Case Studies. Three case studies will help us to understand the dynamics of state- military development in Central African countries and the differences between them. They bear on the DRC (also designated in this work as ‘Congo’),79 Cameroon and Rwanda. Those three countries have been selected as representing a good cross-section of situations to be encountered in the region as their trajectories of state formation and state-building differ substantially, as does the role of their military in relation to the political institutions. Alone among the states of francophone Central Africa, Rwanda harbours a pre-colonial history of both state formation that continued until the construction of European imperial empires of the late 19th century and of a professional military. As the parenthesis of colonial times and the early years of independence were closed by the 1994 genocide, the military has assumed a key role in Rwanda’s modern state-building, largely combining political and security functions in the hands of the same elites. At the other end of the spectrum, state-building has been a much more untidy process in the Congo, a country that had no pre-colonial history of state formation. Fifty years after independence, the DRC remains the symbol of a ‘fragile state’, kept in intensive care by the international community for that reason. It is only a period of about half of the years under the reign of President Xxxxxx that Congolese veterans describe with nostalgic dazzlement and pride as a ‘Golden Age’ of their military. Events in the East of the country since the mid-1990s have demonstrated how tenuous a process military 79 As the country has changed names several times since independence, the term ‘Congo’ will be used to refer to characteristics or developments that are not specific to a particular phase of its history. Otherwise the respective names of the period under discussion will be used (ex. DRC, Zaïre). The DRC is not to be confused with the much smaller Congo on the northern bank of the river, the Republic of Congo formation remains in the Congo. A large number of diverse military actors have in the meantime played a variety of roles from keepers of the regime to sources of outright chaos in the country. Cameroon represents yet a third kind of configuration, sharing Congo’s absence of pre-colonial state experience but, like Rwanda, boasting an uncontested ‘national army’, at least since the early 1970s. Its relative stability since independence appears to indica...
Case Studies. Bolster may request the Customer participate in a case study of the project including an interview and photo shoot. Participation by the Customer is of course optional.
Case Studies. Drawing on our team’s extensive network, we will research national best practices that may be a fit for the Client based on our work on prior tasks. For each best practice identified, we will provide a brief profile outlining the approach along with any available information on how the program or initiative was implemented. The results of this task will help shape our recommendations and will be integrated into the final deliverable where appropriate.
Case Studies. We identified existing cases of ITHIM applications for transportation projects and conducted in- depth analysis of the cases. Based on results of literature review, we selected three cases (i.e., greater Nashville area in Tennessee, five major California MPOs, and counties in Sacramento, California) of transportation health impacts assessment in the U.S. and examined the context of HIA applications, the assessment methods and data, and regional transportation plans and actions taken after the assessment.
Case Studies. After conclusion of literature review for this project, we determined that the Integrated Transport and Health Impact Tool (ITHIM) is the most appropriate tool for conducting health impact assessment in Miami-Dade county. In this chapter, we documented results from our comprehensive review of ITHIM implementation cases in the United States, including implementations in greater Nashville area in Tennessee, five major California Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), and counties in Sacramento, California. The case studies examined details of the ITHIM implementations in terms of contexts of the applications, calibration data, assessment scenarios, health outcomes assessed, results of the assessment, and plans and actions after ITHIM implementations. Note that discussions of XXXXX case studies in this chapter cover only technical details relevant to the implementation. ITHIM methodologies are covered in the literature review chapter.
Case Studies. 18 The contractor may use an online living wage calculator that is based on geography (e.g., xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx/). Case studies will be developed for three institutions to provide a more in-depth examination of the current state of arts and transdisciplinary programs, and improved understanding of the value of these programs to the surrounding community, including the social, cultural, and economic opportunities for local residents and workers. Findings from these case studies will present relevant, detailed examples of different approaches to cultivating arts assets and community partnerships HBCUs are currently employing. Institutions will be selected that differ substantially by student population size and location and which have different approaches to cultivating arts assets; the contractor shall work with the COR to finalize criteria for selecting institutions for case study analysis using data collected in the previous data collection activities. The contractor shall conduct up to 7 virtual focus groups with institutional leaders (deans, department/program chairpersons, career development staff, center/institute directors, research directors), campus arts administrators and faculty, and student and alumni representatives from each campus, as well as LAA/SAA/XXX program staff, representatives from regional workforce development boards, and industry and community arts leaders and partners. Focus group topics of discussion may include innovative curricular, extracurricular, and structural models that complement or supplement traditional fine arts curricula, such as transdisciplinary arts integration programs, STEAM initiatives, including maker spaces and incubators, and public policy and administration arts-related programs. LAA/SAA/XXX program staff in the HBCUs’ regions will provide additional information on the nature of HBCUs’ participation in local, state, and regional arts networks. The contractor shall prepare for NEA review and approval a recommended list of focus group participants prior to initiating contact with experts. The contractor shall conduct case studies mostly without the agency’s logistical support, although the COR retains the right to audit selected focus groups with advance notice provided to the contractor. The NEA recommends that the contractor pay a stipend equivalent to a living wage, but the contractor is responsible for the final decision on compensation. In analyzing data, the contractor is expected to use both qu...

Case Studies. In the previous task, a comprehensive literature review of existing AFC systems was conducted. The literature review helped identify current practices and innovative methods and applications on the use of AFC data. This task enhances the Literature Review by identifying three case studies. These are locations where transit agencies have utilized AFC data to develop approaches, methodologies, technologies, applications, tools, etc. to help improve their efficiencies. This was based on the available information available through documentations, project reports, and research papers. The case studies focus on the use of AFC data, the analysis, and the methods used to retrieve, analyze, and visualize the data for transit planning applications. The selected locations of the case studies are New York, Massachusetts, and Utah with their corresponding transit agencies: Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). Below is the general information of each of the agencies: MTA The MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) is North America's largest transportation network, serving a population of 15.3 million people in the 5,000-square-mile area from New York City through Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. The MTA network comprises the nation’s largest bus fleet and more subway and commuter rail cars than all other U.S. transit systems combined. The MTA's operating agencies are MTA New York City Transit, MTA Bus, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. The MTA transit network operates 24 hours per day. The MTA subway had a daily ridership of approximately 5.5 million and an annual ridership in 2019 of roughly 1.698 billion. It includes 472 subway stations and more than 6,600 subway cars, which collectively traveled about 365 million miles in 2019. At the end of 2019, the MTA Bus and New York City Transit bus system had 327 routes: 234 local, 20 Select Bus Service, and 73 express routes. The bus fleet had a total of 5,927 vehicles, all 100% accessible to riders with disabilities. The bus daily ridership was approximately 2.2 million and an annual ridership of 678 million in 2019. MBTA The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, often referred to as the MBTA or simply “The T”, is the public operator of most bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in the greater Boston, Massachusetts, area. It is the largest transi...
