Community empowerment for rural developement sameera thilakarathnaSameera Thilakarathna
This document discusses community empowerment for rural development. It defines community empowerment as a process that enables communities to gain greater control over decisions that affect their lives. The key aspects of community empowerment are making communities confident, inclusive, organized, cooperative and influential. Community empowerment encourages active community participation in identifying problems and solutions. It builds on local strengths and resources to ensure sustainability. Some challenges to community empowerment include lack of community participation in decision making and resistance to change. Examples of community empowerment projects in Sri Lanka include rural agricultural development programs and village uplifting programs focused on road development, drug prevention, and milk production.
This document discusses community empowerment, which shifts control over government decisions to community groups through power-sharing arrangements. It outlines principles of empowerment like identifying one's own power base and enabling communities to find solutions to their concerns. Practitioners can play directive, facilitating, or change-oriented roles. Empowerment occurs on personal and collective levels and builds community capacity through participation, leadership, resource mobilization, and organizational structures. Measuring empowerment involves a participatory self-evaluation of these domains to develop strategic improvement plans.
This document discusses different models and approaches to community development including a social justice model, an ecological model, and the importance of community participation and process. It provides examples of how community development can work in practice including a young women's soccer program that was identified as a need by the Somali community and led to other opportunities beyond just soccer. The roles involved in community development like facilitator, teacher, and organizer are also mentioned.

This document proposes a new approach called "Solar Forward" to increase access to renewable energy for communities living in poverty. It describes solar energy kits at different price points and innovative financial models like "Pay Forward" to distribute the kits. People who receive a kit must pay $1 each time they use it and eventually donate a kit to someone else. Gamification elements are added to encourage more donations. The goal is to empower communities by making them active participants rather than passive recipients of aid. Partnerships with NGOs and companies are sought to test these models in other areas and scale up the distribution of solar energy.

Aftercare programs aim to help youth transitioning from juvenile corrections back into their communities by providing services and supervision. Challenges include lack of support systems, resources, and continuity of care. Effective aftercare requires assessing individual needs, intensive treatment services, and coordination between corrections and community organizations, though many jurisdictions are lacking in these areas. More research is still needed to determine best practices for aftercare, especially for female and minority youth.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
BASIC CONCEPT OF ENVIRONMENT AND DIFFERENT CONSTITUTENET OF ENVIRONMENT
Pollution is a menace!
1. Pollution is a menace!
Final Project for Certification in
Gamification Level 2
BY BLACK SPIDER PVT LTD
2. • Climate Change threatens the livelihoods of
ecosystems and the lives of people.
• The increase in global temperature of the
planet caused by human activities.
• So humans will be awarded to counter their
own acts.
3. • The solution is to gamify a solution that could give
users contributing in the Swachh Bharat abhiyan
reward points for their contribution.
• The idea is to start locally and then take it globally.
• To get the reward points a user will have to clean or
clear a certain area.
• Another user would then be allocated to go to the area
to check the area out and confirm the cleaning.
• Based on the inputs both the users would be allocated
points and badges.
4. • This would ensure fairness of the point distribution and will confirm that the area
actually gets cleaned.
• There would be a leader board created on Facebook to update users on their
good.
• The users can either link it back to their sites or share with their loved ones.
• The more users can share and make their loved ones contribute the more points
they will get.
• The users will be given points for their acts for sharing and bringing people on
board the mission, for cleaning an area and for checking if a nearby area has been
cleaned, points will be given for those users too who stop other users from adding
to the pollution like littering around, throwing garbage on the road or even letting
their dogs shit in the surroundings, etc.
5. • The users could be given certificates for taking
part in this event.
• They would also be named on the Facebook
leaderboard irrespective of their number.
• They would also be shown as to what they
have to do to get in the top 10/20.
6. • Every time a user will clean a certain area, another user would be
requested to go their to check and while conducting this search he
would be asked to record the people’s reaction to this cleaning.
• The people would be asked some questions like what were the
problems that they faced and how the garbage was disrupting their
lives.
• The local doctors would also be consulted to get their view on the
people and diseases that have now be reduced.
• This video would act as a testimonial to the user who cleaned and
give him some extra bonus gratification for the job well done.
7. • Users would get extra brownie points if they could
spend some time and teach to the poor students
during the night or early morning hours.
• It could be girls or even to elderly women.
• Any form of teaching like personal cleanliness or how
to learn a specific trade secret which could help them
stand on their own feet would be counted in.
• Even teaching the poor how to earn money on a daily
basis or help them get employed would be considered.
8. • Though it is a very ambitious project but
would still like to go ahead and do it with all
the tools of the trade of Gamification that we
learnt during this wonderful sessions.
• Do share your views as it will help us better
this plan and better some lives.
