“…the diminished capacity of an individual or group to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from the impact of a natural or man-made hazard (Kasi and Saha 2019). It is also possible to view vulnerability as an internal risk factor of the subject or a system that is exposed to a hazard and corresponds to its intrinsic tendency to be affected, or susceptible to damage.…”

On 14 March 2019, Zimbabwe was hit by Cyclone Idai, leaving immeasurable destruction of unprecedented magnitude in its wake. In Chimanimani District, many lives were lost, many people were reported missing, and others were displaced. The question that immediately comes to mind is: Was the country prepared to manage the Cyclone Idai disaster? Reflecting on the community experiences, the purpose of this research was to interrogate the strength of the disaster risk reduction legislation and institutions in Zimbabwe in the face of meteorological hazards. The research also evaluated the extent of the impact Cyclone Idai had on the Chimanimani communities and the factors that increased the vulnerability to the cyclone. A mixed method approach that involved 1180 participants was used. The study found that disaster risk management legislation and institutions in Zimbabwe are weak. Cyclone Idai resulted in the loss of many human lives, loss of livelihoods, and massive damage to infrastructure. The cyclone exposed capacity and policy gaps in Zimbabwe’s disaster risk management system. The study makes a number of recommendations, including strengthening disaster legislation and policy, and disaster risk governance. Given the communities’ response to the disaster occurrence, the study also recommends strengthening social capital.

“…Children’s situations may also increase their risk of victimization by amplifying the perception of vulnerability (Bones, 2013). Vulnerability is defined as “the state of being faced with the possibility of being harmed or attacked physically, emotionally, or psychologically” (Kasi & Saha, 2019, p.1). Vulnerable children have a higher risk of neglect and abuse than others; therefore, they need special care, attention, and protection (Finkelhor, 1993).…”

According to the Sexual Abuse Whirlpool framework, when a vulnerable child is noticed by a perpetrator, the state of vulnerability he/she is in will reach a severe level. The SAW asserts that the method applied by the perpetrator has a multiplier effect on the child’s vulnerability and accelerates the process resulting in abuse. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the SAW and gender, type of abuse, victim-perpetrator relationship, disclosure, psychological complaints and reactions (PCRs), and revictimization of sexual abuse victims. A mixed research method was used: First, the vulnerabilities of the victims were extracted from the forensic interview forms with a qualitative method ( n = 199). Then collected data were tabulated and digitized quantitatively. Victims who were exposed to penetrative abuses, who did not disclose, had serious PCRs, and who were re-victimized had high scores of the SAW. Whirlpool would decrease in places where there is a quality parent-child relationship.

An effective classification and coding system has been designed, developed, and implemented in one of the world’s mega universities, named IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University). This system classifies and categorises the various courses of each programme depending upon the nature and description of the courses involved. A suitable and acceptable numbering convention system has been structured for the academic programmes and courses involved. The codes assigned are found to be quite versatile and helps to quickly identify the course level, discipline, and revision version, etc. Also colour codes have been provided in the coding system presented since colours are found to be the unique and commercial medium that appeals to all visually and sensitizes mind quickly and differently. The classification and coding system presented takes care of any ambiguity that may arise while providing data and information, and communicating with internal and external agencies/stakeholders that include learners, teaching, and administrative university staff. The system presented would also be quite helpful for (a) Study material printing division of the university in sorting effectively and quickly supplying the study material to the learners, and, (b) Examination division of the university in quickly and efficiently scheduling the examination datasheets without and overlapping. The classification coding system acts as an effective quality management information tool to make an informed decision to resolve the various day-today challenges in managing and monitoring the university academic programmes and courses. Further, the presented system would facilitate to improve the overall working efficiency of the university education system and help to provide quality education system to its learners.
