In this paper an attempt has been made to examine the socioeconomic determinants of Tetanus Toxoid (TT) vaccination as a component of prenatal-care by the women in the age group of 15-49 years. Micro-data having 25847 observations from Indian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) has been used. To estimate the probability of TT vaccination binary logistic regression has been utilized. The explanatory variables categorized into socio-demographic characteristics of the woman, household characteristics, health-related characteristics, community characteristics and regional characteristics have been included in the analysis. The results explained that probability to have TT vaccination increases by woman’ education, woman’ age at marriage, husband’s age, husband’s education, husband’s living within household, husband’s presence at prenatal visit and household wealth. The woman’s living in small city, town and country...

The urban informal sector largely absorbs women workers. We examine the determinants of their contribution to their household budgets for the survival of the families. Applying the OLS model to 937 observations, it is found that women as heads of household, women’s education, and ownership of assets by woman have a positive effect on their contribution. The burden of the large family size, household poverty, and loans availed by the household are shared by the informally employed women, as these variables positively affect their contribution. Age of the woman has a non-linear effect on woman’s contribution. The contribution first increases and then decreases by an increase in the age of the woman. Married women and women living in nuclear families contribute more to the household budget. The household per capita income and number of children (5-15 years) in ...

It analyses the sample of boys and girls separately through a series of probit models using primary data. We compare the socio-economic determinants of boys’ and girls’ activities. The results suggest that boys are more likely to go to school as compared to girls with the increase in their age. The provision of schooling as an instrument to decrease child labour and home-care would affect boys more than girls. To make the adults literate (five years of education) only is not enough to eliminate the gender gap in schooling; a greater number of years of adult education is necessary. The female adult education may be devised to eliminate gender discrimination in child schooling. In the larger households, girls drop out of school and are absorbed in the labour market earlier than boys. The results further suggested that the use of resources is significantly different for boys’ and girls’ we...

The design lends itself to be applicable to any program at any institution. The research and data used to develop the framework was gathered from literature review, and a survey of UMUC graduate programs. The proposed framework was tested in two capstone courses using industry/client sponsored projects, in the authors’ disciplines, as the first stage of testing of the model.

Most of the studies are cross-country studies questioned on the basis of inability to eliminate country specific effects. This study examined the role of financial development in poverty reduction in Pakistan. The paper tested a causal process linking financial development and poverty reduction through Johansen cointegration and Wald test. The empirical results indicate the neither bi-directional nor uni-directional causality exist between financial development and poverty. The financial development in Pakistan has not caused poverty reduction expressing the imperfections in financial market.

The cointegration and causality approaches have been applied for economic growth and domestic savings. In doing so, ARDL Bounds Testing, Johanson cointegration approaches are employed to examine for long run association while Innovative Accounting Techniques and Toda and Yamamoto (1995) for causal relationship has been applied. Ng-Perron de-trended test is used for order of integration of running actors. Results reveal that there exists a long run relationship between economic growth and domestic savings and their association is robust at least in long span of time. Causal results through innovative accounting technique assert that there is oneway causality running from economic growth to domestic savings while very weak from opposite side. Results by Toda and Yamamoto's technique also confirm that economic growth leads domestic savings in Pakistan.

For trade liberalization, volume of trade as ratio of GDP, head count ratio for poverty and Gini-coefficient has been used for income inequality. The granger causality technique is applied to time series data for the years 1970-2009. The results indicate that trade has no significant effect on poverty and poverty has no effect on trade. However, trade has increased inequality in the short-run and inequality affected the trade in the long-run negatively. It partially contradicts the prediction of the Stolper- Samuelson theorem.

The analysis covers narrow money (M2). The cointegration results support a positive relationship between VM and economic growth in Pakistan. Financial development and inflation also affect VM positively. Having an increasing relationship of VM with these variables, the adverse impact of expansionary monetary policy is not likely to be small in Pakistan.

A 29-year-old healthy female, with no history of pulmonary disease, presented on multiple occasions to healthcare providers with wheezing and cough. She was repeatedly diagnosed and treated for asthma with acute exacerbations. Upon further evaluation, the patient was subsequently found to have a tracheobronchial foreign body causing her symptoms. This case report highlights a clinical approach to wheezing illnesses and reviews the diagnosis and management of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration.

One adaptation to a specific host plant is the recognition of the host's chemicals which can be used to trigger genes or developmental pathways needed for pathogenesis. The production of characteristic flavonoids by plants, particularly those exuded from roots by legumes, appear to be used as signals for various microbes, including symbionts as well as pathogens. Nectria haematococca MPVI (anamorph: Fusarium solani) is a soil-borne pathogen of garden pea (Pisum sativum) which serves as a useful model in studying host flavonoid recognition. This fungus displays flavonoid induction of specific pathogenicity genes as well as stimulation of development needed for pathogenesis. Here, we summarize the study of flavonoid-inducible signal pathways which regulate these trait, through identification of transcription factors and regulatory components which contro...

This study describes the authors’ experiences with performing eye-tracking for improving surgery training, both in the laboratory and in the operating room (OR). Three different eye-trackers were used, each with different capabilities and requirements. For monitoring eye gaze shifts over the room scene in a simulated OR, a head-mounted system was used. The number of surgeons’ eye glances on the monitor displaying patient vital signs was successfully captured by this system. The resolution of the head-mounted eye-tracker was not sufficient to obtain the gaze coordinates in detail on the surgical display monitor. The authors then selected a high-resolution eye-tracker built in to a 17-inch computer monitor that is capable of recording gaze differences with resolution of 1° of visual angle. This system enables one to investigate surgeons’ eye–hand coordination on the surgical monitor in the laboratory environment. However, ...
