Risk management for drinking water supplies in developing countries :the influence of culture on water safety plans
Get PDFConsumption of unsafe water in developing countries results in considerable number of
illnesses and deaths annually. The World Health Organization and the International
Water Association are promoting the use of water safety plans (WSPs), a risk
management approach aimed at attaining water safety. This study investigated how
culture impacts on the implementation of WSPs in these countries. Combining
interpretive and critical paradigms resulted in the choice of qualitative methodologies
utilizing multiple-case studies. Cases from India, Uganda, and Jamaica are each
embedded with three units of analysis: promoters of WSPs, water utilities and their
customers. Thematic analysis of data generated from semi-structured interviews, field
observations and documents revealed eleven cultural factors impacting on the
implementation of WSPs. Analyses of these factors led to various groupings and the
subsequent development of a taxonomy categorizing these factors as being either
enabling, limiting, or neutral in relation to WSPs. Findings show all the limiting factors
to be deviations from the values and principles on which they are built. The findings
have also led to the development of a culturally adapted risk management framework.
This four-step cyclical & iterative framework is designed to address the impact of
culture on the implementation of WSPs. The implementation of WSPs will take time
and will require continuous improvement to the process. The successful management of
drinking water risks in developing countries will require a broad institutional approach
and a concerted effort that involves institutions beyond the water utilities. As such,
targeted recommendations are first made towards achievement of good governance.
Activities that will lead to the embracement of WSP by stakeholders along with
suggestions to attain its institutionalization are also put forward. Recommendations
towards addressing negative cultural factors include suggestions on dealing with:
pollution causing rituals, bettering storage related practices, addressing excessive water
use in rituals, counteracting belief that water should be free, fighting corruption and
improving compliance, changing deliver-first safety-later attitude, and improving
knowledge management practices

Ghayat al-amani and the life and times of al-Hadi Yahya b. al-Husayn: an introduction, newly edited text and translation with detailed annotation
Get PDFThe thesis is anchored upon a text extracted from an important 11th / 17th century Yemeni historical work. This text deals primarily with al-Hādī ilā 'I-Haqq, the founder of the Zaydī Imamate in the Yemen that lasted well over a thousand years. AI-Hādīs imamate, of considerable significance in itself, also coincides with one of the most turbulent periods of early Yemeni mediaeval history. The- edited Arabic text, with its accompanying apparatus criticus. Is to be found at the opposite end of this volume. The Introduction considers various aspects of Imam al-Hadī’s life, religious ideas and aspirations and matters directly connected with the edited text and the work of which it forms a part. Among the most important subjects discussed are the MSS used in the production of the edited text, the problem concerning the authorship of Ghāyat al-amānī and the relationship of the latter work to Anbā' al-zaman. A short biography of al-Hādī is provided, together with a treatment of the historical background to ai-Hādīs imamate. The introduction also describes the editorial method followed with regard to the text, and certain key personal names and toponyms are dealt with there. The method employed by the author of the Ghāyat is to record the events of any one year by Itself. I have translated one year at a time and then followed it by the annotations appertaining to it. It is hoped that by means of these annotations. (some of which through necessity are quite detailed ), the text will be better understood. The numerous personages, tribal names and toponyms are considered, as well as problems concerning points of chronology and various matters of historical and religious significance. Specific comment is made upon certain interesting terms or any unusual or striking vocabulary. The thesis concludes with maps, genealogical tables and a comprehensive bibliography
Performativ poesi. Ein studie av identitet og identitetskonflikt i YAHYA HASSAN og YAHYA HASSAN 2
No full textIn this master thesis, I have examined the thematisation of identity and identity conflict in the two poetry anthologies YAHYA HASSAN and YAHYA HASSAN 2. Yahya Hassan wrote autobiographical poems, and thus his work became a way to explore his own identity in poetic form. The theoretical basis supporting my literary analysis has been Jon Helt Haarders’concept of performative biographism and sociological identity theory. Through analysing a selection of poems, I have achieved a more in-depth interpretation of how the many voices of the lyrical subject present in the anthologies reveal themselves. The many subject-voices are also in conflict with one another. Following this, I have chosento focus on two identity markers that I argue are particularly oppositional. The gangster is situated on one side and the author on the other. An additional objective has been to point out features within the anthologies and the phenomenon Yahya Hassan. Using genre theory as a methodological approach, this project aspires to contribute and further develop the theoretical perspective of performative biographism to encompass performative poetry. In this thesis, I have examined how Yahya Hassan uses autobiographical material in his poems and how YAHYA HASSAN and YAHYA HASSAN2consequently becomes performative poetry
The Potter's Marks of Tepe Yahya
No full textThis article discusses a group of nearly 400 potter's marks from the site of Tepe Yahya in Kerman province, southern Iran. The potter's marks have been typologically classified, and their distribution by period and phase is shown in a series of tables. The function of these signs is only briefly discussed, while greater attention is given to correspondences between the potter's marks of the Indo-Iranian borderlands and both the Proto-Elamite and Harappan scripts. Hypotheses concerning the possibility of a relationship between Proto-Elamite and Harappan are discussed in light of these correspondences.L'article porte sur l'étude d'environ 400 marques de potiers provenant du site de Tepe Yahya dans la province de Kerman, dans le sud de l'Iran. Les marques de potiers ont été répertoriées selon leur typologie et une série de tableaux donne leur répartition par période et par phase. La fonction de ces signes n 'est que brièvement évoquée, tandis que l'on accorde une plus grande attention aux correspondances qui existent entre les marques de potiers des pourtours indo-iraniens et les écritures proto-élamite et harappéenne. A la lumière de ces correspondances, on examine la possibilité de liens entre la civilisation proto-élamite et la civilisation harappéenne.Potts Daniel T. The Potter's Marks of Tepe Yahya.

Importance-Satisfaction Analysis for Tioman Island Marine Park
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to evaluate the importance and satisfaction level of tourists at the Tioman Island Marine Park (TIMP) toward the island’s environmental attributes and service quality offered. This research analyses the overall tourists, as well as comparison between the local and foreign tourists. The measurement of importance and satisfaction is based on the mean analysis, i.e. the importance mean (estimated/expected mean) and the perceived mean (satisfactory mean). The difference between these mean values shows the gap value. The gap analysis in this research is assisted by the t-analysis in explaining the existence of difference, if any. If there is no difference in this analysis, it shows that the tourists get what they expected from their trips to the TIMP. However, if there is existence of difference, it must be ascertained as to whether the trips satisfy their expectations or otherwise. Again, the gap analysis will be able to answer this question. The research result shows that all tourists (both locals and foreign) agree on the importance and satisfaction toward the TIMP‘s environmental attributes and service quality offered. Besides the existence of difference in value between the said means, whether through the gap analysis or the paired t-test; the gap analysis finds that the mean values for most of the environmental attributes and service quality evaluated, are negative. Thus, these negative values indicate a relatively low satisfaction level.Tourists’ perceptions, Environmental attributes, Environmental Service Quality, Tioman Island Marine Park
