Beth Kanopsic received a Malone Fellowship from the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations to visit Qatar. During her fellowship, she gave numerous presentations about her experiences in Qatar to various schools and organizations, reaching over 500 people total. Her presentations covered topics like her experiences with Model Arab League, Al Jazeera, Qatar's development, and Qatar's energy resources. She also wrote articles about her fellowship that were published on websites and in newspapers to further educate others.
This document summarizes the Cyprus 2015 initiative, a research and dialogue project on the future of Cyprus. The project aims to contribute to improved public debate and trust between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities through participatory research and bi-communal/mono-communal stakeholder panels. Main findings from the research include both communities hoping for peace but fearing change, as well as a lack of trust and a need for compromise. The project strengths include bringing people together for dialogue, while challenges include suspicions of outside groups and keeping stakeholders engaged over time.
This document summarizes a presentation on the role of national and regional universities in building and sustaining a quality culture. The presentation outlines that universities have a special obligation to set an example through their core values of integrity, intellectual freedom, and excellence. It discusses how universities can build capacity by partnering with others and providing technical support. The presentation also notes the importance of universities participating in research through conferences, publications, and exploring topics related to quality assurance. Developing a new paradigm is discussed in the context of quality assurance systems originating in other parts of the world needing to be transferable to less developed countries.
This document summarizes Benjamin Wargo's master's thesis defense on measuring the boundaries and assessing the efficiencies of shared spaces. It defines shared spaces as areas where pedestrians and vehicles interact without clear demarcations. Wargo studied several international examples and found shared spaces reduce vehicle speeds, improve aesthetics, can increase safety, reduce vehicle delay, and increase walkability compared to conventional intersections. He used traffic simulation software to predict delays and found shared spaces had significantly lower predicted and measured delays. Further research is needed to better understand why shared spaces are more efficient and evaluate the accuracy of the traffic modeling software in predicting shared space performance.
This two-day symposium in April 2017 at Vancouver Island University will promote discussion on innovations in community-based research and management for sustainable indigenous tourism development in Canada. It is funded by SSHRC and organized by Ryerson University, Vancouver Island University, and others. The event will feature indigenous speakers and research presentations, and allow both in-person and online participation through a virtual think tank and social media. Registration is now open at an early bird rate until February 28th.
This document summarizes the 10th Annual CGC Academic Conference on the theme of "Failure". The conference welcomes presenters from across Canada and internationally to share academic research on various types of failures. It thanks the organizers, sponsors, and volunteers who have helped plan and support the multi-day event. The document includes the full conference schedule detailing the various panels, presenters, topics, and keynote speakers. It acknowledges those who have contributed to the success of the conference over its ten year history.
Website accessibility refers to making websites usable by as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. It allows everyone to participate and tap into their full potential. Approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are colorblind, so accessibility aims to define a more intuitive experience for all users through standards like usable color combinations and clear formatting. Increasing accessibility can also open up a larger market, as U.S. adults with disabilities represent about $490 billion in total disposable income. Examples of accessible websites include those created by Google, the Web Accessibility Initiative, and wedding website Brides.com.

International Organizations: Roadmap for CollaborationGoutama Bachtiar
Full paper submitted for 63rd International Council for Educational Media (ICEM) Annual Conference 2013 in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore written by University of Central Florida Emeritus Prof. Richard Cornell as lead author whilst the co-authors are Harvard Prof. Robert Doyle, Arizona State University Emeritus Prof. Marina McIsaac, Northern Arizona State University Prof. Chih-Hsiung Tu, University of Texas at Brownsville Asst. Prof. Cheng-Chang (Sam) Pan and myself Goutama Bachtiar.
The document summarizes the activities of FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) and its President over the past few months. It discusses FIGO's work on issues like non-communicable diseases, climate change, contraception access, and its new project on post-partum IUD services. It also describes the FIGO President's attendance at various OB/GYN conferences around the world and the successful first FIGO Africa Regional Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Preparations are underway for the next FIGO World Congress in Vancouver in 2015.
This document is a report from the 51st United Nations Graduate Study Programme held in Geneva from July 1-14, 2013 on the theme of "Gender equality and the empowerment of women". It includes introductory remarks, the programme agenda, and five working papers produced by participants assigned to groups moderated by various UN agencies. The papers address topics related to gender perspectives on youth employment, rights of migrant domestic workers, gender equality in the HIV response, women in the fisheries sector in Gambia, and reducing gender-based violence in Haiti. In his closing remarks, the Chef de Cabinet emphasizes the importance of gender equality and women's empowerment as UN priorities, highlights some recent progress and ongoing challenges, and areas the
In all of this, it is the poor in rural and peri-urban areas that suffer the most. More than one billion people are without access to safe drinking water and 2.4 billion people lack basic sanitation. Each year, some 1.7 million people (4,740 every day) die because of deficient water and sanitation. If these current figures are shocking, the outlook is no better. By 2025, it is estimated that more than half of the people on our planet will be living with water scarcity.
The 21 case studies contained in this volume offer examples of hands-on experience in addressing these issues and others in 18 countries of the South. Together, they offer vital lessons to people interested in their replication or adaptation. However, they by no means represent the entire range of similar initiatives now being undertaken throughout the global South; this would go beyond the scope of our particular knowledge-sharing objective.
This volume therefore aims not only to inspire countries and communities to draw upon these innovations for their own needs but also to stimulate the international community to support the sharing of such development knowledge on a South- South and a triangular basis.
The document provides information about the 2015 University of British Columbia Model United Nations (UBCMUN) conference. It includes the conference theme of "Confluence", meaning a merging or flowing together of people and ideas. It lists the secretary-general and other leadership positions. It outlines the conference schedule with various committee sessions taking place over three days. It also includes information about dress code, events locations, and the topics that will be discussed in different committee rooms.
Agenda for the High-Level Seminar on Gender, Law and Public Policy: Trends in...CiaraMuller
The High-Level Seminar will seek to understand ways in which governments and non-governmental organizations address remaining gender concerns in public life in the MENA region; and national approaches and good practices in closing gender gaps in national laws and enhancing compliance with international commitments.
The document discusses initiatives that can be taken by doctors and healthcare facilities to improve the environment. It suggests that hospitals, as healing spaces, should maintain clean sanitation to reduce infections and increase patient compliance. Healthcare facilities could source food locally to reduce industrial supply and support local farms. The document also recommends recycling, reusing, and composting biomedical waste produced in hospitals to reduce economic costs and environmental impacts. Using safe chemicals and non-toxic materials like PVC-free flooring in hospitals is also proposed. Finally, it states that doctors can raise environmental awareness among the public by collaborating with local organizations to build a sustainable eco-friendly system.
The document summarizes a community forum on climate change hosted by Lighter Footprints in Melbourne, Australia. 80 people participated in presentations and small group discussions on climate literacy, solutions, and stakeholder responsibilities. Participants felt that climate literacy in the community is generally poor and more education is needed, through schools, community forums, and improved media reporting. Improving understanding of the science of climate change and its implications was seen as vital to enabling informed debate and political action on climate solutions. Suggestions to increase literacy included more education programs, short courses, and using various media to convey that addressing climate change can maintain or improve quality of life.
Adaptation Futures 2016 covered a wide range of topics, from social science research focused on gender, to challenges with policy implementation, to the latest concepts in green urban design.
Many ASSAR members attended this conference as delegates, presenters and workshop leaders. In this Spotlight our team members recount their experiences of the conference and describe the work they presented there.
This document is the World Youth Report 2013, which focuses on youth migration and development. It provides an overview of key topics related to youth migration based on consultations with young migrants.
The report finds that while youth migration can have positive impacts through remittances and skills transfer, it also presents many challenges for young migrants. Factors like lack of access to information, high costs, and limited social networks make migration planning difficult for youth. Once in transit or destination countries, migrants face issues like lack of secure housing, unemployment, healthcare access, and social exclusion.
The report emphasizes the need for youth awareness and engagement on migration topics. It highlights examples where youth-led initiatives have helped migrants access information, build social
This document is the World Youth Report 2013, which focuses on youth migration and development. It provides an overview of key topics related to youth migration based on consultations with young migrants themselves.
The report finds that youth are motivated to migrate for a variety of reasons, including family influences and economic opportunities. It examines the challenges young migrants face in preparing for migration, including accessing necessary information and financing their move. While migration can benefit individuals and communities through remittances, it also separates families and presents health and social risks.
The report also explores the experiences of youth migrants in transit countries and destination societies. It discusses difficulties obtaining housing, employment, education and healthcare. However, youth are actively working to raise awareness on migration
The document summarizes the 2013 One Young World Summit, an annual conference that brings together young leaders from around the world. Over 1,250 delegates from 190 countries attended the summit, which was held for the first time in Africa. The summit provides a forum for young people to debate solutions to global issues and network with influential leaders. OFID sponsored several delegates to the summit from developing countries. The main topics discussed at the summit included education, business, human rights, leadership, sustainable development, and youth unemployment.

Jointly organised by the Supreme Council for Women in the Kingdom of Bahrain and the MENA-OECD Governance Programme.
This document summarizes a training program called "Women Leaders in International Relations" that will take place in Brussels from July 8-12, 2013. The training is a partnership between several organizations including the Woodrow Wilson International Center and the Italian Cultural Institute in Brussels. The goal is to provide emerging women leaders in public service and international relations intensive training on skills like leadership, communication, and negotiating in male-dominated environments. Topics will also include managing work-life balance internationally. Speakers will include prominent women leaders like Anne Marie Slaughter and Marta Dassù. The program aims to support more women in influential roles in foreign policy and global affairs.
The World Youth Report 2013—Youth Migration and Development is the product of the efforts, contributions and support of many people and organizations. From the outset, the process of developing the Report involved a range of participatory
consultations designed to draw on the perspectives of youth on how migration affects them. These consultative sessions
included a five-week e-consultation process, a survey on youth migration and development, a call for visual art
illustrating the daily life experiences of young migrants as well as youth initiatives on migration and development,
and a Google+ Hangout held on 6 March 2013 to identify sustainable solutions for addressing youth migration challenges.

Environment and globalization five proposistionsDr Lendy Spires
This document discusses the linkages between environment and globalization. It begins by noting that globalization and environmental concerns have been linked since the 1960s-1970s, as environmental problems often cross borders and require global cooperation. The document aims to re-examine these links in the current context of debates on globalization. It presents five propositions highlighting specific aspects of the environment-globalization relationship that are important for policymaking. The document was produced independently for the UN Environment Programme to inform discussions on this topic.

2017 saw many of our projects flourish, facilitated by fewer financial management constraints. We have become better
organised, produced research that is as valuable as ever and have been in greater demand, particularly by the socio-economic world. These favourable conditions have reinforced our influence in France and abroad. They have also helped us forge new partnerships. Within the framework of the Future Investments Programme, we obtained the certification of the I-Site FUTURE, which is a sign of the recognition of the scientific and institutional excellence of the project to create an establishment that we are jointly undertaking with our neighbouring partners: UPEM, ESIEE Paris, EAVT, EIVP,
IGN and ENPC.
Le congrès dédié à l'innovation de la rue et la route électriques.
Le congrès ELECTRIC-ROAD s'est déroulé du 18 au 19 juin 2018 à la Cité des Congrès de Nantes.
Née de la rencontre entre l’ingénierie, la veille, le conseil en stratégie et la communication, la plateforme des congrès ELECTRIC-ROAD se positionne comme un observatoire, un forum d’expertises et d’expériences, un media-center et une vitrine au service d'une mobilité propre pour tous les types de transports. C’est en outre un carrefour de rencontres participant à la naissance d’une nouvelle filière industrielle..
Au programme : conférences plénières, ateliers R&D, espace exposition.
L'année 2017 a vu un épanouissement de nombre de nos projets, facilité par une gestion financière plus sereine. Nous nous sommes mieux structurés, avons produit une recherche toujours aussi riche et avons été davantage sollicités, notamment par le monde socioéconomique. Ces bonnes conditions ont consolidé notre rayonnement en France comme à l’international. Elles ont aussi été propices à la création de nouvelles alliances. Nous avons obtenu la labellisation de l’I-Site FUTURE dans le cadre du Programme d’investissements d’avenir, marque de reconnaissance de l’excellence scientifique et institutionnelle du projet d’établissement que nous partageons avec nos partenaires voisins : l’UPEM, ESIEE Paris, l’EAVT, l’EIVP, l’IGN et l’ENPC.

L'année 2016 nous a permis de faire un point d'étape important dans notre évolution : nous avons été évalué par l'Hceres, nous avons fait le bilan de notre premier Contrat d’objectifs et de performance, de notre stratégie scientifique, et nous avons négocié notre deuxième contrat avec l’État. Les départements ont continué à produire de la recherche de très bonne qualité, nous avons participé à de nombreux projets d’IDEX ou d’I-Site couronnés de succès, et… pendant ce temps, les services support ont jonglé avec la GBCP (Gestion budgétaire et comptable publique). Nous avons accru notre visibilité au niveau national et international, en confirmant la pertinence de nos sujets.

Les structures de recherche de l’Ifsttar ont été particulièrement sollicitées depuis l’année 2014, avec la préparation de leurs dossiers d’évaluation par le HCERES fin 2014, par celle de l’établissement pour tous les aspects gouvernance et management fin 2015, par la réflexion désormais achevée sur les thématiques prioritaires de
l’Ifsttar et l’élaboration d’un nouveau Contrat d’Objectifs et de Performance, pour la période 2017-20121.
Les équipes vont pouvoir disposer en 2017 d’une année relativement légère en sollicitations stratégiques - les
évaluations sont passées, une stratégie scientifique à 10 ans précisée a été validée en conseil scientifique et en conseil d’administration - et se concentrer sur leur cœur de métier. Cela n’empêchera évidemment pas de suivre avec attention les suites données aux recommandations faites par les comités d’expert mandatés par le HCERES, avec un examen à mi-parcours en Conseil Scientifique de l’Ifsttar.
L’année 2017 devrait être particulière sur deux volets :
1- La mise en œuvre du nouveau Contrat d’Objectifs et de Performance 2017-2021 de l’Ifsttar.
2- Les suites des structurations des grands ensembles d’enseignement et de recherche, issues ou portées par les réponses aux appels lancés dans le cadre du PIA2, en particulier les projets d’IdEx et d’I-Site, en lien avec les différents sites de l’Ifsttar.
(voir également les annexes du programmes de recherche 2017)
Version précisée suite à la démarche « thématiques prioritaires ». Ce document présente une version « précisée » de la « stratégie scientifique à 10 ans », élaborée en 2012. En repartant des « questions de recherche » des quatre défis initiaux de la stratégie scientifique, ont été listées celles sur lesquelles l’Ifsttar estime qu'il pourra se positionner en conservant un impact significatif (publications, valorisation, expertise, appui aux politiques publiques). Cette sélection se fonde sur la démarche de priorisation des thématiques scientifiques, menée au sein de l'Ifsttar de 2014 à 2016. Elle a été validée en Conseil Scientifique de l’Ifsttar le 23 novembre 2016.

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.

WIiT Paris 2014 : Women's Issues in Transportation
1. Minister Roselyn Bachelot talked of the strong influ-
ence her family had on her choice of politics and advocacy. She shared stories of mini-
mization early in her career— clearly these made her stronger and more resolute as
she navigated her leadership path.
Dr. Sandi Rosenbloom brought new light to the importance of not only using data to
understand what is occurring but to incorporate anecdotal evidence. She gave exam-
ples of cultural differences in behavior that inform us in a different way about travel
behaviors.
Sharing from their re-
search and experiences,
the distinguished panelists
opened the conference
with messages for the
participants to consider as
they listen to all of the
research that is brought to
life this week.
Facilitated by Therese
