Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are essential minerals for skeletal health and development and for many biological processes in poultry. However, the relationship between Ca and P is complex and multifactorial. Studies presented in this thesis investigated three aspects of the Ca and P relationship, in order to improve growth performance, mineral digestibility and maintain and/or improve skeletal health. The first strategy investigated replacing dietary limestone with a highly soluble calcium source on growth performance, mineral digestibility and skeletal health. The second strategy, investig

Abstract:
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is often associated with lumbar spinal instability (LSI). The multifidus muscle is considered a stabilizer of the spine and has been studied extensively with Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI). There may be a relationshipbetween clinical signs of LSI, decreased cross-sectional area (CSA) of the multifidus and weakness. Having the ability to detect multifidus weakness without the use of RUSI may serve to be invaluable to the clinician in detecting multifidus weakness.Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the modified prone straight leg raise test

Proximal arm muscles include supra and infra spinatii, pectoralis major and minor, teres major and minor, rhomboids, serratus anterior, deltoids, biceps, and triceps. The main function of these muscles is to lift the arms. The first sign of proximal weakness is difficulty in raising the arms above a horizontal level. Shoulder conditions like supraspinatus tendonitis are often confused as proximal weakness. In myopathies, usually proximal arm weakness is associated with proximal leg weakness.

A theoretical analysis and measurements on a technical prototype show a high stiffness ratio between adduction and flexion-extension of the leg, and minimal shear forces from the orthosis on the human body while staying close to the human body.

Peripheral neuropathy (PN), commonly caused by diabetes mellitus, is a debilitating condition that currently affects approximately 20 million Americans. Chronic symptoms of PN often involve pain and weakness of the lower limbs, with eventual sensation loss on the plantar surfaces of the feet. According to epidemiological studies, reduced foot sole sensation has been linked to decreased standing stability [1] and an increased risk of falling [2]. Consequently, cost-effective interventions are needed to improve balance and mobility in this population. A growing body of research suggests that vib

Jamaica's fiscal and debt position has long been recognized as a major issue for the country, and the country has made several attempts to resolve this challenge by increasing revenue or reducing expenditures. Despite these adjustments, Jamaica has systematically failed to achieve its budget targets.

In contrast, the limitation in reducing rigid recurrent expenditures -mostly interest and wage salary payments- has led to the introduction of measures aimed a

Operationalizing a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) framework to process data gathered from an adapted diagnostic toolkit entitled "Women-Owned Businesses in Cross-border E-commerce: a Diagnostic Toolkit," this study reveals that regional and national policy landscapes have put utmost interest in promoting and fostering an enabling environment for women-led micro, small, and medium enterprises and digitalization. However, there are gaps in public-private sector coordination, access to enabling and support programs such as financing and capacity building, awareness due t

Abstract:
This paper evaluates the appropriateness of the tax policymaking process that led to the introduction, and the later adaptation, of a tax on mobile money transactions in Uganda in 2018. We examine the unusual source of the proposal, how this particular tax diverged from the usual tax policymaking process, and whether certain key stakeholders were excluded. We argue that weaknesses in the tax policymaking process undermined the quality of policy design, and resulted in a period of costly, and avoidable, policy adjustment. This case study is relevant for Uganda as well as for other low-income co

Abstract:
In Benin, more than 40% of the workforce depends on the agricultural sector, which is vital for the economy and livelihoods. Food security and nutrition (FSN) policies are therefore crucial for driving the country’s development. The study highlights the diversity of evidence types within this ecosystem, with relatively dynamic research production, but data that is often scarce and of poor quality. These weaknesses make research less usable for decision-makers, who tend to favor information from trusted sources, such as citizen and expert knowledge, rather than research data. Intermediaries pla

This briefing paper draws from research done as part of ENGAGE Work Package 8 ‘Engaging with the EU’s Neighbourhoods’, which analyses how the EU has engaged with the neighbouring countries in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy (the ENP). Launched in 2003 to increase the prosperity, stability and security of countries in the EU’s neighbourhood and to support their political, economic and institutional reforms, we find that the ENP proved to be a rather technocratic, de-securitised policy, hindered by it being separate rather than an integral part of EU’s Common Foreign and Securit

Full text
Abstract:
Between the end of 2015 and mid-2016, Argentina enacted a new renewable energy (RE) promotion regime and launched the so-called RenovAr Program, a public plan that aimed to increase the development of RE generation projects through a series of international bids for power capacity. The proposed goal was to move from 2% RE generation of the total Argentina’s energy mix in 2015, to 20% by 2025. The RenovAr Program, along with RE promotion policies, succeeded in tripling RE generation capacity by 2019. However, over the last years the pace of new RE capacity incorporation has significantly slowed

Full text
Abstract:
Fiscal policy in Latin America has been historically imprudent and continues to be viewed with skepticism. At the same time, most countries have remained out of trouble for several years and were able to successfully conduct proactive countercyclical fiscal policy to fight the Great Recession, a historical first. This paper examines the last decade to assess progress, highlight weaknesses, and chart the way forward. The paper looks at structural fiscal balances, filtering out the business cycle and commodity price fluctuations to assess prudent fiscal policy concerning cyclical management and

Abstract:
This evaluation examines the IDB's Country Program with Guatemala for the 2008-2011 period. The assessment shows very positive results in terms of the program's relevance, consistency, and positioning. Delays in loan authorization by Guatemala's legislative branch may have diminished IDB's effectiveness, as the assistance program missed potential inter-related synergies between the program's different components. Despite some delays in project authorization and execution, OVE was able to document positive results from the Mi Familia Progresa program and from projects approved under previous st

Abstract:
Emergency Relief (ER) is a Department of Social Services (DSS) funded program, delivered by 197 community organisations (ER Providers) across Australia, to assist people facing a financial crisis with financial/material aid and referrals to other support programs. ER has been playing this important role in Australian communities since 1979. Without ER, more people living in Australia who experience a financial crisis might face further harm such as crippling debt or homelessness. The Emergency Relief National Coordination Group (NCG) was established in April 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 p
