“…It is more concerned with the ability or capacity of persons to achieve freedom of development [ 42 ]. Although some scholars have criticized the approach for lacking specific indicators to measure poverty, others have lauded it and provided indicators for measuring human wellbeing [ 45 , 46 ]. According to the literature on the capability approach, there are four components: commodities (goods or services that an individual or household declares are legally obtained in using an endowment), functioning (the achievements, that is, the doings or beings of a person), utility (the desired fulfillment of an individual) and endowment.…”

In recent years, entrepreneurship has been gaining more prominence as a potential tool for solving poverty in developing countries. This paper mainly examines the relationship between farmer entrepreneurship and rural poverty alleviation in China by assessing the contribution of farm entrepreneurs towards overcoming poverty. Data were collected from 309 employees of farmer entrepreneurships in Guangxi Province through survey questionnaires. Structural equation modeling was used to conduct an analysis of the effects of three identified capabilities of farm entrepreneurs—economic, educational and knowledge, and socio-cultural capabilities—on attitude towards farmer entrepreneurship growth and the qualitative growth of farmer entrepreneurship and how these in turn affect rural poverty, using AMOS 21. The findings show that socio-cultural capability has the greatest influence on farmer entrepreneurship growth (β = 0.50, p<0.001). The qualitative growth of farmer entrepreneurship also more significantly impacts rural poverty (β = 0.69, p<0.001) than attitude towards farmer entrepreneurship growth. This study suggests that policy makers in China should involve more rural farmers in the targeted poverty alleviation strategies of the government by equipping rural farmers with entrepreneurial skills. This can serve as a sustainable, bottom-up approach to alleviating rural poverty in remote areas of the country. The study also extends the literature on the farmer entrepreneurship-rural poverty alleviation nexus in China, and this can serve as a lesson for other developing countries in the fight against rural poverty.

“…Amartya Sen, 1980'li yılarda yayımladığı bir dizi yazısındaki geliştirilen kapasite yaklaşımıyla [8][9] yoksulluğu, ekonomik olarak değerlendirmenin ötesinde sağlık ve eğitim hizmetlerine ulaşımı ve daha kapsamlı olarak yaşam kalitesini de içeren "kapasite yoksunluğu" olarak değerlendirmektedir. 10 Bin dokuz yüz doksanlı yılların başlarında Townsend, yoksunluk kavramını kaynaklardan ziyade koşullara uygulamış ve yoksunluk ve yoksulluk arasında bir ayrım yapmıştır. Yoksunluk kavramını; "birey, hane ya da grupların genel toplum veya ülke seviyesine göre gözlenebilir ve kanıtlanabilir dezavantajlı durumda olmaları" olarak tanımlamış ve yoksunluğu maddi ve sosyal olarak ikiye ayırmıştır.…”

The aim of this study is to test the validity and reliability of Turkish version of Deprivation in Primary Care Questionnaire (DiPCare-Q). Method: In the study, a survey, consisting of socio-demographic information, living standard indicators and DiPCare-Q Turkish form, was applied with face to face interviews to 160 people who are literate, older than 18 years age and applied to Family Health Center in Akyurt district of Ankara. The validity of the scale was assessed by content validity, construct validity and discriminant validity. To test the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and item total correlation coefficients were calculated. Results: 61.3% of the participants were women, 74.4% were married and 62.5% were under high school. In the content validity, Kendall's Coefficient of Condordance W was calculated as 0,441 and p <0,05. In construct validity, the results of Principal component analysis showed that the model explained 68.49% of the total variance with 3 factors. For dicriminant validity, DiPCare-Q total and subscale scores of participants were compared according to objective indicators of poverty. And it was determined that there were statistically significant differences in scores of social deprivation dimension, material deprivation dimension and total DiPCare-Q according to objective indicators of poverty DiPCare-Q. In the evaluation of reliability of scale, the Kuder-Richardson 20 coefficient was calculated as 0,80 which is the result that the scale is reliable. In addition, correlations of the items with the total score were determined above the standard value of 0.40. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that Turkish version of DiPCare-Q is valid and reliable, so its usage was recommended in primary care services.

“…An additional critical issue concerning the policy analytics topic is how to introduce innovation within public policies, for example to conceive of currently inconceivable policies. The most promising ideas come from joining analytics with formal design tools, allowing the emergence of "out of the box" designs (Howlett 2011;Pluchinotta et al 2019), and in some cases a healthy dose of considering science fiction and the cutting edge of artistic inspiration as an option set worthy of formal investigation (Johnson 2011;Wenger et al 2020).…”

Our digital age is characterized by both a generalized access to data and an increased call for participation of the public and other stakeholders and communities in policy design and decision-making. This context raises new challenges for political decision-makers and analysts in providing these actors with new means and moral duties for decision support, including in the area of environmental policy. The concept of "policy analytics" was introduced in 2013 as an attempt to develop a framework, tools, and methods to address these challenges. This conceptual initiative prompted numerous research teams to develop empirical applications of this framework and to reflect on their own decision-support practice at the science-policy interface in various environmental domains around the world. During a workshop in Paris in 2018, participants shared and discussed their experiences of these applications and practices. In this paper, we present and analyze a set of applications to identify a series of key properties that underpin a policy analytics approach, in order to provide the conceptual foundation for policy analytics to address current policy design and decision-making challenges. The induced properties are demandorientedness, performativity, normative transparency, and data meaningfulness. We show how these properties materialized through these six case studies, and we explain why we consider them key to effective policy analytics applications, particularly in environmental policy design and decision-making on environmental issues. This clarification of the policy analytics concept eventually enables us to highlight research frontiers to further improve the concept.
