What could be a peacemaking strategy based on relative deprivation and provention perspective in Casamance?Jammeh, Ebou January 2013 (has links)
The Casamance conflict for decades has been unable to produce a sustained peace settlement. This project utilised among others, the relative deprivation and basic human needs satisfaction theories respectively and concludes that the conflict is underpinned by relative deprivation, strongly felt and driven by the elite group. Both the current phase as well as in the past, the conflict has been driven and to an extent manipulated by these elite, motivated by self-empowerment. Masked under the struggle of a relatively deprived masses into collective violence, seeded in a classic social conflict of a type rooted in stereotyping, marginalisation and underdevelopment, primarily driven by basic human needs dissatisfaction expressed in terms of the levels of poverty. These stemmed in part from the colonial pass which set into motion the continuous suppression and segregation of the Casamance region. In particular, of the Diola ethnic identity thus, the conflict’s ethno nationalists dimension. This research presents a deprivation approach strategy to peace making, which among other factors includes addressing the socioeconomic and political causes of the conflict and also one that underscores the relevance of a credible third party involvement to resolving the dispute between a fractured MFDC and a reluctant Government of Senegal.

Opinião de psicólogos sobre seu preparo profissinal para atender às necessidades humanas básicas de crianças com deficiência mentalAraújo, Maria das Graças 24 July 2006 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The importance of the psychologist's work for the service to mental deficient child has been enlarging in the last years, demanding qualified professionals for that practice. This research analyzed how psychologists evaluate their own professional preparation to assist mental deficient children's basic needs. Therefore, in the exploratory phase, the children's basic needs were identified, in special school of the state educational public system of Aracaju/Sergipe, through
participant observation with a sample of 07 children in school age. The data of that phase were submitted to the content analysis, it has had as theoretical referential the Hierarchy of the Basic Human Needs systematized by Maslow. As result, was obtained an inventory consisting of 31 identified needs, with base in which the data collection instrument of the research with the professionals was built. This instrument was applied to characterized their performance to assist the raised needs; the preparation sources were identified for its performance and it was established a parallel between those needs group and the demand of the psychology professional's specific service. The instrument, denominated as mixed instrument, has consisted of a check-list included in the body of a structured interview, and applied to a sample of 15
psychologists, with experience in the service to mental deficient children. The data obtained through the check-list were analyzed by quantitative procedures and the interviewees' speeches were analyzed through Content Analysis. The results showed that 60% of the sample feel
prepared to assist to the children's basic needs in their totality, being the outstanding professional practice the main preparation source with 24,6% of the answers, as the construction of a specific assistance methodology, what appears for the need of the service systemization with that
clientele. The graduation appears in second position of importance with 21,4% of the answers. The qualitative analysis of the psychologists' speeches showed that they try to see the child in his/her totality, considering their basic needs. That result is running into the literature data that
refers the psychologist's professional performance centered in the correction of the difficulties presented by the mental deficient children. Based on the evaluation of the graduation disciplines, and suggestions presented by the psychologists for the improvement of the professional preparation in relation to that clientele, the study appears for the need of doing an effective investment during the graduation in Psychology in sense to assist the inclusion needs proposed by the public politics, considering its commitment with the ethical and scientific precepts countersigned in the new Curricular Guidelines for the graduation in Psychology. / A importância do papel do psicólogo para o atendimento à criança com deficiência mental tem-se ampliado nos últimos anos, exigindo profissionais habilitados para esse exercício.

Meeting the Challenge of Social Sustainability : governance for profound changeEricksson, Olers Marie, Rae, Geneva, Smolyaninova, Julia January 2006 (has links)
While many organisations, including business and civil society, have recognized the imperative of sustainable development, without structural changes to an organisations’ governance system, sustained change is impeded. The Natural Step (TNS) Social Template is hereby expanded to guide organisations to develop systems for decision-making, information generation and distribution, and resource allocation that allows for, rather than inhibits, change capacity. A systemic approach to organisational development that does not undermine the capacity of their members to meet their needs can contribute to increased productivity, member engagement and commitment, and drive the innovation necessary for altering our complex, dynamic social-ecological systems in alignment with sustainability. Our research explores the internal factors that may create barriers to organisational change and sustainability. In addition, we synthesise basic human needs, systems’ science, and organisational change research into concrete guidelines for strategic sustainable development within the TNS Social Template framework. We aim to provide an integrated approach for internal social sustainability and strategic planning for improved governance systems. / <p>Contact for more information: olersmarie@hotmail.com geneva.rae@ualberta.net julia.smolyaninoa@hotmail.com</p>

Making use of the environmental space in augmented realitySjöberg, Jesper January 2018 (has links)
Augmented reality (AR) is constantly moving forward and pushing its bound- aries forward. New applications and frameworks for mobile devices are rapidly developing. Head mounted displays are evolving and making an impact on in- dustries and people. In this thesis, we are going to evaluate the concept of how to make use of the environmental space in augmented reality. Within the environmental space, we are going to focus on secondary elements — elements and objects that not are in the focus of the users. Both augmented reality in smartphones and head-mounted displays are going to be considered. Through an evaluation conducted with four participants during a week, we are going to find use cases and scenarios where this type of concept could be used and where it can be applied. The results of this thesis shows where and how the can be use for a concept such as this.

A Development of a Home Preparedness Kit for Urban Users : Initiating and Sustaining Home Preparedness: A Study of Psychological and Practical Needs in the Face of Potential Crisis / Framtagning av ett kit för hemberedskap till urbana användareJönsson, Evelina, Zwedberg, Lovisa January 2024 (has links)
This master’s thesis project, conducted in Industrial Design Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and in collaboration with Trangia, addresses the increasing significance of home preparedness due to global conflicts and natural disasters. The relevance of home preparedness is growing both in Swedish society and for Trangia, prompting the company to participate in this expanding market. Therefore, the mission is to develop customized solutions for cooking, heating up a room, and water purification to assist urban users in preparing for emergencies. The project utilized the Double Diamond methodology which offers a clear structure that systematically leads through the complex phases of product development; Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver. The initial phase of the project, Discover, included comprehensive information gathering, user studies, and branding exploration to expand Trangia’s product line. The project prioritized to identify the most suitable and healthy fuel sources for the user and delved into the technical principles enabling cooking, heating, and water purification. In the second phase, Define, the target group was narrowed down to urban users within three behavioral groups that exhibited distinct needs. Here, a design space was created that addressed the practical and emotional needs, ultimately shaping the functional requirements. The third phase, Develop, was initiated by the design space. Here, the concept development activities started, which subsequently led to the creation of Trangia KRIS in the Deliver-phase. A home preparedness kit comprising a crisis kitchen, Krisköket, a crisis heater, Krisvärmaren and a service proposal, including a disaster page educating potential buyers on the risks of being unprepared. Along with a coffee table book including an info card collection offering user-friendly instructions and emergency preparedness tips. The project emphasizes the importance of home preparedness, focusing on essential actions such as access to food, clean water, and warmth during crises like power outages or conflicts, rather than relying solely on products for survival. / Detta examensarbete inom Teknisk Design vid Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan i Stockholm och i samarbete med Trangia, tar upp den ökande betydelsen av hemberedskap på grund av globala konflikter och naturkatastrofer. Relevansen av hemberedskap växer både i det svenska samhället och för Trangia, vilket har fått företaget att vilja delta i denna växande marknad. Uppdraget är att utveckla en lösning som möjliggör förberedelser för matlagning, uppvärmning av ett rum och vattenrening under en kris för urbana användare. Projektet utgick från design processen Double Diamond som erbjuder en tydlig struktur som systematiskt leder genom de komplexa faserna av produktutveckling; Discover, Define, Develop och Deliver. Den initiala fasen av projektet, Discover, inkluderade omfattande informationsinsamling, användarstudier och varumärkesutforskning för att utöka Trangias produktlinje. Projektet prioriterade att identifiera de mest lämpliga och hälsosamma bränslekällorna för användaren och fördjupade sig i de tekniska principerna som möjliggör matlagning, uppvärmning och vattenrening. I den andra fasen, Define, begränsades målgruppen till stadsanvändare inom tre beteendegrupper som uppvisade distinkta behov. Här skapades ett design space som adresserade bland annat de praktiska och psykologiska behoven, vilket slutligen formade en kravspecifikation. Den tredje fasen, Develop, initierades av design spacet. Här började konceptutvecklingsaktiviteterna, vilket senare ledde till skapandet av Trangia KRIS i Deliver-fasen. Ett hemberedskapskit bestående av ett kriskök, Krisköket, en krisvärmare, Krisvärmaren och en tjänst. Tjänsten består av en katastrofsida med syfte att informera potentiella köpare om riskerna med att vara oförberedd. Tillsammans med en coffee table book innehållande en samling informationskort som erbjuder användarvänliga instruktioner och tips för hemberedskap. Projektet betonar vikten av hemberedskap, med fokus på väsentliga åtgärder såsom tillgång till mat, rent vatten och värme under kriser som strömavbrott eller krig, snarare än att enbart förlita sig på produkter för överlevnad.

Healing through the Bones: Empowerment and the 'Process of Exhumations' in the Context of CyprusFics, Kristian Taxiarchis Phikas 19 January 2016 (has links)
Inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic violent conflict created a divide in Cyprus (1950-1974) that still exists to this day. This study explores specifically an effect of violent conflict – Missing Persons – and the ‘process of exhumations,’ which is defined as; the recovery of Missing Persons, identification, and reunification of the Missing with loved ones as a key component of peacebuilding via inter-ethnic reconciliation and restorative justice. This process is important for peacebuilding because it empowers individuals, communities, and nation-states to satisfy basic human psycho-social needs in order to deal with the trauma of past violence, to recognize loss, and to seek closure of uncertainty to prevent the transgenerational transmission of trauma and escalation of violence between and within ethnic societies. By interviewing eight experts on the Cypriot conflict about what the ‘process of exhumations’ does in Cyprus, revealed the challenges and successes that may arise during and after the process for sustainable peace. / February 2016

Building Sustainable Urban Communities : Can a common participatory space offer a solution?Ebeneku-Anim, Frederick, Jacobson, Ingrid, McRoberts, Margaret, Munyura, Pierre January 2005 (has links)
Globalization and rapid urbanization in the developing world have been contributing greatly to a current unsustainable reality. In order to move towards a sustainable society, the strength of people working collectively as a community must be recognized and harnessed to begin making changes from the bottom up. This thesis will examine how a common participatory space has the potential to become a community hub, and to foster participatory dialogue, negotiation and decision-making within urban communities of poverty. After examining the current reality, including present development practices, this research strives to find universal elements for a common participatory space where vision building and strategic community action can flourish. This study also examines the processes needed to engage community members in the cultivation, creation and maintenance of a common participatory space.
