Cleaner Production In Kenyan Small And Medium Enterprises: Prerequisites For Successful Technology Adoption, Evans Kituyi, Martin Marani

East Africa Institute

Results of cleaner production initiatives taken so far in Africa amply justify the benefits of cleaner production (CP). The joint UNIDO-UNEP initiative of establishing National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs) in developing countries have been successful in establishing such centres in Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Tunisia and Morocco. In most of these countries, initial activities have involved demonstration projects such as those funded by DANIDA and NORAD in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. However, experiences in Asian countries such as Thailand and Malaysia have shown that such demonstration projects may not necessarily rise to the original expectation of the multiplication effects of the CP …

Acth4 -10, Substance P, And Dizolcipine (Mk-801) Accelerate Functional Recovery After Hemilabyrinthectomy In Goldfish, Rosana Mattioli, Joseph P. Huston, Richard E. Spieler

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

In this study, we evaluated the goldfish model of hemilabyrinthectomy for investigating potential recovery-promoting drugs. In this lesion model, the unilateral removal of the labyrinth induces a postural imbalance in response to light (Dorsal Light Reflex), from which the animals can recover over time. The behavioral effects of two neuropeptides were tested–namely, of substance P and ACTH4-10, both of which are known to promote functional recovery in several other lesion models. Furthermore, the effect of MK- 801, an antagonist of the glutamatergic NMDAreceptor subtype, was tested because this substance has also been shown to exert a neuroprotective effect. After lesion …

Europe's Evolving Regulatory Strategy For Gmos—The Issue Of Consistency With Wto Law: Of Kine And Brine, Robert L. Howse, Petros C. Mavroidis

Faculty Articles

This Essay deals with one question: If challenged, how would regulatory restrictions on genetically modified organisms (”GMOs”) be judged by a World Trade Organization (”WTO”) adjudicating body. Many of the controversies about the effect of WTO law on domestic regulation have been influenced by the view that the law as it stands may well impede the ability of governments to regulate new and uncertain risks to health and the environment. The result in the Beef Hormones case is often cited for this proposition. In this Essay we aim to show that, contrary to an increasingly widespread popular perception, if WTO …

Commercial Sex: Beyond Decriminalization, Sylvia A. Law

Faculty Articles

This Article argues that: 1) criminal sanctions against people who offer sex for money should be repealed, 2) legal remedies and programs to protect commercial sex workers from violence, rape, disease, exploitation, coercion and abuse should be enhanced and 3) whether or not commercial sex is prohibited by criminal law, government policy should promote decent working conditions for all workers and should not require people to engage in sex as a condition of subsistence. It further addresses how, as a practical matter, people who provide commercial sex can best be protected against exploitation, both physical and economic. This Article demonstrates …

What Do You Do When You Meet A "Walking Violation Of The Sixth Amendment" If You're Trying To Put That Lawyer's Client In Jail?, Vanessa Merton

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

For the purpose of this article, the relevance of my experience as a criminal defense attorney is this: if ever one might expect to find a prosecutor inclined to err on the side of fairness of process and protecting the rights of defendants, it ought to be me. Also, for more than twenty years, I have been something of a professional ethicist--as research fellow, teacher, staff member of an ethics center, chair and/or member of several institutional review boards, pro bono trial counsel to a disciplinary committee, ethics consultant, and expert witness--and, therefore, one might think, especially susceptible to the …

Lawyers, Guns, And Money, Barry E. Adler, Jules Coleman, Arthur Ripstein

Faculty Articles

Gun manufacturer liability for injuries caused to third parties through the misconduct of gun purchasers has become the subject of a heated debate. In the exchange that follows, Professors Barry Adler, Jules Coleman, and Arthur Ripstein join this debate. Adler argues that gun manufacturers should be held liable for injuries to gunshot victims regardless of any moral culpability on the part of the manufacturers. Coleman and Ripstein respond that a standard divorced from culpability improperly ignores the essential role of justice in a tort system.

Essays On The Economics Of Crime And Econometric Methodology: Dissertation Summary, Sean M. May

Dissertation Awards

The research presented in this thesis covers two topics: the economics of crime and econometric methodology. The first chapter addresses the question of whether higher wages reduce teenage crime rates. I exploit exogenous variation in the wages of teenagers resulting from federal minimum wage legislation. The second chapter examines the effect of crime on the labor market outcomes of victims. I use longitudinal data from the National Crime Victimization Survey to estimate the employment-related costs of crime. Estimates suggest that being the victim of a violent crime causes a transitory decline in the employment rates and household income of victims …
