Full textO presente estudo trata do tema da percepção dos riscos naturais. Foi efectuado uma revisão bibliográfica sobre percepção dos riscos naturais, refugiados climáticos e alterações climáticas em Tuvalu. Posteriormente foi realizado um inquérito na comunidade académica da Universidade de Aveiro sobre riscos naturais, num contexto global e regional e uma consulta em Tuvalu por inquéritos electrónicos. Também foi feita uma consulta em Tuvalu, através de inquéritos electrónicos. Procurou-se compreender a percepção social dos riscos naturais, dos refugiados climáticos e do fenómeno de subida do nível das águas do mar neste inquérito. Duas realidades distintas são analisadas, a realidade dos riscos enfrentados por Portugal e a realidade dos riscos enfrentados por Tuvalu, com o intuito de perceber qual o percepção da sociedade sobre o tema. Os resultados deste estudo permitiram compreender a percepção dos inquiridos sobre riscos naturais, alterações climáticas em Tuvalu e sobre os refugiados climáticos. A percepção de um mesmo risco natural, como o caso da subida do mar, pode ser diferente para cada região. Verificou-se que a percepção das alterações climáticas em Tuvalu é pouco conhecida pela comunidade académica da Universidade de Aveiro e que esta acredita que os impactos da subida do nível do mar para Portugal e Tuvalu não os mesmos. A distância geográfica influencia a percepção do risco pela população, sendo que os indivíduos estabelecidos longe da ocorrência destes fenómenos apresentam um baixo nível de atenção aos mesmos. ABSTRACT: This research investigates the social perception of natural risks. It was made a literature review focusing on perception of natural risks, climate refugees and weather changes in Tuvalu. Subsequently, there are made inquiries at academic community the University of Aveiro about natural risks and weather changes in Tuvalu on a regional and global context. A consultation in Tuvalu was made by electronics inquiries. This research tries to understand the social perception of natural risks, climate refugees and the phenomenon of sea level rising. Two different realities are analyzed. The reality of risks faced by Portugal and the reality of risks faced by Tuvalu, with the aim of understanding the framework of society about this. The results of this research allowed understanding the perception about natural risks and weather changes in Tuvalu. The perception of the same natural risk, like sea level rise, can be different of each place. The perception of weather changes in Tuvalu is little known for academic community from University of Aveiro, and they believe that the impacts of sea level rise for Portugal and Tuvalu are not the same. The geographic distance makes influence at perception of risks; residents far away from this phenomenon present a low level of attention for this phenomenon.

Full textTaking into account that global climate change is a reality and that its causes are related to anthropogenic as well as to Earth's own dynamics, we can say that today, after 1989, the resolutions of a group of researchers belonging to the Intergovernmental Panel about Climate Change (IPCC) based scientific data that are used in global political actions at local, regional and global levels, are reshaping and influencing social and economic changes everywhere. The affirmative scientific environmental and climate change are embedded on one political context of global actions characterized by power asymmetry, transversality and transnational of actions. Thus the climate-change phenomenon affecting the island state of Tuvalu and possible solutions for the resulting climatic and political issues go through State action as well as through discussions in international organizations. The principle of citizenship linked to the States is fragmented, since internally, the Tuvalu's State, by losing its territory with rising sea level, cannot guarantee its citizens the right to life and their permanence in its territory. Although politically and economically insignificant, the country claimed the aid of many international actors, specially the great powers to ratify protocols, treaties and agreements aiming at reducing gas emission of polluting gases. However, contrary to Tuvalu's aspirations, it creates a conceptual discourse on the origin of environmental refugees or stateless persons and their possible international legal framework in the body, but did not discuss possible mitigation and adaptation solutions that mitigate the specific problem.

Full textIn the last 40 years, climate change has been increasingly taken intoaccount. Various observers have started to tell a story: the story of small Pacific atollisland states that might disappear beneath the rising seas. The argument developedin this thesis is that this story is a "public action narative" which aims at drawingattention towards those states and at inciting policy makers to prevent the risk or tofind a solution. Those "sinking island States narratives" display two particularcharacteristics: they are not linked to an existing policy and they are used by variousactors from the political sphere and the civil society.Building on the policy narratives literature, this thesis aims at analysing theproduction, the dissemination and the framing of the sinking island states narratives.It is based on mixed methods and combines a qualitative framework and a statisticalanalysis of textual data

Full textToday, the consequences of climate crisis - such as the reduction of the land surfacearea due to increasing sea levels - intensify questions about the future of isolatedterritories in the Pacific Oceans and their populations. Funafuti, the principal atoll ofTuvalu, seems symbolic of this, faced with anthropogenic alterations affecting the islandsof the South Pacific. Here, changes caused by the submersion of land during the lastcentury have altered the traditional use of space, that is to say, prompted a chronologicaland gradual progression from a terrestrial to a hybrid habitat.The methodology adopted in this research consisted in analysing changes in the waymorphological, typological and symbolic alterations are measured, according to thevarious changes, interactions or evolutionary developments in both the geographic andurban strata that, together, constitute the space’s territorial identity. This study focuseson the period from 1945 to 2016, when the effect of anthropogenic and natural changes- particularly on the area’s spatial identity – became increasingly significant. Ourobjective is to promote the theory that, faced with the ocean’s increasing prominence atthe heart of the atoll, island inhabitants find themselves in a space characterised by itsongoing transformation into a hybrid environment - with hybridity both becoming apattern and informing adaptive process.This adaptation comprises a significant rupture in the way the ‘limit’ between landscapeand territory are perceived, a factor that results in the emergence of new, contextspecific,socio-spatial structures. Understanding how contemporary habitats evolve inthe face of climate change is necessary if we are to update and deepen ourunderstanding of the specific material and cultural developments of countries in contactwith the ocean. This transition - from oceanic landscape to inhabited oceanic territory -may represent the beginning of an extensive period of modifications within the Islandhabitat, which may eventually, over a longer period, result in the emergence of the first,more permanent oceanic habitats

Full textBackground: Post-operative surgical site infections (SSI) cause suffering for the afflicted patient and is a great cost for the patient, the health care system and society. Intra-operative contamination of surgical instruments is one of the sources of these infections. The operating room nurse is responsible for preventing infections. Purpose: The purpose of this pilot-study was to measure the degree of bacterial contamination over time on surgical instruments used in open neurosurgery as well as to observe specific sources of contamination during this time. Method: The design was a quantitative nonexperimental observational study. The data collection took place during autumn 2015 and consisted of the sampling of specific instruments used by the surgeon during surgery after preset elapsed operating times. Bacterial culturing on these instruments was then carried out at a laboratory according to a preset routine and the degree of contamination was measured by observing the amount of colony forming units (CFU). The results are presented as changes in CFU. Results: Five operations were observed and ten bacterial culturings were conducted on ten instruments. A total of ten CFU was registered during all observations. No significant increase in the number of CFU could be observed from one to two hours of elapsed surgery (P=0,156). The amount of door openings increased from 3,4 to 9,0 and the number of personnel in the operating room increased from 5,4 to 5,8. Conclusion: Despite the small number of observations included in this study the results indicate good aseptics and minimal bacterial contamination on the surgical instruments during the first two hours of surgery. Further research with longer observations, more observations and observations on other forms of surgery is needed.

Full textMassive population displacements are regularly forecast as one of the most dramatic consequences of climate change. The thesis shows that such an approch is overly deterministic, and argues that patterns of migration flows depend primarily on policy responses. In a constructivist approah, the research contends that the very conceptualisation of environmental migration, as a political construct, is contingent upon the normative frameworks and policy responses that aim to address it. These frameworks and responses are examined in two policy areas: migration policies and environmental policies. Two empirical studies, in New Orleans and Tuvalu, complement the analysis

Full textBIOGAS POTENTIAL IN GRASSES FROM WETLANDS

The purpose of this study has been to survey wetlands that are suitable for mowing and to analyze the biogas potential in the harvested grasses. A preformed investigation showed that there are suitable wetlands, which can be harvestable, namely those mowed formerly in traditional haymaking. The practice of traditional haymaking is dying out in Sweden today but there are several good reasons why it should to be reconsidered. Nature- and cultural values are obvious, also the unutilized energy in the grass.
The suitable types of wetland that were specifically studied were the productive wetlands; meadow marshes and wet meadows. These wetlands are represented in the Swedish meadow- and pasture inventory database; (TUVA) and the Swedish national wetland inventory (VMI). Going through the databases showed that they largely complement each other. A geographical mapping was also carried out of wetlands in relation to areas of interest for the future establishment of biogas plants, so called “hotspots”. The geographical survey shows that there is ample amount of grass from wetlands within a 30-kilometer radius that can supplement the plants main substrate, manure. The map layer Swedish Ground Cover Data (SMD) together with GIS software was used to analyze the extent of overgrowth for the older VMI objects in Uppsala County, with the result that half of the VMI objects are no longer of interest. They have become either woodland and bogs, or reed beds.
There is very little information on wetland-grasses and methane production. Instead, a theory was evaluated regarding the possibility of transforming nutritional values for grass and sedges into biogas potentials. It was shown that this method does not capture the total biogas potential, but offers a minimum value that can be considered rather reliable. The energy transformation showed that late harvested grasses from wetlands has a biogas potential about 0, 21Nm3 methane/ (kg, DM) which is about 60 % of the biogas potential for grass-legume forages. The gas yield after 20 days is also relatively low. It could though be favorable to try grasses from wetlands in methane production, because co-digestion with these grasses and other suitable materials could produce a higher net gas yield for the plant, than using the materials solely by themselves. The derived biogas potential showed that there is at least 4, 4 GWh biogas energy in grasses from wetlands in Uppsala county at a low estimate. Harvesting costs were however shown to be too high in the present to achieve a plus result.
BIOGASPOTENTIAL HOS VÅTMARKSGRÄS
Marvin Martins
Syftet med detta arbete har varit att kartlägga våtmarker i Biogas Östs region lämpliga att skörda samt att undersöka biogaspotentialen i detta våtmarksgräs. Undersökningen visar att det finns lämpliga våtmarker, så kallade slåtterängar, i den undersökta regionen. Traditionell slåtter är en utdöende företeelse i Sverige men det finns flera goda argument till varför den borde återupptas. Natur- och kulturvärden är givna sådana men även den outnyttjade energin i gräset.
Våtmarkstyper som specifikt har studerats är de produktiva våta slåtterängarna; fuktängar, strandängar och mader. Dessa våtmarker finns representerade i Ängs- och betesmarksinventeringens databas; TUVA och våtmarksinventeringens VMI. En genomgång av databaserna visade att de i stor utsträckning kompletterar varandra. En geografisk kartläggning har även utförts på slåttermarker i förhållande till intressanta områden för framtida biogasanläggningar, så kallade ”hotspots”. Kartläggningen visar att det finns gott om våtmarksgräs inom en tremilsradie som kan komplettera anläggningarnas huvudsubstrat, gödsel. Kartskiktet Svenska Marktäckedata (SMD) tillsammans med GIS-programvara har använts för att analysera hur mycket de äldre VMI-objekten i Uppsala län har växt igen, med resultatet att hälften av VMI-våtmarkerna är inaktuella i dagsläget. De har antingen växt igen med mossor och träd eller blivit vassbälten.
Det finns ytterst begränsat med information kring rötdata på våtmarksgräs. Istället utvärderades en teori, om fodervärden för ett par gräs- och starrarter kan omvandlas till biogaspotentialer. Det visade sig att denna metod inte ger den maximala biogaspotentialen men ett minimivärde erhålls som kan betraktas som ganska tillförlitligt. Energiomvandlingen visar att sent slåttat våtmarksgräs har en biogaspotential runt 0,21 Nm3 metan/(kg, TS) vilket är omkring 60 % av den odlade åkervallens biogaspotential. Gasutbytet efter 20 dagars rötning är också relativt lågt. Trots detta kan det vara fördelaktigt att röta våtmarksgräs, eftersom samrötning mellan detta och annat lämpligt material kan ge ett högre nettogasutbyte för anläggningen än rötning av de enskilda materialen var för sig. Den framtagna biogaspotentialen visar att det finns minst 4,4 GWh biogasenergi i våtmarksgräs från till exempel Uppsala län, lågt räknat. Slåtterkostnaderna har dock visat sig vara för höga för att få det att gå ihop ekonomiskt i dagsläget.

The duration of breastfeeding has been a declining annual trend in Tuvalu. Many studies indicate that breastfeed duration is influenced by maternal knowledge and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to understand such knowledge and attitudes regarding breastfeeding among pregnant women in Tuvalu. The study was a quantitative cross–sectional survey. A convenient sampling method was applied to recruit 112 participants from Princess Margaret Hospital between July and September 2013. The two instruments used were the IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale and the Infant Feeding Knowledge Tests. Demographic data was developed by the researcher. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 18. Approval to carry out the study was officially obtained from the Director of Health Services in Tuvalu. Results indicated that the ages of the sample women ranged from 18 to 41 years with mean of 27 years (SD =5.3). The mean breastfeeding knowledge score was 61 (SD= 15.8), with scores ranging from 25 to 90. The attitude mean score was 3.7 (SD = 0.54), with scores ranging from 2.59 to 4.76. However, no significant relationship was found between demographic variables and knowledge or attitudes about breastfeeding. The relationship between knowledge and attitudes has a positive correlation (p < 0.001). The study results could be used by health care providers to improve the breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes of women in Tuvalu.

A lot of countries have invested in achieving international success especially Olympic Games. Some research had find out that athletes come from countries that already established sport policy they are more advanced and successful to get a chance for medals at the Olympic Games. The main objective of this research is to compare the elite sport policies of Taiwan and Tuvalu by using secondary data to analyze the current status of elite sport policies between the two countries. The study based on the SPLISS (Sports Policy factors Leading to International Sporting Success) theoretical model and the questionnaires developed by the DOAW (Development of Olympic Athletes Welfare) research group. An international sports success has been related to relatively stable macroeconomic factors or socio-demographic factors. All of these factors are the key factors of the SPLISS model and DOAW project in their research. There are 13 selected factors from the SPLISS and the DOAW to carry out study for this research. The 13 factors are: national policy, financial support, sport science technology, “community, national and international competition”, training center, sport facilities, coaching program, athletes identification, public support, media and public attention, job training, educational programs and employment program. The result shows that Taiwan is a good model for Tuvalu. Therefore, Tuvalu needs to improve its financial status and needs to build more sports facilities that could help the elite sport success. In conclude, SPLISS is an international network of research and has been used by different researchers to compare sports policy, sports success and policy makers among different nations. On the other hand, the DAOW project was focusing on athletes’ welfare. An important area for all elite athletes is the life after retirement, whether he/she can get a job to survive in the end. Therefore both SPLISS and DOAW were good models to adopt by the government of Tuvalu and elite sports organization as road map to guide and direct Tuvalu sport in the future.

This study is mainly focus on examining, first how to maintain and improve the Tuvalu fishery access agreement and vessel day scheme between Tuvalu and other foreign parties. Second, what are the significances the access agreement and vessel day scheme provide to the government of Tuvalu and its people. Tuvalu depend heavily on its marine resources. Fish is the main resource that most of Tuvaluans living depend on, and also we can possibly have earned more revenue from it through a better access agreement and vessel day scheme. Currently, the vessel day scheme plays an important part to generate more revenue through the benchmark of fishing days’ fees in Tuvalu and other PNA parties. However, Tuvalu is surrounded its exclusive economic zone by tuna species so Tuvalu allow foreign fishing vessels to fish within Tuvalu zone and they have to pay their license fees before they fish in Tuvalu waters. Also we can have earned revenues from license fee and exporting of frozen reef fish to other Pacific parties. Moreover, this study finds out possible improvement of fishing related issues of Tuvalu including modernization of fishing facilities and upgrading the technology in Tuvalu fishery so that we can attract more foreign fishing vessels to fish in Tuvalu exclusive economic zone with modern fishing facilities such as rescue craft, fishing carrier and fishing resort. For fishing equipment including fishing drones and containment boom and also we need to upgrade high technology in Tuvalu fishery. These all for sure will improve the fishing standard of Tuvalu fishery to a much higher level and generate more revenues in the near future.

Fisheries agreement plays an important part in many small island countries economy. In most Pacific Island States, fishing license fees provide about 30 – 40% of revenues to their nation’s GDP. This research was focus on two main topics; the impact of fisheries agreement on Tuvalu’s welfare and how Tuvalu can maximize revenues from its tuna fisheries. Two-person non-zero sum game was used to analyze the impacts of fisheries agreement and find out the payoffs each player has. It was reported in past reports that the high rate of revenues received is from the US. Bilateral agreements system used by Tuvalu is by per vessel payment; that is as long as the fisher pays its fishing license fees and meets the agreement and the region’s conditions he is allow to fish in Tuvalu waters. This study finds out that distant water fishing nations (DWFNs) received higher revenues due to the prices of tuna in the international market; the higher the price of tuna and catches the higher the revenues, but for Tuvalu, the higher the access fees (lump sum payment) and higher number of fishing vessels the higher the total revenues received by Tuvalu. Taking into account the price of tuna during negotiation period or including in terms and conditions of the agreement and total allowable catch, it will maximize benefits received by Tuvalu. To ensure sustainability of resources and maximizes benefits from tuna resources, Tuvalu should establish regulations that support and promote the optimum utilization of resource, and future researches should be conducting on the important of right base fishery management for Tuvalu. Moreover, the number of license offers should be limited, and should be based on a pre-determined TAC set on the MSY.

Abstract Sea level rise has been connected to the issue of global change which causes regional flooding and severely effects on human activities and the natural environment. Tuvalu, an atoll country located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, has been inundated by this regional flooding for decades. The main purpose of this study is absolutely hoping to find out a way to predict regional flooding and to reduce the damage of life and property. In this dissertation, we interpreted King Tide, a term connected to flooding first. Then we used the data of tide gauge, satellite altimeter data, and in situ ocean temperature profiles to decompose and analyze the factors of regional flooding. By the data analysis, we sorted the influential components of King Tide into two parts, dynamic response and thermal effects. Eddy-like warm water, storm surge of tropical cycle, and tsunami response are interpreted and attributed to dynamic response. Referring to long term and large scale effects of the climate variation, such as Pacific Decadal Oscillation, El Ni#westeur050#o-Southern Oscillation, and heat storage of sea water are discussed in thermal effects. The results show that King Tide flooding is not a coincidence of sea level and climate combination. All King Tide cases were occurred with spring tide, 75% of those accompanied by eddy-like warm water, but only 29% accompanied by the highest astronomical tides. Once eddy-like warm water arises sea level more than 13 cm, it strengthens the possibility of King Tide. Eddy-like warm water contributes sea level anomaly of 17.4 cm in average, and the maximum of 26 cm in sea level. It contributes to the height of King Tide phenomenon by an average of 5.1% and a maximum of 7.8%. During the El Ni#westeur050#o period, there is no King Tide occurrence because the warm water moves eastward from the western tropical Pacific. The storm surge of tropical cyclone, tsunami, and ocean heat storage may have contributions to the sea level rise of King Tide but they are not significant. In prediction process, harmonic analysis is used to analyze the tidal characteristics and to calculate the harmonic constants of tidal constituents to estimate the sea level variation. We took 90% data (1993-2010) of sea level for analyzing, and the remaining 10% data (2010-2012) for testing the accuracy of prediction. The sea surface height anomalies derived from along-track satellite altimetry near Tuvalu are decomposed into six modes and one local trend by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method. The periods of EMD modes found by the Fourier transform analysis include 100-day, annual, quasi-biennial, inter-annual, and decadal oscillations. The sea level predictions compared with observation data shows a correlation coefficient of 0.988 with a root-mean-square error of 7.6 cm. This study provides a considerable reliability for flooding prediction.

This situation is particularly worrying in small island states such as the Republic of Kiribati and Tuvalu, since sea level rise and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events threaten the habitability of their territories. However, in its present configuration, the International Law does not include a legal framework for climate induced migrants. Given the need to develop mechanisms that ensure the legal recognition and the fundamental rights of these populations, the aim of this dissertation is to understand whether the human security agenda can contribute to the recognition and protection of climate induced migrants. Human security, as a policymaking - driven agenda, has fostered the broadening and deepening of traditional security definitions (mainly state - centred and military). Accordingly, human security identifies a multiplicity of threats and their articulation, thus recognizing the multidimensional impacts posed by climate change and its role on forced migrations. That may further its political relevancy and its ability to influence governments and international organizations in the issue of climate induced migrants’ protection. Therefore, drawing on Constructivism – and assuming that the international reality and national interests are socially constructed and changeable –, we want to assess the probability of the construction of a collective identity around human security, which materializes in political, normative and legal instruments that can secure the recognition and protection of climate induced migrants. Nevertheless, human security does not question the structures and power relations operating in the international system, thus, it can become a mechanism that perpetuates these same structures and not an instrument of effective protection. Relying on the Critical Theory, which questions the origins of the social institutions and power relations, we will analyse the role of human security in the reproduction of the existing interests and its effective potential to recognize and grant protection to climate induced migrants.
Ao longo do século XXI, é esperado que as alterações climáticas influenciem os fluxos migratórios globais, conduzindo ao aumento do número de pessoas que são forçadas a deslocar-se devido a condições climáticas adversas. Esta situação é particularmente gravosa em Estados insulares como a República do Kiribati e o Tuvalu, visto que a subida do nível das águas do mar e a ocorrência cada vez mais frequente de fenómenos climáticos extremos comprometem a habitabilidade dos seus territórios. Contudo, na sua configuração atual, o Direito Internacional não contempla o enquadramento legal dos migrantes climáticos. Perante a necessidade de desenvolver mecanismos que assegurem o reconhecimento legal e os direitos fundamentais destas populações, esta dissertação procurará compreender se a agenda de segurança humana poderá contribuir para o reconhecimento e proteção dos migrantes climáticos. A segurança humana, enquanto agenda direcionada para o policymaking, propiciou o alargamento e aprofundamento das definições tradicionais de segurança (sobretudo estatocêntricas e militares). Assim, ao identificar uma multiplicidade de ameaças e a sua articulação, a segurança humana reconhece os impactos multidimensionais das alterações climáticas e o seu papel na migração forçada de populações. Tal facto poderá conferir-lhe relevância política e uma capacidade para influenciar governos e organizações internacionais relativamente à proteção dos migrantes climáticos. Deste modo, recorrendo ao Construtivismo – e partindo do princípio de que a realidade internacional e os interesses nacionais são socialmente construídos e mutáveis –, pretende-se aferir a verosimilidade da construção de uma identidade coletiva em torno da segurança humana, que se materialize em instrumentos políticos, normativos e legais de reconhecimento e proteção dos migrantes climáticos. Contudo, ao não questionar as estruturas e relações de poder existentes no sistema internacional, a segurança humana corre o risco de se consubstanciar num mecanismo de reprodução dessas mesmas estruturas, e não num instrumento de proteção de facto. Mobilizando a Teoria Crítica, que questiona a origem das instituições sociais e das relações de poder, será analisado o contributo da segurança humana para a reprodução dos interesses vigentes e o seu efetivo potencial para reconhecer e conceder proteção aos migrantes climáticos.

The previous research has identified the benefits of participating in sport activities but the problem is how to make people continue to participate. The aim was to investigate relationships among group cohesion, team mental models, life satisfaction and intention to continue participating in sport activities that can contribute to literature for sports in Tuvalu. The target population was members of the eight islands sports clubs on Funafuti island, the capital of Tuvalu. Four hundred and sixty members of both gender (male 67.6% & female 32.4%) agreed to participate in this study. Participants responded to the survey questionnaire consisted of Group Environment scale, Team Mental Model scale, Group Development scale, Life Satisfaction scale, and Intention to continue scale. The structural equation modeling (SEM) conducted to analyze the hypothesis model has supported that the relationship between group cohesion and life satisfaction, group cohesion and team mental models were conceptually and statistically related. Cohesion has represented as the main variable that can predict the island sport club members intention to continue participating in sports. The SEM and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were calculated by using the LISREL version 8.9 to test the model fit of the constructs. In this study, measurements demonstrated that the overall model fit was partially met and there are directly influences between group cohesion and life satisfaction, group cohesion and team mental models, life satisfaction and intention and lastly team mental models and intention. The only relationship did not be supported that group cohesion can directly influence intention of sports club members to continue participating in sports.

Aid is a big part of the world’s development co-operation effort and there are two types of aids; (1) Humanitarian Aid and (2) Development Aid. This study focuses on the most common development aid known as Official Development Aid (ODA). ODA promotes economic development and welfare of developing countries, and it is seen as a “gold standard” of foreign aid. This thesis uses a case on Achieving Education for All in Tuvalu Program (AEfATP) funded by the Australian government to evaluate the impacts of foreign aid in Tuvalu’s education sector. The evaluation of the impacts of foreign aid focuses on the studied program’s success and failure status, as well as local’s perspective regarding the program and foreign aid in general. The study uses a qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews to obtain data and clarifications. The researcher found out that positive impacts of the studied program outweighs the negative impacts. The results show that the donor was able to assist and bridge the gaps of Tuvalu’s education sector. The funded program was able to provide financial assistance, improve education quality, improve school standards, provide of human resources, and established a functional information system (TEMIS) for Tuvalu’s education sector. Moreover, the researcher has also uncovered several setbacks and mishaps that have hindered the success of the studied program. It includes: misuse of funds, conditions in the agreement, conflict with third party, unable to meet the requirement of the funders, poor governance, poor management, manipulated data, and recruiting issue. Overall, the quality of the program is very minimal but its contribution to Tuvalu’s education sector made an adequate difference in the manner of materialistic needs of the sector.

Full textRozprawa poświęcona jest analizie szerokiego zakresu zjawisk związanych z rosyjskim buddyzmem i Internetem. Religia w Internecie staje się popularnym kierunkiem badań humanistycznych, jednak studia przypadków chrześcijaństwa i islamu zdecydowanie dominują nad naukami buddyjskimi, nie wspominając o eksploracji buddyzmu w rosyjskim Internecie. Dlatego od samego początku moje badania były prowadzone w sposób eksploracyjny. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, praca stanowi analizę zarówno Internetu w buddyzmie, jak i buddyzmu w Internecie. Innymi słowy, skupiłem się na badaniu działalności zarówno oficjalnych rosyjskich organizacji buddyjskich, jak i świeckich oraz ich energicznej aktywności w Internecie. Z takiej perspektywy na pierwszy plan wysuwają się kwestie tożsamości rosyjskich buddystów i wpływ ich osobliwości na to, co dzieje się w rosyjskojęzycznej przestrzeni wirtualnej. Takie podejście określiło dwa główne pytania badawcze: (1) kim są buddyjscy użytkownicy rosyjskiego Internetu? (2) w jaki sposób wykorzystują początkowo neutralne technologie internetowe i dlaczego? Rozprawa składa się z pięciu rozdziałów. Pierwsze dwa rozdziały poświęcone są pierwszemu pytaniu badawczemu. Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że prawie wszystkie szkoły i tradycje buddyzmu, takie jak Mahayana i Theravada; Buddyzm tybetański, południowy i dalekowschodni prezentowany jest w rosyjskim języku internetowym, rozdział I poświęcony jest opisowi buddyjskich tradycji offline. Wykazuję, że różne szkoły buddyzmu mają dziś znaczące różnice w podstawowych pytaniach: „kto jest Buddą?”, „Dokąd prowadzi ścieżka praktyki buddyjskiej?” Itp .; i raczej wyglądają jak różne religie. Rozdział II przedstawia przegląd buddyzmu w Rosji z ponad czterema wiekami historii, podczas którego fale ekspansji buddyzmu ukształtowały jego współczesny stan. Obecnie w Rosji istnieje wiele organizacji buddyjskich, a także subkultur związanych z buddyzmem, które istnieją w różnych formach, ale w większości nie wchodzą ze sobą w interakcje. Wspólnoty te stanowią różnorodność buddyjskich dyskursów, które mogą wpływać na współczesnych buddystów. Proponuję rozróżnić trzy główne dyskursy rosyjskiego buddyzmu: tradycyjny buddyzm, buddyjski modernizm i nowe ruchy religijne. Tradycyjny buddyzm kształtował się w rosyjskich regionach etnicznych Buriacji, Kałmucji i Tuwy przez kilka stuleci, a ugruntowane środowisko buddyjskie, w którym świeccy przeważnie pojmowali buddyzm poprzez tradycje, rytuały i liczne obiekty sakralne, a także honorując lamów i otrzymując od nich praktyczne rady. Bardziej głębokie praktyki w tym modelu są prerogatywą duchowieństwa. Buddyjski modernizm pod wieloma względami wywodził się z rosyjskiej buddologii i ostatecznie powstał podczas ekspansji różnych światowych społeczności buddyjskich na Zachód, w tym Rosji. W globalnych społecznościach buddyjskich nacisk kładzie się na adaptację buddyjskiej teorii i praktyk monastycznych dla świeckich. W ten sposób model ten koncentruje się na buddyjskiej teorii i praktyce medytacji oraz zakłada dystrybucję specjalistycznej literatury i wycieczki buddyjskich nauczycieli z wykładami na całym świecie. Nowe ruchy religijne buddyzmu stanowią pewną formę synkretyzmu religijnego różnych religii Wschodu, w tym buddyzmu, często orientalizowanego. Ruchy te tworzą różne subkultury, których członkowie uważają się za buddystów. Taka różnorodność buddyjskich dyskursów jest konsekwencją demokratycznego charakteru buddyzmu, który od samego początku wykluczał nacisk ze strony władz. Dlatego we współczesnej Rosji trudno jest mówić o jednym przywódcy lub dominującej organizacji buddyjskiej. Odpowiadając na pierwsze pytanie, możemy stwierdzić, że buddyjscy użytkownicy rosyjskiego Internetu są heterogenicznymi organizacjami buddyjskimi, często niezwiązanymi ze sobą, kierującymi się różnymi zasadami religijnymi w zależności od tradycji buddyjskiej, do której należą. Jeśli chodzi o buddystów i ich tożsamości, staje się jasne, że każdy użytkownik, który identyfikuje się jako buddysta, może mieć zupełnie inne pomysły na temat doktryny buddyjskiej i formy, w jakich powinna być praktykowana. Dlatego dochodzę do wniosku, że studiując buddyzm i buddystów w Rosji, nie można opracować sztywnej klasyfikacji i dlatego każdy przypadek i każdego przedstawiciela w Internecie należy rozpatrywać kontekstowo. Następne trzy rozdziały poświęcone są drugiemu pytaniu badawczemu: w jaki sposób użytkownicy buddyjscy używają początkowo neutralnych technologii internetowych i dlaczego? Rozdział III przedstawia przegląd technologii internetowych jako jakościowo nowej przestrzeni dla rosyjskiego buddyzmu. Śledziłem popularny podział na Web 1.0 i Web 2.0. Podział ten umożliwił skupienie się na logice rozwoju technologii internetowych, która polegała na uproszczeniu użytkowania i zwiększeniu liczby użytkowników do tworzenia, konsumpcji i rozpowszechniania informacji. Badając działalność oficjalnych organizacji buddyjskich w Rosji w Internecie w rozdziale IV, dochodzę do wniosku, że aktywność w Internecie jest często z góry określana przez potrzebę ekspansji lub problemy powstałe w wyniku ekspansji. Urządzenia internetowe w pewnym stopniu mogą rozwiązać te problemy, przechwytując żywe domeny lub autoprezentację w celu przyciągnięcia nowych użytkowników, a także symulując rzeczywisty kontakt buddyjskich nauczycieli z odległymi zwolennikami globalnych sieci buddyjskich. Tego typu działania internetowe różnią się i zależą od cech religijnych tradycji buddyjskiej. Dochodzę do wniosku, że osobliwości Mahajany w wielu aspektach blokują przekazywanie praktyk buddyjskich w Internecie. Dlatego organizacje buddyjskie Mahajany albo próbują pokonać te przeszkody, albo ograniczyć swoje działania w przestrzeni wirtualnej. Cechy Therawady, takie jak brak świętych przekazów i większy nacisk na teksty, są korzystne dla korzystania z Internetu. Analiza pokazuje, że większość organizacji buddyjskich reprezentowanych w Internecie należy do buddyjskiego dyskursu modernizmu. Brak zainteresowania Internetem ze strony tradycyjnych społeczności buddyjskich w Rosji można wyjaśnić brakiem rozległych aspiracji, specyficznych osobliwości religijnych i tradycji interakcji. W takim buddyjskim krajobrazie zwykły użytkownik szukający religii w Internecie częściej spotyka „globalne” społeczności buddyjskie, które zajmują centralne miejsce, a nie tradycyjne organizacje buddyjskie, które leżą na peryferiach lub po prostu nie występują w Internecie. W rozdziale V przedstawiam wyniki długotrwałego zanurzenia się w społeczności buddyjskie w sieci społecznej Vkontakte, gdzie odbywa się większość buddyjskich działań internetowych. Gęstość i intensywność informacji i przepływów użytkowników w społeczności buddyzmu Vkontakte uzasadniały jego wybór jako główne pole do analizy. W trakcie badań udało mi się odnotować wiele zjawisk, które w ogólności są wynikiem wzajemnych powiązań różnych typów buddystów i można je opisać jako konflikty i dialogi społeczności buddyjskich w Rosji w Internecie. Postanowiono podzielić zidentyfikowane przypadki na cztery podsekcje, gdzie każda podsekcja ma na celu opisanie konkretnego obszaru wzajemnych powiązań. Pierwszy podrozdział „Buddyjskie idee a New Age” pokazuje pojawienie się interakcji konfliktowych ze względu na różne poglądy na idee buddyjskie, kiedy treści rzadko związane z buddyzmem prowadzą do walki o „prawdziwość” i stworzenie społeczności „ekspertów”, która „oczyszcza” obraz buddyzmu w Internecie. Podrozdział „Theravada vs Mahayana” przedstawia przypadki, w których procesy „oczyszczania” zamieniają się w walkę o prawdziwość już w stabilnej społeczności buddystów, a konkretnie pomiędzy przedstawicielami Buddyzmu Theravada i Mahayana. Następny podrozdział „online vs offline” opisuje konflikty między „idealnym” buddyzmem internetowym a tradycyjnym buddyzmem offline. Korzystając z tych podrozdziałów, pokazuję, że zanurzenie w środowisku Internetu buddyzmu tworzy doświadczenie hiper-rzeczywistości, które wpływa na tożsamość religijną i może prowadzić do zmiany opinii, w tym przynależności do określonej tradycji buddyjskiej. Po studiach przypadków konfliktów następują przypadki współpracy online w formie petycji elektronicznych, w których przedstawiam próby różnych społeczności buddyjskich, by zjednoczyć się przeciwko pojawiającym się problemom świata buddyjskiego. Przedstawiam dwie sprawy podkreślające złożone powiązania buddyjskich społeczności w Rosji, które w zależności od ideologicznego komponentu mogą prowadzić do konsolidacji lub zerwania i wpływać na potencjał wspólnych działań buddyjskich społeczności internetowych. Przypadki rozważane w tej rozprawie pokazują, że przytłaczająca większość zjawisk zachodzących w Internecie pojawia się przede wszystkim z powodu różnorodności buddyzmu i buddystów w Rosji. Chaotyczna eksploracja wirtualnej przestrzeni stworzyła opisane powyżej buddyjskie środowisko internetowe. Brak zainteresowania oficjalnymi społecznościami buddyjskimi w Internecie sugeruje, że obecny stan rzeczy raczej nie zmieni się znacząco. Niemniej jednak badania nad rozwojem buddyzmu w rosyjskojęzycznym internecie są przedmiotem dalszych zainteresowań akademickich, biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że codzienne korzystanie z Internetu na całym świecie będzie nadal rosło, a w tych warunkach wpływ buddyjskich społeczności internetowych na rosyjską przestrzeń religijna będzie się również rozwijać i umacniać.
