This essay reveals the ways a representative handful of early modern rhetoric manuals disseminate a formative, civilizing ideology that render them a crucial resource, as well as a point of contention, for other cultural expressions of verbal eloquence in the service of the commonwealth. As a case study that expressly tackles the civilizing agenda of rhetoric, Ben Jonson's The Magnetic Lady depicts a hero-orator who ostensibly enables civic harmony, and yet the play problematizes his “magisterial wit” by introducing doubt about both the use of rhetoric to guide society and the kind of society emerging from such efforts. Furthermore, by interrogating early modern rhetorical treatises’ depictions of the civilizing orator alongside Jonson's dramatic representation, I explore the ways a gendered and classed subject, whose polymorphous speech I ultimately theorize as “female noise”, parodies and thus exposes the corruption underlying rhetoric's civilizing agenda. The reconciliation gestures of the play are the...

Cooperation between users and producers of statistics. A dialogue should be fostered between national statistical offices and interested stakeholders, including womens groups. The general approach in the development of gender statistics has involved efforts to promote dialogue and understanding between statisticians and the various users of statistics— policymakers, representatives of non-governmental organizations, activists and researchers (United Nations, 2000).

And third, child protection appears to contain information that is somewhat different from the 6 other dimensions among younger children. Overall then, deprivations do not all cluster together, some correlate more strongly with each other than others, and some individual deprivations correlate more strongly with household level measures (e.g. health among younger children in urban areas, information for younger children in rural areas). This means that further probing of the data is necessary to understand the determinants of individual deprivations in order to pin point whom to target and which interventions will have the highest chance of reducing deprivation rates. The slope in these graphs is steepest among younger children in urban areas suggesting that income is an important determinant of deprivations in urban areas, probably because services are actually available in urban areas if one has the ability to purchase them.

This study aims to show that "smart cities" are smart society. Smart cities apply the principle of meritocracy in every policy, including education policy. With the perspective of functional structure sociology as a analysis, and examining facts through literature, this study also shows that the foundations of the myth of Meritocracy and the theory of correspondence do not hold firm that social reproduction in society is obvious, but our argument, the social status of the actor is not always linear with the actor's social status. Social mobility will be realized because the principle of meritocracy is applied in every policy. As a result, meritocratic policies are the main principles of smart sociological cities (apart from system integration and application of technology in a city).

The authors trace the development and implementation of Virginia's History and Social Science standards-based accountability system from 1995 to 2009. They frame the study within an examination of the political ideologies that influence policy realization and unpack the relationship between ideological and epistemological beliefs about the nature of disciplinary knowledge and arguments regarding what knowledge is of most worth and whose voices should be included. While initial policy implementation created vociferous reactions, subsequent revisions have been met with silence. Such acquiescence, the authors suggest, reflects the ways in which high stakes testing as a vehicle for assessing learning has become normalized in Virginia. This shift in beliefs about education foreshadows the potential impact of the nationwide accountability movement and raises a concern that if Virginia ceased to test history and social science, its place within the school schedule would be lost to content areas that impact Adequ...

This research aims to map the academic production on the field of Administration concerning “e-Democracy” and “e-Government”. The corpus is composed by articles published in Brazilian high impact journals in the field of Public Administration, public policies and information systems, from 2002 until 2016. The study analyzes the texts according to variables year, journal, author, approach (managerial, political, hybrid), through content analysis. The research has found 49 articles mostly concentrated in only seven journals and mostly produced by researchers from only six Brazilian institutions. In addition, we found that the term "digital democracy" was practically non-existent until 2011. Finally, management approach was predominant in early stages, but was overcome by political approach in recent years. We conclude that the area of Administration has been able to overcome an overly managerial view, but the subject still needs more academic attention.

It also raised concerns about the higher use of these codes in some specialities, such as orthopaedics and ophthalmology, and instances of inappropriate use. Both the initial report by the Auditor General for Scotland (2013 a), and a follow-up report from later that year (Auditor General for Scotland, 2013b), do importantly note that the use of unavailability codes began to reduce in late 2011, a trend which continued into 2012 and 2013. Much of this work is the Quality and Efficiency Support Team (QuEST) and is described further in Section 2.9.

When instruction is narrowly focused on specific knowledge, skills and question formats test results become an increasingly misleading measure of student achievement (Hout and Elliott, 2011). This problem is often exacerbated when teachers perceive tests as high stakes as a result of incentive systems, it can also be caused inadvertently if tests are not updated frequently. For example, in Sweden the Year 5 standardised test is used over 2 successive years and teachers may inadvertently “teach to the test” in the second year leading to score inflation and reducing the validity of the results (Nusche, forthcoming). In Denmark, teaching to the test takes the form of increased focus on tested content areas and reduced focus on creative, innovative and oral skills (Wandall, 2010 cited in Shewbridge et al.,

It works on a contractual basis with the 18 municipal water providers (until 2018). Water supply continues to be governed by national laws and associated regional laws and policies. The Veneto ATO also plays a regulatory role: it sets fees for water services, and determines contractually-based incentive payments and fines for compliance with water quality standards/environmental standards established by VERITAS.

For example, in Finland (among other countries), independent non-governmental anti-discrimination institutions monitor the protection of human rights in the mass media and advertising. Such an institution may be instrumental in achieving the strategic objective of the Beijing Platform for Action to “promote a balanced and non-stcreotyped portrayal of women in the media”.39 This institution could be composed of lawyers, journalists, publishers, media representatives, advertisers and representatives of women’s organisations, its goals would be to uphold the protection of women’s rights in reporting and advertising, without infringing upon freedom of speech, publication, press or media. With respect to the portrayal of women in the media and the protection of their dignity and rights, governments may consider the governmental initiative launched in 2005 by Morocco (Box 7.10).

In case the originator of the data has already been granted marketing approval abroad, a country may decide to base domestic marketing approval on the recognition of the foreign approval. Alternatively, a country may also decide to require the data originator to carry out additional clinical trials, in case it considers the trials undertaken for the foreign approval as insufficient. Instead, it will at least require the generic producer to submit evidence of bioequivalence between the generic drug and the originator’s product, i.e. to show that the copied product performs in the same manner as the originator’s product (the safety and efficacy of which has already been proven).551 By doing so, the generic producer does not make use of the originator’s data, which remains undisclosed and unknown to him, in line with the TRIPS Agreement (see below for details).

Here, fossil fuel resource constraints may work alongside externality pricing to make renewables more cost-competitive, yet resource availability (competing land uses) may also act as constraints for the deployment of renewables at scale. The magnitude of decarbonization required in the future affords no such gradualism. Moreover, a transition away from the energy infrastructures and institutions that have coevolved with fossil fuels over the last century carries its own costs and inertias (Unruh, 2000).

Girls reported more positive attitudes towards relationships, meaning that they tend to be more interested in the opinions of others and want others to succeed. Boys, on the other hand, are more likely to see the instrumental benefits of teamwork and how collaboration can help them work more effectively and efficiently. Students who reported more positive student-student interactions score higher in collaborative problem solving, even after considering the socio-economic profile of students and schools. Schools that succeed in building on these attitudes by designing collaborative learning environments might be able to engage disadvantaged students in new ways.

This aquifer is shared by France and Switzerland, and a joint agreement for its management and protection was first signed in 1978. Other jointly agreed transboundary aquifers include, for example, those shared by Belgium and the Netherlands, Belgium and France, Austria and Hungary, Austria and Slovenia, and Spain and Portugal. For instance, on the basis of hydrogeological knowledge, ecological criteria and the presence of Natura 2000 sites, 34 groundwater bodies in the Scheldt River basin were identified as being in close connection with surface water. However, even for the well-established river basin commissions, addressing transboundary groundwaters is a new challenge.

The chapter highlights good practice from the region and internationally and concludes with recommendations to make collaboration and outreach more effective. The main message of the chapter is that whilst higher education institutions are often actively engaged with their local stakeholders, the picture of diverse projects and programmes is fragmented. Much more could be achieved through a comprehensive region-wide approach to development, stronger evidence base and co-ordination of targeted efforts to address the key challenges in the region.

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women requires States parties to take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women and ensure the practical realization of the principle of the equality of women and men in the political, economic, social, cultural and any other fields. States are obligated not only to refrain from engaging in acts of discrimination, but also to eliminate discrimination against women by any person, organization or enterprise.

Aware of the myths themselves, many victims adjust their initial account in order to appear believable. If this is understood through the lens of myths, then the prosecutor will see the inconsistency as making a false complaint or as creating evidentiary problems. The trauma might affect the victim’s ability to coherently or fully recount her experience. Being supported at the initial interview enables the victim to be more relaxed and develop trust for full disclosure of the incident. Victims often need to feel safe and supported before reporting. They often only report after they have arrived at a safe location or after they have talked to family, friends or support persons.

The Frontlines of Medicine Project is a collaborative effort of emergency medicine (including emergency medical services and clinical toxicology), public health, emergency government, law enforcement, and informatics. This collaboration proposes to develop a nonproprietary, "open systems" approach for reporting emergency department patient data. The common element is a standard approach to sending messages from individual EDs to regional oversight entities that could then analyze the data received. ED encounter data could be used for various public health initiatives, including syndromic surveillance for chemical and biological terrorism. The interlinking of these regional systems could also permit public health surveillance at a national level based on ED patient encounter data. Advancements in the Internet and Web-based technologies could allow the deployment of these standardized tools in a rapid time frame.

Thus, the Government decided to conduct the supplementary immunization activity for people aged 18-30 years in May 2016. Of the reported cases of enterovirus disease, 83 per cent occurred in children who were younger than 10 years and 10 per cent of those infected were younger than 1 year. Hygiene promotion activities were performed by volunteers and staff of the Mongolian Red Cross Society in order to deliver important messages to the public about the prevention of this disease.

The lines for all five countries are essentially flat, which implies that there is very little systematic variation in rates of benefit receipt between calendar months. Any month-to-month fluctuations in benefit receipt observed in the monthly rates of benefit receipt for Sweden and Norway in the bottom-left panel represent ‘noise’, i.e. random variations, rather than seasonal effects. Figure 6 shows that 2-4% of working-age individuals in Latvia and Norway receive HB while the corresponding share is 3-6% in Germany and 8-10% in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Taken together, these new resources networked through the IOTWS represent a major improvement in regional preparedness (Figure III-3). Established in 1968, this system has remained a “gold standard” in early warning, and today can issue tsunami warnings in only seven minutes.20 Since 2011, the service providers of the IOTWS have also reached a high degree of sophistication, and normally issue the first tsunami bulletins within 10-15 minutes of a tsunamigenic earthquake. One is the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee (TC) which covers storms emerging from the Western Pacific.

This was demonstrated for polychaete and molluscan taxa from the equatorial Seychelles relative to their counterparts at high latitudes in the Atlantic and Pacific (Mackie and others, 2005). Another example of the non-generality of the relationship between latitude and diversity is that of MacKay and others (in press), who found that the soft sediment shelf macrobenthos of the central KwaZulu-Natal Bight on the east coast of South Africa (~28-29°S) are abundant and rich, and are comparable to some of the highest levels of richness in marine unconsolidated sediments found elsewhere, as reported by Gray and others (1997). The Annelida were dominated by Polychaeta which were particularly diverse (49 families).

Humans are the greatest creatures in the world. Our intelligence defined our dignity as human beings and our dignity should be respected. Therefore, human rights is the basic rule of human existence. However, human rights is seldom applied to human corpse. Most countries do not have specific legislation related to the management of human corpse after disaster and additionally, international law also failed to propose a treaty specifically dealing with the management of human corpse after disaster. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyse the related treaties, customary international humanitarian law and soft law pertaining to the management of human corpse. Qualitative methodology with analytical, historical and comparative approaches was used in this study. Results indicate that there are no existing specific treaty that governs the management of human corpse after disaster.

Consequently, cities worldwide must take advantage of the need to redress existing deficiencies in housing, urban infrastructure and services, whilst simultaneously creating jobs and stimulating the urban economy. It stigmatizes and even removes large groups of the urban population from a socially and economically productive life (Box 1.2), and it excludes, by preventing them and their children from benefitting from opportunities to advance in the society at large. While inequality and exclusion are closely related as shown in Chapter 4, inequality has been at the centre of policy discussion. It is therefore gratifying that Goal 10 of the Sustainable Development Agenda seeks to reduce inequality within and among countries.

This shows an example of a gender gap for STEM education in line with the male bias noted above, in figure 3.8 for tertiary education. Closing the gender gap in tertiary education needs to factor in the strategic opportunity that graduating from STEM fields represents for African women and girls, as well as the overall benefits to the economy as a whole. Ethiopia has made good progress while narrowing inequalities, and although it remains far from the target, it is advancing towards the goal.

At the same time, the high population growth and rapidly changing lifestyles and diets are leading to growing demand for wheat. This increasing demand for wheat is not only an Arab phenomenon, rather it is a worldwide occurrence indicating, therefore, that ensuring wheat availability will remain at the top of the regional agenda for the foreseeable future. It is easily stored and processed into flour that can be used in many culinary preparations, making it one of the most important sources of carbohydrates. It contains proteins and a wide diversity of minerals, vitamins and lipids, which makes it highly nutritious especially when combined with other food items (such as, for example meat, legumes and vegetables).

Data on public provision of climate finance is therefore generally quite complete for these Parties (OECD, 2015). Annex II Parties currently report this information in their national communications and biennial reports (see Section 3), particularly on financial resources provided to developing countries (i.e. bilateral finance). Some countries not listed in Annex II (including Annex I Parties such as Poland and non-Annex I Parties such as Korea) also currently report this information in their BRs and BURs, as well as information on their official development assistance for climate purposes to the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC).
