Praying and Campaigning with Environmental Christians: Green Religion and the Climate Movement
No full text[Introduction] This book presents an ethnographic study of environmental Christian networks involved in the climate and transition towns movements. Maria Nita examines the ways in which green Christians engage with their communities and networks, as well as other activist networks in the broader green movement. The book interrogates key categories in the field of religious studies which intersect activist concerns, including spirituality, community, and ritual. In this sociological exploration the author uses existing research tools, such as discourse analysis, and proposes new theoretical models for the investigation of network expansion, religious identity, and relationality through ritual. Nita examines the mechanisms underlying the greening of religion and thus offers an in-depth analysis of prayers, rituals, and religious practices, such as praying through painting, fasting for the planet, and sharing the green Eucharist in or with nature
O que aprendi com Paulo e Nita Freire
Full text linkResumo A Introdução deste pequeno ensaio descreve o encontro pessoal de seu Autor com Paulo Freire, primeiro como um jovem militante Católico e mais tarde como um estudante adulto em busca de um tema para sua tese de doutorado. O Autor se tornou amigo de Freire e de sua família e, em especial, de sua segunda esposa Nita. O ensaio sugere três áreas nas quais as idéias de Freire oferecem uma importante contribuição para os estudos da comunicação e da cultura: a teoria da comunicação dialógica; o potencial analítico de conceitos como “cultura do silêncio” e o conceito de direito à comunicação.

The author became a friend of Freire and his family, especially of his second wife Nita.

Full text linkMarek Nita presents the development of the paper and cellulose industry in the years
1950—1955. He estimates the losses that this branch of economy suffered during the

conditions of the so called „real socialism”. The author, laying bare the shortcomings
of the six year plan in the Communist Poland as regards the paper and cellulose
industry, draws our attention also to the great importance of the paper industry for the

Full text linkAda beberapa tujuan penelitian ini diantaranya (1) mengetahui kondisi objektif
kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan anak, (2) mengetahui langkah-langkah
penerapan media papan display yang dimodifikasi untuk meningkatkan
kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan anak, (3) mengetahui peningkatan
kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan anak di TK Tambatan Hati kelompok A di
kecamatan Cikajang kabupaten Garut setelah menggunakan papan display yang
dimodifikasi. Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh pentingnya kemampuan
mengenal konsep bilangan yang sangat diperlukan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari,
khususnya konsep bilangan sebagai dasar dari pengembangan kemampuan
matematika. Permasalahan yang terjadi di TK Tambatan Hati menunjukan bahwa
metode pengambangan kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan masih

kurangnya media yang digunakan oleh guru untuk menunjang pembelajaran
kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan, sehingga perlu suatu upaya perbaikan
pembelajaran mengenal konsep bilangan anak. Metode yang digunakan adalah
penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK). Pelaksanaan penelitian tindakan kelas ini terdiri
dari tiga siklus. Setiap siklus diberikan dua kali tindakan dengan menggunakan
indikator yang berbeda. Setiap siklus diharapkan menunjukan hasil peningkatan
kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan anak. Deskripsi hasil penelitian sebelum
diberikan tindakan kemampuan mengenal konsep bilangan anak dari 15 anak

Devaluation in low-inflation economies
Full text linkIn the current period of devaluation pessimism, devaluation is often seen as an instrument to accommodate inflation instead of one to change the real exchange rate and support external balance. The authors argue that such pessimism has in some cases gone too far. The real exchange rate is an endogenous variable, and whether devaluation can change the real exchange rate depends on other factors. But devaluation is not always evil, say the authors, and in some cases it can improve macroeconomic performance. It is most effective if it corrects an initial situation where the currency is clearly overvalued. In low-inflation countries, devaluation is less likely to destabilize prices because there is less indexing. The authors examine the effect of maxi-devaluation in low-inflation countries on the real exchange rate, inflation, and growth. They use a sample of 33 maxi-devaluations (20 percent or larger) in economies that had low inflation before the devaluation and where the exchange rate had remained fixed for at least three years before the devaluation. Not surprisingly, most of these episodes occurred in the 1950s and 1960s, when fixed exchange rates and inflation were the norm. The results indicate room for devaluation optimism. The authors find that devaluation is more effective in low-inflation economies where devaluation is a sporadic event - typically, effecting a real depreciation twice as large as that in inflationary economies. In low-inflation countries, a 50-percent devaluation typically succeeds in depreciating the real exchange rate by about 30 percent in the long run, without leading to a permanent increase in inflation. The authors also find that growth and exports increase after devaluation. Other findings include the following. Countries determined to maintain price stability after devaluation can do so. In countries with low inflation that have not devalued for three years, a maxi-devaluation is not likely to move the economy into high inflation. Under most of the most likely scenarios, inflation will increase around 3 percentage points (or 35 percent of the original rate of inflation). Under the best scenarios, there is an increase in inflation the year before and the year of devaluation, but inflation then falls to a level slightly higher than the level before devaluation. Devaluation has a favorable impact on exports. The shift to a more flexible exchange-rate regime was not associated with complete loss of control of inflation. In most cases, inflation went up slightly - and in only a few cases (Ecuador, Israel, Mexico, and Zaire) dramatically.But the movement toward greater exchange-rate flexibility was not associated with complete loss of control of inflation. In Pakistan and Rwanda, inflation fell, and in most countries it averaged less than 20 percent.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Stabilization,Economic Theory&Research,Macroeconomic Management,Fiscal&Monetary Policy
