All Things Being Equal, perspectives on disability in developmentJonathan Flower
This document discusses perspectives on disability and development. It notes that an estimated 600 million people worldwide have disabilities, yet disabled people are often invisible and excluded from society. While international agreements have established disabled people's rights, in reality many social barriers prevent them from fully participating in community activities. The document calls for a more inclusive approach to development that sees disabled people as active participants rather than helpless recipients, and ensures their rights to participate in decisions, access appropriate care, and be included in everyday community activities.
Accessibility and women with disabilities 2013samarthyamindia
This document discusses accessibility issues faced by women with disabilities in India. It summarizes key provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) related to accessibility, mobility, discrimination, and participation. Women with disabilities in India face numerous barriers, including inaccessible infrastructure, lack of accessible public services, and increased risk of violence and abuse. The document recommends amending and adding to CEDAW provisions from the UNCRPD to better address the needs of women with disabilities and promote their full and equal participation.

It outlines both successes and challenges of the UNCRC, including its focus on disability issues in Article 23. Key successes included increased scrutiny of government reports, a general comment on disabled children's rights, and greater self-advocacy. However, violations of disabled children's rights persisted due to neglect, abuse, segregation, and lack of participation and disaggregated data. The document recommends improvements like revising Article 23's language, increased collaboration between disability and children's rights groups, and promoting self-adv
This thesis examines how new technologies like driverless cars could help address transportation challenges faced by people with disabilities. It begins with a brief history of disability policy in the US, from early institutions like schools for the deaf, to the shift in the 20th century to view disability as a civil rights issue. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 aimed to prevent discrimination, but challenges remain around financial instability and lack of transportation options. New technologies may help overcome these challenges by enabling on-demand transportation services tailored to individual needs. The thesis proposes a pilot program in Connecticut to test autonomous vehicles for paratransit services.

The human rights model frames disability as a social relationship, where society must remove barriers to inclusion.

The human rights approach transforms perceptions and actions to promote equal rights and participation of people with disabilities in society.
Disabled people face high levels of unemployment due to social, cultural, and economic barriers. Legislation like the ADA and IDEA aimed to promote equality, but discrimination persists due to the recency of the disability rights movement. Three systems contribute to unemployment - an inadequate social structure without longstanding protections; cultural assumptions that disabled people are unreliable, expensive, and litigious; and disincentives around healthcare costs. Changing these assumptions requires communication from both society and the disabled community that common beliefs are untrue and disabled people are capable employees. Companies could improve by adopting a model like IBM that views accessibility and inclusion as competitive advantages. Overall, greater understanding is needed regarding the capabilities of disabled people and barriers that still limit their equality and

CBM has supported the hospital for 34 years to provide sight-restoring surgeries and rehabilitation to the rural poor in Malawi.
The document discusses the problem of blindness globally and the potential solution of Vision 2020. It notes that in 1994, 50 million people were blind from various causes like cataract, trachoma, vitamin A deficiency, with 60% of blindness from cataract. It states that 80% of blindness is preventable or curable. The Vision 2020 initiative aims to reduce blindness worldwide by implementing inexpensive interventions like cataract surgery for $20 and tetracycline ointment for $2.50. The initiative has the potential to reduce blindness by 13 million people by 2020.
Jeanne Nsimba, a 59-year-old woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo, received cataract surgery on her right eye at the Evangelical Hospital of Vanga. The surgery was performed by Dr. Kilangalanga, and afterwards Jeanne's bandage was removed and her eyes were tested to ensure the operation was successful. The surgery helped restore Jeanne's vision and allow her to see again, thanks to donations provided to the Christian Blind Mission by charitable supporters.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
