This document summarizes a workshop on sustainable urban food strategies for European cities. The workshop covered three main topics: 1) conveying messages to citizens to promote sustainable food consumption, noting the importance of enjoyment, health, community, and gradual changes, 2) reducing food poverty and increasing access across communities through engagement, education, and cultural exchange, and 3) leveraging public meals in schools and canteens by training cooks, promoting local/seasonal options, educating students, and supporting small local suppliers.
Real Food, Real Choice: Connecting SNAP Recipients with Farmers MarketsJohn Smith
This document summarizes a report about connecting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps) recipients with farmers markets. It discusses barriers that have prevented low-income communities from fully participating in the growth of farmers markets. While the number of farmers markets and overall SNAP expenditures have increased, SNAP redemptions at farmers markets declined between 1994 and 2008. The report examines this issue from the perspectives of farmers markets, SNAP recipients, and policymakers. It provides recommendations to increase SNAP usage at farmers markets, including developing farmers market leadership, subsidizing EBT terminal costs, sharing best practices, addressing convenience barriers, and creating incentive programs. The goal is to improve access to healthy foods and support local agriculture
This document summarizes a workshop on urban food strategies for European cities. The workshop focused on how cities can encourage sustainable food consumption and practices through various initiatives. Participants discussed messaging around sustainable food to engage citizens and change behaviors. They also considered how cities can address food poverty and involve diverse ethnic communities in sustainable food. Further, the workshop explored leveraging public meals in schools and workplaces to promote sustainable practices and consumption. Examples presented included redesigning public kitchens to serve organic, local, and seasonal food, as well as initiatives for growing, shopping, cooking and eating food together to build community and change behaviors.
This document summarizes a project that mapped the informal food system in Mathare, an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. The project found that street vendors play a key role in urban food security, but face challenges like lack of infrastructure and contested public spaces. Through community-led mapping using techniques like group discussions and balloon photography, the project created a detailed picture of food production, processing, retail and transportation in the area. Mapping revealed environmental hazards and how residents use spaces innovatively. The project aims to support food vendor organizations and improve food safety through infrastructure development and policy changes around housing, land and services.

The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative 28.11.122FIAN Norge
The document discusses IBFAN's concerns about the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative's approach to addressing malnutrition. Specifically, IBFAN identifies six problems with SUN's strategy: 1) its promotion of business partnerships could influence policy-setting, 2) it neglects other nutrition issues to help business priorities, 3) it lacks clarity around conflicts of interest, 4) it allows businesses like GAIN to influence policy, 5) its sole focus on exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months ignores continued breastfeeding, and 6) its emphasis on micronutrients biases funding away from underlying causes. IBFAN argues SUN's approach could undermine breastfeeding and increase dependence on imported products.

The document outlines the rhetorical situation for a research paper arguing that while technology can help in education, it may also be hurting the new generation. The paper takes an argumentative stance, agreeing with the old generation's view that technology is harming youth, and aims to convince its audience of readers interested in education that technology is not entirely beneficial. It will be in MLA format and printed.
This research proposal aims to study the effect of active ingredients from Solanum torvum (Devil's fig) for treating malignant melanoma cells. The researcher plans to produce extracts from the plant's roots, leaves, and fruits to test for components that can replace chemotherapy and reduce side effects. A Mosaic Blue Assay technique will be used to test the extracts on cultured melanoma cells in a controlled environment over 4 days. The results will measure cell growth to identify the most effective extract in reducing cancer cell proliferation. If an extract stops or reduces cell growth by at least 1%, it may help treat patients.
The document discusses the debate around regulating journalists' free speech. It presents arguments on both sides of the issue. Regulations could prevent false reporting but may also give governments too much control over information and endanger journalists investigating abroad. The document also considers the benefits of free speech, like giving citizens access to diverse information and opinions. Overall, it examines the complex tradeoffs around this issue with reasonable points on both regulating and upholding free speech for journalists.
The document proposes a "slum networking" approach to infrastructure development in Kibera, Kenya's largest informal settlement. It involves integrating basic services like water, sewer, drainage and roads by following natural topographical features and drainage paths. This would exploit nature's gradient routes and link slums. The proposal identifies Ngong River, drainage networks and transportation routes in Kibera and divides the area into sectors for phased development, starting with clearing drainage channels, introducing parks and roads, and eventually replacing slum housing with higher density, mixed-use buildings to improve living conditions. Lessons from a similar project in India suggest participatory planning and leveraging natural resources are effective for upgrading slums.
Researchers studying chromosomal loss in aneuploid C. elegans currently lack a cost-effective way to distinguish homologous chromosomes from different strains. This document proposes using insertions and deletions (indels) to create size polymorphisms in amplified sequences from different strains, which can be detected through gel electrophoresis. The researchers identified six strain pairs with at least two regions on each chromosome containing significant size differences. Initial laboratory validation of one such region in one strain pair supported this method. Further results are pending, but current findings indicate amplicon size polymorphisms provide a viable, low-cost means of distinguishing homologous chromosomes in C. elegans and potentially other organisms.
This document summarizes an article about the pros and cons of social media. It discusses how social media can enable organizing and supporting causes more easily through hashtags and donations. However, it also notes social media allows for easier identity fraud as seen in the Manti Te'o case. The document also explores how social media can be positive for hospitals in marketing and answering patient questions, but some argue it can be negatively addicting for users always checking updates. Overall, the document covers both benefits and concerns social media presents for society.
History of Dell Computers - Senior Project Reseach Papermeiners853
1) Michael Dell started Dell Computers in 1984 at age 19 by building and selling IBM compatible computers from his dorm room at the University of Texas.
2) Dell eliminated middlemen and offered highly customizable and affordable PCs, becoming hugely successful and one of the youngest CEOs of a Fortune 500 company.
3) While Dell struggled initially to meet demand, it innovated by offering national customer support and customization. However, it faced issues like a laptop catching fire in 2006 and accusations of selling faulty PCs without recalls in 2007.
Les réseaux sociaux face au développement urbain dans les PVD : les pratiques...Sylvain Maire
Les pays en voie de développement (PVD), et plus encore les quartiers informels de leurs villes en pleine urbanisation, semblent encore loin des usages que nous promettent la ville2.0 et ses réseaux. C’est bien plus l’accès aux réseaux urbains (eau, assainissement, transport, déchets, etc.) qui a du sens dans ce contexte. Mais dans les faits, les réseaux numériques sont utilisés pour pallier à l’absence de services publics et urbains. Envoyer un sms pour collecter les déchets ou créer une base de données locale pour permettre l’adressage, tels sont les usages que l’on peut retrouver dans la favela2.0. Que ce soit pour la gestion de crise, la mise en place de conseils de quartier et plus globalement la coproduction des services urbains de la ville informelle, les pratiques collaboratives et les réseaux sociaux vont devenir un moyen d’action et de création de services publics.

This document describes a study that used anthropometric measurements of students to design an ergonomic computer workstation for an educational institution. Measurements were taken of 200 students aged 18-25 years old and included dimensions like height, shoulder width, thigh clearance, etc. The data was analyzed and mean, standard deviation and percentile values were calculated. Design specifications for the workstation components like seat height, depth, backrest height were determined based on the anthropometric data. A 3D model of an ergonomic chair and table design was proposed based on the results to suit the measured population.
Best Practices in community engagement in slum rehabilitation in India - Rajiv Ranjan Mishra - Third Expert Meeting of the Regional Slum Upgrading Working Group (RSUWG) - 29th. of November to the 1st. of December 2015 in Laleh International Hotel, Tehran, I.R. of Iran
This research proposal examines the impact of a year-round education (YRE) calendar on kindergarten students and their parents in the Bardstown City School District in Kentucky. The proposal provides background on the development of the traditional 180-day school calendar and the rise of YRE as an alternative. It then states the problem that while Bardstown has seen improved test scores and attendance with YRE, no data exists on parental perceptions of its impact on family life and the quality of learning. The study aims to survey parents before and after one year of YRE to determine their views in these areas. It outlines the research questions, limitations, and framework to guide the research.
The document discusses ecotourism and mass tourism in Southern Thailand. It defines ecotourism and mass tourism, and examines their spatial interdependence through a case study of Phuket. Ecotourism emerged later in Phuket but relies on mass tourism for markets and infrastructure. While often considered separate, the study finds ecotourism and mass tourism spatially overlap and interconnect in beneficial ways, with each supporting the other through shared tourist locations and markets. Ecotourism companies stage authentic natural experiences despite their proximity to mass tourism areas.
The document provides an overview of the research process, outlining its main parts and requirements. It discusses that research problems arise from unsolved issues and earlier studies needing reinterpretation. The research process involves identifying the topic and problem, methodology, experimentation/data collection, information processing, and report preparation. Key parts of identifying the topic include defining variables, hypotheses, frameworks, and significance. Methodologies can be experimental or descriptive survey-based. Thesis or dissertations apply this process to address research problems.
Slum economies play a critical role in fulfilling slum dwellers’ livelihood and consumption needs, while also making important contributions to the growing urban economies in developing countries. However, the economic opportunities of slum dwellers are constrained by significant barriers, including unsupportive – and in some cases, hostile – municipal environments, which fail to protect informal workers’ rights and provide sufficient infrastructure in slums; information asymmetries in the labor market that prevent equitable access to jobs; and insufficient access to resources (for example, skills, finance, and markets) that enable growth. These barriers constrain the income generation and economic mobility of slum dwellers, and limit access to affordable goods and services within slums.
The document provides an outline for writing a research proposal and report. It discusses the typical elements and structure, including:
1) Elements such as the title page, problem statement, objectives, literature review, methodology, and references.
2) Developing the proposal involves choosing a topic, formulating research questions, outlining literature, deciding on methods, and proposing timelines and resources.
3) Research proposals and reports generally have five chapters: introduction, literature review, methodology, analysis, and conclusions. Each chapter contains standard sections.
The document outlines guidelines and policies for BSAMIT student project papers at Far Eastern University. It details the 4 stages of project papers: 1) preliminary proposal writing, 2) full proposal writing, 3) proposal submission, and 4) final defense. It also describes the roles and responsibilities of students, advisers, defense panels, and the thesis coordinator throughout the project paper process. Finally, it provides formatting requirements and outlines for project paper proposals and documents.
The document provides an overview of quantitative research methodology. It discusses key concepts including population, sampling, samples, and qualitative scales. Specifically, it defines population as any complete group with at least one characteristic in common. It explains that sampling is used to select a subset of a population for a study. The document also outlines different types of measurement scales in quantitative research including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales.
The document discusses social innovation through four main dimensions:
1) The social economy and relationships between different sectors like the public, private, and household.
2) Catalysts and drivers of social innovation like innovators, collaboratives, and intermediaries.
3) The process of social innovation including design, development, scaling, and diffusion.
4) Transformative social innovations like social movements around health, education, and the environment.
The document discusses sustainable food policies and practices in Pisa, Italy. It summarizes a food plan for Pisa that aims to support local, organic, and seasonal food procurement and education initiatives. It provides an example of a best practice in Bagno a Ripoli, where 25% of school meals are sourced locally from small farmers. It also outlines challenges around costs, production fluctuations, and competing priorities around nutrition. The plan's goals are outlined as building a sustainable urban food system to ensure food security, health, and local economic and environmental benefits.

The transition to agroecology in Nicaragua: Transformation or reconfiguration...Katharina Schiller
This document summarizes research on the transition to agroecology in Nicaragua. The researcher conducted interviews and surveys from 2014-2017 to analyze whether agroecology will remain a niche practice or transform the dominant agricultural system. Results showed that while the government strongly supports agroecology through laws, the system remains dominated by conventional agriculture. Agroecology has grown but lacks input and output markets. The transition appears to be a reconfiguration that maintains the overall system rather than a full transformation.

The document discusses the Colombian coffee model and the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC). The FNC was created in 1927 to support small coffee producers facing challenges like low prices, lack of organization and infrastructure. It has invested in research, education, health services and infrastructure to support coffee farming communities. The FNC is one of the largest agricultural non-profits in the world, with a democratic governance structure. It leverages funds from a tax on coffee exports to support programs for coffee farmers. The FNC is working to promote sustainability standards through initiatives like 4C and help farmers adapt to changes like the 1999 coffee crisis.
The Spanish Federation of Nutrition, Feeding and Dietetic Societies (FESNAD) was created in 2003 to unite professional associations in nutritional sciences and promote nutrition knowledge. Its goals are to: 1) Represent professionals and be an intermediary between consumers, government and industry; 2) Promote nutrition education and training; 3) Create expert committees with government. FESNAD has well-established educational programs to promote healthy living habits for all citizens, including groups with specific needs.

Scaling up Urban Agriculture in Toronto - Building the InfrastructureFarrah85p
This document proposes ways to scale up urban agriculture in Toronto by addressing five key areas: access to production spaces, physical infrastructure/resources, food supply chains, knowledge sharing, and governance/funding models. It suggests both expanding simple food production city-wide and enhancing the sophistication of urban agriculture in key locations. Recommendations include updating policies to support urban farming, developing resources like soil and water access, strengthening local food distribution networks, creating an urban agriculture knowledge hub, and forming a coordinating body to attract long-term funding and support. The goal is for urban agriculture to supply a sizable portion of the city's vegetable and herb demand in an environmentally and economically sustainable way.

This document discusses agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS) and ways to promote innovation. It makes three key points:
1. AKIS vary between countries/regions/sectors, but innovation occurs through interaction and learning networks of different actors like farmers, advisors, industry, researchers, and NGOs. These networks help generate new knowledge through collaboration.
2. Emerging topics that need more attention include rural demographics, the food-health relationship, and new models of food production and distribution. Social innovation will also be important for managing rural areas.
3. Three scenarios for the future of AKIS are outlined: a high-tech future dominated by large companies, a self-organized system led
This document summarizes an event discussing value chains for food and nutrition security. It notes that agriculture has historically not focused on maximizing nutrition from farming systems. There is increasing interest in food systems approaches and agricultural biodiversity. While a few major crops provide most calories globally, over 7,000 species are used locally and 120 are important nationally. The document discusses reducing undernutrition and overnutrition by improving diets and livelihoods. It proposes assessing food value chains to increase availability of safe, nutritious foods for vulnerable groups through inclusive business models. Specific priorities outlined include beans, broader food baskets in East Africa and Central America from 2015-2017.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
