Full textAbstract:
The study is of a psychobiographical nature, employing a psychological theory as a paradigm within which to uncover the narrative of an individual’s life. There are relatively few studies of this nature, particularly with a South African focus. The study applied a qualitative psychobiographical research method which aimed to describe Mahatma Gandhi's psychological development according to Erik Erikson’s (1950) Psychosocial Developmental Theory. Mohandas Karamchund Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi as he was generally known was a major political and spiritual leader. Although much has been written on his life, a psychobiography has not yet been written. He was chosen as the research subject through purposive sampling on the basis of interest value, uniqueness and significance of his life. The data collection and analysis was conducted according to Yin’s (1994) ‘analytic generalization’ which incorporated Erikson’s theory of psychosocial stages. Alexander’s (1988) nine proposed guidelines assisted in the process of data analysis. The study concluded that Gandhi had attained the ego virtues of hope, will, purpose, competence, fidelity love, care and wisdom as proposed by Erikson’s (1950) Psychosocial Developmental Theory within the delineated age frame.

Vyas, Ashwin G. "Systematic Statement of Mahatma Gandhi's Theory of Social Stratification." Thesis, North Texas State University, 1986. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc331565/.
Full textAbstract:
This study presents the major ideas of Mahatma Gandhi on social stratification and social inequality. The methodology consists of systematically reading and analyzing the literature through which the theoretical components of social stratification in Gandhi's writings become more explicit, and evaluating these theoretical components. A systematic statement of Gandhi's theory of social stratification included the following five components. First, social differentiation is inherent in human nature. Gandhi believed in the universality of social differentiations and was convinced that societies were organized into the divisions on the basis of vocations. Second, relations among strata imply that a division of labor is essential for the stability and organization of society. Gandhi also implied that this division of labor is necessary and functional. Third, normative patterns establish traditions of heredity. To Gandhi, the four divisions in society defined a person's "calling" which is essential for social organization. Fourth, the system of stratification is the universal law that everyone is obliged to follow. Gandhi tried to legitimize social stratification through moral and religious values of the society. Fifth, social stratification system defines duties only and does not confer any privileges. To Gandhi, the divisions of people into strata was the best possible adjustment of social stability and progress. While accepting some form of social stratification for the benefit of total funcioning of the society, Gandhi refused to accept that social inequality necessarily grows out of the process of social stratification. To maintain the hereditary law of social stratification and reduce the inequality, Gandhi suggested the abolition of the present caste system and the revival of four orders of social organization, the removal of the concept of untouchability, the regulation of trusteeship, decentralization of power, the increase of women's status, and vocational education for all.

Full textAbstract:
The Sounds of Satyagraha: Gandhi's Use of Sung-Prayers and Ritual M.K. Gandhi's work towards Indian independence was influenced significantly by sung-prayers found in a collection entitled Ashram Bhajanavali, a collection which, in turn, gives fresh insight into the satyagraha movement. Gandhi's employment of sung-prayers, chant, and ritual has, however, gone unrecognized until this time. The Sounds of Satyagraha presents detailed information concerning how formative and how important these sung-prayers were to Gandhi and to the national independence movement. Chapter One sets forth this thesis, along with methodology, historical context, and certain terms defined. Chapter Two consists of a preliminary historical overview of the Ashram Bhajanavali, along with a descriptive summary of the sung-prayer materials found within it. (An analysis of ritual practices presented in Chapters 3 through 5 also provides additional information regarding historical context and development.) This collection of chanted prayers used by the Indian sayagraha community, has sometimes been referred to as a hymnal. However, the collection is much more than what the word "hymnal" might imply, both in the scope of its contents, and in its significance as a tool with which to understand the developments of Gandhi's satyagraha community. Chapters Three, Four, and Five examine in detail how the Ashram Bhajanavali was used in ritual contexts, and how these sung-prayers supported Gandhi and the nation in its work for social change. The ritual theory of Roy Rappaport is utilized to discover the Bhajanavali's sitz im leben. Chapter 3 discusses the use of these sung-prayers in ritual prayer meetings that occurred twice daily. Chapter 4 looks at additional ways in which these songs were used by Gandhi and the satyagraha community to achieve their purposes, as the movement grew into a national initiative. Chapter 5 considers how it is that this sung-prayer repertoire, being specifically sung and chanted (rather than spoken or read), had a significant power for India and appeal for the satyagraha communities. By placing this collection in its historical, social, and ritual contexts, the extent to which these sung-prayers influenced and shaped Gandhi's sayagraha in India becomes clear. Chapter 6 considers the life and work of one spiritual musician, Shri Karunamayee Abrol, who teaches the Ashram Bhajanavali, its melodies and its history. Shri Karunamayee's family were freedom fighters, and, as a child, she sang for Mahatma Gandhi, receiving his blessing. Shri Karunamayee represents a living tradition. Inspired by childhood experiences and her respect for Gandhi, she has a special devotion to this repertoire. As a spiritual musician, she is a "tradition-bearer" of the Ashram Bhajanavali. The chanting of these sung-prayers has been her daily devotional ritual for decades. Her teaching, which stems from both musical knowledge and Æ⁄¿‰ò™ experience, provides additional insight into satyagraha. Chapter Seven concludes with a review of the evidence, illustrating the large extent to which Gandhi was guided by the sung-prayers and principles found in the Ashram Bhajanavali collection. It also consists of reflections in an analysis of the success or failure of satyagraha. Ashram Bhajanavali offers insight into the Indian independence movement, which has not been acknowledged or identified previously. Final reflections place this collection within the on-going East-West dialogue, indicating its continuing importance in the current discussion.

Full textAbstract:
From 'Pensioners Paradise' or 'Garden City' to 'Silicon Valley' or 'Garbage City', the city of Bangalore has come a long way. One of the interesting aspects of life in Bangalore is 'public life' and the use of public space. However the quality of public spaces in Bangalore has deteriorated over the years due to several reasons. Rapid development, increase in traffic, encroachment into public spaces and lack of management of public spaces have all contributed to this. The CBD (Central Business District) area, especially M.G. Road has evolved as the de-facto centre of Bangalore. Hence a space that used to cater to a city of 2 million in 1980 has to now cater to a city of 5 million. This has led to congestion on M.G. Road, especially along the sidewalk, where people jostle each other to get to their destinations and one can no longer take a leisure stroll or promenade in comfort. Although the sidewalk has been historically an important public space, it is now slowly being reduced to the function of circulation.
The increase in population has also altered the demands on public spaces in Bangalore. The cosmopolitan image that Bangalore has acquired has resulted in the creation of many eclectic spaces such as pubs, open-air cafés, and food courts. The common man is being left out of this semi-public realm because of affordability, causing a social rift. Also with pressure increasing on the streets it is becoming difficult to cater to these needs in an appropriate manner. The public realm is slowly diminishing and the semi-private realm is filling the void. This calls for a re-evaluation of the role of a street and how it is functioning in Bangalore and exploration of new spatial types of public spaces, which can be introduced in the public realm. Public spaces should reconcile these differences rather than aggravate them. With pressure on land due to increasing population and density a contest for space is inevitable. What is important is to reconcile these differences and evolve a strategy through which public space can be returned to the people irrespective or religion, caste, creed, class or political alignment for the common good without compromising on aesthetics. At the same time the poor and deprived need to feel a sense of belonging and ownership in the city. Public space is one of the few mediums for such expressions and hence the duty of the city to provide it.
Also the absence of iconic public spaces as landmarks has resulted in Bangalore remaining an imageless city, a former middle-class city with no apparent vernacular. Today Bangalore has no real city centre to represent its image and cater to its citizens. The elements of a city centre already exist as observed by Rao & Tewari; it is a matter of giving it structure and a sense of place.
Bangalore today confronts several problems with respect to its public spaces ' lack of an imageable city centre; contest for urban and public space based on class and caste; privatisation / corporatisation of public space. To curtail violent and disruptive demonstration of ideas and aspirations by various interest groups especially those of the suppressed, the city needs a democratic, civic space in the perceived/evolving heart of the city ' M.G. Road. Such a space would attempt to bridge the zoning of Bangalore and the lack of imageability of the city; providing its citizens a space to speak their minds, to protest, to celebrate, to mourn, to recreate and most importantly to unite.
The thesis document comprises three sections. The first section deals with theory pertaining to the design of public spaces that provides a basis to evaluate public spaces in Bangalore, and draw conclusions, which can be applied in the design project. It draws from public space theory pertaining to the issues identified earlier. The second section provides a brief history of urbanisation of Bangalore. It describes the use of public space from colonial times to the present and draws conclusions for future development of public spaces in Bangalore. The last section applies and tests the conclusions arrived at in the previous two chapters through a design project for a site on Mahatma Gandhi Road. The design process and final product comprises the third section.Master of Landscape Architecture

A obra literária de Cecília Meireles, especialmente a poesia, é bastante conhecida por boa parte dos apreciadores da literatura nacional, especialmente por livros como Viagem e Romanceiro da Inconfidência. No entanto, ainda há um aspecto de sua obra pouco estudado pela crítica e pela academia: a intensa relação que a autora estabeleceu com a cultura indiana. Pretende-se, portanto, mostrar a presença, na literatura ceciliana, especificamente nas crônicas e nas poesias, dos princípios filosóficos mais determinantes do legado do Mahatma Gandhi, o principal líder político e religioso da Índia no século XX, a saber: Satyagraha – a busca pela Verdade e o Ahimsa – o princípio da Não-Violência. Mostra-se, também, que essa intensa relação intercultural com o país se deu desde muito cedo na vida da escritora e percorreu de maneira direta ou indireta toda sua trajetória literária, seja na busca de autoconhecimento, de desapego, como na tentativa de aplicar aqueles valores éticos de Gandhi em sua própria vida e que aparecem refletidos em sua literatura. A dissertação vem, portanto, contribuir, no âmbito das relações interculturais, para a discussão acadêmica a respeito da forte presença de Gandhi na literatura de uma das mais reconhecidas escritoras de língua portuguesa, Cecília Meireles.
Meireles’ literaly work, especially the poetry, is well known by most of national literature appreciators, particularly for books like “Viagem” and “Romanceiro da Inconfidência”. However, there is still an insufficiently studied aspect of her work by critics and the literary academy: the intensive relation that she established with the Indian culture. Therefore, it is intended to present, in her production, specifically on her chronicles and poetry, the most defining philosophical principles from Mahatma Gandhi, India’s most important political and religious leader from the 20th century, i.e. Satyagraha – the seek for the Truth and Ahimsa – the Non-Violence principle. It is also known that this massive intercultural relation with the country began in the early years of Meireles and covered, directly or indirectly, all her literary work, either on the seek for self-knowledge and detachment or on the attempt to apply Gandhi’s ethical values on her own life, which is reflected in her literature. Thus this dissertation contributes, in the context of intercultural relations, to the academic discussion about the strong presence of Gandhi on the work of one of the most renowned writers of Portuguese language, Cecília Meireles.

Full textAbstract:
India’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) is a unique initiative in the history of state sponsored social security interventions, which guarantees at least 100 days of employment on local public works to anyone who demands for it. NREGS is in operation since 2006. This is world’s largest public-works programme ever, covering around 45 million households every year. Launching of the NREGS indicates a renewal of importance of public-works programme in the global South during the last decade. After 9 years of its continued implementation, there seems to be a dearth of systematic and scientific studies based on grassroots primary survey on how this programme is being implemented and why there is a renewed interest around this programme among the academics and development practitioners across the world. This thesis therefore seeks to understand i) what impacts NREGS created at the household level and ii) the political economy behind its implementation. This thesis comprises of three essays or chapters. Chapter1 and Chapter 3 are based on a threewave household-level longitudinal primary dataset and Chapter 2 is based on a threewave village-level longitudinal primary dataset. All the surveys were conducted between the period 2009 and 2012 in West Bengal state of India. First core chapter of this thesis addresses the research question: what are the impacts of the NREGS participation on household level economic variables and whether participation in NREGS can work as a proxy for collateral in accessing the informal credit for consumption smoothing? Second core chapter addresses the research question: whether the Village Council level ruling political party preferentially allocates the NREGS fund to optimise its chances re-election. Third core chapter addresses the research question: whether there is any non-poor capture of NREGS and whether households’ explicit political affiliation with the ruling party matters in obtaining any extra dividend under NREGS.

La thèse étudie les processus oeuvrant à la co-construction d’une culture épistémologique et ses effets équilibrants thérapeutiques, dans une école expérimentale en Inde, basée sur une pédagogie innovante centrée sur le plaisir d’apprendre. Elle pose l’apprentissage comme acte global au sein de l’espace pédagogique et met à jour le nécessité d’activer corps et mouvement de l’apprenant en synergie avec ses actes de parole et de pensée. La formation des enseignants doit aussi se faire par un acte global. D’abord, une approche culturelle de la relation maître-élève, à partir d’un mythe indien, conduit à la découverte du complexe d’Ekalavya, issu d’une angoisse liée au besoin de respect. Ensuite, une approche analytique d’une formation de formateurs met à jour un schème d’apprentissage dynamique : action-concept-mot, créant une chaîne de construction de savoirs, où les ressources, produites par l’apprenant en fonction de ses besoins, forment la trame d’une pédagogie par ressources généréesThe thesis studies the processes that lead to the co-construction of an epistemological culture and its harmonizing and therapeutic effect, in an experimental school in India that is based on an innovative pedagogy centred on the pleasure in learning. It postulates learning as a holistic act within the pedagogic space and emphasizes the need to activate body and movement of the learner in synergy with the acts of speech and thought. The training of teacher-student relation based on an Indian myth leads to the discovery of the complex of Ekalavya, born of an anxiety linked to the need for respect. Next, an analytical approach of a teacher training puts forth a dynamic schema; action-concept-word, creating a chain of construction of knowledge, wherein the resources produced by the learner according to her needs, form the framework of a pedagogy of generated resources learning

Full textAbstract:
This thesis questions the use and relevance of two dissident educators of the twentieth century in their respective educational institutions today: Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871- 1944) in Japan and Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) in India. Makiguchi's ideas are studied with an emphasis on the documents of the Soka Schools in Tokyo and Gandhi's ideas are analysed through concentrating on the documents of the Ikeda Centre for Value Creation (ICVC) in South India. This thesis argues that both Makiguchi and Gandhi have generated significant socio-political changes both at home and abroad. Although, within education there is a tendency for their ideas to be interpreted according to the philosophy and life-style of the institutions in which their ideas are invoked. This thesis also points out that instead of a literal adoption of their ideas there needs to be an engagement with their strategies, beliefs, and behaviours as citizens of their respective countries. This thesis consists of eight chapters. Chapter one offers the analytical framework of this thesis. Chapters two to four place both thinkers historically and study the conceptual foundations of their values. Chapter five engages with the changing values of present day Japan and India. Within these changes, chapters six and seven investigate the use and influence of Makiguchi's and Gandhi's ideas in their respective educational institutions and national contexts. Chapter eight ends with suggestions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Background Malnutrition is a major risk factor of infant mortality in India. Policies targeting poverty and food insecurity may reduce infant malnutrition. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), a wage-for employment policy of the Indian Government, targets deprivation and food insecurity in rural households. MGNREGA could prevent infant malnutrition by improving household food security or increase the risk of malnutrition by reducing the time devoted to infant care if mothers are employed. This study analyzed the effect and the pathways of effect of households' and mothers' participation in MGNREGA on infant malnutrition. Methods A community based mixed methods study using cross-sectional survey and focus group discussions (FGDs) was conducted in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan, India. Cross-sectional study included 528 households with 1,056 participants who were infants 1 to <12 months and their mothers/caregivers. Selected households were divided into MGNREGA-households and non-MGNREGA-households based on participation in MGNREGA between August-2010 and September-20ll. Anthropometric indicators of infant malnutrition-underweight, stunting, and wasting (WHO criteria) were the outcomes. Eleven FGDs with 62 mothers were conducted. Results Of 528 households, 281 participated in MGNREGA (53%). Mothers were employed in 51 (18%) households. Prevalence of wasting was 39%, stunting 24%, and underweight 50%. Households participating in MGNREGA were less likely to have wasted infants (OR 0' 57, 95% Cl 0•37-0'89; p=O'014) and underweight infants (OR 0'48,95% Cl 0•30-0'76; p=0'002) than non-participating households. Stunting did not differ significantly between groups. Although MGNREGA reduced starvation, it did not confer food security to the participating households because of lower than standard wages and delayed payments. Results from path analysis did not support an effect through household food security and infant feeding, but suggested a pathway of effect through birth-weight. Mothers' employment had no significant effect on the outcomes in the cross-sectional study, but the qualitative study indicated that it could compromise infant feeding and care. Conclusion Participation in MGNREGA was associated with reduced infant malnutrition possibly mediated indirectly via improved birth-weight rather than improved infant feeding. Providing child care facilities at worksites could mitigate the negative effects of mother's participation in MGNREGA. Further, improving mothers' knowledge of appropriate feeding practices in conjunction with providing employment (to address deprivation and food insecurity) is key in the efforts to reduce infant malnutrition.

Nehru, Jawaharlal. "The influence of British political thought in China and India : the cases of Sun Yat-sen, Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru." Thesis, Durham University, 2000. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4624/.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of British political thought in China and India. It concerns the life and work of three of the most important nationalist leaders: Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) in China and Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) and Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) in India. The analysis connects the British aspects of their life and work, which are neither fully understood nor sufficiently appreciated, with their political thought. The first section surveys the existing primary and secondary literature, focusing on the life and work of Sun, Gandhi and Nehru, and outlines the relevant strands of British political thought. The following sections contain an analysis of the political thought of Sun, Gandhi and Nehru within the framework established in the first section, under the headings of nationalism, democracy and socialism. This thesis reveals a distinctive and profound collection of influences which further the understanding of Sun, Gandhi and Nehru's political thought and constitute an important consideration in assessing the cogency of that thought. Although some profound differences existed between India and China, and between Sun, Gandhi and Nehru, it is evident that there were a number of similarities in the impact of British political thought. Britain provided a rich heritage of political thought and wealth of experience regarding its implementation in practice from which Sun, Gandhi and Nehru could draw in constructing their own political thought. The sophisticated and measured incorporation of British influences tends to support a more positive assessment of Sun, Gandhi and Nehru, not only as nationalist leaders but also as political thinkers.

Full textAbstract:
Mahatma Gandhi’s religious thought and pluralism have received attention from scholars and activists. This thesis provides an original contribution by addressing underexplored areas which reveal shifting boundaries in his pluralism. It explores Gandhi’s relationship with atheists, in particular his Indian friend Gora; the relationship between Quakers and Gandhi, in particular Marjorie Sykes and Horace Alexander; and Gandhi’s approach to inter-religious marriage in an Indian context, exploring both religious and societal dimensions. Throughout the thesis religious pluralism is addressed both in its philosophical or theoretical dimension and in the practical dimension of how one relates to people of other faiths. I provide a critique of the breadth of Gandhi’s pluralism in dealing with atheists in an inclusivist fashion and in his early opposition to inter-religious marriage. I also draw out its strengths in placing religious/ethical life above beliefs. This provides a framework for strong friendships with Quakers and atheists, and a positive approach to inter-religious marriage (in his later years) by allowing individual interpretations of religious life as opposed to community belonging. Gandhi’s theology and friendships offer a critique to theories of dialogue emphasising commitment to a particular tradition. They open a way to include marginalised groups in dialogue and respect the whole person rather than treating religion as a compartment of a person’s life.

Smith, Katherine. "Continuity and Change in a 19th Century Illustrated Devi Mahatmya Manuscript From Nepal." VCU Scholars Compass, 2014. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/3564.
Full textAbstract:
In the Hindu tradition of the Indian subcontinent, worship of the goddess has long been practiced as supreme embodiment of the divine. Around the second century, a Sanskrit Purana (ancient Hindu text that extols deities) titled the Markandeya Purana details the battles of the supreme Goddess Durga against the illusions and negative energy in the universe. This textual version of the Devi Mahatmya “Praise of the Goddess” serves as the foundation for the nineteenth century Nepalese illustrated Devi Mahatmya, commissioned by Tej Bahadur Rana from Pokhara district in Nepal. Because the folios closely follow the textual Devi Mahatmya, the illustrations’ amalgamation of styles demonstrates a double entendre of religious and political frameworks represented through Indian religious iconography with localized motifs and styles from Nepal. In this study, I argue that the illustrated Nepalese Devi Mahatmya indicates a shift in power from the Shah aristocracy to Rana oligarchy. This Devi Mahatmya contextualizes the social, religious, and historical events of nineteenth century Nepal, as a unique extension to the current scholarship about the Devi Mahatmya since it is dated and has a known patron.
The intentional amalgamation of previous Newar styles, localized elements, and European décor reveals the mythical being contemporized, that is, drawing from English modernism to empower the Rana family, adding a unique flair to this manuscript as opposed to previous Devi Mahatmyas of Indian Guler or Newar style. Within the nineteenth century Nepali Devi Mahatmya, the background of this Devi Mahatmya is Guler-inspired, utilizing lightly hued backgrounds and landscapes, suggesting that the artist(s) had observed Guler compositions prior to this commission. The Nepali and Newar motifs contextualizes the Devi Mahatmyas commissioning in Pokhara, as these elements comment on the clan patriarch Jung Bahadur Rana and uncle of the patron usurping power from the Shah king, asserting a new Rana oligarchy that would last until 1951. As a result, this Devi Mahatmya is used as an offering to the goddess to legitimize Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana and the nephews that would follow his legacy.

The dissertation examines the work Songs, Cecilia Meireles, highlighting the historical context-cultural, ideological and artistic of the twentieth century, from the close relationship of literature produced by the poet with the mysticism of the philosophies of the East, in particular, Buddhism, with the mystical poetry of the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore and the speeches of peace Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave. The work of the poetic corpus, still uses to support the writer Complete Poetry, the critical study conducted by Amy Zagury, "Cecília Meireles: news biographical, critical study, anthology, literature, discography, the score," and in the testimony of letters, interviews, books and chronic prefaciados as princiapal refuge. Using the methods descriptive, analytical, interpretive-comparison, the search is divided into five stages, where: "Initial considerations", "The twentieth century", "Songs - named Freedom," "The Bilbioteca way" and, finally, as a conclusion, "The uniqueness of mystical corner."
A dissertação analisa a obra Cânticos, de Cecilia Meireles, destacando o contexto histórico-cultural, ideológico e artístico do século XX, a partir do estreito relacionamento da literatura produzida pelo poeta com o misticismo das filosofias do Oriente, em específico, o Budismo, com a poesia mística do poeta indiano Rabindranath Tagore e os discursos pacifistas de Mahatma Gandhi e Vinoba Bhave. O trabalho parte do corpus poético, utiliza ainda como apoio a Poesia Completa da escritora, o estudo crítico realizado por Eliane Zagury, em "Cecília Meireles: notícia biográfica, estudo crítico, antologia, bibliografia, discografia, partitura", e os depoimentos constantes de cartas, entrevistas, livros prefaciados e crônicas como amparo princiapal. Utilizando os métodos descritivo, analítico, interpretativo-comparativo, a pesquisa divide-se em cinco momentos, sendo: "Considerações iniciais", "O século XX", "Cânticos - A Liberdade nomeada", " A Bilbioteca via" e, finalmente, como conclusão, "A singularidade do canto místico".

Full textAbstract:
Mangroves represent an important source of livelihood for many poor people acrossthe world. However, insufficient policy responses relating to mangrove conservation,combined with the lack of clearly defined property rights contribute extensively to theconversion of mangroves to alternative uses, in particular shrimp aquaculture. On thebasis of relevant theoretical perspectives on property rights, this Master’s thesisanalyses various formal and informal institutions and existing governancemechanisms that determine natural resources management in the Mahakam delta, EastKalimantan, Indonesia. By employing a qualitative participatory research approachthe case study explores how different institutions in Indonesia shape the local propertyrights regime in mangroves. The results show that the interplay between formal andinformal institutions involved in defining property rights, along with the lack ofcoordination among responsible government agencies, has resulted in the clearing ofone of the largest Nypah forests in the world for shrimp pond construction withinthree decades. Moreover, the study suggests that the current problem of mangrovedestruction will not be solved merely by declaring the Mahakam delta as a protectedarea or by assigning full ownership rights to the local people. On the contrary, thestudy suggests that the coordination and enforcement mechanisms should be enhancedin such ways that they simultaneously address both local peoples’ needs as well asecosystem integrity.

Full textAbstract:
Etudier les trois principales villes du Delta du Nil (Tantâ, Mahalla, Mansûra), agglomérations de 500 000 habitants, c'est à la fois élargir le champ de la recherche urbaine en Egypte, centré sur la capitale et renouveler l'approche, généralement rurale, d'un espace régional. A l'articulation du local et du national, les villes secondaires jouent un rôle majeur dans la transition urbaine, largement entamée en Egypte. Trois objectifs majeurs ont guidé cete recherche : - Analyser les dynamiques de la croissance urbaine, qui bouleversent la définition classique de la ville et imposent le recours à d'autres concepts, l'agglomération et l'aire métropolitaine. Dans les villes du Delta, entourées de riches terroirs agricoles, la contrainte spatiale est forte et les processus d'étalement se conjuguent avec la densification des paysages urbains. Souvent débordé par cette croissance qu'il s'efforce qu'il s'efforce de limiter, l'Etat est tenté de plus en plus de favoriser les nouvelles formes d'urbanisation. - Affirmer l'urbanité de ces trois cités, prises entre un milieu rural exceptionnellement dense (1500 habitants/km2) et une capitale très pesante. La force de leurs identités citadines se traduit aussi dans leur singularité, résumée par un trait caractéristique : le pélerinage d'al-Badawî à Tantâ, le textile à Mahalla et le Nil à Mansurâ. - Forger l'hypothèse de l'émergence autour des trois villes , voisines de 25 kilomètres, d'une région urbaine secondaire, la Mesopolis, intermédiaire entre les deux axes extérieurs qui charpentent le Delta, Le Caire-Alexandrie et les villes du Canal de Suez. Cette Mesopolis renouvelle l'image d'un espace dominé par sa métropoleThis research focuses on the main Nile Delta cities of Tantâ, Mahalla and Mansûra, with 500 000 inhabitants each. Its aim is both to widen the field of urban research in Egypt, centered on the capital Cairo and to challenge the traditional rural approach to a regional space. Secondary cities, which are involved at the local and national levels, play a major role in urban transition, which is well on the way in Egypt. The three guidelines of this study are : - To analyze urban growth processes which drastically change the traditional definition of the city and call for new notions such as agglomeration and metropolitan area. In Delta cities, surrounded with rich farmland, space constraint is high and processes of urban sprawl are combined with the densification of townscapes. However hard the State tries to limit this overflowing growth, it gradually tends to support new forms of urbanization. - To assert the urbanness of these cities, wedged between densely populated rural areas (3885 inhabitants/ml2) and a strong capital. Their remarkable town identifies are also epitomized through three characteristic features : the Al-Badawî pilgrimage in Tantâ, textile industry in Mahalla and the Nile in Mansûra. - To assume the emergence of Mesopolis, a conurbation around the three cities within a 15-mile range, as an intermediary between the two external axes framing the Delta namely Cairo-Alexandria and the Suez Canal cities. This Mesopolis renews the image of an area dominated by the metropolis

Cette thèse, intitulée "L’enseignement traditionnel en Mauritanie : rôle éducatif et perspectives d’évolution", porte sur l’histoire et la situation actuelle de ce type d’enseignement, notamment de sa principale institution : la mahadra. La première partie du travail comprend une présentation de la Mauritanie dans ses différentes dimensions (géographique, historique, socio-culturelle, linguistique…), puis l’étude du système éducatif traditionnel en Mauritanie à l’époque précoloniale et coloniale, et celle du rôle de la mahadra dans la préservation de l’identité culturelle du pays. Dans une seconde partie, il est question de l’enseignement traditionnel depuis l’indépendance du pays jusqu’à nos jours. Il s’agit de passer en revue l’état de ce type d’enseignement et d’examiner l’évolution des politiques menées par les pouvoirs publics dans ce domaine. Nous analysons la situation actuelle de l’enseignement traditionnel, s’agissant aussi bien des écoles ou instituts publics et privés que des mahadras. Enfin, dans la troisième et dernière partie, il est question de l’interprétation des résultats d’une enquête que nous avons réalisée en février - juillet 2011 dans certaines mahadras et autres institutions de l’enseignement traditionnel et de l’interaction entre enseignement moderne et système traditionnel. Sont également étudiées les expériences et études réalisées dans ce domaine depuis l’introduction des médersas, au début du XXe siècle, jusqu’à nos joursThe present study, entitled "Traditional teaching in Mauritania: educational role and perspective of evolution", is about history and nowadays situation of the traditional Islamic teaching in this country. The first part of the work includes a presentation of Mauritania in its various geographical, historical, socio-cultural and linguistic dimensions. The traditional education system in pre-colonial period as well as colonial period is discussed in this part; the role of mahadra in the conservation of the cultural identity of the country is highlighted. In the second part, traditional teaching and other different kinds of teaching are described since the independence of the country until now. We examine the evolution of the policies carried out by the public authorities in this field. The present situation of the traditional education, as well as that of other public and private institutes, is then discussed. Finally, in the third and last part, we give an interpretation of the results of the survey we conducted in February - July 2011 in some mahadras and institutions of traditional education. We analyze also the interactions between public school and traditional system, in the light of some experiments and studies carried out in this field since the introduction of the medersas, in the beginning of the XXth century, until now

Les effets des hydrocarbures sur un milieu naturel complexe comme les mangroves sont tres difficiles a apprehender. Ils sont le resultat d'interactions nombreuses et mal definies. Les essais en laboratoire bien que faciles a realiser, donnent des resultats peu generalisables du fait meme de l'absence des contraintes dues au milieu naturel ont donc ete mis en uvre. Ils demandent une connaissance preliminaire approfondie du milieu dans lequel on travaille, ce milieu servant de laboratoire naturel. Son etude a montre que les peuplements du delta de la mahakam etaient controles par l'equilibre dynamique existant entre masses d'eaux marines et masses d'eaux continentales.

Full textAbstract:
The Uzbekistani state declared mahalla kengash as a local self-government in order to achieve decentralization in its administrative system. This thesis is a critical study of whether decentralization can be an explanatory concept in the examination of new institution-building in Uzbekistan. This thesis claims that dialectic relationship between the center and local state becomes conflictual when there is inconsistency between (a) (national) ruling class and its hegemony, and (b) (local) ruling class and its hegemony. The hegemony of both national and local ruling classes is shaped according to their capacity for conformity/dissention with the Soviet regime, and neo-liberal structural hegemony.
This study based on a case study of Tashkent mahallashas demonstrated that decentralization process has been reversed as a result of the strategies of the Uzbekistani state when the different responses of the mahalla kengash do not conform to mahalla imagined by the state. Shortly, the urban mahalla kengashes of mahalla types which were shaped according to identity politics during the Soviet era could be easily adapted the new regime shifting from class to identity politicswhereas other mahalla types shaped according to class politics of the Soviet regime has fall in difficult situation. Finally, the decentralization policy and hegemonic projects of the regime have been shaped by the dialectic relationship between the state and mahalla kengash. Thus this relationship can be both spatio-temporally and socio-spatially differentiated.Consequently, it has argued that standard theoretical paradigms for understanding transition in post-Soviet local politics are less globally generalizable than previously thought.

Le delta de la mahakam en indonesie est tres favorable a l'etude des effets de la diagenese, du fait de la faible taille de son bassin versant et d'un apport homogene et continu du materiel detritique. Des shales et des gres associes pour une meme profondeur ont ete etudies a 250, 1000, 2000, 2600 et 4230 m dans un meme champ. Ce travail permet d'approcher les problemes tels que les mecanismes d'illitisation dans les shales et dans les gres. Une approche multidisciplinaire a aussi permis d'aborder les problemes de l'origine et des migrations des elements necessaires a l'illitisation des interstratifies illite/smectite. La comparaison des resultats potassium-argon des fractions argileuses fines et des fractions intermediaires detritiques a montre la necessite de la migration du potassium des zones profondes vers la subsurface. Le concept d'une illitisation par etape a ete obtenu a partir de la correction de l'effet du potassium sur l'age apparent potassium-argon des fractions fines argileuses et a partir de l'evolution du pourcentage de feuillets illitiques dans les interstratifies en fonction de la profondeur. Avec cette approche, un logiciel de diffusion de l'argon a pu etre applique pour definir les durees des phenomenes et les paleotemperatures. La signature de l'interaction eau-roche a aussi ete etudiee pour definir les caracteristiques physico-chimiques des fluides actuels du bassin.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional architectural and urban artefacts are showed over the centuries as a powerful imprint of human actions and practices and are being developed on the basis of concrete socio-cultural factors and environmental rationalities. Spatial and morphological patterns of traditional environments have exceedingly evolved to fulfill and accomplish the social and cultural needs of the populace in their dialectical interplay with the surrounding environment. This relationship conceptualises the man-made environment, as the repository of meaning, in users‟ reciprocal relation with the surrounding environment. In the context of history, the human tends to dwell when experiencing the built environment as meaningful. Traditional contexts are highlighted as physical and spatial interpretations of human activities, skills, thoughts and resources creating identifiable and meaningful realms related to space/place, time and society. The study uncovers the process of the formation of the house and mahalla in order to shed light on how the built environment responds to inhabitants‟ socio-cultural determinants and everyday lives. It unfolds how changes in the nature of Iraqi society and its priorities affect the architecture of home and mahalla by reference to the impact of modernity with all its alien socio-cultural principles. This thesis focuses on the architecture of home and mahalla within the traditional core of Kadhimiya city and similar Iraqi socio-cultural contexts. At the macro analytical level, the research investigates the spatial and physical formation of the mahalla as a whole through detecting the socio-spatial aspects of its realms, and how its spontaneous form has responded to the socio-cultural aspects of the community in an integral pattern. At the micro level, the research will go deeper in the perception of the basic aspects of the individual and the family. It investigates how the traditional house reflects and satisfies the personal values of the individual, and achieves his socio-cultural beliefs and everyday life on the basis of inherent norms and conventions. In this vein, public, semi-public/private and private domains are investigated to highlight the mutual interplay between these spheres as key factors in understanding the architecture of the house and mahalla. The research discusses indigenous aspects and principles contained or embedded in the structure of the traditional environment, such as privacy, social solidarity and stability, neighbourliness and so on. It reveals insight into the male-female relationship in the social life of the traditional context, and how the position of women and their idle qualities impact the structure of the house and the hierarchical sequence and organisation of spaces. Identity, tradition, sustainability and everyday life are the main fields discussed with a specific end goal to outline and uncover the role of social factors, cultural beliefs and daily practices in the creation of this particular form. Building on these values, the research adopts an interpretive historical method in revealing the characters of the traditional environment referring to residents‟ habits, customs, rituals and traditions. Several approaches to the built and home environment are discussed for paving or detecting reliable one in the methodological inquiry within which many tools and methods have been utilised and used i.e. archival records, interviews, historical narratives, personal observation and photographic surveys. Data generated consists of photos, maps, interviewees‟ comments, analytical diagrams and historical and travellers‟ descriptions. Research findings indicate many of the inherent and underlying principles upon which the architecture of Iraqi traditional house depends. Within this context, the study has tried to unfold how the formation of the traditional house and the mahalla responded to the socio-cultural aspects of the community and the daily life of its members. Findings, concerning the design principles of the traditional mahalla, were realised as indigenous norms and standards embedded in the structure of society, which can be useful for architects, designers and planners to reconcile traditional and contemporary urban forms through the application of former rules and conventions in City‟s conservation or redevelopment plans. The study reveals that the traditional environment had less socio-cultural contradictions, active day-to-day practices and clear, identifiable and meaningful identity compared with contemporary built environments. Research findings, thus, lead to a set of relevant recommendations addressed to many of the community categories, architects, planners, stakeholders and those interested in this field. They aim to promote the impressive role of socio-cultural factors and strengthen users‟ competence in their physical and spatial settings for home. Moreover, research recommendations discuss how social factors, cultural values, beliefs, practices and rituals can be re-employed in our approach to achieving a more sustainable living environment. Recommendations relating to identity and tradition aim to draw attention and shed light on the significance of traditional built environments in the development of special identity, which played a big role in the sustainability of these contexts for centuries.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses local forms of civil society practised in contemporary Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and provides a common thread on which to base a Central Asian understanding of civil society. I look to find out factors and constituents, which on the surface might be different from a classical liberal concept of civil society. The thesis applies a wider anthropological framework, which sees civil society as a broad network of social relationships, including traditional forms of associational life that can be relatively independent of the state. The study draws upon a multi-locale ethnography in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan including in-depth and focus group interviews, participant observations, case studies, and archival research. I have investigated associations whose activities are concerned with reciprocal relations within society based on community solidarity, self-help, and mutual trust. These include professional associations, trade unions, ethno-cultural associations, religious organisations, courtyard clubs, the traditional Uzbek neighbourhood institution of mahalla, and informal practices of gap and khashar. While arguing that the meaning of civil society depends on context, the study has found that traditional elements of the preserved social fabric in Central Asian societies are reflected in today's networks of individuals. The thesis has generated knowledge on how local forms of associational life define the civil sphere by shaping social organisation, solidarity and mobilisation. Through empirical understanding of the public space, formal and informal networks that bond people together, we can locate wider ethnographic differences between not only the original and Central Asian concepts of civil society but also between two local cultures of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Full textAbstract:
Une méthode de simulation thermodynamique et cinétique des réactions au contact des solutions des milieux poreux sédimentaires, au cours de la diagenèse, a été développée. Elle consistait à combiner l'utilisation de deux modèles thermal et DISSOL ou KINDIS, pour simuler successivement et alternativement l'effet thermique et l'interaction eau-roche. A partir des calculs de transferts de masse, la prise en compte des effets volumiques (dissolution, précipitation) a permis de prévoir les conséquences en retour sur l'évolution du milieu poreux. L'exemple théorique des réactions diagenétiques possibles dans un grès, de composition minéralogique donnée, au contact d'une solution à chimisme initial d'eau de mer entre 25 et 160c a été traité. La relation pH, PCO2 pendant ces réactions et leurs effets sur le phénomène d'albitisation des plagioclases et des feldspaths potassiques sont également étudiés. La première application de ce type de modélisations est le champ pétrolier d'Alwyn sud (mer du Nord). La reconstruction de la composition chimique des fluides responsables des événements diagénetiques tardifs, a pu être faite à partir de la comparaison des résultats de simulations aux données des analyses pétrographiques. La deuxième application est le delta de la Mahakam (Indonésie), les hypothèses proposées sur l'origine des eaux de formation ont pu être testées à travers la modélisation des interactions eaux-roches. L'effet de la pression partielle de gaz carbonique sur le phénomène d'illiltisation dans la séquence est également étudié. Bien qu'elle ait donné des résultats intéressants, l'approche utilisée pour la simulation de quelques étapes clés de la diagenèse minérale, dans le cadre général et dans le cadre du bassin d'Alwyn et du delta de la Mahakam, a montré la nécessité de couplage avec un modèle hydrodynamique afin de tenir compte à la fois de la vitesse des réactions chimiques et de la vitesse de circulation de l'eau.

Full textAbstract:
Staff shortages and lack of space at Prince Mshiyeni Hospital in Umlazi, south of Durban, was blamed for an outbreak of Klebsiella that has claimed the lives of five babies. Contaminated intravenous equipment and poor infection control measures were found to be the source of an outbreak of Klebsiella Pneumoniae, which killed twenty-one babies in another KwaZulu-Natal hospital. "Several flaws were identified" with infection control methods, according to the report that was released and compiled by
medical microbiologist Professor Willem Sturm of the Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine in Durban. Initial investigations at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital north of Durban, found Klebsiella Pneumoniae on the hands of 10% of staff. Interviews revealed that the nursery was usually overcrowded, under-equipped and under-staffed, which worked against adherence to infection control. Early in the investigation at this hospital, a link was found to the babies' intravenous treatment and after other
possibilities were ruled out, medication information for seventeen of the babies showed that they had received regular intravenous injections. The spread was attributed to multiple-use of units of the medication to save costs, inadequate hand washing practices and inappropriate hand wash facilities. Recommendations included sealing off the nursery with strict hygiene controls and abandoning the practice of multiple uses of units of intravenous preparations. "Such preparations should be used only once.
Multiple-use for one patient should also not be done" Furthermore, long sleeves on gowns, white coats and uniforms, or personal wear should be forbidden, and rings and watches should not be worn on hands and wrists as these interfere with hand washing. Such recommendations, though pertinent, do not disguise the seriousness of this situation in our hospitals.A case study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Public Administration.
