Financing and Financial Management of Non-Profit Organization

Fundraising of non-profit organization has many opt ions. The most common ways of funding are from private donors and received grants or subs idies from the municipalities or the European Union. As a non-profit organization does n ot have profit, it has more total fund resources. Its business is carried on the mission f or which it was founded, which is not creating profitability. A very important role in th e financing of voluntary work takes enthusiasts who saves the cost of the organization because for the work do not receive financial rewards.

This research started from the need for appreciation to intellectuality, creativity and ideas of every individual, which is known as the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The problem arises when IPR was crashed with the mission of learning and empowerment for the benefit of the people. The result of this study was that intellectual property could become public goods if used as a means or tool to achieve the objectives of production, distribution and consumption in order to improve their quality. However, it is done without losing the identity of the inventor and the responsibility of government to procure. Intellectual property as private property becomes syubhat for others in taking it if it is associated with personal goals. In other words, the Intellectual Property becomes halal if it comes from the source of the original owner if it is given as a gift.

Creating Central Sulawesi. Mission Intervention, Colonialism and ‘Multiculturality’

Court Governance in Context: Beyond Independence

There is a growing trend in some of the world’s most advanced western democracies of entrusting certain “framework” aspects of court administration to independent judicial agencies. This trend was highlighted in my recent study of the models of court administration, in which I examined court governance systems in seven Australian and international jurisdictions. This article will focus on the reasons behind the establishment of such agencies and the need for judges and policy makers to clearly identify the problems, aims and drivers for reform before embarking on a mission to adopt a particular “model.” At first, this may seem like an obvious proposition; however, recent experience in overseas jurisdictions demonstrates that it is not easy to reach a consensus on even the most basic issues affecting the administration of justice in courts.

Mass Digitization at the Complutense University Library: Access to and Preservation of its Cultural Heritage

In the mid-1990s, the Library of the Complutense of Madrid (UCM) applied the growing body of new technologies to a pioneering project: the digitization of a valuable collection of biomedical books. The result of the project was the Dioscorides Digital Library. Up to 2006, however, the pace of digitization was very slow, resulting in only 3,000 books and 50,000 digitized engravings. In September 2006, the Complutense University and Google signed a partnership agreement for the purpose of carrying out large-scale digitization of our public domain collections. The Complutense University Library is participating in this mass-digitization project with the following goals: To improve the discovery of the cultural heritage of Complutense and increase the number of potential readers; To fulfil its public service mission; To preserve and protect the original books; To enhance students’ and faculty research. By early 2011, the Complutense Library had digitized roughly 120,000 out-of- copyright books from the 16th to the 19th centuries. All these materials are easily accessible via the Complutense Library Catalogue, Google Books and HathiTrust Digital Library. The Complutense University of Madrid joined the HathiTrust Digital Library in November 2010, which allowed books digitized by Google to be stored on HathiTrust servers. The HathiTrust Digital Library is both a digital preservation repository and a platform for access. It provides long-term preservation and access services for public domain and in-copyright content from a variety of sources, including Google, the Internet Archive, Microsoft, and in-house partner institution initiatives. In early 2011, the number of HathiTrust public domain volumes reached the two million mark and the collection exceeded eight million volumes. In addition, and complementing the above, the digital content of the Complutense University Library will be aggregated to Europeana during 2011 and 2012.

Étude sur la mise en oeuvre du droit au logement au Canada et au Québec en vertu du pacte international relatif aux droits économiques sociaux et culturels

Les groupes populaires revendiquent le droit au logement depuis des annees au Canada. Ils denoncent la perte de logements locatifs, des hausses de loyer abusives, la penurie de logements sociaux, l'augmentation du nombre de sans-abris, la speculation immobiliere, la gentrification, la discrimination... Le Canada est pourtant partie au Pacte international relatif aux droits economiques, sociaux et culturels dont l'art. 11(1) reconnait le droit a un logement suffisant pour tous. Il s'agira, dans un premier temps, de definir les obligations generales du Canada en matiere de droits economiques, sociaux et culturels ainsi que celles specifiques au droit au logement. Ensuite, a partir des travaux du Comite des droits economiques sociaux et culturels, l'organe de controle de la mise en œuvre du Pacte, la realisation de chacune des composantes du droit au logement (securite d'occupation, capacite de paiement, habitabilite, facilite d'acces, etc.,) sera etudiee pour le Canada en general et pour le Quebec en particulier. Les documents consultes sont les rapports periodiques du Canada, les memoires d'ONG canadiennes, le rapport du Rapporteur special pour le logement de l'ONU en mission au Canada et les Observations finales du Comite. Les resultats demontrent une situation du logement qui se deteriore au Canada et au Quebec souffrant cruellement d'un manque de ressources et de moyens. La motivation sous-jacente de ce memoire est l'exploration des outils du droit international pour l'avancement de la lutte locale pour le droit au logement. Actuellement, la superficialite des rapports canadiens avec leurs donnees generales ne permet pas au Comite de faire un examen en profondeur de la situation. Les memoires d'ONG canadiennes viennent cependant retablir la realite, mais meme si le Comite les utilise dans ses recommandations aux gouvernements ceux-ci semblent peu enclins a les mettre en pratique. MOTS-CLES DE L’AUTEUR : Droit au logement, Pacte international relatif aux droits economiques sociaux et culturels, Comite des droits economiques sociaux et culturels, Canada, Quebec.

INTERSECTIONS OF WAR TRAUMA, CULTURE, AND SOCIOANALYSIS IN MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTION FOR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS

“Refugee war trauma” is a poor adjunct to post-traumatic stress, lacking context for a civilian survivor of war. The “therapeutic mission”, or consolidating a therapeutic agenda with political reconstitution, has its tensions: Such founders embody politics of “emotionology” (Humphrey, 2005, p. 205) bound largely to pharmaceuticals, from a land of “freedom” (where emphasis is on market) and “democracy” (where emphasis is on autonomy of choice, not accountability). Additionally, how people “cope” or “solve problems” is not universal: Therapy speaks of self-empowerment, self-actualisation, and self-control; reconciliation speaks of collective citizenship, national participation, and group reform. Instituting participation in rituals that ‘help” according to predefined norms of an American prescription to suffering speaks more to the globalisation of the American psyche (Watters, 2010; Venne, 1997) than of humanitarian relief. This paper looks at the absence of cultural and socio-political specificities within the dominant discourse on “war trauma”, that are however of ultimate relevance for people affected by war. Using a case example from my own practice with a Rwandan woman living now in Canada, I question the “helpfulness” of post-traumatic stress treatment with this instance of refugee war trauma, and the impact of power systems in mental health care. How can the therapeutic encounter, given its genesis in Eurocentric, patriarchal, enlightenment thought, pause to better consider its potential for injury, especially within contexts of post-colonial genocide? How to avoid a new “mission to civilise”? What tensions to note as the advent of “trauma counselling” seeks more global application and transnational legitimacy?
