Why Will Investment In Clean Energy Technology At The Household Level In Nepal Offer Co-Benefits For Global Climate And Local People’S Health?, Amod K. Pokhrel, Biswo Poudel Oct 2008

Why Will Investment In Clean Energy Technology At The Household Level In Nepal Offer Co-Benefits For Global Climate And Local People’S Health?, Amod K. Pokhrel, Biswo Poudel

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

In its fourth assessment report (most recent), the world’s most authoritative voice on climate change, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel and Climate Change (IPPC), has loudly and clearly said that warming of the earth’s climate is “unequivocal,” and human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, is a major cause.‡ IPCC scientists now accept that if the trend of anthropogenic emission continues, earth's average temperature could rise 1.5 to 6 degrees Celsius or higher by 2100. There is already evidence of increases in average temperatures of air and oceans around the world. For example, years 1995-2006 have had 11 of …


Determinants Of Familiarity Of Infant And Maternal Health Care Facilities Among Pregnant Women And Mothers In Some Selected Rural Areas Of Nepal, Vijaya R. Sharma, Tirshana Sharma Oct 2008

Determinants Of Familiarity Of Infant And Maternal Health Care Facilities Among Pregnant Women And Mothers In Some Selected Rural Areas Of Nepal, Vijaya R. Sharma, Tirshana Sharma

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

It can be argued that the demand for services of a health care facility is a function of level of familiarity with the facility. In the proposed paper we intend to examine the determinants of level of familiarity of infant and maternal health care facilities among pregnant women and mothers in some selected rural areas of Nepal, especially the role of formal schooling and informal education in a society.

Heritage Conservation In Nepal: Policies, Stakeholders And Challenges, Neel Kamal Chapagain Oct 2008

Heritage Conservation In Nepal: Policies, Stakeholders And Challenges, Neel Kamal Chapagain

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

The complications and “failure” of management of world heritage sites in Kathmandu valley was criticized by UNESCO, which had warned to take these sites off the World Heritage Sites list. Though the warning has been positively resolved now, the complication of heritage management still exists, not only in Kathmandu valley but in other places as well. Often the underlined conservation approach in these policies is contested by residents of heritage zones. One aspect of my ongoing research analyzes the consequences of influence of international conservation movements on the heritage conservation policy in Nepal.


Natural Disaster And Sickness Shocks: Evidence Of Informal Insurance, Pallab Mozumder Oct 2008

Natural Disaster And Sickness Shocks: Evidence Of Informal Insurance, Pallab Mozumder

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Based on multiple rounds of household survey data from rural Bangladesh collected after the 1998 flooding, this paper investigates the factors that contribute to reducing sickness shocks after a massive natural disaster. Of particular interest, we take advantage of the well-known joint liability scheme of microfinance programs offered by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to investigate if such a scheme reduces sickness shocks after a major natural disaster.


Socio-Economic Impacts Of Rural Road Development In South Asia, Ben Briese Oct 2008

Socio-Economic Impacts Of Rural Road Development In South Asia, Ben Briese

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Using a holistic approach, this paper examines societal changes in agriculture, migration, health, education, environment and culture, to assemble a comprehensive picture of change caused by road development projects in these affected rural societies. Preliminary findings show that as modern forms of transportation become more available and convenient, traditional forms of transportation inextricably linked to community culture and heritage, such as horses, are rapidly replaced.

The U.S. Economic Crisis And A Revised New Jobs Tax Credit, Timothy J. Bartik Oct 2008

The U.S. Economic Crisis And A Revised New Jobs Tax Credit, Timothy J. Bartik

Upjohn Institute Policy Papers

An efficacious economic stimulus to help the U.S. economy recover from its current recession is the revival of the New Jobs Tax Credit. Unlike the original credit utilized by the federal government in 1977– 1978, the new version should be a refundable credit but at a lower current dollar value. My 2001 book, Jobs for the Poor: Can Labor Demand Policies Help? proposed a permanent version f the New Jobs Tax Credit that would be automatically triggered when the unemployment rate is high. My estimates, updated to 2008, suggest that such a revised credit might increase aggregate U.S. employment by …

Revisiting Feminism: Who’S Afraid Of The F Word?, Delia D. Aguilar Oct 2008

Revisiting Feminism: Who’S Afraid Of The F Word?, Delia D. Aguilar

Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

"While preparing for today I discovered that I had already used the 'F' word in a panel presentation at Sarah Lawrence College almost 15 years ago. This was something I had completely forgotten. But that time I was questioning feminism itself: what’s wrong with the 'F' word?"

The Use Of Healing Touch In Adults With Hepatitis C Virus Receiving Interferon And Ribavirin: A Pilot Study, Margaret Ann Taylor Phd, Msn, Cns, Htcp/I Oct 2008

The Use Of Healing Touch In Adults With Hepatitis C Virus Receiving Interferon And Ribavirin: A Pilot Study, Margaret Ann Taylor Phd, Msn, Cns, Htcp/I

Dissertations

In the United States, an estimated 3.2 million individuals are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) the nation's most common chronic blood-borne viral infection. The number of deaths from HCV was predicted to triple within the next two decades. The most effective treatment for HCV is a combination of interferon and ribavirin; however, as many as 92% of patients experienced fatigue as a side effect. The severity of this symptom caused some patients to skip dosages or even stop the required medication regimen before it was completed. The primary purpose of this pilot study was to test the feasibility of …

Ovarian Development In Mice Requires The Gata4-Fog2 Transcription Complex, Nikolay L. Manuylov, Fatima O. Smagulova, Lyndsay Leach, Sergei G. Tevosian Oct 2008

Ovarian Development In Mice Requires The Gata4-Fog2 Transcription Complex, Nikolay L. Manuylov, Fatima O. Smagulova, Lyndsay Leach, Sergei G. Tevosian

Dartmouth Scholarship

We have demonstrated previously that mammalian sexual differentiation requires both the GATA4 and FOG2 transcriptional regulators to assemble the functioning testis. Here we have determined that the sexual development of female mice is profoundly affected by the loss of GATA4-FOG2 interaction. We have also identified the Dkk1 gene, which encodes a secreted inhibitor of canonical beta-catenin signaling, as a target of GATA4-FOG2 repression in the developing ovary. The tissue-specific ablation of the beta-catenin gene in the gonads disrupts female development. In Gata4(ki/ki); Dkk1(-/-) or Fog2(-/-); Dkk1(-/-) embryos, the normal ovarian gene expression pattern is partially restored. Control of ovarian development …
