Influence of Monitoring and Evaluation Practices on Performance of Tobacco Contract Farming Projects in Katavi Region, Tanzania.
No full textMonitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is an inevitable intervention tool used in assessing the project’s appropriate use of limited resources, transparency, accountability, value for money and improved services to the beneficiaries. This study aimed at investigating the influence of monitoring and evaluation practices on performance of tobacco contract farming projects in Katavi region. Specifically it sought to: determine the effect of M&E human resource capacity; establish the effect of M&E technical expertise; and determine the effect of stakeholder involvement in M&E processes team on performance of tobacco contract farming projects. This study employed a cross-sectional survey strategy with explanatory research design. SPSS was used to analyze data from sample size of 132 respondents obtained through simple random sampling. Descriptive and Inferential analysis was used. However, the results indicate that M&E human resource capacity, and M&E technical expertise have no significant and positive effect on performance of tobacco contract farming projects. On the other hand, results revealed that stakeholder involvement in M&E processes team has a significant and positive effect on performance of tobacco contract farming projects. It is recommended that in collaboration with TCDC, AMCOS should establish the recruitment policy with a provision of M&E formal education and establish M&E department enriched with physical, human, financial resources and information & communication technology (ICT). They should also design project M&E implementation plan framework, coupled with training and inclusion policy that will enhance effective stakeholder involvement, while embracing results-based management and participatory M&E.

Ueber und aus Reden von zwei syrischen Kirchenvätern über das Leiden Jesu
No full textIn the two articles reprinted here from the Theologische Quartalschrift, nos. 52 (1870) and 53 (1871), Pius Zingerle surveys, in German, two cycles of poems on Jesus’ suffering and death: six poems from Isaac of Antioch and eight from Jacob of Sarug. His aim is to look at how two different Syriac authors expound the same theme, in this case, the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion. Zingerle first gives a synopsis of the fourteen poems and then gives selections from them in German with brief commentary. The themes touched on include Jesus’ fulfilling of Old Testament texts, symbolism between Jesus’ actions and other biblical narratives, the Sacraments, the thieves beside Jesus at the crucifixion, virginity, the disciples’ flight at Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter’s denial, Jesus’ time in the grave as the fulfillment of the Old Testament Sabbath and the inauguration of the new creation, and the fact that Jesus really did suffer (against Docetism, etc.). This early survey of these two important Syriac authors remains valuable for its presentation of how Syriac writers interact with and preach Scripture.Reprinted from the Theologische Quartalschrift, nos. 52 (1870) and 53 (1871

Papież Pius XII wobec Szoah. Artykuł sprawozdawczy
No full textCzy Pius XII jest winny lub współwinny zagłady Żydów w czasie II wojny światowej? Odpowiedź Żydów – świadków, którzy przeżyli Shoah, jest jednomyślna: nikomu tyle nie zawdzięczają, ile temu papieżowi. Sztuka teatralna „Namiestnik” z 1963 r. radykalnie zmieniła tę opinię na niekorzyść papieża: został uznany (głównym) winowajcą zagłady. Ekspozycja przygotowana w Muzeum Męczeństwa Yad Vashem w Jerozolimie w 2005 r. sformułowała winę papieża Piusa XII w siedmiu oskarżeniach-zarzutach: 1. zawarł konkordat z Hitlerem; 2. nie ogłosił antyrasistowskiej encykliki przygotowanej przez Piusa XI; 3. nie reagował protestem na relacje o postępującej zagładzie; 4. uchylił się od podpisania deklaracji aliantów w 1942 r. potępiającej eksterminację; 5. nie ochronił Żydów rzymskich; 6. zachowywał neutralność; 7. milczał wobec ludobójstwa. Autor usiłuje wykazać niesłuszność tych zarzutów.Is Pope Pius XII an accomplice or responsible for the extinction of the Jews during the World War II? The answer of the Jews - the witnesses who survived the Shoah are unanimous: they are grateful only to this Pope. The performance called The Deputy changed radically that opinion to the Pope's disadvantage. He is supposed to be the (main) culprit of the extinction. An exposition prepared in 2005 in The Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem raised seven objections to the Pope Pius XII: 1. He made a concordat with Hitler, 2. He missed publishing the encyclical prepared by his predecessor Pius XI, 3. He didn't protest against the information about the progressive extinction, 4. He didn't sign the allies declaration condemning the extinction from 1942, 5. He didn't protect the Roman Jews; 6. He kept the neutrality, 7. He was silent against the genocide. The author of the article tries to prove that that objections are wrong. War der Papst Pius XII. mitschuldig an der Vernichtung der Juden im Laufe des Zweiten Weltkrieges? Die Antwort der Juden - Zeugen, die die Shoah überlebt haben, ist einstimmig: niemand verdanken sie so viel, wie diesem Papst. Das Theaterstück "Stelvertreter" aus dem Jahre 1963 radikal veränderte diese Sicht zu Ungunsten des Papstes: er sei der (größte) Schuldige an der Vernichtung. Eine 2005 im Museum des Martyriums in Yad Vashem vorbereitete Ausstellung formulierte die Schuld des Papstes Pius XII. in sieben Vorwürfen: 1. Er schloss das Konkordat mit Hitler, 2. Er veröffentlichte nicht eine durch Pius XI. vorbereitete Enzyklika, 3. Er reagierte mit keinem Protest auf die Nachrichten über die forrtschreitende Vernichtung, 4. Er weigerte sich, die 1942 veröffentlichte und die Exterminierung verurteilende Deklaration der Allierten zu unterschreiben, 5. Er beschützte nicht die römischen Juden, 6. Er bewahrte die Neutralität, 7. Er schwieg angesichts des Genocides. Der Autor dieses Artikels versucht, die Grundlosigkeit dieser Vorwürfe zu beweisen.
Pius XII. und die Geistlichen im KZ Dachau
No full textThe article publishes—for the first time—a letter written in December 1942 in the Sedelhof, Emmenbrücke, near Lucerne, concerning the incarcerated priests in the Dachau concentration camp. Its author is the German refugee Walter Ferber (1907-1996) and its recipient the Apostolic Nuncio in Switzerland, Filippo Bernardini (1884-1954). Bernardini forwards the letter to the Vatican Secretary of State, Luigi Maglione (1877-1944). Maglione’s reply to Bernardini shows that the Vatican knew about the crimes committed in concentration camps since at least December 1942, and explains the lack of public intervention by Pope Pius XII concerning the incarcerated priests in Dachau and, in part, the Nazi extermination policy in general. Despite this lack of public intervention, Pope Pius XII uses the term “the holocaust” (l'olocausto) already in his Christmas message of December 24, 1942

E-construction: in relation of implementation in local authorities / Romuald Kuha Pius Kuha
No full textConstruction is the most important industry that contributes towards the development of our nation. Physically all the effort should be provided in order to cater for the best quality of buildings being constructed. Construction plays a big role as the measurement of the growth and modernisation of the nation. However, construction doesn’t only involve on the matter of bricks and concretes. There are aspects in the construction we have not overview in details. The laymen would say construction is a rough industry when people standing in the middle of the construction field doing their job. As the world approach to the era of globalisation, every things changes and evolving in order to “survive”. And as time passes, constructions industry is still left behind due to the mindset as mentioned above. Bring the computer technology is the approach towards creating and enhancing the industry to a new platform. The question will arise to what extend will the industry uses the technology? Thinking of what to come and to expect of the industry in the near future, the most intruding word is e-construction. Over the years, all sort of “e” or electronic phases had been spreading around to introduce the new technology of electronic based application. We are quite familiar with the phases e-banking as it is practised in the financial businesses. How about e-construction? Being in one of “the citizen” in the constructions industry’s community, the idea of understanding more and gain view of knowledge about e-constructions was the first initiatives in developing the research. Along the way, the author try to focus on the area which e-construction have strong base of development, the author directed the study to the main player of the industry- Local Authorities. Regardless to the still new and young on information upon the topic, the dissertation intended to reveal the current scenarios of e-construction implementation in the local authorities. Giving information based on the author direction in seeing findings on the effectiveness of ICT application, the research came up with the result of ICT application on their daily tasks in Local Authority and view the planning and steps taking towards the vision of computerisation era
