The Romans identified East Africa as Azania. The Chinese as Zezan. The metropolis of Rhapta was indicated to be the capital of Azania. In recent times a controversy emerged as to the location of Azania and Rhapta. A discussion has also occurred regarding the kind of people who settled in Azania. Whereas some scholars agree that the core of Azania was in East Africa modern, the geographical extent of Azania is in question. Archaeological, historical, and linguistic data have been used to suggest Azania extended from the coast of East Africa to the Great Lakes region, central Africa and South Africa. It is also argued that the people of Azania were Bantu speakers who were farming and smelting iron. It is therefore justifiable for the people of the larger region of South Africa to East Africa to name themselves Azanians.

This study tries to find out the extent of coverage and treatment given to rural news in national dailies of Delhi. Through content analysis the researcher tries to find out the coverage of rural news in two national dailies of Delhi, one Hindi and one English, namely, Dainik Jagran and The Hindu, respectively with comparative analysis. Print media specially the newspaper is one of the important tools to communicate about development information to the rural population. How far newspapers are catering to the informational needs of the rural folk is under scrutiny. The content analysis of the two leading newspapers of Delhi have depicted a dismal picture in coverage of development stories and news related to rural areas. Rural news hardly appears in newspapers and few news items reported in inner pages of the newspaper by the reporters. The maximum rural news published in newspapers is not related to rural development; it is only concerned with accidents, crime and politics. Far from balance between urban and rural reporting, there is negilisable reporting about rural areas. Thus, only focus newspapers have is on urban elite, hence the development cycle is hampered resulting in the gap between the rural and urban India in achieving development. Rural keeps on remaining the same underdeveloped, laid back or deprive; the first step towards bridging this gap would be equal or due coverage and information access to rural areas, it's high time newspapers take this responsibility seriously.

Persistent hiring discrimination as demonstrated by correspondence experiments incites immigrant job candidates and their descendants to modify their résumé to hide their immigrant status, that is, résumé whitening. To date, we have little to no empirical evidence on how common this is in practice. We test the extent of résumé whitening with a representative survey of immigrants in Switzerland (N = 7659). Around 9% of the immigrants used some résumé whitening. Immigrants appear to use résumé whitening strategically when experiencing or anticipating discrimination. Future correspondence experiments should take this into account to maximize external validity.

Employee participation is an important element of the European Social Model and this paper focuses on the extent of the different forms of participation - representative participation; direct participation; and financial participation, as measured in the European Foundation's EPOC survey. The paper examines the findings on these different types of participation separately and finally compares the levels of participation by combining all three systems. By taking this approach, important differences were found across the ten countries surveyed, with Sweden showing the strongest implementation of all types of participation, while Portugal is the weakest, in particular in representation participation arrangements. The paper indicates that there is a wide gap between the desired objective of the European Social Model and the practice of participation in Europe.
