Cet article discute des problemes de gouvernance et de corruption en Afrique dans le cadre dun debat politique et philosophique large entre universalisme et relativisme, idealisme et realisme, ainsi que entre individualisme et communautarisme. Premierement, je defends que lapproche realiste de lethique politique et du leadership ne permet pas de differencier entre les elements descriptifs et prescriptifs de la gouvernance et peut aisement etre utilisee pour justifier les Mains Sales des dirigeants au nom de linteret superieur de la nation, meme dans les cas ou linteret personnel est la seule force motivationnelle pour les actions qui sapent les codes sociaux et ethiques ordinaires. Deuxiemement, larticle montre la faillite de la confiance publique dans le gouvernement et la faiblesse de lEtat renforce les politiques communautariennes sub-nationales qui tendent a etre fondees sur lethnie et exclusive, et par consequent, qui viole le cur de lethique publique, cest-a-dire limpartialite. Finalement, larticle suggere que les principes dethique universels pour les services publiques soient introduits en complement plutot quen concurrence avec les ethiques locales, socialement et culturellement limitee au prive. Cela requiere, dune part, que nous comprenions mieux la complexite historique, les circonstances economiques et sociales et les arrangements politiques transitionnels dans les pays africains. Dautre part, un nous devons investir dans une education ethique civique et professionnel reflexive qui adopte un point de vue nuance entre le realisme politique et lidealisme comme point de depart des reformes institutionnelles, aussi bien que modalite de changement des comportements a long terme.

Les facteurs de risque des maladies cardiovasculaires, telle, que la dtrioration du profil lipidique, deviennent plus prononcs aprs la mnopause, ce qui fait de la maladie coronarienne, lune des principales causes de dcs chez les femmes mnopauses. Une proportion importante de femmes prennent du poids aprs la mnopause en particulier dans la rgion abdominale entranant par consquent des perturbations mtaboliques. Des donnes rcentes suggrent galement que labsence des strognes observe la mnopause favorise le dveloppement de la statose hpatique. Cette dernire a t incrimine pour incrimine dans le dveloppement de la rsistance l'insuline, et est de ce fait considre comme une composante hpatique du syndrome mtabolique. Il est impratif d'tablir des stratgies visant contrecarrer l'accumulation de graisse dans le foie et laccroissement du tissu adipeux chez les femmes mnopauses, en tenant compte que l'utilisation de l'hormonothrapie substitutive est de nos jours moins soutenue. Les quatre tudes de la prsente thse ont t conduites pour tenter de fournir des informations sur le traitement et la prvention de laugmentation de la masse graisseuse et de la statose hpatique quentrane la suppression des strognes, travers les modifications du mode de vie (dite et exercice physique) chez la rate ovariectomize (Ovx); un modle animal de la mnopause. Dans les deux premires tudes nous nous sommes concentrs sur laugmentation de la masse graisseuse et sa reprise suite une perte de poids. Dans la premire tude, nous avons montr que les rates Ovx qui ont suivi un programme de restriction alimentaire (FR) ont diminu significativement (P < 0.01) leur poids corporel, leur contenu en graisses intra-abdominales ainsi que leurs triacylglycrols (TAG) hpatiques, comparativement aux rates Ovx nourries la dite normale. De plus, lentranement en rsistance (RT) a prvenu la reprise de poids corporel ainsi que laccroissement du tissu adipeux et laccumulation de lipides dans le foie des rates Ovx, aprs larrt du rgime amaigrissant. Les rsultats de la deuxime tude ont confirm l'efficacit de la restriction alimentaire associe lentranement en rsistance (FR + RT) dans la rduction du poids corporel, des lipides dans le foie et le tissu adipeux chez les rates Ovx. Tenant compte des rsultats de notre premire tude, lentranement en rsistance seulement a constitu un atout pour attnuer le poids corporel et la masse grasse reprise par les rates Ovx suite un programme de perte de poids (FR + RT); bien que l'impact ait t moindre compar au maintien seul de la restriction alimentaire. De la mme manire que la supplmentation en strognes, les rsultats de la troisime tude indiquent que l'entranement en endurance men concurremment avec lovariectomie a significativement attnu l'accumulation de lipides dans le foie ainsi que dans le tissu adipeux. Toutefois, lentranement en endurance effectu avant l'ovariectomie n'a pas protg contre l'accumulation des graisses quentrane l'ovariectomie, si celui-ci est interrompu aprs l'ovariectomie. Enfin, pour complter les rsultats antrieurs, nous avons montr dans la quatrime tude que lexpression des gnes impliqus dans la synthse de lipide; SREBP-1c, SCD-1, ChREBP, et ACC dans le foie a augment aprs le retrait des strognes, tandis quune diminution (P < 0.01) des niveaux d'ARNm de PPAR- a t observe. De plus, l'expression hpatique des gnes des cytokines pro-inflammatoires incluant IKK, IL-6 ainsi que le contenu protinique de NF-B taient augments (P < 0.01) chez les rates Ovx par rapport aux rates ayant subi une Ovx simule (Sham). Toutes ces perturbations ont t amliores avec la supplmentation en strognes seulement, ainsi qu'avec l'entranement en endurance seulement. Dans l'ensemble, nos rsultats indiquent que l'exercice physique (en rsistance ou en endurance) a un impact significatif sur la rduction de l'accumulation des lipides dans le foie et dans le tissu adipeux des rates Ovx. De plus, chez les rates Ovx, lentranement en endurance mimerait les effets des strognes sur l'expression des gnes impliqus dans l'accumulation de lipides et linflammation prclinique dans le foie.

Indian marine engineers are renowned for employment globally due to their knowledge, skill and reliability. This praiseworthy status has been achieved mainly due to the systematic training imparted to marine engineering cadets. However, in an era of advancing technology, marine engineering training has to remain dynamic to imbibe latest technology as well as to meet the demands of the shipping industry. New subjects of studies have to be included in the curriculum in a timely manner taking into consideration the industry requirements and best practices in shipping. Technical competence of marine engineers also has to be subjected to changes depending upon the needs of the ever growing and over regulated shipping industry. Besides. certain soft skills are to be developed and improved amongst the marine engineers in order to alter or amend the personality traits leading to their career success.If timely corrective action is taken. Indian marine engineers can be in still greater demand for employment in global maritime field. In order to enhance the employability of our mmine engineers by improving their quality, a study of marine engineers in general and class IV marine engineers in particular was conducted based on three distinct surveys, viz., survey among senior marine engineers, survey among employers of marine engineers and survey of class IV marine engineers themselves.The surveys have been planned and questionnaires have been designed to focus the study of marine engineer officer class IV from the point of view of the three distinct groups of maritime personnels. As a result of this, the strength and weakness of class IV marine engineers are identified with regard to their performance on board ships, acquisition of necessary technical skills. employability and career success. The criteria of essential qualities of a marine engineer are classified as academic, technical, social, psychological. physical, mental, emergency responsive, communicative and leadership, and have been assessed for a practicing marine engineer by statistical analysis of data collected from surveys. These are assessed for class IV marine engineers from the point of view of senior marine engineers and employers separately. The Endings are delineated and graphically depicted in this thesis.Besides. six pertinent personality traits of a marine engineer viz. self esteem. learning style. decision making. motivation. team work and listening self inventory have been subjected to study and their correlation with career success have been established wherever possible. This is carried out to develop a theoretical framework to understand what leads a marine engineer to his career attainment. This enables the author to estimate the personality strengths and weaknesses of a serving marine engineer and eventually to deduce possible corrective measures or modifications in marine engineering training in India.Maritime training is largely based on International Conventions on Standard of Training. Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers 1995. its associated Code and Merchant Shipping (STCW for Seafarers) Rules 1998. Further, Maritime Education, Training and Assessment (META) Manual was subjected to a critical scrutiny and relevant Endings of thc surveys arc superimposed on the existing rule requirement and curriculum. Views of senior marine engineers and executives of various shipping companies are taken into account before arriving at the revision of syllabus of marine engineering courses. Modifications in the pattern of workshop and sea service for graduate mechanical engineering trainees are recommended. Desirable age brackets of junior engineers and chief engineers. use of Training and Assessment Record book (TAR Book) during training etc. have also been evaluated.As a result of the pedagogic introspection of the existing system of marine engineering training in India. in this thesis, a revised pattern of workshop training of six months duration for graduate mechanical engineers. revised pattern of sea service training of one year duration and modified now diagram incorporating the above have been arrived at. Effects of various personality traits on career success have been established along with certain findings for improvement of desirable personality traits of marine engineers.

Water quality of rooftop-collected rainwater is an issue of increased interest particularly in developing countries where the collected water is used as a source of drinking water. Bacteriological and chemical parameters of 25 samples of rooftop-harvested rainwater stored in ferrocement tanks were analyzed in the study described in this article. Except for the pH and lower dissolved oxygen levels, all other physicochemical parameters were within World Health Organization guidelines. Bacteriological results revealed that the rooftop-harvested rainwater stored in tanks does not often meet the bacteriological quality standards prescribed for drinking water. Fifty percent of samples of harvested rainwater for rural and urban community use and 20% of the samples for individual household use showed the presence of E. coli. Fecal coliform/fecal streptococci ratios revealed nonhuman animal sources of fecal pollution. Risk assessment of bacterial isolates from the harvested rainwater showed high resistance to ampicillin, erythromycin, penicillin, and vancomycin. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) indexing of the isolates and elucidation of the resistance patterns revealed that 73% of the isolates exhibited MAR

El propsito de este estudio fue describir la Calidad de vida laboral (CVL) y el estilo de liderazgo percibido por el personal administrativo/asistencial de un centro oncolgico y estimar la asociacin entre ellas, considerando las caractersticas sociodemogrficas. Para ello se aplic el Cuestionario de Vida profesional [CVP-35] y el Test de Adjetivos de Pitcher [PAT]. En general, los participantes presentan una CVL satisfactoria, caracterizada principalmente por motivacin intrnseca, lo cual fue ms evidente en el personal asistencial. Respecto al liderazgo, se observ una percepcin de ausencia de liderazgo o caractersticas poco deseables de ste, lo cual aunque no determina la CVL, si constituye un factor modulador de la misma, las variables sociodemogrficas no guardaron relacin con la CVL. Por ltimo se resalta la responsabilidad social que tienen los directivos sobre bienestar de los trabajadores de la salud, y consecuentemente sobre la atencin al paciente. Se discuten estos hallazgos y lo pertinente de utilizar las categoras emergentes del PAT.
Predicting sense of community and participation by applying machine learning to open government data

Community capacity is used to monitor socio-economic development. It is composed of a number of dimensions, which can be measured to understand the possible issues in the implementation of a policy or the outcome of a project targeting a community. Measuring community capacity dimensions is usually expensive and time consuming, requiring locally organised surveys. Therefore, we investigate a technique to estimate them by applying the Random Forests algorithm on secondary open government data. This research focuses on the prediction of measures for two dimensions: sense of community and participation. The most important variables for this prediction were determined. The variables included in the datasets used to train the predictive models complied with two criteria: nationwide availability; sufficiently fine-grained geographic breakdown, i.e. neighbourhood level. The models explained 77% of the sense of community measures and 63% of participation. Due to the low geographic detail of the outcome measures available, further research is required to apply the predictive models to a neighbourhood level. The variables that were found to be more determinant for prediction were only partially in agreement with the factors that, according to the social science literature consulted, are the most influential for sense of community and participation. This finding should be further investigated from a social science perspective, in order to be understood in depth.

En el mbito organizacional es necesario interiorizar y aplicar conceptos que generen herramientas que hagan posible el adecuado funcionamiento de las empresas a efectos de generar mejores resultados, no slo en trminos monetarios sino tambin sociales y ticos. En la actualidad, el entendimiento de las situaciones, circunstancias y relaciones que se dan dentro de una empresa es un factor relevante para la implementacin de estrategias y tcnicas, en aras de aumentar la productividad y la eficiencia de las compaas. Es all donde empieza a tomar importancia la presencia de un lder en la compaa que acte como agente de cambio y sea considerado como un modelo a seguir capaz de enfrentar situaciones emergentes, tanto positivas como negativas y as generar un cambio, deseos de mejora, propuestas inspiradoras e innovadoras. Lo anterior con el fin de proponer nuevas estrategias que beneficien a todos los involucrados, para as lograr los objetivos proyectados, evitando al mximo los posibles riesgos en que se pueda incurrir. A lo largo de la revisin terica se tratar el modelo del liderazgo de rango total como un tipo de liderazgo donde el lder es capaz de moldear los puntos de vista, las percepciones, las actitudes y las creencias de los seguidores. Lo anterior sin dejar a un lado los dems estilos de liderazgo que componen el modelo de liderazgo de rango total, el cual puede ser considerado e incluido como una variable interesante en la realizacin de estudios para analizar la existencia de la relacin entre el estilo de liderazgo y los resultados organizacionales.

El inters de esta investigacin es analizar las implicaciones de la formalizacin de las Madres Comunitarias en el desarrollo e implementacin del programa de Hogares Comunitarios de Bienestar del ICBF. Se analiza y se explica cmo La formalizacin de las Madres Comunitarias hace que el programa de Hogares Comunitarios de Bienestar sufra un proceso de burocratizacin en dos vas donde se privilegian por un lado la tecnificacin y profesionalizacin de las madres comunitarias y por otro el manejo del trabajo social por organizaciones y asociaciones, el cual comienza a desplazar el plano comunitario voluntario (familias y vecinos) a un plano institucional de carcter obligatorio, lo que tiende a cambiar la esencia del programa. Para desarrollar esta investigacin se tomara como referente terico el concepto de burocratizacin de Max Weber desde las tendencias de la racionalizacin y la societarizacin

Compensatory population dynamics among species stabilise aggregate community variables. Inter-specific competition is thought to be stabilising as it promotes asynchrony among populations. However, we know little about other inter-specific interactions, such as facilitation and granivory. Such interactions are also likely to influence population synchrony and community stability, especially in harsh environments where they are thought to have relatively strong effects in plant communities. We use a manipulative experiment to test the effects of granivores (harvester ants) and nurse plants (dwarf shrubs) on annual plant community dynamics in the Negev desert, Israel. We present evidence for weak and inconsistent effects of harvester ants on plant abundance and on population and community stability. By contrast, we show that annual communities under shrubs were more species rich, had higher plant density and were temporally less variable than communities in the inter-shrub matrix. Species richness and plant abundance were also more resistant to drought in the shrub under-storey compared with the inter-shrub matrix, although population dynamics in both patch types were synchronised. Hence, we show that inter-specific interactions other than competition affect community stability, and that hypothesised mechanisms linking compensatory dynamics and community stability may not operate to the same extent in arid plant communities.

Calcareous grasslands are an important habitat for floral and faunal communities in the UK and Europe. Declines due to changes in management, scrub invasion and agricultural improvement have left much of the remnants of this habitat in a degraded and fragmented state. Grazing, by cattle or sheep, is one of the main management practices used to maintain and improve the floral and faunal quality of calcareous grassland. The long-term impacts of different grazing regimes, however, are poorly understood, particularly in terms of the invertebrate communities. This study contrasted the impacts of recently introduced and long-term sheep or cattle grazing on beetle communities present on one of the largest areas of calcareous grassland in Europe, the Salisbury Plain military training Area, UK. No effects of grazing management on beetle abundance, species. richness or evenness were found, but plant diversity and overall percentage cover of grasses did influence beetle diversity. Proportions of the total number of individuals and overall species richness within beetle guilds (predatory, phytophagous, flower/seed feeders, root feeders and foliage feeders) were strongly influenced by both the duration and type of grazing animal. At the species level, beetle community structure showed significant differences between ungrazed, long-term cattle and long-term sheep grazing treatments. Changes in plant community structure were found to influence beetle community structure. The significance of these results is discussed in terms of the long-term impacts of grazing on beetle community structure, and the benefits of different grazing regimes for the conservation management of calcareous grasslands.

We investigated patterns of bryophyte species richness and community structure, and their relation to roof variables, on thatched roofs of the Holnicote Estate, South Somerset. Thirty-two bryophyte species were recorded from 28 sampled roofs, including the globally rare and endangered thatch moss, Leptodontium gemmascens. Multiple regression analyses revealed that thatch age has a highly significant positive effect on the number of species present, accounting for nearly half the observed variation in species richness after removal of outliers. Aspect has a slight and marginally significant effect on species diversity (accounting for an additional 6% of variation), with north-facing samples having slightly more species. Age also has a significant impact on total bryophyte cover after removal of outlying observations. TWINSPAN analysis of bryophyte cover data suggests the existence of at least five discrete communities. Simple Discriminant Analyses indicate that these communities occupy different ecological subspaces as defined by the measured roof variables, with pitch, aspect and thatch age emerging as especially significant attributes. Contingency Analysis indicates that some communities are disfavoured by water reed as compared to wheat straw. The findings are significant for understanding the structure of bryophyte communities, for evaluating the effect of bryophyte cover on thatch performance, and for conservation of thatch communities, especially those harbouring rare species.
