Legal and Institutional Challenges in Forest Governance and their Implication in Local Communities’ Benefit from Logging in Mongala Province, DRC

Georges B. Bosakaibo 한국외국어대학교 아프리카연구소 2016 Asian Journal of African Studies Vol.39 No.-

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a country with the second largest tropical rain forest. The country faced exploitative and unregulated natural resources including logging exacerbated by conflict (1996-2002). Then, a new forest code was passed in August 2002 to regulate the forest issues. It specifies the land and resource rights of local communities and stipulates the obligations of the logger to provide social services for sustainable development. However, the local communities merely benefit from the logging. This paper explores the reasons that prevent the local communities to benefit from the logging in Mongala province in DRC. The following questions help to achieve the set objective: ‘to what extent is the law applied and respected in the logging process? What are the challenges that prevent the local communities from being beneficiaries of the logging process? Why are the local communities who are the stakeholders becoming victims instead of being beneficiaries of the logging process?’ This study is based on data gathered by the author through interview with involved actors in Mongala province DRC, from April to September 2014 in addition to secondary data, including books, journals, reports and internet sources. This study presents identified challenges that explain local communities’ prevention from benefiting from the logging. Then, it shows that these challenges constitute the obstacles for the new forest code to work for the local communities’ development. Unless mechanisms are put in place and respected, the local communities will continue to be victims instead of beneficiaries of logging.

Edouard Glissant (1928-2011)’s Theory of Creolization and World Total (“Tout-Monde”)

Georges Daniel Veronique(조르주 다니엘 베로니크) 한국해양대학교 국제해양문제연구소 2015 해항도시문화교섭학 Vol.0 No.13

본 논문은 세계에 영향을 미치는 글로벌화에 대한 이해와 글로벌화 현상을 이해하는 데 크레올화라는 개념을 적용하는 에드워드 글리상의 이론을 다루고자 한다. 글리상의 연구는 크레올사회의 발전이 글로벌화를 이해하기 위한 하나의 모델을 제공하다는 점을 보여줄 것이다. 그는 전-지구(투몽드)에서 이루어지는 다양한 만남들의 다양성과 예측불가능성, 또 타자에 대한 막연함, 불투명성, 혁신에 기반한 새로운 관계, 즉 ‘흔들리는’ 관계를 역설한다. The paper discusses Edouard Glissant (1928-2011)’s views on global social change the world over in the light of creolization. Glissant’s work is a testimony to the fact that the development of Creole societies offers a model for the comprehension of globalization. He makes a plea for diversity and for the unpredictable results of social encounters in World total. He advocates a new “trembling” relation to Other based on approximation, opacity and innovation.

Using Bayesian Networks to Model Hierarchical Relationships in Epidemiological Studies

Georges Nguefack-Tsague 한국역학회 2011 Epidemiology and Health Vol.33 No.-

OBJECTIVES: To propose an alternative procedure, based on a Bayesian network (BN), for estimation and prediction, and to discuss its usefulness for taking into account the hierarchical relationships among covariates. METHODS: The procedure is illustrated by modeling the risk of diarrhea infection for 2,740 children aged 0 to 59 months in Cameroon. We compare the procedure with a standard logistic regression and with a model based on multi-level logistic regression. RESULTS: The standard logistic regression approach is inadequate, or at least incomplete, in that it does not attempt to account for potentially causal relationships between risk factors. The multi-level logistic regression does model the hierarchical structure, but does so in a piecewise manner; the resulting estimates and interpretations differ from those of the BN approach proposed here. An advantage of the BN approach is that it enables one to determine the probability that a risk factor (and/or the outcome) is in any specific state, given the states of the others. The currently available approaches can only predict the outcome (disease), given the states of the covariates. CONCLUSION: A major advantage of BNs is that they can deal with more complex interrelationships between variables whereas competing approaches deal at best only with hierarchical ones. We propose that BN be considered as well as a worthwhile method for summarizing the data in epidemiological studies whose aim is understanding the determinants of diseases and quantifying their effects.

Inclusive Growth and Innovation

Georges Bresson,Jean-Michel Etienne,Pierre Mohnen 과학기술정책연구원 2015 STI Policy Review Vol.6 No.1

Based on the work of Anand et al. (2013) we measure inclusive income growth, which combines growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and growth in the equity of the income distribution. Extending the work of Causa et al. (2014), we estimate a dynamic simultaneous structural equations model of GDP per capita and inclusive income on panel data for 63 countries over the 1990-2013 period. We estimate both equations in error correction form by difference GMM (generalized method of moments). Among the explanatory variables of the level and the distribution of GDP per capita we include R&D (research and development) expenditure per capita. In OECD countries we obtain a large positive effect of R&D on GDP. R&D is found to have a positive effect on the social mobility index but its impact on the income equity index at first decreases, then switches around to become slightly positive in the long run. In non- OECD countries, R&D is found to decrease inclusive income, mostly through a negative growth effect but also because of a slightly increasing income inequity effect.

Translation as Communication: Communicative Teaching of Translation Using Published Translation: Please Look After Mother by Shin, Kyung-Sook

Georges Jiho Kim 한국통번역교육학회 2012 통번역교육연구 Vol.10 No.2

One of the main challenges in teaching translation has been how to induce students’ active participation in the learning process. To achieve more dynamic learning environment in which active discussion and negotiation of meaning can take place, this paper attempts to address the key question of how to transform often static, instructor-dependent translation classroom into more active, student-centered venue for learning and interaction. To avoid any foreseeable unsolicited teacher-dominated scenario, the paper suggests the use of a professionally translated text as an ultimate alternative along with those produced by the students. This paper presents a case study in which a published English translation of a Korean novel into English is used as an alternative reference text to the teacher’s translation. Besides, this study emphasizes the importance of raising students’ awareness of choices in translation and of encouraging the students to make well thought-out selections on their own through active discussion in class.

Discussing Translation and Culture through Comparative Analysis -Focusing on the biography: Steve Jobs-

Georges Jiho Kim 한국통번역교육학회 2012 통번역교육연구 Vol.10 No.1

This paper explores the construct of how a published book, or a “best-seller,” and its translation can be adapted as effective teaching material for teaching translation and culture by presenting a case study. A group of students was engaged in an in-class text analysis comparing source and target texts using the recently published biography of Steve Jobs. Between carefully selected ST-TT pairs, students were to identify omissions and mistranslations and other types of translational gaps, and to suggest revisions to the published translation. The paper describes how text analysis has helped them approach translation as a multi-faceted endeavor to deliver what the source text “means” rather than a flat, textual transference of what the source text “says.” In doing so, the paper incorporates samples and descriptions of how the students have carried out comparative text analysis of specific samples of ST-TT pairs. As for the choice of books to be used as teaching resource for translation, the paper recommends recent publication or “best sellers” (as opposed to “classic”) because of contemporary topics that are familiar and relevant to students' lives while the cultures behind these familiar issues can be foreign. By comparing cultural differences under such common topics as the Internet and finance in translation studies, students may be able to deepen their understanding of inter-cultural issues involved in effective translation.
