Overview of GFRAS Extension Evaluation Initiative AFAAS
The document summarizes discussions from a meeting in Wageningen on evaluating rural extension programs. Key points include:
- There is increasing interest in more rigorously evaluating rural advisory services (RAS) to improve effectiveness and accountability.
- Guidance is needed on appropriate evaluation methods given the complex nature of extension systems and attribution challenges.
- The meeting aimed to build regional capacity for RAS assessments and evaluations through developing training materials on evaluation approaches and competencies.
- Recommendations included increasing tools and case studies on evaluation, focusing on learning over metrics, and clarifying the roles of organizations like GFRAS in supporting evaluation efforts.

This document discusses strategies for advising doctoral students to completion in 3 years. It describes restructuring a program to be cohort-based with an EdD instead of PhD focus. Selection involves ensuring fit and commitment. Advisers provide early, ongoing availability and structure curriculum around developing problems of practice. Students start work on their dissertation proposal in the first term. Advisers "nag" and support students, keeping the focus on finishing while allowing for changing goals over time. Relationship building and asking for needed support are also emphasized.

This document outlines the IAR4D (Integrated Agricultural Research for Development) concept which proposes a new approach to agricultural research and development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The traditional linear model is being replaced by an interactive innovation systems approach that engages multiple stakeholders. Nine pilot projects are testing the IAR4D framework across three regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. The goals are to generate international public goods, improve benefits to end users over conventional approaches, and assess sustainability and scalability. Key principles include addressing both technical and institutional constraints holistically, and establishing innovation platforms to jointly identify problems and solutions through iterative learning and reflection.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document provides information on two doctoral programs in education: the Ed.D. in Education and the Executive Ed.D. in Educational Leadership offered by the University of Central Florida.
The Ed.D. in Education is a 54-credit hour program focused on solving complex problems of practice. It follows a 9-semester course sequence culminating in a dissertation in practice. The Executive Ed.D. in Educational Leadership is also a 54-credit hour program preparing students to be agents of change in K-12 and higher education organizations. It includes courses in educational leadership, research, and a field project, and follows a similar 9-semester structure. Both programs aim to advance students' careers and have strong placement
This document discusses the difference between doctoral cohorts and learning communities in the context of a graduate program. It defines cohorts as groups that progress through a degree program together based on start date and schedule. Learning communities are defined as groups that actively seek and share learning and act on what they learn. The program aimed to structure cohorts as learning communities but found they functioned more like cohorts, without intentionally building community. It considers how programs could be designed differently to truly establish learning communities based on shared leadership, values, creativity, conditions and practice.

This document is the academic dissertation of Erik Türon Smidstrup Skibsted submitted to the University of Amsterdam in 2005 to obtain a PhD degree. The dissertation focuses on the use of vibrational spectroscopy and chemometrics for real-time release and quality control of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms manufacturing processes. Chapter 1 provides background on regulatory initiatives like the FDA's PAT guidance that aim to facilitate the implementation of process analytical technology. Chapter 2 gives an overview of vibrational spectroscopy techniques. Chapters 3-5 present applications of near-infrared spectroscopy for quality monitoring and release of tablet manufacturing processes. The dissertation aims to contribute to the development and implementation of PAT in the pharmaceutical industry.
This document discusses the five generations of computers from vacuum tubes to artificial intelligence. The first generation used vacuum tubes which were bulky, unreliable and required air conditioning. The second generation used transistors which were smaller but still required maintenance. The third generation used integrated circuits which generated less heat but still needed air conditioning sometimes. The fourth generation used microprocessors which were the smallest yet and generated negligible heat. The fifth generation involves artificial intelligence and has advantages like being noninvasive but also has disadvantages like being expensive and requiring operator understanding.
