The Economic Cost Of Health Problems Due To Indoor Air Pollution At The Household Level In Tamil Nad, B.P. Chandramohan, T.K.S. Villalan, S. Karthikeyan Sep 2010

The Economic Cost Of Health Problems Due To Indoor Air Pollution At The Household Level In Tamil Nad, B.P. Chandramohan, T.K.S. Villalan, S. Karthikeyan

The use of polluting fuels for cooking poses a major health burden on members of poor households in developing countries. The dependence of biomass is both a cause and consequence of poverty. Reliance on this dirty fuel for cooking can compromise health thereby hold back economic development creating vicious circle of poverty. Traditionally women take the responsibility of cooking and often they carry children on back close to warm hearth, exposed to vulnerable and hazardous pollutants. Since firewood is obtained from various sources, each source implies varied influence on the quantity and quality of fuel used. The use of different …


Explaining Scholarship Addressing Hispanic Children’S Issues, Adolfo G. Santos Sep 2010

Explaining Scholarship Addressing Hispanic Children’S Issues, Adolfo G. Santos

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

The purpose of this essay is to explain the dearth of scholarship in Hispanic and Latino children’s issues. To answer this question, a data set of all the scholarship addressing Hispanic and Latino children was created. This data set was used to test two hypotheses. The first of these is that scholarship on Hispanic children is created by Hispanic scholars. The second is that government incentives lead scholars to produce scholarship. This article will show that interest in Hispanic and Latino children can be explained by the existence of Hispanic and Latino scholars, the size of the Hispanic population and …

New Mechanism For Notch Signaling To Endothelium At A Distance By Delta-Like 4 Incorporation Into Exosomes, H Sheldon, E Heikamp, H Turley, R Dragovic, Et Al Sep 2010

New Mechanism For Notch Signaling To Endothelium At A Distance By Delta-Like 4 Incorporation Into Exosomes, H Sheldon, E Heikamp, H Turley, R Dragovic, Et Al

School of Biomedical Sciences

Notch signaling is an evolutionary conserved pathway that is mediated by cell-cell contact. It is involved in a variety of developmental processes and has an essential role in vascular development and angiogenesis. Delta-like 4 (Dll4) is a Notch ligand that is up-regulated during angiogenesis. It is expressed in endothelial cells and regulates the differentiation between tip cells and stalk cells of neovasculature. Here, we present evidence that Dll4 is incorporated into endothelial exosomes. It can also be incorporated into the exosomes of tumor cells that overexpress Dll4. These exosomes can transfer the Dll4 protein to other endothelial cells and incorporate …

Poverty, Educational Attainment And Health Among America’S Children: Current And Future Effects Of Population Diversification And Associated Socioeconomic Change, Steve Murdock, Mary Zey, Michael E. Cline, Stephen Klineberg

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

A complex of interrelated factors including minority status, poverty, education, health status, and other factors determine the general welfare of children in America, particularly in heavily diverse states such as Texas. Although racial/ethnic status is clearly only a concomitant factor in that determination it is a factor for which future projections are available and for which the relationships with the other factors in the complex can be assessed. After examining the nature of the interrelationships between these factors we utilize direct standardization techniques to examine how the future diversification of the United States and Texas will affect the number of …


Physical Activity In Latino Children: Research And Its Implications, Norma Olvera Ph.D., Stephanie F. Kellam, Kara Menefee, Jay Lee, Dennis W. Smith Sep 2010

Physical Activity In Latino Children: Research And Its Implications, Norma Olvera Ph.D., Stephanie F. Kellam, Kara Menefee, Jay Lee, Dennis W. Smith

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Childhood obesity affects children across all ages and genders. However, Latino children and adolescents are at an increased risk, with one out of three Latino children (ages 2-19) being classified as overweight. Physical inactivity is deemed a major factor contributing to the energy imbalance that leads to excess adiposity. The aims of this study are twofold: 1) to present relevant research regarding Latino children’s physical patterns, influences on their physical activity, and interventions designed to promote physical activity and fitness in this population; and 2) to discuss implications derived from this research to help health educators, practitioners, and policy makers …


Ethnic Minority Children’S Active Commuting To School And Association With Physical Activity And Pedestrian Safety Behaviors, Jason A. Mendoza, Kathy Watson, Tom Baranowski, Theresa A. Nicklas, Doris K. Uscanga, Nga Nguyen, Marcus J. Hanfling Sep 2010

Ethnic Minority Children’S Active Commuting To School And Association With Physical Activity And Pedestrian Safety Behaviors, Jason A. Mendoza, Kathy Watson, Tom Baranowski, Theresa A. Nicklas, Doris K. Uscanga, Nga Nguyen, Marcus J. Hanfling

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Background: Children's active commuting to school, i.e. walking or cycling to school, was associated with greater moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, although studies among ethnic minorities are sparse. Objectives: Among a low-income, ethnic minority sample of fourth grade students from eight public schools, we examined (1) correlates of active commuting to school and (2) the relationship between active commuting to school and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline measurements from a sample of participants (n=149) aged 9-12 years from a walk to school intervention study in Houston, Texas. The primary outcome was the weekly rate of active …

Latino Teen Pregnancy In Texas: Prevalence, Prevention, And Policy, Susan R. Tortolero, Belinda F. Hernandez, Paula M. Cuccaro, Melissa F. Peskin, Christine M. Markham, Ross Shegog

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Texas is home to over one million Latino teens who are at risk for negative reproductive health outcomes, such as teen pregnancy and STIs. Teen pregnancy disproportionately impacts the health of Latino teens in Texas and places them at risk of continued high rates of poverty, school dropout, and unemployment unless Texas makes a concerted effort to reduce its teen pregnancy rate. The birth rate among Latina girls is astonishing: 98 per 1000 Latinas (aged 15-19) are giving birth. This translates to over 32,000 births each year among Latina teens, costing almost $98 million in direct medical expenditures and well …

Commentary On Olvera Et Al.’S Article Entitled, “Physical Activity In Latino Children: Research And Its Implications”, Richard R. Suminski

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

The following is a commentary on an article discussing physical activity in Latino children. It is clear that research is needed to determine the causes of inactivity and develop effective strategies for promoting physical activity in this population. Approaches involving numerous community entities (faith-based, businesses) and the implementation of policies that enhance physical activity participation appear very promising.

Impact Of Industrial Environment On Socio-Economic Conditions Of Mine Workers: A Study Of Coal Industries In Odisha, Abhaya K. Naik, Krupasindh Pradhan

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Mining in India has an ancient origin and mining industry occupies a special position in the countrys economy. The development of this industry is undoubtedly a milestone in the field of industrial development of the country. The mining industry has special features: the work is hazardous and the mining community living in relatively isolation from the rest of the population. First steps in the mining of coal in modern India may be said to have been taken during the thirties of 18th century. Among the minerals, coal-' the black diamond', as a generator of 80% of the steam and thermal …
