The resilience of health systems has received considerable attention as of late, yet little is known about what a resilience test might look like. We develop a resilience test concept and methodology. We describe key components of a toolkit and a 5-phased approach to implementation of resilience testing that can be adapted to individual health systems. We develop a methodology for a test that is balanced in terms of standardization and system-specific characteristics/needs. We specify how to work with diverse stakeholders from the health ecosystem via participatory processes to assess and identify recommendations for health system strengthening. The proposed resilience test toolkit consists of “what if” adverse scenarios, a menu of health system performance elements and indicators based on an input-output-outcomes framework, a discussion guide for each adverse scenario, and a traffic light scorecard template. The five phases of implementation include Phase 0, a preparatory phase to adapt the toolkit materials; Phase 1: facilitated discussion groups with stakeholders regarding the adverse scenarios; Phase 2: supplemental data collection of relevant quantitative indicators; Phase 3: summarization of results; Phase 4: action planning and health system transformation. The toolkit and 5-phased approach can support countries to test resilience of health systems, and provides a concrete roadmap to its implementation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present results from the action research project, where sustainability professionals, local businesses and academic researchers collaborated on exploring barriers for food waste recycling in SMEs food outlets in order to inform local policy and business practices in Bristol, UK. Design/methodology/approach The researchers conducted face-to-face, qualitative surveys of 79 catering businesses in three diverse areas of the city. The action research methodology was applied, where a range of co-researchers contributed towards study design and review. Findings The research reveals the main barriers to recycling and how such perceptions differ depending on whether the respondents do or do not recycle, with “convenience” and “cost” being the main issue according to the already recycling participants. On the other hand, participants who do not recycle state that their main reason is “not enough waste” and “lack of space”. Practical implications Participants recommended a range of measures, which could improve the current food waste services in Bristol. For example, they suggest that business engagement should address the barriers voiced by the participants applying the framings used by them, rather than assuming restaurants and cafes are not aware of the issue. By inviting a variety of non-academic stakeholders into the process of research design and analysis, the project addressed the imbalances in knowledge production and policy design. Originality/value Despite the local and qualitative focus of this paper, the results and research methodology could act as a useful guide for conducting food waste action research in the policy context.

This study assessed whether community participation in health related activity was a reality or just popular development rhetoric.Using action research methodology, focus group discussions and informal contacts were made with farm workers consisting of twelve families in Umkomaas, south of Durban in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The aim was to establish whether this community could be actively involved in all aspects of community participation. The level of participation was described using Rifkin’s model (Rifkin et al, 1988). Results of this study revealed that the community was able to identify their own health problems, prioritize them and plan appropriate strategies to meet the needs identified.

ABSTRAKPenelitian Tindakan Kelas ini dilaksanakan di Kelas VIII A SMPN I Sukaresmi dalam upaya meningkatkan kemampuan dan kreatifitas siswa dalam memainkan musik tradisional. Dengan melihat hasil belajar siswa yang masih dibawah nilai Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (77), maka peneliti merasa perlu mengadakan penelitian. Metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas ini diawali dengan perencanaan tindakan, pelaksanaan tindakan, obserfasi dan refleksi. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan sebanyak dua kali, yaitu pada siklus I dan siklus II, dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan kreatifitas siswa dalam memainkan musik tradisional yang merupakan akar permasalahannya. Pada hasil penelitian, terbukti adanya peningkatan dalam kreatifitas memainkan musik tradisional yang dimiliki siswa melalui pembelajaran dengan menggunakan metode tutor sebaya. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari hasil penilaian Seni Budaya khususnya Musik Tradisional pada Siklus I dan Siklus II. Siswa yang memperoleh nilai dibawah KKM pada Pra Penelitian sebanyak 24 orang (63,16%), pada Siklus I berkurang menjadi 13 orang (34,21%) berarti naik sekitar 29% dari sebelumnya, dan setelah pelaksanaan tindakan kelas pada Siklus II seluruh siswa yaitu 38 orang (100%) mencapai nilai KKM (77,00) tidak ada lagi siswa dengan nilai dibawah KKM (0%). Sedangkan nilai rata-rata yang diperoleh siswa adalah 72,03 pada Pra Siklus, 77,05 pada Siklus I dan pada Siklus II 80,55. Penggunaan Metode Tutor Sebaya dalam seni musik tradisional ini sangat efektif dan cukup menyenangkan serta tidak membosankan. Berdasarkan angket respon siswa setelah belajar dengan menggunakan metode tutor sebaya ini, data kuantitatif dan kualitatif membuktikan  90% siswa menyatakan senang, 10% siswa masih merasa kesulitan dengan metode pembelajaran ini. Dari uraian di atas, peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa penggunaan metode tutor sebaya dalam seni musik tradisional dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam kreatifitas memainkan musik tradisional, oleh karena itu peneliti menyarankan untuk menggunakannya sebagai alternatif dalam pembelajaran Seni Budaya Khususnya Seni Musik Tradisional Nusantara.Kata kunci: Tutor Sebaya, Kreatifitas Bermusik ABSTRACT This Classroom Action Research was carried out in Class VIII A of SMPN 1 Sukaresmi in an effort to improve students' abilities and creativity in playing traditional music. By looking at student learning outcomes that are still below the Minimum Completeness Criteria (77), the researchers need to conduct research. This Classroom Action Research Method begins with action planning, action execution, observation and reflection. This activity was carried out twice in cycle I and cycle II, with the aim to improving the ability and creativity of students in playing traditional music which is the root of the problem. In the results of the study, it was proven that there was an increase in creativity in playing traditional music owned by students through learning using peer tutoring methods.

The Nasa indigenous community on the Yaquivá reservation, located in the municipality of Inza (Cauca-Colombia), has designed a "Life Plan", in which education plays a fundamental role. This is reflected in the Community Education Project carried out at the Jiisa Fxiw agroecological school. However, within the Colombian ethnographic literature, there are no records that systematize these life plans from the agroecologi-cal approach. In order to help fill this gap, the objective of this study was to analyze the life plan for the Yaquivá reservation from the agroecology perspective. Participatory action research was used for the research methodology. The results identified the legal and constitutional frameworks that support this plan and action document as the main strength. In addition, the document facilitates the development of institutionalism with autonomy and identity. It was concluded that the life plan for the Yaquivá reservation, in itself, constitutes a force that surpasses the technological and productive (distributive), socioeconomic (structural), and sociopolitical (dialectical) dimensions. Additionally, as part of the Nasa indigenous community, the entire life plan is influenced and determined by its own worldview, i.e. its spiritual perspective.
