrosion products extends with crack propagation until a critical width. Beyond the critical width, the rust filling extent keeps stable. When the stirrups are used, the critical crack width decreases by 20%, comparing to that without stirrups. (2) The influence of prestress on the strand corrosion-induced concrete cracking is investigated by both experimental and analytical approaches. Experimental data on the critical time of cover cracking, crack width and corrosion loss obtained from the accelerated corrosion test are presented. An analytical model, incorporating the coupled effects of prestress and strand corrosion, is proposed to predict the global process of concrete cracking from initiation to propagation. Results show that prestress can accelerate the corrosion-induced cracking process. By varying prestress from 0 to 75% of strand tensile strength, the critical time of cover cracking decreases by 22% and the crack propagation rate increases by 9%. It is found that the proposed model is accurate in predicting corrosion-induced crack width in prestressed concrete beams. (3) A novel model is proposed to predict the corrosion-induced prestress loss in pre-tensioned concrete beams. The coupling effects of concrete cracking and bond degradation are included into the model. The effective prestress in eight corroded pre-tensioned concrete beams under various stress levels is conducted by the four-point flexural test. Experimental results are employed to verify the proposed model. Prestress loss in corroded pre-tensioned concrete beams depends on corrosion level. Corrosion-induced concrete cracking may not degrade bond strength and effective prestress unless the corrosion level exceeds 6.6%. As corrosion further progresses, bond strength and effective prestress reduce monotonically, and then decrease to zero when the corrosion level reaches 34.0%. (4) An analytical model, incorporating the effects of strand cross-section reduction, material deterioration, concrete cracking and bond degradation, is developed to predict the flexural capacity of corroded prestressed concrete beams. Additionally, the effects of flexural cracks are also included in the model. An equivalent bond stress concept is introduced to consider the effect of flexural cracks, which is further implemented into the flexural capacity prediction of corroded PC beams. The proposed model is validated by the experimental results collected from the previous studies. The flexural capacity deterioration of prestressed concrete beams depends on corrosion degree. Strand corrosion less than 5.5% leads to a slight decrement of flexural capacity. As corrosion progresses, the flexural capacity will exhibit a significant deterioration

Abstract:
Abstract The Hitachi MaxJet II is a unique multi-purpose combustion gun. It can be used for spraying wire but it also has the capability to spray multiple materials via-powder and powder cord form. The equipment operates using commonly available gases: compressed air, Oxygen and Propane or Mapp gas. It requires no major facility cost since it uses only a 35 cfm air compressor and 115 volt power supply. Safety is assured with a safety purge system, separation of electrical and gases systems and flash back arresters. The small compact system weighs less than two hundred pounds, which makes it easily movable for on site work. It’s low capital investment and high quality coatings with low porosity and excellent bond strengths. The electronic pusher type wire feed provides consistent feed rates for a large variety of wires and wire sizes (1/16”, 1/8”, and 3/16”). The spray gun weighs only three pounds and can be mounted on a robot or used for hand spray applications. It functions well in a shop environment or onsite spraying of bridge components.

Abstract:
<p>The 12.9km long Confederation Bridge, connecting Prince Edward Island with mainland New Brunswick, Canada, utilizes 162 pot bearings to accommodate movement. Some bearings have been instrumented for up to 20 years to study displacement demands and bearing response under traffic, daily thermal cycles, seasonal thermal cycles, and during extreme wind events and temperatures of -20C. The effect of bearing response while sea ice crushes against bridge piers is also assessed.<p>In 2017, two pot bearings were removed from service and each component was thoroughly assessed. Besides wear of the PTFE, the remaining service life of the bearing is estimated at least another 20 years.

Abstract:
We consider the problem of allocating scarce security resources among heterogeneous targets to thwart a possible attack. It is well known that deterministic solutions to this problem being highly predictable are severely suboptimal. To mitigate this predictability, the game-theoretic security game model was proposed which randomizes over pure (deterministic) strategies, causing confusion in the adversary. Unfortunately, such mixed strategies typically involve randomizing over a large number of strategies, requiring security personnel to be familiar with numerous protocols, making them hard to operationalize. Motivated by these practical considerations, we propose an easy to use approach for computing strategies that are easy to operationalize and that bridge the gap between the static solution and the optimal mixed strategy. These strategies only randomize over an optimally chosen subset of pure strategies whose cardinality is selected by the defender, enabling them to conveniently tune the trade-off between ease of operationalization and efficiency using a single design parameter. We show that the problem of computing such operationalizable strategies is NP-hard, formulate it as a mixed-integer optimization problem, provide an algorithm for computing epsilon-optimal equilibria, and an efficient heuristic. We evaluate the performance of our approach on the problem of screening for threats at airport checkpoints and show that the Price of Usability, i.e., the loss in optimality to obtain a strategy that is easier to operationalize, is typically not high.

Abstract:
Relevant research has demonstrated that more potential benefits can be achieved when energy and information are transacted and exchanged locally among different energy consumers. With increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs), various models and solution strategies have been developed for collaboration between building and EV charging station to achieve greater energy efficiency. However, most of the existing research employs centralized decision model which is time consuming for large scale problems and cannot protect private information for each participator. To bridge these research gaps, a guided particle swarm optimizer based distributed decision approach is proposed to study the energy transaction between building and EV charging station. In the proposed decision approach, the marginal price signal of transactive energy is collected to guide iterative direction of particle’s velocity and position which can maximally protect private information of building and EV charging station. A study case based on a commercial building and a nearby charging station in Chicago area is designed for illustration. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed marginal price guided particle swarm optimizer is more stable and efficient comparing with canonical particle swarm optimizer and two state-of-the-art distributed decision algorithms.

Child marriage briefing: Mali. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy19.1002.

Full text
Abstract:
This brief provides an overview of child marriage as well as the particulars of child marriage in Mali. Mali is home to 11.6 million people, with 47 percent of its population under age 15. Approximately 73 percent of the population live on less than US$1 a day, and life expectancy is 45 years. Mali has one of the most severe crises of child marriage in the world today. The legal age of marriage is 18 for girls and 21 for boys, but girls may be married as early as age 15 with parental consent. For civil marriages, the law dictates that prospective spouses discuss and agree on whether their union will be polygynous or monogamous; however, a woman’s say in the matter is minimal given her limited options. The payment of bride price is recognized by law, promoting the perception that wives are the property of husbands. In addition, female genital circumcision affects nearly all Malian women, with 61 percent of circumcisions occurring before age 5. Included in this brief are recommendations to promote later, chosen, and legal marriage.
