On 15 October, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and CARE International launched a Gender and Inclusion Toolbox. This is one of the held presentations, by Agnes Otzelberger, from CARE International, on changing climates and gender relations: Why research and practice are inseparable
This is an inclusivity training for conservation scientists and practitioners. The goal is gender mainstreaming research methods and programmatic outputs. It was presented on December 8, 2021, for the International Congress for Conservation Biology's annual meeting.
This seminar was the third in a series of seminars focusing on volunteering in a fair society organised by IVR in partnership with the ESRC and Northumbria University. This event explored how individuals and communities can most effectively make their voices heard.
In this presentation Dr Susan Baines (Reader in social policy) discusses the link between volunteering and social mobility.

How can lessons from grantmaking with a gender lens be applied more broadly? The Washington Area Women’s Foundation is using a gender lens in grantmaking to fill an important need in their community and help their Grantee Partners achieve enhanced outcomes. They spoke with us about how they are using their unique position and influence to drive innovation through their pioneering two-generation work with middle-school girls and their female caregivers, and how to apply what they’ve learned through this experience in one’s own work.

Racial justice and the climate movementEPIPNational
A challenge as complex as climate change demands approaches that link its social and ecological dimensions. Importantly, the destructive effects of our fossilfuelbased way of life are uneven, harming some people more than others. The impacts of climate change are also uneven. For example, coastal storms, sea level rise, and drought disproportionately affect certain populations. Real solutions to the climate crisis will require a significant level of socioeconomic change, as we decarbonize many sectors of society including energy, agriculture, and transportation, to name a few. Socioeconomic restructuring on this scale raises the critical issue of equity: solutions must work for everyone.
To best create climate solutions that meet the needs of everyone, we must create space for historically less privileged populations to lead. A more inclusive and intersectional movement will allow all groups to learn how patterns of oppression and privilege operate in our society, as well as, understand how they intersect with environmental justice and the ability to influence public policy. It will also build trusting relationships that leverage the power of diverse alliances and intersections, broadening our work beyond the confines of singleissue environmental organizing.
To that end, this webinar will answer the following: “How can we honor the intersectionality of climate change in a way that invites historically excluded populations to lead us toward an unstoppable climate movement?” Participants will walk away with guidance and lessons learned from philanthropists and practitioners who are applying an inclusive and intersectional approach to strengthen their work.

Seven Steps to EnGendering Evaluations of Public Health ProgramsMEASURE Evaluation
Because international development increasingly focuses on gender, evaluators need a better understanding of how to measure and incorporate gender—including its economic, social, and health dimensions—in their evaluations. This interactive training, consisting of this presentation and a tool, will help participants learn to better evaluate programs with gender components.

Our journey from personal to structural changesDr Lendy Spires
Our journey from personal to structural changes - is not just a report, it’s a story of us. Us, the young women activists who seek for structural change. Sadly, we still live in the world where discrimination still defines lives of majority of women and girls in the Asia Pacific region. We live in the world full of inequalities and income disparity due to neoliberal economic model that evidently has failed rural, indigenous and migrant women. In order to challenge these inequalities, strong movements of rural, indigenous migrant women are needed and they must be supported to build capacity, evidence and engage in advocacy to bring about just and sustainable solutions.
We believe that one of the ways to build movement is through Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR). Our journey of FPAR is a story of a democratic, non-hierarchical mutual learning process and part of our struggle for social transformation. FPAR emphasizes on local knowledge, while share and develop knowledge and skills based on experiences of participants. It looks at the power relations in our daily lives and society and challenges the gendered power asymmetry. It is strong combination of theory and practice which strengthens knowledge and helps to gain skills for further advocacy for structural changes.
Breaking Out Of Marginalization (BOOM) FPAR program gives opportunity to grassroots young women from 8 countries to build their capacity, confidence, establishing leadership roles and aspirations for social change. We came with different backgrounds and perspectives, but during FPAR have gone through process of personal change and grow together. Through Feminist participatory Action Research, we, young women researchers, gained capacity on rights based approach, feminist framework, skills to facilitate and organize women in the community, and skills to conduct effective advocacy and campaign. Together with rural, indigenous and women workers in the community, we were able to conduct research and advocacy.
At the end of the programme, we can see, feel and know that we have evolved. Together we hold hands and do collective actions to challenge patriarchy and unjust development policies and practices. Our Journey from Personal to Structural Change, is not a research report. It’s a story of our reflection on our own journey.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Revisiting women's empowerment through a cultural lens
1. Revisiting women
empowerment through a
cultural lens
An in-depth analysis of empowerment
methodologies in horticulture in rural Ethiopia

2. Research
• Collaboration between SNV Ethiopia and Vlerick Business School through ICP
programme (prof. dr. Smaranda Boros)
• Research on PALS in the GYEM project with the objective to:
o Assess the validity of the intervention
o Assess the impact of the intervention
o Assess the unforeseen side-effects of the intervention
o Draw lessons about the larger system
• Data collection:
o Semi-structured interviews
o Observation in the field
o Assessment checklist of farmers trained in PALS
o Own reports from field activities
2
3. Theoretical background
• Women empowerment:
o A process by which disempowered women acquire the ability to make strategic life
choices (Kabeer, 1999)
o Increase choice and agency at individual level AND address structural inequalities
o External facilitators needed to challenge power inequalities
o Avoid cultural and value based tensions + approach social change as open ended
• Power distance:
o Hofstede (1984): the degree to which individuals, groups, societies accept
inequalities in power as unavoidable, legitimate or functional
o Implications on perception of justice, on emotions, on behaviour and leadership

4. PALS: Participatory Action Learning for Sustainability
• Gender is simple and “means women and men treating each other like equal
human beings with equal human rights and social responsibilities”
• Catalyse discussion, reflection and motivation from ‘within’ the participants
themselves – based on drawing tools
• Key principles:
o Start with vision and the positive
o Everyone can be a leader
o Action from day 1
o Inclusion
o Facilitation from the back
o Make it fun
• Advocacy and policy

7. Findings
• Mission:
o PALS: empowerment in order to reach social justice
o Community: “Her son questioned the utility of the training, ‘if she did not receive
the water pump she wants’”
• Input:
o Selection of the champions
Men and women from different households: unequal sharing
People with ‘issues’ (70%) mixed with people without ‘issues’: inspirational for others but risk of failure
threatens credibility – gap in pace and understanding during the workshops
4 champions from 5 different villages: little coherence at times, too low number to be influential

8. Findings
• Throughput:
o Facilitation from the back and do
not hold the pen of anyone else:
Staff level
Creative strategies at farmer level
• Output:
o Champions understanding of the
steps of the tools was mixed
o Champions able to provide content
to the the tools was mixed
o Champions sharing with peers and
stakeholders was very animated
8
9. Findings
• Outcome
o Many changes at micro level:
Increase of savings (56% women, 50%
men)
New source of income (60% women)
New investments (60% men)
Increased respect (50% women, 20%
men)
o Meso level:
Improved relationship (40%)
Less strict division of household tasks
(25%)
9
10. Findings
• Impact:
o Upscaling:
Frequent copying
Uncoordinated facilitation
among the trainer farmers,
no uniform explanation
Lively discussions among
champion trainers and 2nd
round champion trainees
10
11. Recommendations
• Mission:
o Clarify mission from both sides
o Taking into account power distance between external facilitator and community
• Input:
o Selection of the champions
Enough people in number
Who are more or less equal in power
Involve both husband and wife of the same family
• Throughput:
o In-depth coaching of staff who facilitate the process
o Facilitation from the back: avoid correcting / organize the workshop in such a way
that the need to display power is reduced
11
12. Recommendations
• Output:
o Make the tools as simple as possible, disintegrate the steps
o Reduce various possibilities for interpretation
o Do provide examples – as many as possible
o Alter reflection with more discussion in groups with individuals equal in power
• Outcome:
o Timing of gender agenda?
o Separate structure of women
• Impact: Follow up research with second round champions

Editor's Notes
Output Clear guidelines are important in high power distance cultures, people need direction. All staff focused heavily on getting the steps and content correct since those champions were responsible for upscaling. Therefore there was a high focus on explain the steps instead of possible content. Therefore, we suggest that the tools would be simplified much more or split up in different parts before integrating, in order to avoid ending up in discussion about the steps. We also suggest to alter reflection – needed to fill the tools - with more discussion. Because of time pressure, most champions were slow at grasping the steps, following them and drawing the content, more time was allocated for individual work rather than group discussion. Discussion and exchange might have altered the reflection process and give ideas, even if it would be partly copying. It is a matter of getting the reflection process ongoing.
