Paying for health and schooling services in rural Mali
1986
référence interne : 86019; This study reports on analyses of household demand for health, schooling and water supply services in an impoverished region of the African Sahel. The ability and willingness of rouseholds to pay user fees for these services is assessed. The effect of introduction of such charges on demand among low-income groups most in need of the services is analyzed. Data for the analyses come from surveys conducted in the Kayes region of the Republic of Mali, an area typical of the least-developed rural areas of the Sahel, including a survey of households, surveys of health posts, schools, and drug outlets, and village group surveys.The analyses presented highlight tre import…
The participation of Non-State Actors in the UNESCO Cultural Diversity Convention: Current Status and Proposals for Reform
2023
The paper is articulated into four sections. The first section illustrates the CPPDCE’s legal framework for engagement with actors other than States. It shows that this framework expresses a ''functionalist'' emphasis on NSAs’ capacity of contrib-uting to the adoption of higher quality decisions on the part of States and facilitating their implementation. The second section investigates the relationship between NSAs and the Convention’s bodies. It argues that the existing ''functionalist-oriented'' regula-tion not only has prevented basic stakeholders from having access to the Convention’s processes, but has also created imbalances among participants, to the detriment of the Convention’s ve…

The usage of social media among young adults living in Nairobi, Kenya : only entertainment or contributions to societal change?
2015
Social media usage has been found to have increased all over the world, also in the so-called developing countries. Although the percentages are still rather low, it can be argued that the use of social media is becoming increasingly important also in African countries. Kenya has been found to be one of the leading countries regarding social media usage in East Africa. Although research on social media has been conducted, for instance, on the use of social media in protest movements and in the areas of users’ motivation, less emphasis has been placed on their developmental aspects. Thus, to gain a deeper understanding of the usage of social media in the so-called developing countries, this …

Characteristics and Subjective Evaluation of an Intelligent Empowering Agent for Health Person Empowerment
2022
Empowerment is a process through which people acquire the necessary knowledge and self-awareness to understand their health conditions and treatment options, self-manage them, and make informed choices. Currently, few stand-alone applications for patient empowerment exist and people/patients often go on the Web to search for health information. Such information is mainly obtained through generic search engines and it is often overwhelming, too generic, and of poor quality. Intelligent Empowering Agents (IEA) can filter such information and assist the user in the understanding of health information about specific complaints or health in general. We have designed and developed a first prototy…
User participation in knowledge update of expert systems
1997
Abstract Applying the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) of persuasion we conducted an experiment to examine the effect of participation of users in the design process on their acceptance of system recommendations and revision of their original decisions. Results of our study indicate that two different types of information processing occur when subjects are reviewing the expert system recommendations. 1. (i) For users who have a high perceived level of participation in updating the knowledge of the ES, ambiguity of the decision setting is the primary determinant affecting acceptance of the recommendation from the ES. 2. (ii) For users who have a low perceived level of participation in upda…
Los conflictos urbanísticos : sus causas y sus protagonistas. Una reflexión a partir de la experiéncia de Cataluña
2006
En Cataluña, durante los últimos años, los conflictos relacionados con el uso y la gestión del territorio entre la administración y la ciudadanía han aumentado, especialmente durante el proceso de elaboración y ejecución de algunos planes urbanísticos. Este artículo pretende analizar cuáles son las causas que los originan e identificar los actores que intervienen y, por lo tanto, fijará la atención en las estrategias de movilización que desarrollan los ciudadanos y los discursos que elaboran para poder incidir en el proceso de planeamiento, así como también en las actuaciones que la administración local realiza. In Catalonia, during last years, the conflicts related with the use and managem…
La formazione come strumento di crescita : narrazione di un’esperienza didattica a Palermo
2020
In un momento storico in cui, in Italia, le scuole di pianificazione sono oggetto di importanti, e pesanti, ripensamenti strutturali il paper vuole ragionare sulla necessità sì di una riformulazione di tali scuole, ma in un’ottica di potenziamento e certamente maggiore relazione con le pratiche che quotidianamente influiscono sulla vita delle persone, siano esse tecniche che spontanee. La tesi che si vuole esporre nasce da alcune esperienze personali come docente di pianificazione che da alcuni anni, in modo coordinato con altri docenti e all’interno dell’intero sistema di didattica del corso di laurea magistrale in Pianificazione Territoriale Urbanistica e Ambientale dell’Università degli …
