Institutionalisation of Farmer Participatory Research in Southern Ethiopia The purpose of the latter project is to facilitate the institutionalisation of FPR approaches and tools within the organisations involved in generating and transferring agricultural technology in southern Ethiopia. As described in the introduction, the purpose of the project is to institutionalise FPR approaches and tools within the organisations involved in generating and disseminating agricultural technology in the Southern Region.

Art Monthly If the argument against institutionalisation in art is not to merge with the conservative defence of art as a minority culture of permanent values threatened by the masses and dumbing down, then it must engage with the specifics of the social system that art is gripped by in the process of institutionalisation. The classic case of institutionalisation in which the Avant Garde is recuperated by the dominant categories and values of art is that of Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, 1917, when it is repackaged by the Museum of Modern Art as a beautiful modernist object. Worse still, by navigating their practice according to the taboo on institutionalisation, the ultra-radical becomes nothing more than a negative image of the institution rather than an alter native to it that cuts across the values of the institution instead of merely inverting them. www.artmonthly.co.uk /beech.htm   (2086 words)

Institutionalisation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Institutionalisation occurs whenever there is a reciprocal typification of habitualised actions by people. This controlling character is inherent in institutionalisation as such, prior to or apart from any mechanisms of sanctions set up to support an institution. These mechanisms (the sum of which constitute a system of social control), exist in many institutions and in all the agglomerations of institutions that are societies. pages.britishlibrary.net /altcamden/www3/institutionalisation.htm   (1199 words)

SD : People : Gender and Participation in Agricultural Development Planning : Section 2: Comparative analysis of the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The recent appointment of a new generation of directors in AHVS and Planning have created new opportunities to institutionalise gender-sensitive programmes and policies, but the absence of funding is still a serious constraint, especially for the training of trainers who are needed to incorporate project methods in pre-service and in-service extension training. The progress and problems of efforts to institutionalise gender-sensitive policies in Honduras is a cautionary tale, warning us of the perils, in the era of structural adjustment, of putting all institutionalisation efforts into government agencies (as most projects have done). After structural adjustment drastically reduced the Honduran government's ability to serve the small farm sector, the project refocused its efforts to support women's organisations by training women volunteers to be independent para-technicians capable of training women's groups in organisational management and technical skills. www.fao.org /SD/WPdirect/WPre0056.htm   (2029 words)

Reduced risk of institutionalisation in patients with dementia Further statistical analyses were employed that took into account the effects of risk factors for institutionalisation such as disease severity, disability with activities of daily living and the absence of a co-resident caregiver. The results of these analyses found that long-term treatment with galantamine was associated with a 27% relative risk reduction for institutionalisation for each additional year of galantamine treatment. Commenting on these findings, Tuula Pirttilä, study investigator and Professor in Neurology at Kuopio University Hospital, Department of Neurology, Kuopio, Finland said: "For many patients with Alzheimer's disease and their families, postponing admission to a residential or nursing home for as long as possible is very important. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2004-11/rc-rro110904.php   (975 words)

Population Health Metrics | Full text | A note on the use of sensitivity analysis to explore the potential impact of ... One approach to investigating the contribution of changes in institutionalisation prevalence to changes in non-institutionalised health state prevalence measures is to use sensitivity analysis. Graham et al [6] report that the prevalence of moderate agility limitation among females aged 65 or over increased from 13% to 17.2%, while the utilisation of institutional care declined from 8.3% to 7.5%. Nevertheless, it is useful to quantify the possible contribution of declining institutionalisation to the observed increase in limitation prevalence. www.pophealthmetrics.com /content/2/1/3   (3355 words)

Karl Popper, Hayek, and Bartley's philosophies.Insights by Rafe Champion. The task of imaginative criticism belongs to all thinking people, although it has been institutionalised with certain organisations such as the universities and with occupational groups such as academics, including philosophers.  This process of institutionalisation has almost proved fatal. It sometimes appears that the institutions and groups who have the most responsibility for the health and vigour of our thinking have in fact done much to mutilate and debilitate our heritage. www.the-rathouse.com   (287 words)

ePrintsUQ - The Social Construction of Economic Man: The Genesis, Spread, Impact and Institutionalisation of Economic ... The present thesis is concerned with the genesis, diffusion, impact and institutionalisation of economic ideas. In fact, with only a few notable exceptions, the majority of scholarly work concerning the spread and impact of economic ideas has been developed outside of the economics literature, for example in the political institutionalist literature in the social sciences. The present thesis addresses the current lack of attention to the spread and impact of economic ideas by economists by drawing on the political institutionalist, sociological, and psychology of creativity literatures to develop a framework in which the genesis, spread, impact and institutionalisation of economic ideas may be understood. eprint.uq.edu.au /archive/00004455   (789 words)

Institutionalisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term institutionalization is widely used in social theory to denote the process of making something (for example a concept, a social role, particular values and norms, or modes of behaviour) become embedded within an organization, social system, or society as an established custom or norm within that system. See the entries on structure and agency and social construction for theoretical perspectives on the process of institutionalisation and the associated construction of institutions. The term 'institutionalization' may also be used to refer to the committing by a society of an individual to a particular institution such as a mental institution. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Institutionalisation   (1131 words)

Vanguard -Viewpoint : Politics, democracy and intra-party crises in Nigerian politics Any public distancing from a policy leadership position that was officially agreed upon, and often in environments of strict confidentiality can, therefore, be seen as deliberately stoking the fires of intra-party crises through some grandstanding that would have been amusing were it not dangerous for a fragile democracy. Wear party institutionalisation: Both for reasons of historical discontinuity in the development of party system in Nigeria and poor democratic commitment, political parties have not enjoyed institutionalisation. Party system institutionalisation means that actors entertain clear and stable expectations about the behaviour of other actors, and hence about the fundamental contours of party competition and behaviour. www.vanguardngr.com /articles/2002/viewpoints/vp623102005.html   (897 words)

Institutionalisation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Because of these major difficulties involved in the institutionalisation of participatory approaches (the process of 'scaling up' projects), exemplary success stories in this area are few. The lack of success in the institutionalisation of the ILA in the DGIS programme can be explained by the fact that certain conditions concerning three areas -institutional support and context, learning environment and participatory approaches and methods- were not sufficiently fulfilled.

TOWARDS THE INSTITUTIONALISATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) An improved and strengthened role of participatory technical, economic, social, institutional and environmental feasibility analysis, was suggested as a means to improve the capability of the project and local institutions to process community and interest groups inputs. Due to the relatively short field-experience, institutionalisation at the national-level of the work developed so far by PUCD project in Tunisia is perhaps premature. Unfortunately, in Pakistan prospects of institutionalisation are less solid and perhaps more time will be needed to ensure international support to the continuation of project experience. www.fao.org /docrep/field/383525.htm   (13939 words)

UN Enable - Article 17 | Seventh Session - Comments, proposals and amendments submitted electronically   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) This could be dealt with by adding, after the words ‘forced intervention’ the words ‘of any kind’ and removing the words ‘on forced institutionalisation’ Para 2 would then read “States Parties shall protect persons with disabilities from forced interventions ‘of any kind’ aimed at correcting, improving or alleviating any actual or perceived impairment”. Given the serious nature of any intervention where the integrity of the person is in question, it is our view that even with consent there should be safeguards around nonemergency interventions or treatment. Regardless of the mechanism by which consent to such interventions or institutionalisation is achieved, no action of this sort should be permissible without a process of independent review that is established by law consistent with the Convention and international human rights law. www.un.org /esa/socdev/enable/rights/ahcstata17sevscomments.htm   (2713 words)

UN Enable - Article 15 | Fifth Session - Comments, proposals and amendments submitted electronically Therefore, it is not surprising that clauses preventing or limiting institutional approaches to disability are dotted throughout the draft text. Discussion at this Committee, including many proposals to shift paragraphs and re-structure the text around these issues, indicate that the repetitive and unfocussed organisation is not satisfactory and that there is not always a common understanding about the concept of ‘institutionalisation’. Further, we wish to reiterate that we consider forced ‘institutionalisation’ that does not relate to either criminal activity or some form of treatment must be prohibited and is a violation of human rights and this should be clear. www.un.org /esa/socdev/enable/rights/ahcstata15fiscomments.htm   (3830 words)
