3.4. Critiques and contestation ProSAVANA has sparked much controversy between civil society and governments. With a view to further illustrating the lack of novelty of Brazil’s SSDC approach, this section will examine more closely some of the most common critiques facing the programme. One of the most contested aspects is the pool of solutions proposed to address Mozambique’s malaises. Civil society actors stress that the programme’s focus on raising agricultural efficiency by means of increased use of modern agricultural technology might not be the best strategy (Chichava & Duran 2016) to tackle the numerous constraints hindering the development of the sector, which include structural issues related to the legacy of civil war and weak …show more content…
Such disconnect between the claims made by ProSAVANA to its investors and the reality of the situation gave rise to fears that it might carry a tremendous social impact, and could lead to land grabbing. Overall, as the data demonstrates, Brazil’s South–South development model operationalised in ProSAVANA is severely lacking in innovation and sensitivity for local concerns. Overall, the programme is embedded in a retroliberal understanding of development that exhumes elements of the modernisation theory, which sees ‘growth’ as a natural precursor of ‘development’ and assumes a confluence of interests among all parties involved. Surely, the strengthened role of the private sector in development initiatives may indeed lead to upgrades in ‘headline’ growth figures in Mozambique. However, as the existing literature indicates, the major beneficiaries of such strategies tend to be business elites, whereas the outcomes for ordinary taxpayers, workers and citizens are not only much less guaranteed but also sometimes detrimental (ActionAid 2014). Therefore, a chief concern is that such ideals envisioned by ProSAVANA will exclude the overwhelming majority of the Mozambican population from the benefits of development. 3.5. ProSAVANA as an instantiation of retroliberalism and the Southern dominance ‘from above’ As evidenced by the aforementioned discourse-praxis gaps, Brazil’s South–South experiment is aligned with the
Years ago, a man was crucified for saying he was God’s Son. His name was Jesus Christ. Those who followed his teachings were named Christians; and Christians soon resented Jews for their sinful act. This tension between Christians and Jews lead to increasing hatred for one another. Not too long ago, anti-Semitism was common. Anti-Semitism led to the death of an entire population during the Holocaust. Luckily, the church has taken measures to rectify this anti-semitism with the publication of Nostra Aetate. In 1965, the Vatican II Council completely transformed the church’s policies and theology with this document. Nostra Aetate signifies “In Our Time.” Indeed, in our time, the ill sentiments towards Jews have changed tremendously. Nostra
In her novel La Linea, Ann Jaramillo tells the story of fifteen-year-old Miguel, who leaves his home in Mexico to illegally cross the US-Mexican border. He leaves for California, where his parents and two of his sisters have lived for the past seven years. His parents left first, in order to make money for their children to cross la linea later. Miguel and his younger sister Elena thus live with their grandmother on a rancho in the small Mexican village San Jacinto. On his fifteenth birthday, Miguel receives the letter he has waited for his entire life. A letter from his father tells him to go see Don Clemente, a rich and successful immigrant smuggler. Don Clemente provides Miguel with
This paper explores the practice of the APRNs autonomy in the state of Georgia and compares it with other states. Also to advocate for policy recommendations of the APRNs scope of practice that are needed to improve the healthcare in the state of Georgia. APRNs are registered nurses that provide continuous care and treatment in many different areas, such as pediatrics, primary care, acute care, maternity, mental health and chronic disease management. APRNs also have advanced education, training, and national certification in specific areas of practice. Even with the changing and expanding of healthcare, APRNs continue to face challenges in practicing to the full extent of
The Philae mission caused an enormous effect in scientific research In November of 2014. The Philae lander is a miniature probe that was dropped from the Rosetta spacecraft on to a comet to help scientists research the many wonders of comets. The Philae mission was crucial for scientific research because this mission helped scientists figure out and understand more about the early history of our solar system and they were able to take many comet samples.
Many support agricultural modernization, as a solution Africa’s, and many other impoverished nations hunger problems. This would include the industrialization of their agricultural industry, using modern, genetically enhanced seeds, and fertilizer. Yet, some of the same groups that are promoting the organic movement in the United States are advocating against the globalization of modern industrial agricultural practices (Paarlberg 179). Those who support modernization of such nations argue that the current process in inefficient, and inadequate. They believe that globalization of the highly capitalized, science-intensive, agricultural system that has been developed in the West, is the answer to the worlds hunger problems. They also warn that if the West abandons its current practices, it may fall victim to famine due to inadequate production (Paarlberg 179). However, supporters of organic production point to the fact that each year, approximately ten million tons of chemical fertilizer are poured onto our corn
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) was enacted in 1986 as a part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. EMTALA was enacted to prevent hospitals with Emergency Departments from refusing to treat or transferring patients with emergency medical conditions (EMC) due to an inability to pay for their services. This act also applies to satellite locations whom advertise titles such as “Immediate Care” or “Urgent Care,” and all other facilities where one-third of their patient intake are walk-ins. Several rules and regulations to this act have been established and it has become a very serious piece of legislation and health
It all began in and around the year 1919. Sula Peace, the daughter of Rekus who died when she was 3years old and Hannah, was a young and lonely girl of wild dreams. Sula was born in the same year as Nel, 1910. Sula was a heavy brown color and had large eyes with a birthmark that resembled a stemmed rose to some and many varied things to others. Nel Wright, the daughter of Helene and Wiley, was and unimaginative girl living in a very strict and manipulated life. Nel was lighter in color than Sula and could have passed for white if she had been a few shades lighter she. A trip to visit her dying great-grandmother in the south had a profound effect on Nel’s life. In many ways the trip made her realize her selfness and look at things

I chose to write about the short story "A&P." The story takes place in a small town in the late 60's, in a vacation town of sorts with a general store, few residents. What I received from the setting, was a very low maintenance town where "everybody knows everybody" (very tight community) most likely old school beliefs and structures (religion, dress code, ethics, morals, ext strict) and for a short time tourists come to live for a while, and in a sense shake up the foundation of the town a bit with their outside beliefs and values.
When you watch commercials depicting starvation in African countries like Mali, do you wonder what it would actually take to end hunger? Plenty of answers appear successful in concept, but have unforeseen complications, such as building factories in Africa to produce and process biofuels. And other obstacles such as civil wars, poor sanitation, and massive debt keep countries like Democratic Republic of the Congo from advancing. Maybe we complicate the solution to the hunger crisis by focusing on economy instead of food sustainability. Before a country can advance economically and technologically, it has to be able to feed its inhabitants. Therefore, by altering the crops currently grown in the African savannas to create agricultural sustainability, it will diminish hunger, and lead to economic growth.
The following offers an analysis of both sides of this subject as well as an analysis of how this issue affects Brazilian society.
Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a fluorescent protein found in jellyfish that causes organisms to fluoresce. This protein was the first fluorescent protein to be discovered and has been highly useful in a broad range of cell biology disciplines; because of it’s highly useful reporter genes and the ability to use multicolor protein tracking in living cells it has been useful in many scientific experiments such as E. Coli transformations. There have been many other fluorescent proteins that have been cloned from a wide variety of marine invertebrates, therefore making GFP not the only standing fluorescent protein present. (Shaner 2014). The scientific uses of GFP have included

The primary question that Brazil faces as it moves into the 21st century is whether the Brazilian style of capitalism, which harnessed their economy towards growth as a developing economy, is sufficient to drive them as a developed country. Averaging 3.8% GDP growth over the last decade, this transition seems inevitable; Brazil has shifted from an agricultural giant to a country in which 90% of the population works in the industrial and service sectors. However, as they make this conversion, they must examine their economic policies to ensure that they are still applicable and advantageous. For example, Brazil must keep promoting their industrial policies. Brazil may fall back into a commodity-driven economy if raw
n criminal law, the mens rea refers to the defendant's state of mind at the time of their crime and there are several levels reflecting the need to have a particular mens rea for the offence committed. For example, in murder or a S:18 offence in the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, the mens rea present must be that of specific intent, which is where the defendant desired that particular outcome of their actions. However, it was held in R v Cunningham 1982, that the intention to cause serious harm was enough to satisfy the mens rea for murder. This shows that, where murder cases are concerned, that it is relatively easy to prove the required mens rea and in doing so the concept of fault is often satisfied. This is once again shown in oblique
