The External Relations of Less Developed Countries: A Manual of
Economic Policies by Hans Bachman. Frederick A. Praeger, New York,
1968.
Authors: Chowdhury A. H. M. Nuruddin
Published: July 2018

There is no dearth of writings on international economic
policies as even the limited bibliography appended to this volume will
suggest. One is, there¬fore, justified in being somewhat fastidious in
appraising yet another entry in this already crowded field. The book
attempts to cover the entire domain of commercial policies. This makes
the treatment of most of the topics, of necessity, cursory and
elementary, since summarizing or synthesizing all the writings in such a
broad field is impossible without running into encyclopaedic
proportions. Let us, therefore, look at the work from the point of view
of those for whom this is primarily meant. In the words of the author,
"the manual, in the first place, is destined for ministries of
economics, trade and finance in less-developed countries and for the
training of all those who will eventually assume responsibilities in the
field of commercial policy at all levels in the government, in
semi-official and private business organizations, and even in private
enterprises engaged in foreign
Some Observations on the Efficiency of Industrialization
Authors: Rozen Marvin E.
Published: July 2018

Increasingly manifest, in recent discussions of economic
policy-making of less developed countries, has been a greater concern
for problems of industrial effi¬ciency [see, 1 ;2;3;4;5;6;10]. This
awakening interest is stirred by the realization that the process of
industrialization has all too often led to a high-cost industrial
structure, and a consequent inability to compete effectively in world
markets and against imports. Understandably, absorption of national
energies in the task of establishing an industrial structure has
frequently meant that consideration of its qualitative performance was
not given sufficient weight. Equally understandably, no one should
expect the creation, ab initio, of a smoothly functioning industrial
system.
Numerical Models of Economic Development by A. Qayum. Rotterdam
University Press, 1966.
Authors: Haque Wahidul
Published: July 2018

From the author's preface, "this is a collection of some of my
published and unpublished articles containing simple models relating to
problems of economic development of underdeveloped countries. A
characteristic common to all the models discussed here is that they lead
to numbers or to figures corresponding to numbers". This is an indirect
way of saying that the author has taken a quantitative approach to
problems of development as opposed to the usual verbal —empirical
approach. In that the author has the reviewer's whole-hearted
support.

Equity-oriented Design in Open Education
Authors: Kalir Jeremiah (Remi)
Published: July 2018

Structured AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this article is threefold: a) to describe the equity-oriented design of a publicly accessible and openly networked computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) initiative that has supported educator discussion about equity topics; b) to identify design principles for equity-oriented design in open education; and c) to propose a model for the design of open learning initiatives that are mutually committed to educational equity and educational openness.Design: This article draws from design-based research methodology, specifically design narrative and the worked example. The article is one response to the need for more “designerly work” in the learning sciences, generally, and more specifically in domains such as CSCL.Findings: Four design principles are identified that informed the equity-oriented creation and iteration of the Marginal Syllabus, an open CSCL initiative: Leveraging the open web, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships, working with open content, and engaging professional learning as an open practice. This article also advances the open palimpsests model for equity-oriented design in open education. The model integrates design principles to assist CSCL and open education designers and researchers in creating or iterating projects to be more equity-oriented learning opportunities.Originality: This article’s design narrative identifies Marginal Syllabus design principles and advances the open palimpsests model for equity-oriented design in open education. The design narrative demonstrates how critical perspectives on the relationship between equity and digital technology can encourage collaboration among diverse project stakeholders, attune to the dynamics of power and agency, and respond to the worldly needs of partners and participants.

Hardness of covering all the triangles
Authors: Nguyen Thinh D.
Published: July 2018

Vertex Cover and Edge Cover are two classical examples that are often used to show the contrast of problem solvability. While Vertex Cover is hard, Edge Cover can be solved in polynomial time. We claim that the former remains intractable even if the objects to be covered are triangles instead of edges. Therefore, one more combinatorial optimization problem, namely Covering Triangles, is added to the decades-old list of the problems in this research area.

The TRIPS Article 31 Tug of War Developing Country Compulsory Licensing of Pharmaceutical Patents and Developed Country Retaliation
Authors: Volman Lucas
Published: July 2018

My dissertation examines compulsory licensing under Article 31 of the TRIPS Agreement by looking at the use of such licensing by developing countries, as well as retaliatory and restrictive measures imposed by developed countries. In doing so, it looks at the right to health, and price and intellectual property considerations for access to medicines in developing countries. It further explores the TRIPS compulsory licensing rules themselves to present compulsory licensing as a legitimate, and at times necessary, policy measure under international law. Then, it examines how compulsory licensing has been used and restricted since TRIPS, and how the compulsory licence relates to voluntary licensing and international free trade agreements, both of which are factors for the development of compulsory licensing strategies in developing countries.
Spatial narrative context modulates semantic (but not visual) competition during discourse processing
Authors: Williams Glenn Patrick , Kukona Anuenue , Kamide Yuki
Published: July 2018

Recent research highlights the influence of (e.g., task) context on conceptual retrieval. In order to assess whether conceptual representations are context-dependent rather than static, we investigated the influence of spatial narrative context on accessibility for lexical-semantic information by exploring competition effects. In two visual world experiments, participants listened to narratives describing semantically related (piano-trumpet; Experiment 1) or visually similar (bat-cigarette; Experiment 2) objects in the same or separate narrative locations while viewing arrays displaying these (“target” and “competitor”) objects and other distractors. Upon re-mention of the target, we analysed eye movements to the competitor. In Experiment 1, we observed semantic competition only when targets and competitors were described in the same location; in Experiment 2, we observed visual competition regardless of context. We interpret these results as consistent with context-dependent approaches, such that spatial narrative context dampens accessibility for semantic but not visual information in the visual world.
Personal Failure Makes Society seem Fonder: An Inquiry into the Roots of Social Interdependence
Authors: Orehek Edward , Kruglanski Arie W.
Published: July 2018

A universal consideration among people concerns the relative premium placed on social interdependence relative to self-reliant independence. While interdependence requires submission to social constraints, it also offers empowerment through coalition. While independence fosters freedom, it also imposes individual responsibility for attained outcomes whether good or bad. In four studies we obtain the first direct evidence that failure prompts a shift toward interdependence. Implications are discussed for conditions under which people are driven to collective action.
The language of lies: A preregistered direct replication of Suchotzki and Gamer (2018; Experiment 2)
Authors: Verschuere Bruno , Frank Avi , Biberci Sena
Published: July 2018

Is lying in a different language easier or more difficult? The Emotional Distance and the Cognitive Load hypothesis give competing answers. Suchotzki and Gamer (2018; hereafter SG18) measured the time native German speakers needed to initiate honest and deceptive answers to German and English questions. Lie-truth difference in RTs were smaller in the non-native compared to the native language, d = .97, 95%CI [.58; 1.35]. In our preregistered replication, we tested native Dutch speakers in Dutch and English. While the observed effect was smaller, d = .54 [95% CI: .27, .80], we also found that foreign language use diminishes lie-truth differences in RTs, because primarily truth telling is impeded by foreign language use The findings indicate that non-native speakers struggle with quickly retrieving the truth, hampering lie-truth discrimination for statements in non-native language. Caution should be exerted when judging the credibility of statements given in non-native language.
An assessment of the impact of silviculture and forest management regimes to forest cover change in the Churia region during 1992 to 2014
Authors: Pokharel B. K. , Uprety D. R. , Niraula R. R. , Pokharel P. R.
Published: July 2018

A study was conducted in the Churia region in 2014 to assess the change in forest cover as an outcome of the performance of various forest management regimes and silvicultural practices with the main objective to find the gap between those two. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) were used to compare the satellite imageries for the period of 1992 to 2014 in order to analyse the state of forest cover change. The demarcation of community forest boundaries was conducted based on available boundary maps and transferred to Google earth and GIS platform. Results showed that overall forest cover in the Churia region was increased by 7500 ha (1%) in 22 years, i.e. 1.35 million ha (76%) in 1992 to 1.36 million ha (77%) in 2014. The rate of deforestation in the Churia region was reduced as compared to the national average. However, degradation of landscape was visible at riverbeds and cultivation lands close to the riverbeds. It was also found that the area of dense forest was increased by 42,000 ha, whereas the area covered by bushes and grassland was reduced by 39,000 ha. The study further showed that there was a decline in cultivated land by 20,000 ha. Comparing the forest cover change in community forests with that of other management regimes, silvicultural practices in community forest areas have brought relatively better positive changes in the forest condition. It may be due to periodic silviculture operations carried out collectively by local communities. In the assessment, however, various elements of tenure rights and responsibilities of community, government and private forest and tree owners were identified and key silvicultural practices adopted by these regimes were highlighted as the drivers of positive or negative outcomes of forest cover change. Banko JanakariA Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal Special Issue No. 4, 2018, Page : 36-44
Crown and regeneration responses to silviculture systems in Pine and Sal forests: preliminary results from silviculture trials in Mid-hills Nepal
Authors: Cedamon E. , Paudel G. , Basyal M. , Nuberg I. , Paudel N.
Published: July 2018

Silviculture trial plots were established in Kavre and Lamjung districts by the EnLiFT Project (Enhancing livelihoods and food security through improved agroforestry and community forestry in Nepal) to examine stand response to selected silviculture systems – uniform shelterwood, selection system, and negative thinning and as a showcase to forest users for these silviculture systems. This paper analyses the extent of canopy gaps on these trial plots after one-year of application of silviculture treatments and regeneration development. Using crown photographs, crown cover was estimated and compared between silviculture systems. The analysis showed that rigid silviculture systems like shelterwood and selection systems created canopy gap larger than negative thinning in Pine plantations and the rate of natural regeneration was directly related with the canopy gap. However, in Shorea robusta-Castanopsis- Schima (Sal-Katus-Chilaune) forest, negative thinning created canopy gap larger than selection system due to removal of 4-D trees, majority of trees were Schima wallichii (Chilaune), which typically have large spreading crown. Although, it may be too early to conclude the relationship between regeneration development and canopy gap from the trial plots, it became clear that silviculture operations have significant role in promoting higher regeneration. Selection and shelterwood systems are better than current silviculture regime represented by negative thinning in this study. Banko JanakariA Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal Special Issue No. 4, 2018, Page: 98-103
Linking silvicultural aspects of pro-poor leasehold forestry for socio-economic benefits to the poor and vulnerable communities
Authors: Yadav K. K. , Kafley G. P. , Yadav K. P.
Published: July 2018

Government of Nepal has adopted different models like community forestry, leasehold forestry, collaborative forestry, buffer zone community forestry and public land agroforestry for management of forest resources. Poor focused leasehold forestry is only the approach adopted since early 1990 that has two major objectives: livelihood improvement and environmental conservation. Forest user groups of 5–15 households (HHs) are provided with part of national forests for a period of initial lease of 40 years. Leased forests are managed mainly with forestry crops, forage and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to meet the dual objectives. Past studies and researches have indicated that leasehold forests are better than the hand over time however they are inadequate in dealing with silvicultural aspects in leasehold forestry (LF). This research paper has highlighted the significance of silvicultural aspects of leasehold forestry for overall socio-economic benefits to the poor and vulnerable forest users. Review of the existing policy and legal documents, studies and progress reports of the leasehold forestry projects implemented during the last two decades, consultation with leasehold forest user groups from five districts (Tehrathum, Makawanpur, Tanahun, Pyuthan and Doti) formed the main source of data for this article. Further, author’s own experiences in the sector were taken as supporting reliable information for the study. The study found that silvicultural practices, except plantations and weeding, were not adopted in leasehold forest but there was great potential for such practices to maximize the socio-economic benefits. Proper use of silvicultural practices might have increased contribution to currently realized benefits like (i) increased income of members i.e. poorest families (having less than 3 months secured foods) were reduced over years, (ii) group members had increased access to different networks and cooperatives, (iii) participation of women, poor and indigenous people increased in the decision-making process, and (iv) forest coverage was increased with respect to the hand over time. Some issues on silviculture aspects included proper guidelines for silvicultural methods, capacity of staff and leasehold forest user group members, smaller sizes of leasehold forests, and promotion of appropriate species. Banko JanakariA Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal Special Issue No. 4, 2018, Page: 113-119
Towards active utilisation of community forestry: Silvo-institutional model for sustainable forest management in Nepal
Authors: Paudel N. S. , Ojha H. , Shrestha K. , Cedamon E. , Karki R. , Paudel G. , Basyal M. , Nuberg I. , Dangal S.
Published: July 2018

This paper explains what we term the ‘silvo-institutional model’ for a more productive, sustainable and equitable management of community forests in Nepal. The paper draws on four years of action research in six research sites of Kavre and Lamjung districts, complemented by the review of silviculture-based forest management by Government of Nepal in various parts of the country. The findings indicate that first, early silviculture-based forest management initiatives have failed because they did not adequately consider the policy and institutional dimensions. Second, current initiatives, while looked promising for the active utilisation of community forests, have faced with complex regulatory and institutional barriers. We argue that a new ‘silvoinstitutional model’, which combines technological and institutional dimensions, has a potential to increase the prospect of successful implementation of silviculture-based forest management.Banko JanakariA Journal of Forestry Information for NepalSpecial Issue No. 4, 2018, Page: 120-129

Public governance-constraints and challenges for social work practice
Authors: Jessen Jorunn Theresia
Published: July 2018

In the wake of public sector reforms, the work environment of professionals is changing; there is more description of results and outputs and tighter requirements of front-line work. The changes taking place address a shift towards managerial forms of control and organizational regulations in a range of Western countries. However, the new managerial regimes have different consequences for professionals as objects and subjects of governance. This paper investigates the extent of managerial and administrative regulations in the Norwegian social services, questioning the asserted negative impacts on professional autonomy in social work practice. The empirical data derive from a survey conducted among practitioners and managers in 125 local agencies, and compared to bureaucratic rules and agency procedures that set constraints, the new management model allows both autonomy and flexibility in choosing means and measures in various fields. Most of all, collegial support plays a significant role in providing professional standards for decision-making. The increase of management techniques and standard procedures in public administration concurrently challenges social work values, translating the social services into a field of more regulatory practices.
Are we right to blame it all on colonialism?
Authors: Katenga-Kaunda Alinane Priscilla Kamlongera
Published: July 2018

The study on the history school subject showed that any reenactment of the history discipline should include the reinterpretation of identities from a historical perspective, and this reinterpretation should start with colonial history because this is where it all began. A different approach to history will have positive implications on society’s view of gender, as it will encourage the inclusion of devalued categories such as women, black women and third-world women. But does this mean that colonialism is fully to blame for all the gender issues, as is the case within the Malawian history syllabus? This paper explores the influence of colonialism on the history/social and environmental sciences primary school subject.
Social workers’ construction of “family” in Cuban context
Authors: Farias Angela Isabel Peña , Hernández Rosa María Voghon
Published: July 2018

This paper presents preliminary research about the process of the construction of concepts in social work. In this case, it is referred to as a social worker’s construction of “family” as a concept and as a field of practice in a current Cuban context. Based on an exploratory and qualitative research design, the paper presents an analysis that also opens to the discussion about social work with families in Cuba. The findings shows that Cuban social workers think of family as a group with cohabitation and affinity, which is more important than consanguinity, as a dimension for family definitions. They also point at structures of family, special bonds in family network and the social internal and external functions of family in their definitions. Among these functions, the transmission of cultural values, as well as the emotional support and shelter for members, seems relevant.

Regarding family as a field of practice, they all share the criteria that is necessary for practice to develop a contextual analysis of each situation that goes from macro-contextual aspects to the micro-reality of family. The importance of structural matters and their impact on family functions is also a common idea, which is nucleated around a multigenerational reality of Cuban families and evaluated as a positive or negative impact depending on the case in question.

They consider social work with families, and social work in general, to be in a critical situation in relation to losing professionalization and social recognition. The reasons explaining these ideas have to do with the instability of social work institutionalization and the recent retraction of social services. These variations have obeyed the changes in a Cuban context that affects the entire welfare system and social work’s position in it.

The role of prevention strategies in achieving HCV elimination in Canada: what are the remaining challenges?
Authors: Høj Stine Bordier , Minoyan Nanor , Artenie Andreea Adelina , Grebely Jason , Bruneau Julie
Published: July 2018

Background

The worldwide economic, health, and social consequences of drug use disorders are devastating. Injection drug use is now a major factor contributing to hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission globally, and it is an important public health concern.

Methods

This article presents a narrative review of scientific evidence on public health strategies for HCV prevention among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Canada.

Results

A combination of public health strategies including timely HCV detection and harm reduction (mostly needle and syringe programmes and opioid substitution therapy) have helped to reduce HCV transmission among PWID. The rising prevalence of pharmaceutical opioid and methamphetamine use and associated HCV risk in several Canadian settings has prompted further innovation in harm reduction, including supervised injection facilities and low-threshold opioid substitution therapies. Further significant decreases in HCV incidence and prevalence, and in corresponding disease burden, can only be accomplished by reducing transmission among high-risk persons and enhancing access to HCV treatment for those at the greatest risk of disease progression or viral transmission. Highly effective and tolerable direct-acting antiviral therapies have transformed the landscape for HCV-infected patients and are a valuable addition to the prevention toolkit. Curing HCV-infected persons, and thus eliminating new infections, is now a real possibility.

Conclusions

Prevention strategies have not yet ended HCV transmission, and sharing of injecting equipment among PWID continues to challenge the World Health Organization goal of eliminating HCV as a global public health threat by 2030. Future needs for research, intervention implementation, and uptake in Canada are discussed.
