Hope in Action: Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change at the Municipal Level in Massachusetts
Authors: Washington-Ottombre Camille , Fonte Una Soleil Elizabeth , Jameron Irina , Lacroix Amandine Océane 
Published: January 2025

Alors que se multiplient les sombres récits et les prévisions inquiétantes sur le changement climatique, le Commonwealth du Massachusetts a invité toutes les municipalités de l’État et leurs résidents à participer à son programme de Préparation à la Vulnérabilité Municipale (MVP), destiné à planifier l’adaptation ainsi qu’à renforcer la résilience au changement climatique. Sept ans après le lancement du programme MVP, cette étude se demande si le programme a réussi à favoriser un « espoir », compris comme capacité à envisager « la possibilité d’un avenir favorable », tout en planifiant la résilience et l’adaptation au changement climatique. Pour cela, nous avons analysé 334 rapports de planification et 233 demandes de subventions produites par des municipalités du Massachusetts. Ce travail de recherche contribue à la littérature scientifique sur l’adaptation au changement climatique et la résilience en formulant pour la première fois une analyse agrégée de cas d’études de planification et d’action à l’échelle d’un État. Ce faisant, cette étude met en lumière la valeur, les limites mais aussi les possibilités d’amélioration de telles initiatives conduites pas les États.Cette étude montre que, sur de nombreux points, le programme MVP est un véritable succès : il s’est imposé dans tout l’État, a suscité un engagement très significatif de la part des municipalités, et a placé l’adaptation au changement climatique et la résilience au cœur de l’action municipale. Bien que le programme MVP n’ait pas encore complètement transformé les municipalités, il a permis de redéfinir les débats autour du changement climatique et de l’urbanisme, au Massachusetts et au-delà. Alors que de nombreuses villes du Massachusetts avaient connu un lent déclin et se sentaient abandonnées par l’État depuis des décennies, le MVP leur a redonné de l’importance en leur montrant qu’elles seraient soutenues, face aux incertitudes liées au changement climatique. Il a donné aux municipalités et aux résidents un espace de discussion ainsi qu’une raison d’espérer.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
In a labor and delivery facility, clinical maternity conditions can change quickly, which can result in unanticipated morbidities for both the mother and the baby. One important way to assess the quality and accessibility of a labor and delivery unit is to look at the rates of normal vaginal deliveries (NVDs) and cesarean sections (CS). These metrics are presented in the maternity dash board (MDB), as it firstly implemented in the Obstetric and Gynaecologic Teaching Hospital in Karbala.

Patients and Methods:
Research data were collected from the medical records of a labor and delivery unit manually and put in the MDB program, which was newly implemented in that hospital in 2023. The data were collected from the January 1st to December 31, also used data from last year before implementing the program, and then compared the data before and after the installation of MDB.

Results:
As the result of our study, the total NVD rate was 66% and 68% before and after implementation, respectively, indicating a significant increase in NVD (P < 0.0024), and the CS rate was 33% and 31% before and after implementation, respectively, indicating a significant reduction in the CS rate (P < 0.0001) after the implementation of the MDB.

Conclusion:
There is a significant reduction in the CS rate after the implementation of the MDB.

Published: January 2025

The present research is an attempt to provide insights into the role of foreign language proficiency in recruitment within the Armenian labor market. It aims to address the disparity in the existing body of research and provide actionable insights into the essential role of foreign languages across various industries and enterprises.
The paper initially highlights the historical and socio-cultural factors that strongly affected the plurilingual tendencies in the country, and further elucidates how the capacity for minority languages alongside the mother tongue has become an asset for maintaining socio-cultural identity.
This research aims to offer reevaluated perspectives within the existing discourse by analyzing studies from national and international databases, comparing and contrasting their findings and conducting local surveys alongside an empirical review of job announcements. The research findings prove the crucial role of foreign language proficiency in the Armenian labor market, with most employers and employees regarding it a high-priced advantage in the job-seeking and hiring process. This outcome should encourage more active language learning and teaching practices.
The final implications reflect our stance on the importance of integrating Academic Foreign Language and Foreign Languages for Specific Purposes instruction with Foreign Language as a Medium of Instruction. This method would efficiently synchronize language education curricula with learners' academic and career requirements.
