Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a rock musician was fundamentally different than playing other kinds of music. It was a learned rather than a taught skill. In On Becoming a Rock Musician, sociologist H. Stith Bennett observes what makes someone a rock musician and what persuades others to take him seriously in this role. The book explores how bands form; the backstage and onstage reality of playing in a band; how bands promote themselves and interact with audiences and music professionals like DJs; and the role of performance.

Book excerpt: Two of the biggest challenges faced by human kind are the conservation of our environmental resources and the elimination of poverty. It is increasingly recognised that these problems are interlinked: the goods and services provided by natural resources are needed to improve well-being, whilst for conservation to succeed it must relate to the poor's needs. This is reflected by all major international policies focused on development or conservation, such as the Millennium Development Goals, and the Convention on Biological Diversity. BGCI believes that biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction must be linked if we are to succeed in either aim. This report highlights how botanic gardens across the world are involved in a variety of projects that use biodiversity to improve human well-being and is based upon an extensive literature survey, and a multilingual survey of BGCI's members. For the purposes of the report, BGCI has divided human well-being into four main areas: (1) improving healthcare, (2) improving nutrition, (3) alleviating financial poverty, and (4) improving community and social relations. The many case studies within the report illustrate how botanic gardens across the world are contributing to these aspects in many diverse ways. Many botanic gardens promote improved nutrition and health through their support of home gardens. Their horticultural skills and ability to propagate plant materials often prove invaluable in this respect. For example, Aburi Botanical Garden in Ghana has been improving local access to medicinal plants by empowering local communities to set up medicinal gardens. As well as establishing a model home garden, it gives a wide range of lectures, seminars, workshops and demonstrations, distributes manuals and provides seedlings to enable communities to set up their own nurseries and first aid gardens. There are many other ways that botanic gardens work for well-being, from developing and hosting horticultural therapy programmes, to educating children about healthy eating, and training disadvantaged minorities in useful skills. Around the world, botanic gardens are also helping local communities to develop income generating projects, such as the production of handicrafts, based on the sustainable use of plant resources. This report also illustrates how various activities of botanic gardens underpin their ability to conduct projects that address well-being issues. Education and research are core strengths that need to be supported and directed to ensure they can continue to link plant diversity with human well-being. For example, many gardens have strong emphasis on research relevant to the development of useful plants in use in agriculture and healthcare. A typical example is Kisantu Botanic Garden in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which conducted trials on the popular fruit mangosteen, to enable farmers to extend the shelf-life of the harvested fruit, and so reach a larger market. Other gardens, such as Botanic Garden "Fundación Xochitla" in Mexico, have focused on developing plants to be locally cultivated for use in the ornamentals market. Well-being projects are not limited to developing countries. In developed countries urban greening projects can make a significant contributions to improving neighbourhood environment and community relations. Sometimes well-being projects involve collaboration between gardens, linking well-resourced gardens with those in an early stage of development, or with little financial support, and in many cases the unique role of botanic gardens is complemented by partnerships and collaborations with non-botanic garden institutions, such as local healthcare clinics. Botanic gardens are clearly much more than just "pretty places". As this report illustrates, they are uniquely placed to use plant diversity to contribute to human well-being. Given the scale of the crisis facing our efforts for both conservation and development, BGCI believes that it is an ethical and practical imperative that botanic gardens are mobilised for this goal.

Download or read book Impact d une ducation th rapeutique propos e en proximit chez des patients diab tiques de type 2 vivant en territoire rural written by Jennifer Laboue and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Education Thérapeutique du Patient (ETP) apparaît limitée en ville et en milieu rural. L'objectif était d'analyser l'impact de l'ETP dans la vie quotidienne de diabétiques faisant la démarche de participer à des séances car proposées près de chez eux. Une étude qualitative par entretiens individuels semi-dirigés fut réalisée auprès de 12 patients diabétiques de type 2. Ils avaient participé aux réunions diététiques (RD) et/ou à l'activité physique (AP) proposées par Diabète 49 sur Baugé/Noyant (territoire rural Est du Maine-et-Loire) de Mai 2013 à Juin 2014. Ce travail objective l'impact positif de l'ETP en proximité. La facilité d'accès allégeait les contraintes de déplacement et de temps. Les patients découvraient puis poursuivaient les programmes d'ETP. La proximité favorisait les rencontres locales. Convivialité et échange entre malades étaient une source motivationnelle. Les RD apportaient notions et astuces concrètes. Les patients développaient des compétences d'autogestion, d'auto-observation, de prises de décision. L'ETP sous forme d'AP suscitait une satisfaction inattendue. Ils retrouvaient l'envie de pratiquer une AP dans une dynamique de groupe solidaire. Cependant, des freins à l'adhésion et à la participation étaient soulevés. Cette étude a exposé le ressenti des patients pour promouvoir l'ETP en proximité et non plus seulement à l'hôpital ou dans les grandes villes. En articulant les réseaux diabète aux Maisons de Santé développées en territoire rural, l'ETP devient accessible à ceux qui en sont le plus éloignés. Elle doit s'appuyer sur des généralistes sensibilisés. Les freins sont à analyser pour intégrer l'ETP durablement en médecine ambulatoire.
