Full textAbstract:
While modernising influences affect many facets of the lives of millions of Indian families, there remain deep-rooted socio-cultural practices and traditions that survive and become engendered in new institutional mechanisms. Labour market policy is but one example where age-old ethnic affiliations distort governmental efforts and find new ways of expressing themselves. Efforts over the past decade to slow the rate of population growth, by encouraging adoption of modern family planning methods have failed to tackle son preference and have caused the sex ratios at birth to be worse than at any other time in the nation's history. This is particularly so in urban India, even among the more educated populace, and it is worsening. This thesis sets out to assess the way in which such gender considerations affect family formation decisions, primarily concerning the quantity and quality of children, with an appreciation of the dynamic nature of the problem. First we assess how fertility preferences and past child outcomes affect the demand for family planning and how behaviours associated with the greater autonomy of women impact upon this process. The empirical work makes use of data from the latest round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) for India, 1999, for the state of Uttar Pradesh, in a simultaneous equation framework, in an effort to take account of the joint determination of many of the variables inherent in modelling such dynamic processes with cross-sectional data. We find that although women's autonomy has been held up as a means of achieving lower fertility, the two do not necessarily go hand in hand, unless coupled with the wider participation of women. Unless the primary social and economic motivations for preferring sons are tackled and dismantled through legislation and through changes to social attitudes, superficial policies to promote the well-being of women will have little real impact and may lead to worsening female child outcomes. One of the policies heralded to achieve the deeper goal of gender equality has been the promotion of education of female children, who as a group lag well behind their male counterparts on both literacy and numeracy rates. We thus turn our attention to investigating the way in which household time allocation decisions are made, focusing on the parental choice of each child's main activity; to go to school, to work in the home, or in the formal labour market, in an effort to understand how the household's opportunities and resource constraints, along with social norms impact such decisions. While some state governments are offering cash incentives to families to keep their female children in school and unmarried, significant labour market discrimination against women continues and constrains the value of this government investment. Making use of the same NFHS data for Uttar Pradesh, we estimate each child's trinomial time allocation with competing speci cations and then compare the results. The standard multinomial logit model is estimated initially but imposes some fairly tight assumptions on behaviour and the resultant data, that are unlikely to hold in the present application. A Mixed Logit model is then estimated that is able to bring greater flexibility and descriptive richness than is possible with the standard Logit model. Estimation results are compared and con firm the ability of the Mixed Logit to capture more fully the unobserved heterogeneity inherent in the data and to allow for correlation in the errors across children of the same family that is not permitted within the standard logit setup.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to establish the extent to which women's membership in self-help groups and their involvement in various activities of these groups, with particular reference to Micro Credit programs, impacted their socio-economic empowerment. The objective is to study the socio-economic empowerment impact factors (evidences) in women members of micro-credit self-help groups in rural India upon the self, the family and the community.Data selected for analyses was based on an operational model of empowerment that encompassed indicators of purported empowerment at the personal, family and community levels. The working hypotheses in quantitative analyses are that there are significant differences in income, savings, assets, expenditure, basic amenities, as well as attitudinal and behavioral changes in the rural women before and after their group membership.
The qualitative interviews helped to assess the life conditions of the women as the process of empowerment before and after their participation in self-help group micro-credit program. The qualitative interviews were to corroborate the veracity of reported progress from the survey to shed some light on the specific factors that contributed to their empowerment in line with their present quality of life at personal, family and community levels. Hence, the impact of the program is measured as the difference in the magnitude of a given parameter between the pre-and post-SHG situations by comparing the life condition of members before joining the self-help group to their condition three years after joining.

Full textAbstract:
Contaminated drinking water is one of the major health challenges facing people in the developing world. The country of India leads the world in under age five mortality due to diarrheal disease, which is attributed to water and food contamination. While the Indian government has made progress in expanding access to improved water sources in the last decade, the microbiological quality of the water is unpredictable. Point of use household water treatment systems can provide clean drinking water for people who do not have access to a clean water source. This report examines five non-electrical point of use household water treatment options which have been extensively field-tested and could potentially be used in rural, South Indian villages: chlorine disinfectant, chlorine-flocculant sachets, ceramic filters, biosand filters and solar disinfection. A case study of a village in Andhra Pradesh is presented that highlights the factors to consider when introducing a new POU technology into a community.

Full textAbstract:
Questa ricerca ha avuto inizio dal concetto che sostenibilità e conservazione del patrimonio non possono essere più considerate due questioni separate: preservare il nostro patrimonio culturale e soddisfare i bisogni delle generazioni presenti senza limitare quelli delle generazioni future in realtà definisce comportamenti socialmente, culturalmente e tecnologicamente simili in termini di modelli e principi.
Per affrontare questa tematica la tesi esplora l'attuale stato dell'arte degli edifici costruiti dalla corrente modernista del XX secolo in Brasile e in India e le possibili sfide future legate alla conservazione del processo di progettazione e degli edifici stessi attraverso l'uso di metodologie e tecnologie contemporanee.
La ricerca condotta sulle implicazioni delle grandi migrazioni del XX secolo, in relazione alla diffusione di nuovi stili architettonici in India e in Brasile, ha fornito un quadro utile per la comprensione e l'analisi del processo di contaminazione culturale e ibridazione dei principi modernisti europei che hanno avuto luogo in questi paesi e nelle loro società.
Una breve panoramica relativa alla crescita e sviluppo dell’architettura moderna in Brasile e in India è stata quindi fornita con lo scopo principale di offrire nozioni di base sui due scenari.
Il nucleo principale del percorso di ricerca può essere sostanzialmente diviso in due parti: da un lato la valutazione degli strumenti disponibili, protocolli e procedure, che rendono possibile l'uso di attrezzature avanzate per conservazione del patrimonio e, d'altra parte, l'identificazione di più di 250 edifici del periodo modernista in territorio brasiliano e indiano, sui quali sono stati applicati tre diversi filtri di selezione.
In questo contesto la ricerca ha identificato 80 edifici per l'applicazione delle tecniche di ridisegno e di rappresentazione dei dati, 25 edifici per l'applicazione di un approccio BIM e 3 per l'applicazione di metodologie integrate di rilievo laser scanner 3D.
Alla fine della ricerca i risultati e gli sviluppi futuri sono stati molti ed eterogenei. Prima di tutto, forse la più importante, è stata testata una metodologia per la valorizzazione e la conservazione delle architetture del XX secolo in Brasile India e più di 250 edifici sono stati catalogati. Inoltre, grazie ai rilievi 3D integrati e relativi disegni tecnici prodotti la conoscenza generale su alcuni di essi è stata notevolmente aumentata.
Per quanto riguarda l'impatto della ricerca in entrambi i paesi, grazie a diversi programmi di sensibilizzazione (seminari e conferenze) si è generata maggiore consapevolezza legata all’esistenza di tecnologie avanzate nel campo del patrimonio. Infine, sono state concepite alcune indicazioni (risultato del processo di controllo incrociato dei dati dei tre filtri applicati) per la conservazione degli edifici moderni attraverso una metodologia integrata legata a fattori di priorità di intervento e ai processi manutentivi necessari.
La sfida di consegnare queste architetture, simbolo dell’ingegno umano e di progresso tecnologico, alle future generazioni è appena al suo inizio…This research has begun from the concept that sustainability and heritage conservation cannot be considered anymore two separate issues: preserving our cultural heritage and meeting the needs of present generations without limiting those of future generations actually define social behaviours culturally and technologically similar in terms of models and principles. For doing this the dissertation explores the current state of art of 20th century buildings both in Brazil and India and possible future challenges related to the preservation of design process and buildings by the use of contemporary methodologies and technologies. The part of the research carried out on the implications of 20th century migration in relation to the spreading out of new architectural styles in India and Brazil, provided a useful framework for understanding and examining the cross-cultural adaptation and hybridization of modernist principles that took place in both the countries and their societies. A short overview of modern architecture in Brazil and India was then provided with the main aim of offering to the reader basic notions about the two scenarios. The main core of the research path can be basically split in two part: on one hand the evaluation of available tools, protocols and procedures, which make possible the use of equipment for modern heritage preservation and, on the other hand, the identification of more than 250 buildings both Brazilians and Indians of the modernist period, on the which to applied three different filters of selection. Within this framework the research has identified 80 buildings for application of data sheet and representation techniques, 25 buildings for application of BIM approach and 3 for 3D laser scanner survey application At the end of the research study the results and future developments have been many and heterogeneous. First of all, maybe the most important, a methodology for the enhancement and preservation of the 20th century architectures in Brazil India has been set up and more than 250 buildings were catalogued and thanks to 3D integrated surveys and related output drawings the overall knowledge on some of them was greatly improved. For what concerns the impact of the research in both the countries, several awareness programmes (seminars and conferences) on stakeholders have been improving the spreading out of new technologies in heritage field. Last but not least some indications (outputs of the cross checking process) for the preservation of modern buildings by integrated methodology and continuous maintenance have been conceived. The challenge to preserve these architectures, symbol of human intelligence and technological progress, for the future generations is just at its beginning ...

Indian cities are where some of the highest concentrations of people live. The high concentrations of people coupled with constant migration to the urban area makes it important to assess the urban environment. The cities are composed of a population of a minimum of 1 million to a maximum of 25 million. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the perspectives of the people and their take on the main issues that plague Indian cities. This will inturn help in deciphering the question of does the priorities of the Government align with that of the people?

Full textAbstract:
Studies have repeatedly reported that states with higher levels of gender equality are more peaceful. Similarly, research has shown that individuals who hold feminist attitudes also hold more peaceful attitudes. This paper argues that there is a lack of studies on the relationship between gender equality and peaceful attitudes on the individual level. Building upon studies suggesting that gender equality is key in working towards peace, this paper investigates whether female political leaders can affect attitudes to gender equality and to violence. By integrating experimental components in a comparative case study, this study gathered survey-evidence from two villages in Kerala, India. The findings suggest that continuous exposure to female political leaders lead to more approving attitudes of gender equality but does not find enough support suggesting that attitudes towards violence are affected.

Full textAbstract:
Conservation and Enhancement. Nowadays one of the most important debate ongoing, that involves every level’s actors in field of Architecture, Urban Planning, as well as promoters and stakeholders, is on the connection and interrelation in between these two fields of study. The introduction of the new concept of Industry 4.0 and the continuous need for growing of living standards, together with daily innovations in the AEC world (Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry), is leading towards new horizons the entire concept of conservation of ancient architecture.
Thanks to the growing possibilities of comparison in between way of living among different parts of the world, the individual and diffuse instinct in economically emerging countries is to reach a better state in the healthy possibilities and wellness. In these nations, the impulse towards a growth of the wellness conditions is usually combined with a conspicuous availability of free land plots and the willingness of moving towards new production areas. Ancient areas of cities were not commonly considered within this progress part of the possible evolution: in certain cases, as a matter of facts, city centres of developing nations became omitted areas, seen as not productive ones.
The analysis of the difficulties that actors as municipalities, trusts, foundations and NGOs are facing because of the quick development and different government directions, focuses this research on the necessity of introducing an inspection methodology for the heritage centres that has to be as less expensive as possible from three main points of view. Economical, timing, easiness.
The aim of the research is to define a documenting methodology that allows the creation of a cataloguing system of areas of not-yet-surveyed historic centres, in order to highlight possibilities towards the definition of conservations’ primer focuses. Therefore, the study emphases on urban context with the complexity of an initial organic settlement with two case studies in north India: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and Jodhpur, Rajasthan.

Public Library of Science, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0201125.
Full textAbstract:
Background and objective
India contributes the highest global share of deaths among the under-fives. Continuous monitoring of the reduction in the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) at local level is thus essential to set priorities for policy-makers and health professionals. In this study, we aimed to provide an update on district-level disparities in the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) and the U5MR with special reference to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3) on preventable deaths among new-borns and children under five.
Data and methods
We used recently released population-based cross-sectional data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted in 2015-2016. We used the synthetic cohort probability approach to analyze the full birth history information of women aged 15-49 to estimate the NMR and U5MR for the ten years preceding the survey.
Results
Both the NMR and U5MR vary enormously across Indian districts. With respect to the SDG3 target for 2030 for the NMR and the U5MR, the estimated NMR for India for the period studied is about 2.4 times higher, while the estimated U5MR is about double. At district level, while 9% of the districts have already reached the NMR targeted in SDG3, nearly half (315 districts) are not likely to achieve the 2030 target even if they realize the NMR reductions achieved by their own states between the last two rounds of National Family Health Survey of India. Similarly, less than one-third of the districts (177) of India are unlikely to achieve the SDG3 target on the U5MR by 2030. While the majority of high-risk districts for the NMR and U5MR are located in the poorer states of north-central and eastern India, a few high-risk districts for NMR also fall in the rich and advanced states. About 97% of districts from Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh, for example, are unlikely to meet the SDG3 target for preventable deaths among new-borns and children under age five, irrespective of gender.
Conclusions
To achieve the SDG3 target on preventable deaths by 2030, the majority of Indian districts clearly need to make a giant leap to reduce their NMR and U5MR.

Yadati, Narasimhulu Supriya. "Influence of Regional-Level Institutional Factors on Firm-Level Innovation in an Emerging Economy - India." Thesis, Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/40613.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how regional-level factors combined with firm-level factors influence innovation in an emerging economy – India. Past literature has shown that differences in both country contexts and firm-level factors influence innovation. The bulk of this literature tended to focus on developed economies. The handful of studies that have considered contextual differences have studied these at the country-level or within regional blocks such as regions of Europe or Africa. There is a paucity of research, which investigates how differences in state-level factors within a single country combined with firm-level factors influence innovation within firms. Therefore, it is an open question whether the findings derived from developed economies and country-level studies apply equally to emerging economies, particularly at the state level within a single country. Thus, there is a gap in the literature regarding our understanding of the impact of combined state- and firm-level factors on innovation within a single country.
This thesis aims to contribute to a better understanding of how state and firm-level factors drive innovation in India, an emerging economy. India is selected because it is a fast-growing emerging economy that is increasingly being integrated into the globalized world economy and thus understanding how these factors influence innovation in an emerging economy would complement the literature that focuses on developed countries. Moreover, India is a huge country with substantial varieties in resources, capabilities, institutions (both formal and informal institutions) as well as ethnic, religious, and cultural varieties. Contextually, these state-level differences are quite different from regions in the developed world where institutional differences tend to be relatively consistent (less varieties). Thus, the insights generated from this study of the Indian context complement prior research by identifying the state and firm factors that combine to drive firm-level innovation. This study also extends the innovation literature by focussing on state-level differences within a single emerging economy, for which there is limited research.
The findings could also have practical managerial and policy implications. From a policy perspective, policymakers in India can get a deeper understanding of the relevant factors that influence firm-level innovation so that they can direct policy and resources to promote innovation in their respective states. From a managerial perspective, managers can also get a better understanding of strategies and investments they should take to enhance innovation within their firms.
This study is based on data gathered from various sources including the World Bank Enterprise Survey and several sources from within India (Indiastat.com, NCAER State Investment Potential Index, India Innovation Index). The World Bank Enterprise Survey provides firm-level data while state-level data were obtained from the other reputable sources in India. The data were analyzed using logistic regression and multi-level modeling, given that firms are nested within states, thus, we can simultaneously model the micro and macro levels to assess the relevance of the regional context.
The results of this study show that regional factors such as regulatory quality, corruption, and rule of law barriers negatively influence innovation in firms that invest in internal R&D to promote innovation. The results also show that regions that devote a higher proportion of their gross domestic product to innovation achieve higher levels of innovation. Further, regions that have higher levels of human capital stock (more skilled workers) and export technology tend to be more innovative. At the firm level, investments in both internal and external R&D and those that have highly experienced managers are more innovative than their peers.
These results suggest that governments and policymakers can increase innovative activities of firms by providing a highly skilled labor force, invest heavily in R&D, reduce corruption, regulatory quality, and the rule of law barriers. For firm-level managers, this study indicates that higher levels of managerial capability and greater investments in both internal and external R&D can enhance the technical and innovative capabilities (absorptive capacity) of their firms. This may result in a competitive advantage through increased innovation.

Despite decades of intense research, malaria remains a deadly worldwide disease. Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to chemical treatment still remains important. Efforts are now being directed towards the discovery and development of new chemically diverse anti-malarial agents. In the course of the search for new antimalarial compounds, a study of plants traditionally used against malaria by the people inhabiting the forests located near Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India was made, which permitted the identification of 34 plants currently used. Among these, 27 plants were selected for testing for antiplasmodial activity aimed at identifying the most effective plants for further research. Also, their activities were compared with 27 randomly collected plant species in order to asess the value of an ethno-medical approach.

This thesis surveyed a group of second generation Mexican-American Spanish-English bilingual speakers in the Coachella Valley, California to determine common motives for code-switching in speech. In previous studies, motives or triggers to code-switching have been identified and recorded in major urban cities such as Los Angeles and New York, and this thesis seeks to identify this phenomenon in the rural and agricultural cities of the Coachella Valley, with focus on Indio and Coachella, CA. Furthermore, another goal of this study was to analyze research on code-switching in a sample of older adults ages 45-75 as compared to much of the research that tends to focus on young adults or children. This study also took into consideration the code-switching patterns between males and females.This thesis analyzed 10 audio-recorded interviews of second generation Mexican-American Spanish-English bilingual speakers. The interviews were recorded in Indio, CA in 2015. The data collected were analyzed for naturally occurring code-switching pattern frequencies, code-switching differences found between genders, and code-switching differences found in age groupings.The results showed similar findings to those found in previous studies on code-switching patterns, the greater code-switching frequency in women, and the stronger disapproval of code-switching in adults.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare indicators of female empowerment gathered in the Demographic Health Survey, conducted in India as the National Family Health Survey. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) is a country-wide, nationally representative survey that collects important information on household characteristics, health information, and other topics, such as family planning. Two different years, NFHS-2 in 1999 and NFHS-3 in 2006, of the NFHS were compared to examine areas of progress, change, or lack of change in the selected indicators of female empowerment. Specifically, the level of decision-making and autonomy was assessed through the questions located in the Women’s Questionnaire of the NFHS. These data sets from NFHS-2 and NFHS-3 were used in this research. Two specific questions were selected as indicators of the level of independent decision-making for currently married women who participated in the survey. These questions pertained to the decision on personal healthcare and the ability to choose independently to stay with relatives. The logistical regression model revealed a positive change in the level of decision-making between the two survey years, with the range of odds ratios being 0.90 to 1.36. The largest difference occurred in the rural residents. In both measures, the youngest women had the smallest percentage of individuals with high autonomy and mobility. Overall, the study revealed an increase in the decision-making power of women but the majority of women still lack a high degree of freedom and autonomy.

Full textAbstract:
In August of 2012, the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking him to designate the Greater Canyonlands National Monument (GCNM). The proposed 1.4 million acre national monument would surround the already present 337,570 acre Canyonlands National Park, and would include public lands/waterways from five Utah counties. The OIA’s goal for the GCNM is to preserve the landscape for quality outdoor recreation by decreasing the amount of off-highway vehicle use and to eliminate the possibility of oil/gas drilling and mining. Given the proposal highlights outdoor recreation use benefits as the main catalyst for justification of additional conservation/protection of lands surrounding Canyonlands National Park, this study surveyed recreationists in the Indian Creek Corridor—an area within the boundaries of the proposed GCNM—to explore their attitudes toward the GCNM and the management of the area. This study examined how environmental orientation, place dependence, place identity, residential proximity, and recreational activity type related to attitudes toward the GCNM. Environmental orientation and residential proximity were both good predictors of attitudes toward the GCNM and the management of the Greater Canyonlands area. More biocentric-oriented people, and people who lived farther away from the Greater Canyonlands area, were more likely to have favorable attitudes toward the GCNM and were more opposed to land uses such as mining and energy development. In addition, visitors were largely “unsure” if the GCNM should be designated. Visitors felt most strongly that if the GCNM is going to be designated, the process of designation, the land that would be included, and management of the GCNM should be agreed upon by stakeholders before the monument is designated. This suggests a quick designation via public proclamation under the Antiquities Act of 1906 could largely exacerbate the already present conflict over public land management in the region, which would create an even more difficult environment for federal land managers.

Full textAbstract:
Previous surveys of mental health professionals regarding theoretical orientation and the use of various treatment modalities provided valuable information concerning the nature of mental health delivery but primarily focused on professionals providing services to dominant-culture clientele. The present study focused on those degreed workers whose primary clientele were American Indian. Questionnaires were returned by 140 mental health workers who are American Psychological Association (APA) members of American Indian descent, members of the Society of Indian Psychologists (SIP), employees of the Indian Health Service (IHS), and graduate psychology students. Questionnaire responses were analyzed in terms of orientation and treatment modality for various subgroups of respondents. In addition, demographic data (e.g., age, sex, emphasis of graduate study, intervention level, work setting, and service delivery to primary age groups) were compared for Indian and non-Indian respondents. The results provide a unique assessment of current trends in therapeutic approaches used in mental health service delivery with American Indians.

Full textAbstract:
Since European settlers arrived to the United States (U.S.), American Indians (AI) have been separate and unequal members of society. After a long history of discrimination, ethnocide, genocide, and distrust, the AI have become a population with severe disparities, having the highest rates of diabetes, depression, suicide, tuberculosis, and alcoholism than any other minority or majority population in the U.S. The author's purpose for conducting this study was to explore a possible relationship between depression or psychological distress and diabetes in AI women.
AI women are the most under studied group in the country; therefore, a secondary analysis of the large established California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) was done. The sample used 1,110 self-identified AI women's data. Even though the literature shows that the AI have the highest rates of diabetes and depression of any population, this analysis revealed no statistically significant relationship between the two diseases. It did reveal many limitations and implications associated with the use of such large databases for the AI woman.
Among the limitations were the survey itself, its administration to the AI population, guidelines for self-identifying as AI, and the researcher's limited access to the data. The implications of this study are significant. Large databases provide the basis for social and political decisions such as allocation of federal dollars for health care. Healthcare and health care services are designed according to the health burden of specific populations. If these databases are in error, or not representative of the true population, healthcare decisions will not reflect the true health care needs of the population. The inadequacies of large databases results in less funding, leading to less quality health care, and an increase in AI health disparities. Further research is needed to determine the actual health burden depression and diabetes place on the AI woman.

Full textAbstract:
Eddies within oceans act as vehicles, transporting smaller bodies of water, with certain oceanographic characteristics, from one place to another within a larger body of water. The South West Indian Ridge [SWIR] is a topographically complex bathymetric feature which amplifies the production of mesoscale eddies in and around the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [ACC]. Within the Southern Ocean [SO], a section of this ridge - the Andrew Bain Fracture Zone [ABFZ] - has been found to be the starting line of an eastward extending eddy corridor. Earlier research shows an area of diminishing mesoscale variability within this corridor which extends down from 45°S to approximately 60S. A recent study focused on a southward extending anticyclonic eddy corridor and proved its existence. The anticyclonic [warm core] eddies which are propagating south, not previously investigated through in situ means, were observed during the 2014 Marion Island Relief Cruise [MIRC2014] aboard the SA Agulhas II. Two anticyclonic mesoscale eddies [one juvenile and one mature] were bisected with transects of conductivity, temperature and depth stations and expendable bathythermograph deployments. This paper used the in situ data captured during the MIRC2014 to study the internal structure of the two eddies. The objectives of this study were also to examine both the recent and the historical trajectory characteristics of the southward advecting anticyclonic eddies, to confirm the origin of the two sampled eddies, and to assess the structural differences between the two anticyclonic eddies. This paper plots the behaviour of the anticyclonic mesoscale eddies found within the area of the southward eddy corridor, firstly using website available data collected over a two year period [May 2012 - May 2014] and then utilizing a previously compiled data set to plot the historical dynamics [October 1992 - April 2012]. The trajectories of the southward anticyclones during that time period were found to be predominantly southward, typically following the south west slope of the SWIR. The two MIRC2014 eddies were confirmed to originate from the ABFZ section of the SWIR. Each eddy had a similar grouping of water masses; Antarctic Bottom Water, Circumpolar Deep Water, Antarctic Intermediate Water, Winter Water and Sub-Antarctic Surface Water: water masses characteristic of the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone [APFZ]. The in situ measurement and analysis of these eddies allowed the first comparison between a juvenile and a mature anticyclonic eddy in the recently discovered southward extending eddy corridor. Thermal section comparisons of these two sampled anticyclonic eddies showed that, over time, these anticyclonic eddies appear to shrink in surface diameter, deepen and lose heat to host waters. This loss of heat occurs due to the degradation of water mass boundary integrity over time and is theorised to accelerate as time passes. This study shows that the southward extending eddy corridor is a means of shifting heat and salt further south within the SO, large sections of which are sink areas for atmospheric CO₂. This poleward heat transport influences the capability of the SO to absorb atmospheric CO₂, since higher temperatures negatively affect the ocean's CO₂ uptake capability. The results of this study are proposed to be a catalyst for future in situ sampling across eddies in this area, in order that heat and salt transport, through this southward anticyclonic eddy corridor, can be monitored for fluctuations. As this carbon sink is vitally important with regards to climate change, the quantification of the heat and salt sources of the SO, which alter the SO's ability to absorb CO₂, is imperative.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the extent of the impact of proficiency and language use on sociophonetic variation in Indian English (IE). It is based on an oral corpus using the methods and tools of the PAC project and derived from a pool of South Delhi-based highly proficient speakers. The investigation was conducted using quantitative and qualitative methods and focused on two understudied variables: (1) the fricative realisation of th, and (2) the realisations of the vowels in words of the NORTH and FORCE lexical sets. First, the results demonstrate that a significant amount of variation which cannot be accounted for by the traditional age, gender and social class factors can be explained by the language use parameter. A degree of correlation was found between the volume of use of English in a range of domains, and how speakers take advantage of the sociolinguistic potential of prestigious forms. This offers indications on the location of the leaders of the linguistic change. The second central feature of this study is derived from the investigation of the NORTH versus FORCE distinction. It is argued that the general maintenance of this distinction in IE provides evidence for the endo-normative nature of this variety. In the light of these findings, issues ultimately relating to the debate over nativeness are discussed.

The study investigates inter alia the part played by the early Muslim settlers, political exiles and the pioneers who made possible the preservation of Islamic faith and culture. This study demonstrates that the period from 1652 to date had been a period of considerable development, expansion and _enlightenment of Arabic. The study revealed inter alia that only Indian schools under the Department of Indian Affairs (now Department of Education and Culture) offered Arabic which fully satisfied the Muslim Community's demands. 1975 marks the beginning of Arabic as a language in Indian secondary schools. The Muslim pupil is given the basic grounding in the understanding of both the Quran and the Hadith. Some suggestions regarding aspects of an effective didactic approach concludes this presentation.

Full textAbstract:
Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in children, and prevalence rates are disproportionately higher in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. The Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) recommends annual oral health screening for children in Head Start programs using the Basic Screening Survey (BSS). The 2014 study was a follow-up to a 2010 national survey of AI/AN children ages five and under that assessed oral health outcomes such as untreated decay, decay experience, urgent need for treatment, presence of sealants and decayed, missing and filled deciduous teeth (dmft) scores, and investigated the changes in Early Childhood Caries (ECC) prevalence from 2010 to 2014 in the Indian Health Service (IHS) Nashville Area. A gap analysis was completed comparing current recommended practices among dental clinics that participated in the IHS ECC Collaborative ASTDD Framework to Prevent and Control Childhood Tooth Decay (ASTDD Framework). Due to historical mistreatment of AI/AN populations in research, and out of respect for the sovereignty of the Tribal Nations that participated in the study, there limited data was made available for this study. In 2010, 579 children were screened in the Nashville Area; 1231 children participated in 2014. While there was a statistically significant, yet clinically small 9.36% reduction of untreated decay from 2010 (30.33%) to 2014 (27.49%), the ECC Collaborative did not reach their objective of a 25% reduction. There was also a significant increase in urgent need for treatment (3.17% in 2010 to 4.35% in 2014), and in presence of sealants (4.54% in 2010 to 10.01% in 2014). Gaps in best practices identified were related to need for increased risk assessments and enhancing policy development. Based on study findings and the limited access to data on Tribal and Area levels, development of culturally appropriate policies that are unique to individual Tribal needs, and focus on perinatal care, is recommended. Individual Tribal programs also need to be evaluated and surveillance needs to be continued to establish trend data. All program evaluations and research should be conducted in an ethical manner that is community-based and considerate of the needs of the Tribe.

Na última década ocorreram transformações positivas na saúde indígena brasileira. A saúde bucal é um dos temas relevantes da saúde indígena e carece de informações na literatura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o perfil de saúde bucal e sociodemográfico da população indígena Guarani do Rio Grande do Sul. Este é um estudo de prevalência com levantamento epidemiológico de saúde bucal e variáveis demográficas. Um total de 203 sujeitos em diferentes idades e faixas etárias e em 19 aldeias foram examinados. As crianças Guarani de cinco anos de idade apresentaram um índice de cárie (ceo-d) 2,8 com 37,7% destas crianças livres de cárie. Os adolescentes de 12 anos e de 15 a 19 apresentaram um CPO-D, respectivamente, de 1,31 e 3,39, sendo o maior percentual do índice aos 12 anos o componente cariado (C) com 54,3%; entre adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos é o obturado (O) com 49,4%. Entre os adultos na faixa etária de 35 a 44 anos o CPO-D médio foi de 11,55, sendo que o componente perdido (P) foi responsável por 69,3% do índice. Entre os idosos, faixa etária de 65 a 74 anos, o CPO-D médio foi de 18,58. Os dados desta investigação demonstram que a média do CPO-D nas diferentes idades e faixas etárias é mais baixa na população indígena Guarani indicando uma menor experiência de cárie dental do que a população em geral. Acesso ao creme dental fluoretado e uma política de saúde indígena diferenciada podem estar relacionados com estes resultados. No entanto é necessário mais pesquisa acercada influência de hábitos culturais sobre o processo saúde doença bucal destas populações.Over the past decade, positive changes have occurred to Brazilian indigenous health. Oral health is one of the relevant issues of indigenous health, but there is a lack of information about it in literature. The aim of this paper is to describe the oral health and sociodemographic profile of the Guarani indigenous population in Rio Grande do Sul. This is a prevalence study using an epidemiological survey on oral health and demographic variables. A total of 203 subjects in 19 villages at different ages and in different age groups were examined. Five-year-old Guarani children showed a dental caries index (DEF) of 2.8, with 37.7% of these children being free of caries. Teenagers aged 12 and from 15 to 19 years showed a DMF index of 1.31 and 3.39, respectively, the highest rate at age 12 was for the decayed component (D), 54.3%; and among teenagers from 15 to 19 years, the filled component (F) had the highest rate, 49.4%. Among adults in the age group of 35 to 44 years, the mean DMF index was 11.55, and the missing component (M) accounted for 69.3%. Among the elderly, in the age group of 65 to 74 years, the mean DMF index was 18.58. The data from this investigation demonstrated that the mean DMF index at different ages and in different age groups was lower in the Guarani indigenous population, indicating a lower presence of dental caries than in the general population. Access to fluoridated dental cream and a specific indigenous health policy may be associated with these results. However, further studies on the influence of cultural habits on the process of oral health and disease among these populations are necessary.

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar a percep??o dos profissionais e estudantes dos cursos da ?rea da sa?de, que atuam em uma Unidade B?sica de Sa?de na cidade do Natal/RN, frente ao atendimento de pacientes surdos, bem com, identificar as necessidades da popula??o com surdez em rela??o ? assist?ncia ? sa?de. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, explorat?rio, descritivo, realizado no per?odo de abril a julho de 2014, com uma popula??o composta por 21 profissionais de sa?de, 17 estudantes e oito usu?rios surdos. Para o levantamento dos dados foi utilizado um question?rio estruturado composto por quest?es abertas e fechadas, aplicado aos grupos formados por profissionais da sa?de, m?dico, dentista, enfermeiro e agentes de sa?de, e estudantes dos cursos de medicina, enfermagem, educa??o f?sica, nutri??o e servi?o social. Os profissionais/estudantes responderam ao question?rio acera das poss?veis dificuldades enfrentadas no atendimento ao surdo. A coleta de dados com os usu?rios surdos foi realizada atrav?s de comando dado em L?ngua brasileira de Sinais (Libras), sendo a entrevista filmada para que a Libras pudesse ser interpretada para o portugu?s, pelo pesquisador. Com os surdos foi realizado um levantamento de suas rea??es ao procurar um atendimento no servi?o de sa?de. A an?lise dos resultados se deu a partir da estat?stica descritiva simples (frequ?ncias absolutas e relativas). As quest?es abertas foram analisadas atrav?s da t?cnica de tem?tica categorial, a qual permitiu o processo de categoriza??o preservando todos os aspectos levantados na discuss?o, de forma que as falas foram representativas da totalidade. A partir da analise das entrevistas com os profissionais e estudantes no que se refere ? atitude utilizada para se comunicar com poss?veis pacientes surdos emergiram as seguintes categorias: a ?escrita?, os ?gestos? e o ?aux?lio a terceiros?. J? os surdos quando questionados sobre suas experi?ncias ao buscar atendimento em sa?de, as categorias elucidadas foram: ?assist?ncia ao surdo?, ?comunica??o com o surdo? e ?depend?ncia de terceiros?. As quest?es fechadas foram mensuradas e adaptadas a Escala de Likert em 5 graus de varia??o, que compuseram tr?s destas quest?es: grau de dificuldade na comunica??o ao atender um paciente com d?ficit auditivo (m?nima a grande dificuldade); sentimento de conforto para utilizar a l?ngua de sinais (m?nimo a grande desconforto); e conhecimento sobre a Lei 10.436, que disp?e sobre a L?ngua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) (baixo conhecimento a totalmente esclarecido). Os dados coletados com os profissionais e estudantes revelaram certo desconhecimento e desconforto no atendimento em sa?de aos pacientes surdos, realidade tamb?m evidenciada na opini?o dos surdos participantes. Este estudo permitiu identificar problemas na comunica??o, resultando em consequ?ncias negativas no atendimento a essa popula??o. Este diagn?stico poder? ser relevante para elabora??o de pol?ticas p?blicas e diretrizes curriculares essenciais ? forma??o dos profissionais da sa?de, inclus?o e melhoria da assist?ncia aos surdos.
The study aimed to identify in the professionals and students of health courses that work in a health Basic Unit in the city of Natal/RN their perceptions of the care of deaf patients, and with the population's needs with hearing loss in relation to health care. This is a cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive study, conducted between April to July 2014, with a population composed of 21 health professionals, 17 students and 8 deaf users. For data collection, we used a structured questionnaire with open and closed questions applied to groups composed of health professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses and health workers) and students of medical schools, nursing, physical education, nutrition and social service. The professionals/students answered a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions concerning the possible difficulties the care of the deaf and hearing impaired. Data collection with deaf users was conducted through filmed interview for the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) could be interpreted as to the Portuguese by the researcher. With the latter it was conducted a survey of their reactions when looking for a care in the health service. Regarding the profile of identification of the subjects, it was analyzed by simple descriptive statistics (absolute and relative frequencies). The open questions were analyzed through the content analysis technique which allowed the categorization process preserving all the points raised in the discussion so that the lines were representative of the whole. When asked about the professionals and students attitude used to communicate with deaf patients possible the following categories emerged: the "writing", the "gestures" and the "third party assistance". With regard of the deaf, when asked about their experiences in seeking care in health, the elucidated categories were: "quality of care to the hearing impaired", "communication with the hearing impaired adequacy" and "dependence on third parties." The closed questions were measured and adapted to the 5 degrees of variation Likert Scale, which comprised three of these issues: degree of difficulty in communication to meet a patient with hearing loss (minimum to great difficulty); feeling of comfort while using sign language (minimum to severe discomfort); and knowledge of the Law 10.436, which provides for the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) (low knowledge to entirely clear). The data collected with professionals and students revealed some misunderstanding and discomfort in health care for deaf patients, reality also evidenced in the opinion of the deaf participants. This study revealed problems in communication, resulting in negative consequences in serving this population. This diagnosis may be relevant to public policy development and curriculum guidelines essential to the training of health professionals, inclusion and improving assistance to deaf.
