Morbitiy Among Urban Children in India. Distinctions Between Slum and Non-slum Areas
Creators: name: Ghosh, Saswata
name: Bose, Srimoyee
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: Although there is evidence of a remarkable decline in infant and child mortality in developing countries during the last quarter of the twentieth century, the incidence and the prevalence of infectious diseases, particularly acute respiratory infections (ARI), diarrhoea and deficiency symptoms such as anaemia and undernutrition among children still persists at an alarmingly high level. especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asian countries. The present study investigates the demographic and socio-economic risks of adverse health conditions during childhood as measured according to National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-3, 2005-06 data. The multiple regression analyses show that children belonging to the lower socio-economic strata and those in slum areas are more susceptible to health risks (both acute and chronic conditions) compared to non-slum children; household income, child's current age, birth weight, maternal education, religion and caste etc. have very significant influence on child health status in urban India.

Periurban Water Use, Human Health and Well-being. Emerging Issues in South Asia
Creators: name: Narain, Vishal
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: This paper describes how urbanization and the policies and institutions shaping it affects the health and well-being of periurban residents in South Asia with regard to the access to and consumption of water. In much of South Asia, sewage-based irrigation is emerging as an important source of irrigation for periurban agriculture, with severe implications for the health of the consumers and producers of the crops. Many periurban settlements lack formal tenurial status, and have no access to organized sources of drinking water, causing the residents to consume contaminated groundwater. This often explains the incidence of various skin diseases. Periruban residents also lose access to water of a sufficient quality and quantity as land is increasingly acquired for urban purposes. Factories relocated from the city in response to judicial orders to keep the city clean, contaminate local aquifers, and construction of highways disrupts water collection routes. The paper describes the policy and institutional factors provoking these problems.

description: As India becomes ever more urbanised, urban health issues are becoming new impediments for future development. Yet, the topic has received only scant attention in research and politics. This contribution discusses determinants and outcomes of urbanisation on health and the effects of health on urbanisation. First, it provides a framework for the analysis of health in the urban context. After a brief description of the Indian urbanisation process, the paper analyses - on the basis of secondary data - the connections between (1) health and socio-economic structures, (2) health and environment and (3) health and the health care system. The finding show that urban India suffers from a double burden of disease and growing health disparities. In the conclusion, policy implications are described and areas for future research are defined.

description: Presenilins (PSs) are the catalytic core of γ-secretase complex. However, the mechanism of FAD-associated PS mutations in AD pathogenesis still remains elusive. Here we review the general biology and mechanism of γ-secretase and focus on the catalytic components – presenilins and their biological functions and contributions to the AD pathogenesis. The functions of presenilins are divided into γ-secretase dependent and γ-secretase independent ones. The γ-secretase dependent functions of presenilins are exemplified by the sequential cleavages in the processing of APP and Notch; the γ-secretase independent functions of presenilins include stabilizing β-catenin in Wnt signaling pathway, regulating calcium homeostasis and their interaction with synaptic transmission.
Structural advantages for ant colony optimisation inherent in permutation scheduling problems
Creators: name: Montgomery, James
name: Randall, Marcus
name: Hendtlass, Tim
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: When using a constructive search algorithm, solutions to scheduling problems such as the job shop and open shop scheduling problems are typically represented as permutations of the operations to be scheduled. The combination of this representation and the use of a constructive algorithm introduces a bias typically favouring good solutions. When ant colony optimisation is applied to these problems, a number of alternative pheromone representations are available, each of which interacts with this underlying bias in different ways. This paper explores both the structural aspects of the problem that introduce this underlying bias and the ways two pheromone representations may either lead towards poorer or better solutions over time. Thus it is a synthesis of a number of recent studies in this area that deal with each of these aspects independently.
Measurement models of factors influencing academic achievement and completion of tertiary studies
Creators: name: Taafe, Mike
name: Cunningham, Everarda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Studies involving both technical and further education (TAFE) students and university students have identified social integration, motivation and quality of teaching as important factors influencing non-completion and academic achievement. This study develops and tests a measurement model that captures these constructs in tertiary students. Questionnaire responses were collected from 165 TAFE marketing students and 148 university undergraduate psychology students. A three-factor independent cluster measurement model comprising latent factors for social integration, motivation and teaching was specified and tested using confirmatory factor analysis. While the three-factor model was found to fit the data well for the students from TAFE, contrary to expectations, this model was not valid for university students. The lack of congruence between the results may be partly due to the greater degree of skewness of the items comprising the motivation factor in the university cohort. A two-factor model comprising only the teaching and social integration factors was subsequently specified for the university sample and was found to have adequate fit. Further research is warranted to determine the extent to which the measure might be generalised to other tertiary student populations.

Excellence as a construct for micro-enterprise: New Zealand owner-manager perceptions
Creators: name: Jurado, Tanya
name: Massey, Claire
name: Walker, Robyn
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper reports on part of a wider qualitative study in which 49 owner-managers of New Zealand micro-enterprises were interviewed about firm performance. We adopt a social constructionist approach to analyse responses to the question: 'What does business excellence mean to you?' Most owner-managers of micro-enterprises find the term business excellence to be meaningful, but standard business excellence frameworks are unfamiliar and may be viewed as irrelevant by those managing micro-enterprises. Micro-enterprises may be distinct from SMEs in their conceptualisation and internalisation of business excellence. Our analysis shows excellence for managers of micro-enterprises is a relationship-driven phenomenon represented in terms of personal values, good service, personal satisfaction and positive relationships with clients. Frequently these characterisations are presented against the 'other' of business-in-general. That managers of micro-enterprises construct business excellence differently from accepted models has implications for government policy affecting micro-enterprises. Policy must recognise the special character and diversity of micro-enterprise and attempt to negotiate meaningful interaction that will enable the aspirations of both micro-enterprise and Government to be met.

description: Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and novel treatment modalities to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced disease are highly desirable. Oncolytic virotherapy is a promising approach for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may be a factor in the regulation of tumor-specific viral replication. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether miRNA-145 regulated oncolytic herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) can selectively kill NSCLC cells with reduced collateral damage to normal cells. Methods: We incorporated 4 copies of miRNA-145 target sequences into the 3′-untranslated region of an HSV-1 essential viral gene, ICP27, to create AP27i145 amplicon viruses and tested their target specificity and toxicity on normal cells and lung cancer cells in vitro. Results: miRNA-145 expression in normal cells was higher than that in NSCLC cells. AP27i145 replication was inversely correlated with the expression of miRNA-145 in infected cells. This oncolytic HSV-1 selectively reduced cell proliferation and prevented the colony formation of NSCLC cells. The combination of radiotherapy and AP27i145 infection was significantly more potent in killing cancer cells than each therapy alone. Conclusions: miRNA-145-regulated oncolytic HSV-1 is a promising agent for the treatment of NSCLC.
Photon statistics and signal to noise ratio for incoherent diffraction imaging

Year: 2020

description: Intensity interferometry is a well known method in astronomy. Recently, a related method called incoherent diffractive imaging (IDI) was proposed to apply intensity correlations of x-ray fluorescence radiation to determine the 3D arrangement of the emitting atoms in a sample. Here we discuss inherent sources of noise affecting IDI and derive a model to estimate the dependence of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) on the photon counts per pixel, the temporal coherence (or number of modes), and the shape of the imaged object. Simulations in two- and three-dimensions have been performed to validate the predictions of the model. We find that contrary to coherent imaging methods, higher intensities and higher detected counts do not always correspond to a larger SNR. Also, larger and more complex objects generally yield a poorer SNR despite the higher measured counts. The framework developed here should be a valuable guide to future experimental design.

description: An electron beam passing through a tube which is lined on the inside with a dielectric layer will radiate energy in the THz range due to the interaction with the boundary. The resonant enhancement of certain frequencies is conditioned by structure parameters as tube radius and permittivity of the dielectric layer. In low loss structures narrow-band radiation is generated which can be coupled out by suitable antennas. For higher frequencies the coupling to the resistive outer metal layer becomes increasingly important. The losses in the outer layer prohibit to reach high frequencies with narrow-band conditions. Instead short broad-band pulses can be generated with still attractive power levels. In the first section of the paper a general theory of the impedance of a two-layer structure is presented and the coupling to the outer resistive layer is discussed. Approximate relations for the radiated energy, power and pulse length for a set of structure parameters are derived and compared to numerical results in the following section. Finally first numerical result of the out-coupling of the radiation by means of a Vlasov antenna and estimates of the achieved beam quality are presented.

description: Sentiment analysis, a fundamental task in the field of natural language processing (NLP), focuses on identifying and interpreting the emotional tone conveyed by textual content. This task plays a pivotal role in applications such as opinion mining, customer feedback analysis, and social media monitoring, where understanding sentiments helps organizations and individuals make informed decisions. In this study, we employ the T5 (Text-To-Text Transfer Transformer) model, a state-of-the-art transformer-based architecture, to address the challenges associated with sentiment analysis. Unlike traditional models, which are often limited to specific tasks, T5’s text-to-text framework allows for a unified approach to various NLP problems, including sentiment classification. We fine-tune the T5 model on a curated sentiment-labeled dataset to evaluate its effectiveness in distinguishing between different emotional polarities, such as positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Our experimental methodology involves rigorous evaluation using widely accepted metrics, including precision, recall, and F1 score, to provide a comprehensive assessment of the model’s performance. Additionally, we propose mathematical formulations to quantify and analyze the model's accuracy and reliability across diverse scenarios. To further validate the robustness of our approach, we compare the T5 model’s performance against traditional machine learning and deep learning models commonly used in sentiment analysis. The results, presented through graphical visualizations, highlight the superior classification capabilities of the T5 model. These findings underscore the potential of T5 in advancing sentiment analysis and its applicability in real-world scenarios, where understanding human emotions is critical.

description: Baculoviruses are one of the largest viruses that replicate in the nucleus of their host cells. During infection, the rod-shape, 250-nm long nucleocapsid delivers its genome into the nucleus. Electron microscopy evidence suggests that baculoviruses, specifically the Alphabaculoviruses (nucleopolyhedroviruses) and the Betabaculoviruses (granuloviruses), have evolved two very distinct modes for doing this. Here we review historical and current experimental results of baculovirus nuclear import studies, with an emphasis on electron microscopy studies employing the prototypical baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus infecting cultured cells. We also discuss the implications of recent studies towards theories of nuclear transport mechanisms.

Venture capital, biotechnology firms and network forms of organisation in the Antipodes
Creators: name: Gilding, Michael
name: Bunton, Vikki
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper addresses network forms of organisation among dedicated biotechnology firms (DBFs) in Melbourne, replicating the network methods of a major US study and drawing upon interviews with industry informants. It argues that the emerging body of research on biotechnology clusters and networks outside the world hubs places too much emphasis upon ‘precocious internationalization’ and ‘distant networking’ at the expense of regional clusters and networks – especially in relation to venture capital. Melbourne DBFs rely overwhelmingly upon regional finance from local and interstate financial firms. This is because venture capitalists in the industry take advantage of local knowledge, and are unwilling to consider investment in firms too far away from their homes. In turn, their investments promote experimentation with new financial conceptions of the firm and, more generally, network forms of organisation.

description: Background. Transposable elements (TEs) and other repetitive elements are a large and dynamically evolving part of eukaryotic genomes, especially in plants where they can account for a significant proportion of genome size. Their dynamic nature gives them the potential for use in identifying and characterizing crop germplasm. However, their repetitive nature makes them challenging to study using conventional methods of molecular biology. Next generation sequencing and new computational tools have greatly facilitated the investigation of TE variation within species and among closely related species. Results (i) We generated low-coverage Illumina whole genome shotgun sequencing reads for multiple individuals of cacao (Theobroma cacao) and related species. These reads were analysed using both an alignment/mapping approach and a de novo (graph based clustering) approach. (ii) A standard set of ultra-conserved orthologous sequences (UCOS) standardized TE data between samples and provided phylogenetic information on the relatedness of samples. (iii) The mapping approach proved highly effective within the reference species but underestimated TE abundance in interspecific comparisons relative to the de novo methods. (iv) Individual T. cacao accessions have unique patterns of TE abundance indicating that the TE composition of the genome is evolving actively within this species. (v) LTR/Gypsy elements are the most abundant, comprising c.10% of the genome. (vi) Within T. cacao the retroelement families show an order of magnitude greater sequence variability than the DNA transposon families. (vii) Theobroma grandiflorum has a similar TE composition to T. cacao, but the related genus Herrania is rather different, with LTRs making up a lower proportion of the genome, perhaps because of a massive presence (c. 20%) of distinctive low complexity satellite-like repeats in this genome. Conclusions (i) Short read alignment/mapping to reference TE contigs provides a simple and effective method of investigating intraspecific differences in TE composition. It is not appropriate for comparing repetitive elements across the species boundaries, for which de novo methods are more appropriate. (ii) Individual T. cacao accessions have unique spectra of TE composition indicating active evolution of TE abundance within this species. TE patterns could potentially be used as a “fingerprint” to identify and characterize cacao accessions.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Fake news is spreading quickly on social media and other platforms, which is quite concerning since it may have serious negative effects on both the national and societal levels. Extensive research efforts are currently underway to detect and combat this issue. This study surveys the existing research on fake news identification and studies the efficacy of traditional ML (Machine Learning) models to develop a supervised ML method that can accurately identify fake news as either true or false. To achieve this, tools such as NLP and Python sci-kit-learn for textual analysis will be utilized. The process will involve feature extraction and vectorization, with the proposal of employing the Python sci-kit-learn library for tasks like feature extraction and tokenization of text data. This library provides valuable devices including Count Vectorizer and Tiff Vectorizer. Additionally, feature selection methods will be employed to test and detect the most suitable features that yield the greatest precision, as examined by the confusion matrix results.
X-IDS and R-XIDS: An eBPF-based solution for security attacks in IoT environments

description: The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices including smart thermostats, industrial sensors, and medical wearables has transformed automation and connectivity across various domains. However, these devices are often resource-constrained and lack robust security mechanisms, exposing them to threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and routing-based attacks. Traditional user-space security systems are often too resource-intensive or static to defend against these evolving threats effectively.This thesis investigates using the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) as a lightweight, kernel-level framework to enhance security in constrained IoT environments. Two Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are proposed and evaluated: X-IDS, which targets high-volume network-based attacks such as DDoS using eBPF and eXpress Data Path (XDP), and R-XIDS, which focuses on detecting sophisticated routing anomalies through MAC entropy, Time-To-Live (TTL) variance, and route path deviations. The study aims to answer the following questions: How can eBPF enhance security in resource-constrained systems, such as the Internet of Things (IoT)? What specific eBPF capabilities enable efficient defense against DDoS and routing attacks? And what implementation challenges arise during real-world deployment?Experimental evaluations are conducted on both IDS systems. X-IDS demonstrated a substantial reduction in CPU usage (stabilizing around 30 - 36\% under load) and significantly low processing latencies (approximately 4~$\mu$s ), while dropping up to 40\% of attack traffic before it reached the host stack. R-XIDS, in contrast, proved effective in detecting and mitigating route manipulation attempts, with selective packet drops triggered by MAC rotation and TTL heuristics. Notably, both systems showed minimal overhead and strong responsiveness, with real-time packet filtering and adaptive mitigation based on eBPF maps.The results validate that eBPF-based IDS solutions can offer high-speed, low-latency, and dynamic protection tailored for IoT devices. X-IDS provides a scalable defense against volumetric attacks, and R-XIDS complements this by addressing stealthier routing-layer threats. Together, they form a comprehensive strategy to enhance security in future IoT deployments in diverse and resource-sensitive environments.

Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum

description: The persistent economic difficulties and poverty in North Korea have forced the ruling communist regime to adopt an open-door policy. The Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) – the second free economic and trade area in the North and an outcome of Seoul’s sunshine policy towards this country – is designed to attract South Korean small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and develop the area as an export-oriented base. This project promotes inter-Korean economic cooperation, combining the South’s capital and technology with the North’s abundant land and cheap labour. Despite its promising start in 2003, the actual performance of the project has been disappointing. Moreover, the renewed inter-Korean political hostility and the demise of the sunshine policy have made the KIC’s mid- to long-term future uncertain. This study investigates the major reasons for weak participation of South Korean SMEs in the KIC and highlights the necessity of mid-course amendment of its plan, objectives and the relevant development strategies.

Year: 2016

description: The Philippine Supreme Court likes to keep its business under lock and key. Yet, in the recent past the open clash between the Court and the Executive over former president Arroyo’s attempt to leave the country and the rigorous impeachment of Chief Justice Corona promptly drew the public’s attention to the 15 highest magistrates and their professional integrity and independence. Not only did these two events arise from deficient electoral modes that swept the judges into office, but also unveiled hidden liaisons between individual justices and their appointing presidents. In his attempt to reestablish the government’s credibility, President Aquino publicly victimized his most influential political counterparts, but failed to obey to decisive constitutional norms himself. Basically, the Philippine Constitution laid the ground for an independent judiciary and only needs minor tweaking regarding the composition of the Judicial and Bar Council as well as the election of the Chief Justice. Hence, normative consistency on the part of both the Supreme Court judges and the president will be the key determinant of a fresh start in relations between the Philippine executive and the judiciary. Until then, the Philippines has to be considered a “delegative democracy”.

"Magnetic Pressure as the Engine of Inertia: A Unified Field Perspective"
Creators: name: Wilcox, Clyde Jermaine
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This work redefines inertia as an active, field-driven behavior caused by accumulated magnetic pressure rather than a passive property tied to mass. It introduces a new framework where electric and gravitational fields emerge from the dynamics of magnetic energy density. The paper outlines a threshold-based model for inertial resistance, proposes a testable equation linking magnetic pressure to inertial mass, and lays out experimental pathways to validate its claims. Positioned at the intersection of theoretical innovation and empirical challenge, this paper aims to reboot foundational physics with a dynamic, pressure-based engine of interaction.

For centuries, Filipinos have integrated various elements of Chinese and Spanish kitchens and combined them with indigenous ingredients. Traditional tastes have been retained through the indigenization of imported foodstuffs and dishes. In the context of today’s intensified globalization, fast food chains are taking advantage of these hybridization effects. One example is the Filipino fast food company Jollibee, which has successfully interpreted a Western restaurant and food concept, rearranged it in Philippine food culture, and promoted it as an institution of Philippine identity.

"Ratchaprasong is alive" - Bangkok's Decentered Spaces of Security and Public Performance
Creators: name: Haanstad, Eric
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: Iconic images of the charred remains of CentralWorld’s Zen department store continue to symbolize recent urban unrest in Thailand. Yet sites of arson and bombing near Ratchaprasong intersection are not merely zones of violence and insecurity, they also serve as new spaces for street vending, sidewalk performance and political vitality. This paper analyzes these conflicted urban spaces as emergent areas of decentralized entrepreneurship, democratic performance, and cultural generativity. I illustrate how former sites of violence are temporarily transformed into decentralized spaces of economic and political expression. As such, they lie on fault lines that represent the paradoxes of decentralization: on one hand, they are traumatic zones where a wounded governmental order institutes hyper-vigilance and surveillance. On the other hand, they are also decentered spaces of localized entrepreneurialism, street performance, and ongoing protest which commemorates moments of political suppression and expression. Though paradoxical, these decentered and performative spaces are nevertheless intertwined, embedded in state security operations and government-sanctioned profiteering. Thus, the burned buildings and reconstruction sites are culturally generative zones, where both neoliberal statecraft and its potentially revolutionary counterparts are forged.

Politiker und Prinz. Ein Raja und seine Rhetorik im indischen Wahlkampf von 2004
Creators: name: Skoda, Uwe
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: The article highlights the role and situation of a raja, a king or “prince” in the colonial jargon, during the election campaign to the Legislative Assembly of Orissa as well as to the Lok Sabha in 2004. Even after the formal abolition of royal rule in the wake of India's independence, royal families remained active in politics. Looking at this involvement the analysis, based on detailed ethnography, stresses the cultural shaping of democracy and political practice in India. Focusing on the campaign rhetoric and the approaches of M. Weber and W. H. Morris-Jones, it demonstrates the transformation of a hereditary ruler into a politician with a relatively exalted status who draws on a “traditional language” of kingship that (re-)connects him with various communities, expresses his own centrality and consciously exploits sentiment as a political resource. At the same time the raja reiterates living a humble life for politics, while opponents are defamed as living off politics. In addition, he also claims - paradoxically - a position above politics, i.e., he does not consider himself a “single-party-man”. Thus, the paper illustrates the process of indigenization of democracy in the “hinterland” of Orissa.

The Crisis of School Education in Pakistan. Of Government's Failure and New Hopes in the Growing Private Education Sector
Creators: name: Benz, Andreas
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: The school education sector in Pakistan has been in a deep crisis ever since Pakistan’s independence more than 60 years ago. Pakistan currently ranks among the bottom 18 countries worldwide in terms of educational performance and is characterized by tremendous gender, regional, class-specific and rural urban disparities in education levels. Government sector schools, which account for about two thirds of enrolment, are criticized for their weak performance and poor quality of education. The high aims put forward in successive official education policy papers have remained mere lip service due to a pervasive lack of political will to bring about real development in the education sector. The deficient government sector has long since been bypassed by the civil and military elites, who support a separate sector of elitist English-medium schools that offer top-quality education for high tuition fees. Since the mid-1990s, a new type of non-elitist private sector education institution has mushroomed throughout the country in response to the growing demand of the middle class – and even of the poor – for affordable quality education, which the government sector has proved unable to provide. The rapidity of expansion and the changed characteristics of the new non-elitist private sector schools have fuelled an ongoing controversial debate in Pakistan that is reassessing the private sector’s role in the country’s education system and its potential contribution to overcoming the educational crisis.

Social Vulnerability in Sindh. Recent Floods as Amplifiers of Social Crisis in Pakistan
Creators: name: Schütte, Stefan
name: Kreutzmann, Hermann
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: This paper describes a methodology to assess rural vulnerability after natural disasters with the help of a vulnerability-capacity index that enables an appraisement of environmental and human-made hazards in order to inform development practice in the aftermath of disaster. It focuses on the situation in the Province of Sindh in Southern Pakistan after the major flood of 2010 and aims at supporting relief and development planning through assessments of the disaster record of the affected regions and comprehensive vulnerability profiles of its population. Based on empirical fieldwork in eight villages of Sindh, the vulnerability-capacity index system is used to organise the numeric and narrative data gathered through a combination of different methodological approaches and presented in a way that pins down social and material vulnerability for development practitioners. The major areas for livelihood intervention in rural Sindh relate to establishing access to infrastructure, supporting people in replacing their productive assets and diversifying their income, thinking about measures to increase capacities for debt relief and building capacities and enabling social organisation to support rural communities to cope better with hazards.

Where Did This Debt Come from? Organizational Change, Role Ambiguity and Development in Rural Khorezm, Uzbekistan

description: We investigate the transformation of the agricultural service organizations in the post-Soviet period of transition. By means of an in-depth study of three types of agricultural service organizations in Uzbekistan’s Khorezm province, and a careful mapping of their regional and national environments, we demonstrate how the complex succession of collective farms, in combination with a series of inconsistent policies, created a situation in which organizations are forced to transform themselves and their methods of mobilizing resources in order to adapt to the new environment. In this process, reliance on hierarchies, family, clan, and administrative boundaries can help the organization to sustain itself, but in the long run, leaves the organization vulnerable. In such an environment it is extremely difficult for organizations to introduce the economic transparency and western-style accounting that would enable them to practice western-style capitalism.

Chinese Foreign Policy and Oil Security

description: China's pursuit of overseas oil resources to meet its repidly rising economic development has given rise to global concern about its intentions and the implications for the world energy market and global energy geopolitics. Yet, while security challenges posed by Chinese energy diplomacy have been well debated, most of the analyses have ignored the fact that China's apparently unscrupulous search for oil resources is factually restrained by the fundamental principles of its strategic presumptions which are based on the necessity to maintain a stable international and regional environment, reduce the negative influence of the "China threat theory", seek to avoid risks and to develop good relations with the United Steates, and insist on sovereign independence. These are the cardinal guidelines for Beijing's external behavior while sustaining its domestic development. According to Chinese strategy, "vigorous" cooperation with related countries will be the best way to ensure its oil security and concurrently penetrated American "soft containment". China's global oil strategies, aimed at gaining more energy resources, also enhance its global influence and prestige.

description: The Greater Mekong Subregion is a huge, poor area in Asia with a high growth potential and rich natural and human resources. Some intensive multilateral efforts have recentyl been made to stimulate the private sector development there. This study identifies several economic factors shaping its future opportunities and risks. They include the region's (1) general economic growth and market potential, (2) infrastructure endowment and geographic remoteness, (3) cross-border co-operation or competition for attracting FDI and future production activities, (4) industrial specialisation and competitiveness in the world and regional markets, as well as (5) institutional and macroeconomic stability.

Technological Change Management Strategies in Asian Small-Scale Businesses: Trends in Singapore
Creators: name: Menkhoff, Thomas
name: Wah, Chay Yue
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2015

description: Based on survey data on the change management behavior of Chinese small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore, the paper explores how small entrepreneurs are coping with the city-state's turbulent business environment, processes of technological advancement and accelerated change. Differences between so-called opportunistic entrepreneurs and small business ventures are examined. Conceptually, the paper is informed by theories of change management, strategic choice, entrepreneurship and Chinese business. Special emphasis is put on the identification of demographic characteristics of "technological change masters" in Singapore's small business sector so as to gain an understanding of both the dynamism and relative passivity of SME owner-managers in terms of technological change management.
