Academic literature on the topic 'Social transfer prog'

The urban-rural divide has to be bridged and rural areas have to be integrated with the economic processes to ensure equitable and inclusive growth of marginalized sections. Government. and NGOs have to play an important role in enhancing employment opportunities in farm and non-farm enterprises in rural areas, and should provide the necessary expertise to these areas. There are many sectors in which private players can participate to bridge this gap including providing micro finance, contract farming, setting up storage facili-ties for agro¬prod uce.Local folk could also develop heritage sites and tourist spots and encourage the promotion of traditional arts and crafts in joint ventures with rural enterprises. The next revolution that is waiting 'reaping the benefits'. We need to learn about participatory strategies, about organizing and mediating conflicting goals and needs, about technological transfer and social justice.

This article suggests ways of resolving cross-cutting legal problems (legal personhood for autonomous technical means, transparency and accountability of its functioning, allocating of liability) that arise as a result of the use of autonomous technical means (ATM) in public. The granting of legal personhood for ATM depends on the public consent and social needs, which might be caused by necessity for transfer them a certain rights in order to improve their functioning. One of the ways to grant ATMsome elements of legal personhood is to assign it the status of an agent (representative) acting on behalf of the principal (individual or legal entity). Legal regulation of ATM transparency and accountability should, on the one hand, guarantee the right of an individual to receive information about the logic of the decision made in relation to him/her, and on the other hand– not violate the right of the manufacturer/operator to the secret of production (know-how). Lability for violations committed with the participation of ATM should be assigned depending on which subject (manufacturer, operator or user) had more control over the functioning of the ATM. The above mentioned methods of regulating legal relations and special sets of legal tools are elements of the legal regime of autonomous technical means. This legal regime will determine ways of legislation development in given sphere.

This study empirically investigated public expenditure and economic development of Nigeria. To achieve this objective, relevant data used spanning from 1981-2021 were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin for the period under review. Descriptive statistics, Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) Unit root test, Granger causality and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression were the analytical tools for this study. Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) was used as the dependent variable while capital expenditure on administration, capital expenditure on economic services, capital expenditure on Social and Community Services, capital expenditure on Transfers, recurrent expenditure on administration, recurrent expenditure on economic services, recurrent expenditure on Social and Community Services, and recurrent expenditure on Transfers as the independent variables. Based on the analysis, the F-statistic of the regression output stood at 56.23992, this implies that the regression plane is statistically significant. Also, the Prob.(F-Statistic) 0.000000 is less than the 0.05 level of significance implies that there is a statistical significant relationship between the variables. R2 = 0.933599 implies that about 93.36% of the total variation in the model specified was accounted for by the independent variables. RGDP and RES are platykurtic, CSCS, RA, and RSCS are mesokurtic, and CA, CES, CSCS, CT, and RT are leptokurtic, according to the descriptive analysis, which also showed that all the variables were normally distributed; All of the variables were stationary and significant at their respective values. RGDP granger caused CA, CES, CSCS, CT, RES, RSCS, and RT, so it is unidirectional causality, however RGDP granger cause RA while RA granger cause RGDP, therefore there is bi-directional causality between the two. There is the existence of a long-run relationship between the variables as the result the Johansen co-integration test indicates six co-integration equation. Therefore, public expenditure has significant impact on economic development of Nigeria. In conclusion, public expenditure (capital and recurrent) is an important determinants of economic growth and development in Nigeria. The study recommended that Government spending if properly managed will raise the nation’s production capacity and employment, which in turn increase economic growth in Nigeria, also government should increase its expenditure on rural development, roads, water and electrification in order to accelerate the level of productivity, increase income and raise the standard of living of poor citizens in Nigeria Keywords: Real Gross Domestic Product, Administration, Economic Services, Total Social and Community Services and Total Transfers expenditures.

The XXIst IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry was chaired jointly by Profs. Masahiro Irie (Kyushu University, International Committee) and Atsuhiro Osuka (Kyoto University, Local Committee) on 2-7 April 2006 in Kyoto, the beautiful and ancient capital of Japan in the season of cherry blossoms. This series of Symposia was initiated by Prof. George S. Hammond, and the first was held in Strasbourg in 1964. Since then it has been held almost every two years, and this is the first time that it has been held outside Europe.The opening presentation of the Symposium was dedicated to the founding pioneer, Prof. Hammond, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 84. In a eulogy, Prof. David G. Whitten (University of New Mexico) paid a tribute to his memory with an account of his personality and his scientific works in photochemistry and physical organic chemistry.The scientific program of the Symposium featured 25 plenary and invited lectures, and three workshops on the topics "Organic light-emitting diodes: Present and future", "Photocatalysis: Water splitting and environmental purification", and "Photoinduced electron transfer: Present and future". In addition to 462 posters on display, 131 were selected for short oral presentations. The poster sessions were spirited, with the younger participants engaged in stimulating discussions with their more senior colleagues, and the contributions of three young authors were additionally recognized by the award of prizes. The numerous presentations reflected the broad scope and interdisciplinarity of modern photochemistry. The spectrum of topics ranged from the classical fields of inorganic, organic, physical, and theoretical chemistry, to physics, biological chemistry, and materials science. In summary, the exciting scientific program maintained the proud tradition of this series, and demonstrated that photochemistry continues to be a vivid, active, and evolving discipline, some details of which have been introduced by Prof. Jochen Mattay [Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.45, 3570 (2006)]. In addition to the scientific program, the participants and their accompanying guests enjoyed a variety of social and cultural programs provided by the Local Organizing Committee, which took full advantage of the spring season in Kyoto.A highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the Porter Medals, named for 1967 NobelLaureate, George Porter. On this occasion, two medals were awarded, to recognize the outstandingachievements of Prof. Howard E. Zimmerman (University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA), one of thefounders of modern organic photochemistry whose lifetime's work has contributed to our understandingof fundamental processes in excited states, and Prof. Hiroshi Masuhara (Osaka University, Japan)for his pioneering work on the integration of time and spatially resolved measurements on the emergingfields of nanosciences.This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry offers a representative collection of papers, based upon plenary and invited lectures by the two medallists and a number of internationally recognized scientists, who covered traditional as well as modern photochemistry, and discussed the science as well as related technologies such as materials for photonics, nanotechnology, and photobiology. This demonstrates the broadening scope of photochemistry from an initial central core toward a periphery that is increasingly interactive and interdisciplinary. As editors, we appreciate all the important contributions made by our authors and hope that this collection enables us to convey to readers some of the excitement of photochemistry and the status of recent achievements in the field.Hiroshi MiyasakaMasahiro IrieConference Editors

The paper discusses the main parameters of the labour market of the Republic of Tyva, that are the system-forming factors of the region's economy. The analysed data were obtained from the results of two empirical studies conducted in the Republic of Tyva (2019 and 2021) by the Center for the Study of Social Structure and Social Stratification of the Institute of Sociology of the FCTAS RAS under the guidance of prof. Z.T. Golenkova, PhD. These research projects were carried out in various time phases of the functioning of the Republican labour market: the pre-crisis period (2019) and the crisis period of the COVID-19 epidemic (2021). It can be said that the 2021 study was the first record of the reaction of the regional labour market to the transformation of the economic system caused by the pandemic. The pandemic most of all affected the physical condition of the population - a fifth of the respondents had been ill with COVID-19. The study did not reveal signs of large-scale social conflicts in the labour sphere. Those who lost their jobs or liquidated their business amount to no more than 6%. Neither mass layoffs of employees nor a large-scale reduction in the number of entrepreneurs took place in the region during the period of the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, the level of registered unemployment increased in 2021 compared to 2019 by almost 10%. One of the main reasons for the growth of this indicator, as the authors believe, is the significantly increased volume of social transfers for officially registered unemployed during this period. The article also provides quantitative indicators of the labour market and compares the key indicators of the labour market model in dynamics - the level of economic activity, employment and unemployment (official and unregistered). Particular attention is paid to assessing the prevalence of various types of informal employment. It is shown that the entrepreneurial initiative of the population is a kind of guarantor of the desired level of material income, orientation towards anti-paternalistic attitudes. The authors also made an attempt to calculate the total pool of the most active labour market actors and their adaptation strategies. The authors come to the conclusion that the market model has demonstrated sustainability and stability in response to the external impacts of the crisis.

A great number of novel Ukrainian technologies are used by industrial and commercial structures with the vio- lation of intellectual property rights of their authors. There are about 10 managers per one promising scientifi c idea in the developed countries, while this proportion is inverse for Ukraine: on average there is one manager per ten ideas. As a result less than 4 % of Ukrainian enterprises are active innovation-wise and over 80 % of scientifi c and technical products are non-demanded. This situation is conditioned by the development specifi ci- ties of the domestic market economy, based on trade and fi nancial transactions instead of research intensity of the production. The current state of things does not meet the requirements of the innovation-driven growth and makes wide use of modern scientifi c achievement in the agriculture impossible. Aim. To study current prob- lems of introducing the promising technological solutions into the agriculture. To recommend the mechanism of transferring scientifi c research results into production using the example of Bioenergetic Agroecosystems pilot project. To suggest the scheme of coordinating the interests of economic entities while introducing scien- tifi c research results into the production. Methods. The following approaches were used to achieve the above- mentioned aims: abstract and logical method, synthesis, analysis, and induction methods. Results. Financial, economic, and legal aspects of the innovation market were considered. Based on the domestic and foreign ana- logues of establishing the existing science parks, the mechanism of transferring scientifi c research and devel- opment in the agrarian science into production was presented. The Bioenergetic Agroecosystems pilot project was used to suggest the industrial and organizational structure of the science park. The scheme of coordinating the interests of scientifi c research institutions, the agricultural producers and the state in the development of the market of innovation products in the agrarian sector of economy was elaborated. Conclusions. The realization of novel scientifi c decisions in the production should be provided by the following means: operating mecha- nisms of their stimulation on the state level, the improvement in the qualifi cation level of scientists towards the transfer of scientifi c research and development and the elaboration of the communication infrastructure in the information support of the industry. The creation of a science park is the way of uniting the scientifi c and industrial potential into the single system of effi cient ecological land use and the example of solving economic, ecological and social issues.

The 7th IUPAC International Conference on Heteroatom Chemistry (ICHAC-7) was held in Shanghai, China, on 21-25 August 2004. This conference was co-organized by Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS); Chinese Chemical Society; Shanghai Society of Chemistry and Chemical Industry; and State Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry and State Key Laboratory of Elemento-organic Chemistry. Three hundred participants attended the conference, with about 150 attendants from 23 different countries other than China. The scientific program consisted of 8 plenary lectures, 1 keynote lecture, 38 invited lectures, 56 p, and 120 posters. This conference focused on the following 6 major themes:- Organocatalysis- Heteroatom chemistry directed toward organic synthesis- Mechanistic and structural aspect of heteroatom chemistry- New heteroatom-containing materials- Biologically relevant heteroatom chemistry- Supramolecular chemistry of heteroatom.All the lecture sessions were held in Everbright Exhibition Center. The following highlighted lectures are representative of the quality of material presented at the conference:- Robert R. Holmes, University of Massachusetts, "Phosphoryl transfer enzymes and hypervalentphosphorus chemistry"- Christopher A. Reed, University of California at Riverside, "Strongest but gentlest: New acids fororganic and inorganic chemistry"- Xiyan Lu, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, CAS, "Synthetic methodologies using tertiaryphosphines as nucleophilic catalysts"- Tetsuo Otsubo, Hiroshima University, "Functional oligothiophenes as advanced molecular electronicsmaterials"- Dao-Ben Zhu, Institute of Chemistry, CAS, "Recent advances of molecular material in theOrganic Solid Laboratory, CAS"- Ian Manners, University of Toronto, "Catalytic routes to rings, chains, and macromolecules basedon inorganic elements"- Masaaki Yoshifuji, Tohuku University, "Recent develpments in the chemistry of low-coordinatedorganophosphorus compounds"- Peter Jutzi, University of Bielefeld, "Cyclopentadienyl and ferrocenyl chemistry of some p-blockelements"- Andreas Pfaltz, University of Basel, "Design of heterocyclic ligands for asymmetric catalysis"The organizers also prepared a series of rich social programs for the participants of the conference, which included a welcome party and a city sightseeing tour of Shanghai. ICHAC-7 was a fruitful meeting for all participants, in particular, the young scientists and students who found a world forum to present and discuss their results, meet scientists from other countries, exchange experiences, and socialize with scientists from all fields of heteroatom chemistry. Many of these contacts have led to new cooperation and exchanges among students and young and senior scientists. In addition to the lectures in this issue, six lectures of this conference have been documented in the Chinese Journal of Chemistry, Vol. 23, Nos. 8,9 (2005).The 8th IUPAC International Conference on Heteroatom Chemistry will be held in 2007 in Riverside, CA and will be hosted by Prof. Christopher A. Reed of the University of California at Riverside.Xiaoyu HuangConference Editor

The XXIVth IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry was held in the old university city of Coimbra, Portugal from 15 to 20 July 2012, and welcomed 640 participants from 53 countries presenting their research on this important area of chemistry. This series of meetings started in Strasbourg in July 1964 as the International Symposium on Organic Photochemistry, organized by George Hammond and J. Levisalles. Subsequent symposia have seen the meeting expand to embrace all areas of photochemistry. The program topics of the Coimbra symposium ranged from materials aspects of photochemistry through nanostructures and nanomaterials to mechanistic and synthetic aspects of organic photochemistry, photobiology, photomedicine and skin photochemistry, applied photochemistry, and photochemistry and cultural heritage.The symposium had 8 plenary lectures, 22 invited lectures, 105 oral communications, and more than 400 posters, confirming the vitality of this area of chemistry. It is difficult to pinpoint specific highlights, as these depend very much on one's personal interests, but one of the most important presentations was undoubtedly Tom Meyer's Porter Medal Lecture on metal-to-ligand charge-transfer states in polypyridylruthenium(II) complexes and related systems. An IUPAC Photochemistry Symposium was previously held in Portugal, in Lisbon, in 1986, and it is interesting to note that Prof. Meyer also gave a plenary lecture there addressing some of the fundamental photophysics of these systems [Pure Appl. Chem.58, 1193 (1986)]. It is refreshing to see how these have developed from pure science to practical applications.George Porter gave a plenary lecture at the Lisbon symposium in 1986 on the first nanoseconds of photosynthesis. Developments in instrumentation in the intervening 26 years now make interrogation of excited-state behavior on the femtosecond timescale relatively straightforward, and as various presentations in this volume and in the symposium demonstrate, are helping unravel the importance of early events in many photochemical and photobiological processes.In addition to the lectures and poster presentations, the program also included a number of awards for young photochemists and posters, and a variety of social activities, including canoeing on the local River Mondego.We believe that the scientific program has maintained the excellent tradition of the IUPAC Photochemistry Symposia in showing that this continues to be a vibrant, exciting interdisciplinary area of research. This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry contains a number of the plenary and invited lectures from the symposium, which we feel mirror the current state of the art of photochemistry as a dynamic and important field of chemistry.Hugh D.

The 18th International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry (ICPOC-18) took place at the Gromada Hotel in Warsaw, Poland on 20-25 August 2006 under the local auspices of Warsaw University and the Polish Chemical Society. It was organized by a local Organizing Committee from the Department of Chemistry of Warsaw University led by Prof. Tadeusz M. Krygowski.Although physical organic chemistry began in the 1930s and at the beginning was concerned mostly with the mechanisms and kinetics of organic reactions and their dependence on structural and medium effects, a great extension of the field toward bioorganic, organic, organometallic, theoretical, catalytic, supramolecular, and photochemistry has been observed for decades now. Representative topics for modern physical organic chemistry include: reaction mechanisms; reactive intermediates; bioprocesses; novel structures; reactivity relationships; solvent, substituent, isotope, and solid-state effects; long-lived charges; sextet or open-shell species; magnetic, nonlinear optical, and conducting molecules; and molecular recognition. Contributions from all of these fields were presented.About 220 researchers, representing 31 countries, participated in the conference. The following eight plenary lectures were presented:R. Huber (Nobel laureate, Germany): "Molecular machines in biology"A. Yonath (Israel): "The spectacular ribosomal architecture: Nascent proteins voyage towards folding via antibiotics binding-pockets"P. Coppens (USA): "Time-resolved diffraction studies of molecular excited states and beyond"K. S. Kim (South Korea): "De novo design based on nano-recognition: Functional molecules/materials and nanosensors/nanodevices"I. P. Beletskaya (Russia): "Mechanistic aspects and synthetic application of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds formation in substitution and addition reactions catalyzed by transition-metal complexes"S. Fukuzumi (Japan): "New development of electron-transfer catalytic systems"D. Braga (Italy): "Making crystals from crystals: A green route to crystal engineering and polymorphism"L. Latos-Grażyński (Poland): "Carbaporphyrinoids: Exploring metal ion-arene interaction in a macrocyclic environment"Additionally, 17 invited talks and, during two parallel sessions, 51 oral communications were presented. There were more than 100 poster presentations.I am pleased to introduce a representative selection of outstanding papers based on plenary and invited lectures delivered at ICPOC-18. In addition to the contributions mentioned above, this volume contains: a discussion of modern understanding of aromaticity (P. Fowler, UK); fascinating studies of new mechanisms focused on reactive intermediates (R. Moss, USA); interpretation of acidity, basicity, and hydride affinity by the trichotomy paradigm (Z. Maksić, Croatia); a quantum approach to proton transfer across hydrogen bond (F. Fillaux, France); a discussion of self-assembly of nickel(II) pseudorotaxene nanostructures on Au surface (R. Bilewicz, Poland); a discussion of synthesis and properties of macrocyclic receptors for anions (J. Jurczak, Poland); a description of novel organic-inorganic frameworks (J. Klinowski, UK); an application of microemulsions as microreactors (J. R. Leis, Spain); a discussion of silicon rehybridization and molecular rearrangements in hypercoordinate silicon dichelates (D. Kost, Israel); and a description of solvation in pure and mixed solvents (O. El Seoud, Brazil). All of these papers exemplify the broad range and diversity of interests of the participants and characterize the present and future challenges in physical organic chemistry.The social program of the conference included: a welcome reception; a Chopin music concert organized in cooperation with the Frederic Chopin Society; conference excursions, including Warsaw Old Town and Żelazowa Wola, the house where Chopin was born; the Warsaw Uprising (1944) Museum and the Heroes of Ghetto Memorial; and folk music dances during the conference dinner.Because ICPOC-18 was attended by quite a number of young chemists from all over the world, it can be expected that the next conference in this series, ICPOC-19, which will be held in July 2008 and is being organized by Profs. J. Ramon Leis from the University of Santiago de Compostela and A. Santaballa from the University of A Coruna (Spain), will not only reflect recent developments and the rich potential of physical organic chemistry, but will also demonstrate the aspirations of younger generations of scientists in this field.Krzysztof WoźniakConference Editor

Questa tesi include due capitoli. Il primo capitolo riguarda le disuguaglianze di denutrizione infantile in Etiopia usando la prospettiva longitudinale. In tutti gli approcci di calcolo dell'indice di concentrazione e le variabili di posizionamento dello status socioeconomico (SES), gli indici di concentrazione sono significativi con valore negativo. Ciò implica che in entrambe le stime di disuguaglianza di breve o di lungo periodo, l'onere della distribuzione iniqua della sottonutrizione rimane sui poveri con una differenza significativa tra le regioni. Per quanto riguarda la dinamica delle disuguaglianze, i risultati sugli indici di mobilità sono calcolati sulla base di Allanson et al. L'approccio (2010) mostra che la disuguaglianza rimane stabile (persistenza della disuguaglianza) nel punteggio Z di altezza, e la riduzione della disuguaglianza nel punteggio Z di peso in età, mentre nel caso del punteggio Z di peso per altezza, non c'è una chiara tendenza sulle successive ondate. Mentre il secondo capitolo indaga l'impatto diretto del programma di protezione sociale sulle misure antropometriche a lungo termine dello stato nutrizionale e gli effetti indiretti sul rendimento scolastico. Il nostro progetto di ricerca combina le differenze di intensità del programma tra le regioni con le differenze tra le coorti indotte dai tempi del programma. Le stime relative alla differenza nella differenza suggeriscono che l'esposizione della prima infanzia al programma porta ad un migliore stato nutrizionale e quindi ad un maggiore accumulo di capitale umano. I risultati sono solidi per diverse misure di intensità del programma, campioni di stima, modelli empirici e alcuni test di placebo.
This thesis includes two chapters. The first chapter deals with child undernutrition inequalities in Ethiopia using longitudinal perspective. In all concentration index computing approaches and Socioeconomic Status (SES) ranking variables, the concentration indices are significant with negative value. This implies that in either of short-run or long-run inequality estimates, the burden of unequal distribution of undernutrition remains on the poor with significant difference across regions. With respect to dynamics of inequalities, results on mobility indices computed based on Allanson et al. (2010) approach show that inequality remain stable (persistence of inequality) in Height-for- age Z-score, and reduction of inequality in Weight-for- age Z-score while in case of Weight-for- height Z-score, there is no clear trend over subsequent waves. While the second chapter investigates the direct impact of social protection program on long-term anthropometric measures of nutritional status and the indirect effects on educational attainment. Our research design combines differences in program intensity across regions with differences across cohorts induced by the timing of the program. Difference-in-difference estimates suggest that early childhood exposure to the program leads to better nutritional status and hence higher human capital accumulation. Results are robust to different measures of program intensity, estimation samples, empirical models and some placebo tests.

The politics of food is intertwined with land politics, whether we talk about plantation workers, indigenous peoples, or pastoralists and their desire to own or control land. Questions on food politics are centered on what is to be produced, where, how much and how, by whom, and with what patterns of distribution and consumption. Answers to these questions inevitably raise issues of politics, power, and social justice. This chapter examines the link between land and food and its implications for social justice. It begins with a discussion of the contemporary global land rush in relation to pro-poor land policy, with particular emphasis on land reform. It then looks at the move away from conventional land reform in development policy thinking as part of the neoliberal resurgence. It also considers the contemporary interest in land and land policies in the context of development, along with key themes in pro-poor land policy such as protection or transfer of land-based wealth in favor of the poor, transfer of land-based political power, the sensitivity of such a policy to gender and ethnic groups, and its contribution to increasing land and labor productivity.

The technologies of ‘digital health’ will fundamentally transform the building of relationships in healthcare and the social relationships of ageing people. This volume is devoted to three ethical and legal areas of tension. In the area of tension between personal dignity and digital care, it is a question of balancing individual ideas about a good life with those of digitised technologies. In this way, new information technologies enable both more self-determination and more complete control over everyday life. Analogously, in the area of tension between freedom and security, technology can reinforce one aspect at the expense of the other. Finally, the area of tension between simulation and authenticity revolves around the human consequences of the construction of reality.

Poor-led social movements seek to transform the structures that exclude, subordinate, and exploit people who live in poverty. The people in these movements know that durable poverty reduction ultimately depends upon the social and political empowerment of the poor. Yet despite the paradigm-shifting contributions of poor activists, their insights and visions of poverty eradication have been largely neglected in philosophical responses to poverty, which focus instead on the obligations of individuals and institutions in affluent states. The erasure of people living in poverty as central agents of justice puts normative theorists out of step with progressive, pro-poor approaches to poverty reduction and development, and with research on the important role of grassroots social movements in these processes. From rural landless workers in Brazil, to urban shack dwellers in South Africa, to unemployed workers impoverished by neoliberal economic policies in Argentina, poor-led organizations and movements advance a more political understanding of poverty—and of what is needed to eradicate it. Addressed primarily to political theorists and philosophers, this book shows how these groups develop the political consciousness and collective capabilities of poor communities, and help to create the basis for solidaristic action among poor populations. Defending the idea of a political responsibility for solidarity, Deveaux shows how nonpoor outsiders can help to advance a transformative anti-poverty agenda by supporting the efforts of poor-led social movements.

Just a few years ago, Greece appeared to be a politically secure nation with a healthy economy. Today, Greece can be found at the center of the economic maelstrom in Europe. Beginning in late 2008, the Greek economy entered a nosedive that would transform it into the European country with the most serious and intractable fiscal problems. Both the deficit and the unemployment rate skyrocketed. Quickly thereafter, Greece edged toward a pre-revolutionary condition, as massive anti-austerity protests punctuated by violence and vandalism spread throughout Greek cities. Greece was certainly not the only country hit hard by the recession, but nevertheless the entire world turned its focus toward it for a simple reason: the possibility of a Greek exit from the European Monetary Union, and its potential to unravel the entire Union, with other weaker members heading for the exits as well. The fate of Greece is inextricably tied up with the global politics surrounding austerity as well. Is austerity rough but necessary medicine, or is it an intellectually bankrupt approach to fiscal policy that causes ruin? Through it all, Greece has staggered from crisis to crisis, and the European central bank’s periodic attempts to prop up its economy fall short in the face of popular recalcitrance and negative economic growth. Though the catalysts for Greece’s current economic crises can be found in the conditions and events of the past few years, one can only understand the factors that helped to transform these crises into a terrible political and social catastrophe by tracing Greece’s development as an independent country over the past two centuries. In Greece: What Everyone Needs to Know, Stathis Kalyvas, an eminent scholar of conflict, Europe, and Greece, begins by elucidating the crisis’s impact on contemporary Greek society. He then shifts his focus to modern Greek history, tracing the nation’s development from the early nineteenth century to the present. Key episodes include the independence movement of the early nineteenth century, the aftermath of World War I (in which Turkey and Greece engaged in a massive mutual ethnic cleansing), the German occupation of World War II, the brutal civil war that followed, the postwar conflict with Turkey over Cyprus, the military coup of 1967, and-finally-democracy and entry into the European Union. The final part of the book will cover the recent crisis in detail. Written by one of the most brilliant political scientists in the academy, Greece is the go-to resource for understanding both the present turmoil and the deeper past that has brought the country to where it is now.

Approaches towards the formal learning of piano playing with respect to musicianship is one that demands the understanding of musical concepts and their applications. Consequently, it requires the boldness to immerse oneself in performance situations while trusting one’s instincts. One needs only to cultivate an amazing ear and a good understanding of music theory to break down progressions “quickly”. Like an alchemist, one would have to pick their creative impulses from their musical toolbox, simultaneously compelling their fingers to coordinate with the brain and the music present to generate “pleasant sounds”. My exploration leading to what will be considered Keyboard Musicianship did not begin in a formal setting. Rather it was the consolidation of my involvement in playing the organ at home, Sunday school, boarding school at Presec-Legon, and playing at weekly gospel band performances off-campus and other social settings that crystalized approaches that can be formally structured. In fact, I did not then consider this lifestyle of musical interpretation worthy of academic inclusivity until I graduated from the national academy of music and was taken on the staff as an instructor in September, 1986. Apparently, what I did that seemed effortless was a special area that was integral to holistic music development. The late Dr. Robert Manford, the then director of the Academy, assigned me to teach Rudiments and Theory of Music to first year students, Keyboard Musicianship to final year students, and to continue giving Piano Accompaniment to students – just as I have been voluntarily doing to help students. The challenge was simply this; there was no official textbook or guide to use in teaching keyboard musicianship then and I was to help guide especially non-piano majors for practical exams in musicianship. What an enterprise! The good news though was that exemplifying functionalism in keyboard, organ, piano, etc. has been my survival activity off campus particularly in church and social settings.Having reflected thoroughly and prayerfully, it dawned on me that piano literacy repertoires were crafted differently than my assignments in Musicianship. Piano literacy repertoires of western music were abundant on campus but applied musicianship demanded a different approach. Playing a sonata, sonatina, mazurka, and waltzes at different proficiency levels was different from punching chords in R&B, Ballard style, Reggae, Highlife or even Hymn playing. However, there are approaches that can link them and also interpretations that can categorize them in other applicable dimensions. A “Retrospective Introspection” demanded that I confront myself constructively with two questions: 1. WHAT MUSICAL ACTIVITIES have I already enjoyed myself in that WARRANT or deserve this challenging assignment? 2. WHAT MUSICAL NOURISHMENT do l believe enriched my artistry that was so observable and Measurable? The answers were shocking! They were: 1. My weekend sojourn from Winneba to Accra to play for churches, brass bands, gospel bands and teaching of Choirs – which often left me penniless. 2. Volunteering to render piano accompaniment to any Voice Major student on campus since my very first year. 3. Applying a principle, I learnt from my father – TRANSFER OF LEARNING – I exported the functionalism of my off-campus musical activities to compliment my formal/academic work. 4. The improvisational influences of Rev. Stevenson Alfred Williams (gospel jazz pianist), Bessa Simmons (band director & keyboardist) and at Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, Mr. Ray Ellis “Afro Piano Jazz Fusion Highlife” The trust and support from lecturers and students in the academy injected an overwhelming and high sense of responsibility in me which nevertheless, guided me to observe structures of other established course outlines and apply myself with respect to approaches that were deemed relevant. Thus, it is in this light that I selected specific concepts worth exploring to validate the functionalism of what my assignment required. Initially, hymn structures, chords I, IV, V and short highlife chordal progressions inverted here and there were considered. Basic reading of notes and intense audiation were injected even as I developed technical exercises to help with the dexterity of stiff fingers. I conclude this preface by stating that, this “Instructional guide/manual” is actually a developmental workbook. I have deliberately juxtaposed simple original piano pieces with musicianship approaches. The blend is to equip learners to develop music literacy and performance proficiencies. The process is expected to compel the learner to immerse/initiate themselves into basic keyboard musicianship. While it is a basic book, I expect it to be a solid foundation for those who commit to it. Many of my former and present students have been requesting for a sort of guide to aid their teaching or refresh their memories. Though not exhaustive, the selections presented here are a response to a long-awaited workbook. I have used most of them not only in Winneba, but also at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center (Atlanta) and the Piano Lab (Accra). I found myself teaching the same course in the 2009 – 2013 academic year in the Music Department of the University of Education, Winneba when Prof C.W.K Merekeu was Head of Department. My observation is that we still have a lot of work to do in bridging academia and industry. This implies that musicianship must be considered as the bloodline of musicality not only in theory but in practice. I have added simplified versions of my old course outlines as a guide for anyone interested in learning. Finally, I contend that Keyboard Musicianship is a craft and will require of the learner a consistent discipline and respect for: 1. The art of listening 2. Skill acquisition/proficient dexterity 3. Ability to interpret via extemporization and delivery/showmanship. For learners who desire to challenge themselves in intermediate and advanced piano, I recommend my book, “African Pianism. (A contribution to Africology)”

AbstractDaily behaviors influence an individual’s health and, in turn, all the domains of their quality of life (QoL). Accurately quantifying these behaviors may allow individuals to improve their overall awareness of these behaviors, make necessary habit changes, and receive more individualized treatment approaches. Currently, self-reported patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are the most common means of assessing daily behaviors. However, this method has multiple limitations, including the infrequency of collection, its subjective nature, its reliance on memory recall, and the influence of social norms. In comparison with PROs, using personalized and miniaturized technological innovations, including smartphones, mobile applications, and wearables, can enable the continuous assessment of daily life behaviors that contribute to or result from an individual’s QoL in a more accurate and timely manner. These technologies have the potential to transform the current state of quantifying QoL, allowing for improved research and the implementation of more individualized approaches to prevention and treatment. This chapter thus presents potential areas of future research and development opened by the use of these technologies in the field of QoL.

Technology is revolutionizing and making positive as well as negative impacts on social animals. The social animal's behavior gets affected due to instant change in their lives. A concept of blockchain technology or distributed ledger transforms the way of their living. This technology is well known for its immutable and distributed architecture. The government focuses on such technologies rather than centralized network so that they can avoid central server banking crimes. These technologies allow social animals to stay secured and updated in an online process of information transfer. These are very famous for bitcoin, ripple, and ether transactions; however, mentioned transactions are just applications of distributed ledger. This chapter discusses the features, pros, cons, challenges, and future scope of distributed ledger. Further, it discusses the applications of blockchain technology in different sectors like identity management, smart cities, privacy protection, travel industry, electronic voting, finance, health industry, smart contracts, and hospitality.

Organisations invest heavily in knowledge management technologies and initiatives which are entirely dependent on the willingness of employees to share their knowledge. Educational and reward programs need to be informed by an understanding of what motivates people to share their knowledge at work. Prior research based on motivational theories suggests the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators to encourage voluntary pro-social behaviours such as knowledge sharing. However, the literature on motivation in the context of knowledge sharing is still emerging and fragmented. This chapter therefore proposes an integrated model that brings together theoretical insights from motivational research to explain the influence of key intrinsic and extrinsic motivators on knowledge sharing. The chapter reports the results of the assessment of the model based on data collected across 10 organisations. The discussion of results contributes to the understanding of motivational factors influencing attitude and intention to share knowledge and their relative importance.

This chapter focuses on income inequality in Mexico, which increased between 1989 and 1994. Between 1994 and 2006, inequality declined; between 2006–14, inequality was again on the rise. The authors apply decomposition techniques to analyse the proximate determinants of labour income inequality and fiscal incidence analysis to estimate the first-order effects of taxes and social spending on the distribution of income. The key component that underlies the ‘rise–decline–rise again’ pattern was the evolution of returns to skills. In addition, while changes in fiscal policy in the 1990s were progressive and pro-poor, the redistributive effect has declined significantly since 2010, as transfers have become less progressive and net indirect taxes have increased.

For the past decade, Malaysia has transformed considerably in its landscape, politics, outlook, economics, and social progress. It has developed from a country that focused on mining and agriculture towards an industrialized country, particularly in the manufacturing and service sectors. According to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, as proliferated in the New Economic Model Agenda, moving towards this economy is fundamental especially in efforts to integrate the economy with the global economic network. Malaysia needs to continue to bring changes to the economy in order to move towards innovation-centred economy. The three main features are creativity, innovation value, and high skills. To achieve such a noble endeavour, Malaysia has no option but to nurture and configure the innovative human capital—simply put, Malaysia is in dire need of human capital that is innovative, creative, and proactive. In tandem with this scenario, the National Economic Advisory 2010 has outlined several strategic plans to transform Malaysia’s economy by focusing on strengthening and intensifying human capital development. Human capital needs to be equipped with necessary competencies and entrepreneurial activities to ensure that the private sector is the vanguard of economic development. Therefore, human capital approach could be leveraged by certain dimensions that could create new knowledge and information. Although human capital may be the origin of all knowledge, learning requires that individuals exchange and share insights and knowledge, which represent social embeddedness. Additionally, organisational architecture that is pro-innovativeness should be designed in promoting the development of human capital. The dimensions such as management support, work discretion, rewards, time availability, and risk taking could foster human capital to induce innovativeness. As such, it is imperative to understand the ingredients that could form and shape the innovative human capital by leveraging the social embeddedness and pro-innovativeness organisational architecture that lead to innovative performance and excellent organisational performance.

Abstract This chapter addresses some of the most important historical processes that shaped Portuguese late colonialism and decolonization from 1945 to 1975. The authors argue that to fully apprehend the dynamics that led to the transfers of power, the independence of several former Portuguese African colonies, and its post-imperial aftermath, it is fundamental to understand the profound consequential political, economic, cultural, and social changes that took place in the Portuguese African colonies after 1945. From the reconfiguration of the imperial politics of difference to the modernizing impetuses that marked the empire during the last thirty years of Portuguese colonialism, this chapter tackles the ways in which pro-imperial advocates and anti-colonial activists, among others, engaged in a dispute with global ramifications regarding the legitimacy of Portuguese rule over different territories and populations. Portuguese late colonialism is thus addressed through a comparative framework that brings together the trajectories of imperial demise of other European powers and the universalization of political national self-determination as the cornerstone of the contemporary global order.

HISTORICAMENTE O POVO SURDO PASSOU POR DIVERSOS MOMENTOS DE REJEIÇÃO SOCIAL E EDUCACIONAL, SENDO SUBMETIDOS A DIVERSAS METODOLOGIAS QUE SÓ DIRECIONAVA O SURDO A IGUALDADE LINGUÍSTICA, SEM VALORIZAR A INDIVIDUALIDADE LINGUÍSTICA DESSE POVO. TAIS ACONTECIMENTOS DIFICULTARAM A AQUISIÇÃO DE ALGUNS DIREITOS DOS SURDOS, DESDE O ACESSO A SUA LÍNGUA ATÉ O RECONHECIMENTO DE SUA CULTURA. PORÉM, VALE DESTACAR QUE MEDIANTE TANTAS LUTAS E DERROTAS, O SURDO MANTEVE-SE FORTE E DETERMINADO A MUDAR SEU CONTEXTO SOCIAL. ASSIM, AS PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA, ADQUIRIRAM DE FORMA LEGAL O DIREITO A SEREM INCLUÍDOS NO AMBIENTE ESCOLAR, PREFERIVELMENTE NAS SALAS REGULARES. TAL FATO FEZ COM QUE OS SURDOS, ASSIM, COMO AS DEMAIS PESSOAS PASSASSEM A COMPOR O QUADRO REGULAR DA ESCOLA, ESTANDO INSERIDO EM SALA DE AULA JUNTO AOS OUVINTES. PORÉM, NO QUE CONCERNE À COMUNIDADE SURDA, TAL DIREITO ULTRAPASSA QUESTÕES ESPACIAIS, UMA VEZ QUE A COMUNIDADE SURDA POSSUI UMA LÍNGUA PRÓPRIA, A QUAL RECEBEU SEU RESPALDO PARA UTILIZAÇÃO SOCIAL E EDUCACIONAL ATRAVÉS DA LEI 10.436/02. POR MAIS QUE TENHA VIVIDO MAIS DE UM SÉCULO A OBRIGATORIEDADE DA ORALIZAÇÃO, OS SURDOS CONSEGUIRAM TRANSPOR ESSA BARREIRA COMUNICATIVA EM PROL DE UM NOVO CENÁRIO. DESTA FORMA, MEDIANTE O CONTATO COM A LÍNGUA DE SINAIS, SURGE A PROPOSTA DE EDUCAÇÃO BILÍNGUE, OBJETIVANDO UMA EDUCAÇÃO IGUALITÁRIA PARA O SURDO, ATRAVÉS DE SUA LÍNGUA ENQUANTO L1 E DO PORTUGUÊS COMO L2, TORNANDO ESSE MOMENTO HISTÓRICO UM MARCO PARA O POVO SURDO. ASSIM, BUSCAMOS APOIO DE ALGUNS TEÓRICOS (GOLDFELD, 2002), E (HONORA, 2014).

Online social networking communities can help strengthen professional ties among members of almost any profession. How useful they are to the engineering professions in contributing to the process of intergenerational knowledge transfer depends on the site. Prior to the popularity of online communications and networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked In, Power Industry engineers have utilized with varying success a number of knowledge transfer facilitation tools, both within their companies and outside them. This paper will discuss the pros and cons of both traditional and emerging methods and present specific examples that address technical issues, learning styles, differences in generational approaches to learning and communication. Issues relating to global needs in the engineering profession, organizational flexibility, the ability of people and organizations to adapt and change, and educational and workforce challenges will also be discussed. Short case studies illustrating various solutions for addressing some of these issues, including development of useful technical content and formation of communities of practice, will also be provided.

Technology transfer and industry creation are increasingly identified with university research. Increasing this activity may stimulate initiatives to enhance progress in economic opportunity. A high standard of living is dependent upon a leading position in high technology, engineering and technology-relaled research and development, resulting in high tech jobs. Universities will carry a part of these new responsibilities. Emphasis on higher education will be a focus of opportunity over the next decade. Curricula content will include social, international, economic and environmental issues. The education community will review the pros and cons of the opportunity technology affords. However, in parallel, university research will become increasingly the source of, and universities the partners of continued technological development. It is timely to explain this opportunity and explore the challenges of this new partnership.

The article desribes the main features of the publishing activity of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv from the end of the 1990s and in the first two decades of the 21st century. The aim of the author was to show this activity with the help of stages of formation of the Publishing Centre at the University.
