Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminants that disturb normal hormonal functions.Numerous toxic substances that are found in the urban environment cause abnormalities in normal growth and development. Exposure to PCBs leads to decreased antioxidant system and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Diets rich in vegetables protecting against several toxicants. Hence, the study was designed to investigate the role of lycopene on PCB induced cytotoxicity in rats. Mitochondrial membrane potential, LDH leakage assay, intrinsic and extrinsic pathway of apoptosis, functional markers in HT-29 cell lines. Results show that lycopene could significantly inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in HT-29 cells via the mitochondrial cell death pathway. In the apoptotic process, lycopene in induced decreases of Bcl-2/Bax and Bcl-xL/Bad ratios followed by the activation of caspase-3, the release of cytochrome c, and the collapse of m.These observations might also indicate that lycopene has protective role. ····· 1036120838

Development thinkers and practitioners have pondered over community participation for the last four decades. For instance the current social and economic movements, NGOs and CBOs are a manifestation of community participation. In order to increase management efficiency and accountability, improve equity and justice for local people many development agencies and institutions have strongly advocated for community participation. The major reasons behind community participation include ensuring efficiency and empowerment. In Mbarara Municipality, community participation has acted as a way of deepening democracy in various ways such as regular voting of local government officials, involvement in project initiation, implementation and evaluation and budget conferences. However, community participation as a way of deepening democracy has experienced many challenges such as political peddling, political gate keeping-elite capture, corruption high illiteracy levels, little local resources and political market imperfections All these challenges have at times affected service delivery in Mbarara Municipality, thus needing to be addressed. ····· 1036120758

Explaining Implementation Gap

····· lezzter Preis 49.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Since 2002 Zambia has been implementing ART for HIV/AIDS patients in the public sector. This programme was conducted within WHO `3 by 5`framework.Implementation of ART in Zambia that time faced serious problems of human resource shortages and other capacity constraints.Purpose of the study was to assess implementation aspects of ART in Zambia. The study found that the gap in meeting the target of putting 100,000 people living with HI/AIDS on treatment by 2005 that time was not only caused by capacity problems but more complex issues.The study uses an actor approach to analyse implementation.Actors involved in implementing ART programme are guided by their values. CHAZ, a major health service provider and government health workers were not implementing the programme according to national guidelines.People living with HIV/AIDS have their own perceptions about ART intervention due to lack of acceptance, cultural beliefs and misinformation.There are also mechanisms of exclusion caused by poverty, gender inequality and stigma which make it difficult for people living with HIV/AIDS to seek ART.Study concludes that capacity alone is not enough to explain implementation success or failure. ····· 1036120747

Work Organizational Changes as Tools to Improve Health

Postal work is performed in very different settings, and the works are e.g. drivers, letter carriers, postal sorters, and counter clerks. A finding that a small group of parcel sorters with a good psychosocial work situation had much lower health complaints than comparable workers with a worse psychosocial situation at work, indicated that it might be possible to improve mental and physical health among postal employees by improving work organization. Two changes in workplaces in Sweden Post were followed and evaluated. The theoretical framework for the evaluation was the demands-control-support (DCS) model by Karasek, Theorell, and Johnson. The main findings of the investigations were that there were significant associations between psychosocial work situation among postal workers and psychosomatic and musculoskeletal symptoms, and that it was possible to reduce symptoms and sick-leave, by changes of organization, and improvement of the psychosocial work situation. ····· 1036120734

The aim was to identify G that combine high yield (YLD) with high -carotene content (CC). In 2005 two trials were conducted in the Forest-Savannah Transition and the Deciduous Forest in RCBD. In 2006 one site (Costal Savannah) was added. Trials were harvested at 9 and 12 or 14 months after planting (MAP). Harvest data were collected for YLD and CC was determined by HPLC. Data were analyzed with MATMODEL 3.0 GGE biplot. Significant differences were found for G, E and GxE for the agronomic traits. Only the GxE of YLD was not significant. There were differences between G for CC per root, CC in root per plant and per hectare (ha) but no difference for carotene concentration (Bc). The best G for CC was 01/1417 followed by 01/1371 and 01/1368. The differences between E were highly significant for all -carotene traits. The highest values of Bc were recorded at 9 MAP. From this study 01/1368 and 01/1417 with high dry YLD and high CC were proposed for on farm and release against vitamin A deficiency in Ghana. ····· 1036120571

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Many factors contribute to the performance of students in any given subject. The performance in mathematics and science subjects has been of great concern to the leaders in Kenya, who peg economic growth to the scientific development. In this country, the determining factor for success of a child in school is the performance in the national examinations which are administered by a semi-autonomous government agency and other professional bodies. The poor performance in mathematics and science examinations has generated debates nationally. This led to the introduction of many innitiatives to improve performance in these areas. One of this initiatives is Strenghtening Mathematics and Science in Secondary Education (SMASSE) for teacher in-servicing. It was envisaged that the SMASSE training would arm the teacher with a better pedagogical skills, develop interest in the students and change the perception towards this subjects and in particular Physics. This book discusses the results of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in Physics in Meru South District before and after the teachers were trained. ····· 1036120501

Intelligent Techniques for Data Modeling Problems

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Supervised learning deals with the problem of discovering models from data as relationships between input and output attributes. Two types of models are distinguished: regression models (for continuous output attributes) and classification models (for discrete output attributes). This thesis addresses both regression and classification problems with an emphasis on new applications and on presenting improved evolutionary techniques. Such techniques include Gene Expression Programming (classical and its adaptive version), Genetic Programming, and the hypernetwork model of learning (classical and its evolutionary version). Such methods can be successfully applied to many problems from various domains. This thesis presents applications for symbolic regression for inverse problems, quantum circuit design, modeling of dynamic processes, and forecasting price movement. ····· 1036120474

Stock Investors` response to SOX 404 Material Weakness Disclosures

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Brief Synopsis: This paper investigates the market effects of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by looking at the changes that the passage has brought in trader s information asymmetry, proxied by market makers bid-ask spreads. Before the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley, firms were only required to publicly disclose internal control deficiencies if there was a change in auditor. I hypothesize that if compliance with SOX 404 increases internal control over financial reporting, investor confidence in annual reports will also increase. Superior disclosures available to all traders lead to a reduction of information asymmetry. An increase in the quality of financial information should determine a narrowing of market maker s bid-ask spreads because the adverse selection cost is lower. I identify the cost components of the bid-ask spread for a sample of stocks surrounding the implementation of SOX 404. My expectation is that market makers react to the implementation of Section 404 as if information asymmetry has diminished, considering that the chances of trading against better informed traders are lower. ····· 1036119832

Energy is a vital input for sustainable development and economic growth of any country. Refrigerated storage for fruits and vegetables is not available in rural or remote locations due to acute shortage of grid electricity in these areas. So, without having a conventional energy source at these areas, the existence of vapour compression refrigerators connected to photovoltaic panels could present a possible solution to this problem. The study was planned in the following sequential manner. Installation of solar photovoltaic panel, and evaluate its performance. Fabrication of an experimental storage structure. Design, fabrication and evaluation of an experimental unit representing the vapour compression cooling. Economic evaluation of stand alone SPV powered cold storage plant. The power output of the panel was measured under no-load, on-load, with and without recirculation of air inside cold store. The maintained conditions by the designed systems can sustain potato tubers in their most edible and marketable conditions. The PV system is highly competitive with the conventional grid electricity generation. ····· 1036119688

Implementation of media policy in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book examines the implementation of media policy designed by the international community in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Research was conducted by the analyzing and comparing three case studies the establishment of the Communication Regulatory Agency and the Press Council, and the reform of the Public Broadcasting System of BiH. The main findings show a clear connection between the historical context within which policy interventions were shaped, the nature of policy interventions and implementation. Problems that occurred during the process of designing policy solutions had an impact on subsequent implementation. It can be noted that the behavior of local decision makers is a constant, reflected either in the obstruction of proposed reforms, or indifference towards them. On the other hand, in spite of the intention to conduct comprehensive reform, international decision makers did not show enough understanding or support to ensure proper implementation of designed policies. This study shows that resistance to implementation is primarily a product of the lack of political reforms, which, if properly conducted, would create a better context for media reforms. ····· 1036119622

India being a developing country still faces the challenge of large-scale female foeticide and infanticide as evident by Census 2001 data that shows an alarming decline in female to male ratio. This reduced female sex ratio contributes to domestic, social and sexual violence on women. In order to check female foeticide, the Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act, 1994 was enacted and became operational from 1st January 1996. Due to certain inadequacies, practical difficulties in its implementation and due to scientific advances to select sex of a child before conception, the Act has been amended, with effect from February 2003 with motives of preventing the misuse of pre-natal diagnostic techniques for Sex selective abortions. This article is an attempt to throw light on important features of PNDT act and the need of active participation of the people for its successful implementation. Gender bias and deep-rooted prejudice and discrimination against girl child and preference of male child have led to large-scale female foeticide in the last decade. The declining sex ratio is the major concern for all. ····· 1036119584

Valuation of Segregated Funds in India

The objective of this work is to develop an econometric model which is less complex than the Wilkie s model for valuing and managing financial risks associated with benefit options regarding segregated fund contracts in India. The empirical studies conducted in this thesis revealed the following results. The South Asian stock markets (Sri-Lanka, India and Pakistan) did not show evidence of unit-roots, but the returns are correlated. Therefore, the most appropriate model capable of capturing the long-term equity return process for a practical dynamic hedging of segregated fund contracts in India is the VAR(1) model. Also, the security bonds with various maturities from the Indian money market show evidence of long-run equilibrium relationship. This characteristic makes it possible for the various yields to maturity (YTM) to be modeled jointly via a VECM representation. Therefore, the valuation model being proposed, combines ideas from financial engineering, life contingencies and econometrics. Assessment of the model via simulation has shown that, the net present value of outgo for a 10 year contract for a life age 50 is mostly in the negative. ····· 1036119482
