What does trophy hunting create in Africa?
|
A scientific study in the journal, Biological Conservation, states that trophy hunting is of "major importance to conservation in Africa by creating economic incentives for conservation over vast areas, including areas which may be unsuitable for alternative wildlife-based land uses such as photographic ecotourism." However, another study states that less than 3% of a trophy hunters' expenditures reach the local level, meaning that the economic incentive and benefit is "minimal, particularly when we consider the vast areas of land that hunting concessions occupy."

The malaria problem seems to be compounded by the AIDS epidemic. Research has shown that in Namibia the risk of contracting malaria is 14.5% greater if a person is also infected with HIV. The risk of death from malaria is also raised by approximately 50% with a concurrent HIV infection. Given infection rates this large, as well as a looming malaria problem, it may be very difficult for the government to deal with both the medical and economic impacts of this epidemic. The country had only 598 physicians in 2002.

effects hiv/aids on economy
|
AIDS has the potential to create severe economic impacts in many African countries. It is. different from most other diseases because it strikes people in the most productive age. groups and is essentially 100 percent fatal. The effects will vary according to the severity. of the AIDS epidemic and the structure of the national economies. The two major. economic effects are a reduction in the labor supply and increased costs: Labor Supply. ⢠The loss of young adults in their most productive years will affect overall. economic output.

cost effectiveness of hiv prevention
|
Unit costs declined with the volume of services provided for all three intervention types. The cost-effectiveness of the clinical provider sites was $107,656 per HIV case averted compared with no intervention. Clinical provider sites were less costly and more effective than the specialist or mixed sites. Conclusions: Compared with the lifetime cost of HIV/AIDS care and with other effective HIV prevention interventions, the clinical provider-led interventions in this study are cost-effective. In an incremental comparison with clinical provider sites, specialist and mixed intervention sites were not cost-effective.

what is the paleo diet exactly
|
A. The Paleo Diet is the unique diet to which our species is genetically adapted. This program of eating was not designed by diet doctors, faddists, or nutritionists, but rather by Mother Natureâs wisdom acting through evolution and natural selection. The Paleo Diet is based upon extensive scientific research examining the types and quantities of foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate. The foundation of The Paleo Diet is meat, seafood, and unlimited consumption of fresh fruits and veggies.
|
Paleo is a way of eating based on the supposed habits of prehistoric hunter-gatherers. But Fred Flintstone most likely didn't adhere to these rules. According to a paper published Tuesday in the Quarterly Review of Biology, cavemen ate a much more varied diet than Paleo devotees are led to believe. For the study, the authors examined prior research on the anatomical, environmental, chemical and feeding behaviors of mammals from 6 million to 1.6 million years ago.

This work describes an experimental study is carried out on running bond 195 red clay prisms, of two and three ceramic blocks, with and without cement mortar coating, subjected to axial compression in order to enhance the capacity of masonry. The prisms were subjected to compressive loading and all of them had deformation control on each face with a deflectometer, in order to obtain information about the behaviour of the prisms. The experimental results indicate an increase both in the compressive load capacity of the coated prisms and in those that use coatings based on reinforced mortar, not complying with the specifications of conventional structural mortar. The load ratios of prisms/wallettes and prisms with two blocks/prisms with three blocks were satisfactory.

Do talk shows exploit society's victims?
|
NO!!!! Talk shows make society more aware of certain situations that most people ignore in ever day living. Nobody likes to think that certain things could happen to them. But in reality the people that come on talk shows makes us aware that it does happen and in fact could happen or even be happening to you. Its just like a teaching hospital you may feel exploited by going in a hospital and the doctors using your condition to learn more facts or using you to make a study but you have to remember that somebody was used before you and will be used after you to find different cures. Talk shows is nothing more than a learning experience. It helps give you ideas on how to handle certain situations should they arise in your life.

Greenstick fractures of distal radius followed-up by ultrasound : A prospective study
|
In our study we followed 38 metaphyseal greenstick fractures of the distal radius in children both by ultrasound and by X-rays. The study was conducted prospectively to verify if ultrasound is an acceptable method for following greenstick fractures of the distal radius. The metaphyseal fractures of the distal radius account for 60-75% of the forearm fractures in children. With the exception of torus fractures, these fractures are unstable, thus follow-up is recommended. The results of our study support the hypothesis that metaphyseal greenstick fractures may be safely followed-up by ultrasound examination.

Abstract : Stalbo Debates are a series of articles published over the last two years in its principal theoretical journal, Morskoy sbornik. Topics include: General part of the Theory, Theory of the Naval Art, Theory of Building the Navy, Theory of the Navy's Rear Support, Theory of the Navy's Command and Control, Theory of Operational, Tactical and Other types of Training, Naval Science. For all the contention reflected in the 'Stalbo debates', then, the participants all agree on a number of key points. This consensus is very likely a product of decisions made in the last half of the 1970s to reshape the Soviet Armed Forces organizationally and theoretically for the sake of better integrating their combined efforts in wartime. One result of this reorganization has been the establishment of a High Command in the Far Eastern TVD.

How portable are these? Do they fold up nicely? I would possibly be buying this for my girlfriend who will be studying abroad this upcoming semester.
|
They do not have folding frames. The earpieces rotate 90 degrees, giving them a slimmer profile, but the frames do not fold like some other headphones do. As far as portability goes, I take these to my college classes by slipping them into one of the thinner pockets of my backpack and it seems to work great. Hope this helps.

I carted this backpack around for two weeks in Scotland in August and it held up very well. It was stuffed in overhead bins, dragged along airport floors, crammed in the overcrowded trunk of the car, and did a good job keeping my stuff from getting mangled. The only thing was it has so many different pockets and nooks to hold things I sometimes had a difficult time remembering where I'd stored a particular item. When full, it also doesn't fit under an airplane seat, so you'll want to make sure it gets a spot overhead.

Why is it important to have a high Fair Play ranking?
|
The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League, and the sixth and seventh-placed teams can also qualify, depending on the winners of the two domestic cup competitions i.e. the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup (League Cup). Two Europa League places are reserved for the winners of each tournament; if the winner of either the FA Cup or League Cup qualifies for the Champions League, then that place will go to the next-best placed finisher in the Premier League. A further place in the UEFA Europa League is also available via the Fair Play initiative. If the Premier League has one of the three highest Fair Play rankings in Europe, the highest ranked team in the Premier League Fair Play standings which has not already qualified for Europe will automatically qualify for the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.

Engagement with the study of whiteness is slow within the discipline of geography despite repeated calls for it to be placed on the research agenda, and regardless of a strong heritage of critical “race” and postcolonial scholarship. This paper considers this reticence, and the problems inherent in Whiteness Studies more generally. It then offers examples from inner Sydney, Australia, that avoid some of the more pressing shortcomings of studying whiteness. By prizing open the essentializing bounds of hegemonic ethnicity, this paper identifies whiteness as context-specific, processural and contestable.

Past studies of racial discrimination in the for-hire sector of the motor carrier industry find that deregulation is an effective tool for mitigating discrimination. These studies argue that regulation provides a refuge from competition that allows employers to discriminate and pass costs on to consumers. Thus, increased competition of deregulation allows less latitude to discriminate. This study reexamines the impact of deregulation on racial employment in the trucking industry. Specifically, micro-data are used to measure and decompose increased minority participation of for-hire drivers following deregulation. The findings of this paper concur that deregulation increased minority participation in the industry. However, the new findings suggest that only a fraction of this increase can be attributed to employers having less latitude to racially discriminate. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 1998

A key implication of Becker’s (1957) work on discrimination is that greater product market competition can reduce employment discrimination generally, and discriminatory wage gaps in particular. Using US data on manufacturing wages and import exposure, we explore whether increased competition, in the form of a heightened exposure to imports, reduces the racial wage gap. Our findings support Becker’s contention. We find that import exposure helped narrow the racial wage gap by about 1.4 percentage points between 1983 and 1993. The effect is especially pronounced among the most disadvantaged: unskilled Southern workers. For them, import exposure helped reduce racial wage disparities by 2.2 percentage points.

Participants (N = 243) were assigned to a 2 (ingroup wealth: rich/poor) × 2 (ingroup power: dominant/ subordinate) × 2 (outgroup target wealth: rich/poor) minimal group study. After personally receiving money depending on their group ascription, participants distributed their personal money to ingroup and outgroup others. Overall, regardless of their wealth or power, participants discriminated against outgroup members. Poor group members discriminated more than rich group members and participants discriminated more when the outgroup was rich than when it was poor. Results suggest that social identity and group interest but not self-interest, explain discriminatory behaviors within wealth and power intergroup structures.

Summary. The purpose of the study was to explore the values London school children hold toward peers with dark as compared to light skin colour. Subjects were coloured and white children aged 10–11. Values were defined as choice or preference behaviour. Preference rankings were obtained using a set of pictures of a child in which all characteristics were held constant except skin colour and the presence or absence of a physical handicap. ::: ::: ::: ::: On the average boys and girls, coloured and white, preferred light to dark skin colour. A coloured child without a physical handicap was liked more than white children with physical handicaps. Various other results were obtained.

ABSTRACT In this paper it is argued that a social theory of disability can best be developed through the use of the concept of oppression. This concept is outlined, and special emphasis is placed on the importance of the social origins of impairment in such an analysis. The ways in which this approach would utilise data gathered from other theoretical perspectives is indicated. General features of a theory of disability as oppression are specified.

Political Mistrust Among African Americans and Support for the Political System
|
Recent research argues that political mistrust among African Americans represents unhappiness with the political system. To date, however, no study has directly examined the influence of black mistrust on support for the system. In this study I show that greater mistrust among blacks leads to greater support for change in the party and electoral systems. I also find evidence of inter-racial differences in the influence of mistrust on support for the political system. These findings have implications for our understanding of the nature of political trust and add to a growing literature demonstrating the political consequences of mistrust in government.

As momentum grows for immigration reform, Audie Cornish takes a look back in time at another moment when the country was grappling with its immigrant population. In the early 1900s, the Dillingham Commission was mandated by Congress to undertake a massive study of immigrants. We take a look at the 1911 report with Senate Associate Historian Betty Koed. Its conclusions led the country to prioritize certain immigrants over others. We explore how those findings still reverberate today with Richard Alba, a professor of sociology who has spent decades studying the immigrant experience.

The Stigma of Mental Illness in Communities of Color

A new study published by the National Institutes of Health says almost half of all Americans will develop some form of mental illness during their lifetime and that many of those diagnosed first experience symptoms during their adolescent years. But in communities of color, the numbers may be more devastating because of the stigma involved. Ed Gordon discusses the issue with Briget Thompson, whose mother suffered from depression and committed suicide six years ago. Also joining the conversation is Dr. Alvin Poussaint of the Judge Baker Children's Center at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass.

What does social anthropology help develop an understanding of?
|
Sociocultural anthropology draws together the principle axes of cultural anthropology and social anthropology. Cultural anthropology is the comparative study of the manifold ways in which people make sense of the world around them, while social anthropology is the study of the relationships among persons and groups. Cultural anthropology is more related to philosophy, literature and the arts (how one's culture affects experience for self and group, contributing to more complete understanding of the people's knowledge, customs, and institutions), while social anthropology is more related to sociology and history. in that it helps develop understanding of social structures, typically of others and other populations (such as minorities, subgroups, dissidents, etc.). There is no hard-and-fast distinction between them, and these categories overlap to a considerable degree.

After the Civil War, racial segregation forced African Americans to share more of a common lot in society than they might have given widely varying ancestry, educational and economic levels. The binary division altered the separate status of the traditionally free people of color in Louisiana, for instance, although they maintained a strong Louisiana Créole culture related to French culture and language, and practice of Catholicism. African Americans began to create common cause—regardless of their multiracial admixture or social and economic stratification. In 20th-century changes, during the rise of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, the African-American community increased its own pressure for people of any portion of African descent to be claimed by the black community to add to its power.

What did the merging of superstitious beliefs and scientific ones regarding group differences produce?
|
From the 17th through 19th centuries, the merging of folk beliefs about group differences with scientific explanations of those differences produced what one scholar has called an "ideology of race". According to this ideology, races are primordial, natural, enduring and distinct. It was further argued that some groups may be the result of mixture between formerly distinct populations, but that careful study could distinguish the ancestral races that had combined to produce admixed groups. Subsequent influential classifications by Georges Buffon, Petrus Camper and Christoph Meiners all classified "Negros" as inferior to Europeans. In the United States the racial theories of Thomas Jefferson were influential. He saw Africans as inferior to Whites especially in regards to their intellect, and imbued with unnatural sexual appetites, but described Native Americans as equals to whites.

Magic was practiced widely, and these too, were a continuation from earlier times. Throughout the Hellenistic world, people would consult oracles, and use charms and figurines to deter misfortune or to cast spells. Also developed in this era was the complex system of astrology, which sought to determine a person's character and future in the movements of the sun, moon, and planets. Astrology was widely associated with the cult of Tyche (luck, fortune), which grew in popularity during this period.

What did white males feel was happening to them as a result of affirmative action?
|
Frederick Lynch, the author of Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action, did a study on white males that said they were victims of reverse discrimination. Lynch explains that these white men felt frustrated and unfairly victimized by affirmative action. Shelby Steele, another author against affirmative action, wanted to see affirmative action go back to its original meaning of enforcing equal opportunity. He argued that blacks had to take full responsibility in their education and in maintaining a job. Steele believes that there is still a long way to go in America to reach our goals of eradicating discrimination.

The contemporary usage of white people or a white race as a large group of (mainly European) populations contrasting with black , colored or non-white originates in the 17th century.hite Americans made up nearly 90% of the population in 1950. One-third of Americans classified as white in a study contained between two and twenty percent African genetic admixture, which can be extrapolated to about 74 million whites in America with this admixture.

Was the practce behind the meaning of the Mary inception festivals taught at Universities of theology ?
|
Popular opinion remained firmly behind the celebration of Mary's conception. In 1439, the Council of Basel, which is not reckoned an ecumenical council, stated that belief in the immaculate conception of Mary is in accord with the Catholic faith. By the end of the 15th century the belief was widely professed and taught in many theological faculties, but such was the influence of the Dominicans, and the weight of the arguments of Thomas Aquinas (who had been canonised in 1323 and declared "Doctor Angelicus" of the Church in 1567) that the Council of Trent (1545–63)—which might have been expected to affirm the doctrine—instead declined to take a position.

RevisiónDepósito pulmonar de partículas inhaladasDeposition of Inhaled Particles in the Lungs
|
Inhaled medication is the first-line treatment of diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Its effectiveness is related to the amount of drug deposited beyond the oropharyngeal region, the place where the deposit occurs and its distribution (uniform or not). It is also important to consider the size of the inhaled particles, the breathing conditions, the geometry of the airways and the mucociliary clearance mechanisms. ::: ::: Currently, mathematical models are being applied to describe the deposition of inhaled drugs based on the size of the particles, the inspiratory flow and the anatomical distribution of the bronchial tree. The deposition of particles in the small airways gets maximum attention from pharmaceutical companies and is of great interest as it is related with a better control in patients receiving these drugs.

Pelotas is a city in the extreme south of Brazil, near the border of Uruguay, with 214 000 urban inhabitants in 1982. At the time, we were assistant professors, each working in one of the two medical schools in the city, and both undergoing post-graduate training at the University of London. We were inspired by the findings of the British perinatal study, and one of us (FCB) decided to do a similar study for his doctoral thesis. The lack of reliable data on perinatal mortality in Brazil, due to poor registration of births and deaths—particularly stillbirths— justified the launch of the study. Funding from the International Development Research Center (Canada) was obtained for the perinatal survey, which led to FCB’s PhD thesis. 1,2

Stepping Stones to Others’ Minds: Maternal Talk Relates to Child Mental State Language and Emotion Understanding at 15, 24, and 33 Months
|
This continuation of a previous study (Taumoepeau & Ruffman, 2006) examined the longitudinal relation between maternal mental state talk to 15- and 24-month-olds and their later mental state language and emotion understanding (N= 74). The previous study found that maternal talk about the child’s desires to 15-month-old children uniquely predicted children’s mental state language and emotion task performance at 24 months. In the present study, at 24 months of age, mothers’ reference to others’ thoughts and knowledge was the most consistent predictor of children’s later mental state language at 33 months. Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development provides a framework within which maternal talk, first, about the child’s desires and then about others’ thoughts and knowledge scaffolds children’s social understanding.

We develop a tractable dynamic model of collateralized lending in which the degree of adverse selection evolves endogenously due to moral hazard. We use this model to study how government interventions designed to boost liquidity in frozen markets af- fect private incentives to maintain high-quality assets. We show that small interventions can lead to “intervention traps” – expectations concerning future interventions destroy private incentives to improve the quality of collateral, which stunts recovery and war- rants continued market intervention – even when they restore market liquidity. Bigger interventions may lead to faster recoveries, and it may be efficient to continue to inter- vene even after market liquidity is restored. This runs counter to previous findings in static environments where it is optimal to keep interventions as small as possible, and to intervene only when markets are illiquid.

We use a structural econometric model to provide empirical evidence that safety nets in the banking industry lead to additional risk taking. To identify the moral hazard effect of bailout expectations on bank risk, we exploit the fact that regional political factors explain bank bailouts but not bank risk. The sample includes all observed capital preservation measures and distressed exits in the German banking industry during 1995--2006. A change of bailout expectations by two standard deviations increases the probability of official distress from 6.6% to 9.4%, which is economically significant. The Author 2012.

Therapeutic approaches to traumatized Cambodian refugees
|
The treatment of severely traumatized Cambodian refugees is a difficult task. Through an understanding of the patient's culture and the posttraumatic stress disorder, the author recommends several treatment approaches. These include: supportive long-term therapy, case management, reinforcing traditional values, socialization group therapy, and specific medication. Through a sensitive, flexible approach, the Western practitioner can greatly reduce the suffering of these patients.

This article examines which public programmes and which socio-economic development indicators have had an impact on contraceptive practices and fertility in a selected group of villages in Comilla district of Bangladesh. It finds that equitable even-handed development may be a good contraceptive but is not a realistic alternative to family planning effort....This research undertaken in 1985 replicates a similar knowledge attitudes and practice (KAP) type study undertaken in these same villages some 20 years earlier in 1967/68....Thus the two studies provide a unique look at demographic behavioural characteristics when these agricultural development programmes were in an early stage and then 20 years later.

Abstract The paper is concerned with a reduced SIR model for migrant workers. By using differential inequality technique and a novel argument, we derive a set of conditions to ensure that the endemic equilibrium of the model is globally exponentially stable. The obtained results complement with some existing ones. We also use numerical simulations to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Postpartum concerns: a study of Tanzanian mothers.
|
Maternal and child health services in Tanzania have succeeded in implementing health care strategies to improve the health of children under 5 years of age. However, health care for childbearing women has not been a focus (Government of the United Republic of Tanzania/UNICEF, 1990). We examined what Tanzanian women perceive as concerns during the early postpartum period. A card sort was used with 50 primiparas and 50 multiparas from the Dar-es-Salaam urban area. Primiparas had significantly more worries and interests than did multiparas. Multiparas had significantly more confidence than primiparas had. Findings correspond to those of studies conducted on North American populations, suggesting that early postpartum concerns may be cross-cultural.

Pregnancy outcome for adolescents receiving prenatal care by nurse practitioners in extended roles.
|
The outcome of teenage pregnancy when managed in a specialized antenatal program resembles the patterns associated with young adults rather than the outcomes of teenagers in a general clinic. Based on a recent University of California study, this seems to result from three major factors: early prenatal care, nursing management in primary care, and special and consistent emphasis on adequate nutrition. Outcomes were significantly enhanced regarding infant weight and gestational age scoring, 1-and 5-minute Apgar scores, fewer intensive care admissions, and shorter hospital stays when compared to the general clinic experience.

The main goal of the paper is to analyze changes in the spatial structure of industry in the Malopolska region. In particular, the research focuses on industrial change in the period of European integration and during economic crisis. On the basis of the analysis, it was showed that the spatial structure of industry is characterized by stability and has not changed in recent years. However, industrial dispersal and industrial development in the outer zone of the Cracow Metropolitan Area was observed. The Cracow Metropolitan Area, western parts of the region, and a few cities, e.g. Tarnow, Nowy Sącz and Gorlice, are still the most industrialised areas of the Malopolska region.

The proportion of women who withdraw from paid employment when they have children differs considerably among the countries of the European Union (EU), and the variation has mostly been attributed to institutional factors. In this study, we reassess the institutional explanation, because earlier supportive evidence is threatened by two alternative macro-level explanations: the influence of the economic necessity to work and the influence of gender role values in society. Our main research question is whether and to what extent these alternative explanations alter the effect of public childcare arrangements on mothers’ labour supply. Using panel data from 13 countries of the EU, we find evidence in favour of the institutional and economic explanations. In countries with more generous provision of public childcare and in countries with a lower level of economic welfare, the impact of childbirth on female labour supply is less negative than in other countries. Economic welfare appears to suppress rather than ...

Comprehensive Newborn Care: a Bibliometric Literature Review RevIew
|
Objective: To analyse the scientific production of comprehensive newborn health care in primary care. Method: A bibliometric study with a quantitative approach using a sample consisting of 27 studies (two from the Virtual Health Library and 25 from PUBMED) published between 2005 and 2015. Results: The highest number of publications on this subject were published in 2010, and the country with the most publications was the United States. Comprehensive newborn care was summarised and presented in the form of a concept map. Conclusions: The bibliometric indicators showed that perinatal care must be provided in primary care; however, there were gaps in the scientific literature regarding approaches related to this care. This work is expected to contribute by increasing health professionals' understanding of comprehensive newborn care by disseminating scientific production and promoting discussion on the subject, thereby reducing child mortality.
