Abstract

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Focusing on material and social forms of infrastructure, this edited collection draws on rich empirical details from cities across the global North and South. The book asks the reader to think through the different ways in which infrastructure comes to be present in cities and its co-constitutive relationships with urban inhabitants and wider processes of urbanization. Considering the climate emergency, economic transformation, public health crises and racialized inequality, the book argues that paying attention to infrastructures’ past, present and future allows us to understand and respond to the current urban condition.

182. Grundzüge der Außereuropäischen Christentumsgeschichte: Asien, Afrika, und Lateinamerika 1450–2000(Main Features of the Non-European History of Christianity: Asia, Africa, and Latin America, 1450–2000)

Author

Abstract

Professor Klaus Koschorke’s pioneering work Grundzüge der Außereuropäischen Christentumsgeschichte: Asien, Afrika, und Lateinamerika 1450–2000(Main features of the non-European history of Christianity: Asia, Africa, and Latin America, 1450–2000) provides an overview of the historical development of Christianity in the Global South between 1450 and 2000. Koschorke emphasized the “polycentric” nature of Christianity—the fact that, for the gospel to be successful, it must become deeply embedded in the local cultures it encounters, producing forms of Christianity that are distinctive from those of Europe or North America, and in which indigenous evangelism, theology, and discipleship flourish. Koschorke also highlights the importance of relationships between the churches of South America, Asia, and Africa, the Black Atlantic, networks of co-operation throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans that are as important as Western missionary movements in identifying Christianity as a world religion.

189. Exploring Nonprofit Advocacy Research Methods and Design: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Abstract

The study of nonprofit advocacy has evolved significantly over the past two decades, yet gaps still remain in our understanding of the processes and roles of nonprofit organizations in policymaking and policy change. In part, these gaps may be exacerbated by limitations in the methodologies and research designs used to examine advocacy, despite the growing scholarship base. To investigate this possibility, this article reports the findings of a systematic literature review of 264 scholarly articles that examine the antecedents, processes, and/or outcomes of nonprofit advocacy. The sampling method relies heavily on scholarship published in six leading nonprofit and public administration journals. Although theory suggests that nonprofit organizations have a vital role in facilitating policy processes, much of the advocacy research relies upon a limited form of research questions and methods. Findings also reveal a need for greater precision in describing data, design, and methods, and suggest a need for clearer, validated measures of both nonprofit advocacy efforts and the resulting outcomes. Finally, we suggest new areas for nonprofit advocacy research, including investigating new venues, different levels of analysis, employing emerging research methods, and examining advocacy over time.

193. Using Capture–Recapture Methodology to Enhance Precision of Representative Sampling-Based Case Count Estimates

Abstract

The application of serial principled sampling designs for diagnostic testing is often viewed as an ideal approach to monitoring prevalence and case counts of infectious or chronic diseases. Considering logistics and the need for timeliness and conservation of resources, surveillance efforts can generally benefit from creative designs and accompanying statistical methods to improve the precision of sampling-based estimates and reduce the size of the necessary sample. One option is to augment the analysis with available data from other surveillance streams that identify cases from the population of interest over the same timeframe, but may do so in a highly nonrepresentative manner. We consider monitoring a closed population (e.g., a long-term care facility, patient registry, or community), and encourage the use of capture–recapture methodology to produce an alternative case total estimate to the one obtained by principled sampling. With care in its implementation, even a relatively small simple or stratified random sample not only provides its own valid estimate, but provides the only fully defensible means of justifying a second estimate based on classical capture–recapture methods. We initially propose weighted averaging of the two estimators to achieve greater precision than can be obtained using either alone, and then show how a novel single capture–recapture estimator provides a unified and preferable alternative. We develop a variant on a Dirichlet-multinomial-based credible interval to accompany our hybrid design-based case count estimates, with a view toward improved coverage properties. Finally, we demonstrate the benefits of the approach through simulations designed to mimic an acute infectious disease daily monitoring program or an annual surveillance program to quantify new cases within a fixed patient registry.
