American Historical Association Bienvenue sur le site du PIREH Le PIREH (Pôle Informatique de Recherche et d'Enseignement en Histoire) est né dans le cadre de l'UFR d'Histoire, lorsque dans le contexte des formations pluridisciplinaires développées en son sein, un enseignement "informatique et histoire" a été créé, à l'origine au niveau L3. Cette expérience a permis de développer une pédagogie centrée sur la création et l'exploitation des bases de données et de corpus textuels qui met l'étudiant en situation de chercheur. Les membres du PIREH poursuivent aujourd'hui dans cette voie, celle d'une formation spécifique en informatique pour les historiens. Cette formation doit être à la fois adaptée aux capacités des étudiants d'histoire et donner accès aux méthodes pluridisciplinaires nécessaires à l'historien et mettant en oeuvre l'informatique : Cet enseignement s'adapte aujourd'hui à l'ensemble du cursus des historiens, en premier cycle, comme en M1, M2 et doctorat (y compris un suivi individuel des travaux de recherche des étudiants).

Home » University of Mysore Fighting Child-poverty multidimensionally: A Headline and a Toolbox — Global Coalition to End Child Poverty The overarching aim of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) is to half child poverty in all its dimensions by 2030. In her opening remarks at "Putting Children First", Dr. Akousa Aidoo (Vice-Chairperson and Rapporteur of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2007-2013) highlighted the need to act now as “child poverty is everyone’s problem and it should be a national government’s priority.” The AF method is a flexible technique for measuring poverty. The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is probably the most famous application of the AF method. Following the basic steps of the AF method, it is very intuitive and straight forward to focus on children. Another way to focus on child multidimensional poverty is to create an index solely tailored to child specific needs.

Inside Google Desktop TOCO About | V-Dem Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a new approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy. We provide a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections. The V-Dem project distinguishes between seven high-level principles of democracy: electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, egalitarian, majoritarian and consensual, and collects data to measure these principles. It is a collaboration among more than 50 scholars worldwide which is co-hosted by the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden; and the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame, USA. Brief information about V-Dem can be found here: Varieties of Democracy Brief. V-Dem is one of the largest-ever social science data collection efforts with a database containing over 18 million data points. In order to better conceptualize and measure democracy, the V-Dem project:

OECD Better Life Index How’s Life? Australia performs very well in many measures of well-being relative to most other countries in the Better Life Index. Australia ranks at the top in civic engagement and above the average in income and wealth, environmental quality, health status, housing, jobs and earnings, education and skills, subjective well-being, and social connections. These rankings are based on available selected data. Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In terms of employment, around 72% of people aged 15 to 64 in Australia have a paid job, above the OECD employment average of 67%. Good education and skills are important requisites for finding a job. In terms of health, life expectancy at birth in Australia is around 83 years, three years higher than the OECD average of 80 years. In general, Australians are more satisfied with their lives than the OECD average.
