A comprehensive framework for evaluating funder's performance

Evaluation methods for assessing the performance of non-profit funders are lacking. The purpose of the research was to create a comprehensive framework that systematically assesses the goals and objectives of a funder, how these relate to the funder's allocation of resources, and the potential impact of programs and services selected by the funder for resource allocation to address organizational goals and objectives. The Houston Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a local chapter of a national breast cancer awareness advocacy organization, was selected as the funding agency whose performance assessment was to assist in the creation of this framework. Evaluation approaches from the government sector were adapted and incorporated into the research to guide the methods used to answer the three research questions corresponding to the three phases of research within the study: (1) what are the funding goals and objectives of the Affiliate?; (2) what allocation scheme does the organization use to address these goals and objectives and select programs for funding?; and, (3) to what extent do the programs funded by the Affiliate have potential long-term impact? ^ Within the first stage of the research, document reviews of the Affiliate's mission-based documents and bylaws and interviews with organizational and community informants revealed a highly latent constellation of broad objectives that were not formalized into one guiding document, thus creating gaps in management and governance. Within the second phase of the research, reviews of grant applications from the 2008-2009 funding cycle and interviews with employees and volunteers familiar with the funding process revealed competing ideas regarding resource allocation in light of vague organizational documents describing funding goals and objectives. Within the final stage of the research, these findings translated to the Affiliate selecting programs with highly varying potential long-term impact with regards to addressing goals and objectives relating to breast cancer education, screening, diagnostics, treatment, and support. The resulting performance assessment framework, consisting of three phases of research utilizing organizational documents and key informant interviews, demonstrated the importance of clearly defined funding goals and objectives, reference documents and committee participation within the funding process, and regular reviews of potential long-term impact for selected programs, all supported by the active participation and governance of a funder's Board of Directors.^

La planificación ambiental estratégica en los instrumentos de ordenamiento territorial. Caso de estudio: el Plan Regulador Intercomunal del Alto Aconcagua (PRIAA), provincias de San Felipe y Los Andes, V Región, Valparaíso, Chile

El artículo presenta la aplicación de un modelo de Planificación Ambiental Estratégica al diseño de un Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial en la zona de estudio, cuyo territorio se caracteriza por poseer un significativo patrimonio ambiental en términos de recursos naturales, paisaje, historia, etc. Junto a lo anterior, muestra un fuerte dinamismo económico por su localización en relación a la Macrozona Central de Chile, el Mercosur y el futuro corredor bioceánico. El objetivo fue diseñar una metodología que permitiera incorporar la dimensión ambiental en cada en cada una de las etapas características de elaboración de un Plan Regulador. El estudio ambiental se baso en tres etapas: diagnóstico ambiental, evaluación ambiental de alternativas y definición del proyecto, para lo cual se desarrollaron metodologías especificas apoyadas en sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) y modelos de simulación. La aplicación del modelo de planificación ambiental estratégica permitió obtener un Plan territorial con zonas y ordenanzas que protejan el patrimonio ambiental existente y aminore los impactos ambientales negativos de futuras actividades que se instalen en un territorio.

Allons enfants de la patrie: el archivo personal de Anunciada Mastelli

En el campo de la historia de la educación, el artículo presenta el análisis de la biografía de la educadora Anunciada Mastelli. El trabajo se complementa con el archivo personal de Mastelli, en el que se conserva una importante cantidad de folletos, recortes periodísticos, discursos manuscritos, publicaciones gremiales, estatutos de gremios del magisterio, actas de reuniones y congresos y notas a las autoridades nacionales. Este artículo expone cómo el archivo testimonia la continua experiencia política de la educadora, desarrollada a la par de una constante labor pedagógica que no ha quedado documentada del mismo modo. Bajo la inspiración de las ideas de la escuela nueva, genera una práctica propia que encarna en las condiciones existentes en la escuela de su tiempo y se vincula así con otros docentes que comparten similares preocupaciones pedagógicas y políticas. Mastelli comparte con Cossettini, Jesualdo e Iglesias la oposición al "modelo normalizador"; sin embargo, lo que de ella heredamos fundamentalmente es un archivo que da cuenta de su actividad política y gremial. Los documentos atestiguan la activa participación gremial de esta educadora, sus acciones por la unidad de la lucha del magisterio y una preocupación sostenida por el "afianzamiento de la nacionalidad y espíritu de argentinidad en la escuela y la docencia".

Web mining for translators: automatic construction of comparable, genre-driven corpora

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy of the application WebBootCaT to create specialised corpora automatically, investigating the translation of articles of association from Italian into English. The first section reflects on the relevant literature and proposes the utility of corpora for translators. The second section discusses the methodology employed, and the third section analyses the results obtained and comments on how language professionals could possibly exploit the application to its full. The fourth section provides a few concrete usage examples of the thus built corpora, to then conclude that WebBootCaT is a genuinely powerful tool that could be implemented by professional translators in order to save time and improve their translations in the long term.
