Tension and struggle are part of this process of change, but those communities that have been able move forward tend to be those that define themselves by their assets and capacities, rather than by their problems. The purpose of this manual is to shine the light on these communities, and draw out lessons for development practitioners. These development practitioners may be working with non- governmental organizations (NGOs), ranging from community development associations (CDAs) at the community level through to international NGOs operating in Egypt. They may be working with government agencies, in the private sector, or as private individuals. Methods for conducting and analyzing the case studies To select these cases, individuals experienced in Egyptian community development through their work with donor and practitioner agencies were consulted. From 53 suggestions, 10 cases were chosen for closer study. They were chosen because they have succeeded in setting sustained community-driven development in motion. They were also selected to present diverse examples of types of community development work in a variety of contexts. The cases are therefore drawn from contexts as varied as Bedouin nomadic groups to urban neighborhoods in Cairo, including everything from a composting initiative to an ambitious multi-faceted urban renovation project. The development agencies represented ranged from large scale international and Egyptian NGOs, to private individuals providing professional services. After conducting fieldwork in these communities and interviewing those people who played an active role, the cases were discussed and reviewed through an “an asset-based” lens. The following question was asked: Can success be traced to the capacity of communities to recognize and mobilize their own assets, and to use these to access opportunities? In these cases, are development practitioners viewing the community as “half full” rather than “half empty”? And are communities consciously building, as well as mobilizing, the asset base? The cases were then reviewed to see if these community stories supported the following assumptions: · that the capacity for sustained community development, driven by communities themselves, depends on confidence in existing capacities, particularly the capacity to mobilize and organize; · and that effective relationships with public and private sector institutions are the means to strengthening and expanding this asset base. Because donor and practitioner agencies provided the suggestions for the case studies, the final selection is biased in favour of community development examples in which an NGO or other outside agency had a significant role. For this reason, the only case that can be described as truly asset-based is the Boghada case. Here the community mobilized their own resources first and were then able to drive their own development forward on their own terms, in collaboration with other agencies. 5 While the other cases described were typically more NGO-driven, they nevertheless illustrate ways in which development practitioners can help communities to build and sustain assets so that they can continue to move forward on their own. What is community? The term “community” can mean different things here. Sometimes it is used to refer to a geographical community. Sometimes it refers to a “community of interest” which could be a sub-group within a geographical community or people with a common interest that cuts across geographical boundaries. The lessons drawn from these cases can be applied to “community” in all its diverse forms. Policy context in which communities are trying to build their livelihood The Egyptian context presents unique challenges to, and opportunities for, community development. Bureaucracy has often slowed the pace of local initiative, whether it is the lengthy time taken to get a title deed for land, to formally register a business or an NGO, or the scrutiny of government over

Forensic entomology can help to estimate the time elapsed since death by studying the necrophagous insects collected on a cadaver and its surroundings. In this paper forty eight species (369 specimens) are listed that belong to seven families: Silphidae (3 species), Staphylinidae (6 species), Histeridae (11 species), Anobiidae (4 species), Cleridae (6 species), Dermestidae (14 species), and Nitidulidae (4 species).

  • Radiological Characterization of Beach Sediments Along the Alexandria–Rosetta Coasts of Egypt
    +Model JTUSCI-165; No. of Pages 9 ARTICLE IN PRESS Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Journal of Taibah University for Science xxx (2015) xxx–xxx Radiological characterization of beach sediments along the Alexandria–Rosetta coasts of Egypt a,∗ b A.A. Abdel-Halim , I.H. Saleh a Department of Basic and Applied Sciences, College of Engineering and Technology, The Arab Academy for Sciences and Technology and Maritime Transport, P.O. Box 1029, Alexandria, Egypt b Department of Environmental Studies, Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, Alexandria University, P.O. Box 832, EL-Shatby, Alexandria, Egypt Abstract In the present study, 52 sediment samples were collected from 14 sites along the area extending from west of Alexandria (El-MAX) to the eastern side of the Rosetta promontory (the terminal of the Nile River with the Mediterranean Sea). The collected samples 226 228 40 137 were analyzed for radioactive contents. Ra, Ra, K and Cs were detected. The distribution of radionuclide activity and mass concentrations of Th and U displayed a specific pattern that reflects the mineralogical formations and beach stability. Radiological hazards were investigated by calculating the following radiological parameters: the radium equivalent, radiation hazard index and annual effective dose. It was observed that the levels of radiological parameter are higher in eastern locations than in western ones. In addition, the western side displayed radiological parameters higher than the recommended world-wide values. © 2015 The Authors.
