Multidimensional Growth: Conceptualizing Human Development across Various Indices Case Study: Sierra Leone

An individual's economic, social, emotional, and cognitive growth are only a few of the many facets that make up the complicated and multidimensional idea of development. The need to reframe human development as a multidimensional construct that captures the complex interactions among these multiple dimensions is evident, even in the face of the abundance of indices and frameworks that seek to quantify human progress. In light of the fact that Sierra Leone has recently experienced serious development obstacles, this qualitative case study seeks to investigate the idea of multidimensional growth and its implications for human development in that nation. With 30 participants from a range of backgrounds including policymakers, development practitioners, and community leaders this study uses a purely qualitative methodology to investigate their perspectives on human development in Sierra Leone through in-depth interviews and focus groups. The research uses a phenomenological method to better understand people's lived experiences and perspectives on human development in Sierra Leone. The results of this research demonstrate that human development in Sierra Leone is a multifaceted and intricate concept that defies easy summarization into a single framework or index. The individual accounts of the participants emphasize the significance of taking into account several aspects of human development, such as cognitive, social, emotional, and economic development, along with the connections and interplay among these aspects. A variety of issues, such as institutional and policy frameworks, societal norms and values, historical and cultural contexts, and human development in Sierra Leone are all revealed by the study. Policies and practices will be greatly impacted by the study's conclusions. The report emphasizes the necessity for legislators and development professionals to embrace a more comprehensive and integrated approach to development programming by stressing the significance of a multifaceted approach to human development. The study's findings highlight the need for more sophisticated and situation-specific theories of human development that take into consideration the diversity and complexity of human experiences in various social and cultural contexts. With its more in-depth and contextualized explanation of the idea in the Sierra Leonean context, this study adds to the body of knowledge already available on human development. The study's conclusions call attention to the need for more comprehensive and multifaceted approaches to development programs, which has ramifications for the field of development studies as a whole. In the end, the research shows how critical it is to prioritize the perspectives and experiences of people and communities in development law and policy.

EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH TECHNOLOGY: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON DECISION-MAKING IN ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN

Women's Empowerment is a comprehensive and multidimensional idea. It is concerned with the economic, social, political, and other aspects of life. Because it is all-encompassing, it implies that all aspects of life must be empowered. Empowerment with regard to all dimensions of life apparently to be initiated simultaneously. Technological improvements have drastically shaken the status quo of several facets of women's lives in urban areas as compared to rural ones in the last decade in Pakistan.This research examines the influence of contemporary technology on women's decision-making Islamabad utilizing primary data inferred through quantitative methodology. The chances and challenges that women in the post-technological period encountered while making decisions were also noted in this study. According to this study, women feel more empowered to use technology to make decisions about certain issues they face as well as other issues. The study focuses on women's empowerment in Access to information, Financial management and Social communication decision-making. For immediate benefits, the study suggests that women in rural regions who have easy access to technology be made more aware of it. The study also recommends that the government support digital media, low-income training, ICT workshops, cultural inequality, infrastructure spending, and data protection laws. This will help close the gender equality gap and improve Pakistan's overall economic health as half of the population currently has little influence over decision-making.

Multidimensional Characteristics of Design-Based Engineering Learning: A Grounded Theory Study

Design-based engineering learning is an important learning model in the field of engineering education research, and also an important embodiment of sustainable development engineering education. At present, the research is still in the stage of conceptual discussion, and its connotation has not been effectively clarified. In order to construct a theoretical model of design-based engineering learning, this study adopted grounded theory to carry out exploratory research. First, we selected the advanced class of engineering education in Chu Kochen Honors College of Zhejiang University as a follow-up case, conducted interviews with front-line teachers and students, and collected relevant data; second, we adopted the three-level coding technology of open coding-axis coding-selective coding and used NVivo software to extract concept categories from open codes, and established the connection between categories through the axis coding; and finally, multidimensional ideas were developed through core categories, including design practice, interactive reflection, knowledge integration, and circular iteration. The multidimensional conception of design-based engineering learning constructed in this study aims to provide theoretical support for promoting engineering education research. At the same time, it puts forward some useful suggestions on the training of engineering talents for sustainable development in practice.

Update of challenges for food quality and safety management

This article aims to review how the concept of food quality and safety has evolved in recent years depending on the different circumstances that have been occurring from both, the point of view of scientific-technological progress and the influence that external agents have had, environmental and biological, with special emphasis on the recent pandemic. With this work, we have tried to show that the notion of food quality reposes on an intricate and multi-dimensional idea, which is affected by a broad series of situational and contextual factors. Thus, it has been showed that the traditional concept of food quality based on consumer acceptance and nutrition has been unavoidably implemented with an approach of a personalized nutrition. Approaches related to authentication and safety control based on noninvasive techniques and robust tools for the data treatment also offer new perspectives in food quality and safety. However, perhaps the most urgent point is to link in such a way the innovation and the production of sustainable food systems to demonstrate that the One Health and Zero Waste concepts are not a wishful but a reality.

LITERARY CINEMATOGRAPHIC STYLE AND THE BIBLICAL MOTIFS IN THE NOVEL “THE VOICE OF THE CALLER” BY ALBERTS BEL

Alberts Bels’ novels have occupied a remaining place in the history of Latvian literature and these texts continue to fascinate us with their polyphony. One of the aspects why Bels’ novels do not lose their topicality is the fact that the writer has indulged in archetypical thinking – neo-mythicism, specifically, use of biblical personages, images andmotifs in the subtext and in the direct substantiation for the plot. Another aspect of intertextuality that turns Bels’ texts into exciting, visually and even audio-visually perceivable literature is represented by the elements of cinematographic style. The layers of Bels’ novels reveal a firmnetwork that provide innovative revelations about the multidimensional ideas of his literary works by remaining within the framework of a certain artistic system.

Graphic narratives as history: the emergency period (1975– 1977) in Vishwajyoti Ghosh’s Delhi Calm

ABSTRACT Vishwajyoti Ghosh’s graphic narrative Delhi Calm captures one of the most serious episodes in the history of India, in the graphic narrative form, a purportedly non-serious medium. This paper focuses on the national Emergency declared on the recommendation of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and its representation in Delhi Calm. The paper discusses how unlike the traditional modes of representation of historical events, the graphic medium acknowledges and highlights the constructed and mediated nature of the narrative, thereby foregrounding the author’s role in the representative process. It also scrutinises how the medium engages readers in unique ways towards a reading of history and, therefore, has the potential for democratising history. Furthermore, it examines the various strategies and tropes that are employed to reconceptualise the past and scrutinises how contrasting narratives are included to present a multi-dimensional idea of the historical events, generating a proliferation of meaning and thereby resisting the superiority of any single meaning or grand narrative.

Students’ Perceptions of Excellence in Chilean High-Performing Public Schools

This paper aims to analyze how students attending six of the most prestigious, selective, and high-performing public schools in Chile perceive the concept of excellence and what factors influence their perceptions. A survey was administered to 1,828 students enrolled in 11thand 12thgrade. The results show that students share a multidimensional idea of excellence. Five dimensions are identified but, according to students’ perceptions, there were two constructs that stood out the most: “effort and self-improvement’” and ‘”social commitment and thoughtfulness.” We find that variables such as expectations about the future and perceptions about schools explain the dissimilar ideas of excellence shared by students. This research gives voice to students on a current topic of the educational agenda –the concept of excellence– and invites researchers to re-think this construct from perspectives other than academic achievements

Dynamics of Interests and Positions in the Field of Economic Integration of Russia and Belarus (2019–2020)

Introduction. Economic cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus is based on the platforms of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Union State, and the Eurasian Economic Union. These associations contribute to the identification and promotion of promising business niches and areas of economic integration, taking into account the interests of the participating countries. The Union State, embodying a more multidimensional idea of integration, encourages us to turn to a deeper and more substantive analysis of the relationship between various factors and spheres. The purpose of the article is to identify positive and negative constants and dominants of economic interaction between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus in the general course of integration processes in the CIS and in the context of current challenges of modernity for both countries and the Union State. Materials and Methods. The main research methods are diachronic analysis, event analysis and the method of studying documents. The main sources are materials posted on the Internet resources of integration associations with the participation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. Results. The key actors – state and non-state participants in the economic integration of Russia and Belarus – are identified, the degree of their involvement in integration processes and the dynamics of interaction are characterized. The most attractive traditional spheres of Russian-Belarusian integration are shown, as well as new vectors determined by current needs. Discussion and Conclusion. A moderate positive scenario is considered the most likely in the field of economic integration of Russia and Belarus. The deepening of integration is determined by the content and orientation of the “road maps”, the established economic relationships and political motives in the internal and external spheres. However, the economy in the process of union building largely continues to follow politics. The necessity of closer coupling of efforts within the framework of the CGB and the EAEU is shown. At the same time, the “dissolution” of the Union State in the EAEU and subordination to it in the logic of integration development are assessed as undesirable.

A Proposed Methodology to Achieve the Unit Design of Interior Spaces in Light of the Principles of Morphological Analysis

The methodology of design morphological analysis is characterized by the ability to create an inferential design model characterized by unity and complete harmony of all its design elements, because it is a planned and effective methodology in analyzing and creating design solutions and alternatives for a multi-dimensional idea or design elements by breaking them into simple parts and then re-installing them into formally coherent combinations that facilitate Evaluate it to exclude inconsistent ones. The basic essence of the methodology is to unleash the capabilities of creative perception to the maximum limits of innovation to establish through it a balance and a total link between logical and philosophical sense and freedom of thought and creativity to create designs that have a logical and systematic dimension for the strategic planning stages of the design process as it strengthens the link between its stages and provides logical answers to questions related to planning the formative and formative body of design . This research paper seeks to prove that there is a close relationship between the foundations of achieving the design unit of the interior and methodological spaces that form a formative planning for the design idea (a design scenario) that appears as a fertile planning field in which knowledge is integrated with the aim of analyzing and evaluating the plastic developments in an objective way that gives room for design creativity in a systematic and systematic way to propose All solutions to generate innovative and fully interconnected design ideas.

Enhanced Spectrum Sensing Techniques in Cognitive Radio Based Internet of Things

The use of open Spectrum broadcasting, which is a restricted and valuable resource, has been put under a range of constraints due to the growing interest in wireless applications. There is a huge spectrum requirement nowadays but radio spectrum is an extremely terrifying resource in a normal system. The frequency detection challenge has gained new angles with cognitive radio and artful spectrum allocation principles. However a fixed spectrum allocation needs to result in the use of spectrum as an extraordinary bit of enabled spectrum is not effectively used. To remain away from interference and optimise spectrum immersion, the Cognitive Radio (CR) based Internet of Things (IoT) concept was developed. The best strategy for effective spectrum usage is CR IoT. The fundamental goal of CR IoT would be to use the small set of resources without interfering with the main users (PUs). The different spectrum detection techniques used in CRs are explained in this paper and the advantages and disadvantages of each sensing technique are also discussed. We explained the detection of the cooperative spectrum and all its structures, and also the multi-dimensional dynamic spectrum method. From a cognitive radio point of view, different aspects of a problems of spectrum identification are concentrated and a multi-dimensional idea of spectrum sensing is introduced. Spectrum management problems are provided and techniques to empower spectral detection are presented.

Strangers at the gate: the role of multidimensional ideas, policy anomalies and institutional gatekeepers in biofuel policy developments in the USA and European Union

This article contributes to scholarly understanding of how policy ideas and institutions interact to affect policy change by investigating why legislation mandating the use of biofuels in transport vehicles has been upheld in the USA but scaled back in the European Union. To explain this puzzle, the article advances propositions regarding the role of multidimensional policy ideas, policy anomalies and institutional gatekeepers in legislative agenda-setting. Using structural topic modelling and qualitative methods, the analyses demonstrate that differences in action frames follow from agenda-setting institutions. The corporate structure of the European Commission ensures that EU agenda-setters are reasonably attentive to policy anomalies. By contrast, individuals with agenda-setting authority in the US Congress are liable to discount anomalies by limiting their focus to certain aspects of multidimensional policy issues. Moreover, individuals with gatekeeping authority may prevent repeal bills from accessing the legislative agenda.

A Multidimensional Analysis of Quality of Life: Pakistan’s Context

Quality of Life (QoL) is a multi-dimensional idea that includes various distinctive dimensions and its estimation is considered as an essential factor for policy assessment. The study estimates the inter-district variation in QoL in Pakistan by using a data set of Household Integrated Economic Survey of 2010–2011. Objective and subjective indices are constructed to measure QoL with 7 domains and 31 indicators within 89 districts of Pakistan by employing the principal component analysis. The leading result of the study reveals that top ranked district is Jhelum in term of QoL and Tharparkar is at the bottom. The analysis also reveals that the most of the top ranked districts are located in Punjab province. This reflects the better performance of the province in term objective and QoL indices. Whereas, the districts of Balochistan emerge at the lower end in terms of objective and QoL indices. Majority districts of Punjab shows a modest level of satisfaction regarding the facilities provided by the government and the least satisfied districts belong to KPK and Sindh. It is interesting to identify that disparity in the objective index and subjective perceptions are representing QoL differences.

From responsibility for oneself to shared responsibility

The article presents various links between business and ethics. The idea of responsibility, used to describe legal, economic and ethical aspects, forms the main, unifying thread. The author employs it to analyze three spheres of human activity. The first sphere, the subjective one, concerns self-responsibility, when individuals are striving to satisfy their own needs and to achieve happiness. The second, the encounter with the Other, embraces two meanings: responsibility for and towards the Other. The third sphere, the social one, extends the idea of responsibility onto the historical community we belong to. The concept of co-responsibility is not confined to our life span, but it embraces the future generations as well. The author pinpoints an important element in creating the foundations of a given community, i.e., regulations that form its basis, especially the principle of justice, encompassing the distribution of goods. Many contemporary authors underline this ethical, political and economic aspect (Rawls, communitarians, Ricoeur, Habermas). The main thesis the author would like to substantiate is as follows: in business activities, the ethical conduct of an individual is not sufficient. It needs to be broadened to encompass other perspectives since contemporary societies are based on the multidimensional idea of co-responsibility.

Practising forethought: the role of mental simulation.

Did you know that forethought can be practised? Asking someone how he or she may ‘remember’ the future is an odd question. Particularly so in the clinical simulation community where recall analysis and reminiscence are emphasised over anticipation and prescience. Pre-Briefing is usually a poor relative of debriefing— or so it seems. There are ample studies that ‘feed forward’ with ‘feedback’ have a stimulus more powerful in learning than other variables in education.1 Surprisingly this is not so clear for the ‘debrief’. The reason is partly because the terms ‘debrief’ and ‘feedback’ are used so interchangeably. And unlike healthcare, aviation and the military, the word ‘debrief’ is not part of the mainstream educational research vocabulary. Recent reviews in the healthcare simulation literature attempt to clarify the nature and function of the debrief. Sawyer et al make the distinction that ‘debriefing’ is intrinsically ‘interactive’ and diagnostic, whereas ‘feedback’ is ‘one-way conveyance of information.2 Fanning and Gaba refer to the debrief as the ‘heart and soul’ of lifelong learning.3 But these views may be both reductive and overstating the case. In science, theory directs what researchers and educators do and hindsight analysis legitimises theories by reflection in action and on action. 4 5 Consequently models of how to debrief proliferate in health education and become paradigmatic in describing what constitutes good teaching or effective learning, or both. And here is the quandary. In these descriptions of debriefings construed as collective epiphanies a more complex and multidimensional idea of learning risks being collapsed into one which is essentially retrospective and episodic. In the kindred field of counselling, we learn that this overemphasis can be unhelpful, if not detrimental.6 Indeed, a pointed criticism of current models of reflection is that they do not sufficiently acknowledge the place of anticipation and …

For a multidimensional class analysis in Africa

SUMMARYHow can we analyse the dynamics of social structure in Africa today? This Debate piece argues that a Bourdieu-inspired, multidimensional class analysis opens promising perspectives for understanding class dynamics in Africa. This implies notably bridging objectivist and subjectivist approaches to class analysis, and working with a multidimensional idea of the social space.

The Role of Computer Technologies in Restructuring of Design Education

Today it’s possible to create works where interdisciplinary multi-dimensional ideas can be modelled via definite algorithms thanks to parametric design tools. This change in the field of design converts the re-setup of the design education obligatory along with it. For this primarily a literature seach is conducted within the scope of the study in order to determine the advantages to be provided to students by parametric design tools, being totally different from the traditional design sense, and it is seen that the advantages in question are basicly clustered under 25 main topics. In this context is the scope and purpose of the study determined as; to re-scruntinize the advantages provided by the parametric design tools determined in the literature and to test these on real projects and to reveal the necessity to integrate computer technologies into this process during the structuring process of the education with real samples. As the methodology of the study 20 projects, developed with computer technologies, are selected. Then, every project is handled one by one and scruntinized whether the advantages provided by parametric design tools are benefited from during the development process of these projects. As a result of all evaluations performed within the scope of the study, it is determined that the advantages provided by parametric design tools are benefited from at different levels during the development process of these projects. In line with all these determinations, it is revealed with real samples that the integration of computer technologies into the design education will significantly contribute to the professional skills of the students.

Conceptual Reflections on Ethics for International Research Collaborations in Disaster Impacted Areas from the Experiences in Indonesia, New Zealand and Japan

The present contribution is by no means a first attempt at considering the ethics in human activities, interactions in disaster impacted areas, but it is more the case of looking at 'international research' that present a very particular difficulty for ethics: the notion of trans-boundary, multi-dimensional idea of one group not really belonging within another, but which will perform functions inside this second group and eventually alter, modify some of the original organs. This paper explain the reflections of the ethical consideration of international research collaboration in disaster impacted areas which are emerged from the experiences in Indonesia, New Zealand and Japan.

Women and fitness in American culture

Women and Fitness in American Culture explores and explodes common representations and experiences of American fitness. This book takes women's experiences as the centre of inquiry toward an understanding of the function of fitness in our lives and in our culture-at-large. Ranging from 1968 to present day, from Jane Fonda to WiiFit, from revolution to institutionalisation, from personal to political, and beyond, this book considers a broad range of topics from an interdisciplinary perspective including; generations, cultural appropriation, community development, art choreography, methodology, healing, and social justice. Drawing on her experience as a cultural theorist, educator, and fitness instructor, the author offers critical and creative approaches that reveal the limitations and possibilities of fitness. This work asks us to think about our own relationship to fitness as well as the more abstract meanings of this term and ultimately argues that a multidimensional idea of fitness has some potential to transform ourselves and our worlds...if we're willing to do the work(out).
