La puissance douce française manifestée par les politiques linguistiques en Afrique
No full textDu premier étape des colonisateurs français sur la terre africaine jusqu’à le français étant l’une des langues primaires en Afrique, les français avait eu une influence en Afrique. Pour comprendre comment les politiques linguistiques agissent comme une passerelle de l\u27implémentation de la puissance douce française en Afrique, nous explorons les politiques linguistiques et systèmes d’éducation en Côte d’Ivoire, au Sénégal, et au Burkina Faso. La littérature décrit comment le français est la langue d\u27administration dans ces trois pays, donc il est valorisé sur les langues locales. La présence intense du français permet à la France d’employer la puissance douce en Afrique pour continuer son influence dans ces trois sociétés, qui peut être étendue au reste du monde africain. Nous trouvons que les instances les plus répandus de la puissance douce française inclurent l’industrie de la musique et les programmes d’éducation français. Ces constatations sont suivies par la réponse présente des francophones africains de cet influence français. Pourtant, l’étude montre la feuille de route pour la contrôle française en Afrique entre le temps de la colonisation et aujourd’hui
Measuring the Paris Agreement’s Impact on Wind Energy Usage in Member Countries
Get PDFThis review examines the impact of the Paris Agreement\u27s implementation on the development of wind energy across three regions, the European Union (EU), Brazil, and Saudi Arabia. These selected regions respectively represent developed, developing, and OPEC member countries. The Paris Agreement aimed to limit the global warming temperature 1.5 C by 2030, encouraging actors to transition their energy into cleaner, renewable sources. Wind energy thus emerged as a tool in the decarbonization efforts of the agreement. This review compares wind energy growth before and after the Paris Agreement\u27s establishment, through analyzing each region\u27s strategies in response to their differing economic contexts

A Letter to Governor Newsom and the California State Legislature on the Loneliness Epidemic and How to Confront It
Get PDFWe are experiencing an epidemic of loneliness in the United States, with our youth and elderly being the most affected populations. The best solution for loneliness is relational connection. While loneliness is subjective and will never be eradicated, the most serious consequences can be reduced significantly. The approach here focuses on determining what constitutes a healthy, close relationship and how to go about promoting that in order to improve overall relational health in the community. The policy options assessed include increased counseling and therapy, community building events such as neighborhood gatherings, teaching conflict resolution and communication skills, providing “Gateway Services” such as transportation and technology, and increased involvement of the medical community through assessments and referrals. This article finds that for youth, teaching conflict resolution and communication skills would be the most effective option to address loneliness, while community events would be most effective for the elderly. Funding from state and federal programs should support these programs
