Community Health Sciences

Objectives: Antibodies to dengue viruses have occasionally been reported in individuals in Pakistan, but the frequency of occurrence of dengue infection in Pakistan is unclear.

In October 1995, the authors investigated an outbreak of a febrile illness among employees of a construction contractor at a power generation plant in Baluchistan, Pakistan, to determine the cause of illness and recommend appropriate preventive measures.Methods: The work site and living arrangements were inspected, a questionnaire was administered, and serum samples were collected from all consenting contractor employees and their families if …

Keeping The Wto From Becoming The "World Trans-Science Organization": Scientific Uncertainty, Science Policy, And Factfinding In The Growth Hormones Dispute, Vern R. Walker

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In Part I of the Article, I analyze the relevant provisions of the SPS Agreement. In that context, I examine the distinction between risk assessment and risk management, as well as the concepts of scientific uncertainty and science policy. Part II sets forth my proposal for how the WTO should review the sanitary measures established by members. The focus of attention is the fact-finding process in dispute settlement proceedings and, in particular, the substantive issues that should come before a panel, the evidence that a panel should consider, and the proper standard and burdens of proof. Finally, in Part III, …

Family Planning Clinic Characteristics And Their Influence On Contraceptive Behavior And Pregnancy Rates In Alabama, 1994-1996, Margaret Beatrice Snively

All ETDs from UAB

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) whether characteristics of Alabama's Title X family planning clinics influenced birth, abortion, and pregnancy rates of adult women, teenagers and all women; and (2) if there was an effect, whether it was through the intervening variables of client contraceptive behavior. Methods. Measures for clinic access and quality were obtained primarily from administrative reports and billing records routinely collected by the Alabama Department of Public Health for 1993-1995, using 65 of Alabama's counties as the units of analysis. Outcomes were county birth, abortion, and pregnancy rates for 1994-1996. Linear regression was …

Eye Health Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People: Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Health Reviews: Number 1, Neil Thomson, Beverley Paterson Jan 1998

Eye Health Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People: Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Health Reviews: Number 1, Neil Thomson, Beverley Paterson

Research outputs pre 2011

As with many other aspects of health status, it is most probable that prior to the European settlement of Australia in 1788 the eye health of Australian Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders was excellent. In fact. their eye health was almost certainly better than that of Europeans of the time. There are no definite data from early post-settlement times, but this conclusion appears reasonable from the results of a number of thorough surveys conducted as late as the 1940s and 1950s ( 1-4) Despite finding some severe preventable problems, particularly trachoma (a form of infective conjunctivitis - see Appendix l …

Wetland Vegetation Monitoring, 1998 Survey: Gnangara Wetlands, N. E. Pettit, R. H. Froend

Research outputs pre 2011

Water regimes, both groundwater and surface water components dil'ectly effect distribution, health and species composition of wetland fringing vegetation. In the area of the northern Swan Coastal Plain overlying the Gnangara groundwater mound, wetland water levels and therefore the vegetation can be intimately connected to underlying groundwater levels. The Water Corporation (formerly Water Authority of Western Australia) has been drawing water from the Gnangara mound for domestic water supply for a number of years. The main objective of this study is to monitor the changes in the vegetation fringing these wetlands and to determine if this is related to changes …

Aiswa Literacy Project B P-3 Assessment : Teachers Developing Effective Literacy Assessment Strategies, Judith Rivalland

Research outputs pre 2011

This project originated from recommendations from Phase 1 in the development of the National Literacy Plan for the Association of Independent Schools. These recommendations included the need for a systematic approach to literacy assessment and teaching. The current project aimed to address this situation. The primary purposes of the project were: to explore how teachers can best improve outcomes for children by understanding assessment measures more effectively; to provide time for reflection and discussion about what participating teachers find out from using the assessment procedures; to explore how this knowledge will help teachers select appropriate teaching for all children, particularly …

Pliocene And Pleistocene Marine Ostracoda Of The Limon Basin, Costa Rica: A Record Of Paleoenvironmental Change., Pamela Frances Borne Jan 1998

Pliocene And Pleistocene Marine Ostracoda Of The Limon Basin, Costa Rica: A Record Of Paleoenvironmental Change., Pamela Frances Borne

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Late Pliocene (3.8-3.6 Ma) and early Pleistocene (1.5-0.9 Ma) marine ostracodes of the Rio Banano, Quebrada Chocolate and Moin Formations (Limon Group) provide a detailed paleoenvironmental record for the Limon Basin, Costa Rica. The marine ostracode assemblages recovered from the Limon region do not provide evidence that the tropics cooled dramatically during the late Pliocene when the Northern Hemisphere was entering the Modern Ice Age. Paleoenvironmental interpretations are based on cluster analyses and a modern tropical ostracode analog analysis. Diverse ostracode assemblages of the middle Pliocene Rio Banano Formation are dominated by genera typical of the inner to middle neritic …
