Promising Empowerment: How Tostan Engages Communities in Participatory Development in Rural SenegalCauble, Elizabeth Marie, 1973- 09 1900 (has links)
xi, 105 p. : map. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / This thesis explores the empowerment effects of informal education programs run
by the highly acclaimed non-governmental organization (NGO) Tostan in Senegal, West
Africa. My interviews with 25 women in six rural communities in Senegal reveal that
participants in Tostan training programs experience multiple forms and degrees of
empowerment. The respondents in this study report sometimes feeling empowered in
terms of education, access to resources, individualization and participation. In light of
the literature on empowerment, my respondents remain only partially empowered,
constrained by existing sociopolitical relations and economic dependency. My research
also considers whether there are structural limits to empowerment when an outside NGO
comes into a community for a relatively short time to promote change better produced
indigenously. / Committee in Charge:

Factors affecting the quality of Acacia senegal gumsHamouda, Yasir January 2017 (has links)
Gum arabic is a natural gummy exudate from acacia trees and exhibits natural built-in variations commonly associated with hydrocolloids. This study is concerned with the determination of factors which could influence its properties and functionality. These factors include origin (location, soil type, rainfall), different collections, age of the trees and storage condition. Previous studies acknowledged the influence of some of these factors but somehow lack providing definitive answers to questions being asked by the end user and required for the development of Gum arabic industry in Sudan. Local knowledge as well as the various stages of gum collection and processing were reviewed in order to provide a clear background and the justification for the experimental design. In this study samples were collected from six plantations located in the west and east regions in Sudan. Samples were collected from trees of different age (5, 10, 15 and 20 years old) and also from different picking interval (1-4). Each sample was divided into three portions (UK, Khartoum and Port Sudan) and stored for 5 years in order to determine the effect of the respective location. Various analytical parameters (% loss on drying, Optical rotation, % protein, intrinsic viscosity, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution) were measured to fully characterise the gum samples and to determine their functionality (emulsification). The results obtained for all samples were consistent with those previously reported in the literature (see Chapter 4). The only exception, identified in a number of samples from the western region, is the high proportion (~30%) of high molecular weight fraction termed arabinogalactan-protein complex (AGP). The results clearly demonstrated significant variations between plantations located in western region compared with the eastern region. However, the variations between the plantations within the same region are statistically not significant. High values of % protein, viscosity, Mw and % AGP were obtained from the 1st pick, from both regions, and then significantly decreased thereafter to the fourth pick. Samples from west region in Sudan, from 1st and 2nd pick and from tree age (15) years gave the highest viscosity, molecular weight, % AGP and superior emulsification performance compared to other samples from different tree ages. The regression statistical analysis for the physiochemical properties correlation with emulsification performance demonstrated the role of % AGP to be the most influential factor followed by viscosity. The major finding of this study is the effect of storage condition on the properties and functionality of Acacia senegal. An increase in the molecular weight for all stored samples (for 5 years) irrespective of region was evident and statically significant. However, this increase was more prominent for samples from the western region compared to the eastern region. The AGP fraction was increased by the storage treatment up to 40% in Port-Sudan, 20% in Khartoum-Sudan and 15% in UK. The result clearly demonstrated that the temperature and humidity are the crucial factors to induce the natural maturation process in acacia gums. Statistical analysis (linear regression) suggested statistically significant models and equations to predict and explain the variations in the physiochemical and functional properties based on the environmental factors, picking set and age of the tree.

Die Anfänge des Mbalax: Zur Entstehung einer senegalesischen PopularmusikBrunner, Anja 20 December 2021 (has links)
In den frühen 1980er-Jahren findet in Senegal ein bedeutender Wandel in der lokalen Musikszene statt: Die bislang weitreichend dominante afro- kubanische Musik der modernen Orchester wird innerhalb weniger Jahre von einem neuen Trend abgelöst: Mbalax. Anja Brunner verfolgt in diesem Buch die Entwicklungen in der Musikszene Senegals von den 1960er- Jahren bis zur Etablierung von Mbalax als neuem Popularmusikgenre vor dem Hintergrund der gesellschaftlichen, politischen, technischen und medialen Veränderungen, die zur Entstehung dieser neuen „senegalesischen“ Popularmusik beitragen.:Vorbemerkung und Danksagung …………………………………… 5

An Exploration of the Perceptions and Attitudes of Senegalese Professors Toward Learner-Centered Instructional Strategies in Agriculture CoursesGichane, Wangui C. 22 July 2016 (has links)
Like many African nations, Senegalese education emphasizes teaching approaches characterized by lecture-driven courses and information memorization.The objective of the study was to assess the needs for employing learner-centered practices and challenges professors' faced in terms of current teaching and learning methods at five Senegalese higher-education institutions. An explanatory mixed method study was designed to assess professors' teaching strategies, attitudes toward learner-centered methods, social climate at the institutions, perceived confidence in effectively incorporating these methods, as well as the challenges faced in current teaching and learning approaches. Results showed professors had positive attitudes towards learner-centered methods and thought they were effective teaching techniques. Professors also indicated that they felt little to no pressure from their peers or institutions in employing other methods and some felt confident enough to use learner-centered strategies properly. Data also revealed that the culture of instruction and the constraints in teaching were the primary obstacles preventing professors from effectively incorporating the methods in their classrooms. The study's findings indicated that: 1) addressing the normative beliefs and social norms toward learner-centered methods requires an understanding of the cultural context of Senegalese instruction and 2) professional trainings can make a marked difference in how professors think about teaching practice, as well as increase self-efficacy that can influence their behavior toward more learner-centered strategies. / Master of Science

Hydrological consequences of two native shrubs in semi-arid Senegal : patterns, processes, concepts and methodsKizito, Fred 02 December 2005 (has links)
Water availability is a critical limiting element in semi-arid ecosystem productivity and
presents particular challenges in Sahelian countries such as Senegal. The landscapes are
characterized by the presence of two common semi-arid shrubs (Piliostigma reticulatum
and Guiera senegalensis), both of which may be important hydraulic regulators in these
water-limited ecosystems. Dry season observations revealed higher moisture levels in soil
surrounding the shrub shallower roots relative to bare soil. This observation led us to
hypothesize that these shrubs may participate in a natural irrigation phenomenon termed
as "hydraulic redistribution" (HR). This dissertation reports on three studies performed to
ascertain the existence of and investigate the characteristics of this hypothesized
phenomenon. The first study investigated seasonal variability in soil water and shrub root
patterns. Soil moisture content declined steadily in the 0.9-1.2 m depth range and
increased in the 0.2-0.4 m depth range, which supports the HR hypothesis. The second
study quantified plot scale water balance fluxes. Notably, shrub water uptake from the
water table served as a crucial contribution to the system water balance. The third study
investigated the magnitude and dynamics of HR during the dry season. Crop-shrub
associations were evaluated from measurements of soil moisture and potential, root sap
flow and plant physiological measurements. This study proved the existence of HR and
quantified the HR magnitude (~0.1 mm d⁻¹). For shrubs and annual crops in close
association with shrubs, HR clearly provides a mechanism for drought-stress avoidance
and maintenance of plant physiological functions. At the landscape scale, the interplay
between shrub root morphology and HR may play a vital role in ecosystem function with
practical implications for nutrient cycling and water balance in arid ecosystems. / Graduation date: 2006
