In the Face of Suffering. The Philosophical-Anthropological Foundations of Clinical Ethics.
No full textThis book is for those searching for an ethics engine with enough philosophical power to drive healthcare reform toward a balance between medical technology and human compassion. Jos Welie's project is to “develop a foundation for a patient-centered, non-procedural, clinically grounded but methodologically sound ethics.” This is an important goal that has eluded others. Jos Welie has more nearly succeeded in this book than any other author who has come to my attention.<br/

Waarom corona ons mobiliteitsgedrag fundamenteel kan veranderen
No full textMeer thuiswerken betekent minder woon-werkverkeer. Expert mobiliteitsbeleid Jos Hollestelle en hoogleraar gebiedsontwikkeling Co Verdaas zien voldoende aanleiding om corona als een game changer voor ons mobiliteitsgedrag te zien. Als thuiswerken inderdaad meer norm dan uitzondering wordt dan kan dat niet alleen het einde van het fileleed betekenen, de gevolgen voor gebiedsontwikkeling zijn eveneens aanzienlijk.Practice Chair Urban Area Developmen

Supplement Series for the Journal of Religion & Society
No full textMost theologians today forcefully reject the idea that a person with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) could be God’s creative error, a person who should have been healthy or else never been born. On the other hand, the claim that a person with IDD is created fully in the image of God seems perplexing, for this claim not only says something about the nature of persons with IDD but also about the nature of God: Is it possible to imagine that God could be intellectually disabled? In this paper, the author asks us to reflect on why this topic is so disturbing – a point already raised by Pope John Paul II – and then contrasts this perspective with the historically widespread view that individuals with IDD are somehow changed from their created state of being, possibly by the devil. Next, we return to the major premise that appears to inform both common thinking and traditional Christian theology at least since Aquinas, but which actually harkens back to Plato: intellect and other rational capacities are privileged signs of the affinity of human beings to God, who is all-powerful. The author questions this premise and argues that it presumes an all-too-human understanding of power. A different understanding of the nature of God also opens the door to a different understanding of the way all of us, including persons with IDD, have been created in the image of God.Caring for Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Ethical and Religious Perspectives13-381
Participatory planning and extension: an agroforestry case study from plateau state, Nigeria
Get PDFIn 1991 and 1992 the author and the Jos Plateau Environmental Resources Development Programme (JPERDP), embarked on a rural development project in northern Nigeria. The project was aimed at creating agroforestry vision and building agroforestry capacity within the Plateau Agricultural Development Programme (PADP), a Nigerian State institution. The project consisted of a series of participatory workshops, which focused on agroforestry techniques, participatory extension and operational planning. Since agroforestry is a diverse discipline involving crops, trees and livestock, it requires integrative approaches and is well suited to participatory methods. The project provoked the following questions: "If agroforestry is best accomplished using participatory methods, can it be integrated into an established bureaucracy?" and "What can be learned about a participatory development approach related to the institution in which it is employed?". These questions form the basis of the dissertation .In 1993 the author re-visited the agroforestry section of the PADP with the intention of answering these questions. This evaluation formed the basis for a case study. The review methodology included semi-structured interviews, detailed interviews, file and record reviews and a backstopping workshop. Further, a detailed literature search on rural development, extension, agroforestry and the Nigerian situation was completed to provide a framework for analysing the PADP case study. Results indicated that the project goals of "vision creation" and "capacity building" were only partly achieved because PADP extension methods were not altered; middle level staff were better informed than lower and upper level staff cadres; and PADP resources were not mobilised to address agroforestry concerns. However, technical agroforestry activities within the PADP increased as a partial result of the project. The original project goals were likely too ambitious. These goals were not shared or fully adopted by the organisation because inadequate attention was paid to PADP's organisational culture when formulating and implementing the project. Further, the weak links between staff levels and between the technical section and extension section of the PADP posed serious constraints to the full adoption of the agroforestry extension project. To introduce a participatory agroforestry extension project within a large bureaucratic organisation is a considerable task. This study demonstrates the complexities associated with such rural development projects. Given the constraints faced by the author during the project and the constraints faced daily by the PADP, the limited success of the project is understandable. Even with its limitations, the project has provided a valuable, real world example with its inherent complexities and can serve as a guide in future projects
