Older people improving their wellbeing 3 3 [compatibility mode]WRVS
This document outlines a research project that aims to involve older people in the UK in defining and improving their well-being. It will do this through a participatory research approach involving older adults in all stages of the research from design to dissemination. The goals are to understand how older adults conceptualize well-being, identify ways to maximize it, and address barriers. Five pilot sites will trial locally-led activities to support well-being in a mutual and capacity-building manner. Findings will then be widely disseminated to transform support offered by organizations for older adults.
Communication for Development (C4D) is a strategic process that promotes positive social change through consultation and participation. It uses a mix of communication tools to support programs in areas like health, education, and child protection. Key C4D strategies include advocacy, social mobilization, and behavior change communication. An effective C4D process involves communication analysis, strategy development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. It aims to create enabling environments that give voice to marginalized groups and ensure the participation of children.

This document discusses Internews' 30 years of work improving humanitarian assistance through enhanced communication between aid agencies and crisis-affected populations. It provides examples of projects in Central African Republic, Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, and Mali that set up radio networks and trained journalists and aid workers to foster two-way information sharing. A program in Chad called "Carrefour des femmes" used a local radio station to discuss issues important to refugee women such as health, education, and empowerment. The document emphasizes that the goal is not just giving people a voice but focusing on effective communication between communities and aid organizations to improve crisis response.
This document discusses the tools and techniques of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). PRA is an approach that aims to empower local people through participation. It involves using various visual and interactive methods to share information, enhance understanding, analyze problems, and plan and take action. Some key PRA tools discussed are social mapping, resource mapping, seasonal calendars, timelines, matrix ranking, and focus group discussions. The document outlines the principles and goals of PRA, as well as guidelines for effectively applying its tools and techniques in a participatory manner.
- Portuguese immigration to the US started in the 19th century, with immigrants intending to permanently settle, while Brazilian immigration in the 20th century was initially viewed as temporary.
- These Portuguese and Brazilian diaspora communities in the US generally do not interact, extending to academia, with identity issues a concern.
- Promoting collaboration between the communities could help maintain and expand the Portuguese language in the US, as seen with collaboration between Hispanic communities, despite national differences.
- With over 280 million speakers globally and Brazil's growing economic influence, promoting Portuguese language and culture jointly has significant potential benefits.
The Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) was created in 1996 by 7 states including Portugal, Brazil, and Cape Verde to promote cooperation and friendship among Portuguese speaking nations. East Timor and Equatorial Guinea have since joined. The CPLP flag symbolizes the union of its members represented by waves for the sea connecting them. The CPLP aims to strengthen cooperation across areas like education, health, and culture while promoting the Portuguese language through projects. Language is crucial to the CPLP as it brings members together and is the backbone of activities to increase its use and teaching worldwide. The potential of the Portuguese language includes increasing a country's international projection and attracting economic resources through the Lusophone countries

LIDAR technology uses 3D imaging to process point clouds that can segment static and moving objects. The thesis analyzes LIDAR's importance and point cloud processing steps. It focuses on shape segmentation, which is key for security systems and urban modeling. It overviews implemented procedures like column, billboard, and pedestrian extraction based on geometry. The thesis also introduces a two-part system - one annotates and labels point cloud sequences, while the other loads data to define statistics and classify unlabeled shapes using these statistics. The applicability of these statistical methods depends on factors like the number and similarity of objects and classified sets.

Aristotle, frye, and the theory of tragedy, by leon goldenMariane Farias
This article compares Aristotle and Northrop Frye's theories of tragedy. While Aristotle provides a precise definition of an ideal tragedy, it fails to account for many works historically considered tragedies. Frye attempts to analyze the full range of tragic works, but lacks Aristotle's rigor. The author argues a theory reconciling their approaches is possible, by considering four parameters in Aristotle's analysis: the hero's moral stature; the nature of his error; his destiny; and the means of presentation. This could do justice to the genre's variety while establishing its definition.
Most African Americans descended from enslaved West and Central Africans. Ancient African civilizations like Egypt, Nubia, Ghana, Mali, and Songhai had advanced governments, trade networks, and centers of learning. Egypt made major contributions to mathematics, science, and medicine. The Bible references ancient African peoples and kingdoms. Figures like Moses and Jesus may have been influenced by African spirituality and monotheism. Ancient African manuscripts in Timbuktu and Djenne showed a tradition of African scholarship.
Northrop Frye's Archetype of LiteratureDilip Barad
Northrop Frye's theory of archetypes defines archetypes as recurring symbols or images in literature that can be recognized across works. Frye believed that by plotting important aspects of stories, patterns or archetypes would emerge that stories may diverge from but can be used to understand literature. He asserted that all narratives fall into four categories - comedy, romance, tragedy, and satire - each with six phases that overlap the categories before and after. Frye also linked these categories to seasons and explored how symbols are interpreted differently depending on the narrative category, such as animals being docile in comedy and predatory in tragedy.
The document provides information about Africa, including its geography, people, languages, education, and literature. It notes that Africa is the second largest continent, separated from Asia by the Suez Canal and Red Sea. It describes the complex diversity of Africa's people and over 800 languages spoken. It highlights some of Africa's most prominent authors like Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The document also discusses Africa's rich tradition of oral literature and praise singing, as well as the variation in education standards across Africa.
This document provides an overview of African literature, including its origins and development. It discusses the oral traditions that formed the early literary background in Africa and how written literature later emerged through interactions with Islam, Christianity, and colonialism. Major genres like novels, poetry, and plays are examined. The document also profiles important literary movements like Negritude and analyzes works by seminal African writers such as Senghor, Soyinka, Achebe, and others who addressed themes of identity, culture, and the African experience.
The document is a summary of African literature that was prepared by Pooja N. Trivedi for her MA course. It discusses that African literature has a long oral tradition and in the 20th century became more institutionalized. It is produced in various African languages and also in European languages as a result of colonialism. The literature also served as a reaction against the distorted European image of Africa and aimed to debunk colonial views and support nation building.
The document discusses the objectives of learning about Africa's rich cultural heritage and literature. It provides background information on Africa, including its population, location, climate, and natural resources like agriculture, woods, minerals, oil, and fresh water. It then discusses African literature, including oral literature traditions as well as literature written in colonial languages of French, Portuguese, and English. Oral literature serves to educate, entertain, and remind communities of their history, traditions, and customs.
African literature consists of oral traditions and written works in various languages and genres. Oral traditions were the primary form of literature in sub-Saharan Africa and included stories, histories, myths, songs, proverbs and other expressions used to educate and entertain. With colonization, Europeans tried to suppress African cultures and impose their own. Nelson Mandela was a prominent anti-apartheid revolutionary who became South Africa's first black president and led the transition from minority rule to democracy.

Making the right to health a reality to Indigenous People in Brazil IDS
The document summarizes Brazil's efforts to provide universal healthcare coverage, particularly for indigenous peoples, through its public health system (SUS). It discusses how the SUS expanded coverage from 1.1 million people in 1994 to 96.1 million in 2009, and reduced infant mortality rates from 47.1 to 19.3 per 1000 births from 1990 to 2007. It also notes indigenous peoples still face health inequities, with infant mortality rates of 22.9 for whites, 34.9 for blacks, and 51.14 for indigenous peoples. The document outlines Brazil's creation of an Indigenous Health Subsystem in 1999 to decentralize services and improve quality and access for indigenous communities, but notes challenges remain around uneven health gains and centralization.

Pathways to scaling up health services Peters and PainaIDS
This document discusses scaling up health services in complex adaptive systems. It argues that health systems behave like complex adaptive systems, characterized by heterogeneous actors that interact in dynamic and unpredictable ways. Scaling up is therefore not a linear or controlled process. The document outlines several concepts from complexity science that are relevant to scaling up, such as feedback loops, emergent behavior, tipping points, and path dependence. It suggests using theories and methods from complexity science to better understand scaling up and facilitate decision making. Key lessons are that scaling up requires flexibility, recognizing local conditions, and developing sustainable institutions over the long term through learning-based approaches.
The document summarizes a program in Northern Nigeria aimed at improving health outcomes through strengthening governance and service delivery. It discusses the political and historical context, outlines the program's goals and theories of change, describes early successes like establishing an integrated local health system board, and concludes that achieving health system reform requires addressing both technical and political factors through multifaceted engagement strategies tailored to the local context.

Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
