Abstract:
The Interrelationship among Maternal Infection, Folate and Vitamin B12 Status, and Offspring Growth in Indigenous Panamanians. In Panama, the rates of vitamin B12 deficiency for Indigenous mothers pre- and post-natal are 85% and 46%, respectively, whereas, the rates of folate deficiency pre- and post-natal are 46% and 31%, respectively. Vitamin B12 and folate status, therefore, are public health concerns in this indigenous population. White blood cell indices and a wide range of infection markers emerged as factors associated with the serum concentrations of these two micronutrients. Although

Abstract:
Reforestation is being considered as a mitigation option to help combat the climate change predicted to result from atmospheric carbon dioxide pollution. Forestry-based carbon storage projects are being introduced in many tropical countries, and assessment of species-specific carbon storage potentials is made difficult by a lack of species-level information. This study focuses on teak (Tectona grandis), to measure many of the characteristics affecting the carbon storage potential both of the trees themselves and of the plantations they are in.

A baseline survey of 595 indigenous preschool children in the Bocas del Toro region of Panama showed high rates of stunting (61%) and nematode infection (Ascaris 79.5%, Trichuris 19%).

Abstract:
The concept of the double in literature has long enjoyed controversy. Originally, its purpose was to function purely as a comic device or to create an atmosphere conducive to the theme of mistaken identity. As the artistic and social milieu changed, the double came to embody unconscious desire in the form of a projected second self. Although its popularity as a theme seems to have waned in recent times, the double has re-emerged with a new twist as it has moved into the realm of postmodernism.

These services are the direct and indirect benefits received by the population in the form of food, raw materials, nutrient cycling, and disaster regulation.

Amphibian populations around the world have been declining rapidly over the past two decades, particularly in upland regions of the neotropics, where a fungal pathogen that causes chytridiomycosis has decimated many regions.

In reaction to Colombian neglect, the white mercantile elite of the nineteenth century had attempted to 'civilize' the Isthmus by connecting itself to an outside power. The oligarchy had hoped to build an interoceanic route and assure its social position in an Afro-mestizo society.

abstract: Although pragmatic analyses based on empirical data have been conducted throughout most of the Spanish-speaking world, Central America remains the most underrepresented region. This study examines the pragmatic strategies used by female Spanish speakers of Nicaragua and Panama in an advice-giving context. The data consists of eighteen role-plays recorded in Masaya, Nicaragua and Panama City, Panama in June and July of 2011. In the role-play situation, the interlocutor (fixed-role) requests advice from the participant, her best friend, regarding a serious issue in her marriage. The pa

Graduation date: 2006<br>I examined the avian biogeography of the islands of Lago Gatun, Panama, in an effort to better understand the effects of forest fragmentation in this biodiverse region, and specifically to understand the importance of fragment isolation and the mechanism behind its effects on tropical bird distribution. I combined exhaustive surveys of 29 islands with an experimental release program. Analyses of these data were conducted in a hierarchical fashion to evaluate evidence for avian dispersal limitation at multiple scales. First, I assessed the potential roles of area and

A clear example, the economies of scale, basically defined as a reduction in costs by an increase in size, have caused significant transformations in the shipping industry. This was perhaps the main reason for the expansion of the Panama Canal. Without the execution of the expansion project, it is highly probable that the Panama Canal which has been operating with a new set of locks on both the Atlan

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the socio-cultural and musical transfigurations of a rural-identified musical genre known as música típica as it engages with the dynamics of Panama's rural-urban divide and the country's nascent engagement with the global political economy. Though regarded as emblematic of Panama's national folklore, música típica is also the basis for the country's principal and most commercially successful popular music style known by the same name. The primary concern of this project is to examine how and why this particular genre continues to undergo simultaneous processes
