Environmental Attitude And Water Treatment Behavior Of Residents Of Kathmandu Valley, Hari Katuwal, Mona K. Qassim, Jose Pagan, Alok K. Bohara

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

This paper tries to assess a correlation between the ever increasing environmental awareness and attitude and its practical consequences in influencing the household behavior in dealing with the treatment of drinking water. The paper uses a two-equation system and the fullinformation maximum likelihood method to jointly estimate the water treatment decision equation and the environmental attitude equation. In addition, the paper looks at the role of media’s public health awareness campaign in changing the household behavior. Preliminary results indicate that the environmental attitude and the media both play an important role to affect the household's decision to treat drinking water.

Looking For Stability: Holistic Policy Analysis In Light Of Rapid Development Among Kham Tibetan Herding Groups, J. Marc Foggin, Jared Phillips

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

In efforts to improve people’s standard of living and to prevent serious ecological degradation, government has recently enacted at least 14 different policies that have had, and are likely to have, immense consequences for the Kham Tibetan people’s way of life. Unfortunately, there are often unforeseen, unintended consequences to such widespread and rapid restructuring of society. This paper examines these policies in a holistic fashion, each policy examined independently and in concert with each other; that is, in both a linear and a vertical manner, in order to show how researchers and policy-makers may gain a better grasp about how …

Economic Growth And Human Development In South Asia: Experiences Of Selected Countries, Ranjit Singh Ghuman, Amarjit S. Bhullar

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

The very quality and sustainability of growth, eventually, depends on the human development and vice-versa. There is, no doubt, that the causal relationship between growth and human development needs to be viewed in this spectrum. The daunting challenge of poverty and inequality and the human development may not be addressed only with growth, though growth is a pre-requisite to it. The two-pronged policy recommendation would then be to strengthen the redistributive mechanism and empower the people with quality education and health.

Factors In Health Initiative Success: Learning From Nepal’S Newborn Survival Initiative, Stephanie Smith

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

What determines the success of health initiatives in acquiring sufficient levels of political priority to alleviate significant health problems in low-income countries? We investigate this question in the context of significantly increasing political priority for newborn survival in Nepal since the turn of the century. We use a process-tracing methodology to investigate the causes of this shift, drawing on twentynine interviews with individuals close to newborn health policymaking in Nepal and extensive document analysis.

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

To predict the proper measures to be taken in harmonizing the global health with the emergence of the new influenza virus subtype capable of uncertain pandemic threat, WHO has developed guidelines regarding the preparedness and preventive measures and requires every country to follow the guidelines in formulating national pandemic and response plans plus implementing the measures effectively with regular monitoring.

India’S Poverty Eradication Efforts: Some Vital Questions, Mohd. Saeed Khan, Ghazala Aziz

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Our paper is an attempt to revisit the phenomenon of poverty in India in a non-quantitative way, from its genesis to an evaluation of public policy response to mitigate poverty. Some of the analysis is based on either well-documented facts at the micro level for different States or on our own observations. Some of the data we wanted to use but did not might not be representative of the whole economy. But the questions raised in the paper, we believe, are still relevant.

Personality Assessment As An Indicator Of Success Post High School, Angela Bermudez

Theses

According to a recent article published in the New York Times, although the United

States is successful in enrolling students in colleges and universities, only half graduate with bachelor's degrees. Among wealthy countries, Italy is the only country with a larger dropout rate (Leonhardt, 2009). The results from the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) previously given to undergraduate students from a technical institute in Western New York were analyzed to determine whether there were significant differences between students who were academically dismissed and then admitted into a college restoration program and students who were successfully passing. Perhaps by having …

Simvastatin Enhances Immune Responses To Aβ Vaccination And Attenuates Vaccination-Induced Behavioral Alterations, Jinghong Kou, Hong-Duck Kim, Jingji Jin, Dongfeng Cao, Ling Li, Robert Lalonde, Ken-Ichiro Fukuchi

NYMC Faculty Publications

Statins are widely used to lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis. Some evidence has indicated that statins might have therapeutic and preventive benefits for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We and others also have shown the beneficial effect of statin treatment in reversing learning and memory deficits in animal models of AD. However, data from clinical trials are inconclusive. We previously documented that the adenovirus vector encoding 11 tandem repeats of Aβ1-6 fused to the receptor-binding domain (Ia) of Pseudomonas exotoxin A, AdPEDI-(Aβ1-6)(11), is effective in inducing an immune response against amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and reducing brain Aβ load in Alzheimer's …
