Indicators

Indicators

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are called...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

Peace and Conflict Studies
Sociology
Development Studies

Background:

Current peace measurement approaches by international organizations, INGOs, and governments are often flawed.
Existing methods use overly broad or narrow levels of analysis.
Aggregated statistical data frequently fails to resonate with local communities in conflict zones.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a new generation of locally organized peace indicators.
To ground these indicators in the everyday lives of affected communities.
To explore their potential for conflict transformation and community-led peace initiatives.

Main Methods:

Inspired by crowd-sourced indicators from sustainable development practices.
Advocates for participatory action research.
Focuses on uncovering the 'hidden transcript' within deeply divided societies.

Main Results:

Proposed indicators are locally organized and based on daily life experiences.
Crowd-sourcing offers a participatory approach to indicator development.
Potential for indicators to evolve into 'indicators+' or conflict transformation tools.

Conclusions:

Locally organized, crowd-sourced peace indicators can offer a more meaningful alternative to current methods.
Participatory action research is key to understanding local perspectives and 'hidden transcripts'.
This approach can lead to more targeted and effective peacebuilding and development assistance.
