Putting livelihoods thinking into practice: implications for development management.
YesThe failure of `blueprint¿ development interventions to deliver substantive improvements in poverty reduction has been well recognised over the last twenty years. Process approaches seek to overcome the rigidity and top-down operation of much aid-funded intervention. Sustainable livelihoods approaches (SLA) are one of the latest additions to this family of approaches. As a theoretical framework and as a set of principles for guiding intervention, sustainable livelihoods thinking has implications for development management. Drawing on research exploring the application of sustainable livelihoods principles in ten development interventions, this paper considers how these principles have evolved from continuing debates surrounding process and people-centred (bottom-up) approaches to development management. This research suggests that whilst these principles can improve the impact made by interventions, the effective application of sustainable livelihoods and other process approaches are fundamentally restricted by unbalanced power relationships between development partners
Quantitative studies for photoabsorption and fluorescence of HCl
Photoabsorption and fluorescence cross sections of HCl are investigated in the wavelength region between 105 to 220 nm. The oscillator strengths of discrete structures at wavelengths shorter than 130 nm are measured

Sustainable Livelihoods Approaches - Can they transform development?
yesThis paper critically examines the sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA) in the context of broader development debates, using a literature review as a tool to explore the origins, concepts and uses of the `approach¿. Whilst the concept of sustainable livelihoods is valuable in advancing our understanding the complexity and embedded nature of people¿s lives, sustainable livelihoods frameworks and principles are too simplistic to offer many answers. This paper argues that the idea of net sustainable livelihoods has much to offer the current discourse on rights and governance but that this is in danger of being diluted by its conceptualisation as a new `approach¿ to managing development interventions

How does it make a difference? Towards 'accreditation' of the development impact of volunteer tourism.
yesWhilst some argue that volunteer tourism is nothing more than neo-colonialism, we propose that it can (under certain conditions) make a positive contribution to local communities in developing countries and can also contribute to a ¿globalising, humanising civil society¿. We also argue that an increase in volunteer tourism is likely to be an unstoppable trend as international travel and easy global communication make ¿Do-it-Yourself¿ development activities ever more possible. In this chapter, we consider further the conditions required for volunteers to have a positive rather than a negative or neutral impact
A New Embedded Measurement Structure for eDRAM Capacitor
Submitted on behalf of EDAA (http://www.edaa.com/)International audienceThe embedded DRAM (eDRAM) is more and more used in System On Chip (SOC). The integration of the DRAM capacitor process into a logic process is challenging to get satisfactory yields. The specific process of DRAM capacitor and the low capacitance value (~30F) of this device induce problems of process monitoring and failure analysis. We propose a new test structure to measure the capacitance value of each DRAM cell capacitor in a DRAM array. This concept has been validated by simulation on a 0.18µm eDRAM technology
Extractive Separation of Rhenium by Complexation with Hexamine
88-90Rhenium(VII) has been separated from molybdenum(VI) and other metal ions by complexation with hexamine in hydrochloric acid solution in the presence of a reductant, extracting the complex thus formed into tribenzylamine-chloroform. The method is free from the interference from Mo(VI), W(VI), U(VI), Cr(III, VI), V(V), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Pd(II)
