Full textAbstract:
The study determined the Therapeutic Community (TC) clients’ satisfaction and assessment of the Therapeutic Community Modality Program rendered by the Parole and Probation Administration in the National Capital Region (NCR). The researchers-made survey questionnaire was administered to two (2) groups of respondents composed of 33 probation and parole personnel and 285 therapeutic community clients. The researchers-made survey questionnaire was validated by the four (4) experts in the field of therapeutic community modality program. The study revealed that the TC clients were satisfied on the Therapeutic Community Modality Program in all of the dimensions being assessed; however, there are indicators on clients’ satisfaction that obtained the lowest weighted mean that need to be addressed. On behav-ior management, there is a need for the TC implementers to reinforce community values and give emphasis on organizational structure. On the intellectual and spiritual aspects, educational activities and academic training must be intensified with focus on group activities that counter negative behavior to reinforce community values. On vocational and survival aspects, the TC program must incorporate vocational and livelihood training. The researchers conclude that the TC clients’ and TC personnel are satisfied to the Therapeutic Community Modality Program in terms of behavior management, intellectual and spiritual, vocational, and survival, and emotional and psychological aspects.

This academic article was to propose the development of administrative management for charity school in Buddhist temples. This paper was written from area studies in the collaborative activities in schools and communities cooperated with 3 organizations consisted of home, temple and school in friendly for sustainable coordination. These three harmonize together in a manner that was known as being born from the mind who wants to participate in a particular activity in order to affect the needs of people in line with the social way of life. Therefore, providing the community enter to truly get involved of participation activities need to be considered lifestyle, noble values, culture and attitude for voluntarily participate in community-based activities that supported by public schools and temples. The religious training team advises personnel, students and community members to gain sustainable morality. Mission of great importance is that the school administrators must be able to lead the organization to survive and must set a plan and method as well as various steps in operating systematically by relying on the budget and resources from the state that needs to use with saving and wisely including people, money, time and other assets. If the administrative system within the school is not good, it will affect other parts of the organization. Therefore, success or failure in the school administration will depend on the competency of the school administrators.

Family resource programs are community-based initiatives that offer multidisciplinary services and resources to families with the aim of helping them to maximize their potential. Programs serve individuals who demonstrate a range of needs, and employ personnel who work from a strengths-based, empowerment-promoting perspective. It is believed that adopting such a philosophy will promote the healthy development of the entire family system. The author discusses the historical basis and theoretical underpinnings of current family resource models, and provides a review of current research. Program elements identified as most effective are highlighted, and parents’ preferences and frustrations are discussed. In doing so, critical practical and theoretical challenges are identified, and suggestions regarding essential areas for future inquiry are made.

Problem setting. Today, high-quality higher education and vocational training is recognized by the world community as a significant dominant in the creation of a system of values by economies and the ability to quickly adapt to changing environments for production processes. Preservation and development of human creative potential is the main goal of innovative education, which should be permeated with universal values. To do this, it is necessary to make it develop harmonious thinking, which is based on a combination of inner freedom of the individual and his social responsibility, as well as tolerance. Analysis of recent researches and publications. A significant contribution to solving the problems of personnel development has been made by domestic and foreign scientists and practitioners, including O. Amosov, O. Ataeva, V. Vesnin, N. Gavkalova, G. Dessler, O. Yegorshin, V. Kovalev, N. Markova. E. Morgunov and others. Issues related to personnel development management were studied by such scientists as V. A. Savchenko, T. P. Zbrytska, G. O. Savchenko. A. O. Vornachev, A. N. Boyko, and Y. I. Kravets studied the world experience of professional training of skilled workers. Target of research to analyze the modern world experience of professional development of personnel of enterprises on the example of leading economies. Article’s main body. The article points out that the priority areas for further development of our country’s enterprises are the wider use of the experience of leading economies of the world in the field of quality management and development, formation and maintenance of a culture of quality, development and implementation of standards for personnel development, adapted to the needs of a specific organization. As the development of national vocational education becomes innovative through the use of the experience of the leading countries of the world, the need for specialists to improve their skills during work in accordance with the requirements of the modern world labor market is increasing, the national system of competences and qualifications and so on is being improved. Conclusions and prospects for the development. In order to overcome the shortage of highly qualified specialists, it is proposed to introduce at the state level legislatively regulated financial support of enterprises in the field of vocational training and development of employees, namely: (1) to develop and legislatively invest the funds in the training of employees and their professional development through loans, government tax incentives for companies to organize training, training, retraining, retraining and advanced training of staff; (2) allocate government subsidies to employers who create additional training places for industrial and on-the-job training; (3) stimulate the interest of employers in improving the professional level of staff through a system of encouraging them and improving the organization and improving the quality of education; (4) create funds for employers to transfer a percentage of their payroll to cover most of their employers’ training costs; (5) envisage, within the framework of collective agreements, the creation of training funds, the assets of which are formed either from a payroll tax or through government subsidies; (6) strengthen the responsibility of employers and employees themselves for their professional level in order to increase the efficiency of the use of funds for vocational training of staff; (6) develop draft legal acts to encourage and encourage staff to continue learning and appropriate mechanisms for their implementation (financial assistance – state or sponsorship, educational leave - partially or fully paid, grants, scholarships, etc.); (7) to encourage enterprises to expand cooperation with higher education institutions, research institutes and other institutions of social and pedagogical orientation for the development of scientific and methodological foundations of professional development of staff.

Objective - The primary purpose of this research work is to determine the relationship between work engagement of public elementary school (PES) teachers and organizational support in the District of San Jose, Schools Division of Antique, Philippines. Methodology/Technique - Descriptive-correlational design was employed in undertaking this study. A total sample of 167 was purposively selected among the PES teachers in San Jose District, Schools Division of Antique for the survey. The researchers adapted the accomplished Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form of teachers and Eisenberger's (1986) perceived Organizational Support Scale for the study. Findings – The results show that PES teachers' level of work engagement was very satisfactory in all of 4 work engagement aspects - teaching-learning process, student outcomes, community involvement, and professional growth and development. The results also indicated that the PES teachers have a high organizational support level when the different variables were considered in this study - teaching load, teaching position, sex, and marital status. Moreover, looking into the PES teachers' work engagement, a significant difference was noted in community involvement when grouped according to teaching load; and professional growth and development when grouped according to sex. However, no significant difference was noted in all aspects when grouped according to a teaching position and marital status. A significant difference was also pointed out in organizational support in terms of teaching load, teaching position, sex, and marital status. Finally, there was no significant relationship between work engagement and organizational support of PES teachers. Novelty - The study suggests that the Department of Education subjects its personnel to continuing education, training, seminars, and values formation activities to help teachers become more effective in delivering their daily obligations, engage in their work for skills development, and make them feel they are given much attention by the organization where they belong.

Introducrion. Due to the peculiarities of the Krasnoyarsk krai (a huge territory, low population density, different levels of health development in the districts, personnel shortage), there is a need to increase the availability and quality of medical care to district patients. For this purpose, since 2016, the Regional telemedicine system has started functioning online monitoring for patients with severe pneumonia, which provides full-fledged curation of patients from all over the region.Objective. To evaluate the results of RTS monitoring of patients with severe pneumonia.Materials and methods. 770 cases of severe community-acquired pneumonia registered in RTS from 2016 to 2018 were analyzed. Statistical data processing was performed using variational statistics using the “Excel-7” software package. For all values, the minimum significance level (p) of 0.05 was taken into account.Results. The risk factor for severe flow was male. Among comorbid diseases, cardiovascular and bronchopulmonary diseases, diabetes, alcoholism and HIV infection prevailed. The lack of flu vaccination in 97% of patients increased the number of deaths by 4.5 times. The greatest need for consultation arose in the Central district hospitals of low capacity. The majority of patients are registered in the system on the first day of hospitalization and are consulted by a pulmonologist of the Regional clinical hospital within 2 hours. Air ambulance of the Regional clinical hospital evacuated 174 patients, the need for flights decreased by 3.5 times. The main mistakes of district hospitals in the management of patients were the irrational selection of antibacterial drugs, the volume of detoxification therapy, the late start of antiviral therapy and ventilators, and the lack of prescription of anticoagulants.Conclusions. Along with the presence of comorbidities, the outcome of the EAP is affected by the quality of medical care, which depends on the professional training of medical workers, continuity in the work of regional medical institutions and air ambulance, which causes difficulties, given the specifics of the region. RTS allows you to solve this problem at minimal cost.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the most important issue of ensuring an innovative breakthrough in socio-economic development in the context of the formation of the information society against the background of the deployment of the sixth technological order. Today, humanity is entering a completely new era, characterized by a fundamentally different system of social relations, values and meanings. The transition to a multipolar world model aggravates the competition of developed countries, on the one hand, and weakens the role of the state in the life of society, on the other. Globalization abolishes borders, eliminates inequalities, and at the same time deprives entire peoples of their national, cultural, and linguistic identity, and erases historical memory. Sustainable development - a concept championed by the progressive world community-requires an innovative breakthrough not only on the scale of individual countries, but also on a broader, planetary scale. This article is an attempt to answer the question of whose forces this innovative breakthrough should be achieved. The article deals with one of the most urgent and important problems – the development of a new theoretical and methodological basis for the development of the state system of personnel support for innovative breakthroughs in the context of the deployment of the sixth technological order against the background of the greening of public and, in particular, economic relations. Taking into account the fact that at the present stage of the development of civilization, humanity has come to understand the limited resources of the planet, the world is faced with the inevitability of making strategic decisions related to long-term innovative advanced balanced socio-economic development and aimed at overcoming global problems that threaten the continued existence of man as a biological species. The intensive development of high-tech technologies in the context of entering the sixth technological order accelerates the reduction of the planet's life potential, so it is extremely important to make production as environmentally friendly and economical as possible, to reduce consumption and, consequently, to reduce the rate of depletion of natural resources. It is almost impossible to achieve this without the organization of a proper system of personnel support, so it is extremely important today to determine the role and place of the state in solving this task.

This study focuses on volunteers within the non-profit organization ‘WWOOF’ World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farming, which provides individuals the opportunity to experience a sustainable organic farming through volunteering. As sustainability needs to be more valued within society and as individuals are seen to develop similar values from their social surrounding, the study examines how being a volunteer on a WWOOF farm influences the volunteer’s personal development. The material findings of 20 semi-structured interviews from previous WWOOF volunteers were collected and indicated four main outcomes: increased environmental awareness, community awareness, a sustainable lifestyle and personal growth among the volunteers. The outcomes are discussed in relation to the following main theories and concepts: sustainable worldview theory, symbolic interactionism, social identity theory, the Third Space and narrative identity theory. The sustainable societal values achieved among the volunteers indicated that being a volunteer on a WWOOF farm, can contribute to improve the global community

Full textAbstract:
A travers la philosophie de la «personne», Emmanuel Mounier (1905-1950) vise le renouvellement de la civilisation, l'accomplissement et l'épanouissement de l'homme. La question est de rechercher ce qui dans «la personne» constitue le fondement principiel et métaphysique du développement, puis mettre en place une heuristique qui rende compte de l'impact de cette philosophie de la personne sur le «développement en Afrique». L'objectif est triple: apprécier sous mode systématique la puissance de rayonnement historique de la pensée de Mounier chez les penseurs d'Afrique; en mesurer les effets d'appropriation; relever, de là, les enjeux anthropologiques liés au sein du continent africain, à la notion du «développement». Le propos mobilise les corpus des théoriciens africains soucieux de l'enracinement et de l'interculturalité, mais aussi de penseurs occidentaux refondateurs de la question de l'homme et du monde. Le fondement métaphysique, anthropologique et éthique, n'exclut pas le mécanisme juridique supranational légitimeAccording to the philosophy of the «person», Emmanuel Mounier (1905-1950) aims at the rebirth of civilization, the accomplishment and fulfillment of man. The question is to find out what within «the person», constitutes the principal and metaphysical foundation of development, then to put in place heuristics that emphasize the impact of this philosophy of person on «development in Africa». There are three sides to this objective: to appreciate in a systematical fashion the power of the historical influence of the opinion of Mounier on the philosophers from Africa; to measure its appropriation effects; and then to identify the anthropological issues connected to the notion of «development» within the African continent. The statement mobilizes not only the corpuses of the African theorists concerned about deep-rootedness and interculturality, but also those of western thinkers, reformer of the question of mankind and the world. The metaphysical, anthropological and ethical foundation, does not ex-clude the legitimate supranational legal mechanism

This thesis presents post modern, feminist narratives written from the author’s experiences as a community development worker over a period of twenty years. The contexts are largely based in Sydney and the housing developments in western Sydney. The author writes from within the post modern tensions between subjectivity and objectivity, consciously choosing to represent her own experiences, thoughts, beliefs and actions as case studies. She names and explores her changing ideologies as a community worker through cameos of critical incidents throughout her career. Different styles of narratives are presented of a community development engagement in Fairfield, NSW in 1990-1991. It is argued that community development has a role in the sustainability of civil society, to foster a peaceful oppositional force so necessary as part of a vigorous democracy which values and respects difference.Master of Science (Hons) Social Ecology

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The community development workers’ programme (CDWP) is a strategic policy intervention by government to address challenges of service delivery to communities. The purpose of the CDWP is to facilitate the removal of obstacles in the course of providing services to communities. The CDWP is located in local government. Its purpose is often misunderstood by the stakeholders, because of the perception that the programme is meant to deliver services like provision of water, electricity and other social services. In essence, the CDWP is meant to facilitate communication between government and communities in order to ensure that services are delivered effectively and efficiently. Some of the challenges faced in the Makhado Local Municipality relate to the lack of infrastructure maintenance initiatives, including expansion plans that are well funded. Massive backlogs of infrastructure and services remain in the areas of water and sanitation, energy provision, housing, social security and others. If these problems relating to infrastructure and access to services are not adequately addressed, it will be impossible for the implementation of the CDWP to be successful. It is, therefore, critical that the government as a whole, and working with the private sector, should develop a comprehensive programme that mobilises society through both public and private initiatives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges faced by community development workers (CDWs) in the implementation of the CDWP in Makhado Local Municipality. A qualitative research paradigm was adopted for the study. A literature review, focus groups and interviews were employed within the context of structured questions formulated in line with the framework of the study. The above were meant to facilitate a response to the research question of the study, which sought to find out what the challenges was faced by CDWs in the implementation of the CDWP in Makhado Local Municipality. One of the recommendations of the study is that the CDWP should be integrated with the Makhado Local Municipality plans and budget in order to ensure that it is sustainable and meets its stated objectives. Once this is achieved, it will be possible to confidently say that: The introduction of CDWs is succeeding in addressing challenges of service delivery in the implementation of the CDWP Challenges of CDWs in municipalities are being resolved through the effective implementation of the CDWP If the CDWP can be implemented fully in the Makhado Local Municipality, challenges of service delivery can be resolved over a reasonable period. It is, therefore, critical that the CDWP should remain an intergovernmental programme that fosters planning and partnership between the public, as beneficiary, and the government as service provider.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Gemeenskapsontwikkelingswerkers Program (GOWP) is ‘n strategiese beleidsintervensie deur die regering om uitdagings met betrekking tot dienslewering aan gemeenskappe aan te spreek. Die doel van die GOWP is om hindernisse tot dienslewering aan gemeenskappe uit die weg te ruim, en die program is binne die plaaslike regering gesetel. Misverstand oor die doel daarvan kom dikwels onder belanghebbendes voor vanweë die veronderstelling dat die program bedoel is om dienste soos die voorsiening van water, elektrisiteit en ander maatskaplike dienste te lewer. In wese is die GOWP bedoel om kommunikasie tussen die regering en gemeenskappe te bewerkstellig om te verseker dat dienste doeltreffend en effektief gelewer word. Uitdagings vir die Plaaslike Munisipaliteit van Makhado staan in verband met die gebrek aan inisiatiewe om infrastruktuur in stand te hou, insluitend goed befondste uitbreidingsplanne. ’n Massiewe agterstand van infrastruktuur en dienste bestaan steeds op die gebied van water en sanitasie, kragvoorsiening, behuising en sosiale sekerheid. Indien hierdie probleem met betrekking tot infrastruktuur en toegang tot dienste nie voldoende aangespreek word nie, sal die implementering van die GOWP geen sukses behaal nie. Dit is dus van uiterste belang dat die regering, in geheel, en met die samewerking van die private sektor, ‘n omvattende program ontwikkel wat die gemeenskap deur middel van openbare en private inisiatiewe mobiliseer. Die doel van die huidige studie was om die uitdagings waarvoor gemeenskapswerkers met die implementering van die gemeenskaps- ontwikkelingswerkers program in die Plaaslike Munisipaliteit van Makhado te staan kom, te ondersoek. ’n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsplan is vir die studie gebruik. ‘n Oorsig van die literatuur, fokusgroep en onderhoude is gebruik, met gestruktureerde vrae wat binne die raamwerk van die studie geformuleer is. Die vrae was bedoel om ‘n respons tot die navorsingsvraag oor die uitdagings wat deur die gemeenskapsontwikkelingswerkers met die implementering van die GOWP in Makhado ondervind word, te fasiliteer. Een van die aanbevelings van die studie is dat die GOWP by die planne en begroting van die Plaaslike Munisipaliteit van Makhado geïntegreer moet word om die onderhoubaarheid van die program te verseker en dat die gestelde doelwitte bereik word. Wanneer dit geskied, sal dit moontlik wees om te sê dat: Die instelling van die gemeenskapsontwikkerlingswerkers behaal sukses ten opsigte van die uitdagings van dienslewering binne die Gemeenskapsontwikkelingswerkers program. Die uitdagings aan gemeenskapsontwikkelingswerkers in die munisipaliteite word deur die effektiewe implementering van die GOWP oorkom. Indien die GOWP ten volle in die Makhado Munisipaliteit geïmplementeer kan word, kan die probleem rondom dienslewering binne ‘n redelike tydperk opgelos word. Dit is dus belangrik dat ‘n onderneming soos die program vir die gemeenskapsontwikkelingswerkers behoue bly as ‘n inter-regeringsprojek wat die vennootskap tussen mense en die regering ondersteun.

Full textAbstract:
Evaluation reports, along with development studies literature suggest that development practice is often failing to enact espoused participatory, empowering and gender equitable approaches or to achieve these espoused goals. Mainstream development theories are underpinned by values and beliefs about what is good and what �ought to be�.
In this study I explore the influence of values on the development practice of Cambodian practitioners working in non-government organisations in rural Cambodia. Development practitioners are the major conduit of community based development assistance, but little is known about how their values impact their day-to-day practice, and influence their moral and political choices.
In the study I used ethnographic methodology, guided by feminist principles. The research was conducted with individuals and groups of experienced, mostly Cambodian development practitioners. Data were collected in four phases through in-depth and semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and observations of practice.
I examine the (in)congruity between practitioners� espoused theories and values and those demonstrated by their practice. The findings reveal that the values are not essentially different but are prioritized differently. The espoused values are consistent with those of the international development discourse, all of which are premised on a belief in human equality. Theories and values inferred from actual practice reflect hierarchical underpinnings. In the Cambodian context this is consistent with socio-cultural values and the hierarchical order of society. However, as expatriate research participants and the literature attest, this incongruence is not particular to Cambodian practitioners.
The study reveals practitioners give higher priority to fulfilling the tasks necessary for the achievement of their NGOs� planned outputs and organisational imperatives than to the facilitation of participatory and empowering processes. At the same time, the enactment of some development values is in tension with certain socio-cultural norms and practices. Practitioners are challenged to make desirable development values explicit and identify how to operationalise them in the lived social, cultural, political and economic context.

The objective of this study was to secure information from a wide distribution of software development practitioners about their development processes, their views about related processes and methods and their perceived and actual software process maturity. Research questions answered in this study were: (a) what are the current software development practices in industry? (b) Are there significant differences between the practitioner's perceived and actual development process maturity; (c) Is there correlation between professional and/or organizational demographics and perceived and actual development processes?; and (d) What do practitioners believe are significant success and failure factors as they relate to job performance? These questions and others were answered by this study.
A self-administered, mailed survey, the Software Development Process Survey, was developed for this study as the data gathering instrument. The survey experienced a return rate of 49.2% and 95.6% of the questions were answered by the 203 respondents. Due to the size, distribution and response to validity-check questions, the results of the survey were considered fairly representative of the targeted population.
Two metrics were also developed. The Perceived Process Maturity Level was the result of the subject's stated perceived, estimated, process maturity level. The Calculated Process Maturity Level resulted from calculating responses to 25 process-related questions. The two metrics were then compared to each other and to the actual distribution of the Capability Maturity Model developed by the Software Engineering Institute.
The data show that the subjects have defined a 0.3 level difference between their perceived and actual process maturity level. Additionally, the subjects generally felt that their present position, company and product quality were not as good as experienced in previous positions. The study also revealed that metrics and metric processes had low priority, neither helped or hindered the development process, could be minimized in today's competitive environment, and increased development costs. A fully annotated version of the survey is included.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDiscussion on toddlers’ outdoor play practices in various cultural spaces is rare in literature. In Australia, toddlers’ physical development and well-being is promoted but less attention is given to cultural nuances of outdoor play. We ask the question: How does outdoor play impact on toddlers’ imagination and cultural formation? Conducted in three Australian long day care (LDC) sites, an ethically approved project “Studying babies and toddlers: Cultural worlds and transitory relationships” examines the process of three Australian toddlers’ outdoor enculturation. The concepts of imagination and play from Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory are drawn upon in relation to Hedegaard’s institutional practices model, to link contextual relations between society, community and family. Cultural formation processes in toddlers’ outdoor play, we argue, are more completely understood when daily life across home and local community is acknowledged. Data findings illustrate complexity of movement and experimentations in cultural conditions, where different spaces hold possibilities for imaginative transformations in toddler’s play. Implications suggest toddlers’ imaginative and culturally responsive outdoor play aligns with availability of interested adult/peers, shared family and community values, and varied local spaces. In this way, affective and dynamic outdoor interactions imbue cultural formation of toddler’s play and imagination with local personal meaning.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the role of personal values for social responsibility (SR) of higher education. Besides the core mission of higher education to create, transfer and preserve knowledge in society, the idea of SR has gained its importance also in institutions of higher education. SR has many drivers, among which personal values are considered as one of the key building blocks for SR. For enhancing SR, higher education institutions should also develop stronger ties with the community. The chapter provides an insight into discussion about community involvement of higher education, into the role of personal values for shaping SR of higher education institutions and explain how personal values can help to enhance community and social involvement of higher education. Findings may be a starting point for re-thinking and/or establishing strategies for achieving higher level of SR in higher education institutions and enhancing the link with the community.

The purpose of this research is to develop a direct and concise perceived leader integrity instrument that is posed from a positive perspective. The integrity construct in this study is developed from the tradition of moral philosophy and virtue ethics. The integrity construct in this study incorporates two aspects of integrity found in the literature, namely value-behavior congruence and a requirement that this congruence be grounded in morality. The moral philosophy used in this study to ground the integrity construct is virtue ethics as proposed by ancient philosophy and later maintained by Christian virtue ethics in the middle ages. An expert panel was used to establish content validity and construct validity/reliability was established via analysis of three samples of Air Force personnel associated with the U-2 pilot community. Nomological validity is established by leveraging the resultant Leader Integrity Assessment 15 to investigate the hypothesized moderating effects on the relationship between leader prototypicality and follower trust in the leader as proposed in the Kalshoven and Den Hartog (2009) Ethical Leadership Model. Overall, the Leader Integrity Assessment 15 was found valid and reliable and the integrity construct was found unidimensional as hypothesized.

Full textAbstract:
Considering the actual living environment on the global dimension as being extremely challenging, life giving to each person many occasions of confronting with difficulties but in the same time giving each one the opportunity to find solutions, to strive and to develop and flourish, the large community of thinkers and educational politicians bring out the idea of a specific education for the 21st century. It is already known that the future is uncertain and it can’t be predicted. The people need to be open mind and to be ready for it. But a question arises: How the new generation could be ready for a future which can’t be predicted? In a position paper E2030 an international group of specialists try to offer an answer to these complexity of an unpredictable future (OECD, 2018): students will need to develop curiosity, imagination, resilience and self-regulation; they will need to respect and appreciate the ideas, perspectives and values of others; and they will need to cope with failure and rejection, and to move forward in the face of adversity; their motivation will be more than getting a good job and a high income; they will also need to care about the well-being of their friends and families, their communities and the planet. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has launched The Future of Education and Skills 2030 project (2018) which is trying to find answers at least for two main questions: 1) What knowledge, skills, attitudes and values will today’s students need to thrive and shape their world? 2) How can instructional systems develop these knowledge, skills, attitudes and values effectively? Education 2030 shared vision states that in an era characterized by a new explosion of scientific knowledge and a growing array of complex societal problems, it is appropriate that curricula should continue to evolve, perhaps in radical ways.(OECD, 2018)

Full textAbstract:
The global pandemic produces rules that impose suffering on religions, which must reconsider their social role now. This entails the need to examine the rules of coexistence within societies, where Coronavirus phenomenon raises existential and religious questions. We need to look at the condition of the state of religious freedom – in the European context – referring to globalization in a climate of restriction of personal, social, and religious freedom. Complexity has undermined the role of states, the delimitation of competences regarding relations with religions. For them, building community and associations relations where religious freedom is expressed is fundamental. Believers are therefore bearers of specific interests. This particular situation calls for a new function for religions, focused on the value of the person who can lead to the common identity and guarantee «those values of social and community integration that seem particularly discovered today».

Ewins, Peter J. "Protected Areas and Pipelines in Canada: Balancing Natural Values With Development at the Landscape Level — The Conservation First Principle." In 2002 4th International Pipeline Conference. ASMEDC, 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc2002-27276.
Full textAbstract:
“Sustainable Development” is now a widely accepted concept, yet there are surprisingly few concrete examples of it in practice. The pipeline industry operates at broad landscape and regional levels, and now has the opportunity to provide a strong lead in showcasing how society can benefit from major new energy pipelines while not significantly compromising natural and cultural values. To achieve this requires adoption of a fundamental proactive, ecosystem-based principle — the “Conservation First Principle”. In Canada this principle, first stated by Hummel [1], is that “there should be no new or expanded large-scale industrial development until a network of protected areas is reserved which adequately represents the natural region(s) affected by that development”. This approach is not new (e.g., the 1992 commitment by all levels of Canada’s governments to complete such protected areas networks), but it is more urgently needed now in an energy-rich frontier nation like Canada to truly safeguard our natural and cultural values while developing new energy corridors. It is a precautionary approach, akin to an insurance policy we would all be familiar with at a personal level. By identifying key natural habitats in each natural region (areas of similar bio-physical characteristics — there are 486 terrestrial natural regions in Canada), and using sophisticated GIS-based gap analysis, working with local communities, industry and governments, a network of protected areas can be identified and then reserved for legal protection. This network then adequately protects a representative sample of habitats, biodiversity and ecosystem processes in each natural region before or simultaneous with development proposals and approvals. The development of natural gas reserves in the Mackenzie Valley provides all stakeholders with a timely high-profile opportunity to showcase this balanced approach. The NWT’s Protected Areas Strategy provides the widely-supported community-led process to identify and then reserve key cultural and ecological areas in tandem with gas pipeline development. Investors, industry, governments, local communities and the general public all seek the greater certainty and security that such advance planning and balancing provides. The knowledge that certain key areas are off-limits to future development, and that other areas (the largest portion of each natural region) are assigned for sensitive industrial development, sets the stage for a more secure, stable future, in which all values are accommodated satisfactorily. In the push for greater energy security, the pipeline and oil and gas industry should now embrace the Conservation First Principle in energy developments across Canada’s lands and oceans, most immediately as it plans for a major gas pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley.

Full textAbstract:
Our thesis states that the social capital can increase through establishing a union of solidarity. By achieving this, we will not only create new places of employment, support, acceptance, friends and social relationships, but also gain additional knowledge and build networks. We show that the quality of life will be influenced by solidarity by discussing different projects. At first, we discuss concepts like acceptance, network, knowledge in the context of solidarity, as well as quality of life. After establishing the definitions, we allocate to these terms different criteria, which will be the foundation of examining the success of the projects. Hereby the items of investigation for each project are the objectives, the proposed solutions and alternative routes for achieving the goals, as well as the achieved level of solidarity. Substantial influencing values, obstructive or conducive, are carved out and named, leading to applicable commendations. At last, we show the possibilities to augment the solidarity of rural areas by using information systems, as well as consider the limitations. In conclusion, we discuss the effects of staying together on the quality of life. In the analysis of the exemplary projects, the diversity of approaches is surprising: it spans from the establishment of a special office in the administration, to the communal plantation of fruits and vegetables for their own needs, to the sharing of knowledge or the locating of new partners for cooperation through networking. Eventually, essential determining factors for the success of solidarity in communities are the establishment of a common culture, shared interests and a well-functioning communication.

Full textAbstract:
People in the developing countries who lack basic services and economic opportunities are primarily concerned with improving their living conditions. At present, unemployment problem in the rural areas of the developing countries are diversifying the moral values and social responsibilities of unemployed youth. To solve the problem, rural development centres (involving vocational training, IT services and other productive activities) can contribute significantly for the upliftment of these rural youths and can transform them into grass-root entrepreneurs. One critical factor hindering the establishment of such rural development centers is access to affordable and reliable energy services. Under this backdrop, environmentally benign renewable energy systems can contribute significantly in providing much needed energy in the unserved or underserved rural development centers in the developing countries to achieve both local and global environmental benefits. The paper demonstrates that energy deficient, economically backward communities in the off-grid areas of the developing countries, can be given an array of opportunities for income generation and social progress through rural development centers with the aid of renewable energy sources (such as wind, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal, biomass and micro-hydro), thereby improving their standard of living. Poverty alleviation in rural areas can be accomplished and the critical role of access to adequate level of energy services, Information Technology (IT) and modern communication facilities in it demonstrated. Furthermore, the production, implementation, operation and maintenance of renewable energy applications being labor-intensive, will also result in job growth in the village context, preventing migration of labor force, especially of young men, from rural areas to overcrowded industrial areas. An appropriately designed renewable energy systems can also have a significant role in reducing the impact of climate change through non production of green house gases.

Full textAbstract:
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a contagious bacterial infection that can occur sporadically in healthy individuals. Symptoms are typically similar to other common diseases, which can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment until patients are critically ill. In the United States, IMD outbreaks are rare and unpredictable. During an outbreak, rapidly marshalling the personnel and monetary resources to respond is paramount to controlling disease spread. If a community lacks necessary resources for a quick and efficient outbreak response, the resulting economic cost can be overwhelming. We developed a conceptual framework of activities implemented by universities, health departments, and community partners when responding to university-based IMD outbreaks. Next, cost data collected from public sources and interviews were applied to the conceptual framework to estimate the economic cost, both direct and indirect, of a university-based IMD outbreak. We used data from two recent university outbreaks in Oregon as case studies. Findings indicate a university-based IMD outbreak response relies on coordination between health care providers/insurers, university staff, media, government, and volunteers, along with many other community members. The estimated economic cost was $12.3 million, inclusive of the cost of vaccines ($7.35 million). Much of the total cost was attributable to wrongful death and indirect costs (e.g., productivity loss resulting from death). Understanding the breadth of activities and the economic cost of such a response may inform budgeting for future outbreak preparedness and development of alternative strategies to prevent and/or control IMD.

Findings from the first two years of a 3-year evaluation of the PROMISE Model pilot are presented in this policy brief that seeks to understand the extent to which school principals know, understand, and act upon research-based principles for English Language Learners (ELL) and their intersection with the California Professional Standards for Educational Leadership related to promoting ELL success. Surveys and focus groups were used to gather data from school principals at fifteen schools throughout Southern California including early childhood, elementary, middle, and high schools. School principals identified several areas where PROMISE serves as a beacon of hope in promoting and validating critical conversations around a collective vision for success for all learners including ELL, bilingual/biliterate, and monolingual students. Educational and policy recommendations are provided for the following areas: 1) recruitment and selection of personnel and professional development; 2) accountability, communication and support; and 3) university-based educational leadership programs. This policy brief concludes with a call for school principals to facilitate the development, implementation, and stewardship of a vision for learning that highlights success for English Learners and shared by the school and district community.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses COVID-19 in India, looking at how the interplay of inequality, vulnerability, and the pandemic has compounded uncertainties for poor and marginalised groups, leading to insecurity, stigma and a severe loss of livelihoods. A strict government lockdown destroyed the incomes of farmers and urban informal workers and triggered an exodus of migrant workers from Indian cities, a mass movement which placed additional pressures on the country's rural communities. Elsewhere in the country, lockdown restrictions and pandemic response have coincided with heatwaves, floods and cyclones, impeding disaster response and relief. At the same time, the pandemic has been politicised to target minority groups (such as Muslims, Dalits), suppress dissent, and undermine constitutional values. The paper focuses on how COVID-19 has intersected with and multiplied existing uncertainties faced by different vulnerable groups and communities in India who have remained largely invisible in India's development story. With the biggest challenge for government now being to mitigate the further fall of millions of people into extreme poverty, the brief also reflects on pathways for recovery and transformation, including opportunities for rural revival, inclusive welfare, and community response. This brief is based on a review of existing published and grey literature, and 23 interviews with experts and practitioners from 12 states in India, including representation from domestic and international NGOs, and local civil society organisations. It was developed for the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) by Justin Pickard, Shilpi Srivastava, Lyla Mehta (IDS), and Mihir R. Bhatt. Some of the cases draw on ongoing research of the TAPESTRY project, which explores bottom-up transformations in marginal environments across India and Bangladesh.
