description: Since the mid of 1990s, farmers have gotten more dependent on the retail markets to sale their agricultural products, while the retail markets have substantially been concentrated on a few large marketing firms. This means that farmers' marketing risks such as receiving lower prices are getting bigger. The marketing risks can be explained with the theory of the hold-up problem and the price discrimination. To countervail these risks and increase the farmers' market options it is a more effective strategy that farmers form cooperative and partially participate in the agricultural retail market.

Mother-infant interaction

description: Background: Sensitive parenting in early parent-child relationships predicts positive developmental outcomes for children. Maternal experiences of abuse may negatively impact on their ability to have sensitive interactions with their infant. Few studies have used observational measures of sensitivity, investigated maternal abuse across the lifespan, and included contextual explanatory variables such as socioeconomic status. This study aimed to address these gaps in the literature through a secondary data analysis of rich quantitative data from a diverse inner-London maternity service. Research question: Is there an association between maternal experiences of lifetime abuse and maternal sensitivity in early mother-infant interactions, and what happens to this association when key contextual factors (social support, maternal mental health, socioeconomic and demographic factors) are accounted for? Methods: 197 mother-infant dyads were recruited in early pregnancy at their antenatal booking appointment and followed up at 28-weeks gestation and 3-months postpartum as part of a cohort study. At baseline, detailed sociodemographic and mental health information was collected and history of childhood and lifetime abuse experiences. At 3-months postpartum, motherinfant interactions were filmed, and subsequently coded using the CARE-Index to measure maternal sensitivity. Results: There was insufficient evidence to support the primary hypothesis that maternal experiences of abuse would be associated with decreased sensitivity in interactions with their 3-month-old infants. Trauma symptoms, social support, ethnicity and socioeconomic factors predicted maternal sensitivity. Conclusion: Although abuse is unlikely to independently predict sensitivity, abuse is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage, poorer social support, trauma and mental health problems, all of which can impact on sensitive parenting. Interventions to support parent-infant relationships are important tools for tackling health inequalities and need to be trauma focused.
Black hole mass and accretion rate of active galactic nuclei with double-peaked broad emission lines

description: (Abridged) Using an empirical relation between the broad line region size and optical continuum luminosity, we estimated the black hole mass and accretion rate for 135 AGNs with double-peaked broad emission lines in two samples. With black hole masses from $3\times 10^7M_\odot$ to $5\times 10^9M_\odot$, these AGNs have the dimensionless accretion rates (Eddington ratios) between 0.001 and 0.1, and the bolometric luminosity between $10^{43}erg/s$ and $10^{46}erg/s$, both being significantly larger than those of several previously known low-luminosity double-peaked AGNs. The optical-X-ray spectra indices, $α_{OX}$, of these high-luminosity double-peaked AGNs is between 1 and 1.9. Modest correlations of the $α_{OX}$ value with the Eddington ratio and bolometric luminosity indicate that double-peaked AGNs with higher Eddington ratio or higher luminosity tend to have larger $α_{OX}$ value. Therefore we suggested that the accretion process in some high-luminosity double-peaked AGNs is probably different from that of low-luminosity objects where an ADAF-like accretion flow was thought to exist. This is also supported by the presence of possible big blue bumps in the spectra of some double-peaked AGNs with higher Eddington ratios. We noticed that the prototype double-peaked emission line AGN, Arp 102B, may be an ``intermediate'' object between the high and low luminosity double-peaked AGNs. In addition, we found an apparent strong anti-correlation between the peak separation of double-peaked profile and Eddington ratio. If it is real, it may provide us a clue to understand why double-peaked broad emission lines were hardly found in luminous AGNs with Eddington ratio larger than 0.1.

Cognitive Outcomes in Children With Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Predictors of Academic Attainment
Creators: name: Black, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: Objectives: Children with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are at a significant risk of cognitive disability and academic underachievement. Where medicines have proven ineffective for seizure management, surgical intervention has proven to be valuable treatment; nevertheless, the long-term cognitive and academic outcomes for this group of children are unclear. Method: Clinical data on 72 children who underwent surgical resection for unilateral TLE were reviewed at around 12-months post-surgery. Pre- versus post-surgery cognitive and achievement assessments were compared to investigate outcomes and the contributions of demographic and epilepsy-related variables. Results: The findings suggest overall modest improvements in test scores, but with some areas of greater change, including decline in some domains. The picture is dominated, however, by substantial individual variability. Conclusions: Epilepsy surgery for TLE in childhood does not, in general, have a significant deleterious or positive effect on cognition or academic achievement, in the short-medium term. Marked individual variation is the norm. Research and clinical implications, particularly a need for longitudinal studies, are discussed.

description: We examine spherical p-branes in AdS_m x S^n, that wrap an S^p in either AdS_m (p=m-2) or S^n (p=n-2). We first construct a two-spin giant solution expanding in S^n and has spins both in AdS_m and S^n. For (m,n)={(5,5),(4,7),(7,4)}, it is 1/2 supersymmetric, and it reduces to the single-spin giant graviton when the AdS spin vanishes. We study some of its basic properties such as instantons, non-commutativity, zero-modes, and the perturbative spectrum. All vibration modes have real and positive frequencies determined uniquely by the spacetime curvature, and evenly spaced. We next consider the (0+1)-dimensional sigma-models obtained by keeping generally time-dependent transverse coordinates, describing warped product of a breathing-mode and a point-particle on S^n or AdS_m x S^1. The BPS bounds show that the only spherical supersymmetric solutions are the single and the two-spin giants. Moreover, we integrate the sigma-model and separate the canonical variables. We quantize exactly the point-particle part of the motion, which in local coordinates gives Poschl-Teller type potentials, and calculate its contribution to the anomalous dimension.

description: The increasing popularity of machine learning solutions puts increasing restrictions on this field if it is to penetrate more aspects of life. In particular, energy efficiency and speed of operation is crucial, inter alia in portable medical devices. The Reservoir Computing (RC) paradigm poses as a solution to these issues through foundation of its operation: the reservoir of states. Adequate separation of input information translated into the internal state of the reservoir, whose connections do not need to be trained, allow to simplify the readout layer thus significantly accelerating the operation of the system. In this brief review article, the theoretical basis of RC was first described, followed by a description of its individual variants, their development and state-of-the-art applications in chemical sensing and metrology: detection of impedance changes and ion sensing. Presented results indicate applicability of reservoir computing for sensing and validating the SWEET algorithm experimentally.
Living with Suicide: Collective Narrative Practice with People Experiencing Ongoing Suicidality

Suicidality

description: Introduction: Thousands die by suicide each year, and many more live with suicidal thoughts, feelings and acts. Suicide and suicidality are often conceptualised as symptoms of pathology, with the focus on treating mental illness and research participants recruited from healthcare settings. Little research has focused on what it is like to live with ongoing suicidality in the community or on how people narrate suicidality. This study aimed to explore how people live with suicidality over time, with the intention of creating collective resources from people’s narratives. Methods: A collective narrative project with contributors recruited via a community group and informal networks. Each contributor had ongoing experience of suicidality. Data was collected in interviews and group workshops. Data was analysed using dialogical narrative analysis. Collective resources are being produced from the shared narratives, in collaboration with contributors. Findings: Living with suicide was often characterised by experiences of abuse, neglect, rejection and discrimination, across multiple domains in life. People experience suicidality as a response, and sometimes a resistance, to suffering. Shame and stigmatised identities were central to people’s narratives of suicidality. Finding ways to be accepted and valued as a ‘whole’ person counteracted the diminishing effects of shame and stigma. People narrated epistemic injustice as a result of dominant framings of suicide as pathological. Finding value in lived experience and advocating for change were meaningful narratives offering ‘reasonable hope’ to participants. Conclusion: Stigma and epistemic injustice were powerful forces in people’s narratives of suicidality. A more relational understanding of suicidality as a response to unjust suffering and a resistance to dominant narratives of suicide as pathological are key to creating a more socially just approach to suicidality. Future research should adopt collective and participatory methods to co-create ways of responding to suicidality with people who have lived experience.

description: The possible existence of warm ($T_{\rm eff}\sim19\,000$ K) pulsating DA white dwarf (WD) stars, hotter than ZZ Ceti stars, was predicted in theoretical studies more than 30 yr ago. However, to date, no pulsating warm DA WD has been discovered. We re-examine the pulsational predictions for such WDs on the basis of new full evolutionary sequences. We analyze all the warm DAs observed by TESS satellite up to Sector 9 in order to search for the possible pulsational signal. We compute WD evolutionary sequences with H content in the range $-14.5 \lesssim \log(M_{\rm H}/M_{\star}) \lesssim -10$, appropriate for the study of warm DA WDs. We use a new full-implicit treatment of time-dependent element diffusion. Non-adiabatic pulsations were computed in the effective temperature range of $30\,000-10\,000$ K, focusing on $\ell= 1$ $g$ modes with periods in the range $50-1500$ s. We find that extended He/H transition zones inhibit the excitation of $g$ modes due to partial ionization of He below the H envelope, and only in the case that the H/He transition is assumed much more abrupt, models do exhibit pulsational instability. In this case, instabilities are found only in WD models with H envelopes in the range of $-14.5 \lesssim \log(M_{\rm H}/M_{\star}) \lesssim -10$ and at effective temperatures higher than those typical of ZZ Ceti stars, in agreement with previous studies. None of the 36 warm DAs observed so far by TESS satellite are found to pulsate. Our study suggests that the non-detection of pulsating warm DAs, if WDs with very thin H envelopes do exist, could be attributed to the presence of a smooth and extended H/He transition zone. This could be considered as an indirect proof that element diffusion indeed operates in the interior of WDs.

description: The deepest observations of the X-ray background approach the surface brightness of the truly diffuse component generated by Thomson scattering of cosmic X-ray photons. Available estimates of the electron density and the X-ray luminosity density of AGNs as a function of cosmological epoch are used to calculate the integral scattered X-ray background component. It is shown that the scattered component constitutes 1.0 - 1.7 % of the total background, depending on the AGN cosmic evolution. Albeit this is a minute fragment of the total flux, it becomes a perceptible fraction of the still unresolved part of the background and should be taken into account in the future rigorous assessments of the X-ray background structure. This diffuse component at energies < 1 keV sums up with the emission by WHIM to 3 - 4 %. Consequently, one should expect that integrated counts of discrete sources account for just 96 - 97 % for soft background and ~99 % at higher energies.

description: Topological protection precludes a continuous deformation between topologically inequivalent configurations in a continuum. Motivated by this concept, magnetic skyrmions, topologically nontrivial spin textures, are expected to exhibit the topological stability, thereby offering a prospect as a nanometer-scale non-volatile information carrier. In real materials, however, atomic spins are configured as not continuous but discrete distribution, which raises a fundamental question if the topological stability is indeed preserved for real magnetic skyrmions. Answering this question necessitates a direct comparison between topologically nontrivial and trivial spin textures, but the direct comparison in one sample under the same magnetic fields has been challenging. Here we report how to selectively achieve either a skyrmion state or a topologically trivial bubble state in a single specimen and thereby show how robust the skyrmion structure is in comparison with the bubbles for the first time. We demonstrate that topologically nontrivial magnetic skyrmions show longer lifetimes than trivial bubble structures, evidencing the topological stability in a real discrete system. Our work corroborates the physical importance of the topology in the magnetic materials, which has hitherto been suggested by mathematical arguments, providing an important step towards ever-dense and more-stable magnetic devices.

description: The mean-square radii of the molecules $^4$He$_3$, $^4$He$_2-^6$Li, $^4$He$_2-^7$Li and $^4$He$_2-^{23}$Na are calculated using a three-body model with contact interactions. They are obtained from a universal scaling function calculated within a renormalized scheme for three particles interacting through pairwise Dirac-delta interaction. The root-mean-square distance between two atoms of mass $m_A$ in a triatomic molecule are estimated to be of de order of ${\cal C}\sqrt{\hbar^2/[m_A(E_3-E_2)]}$, where $E_2$ is the dimer and $E_3$ the trimer binding energies, and ${\cal C}$ is a constant (varying from $\sim 0.6$ to $\sim 1$) that depends on the ratio between $E_2$ and $E_3$. Considering previous estimates for the trimer energies, we also predict the sizes of Rubidium and Sodium trimers in atomic traps.

description: Goal: As the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2019/2020 unfolds, a COVID-19 'Immunity Passport' has been mooted as a way to enable individuals to return back to work. While the quality of antibody testing, the availability of vaccines, and the likelihood of even attaining COVID-19 immunity continue to be researched, we address the issues involved in providing tamper-proof and privacy-preserving certification for test results and vaccinations. Methods: We developed a prototype mobile phone app and requisite decentralized server architecture that facilitates instant verification of tamper-proof test results. Personally identifiable information is only stored at the user's discretion, and the app allows the end-user selectively to present only the specific test result with no other personal information revealed. The architecture, designed for scalability, relies upon (a) the 2019 World Wide Web Consortium standard called 'Verifiable Credentials', (b) Tim Berners-Lee's decentralized personal data platform 'Solid', and (c) a Consortium Ethereum-based blockchain. Results: Our mobile phone app and decentralized server architecture enable the mixture of verifiability and privacy in a manner derived from public/private key pairs and digital signatures, generalized to avoid restrictive ownership of sensitive digital keys and/or data. Benchmark performance tests show it to scale linearly in the worst case, as significant processing is done locally on each app. For the test certificate Holder, Issuer (e.g. healthcare staff, pharmacy) and Verifier (e.g. employer), it is 'just another app' which takes only minutes to use. Conclusions: The app and decentralized server architecture offer a prototype proof of concept that is readily scalable, applicable generically, and in effect 'waiting in the wings' for the biological issues, plus key ethical issues raised in the discussion section, to be resolved.

The roles of Korean cattle improvement in the development of livestock industry are huge enough in the all stages of livestock development. The most obvious performance of Korean cattle improvement is the increase of livestock weight. Between 1974 and 2001, the live weight of Korean cattle for slaughter increased from 290kg to 512kg. And its annual genetic gains are 4.9kg in case of steers, and its trend is increased. Estimated benefit in monetary terms from the Korean cattle improvement is 27.7 billion won for the year of 2001 basis. Costs associated with the provision of services for the cattle improvement are 19.6 billion won. From these results, the benefit/cost ratio of improvement investment for Korean cattle is over 3.4 at year of 2001.

Developing A Novel Measure of Theory of Mind: The Friendship Game
Creators: name: Smithers, Maria
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: Advanced tests of Theory of Mind (ToM) have offered support for the ToM model of ASD with adults with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HF ASD). Other support for the ToM model of ASD has arisen from research incorporating video and audio elements to improve the real-life applicability of ToM tests for adults with HF ASD. Building upon this research, the current study develops a new measure of Theory of Mind (ToM) that adopts a game-like design that is both challenging and engaging for adults with HF ASD: The Friendship Game (TFG). The thesis documents the initial development of TFG, followed by an exploratory quantitative and qualitative validation of TFG. Eight participants with HF ASD were recruited to the study. Their individual performances on TFG were compared to their performances on Cognitive and Social Cognitive Assessments and self-report measures, relative to UK norms. The participants’ verbal responses in TFG were explored to assess perceived evidence of ToM application and accuracy. The participants also provided feedback on the testing experience to further assess TFG’s validity and relevance to the adult HF ASD population. The results provided initial support for TFG’s validation as a new measure of ToM for adults with HF ASD. Exploration of the participants’ verbal responses suggest that there was no evidence of floor or ceiling effects in TFG. Participant feedback also indicated that the TFG is both an engaging and challenging test of ToM. Whilst they reflected that social interaction is more complex in everyday life, TFG helped to identify and prompt a discussion around these difficulties. Ideas for how TFG could be developed into an intervention to support adults with HF ASD were also discussed. The findings of the study were discussed in relation to previous research and ideas for future directions. The study’s methodological and theoretical limitations were also explored. For example, the impact of the small participant size on the conclusions that can be draw from of the study. Also, the contextual challenges involved in the validation of a new measure of ToM.

description: This paper examines the cause of increasing milk powder stocks, analyze the effects of current dairy policy, and suggests the dairy policy to stabilize the milk supply and demand in Korea. One cause of unbalanced milk supply and demand is non-flexible farmgate pricing system not depending on the utilization situations. Also, consumption of fluid milk have stagnated since last decade. Korea Dairy Committee have overextended the milk collecting to one system under the Committee. For alleviating this problem, government have taken actions of slaughtering milking cows, differentiating the pricing system of oversupplied milk, and terminating the dairy farm enterprises. These policies have effects in the short-run, however, this analysis showed that the essential problem of current situation could not be solved in the long-run. As a way of resolving the current oversupply of raw milk, it would be considered that the improvement of raw milk pricing system.

description: Climate change is one of the greatest contemporary issues facing communities in the Philippines–a country already experiencing the impacts of extreme changes in weather. Planning is uniquely able to provide comprehensive, community-driven responses to this issue. In this project, students executed participatory planning processes around climate change to increase the adaptive capacities of the Municipality of Guiguinto, engaging municipal staff and community leaders in the process. The resulting report contains key recommendations for the municipality that are locally specific, and community-based, with an emphasis on urban development and the existing 7K program. The Municipality of Guiguinto is now actively using the report to do further planning and community engagement, and to prepare their nationally-mandated Local Climate Change Adaptation Plans.

description: We show that slightly polydisperse disordered 2D foams can be used as a self-assembled template for isotropic photonic band gap (PBG) materials for transverse electric (TE) polarization. Calculations based on in-house experimental and simulated foam structures demonstrate that, at sufficient refractive index contrast, a dry foam organization with threefold nodes and long slender Plateau borders is especially advantageous to open a large PBG. A transition from dry to wet foam structure rapidly closes the PBG mainly by formation of bigger fourfold nodes, filling the PBG with defect modes. By tuning the foam area fraction, we find an optimal quantity of dielectric material, which maximizes the PBG in experimental systems. The obtained results have a potential to be extended to 3D foams to produce a next generation of self-assembled disordered PBG materials, enabling fabrication of cheap and scalable photonic devices.

description: In quantum computation, quantum coherence must be maintained during gate operation. However, in physical implementations, various couplings with the environment are unavoidable and can lead to a dephasing of a quantum bit(qubit). The background charge fluctuations are an important dephasing process, especially in a charge qubit system. We examined the dephasing rate of a qubit due to random telegraph noise. Solving stochastic differential equations, we obtained the dephasing rate of a qubit constructed of a coupled-dot system; we applied our results to the charge Josephson qubit system. We examined the dephasing rates due to two types of couplings between the coupled-dot system and the background charge, namely, fluctuation in the tunnel coupling constant and fluctuation in the asymmetric bias. For a strong coupling condition, the dephasing rate was inversely proportional to the time constant of the telegraph noise. When there is fluctuation in the tunnel coupling constant, Gaussian decay occurs in the initial regime. We also examined the rate of dephasing due to many impurity sites. For a weak coupling condition with fluctuation in the asymmetric bias, the obtained dephasing rate coincided with that obtained by the perturbation method using the spectral weight of a boson thermal bath, which is proportional to the inverse of the frequency.

description: The impact of payment for environmental services (PES) on poverty varies. Generally, PES is good for landowners and may negatively affect consumers if food demand is inelastic. Impacts also depend on the correlation between poverty and environmental amenities. If the richer farmers also provide the best environmental services (ES), then the poor farmers may lose. If there is negative correlation between ES and productivity, then the poorer landowners may gain from ES. The distribution of land matters. If smallholders depend on earnings from work on larger farms, then PES may affect them negatively. Program specifications also matter. Working land programs may have better distributional effects then PES for land diversion.

description: Recently, recommender systems have been able to emit substantially improved recommendations by leveraging user-provided reviews. Existing methods typically merge all reviews of a given user or item into a long document, and then process user and item documents in the same manner. In practice, however, these two sets of reviews are notably different: users' reviews reflect a variety of items that they have bought and are hence very heterogeneous in their topics, while an item's reviews pertain only to that single item and are thus topically homogeneous. In this work, we develop a novel neural network model that properly accounts for this important difference by means of asymmetric attentive modules. The user module learns to attend to only those signals that are relevant with respect to the target item, whereas the item module learns to extract the most salient contents with regard to properties of the item. Our multi-hierarchical paradigm accounts for the fact that neither are all reviews equally useful, nor are all sentences within each review equally pertinent. Extensive experimental results on a variety of real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
Direct and Indirect Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter In Selected Supersymmetry Breaking Scenarios

description: Various methods of searching for supersymmetric dark matter are sensitive to WIMPs with different properties. One consequence of this is that the phenomenology of dark matter detection can vary dramatically in different supersymmetric breaking scenarios. In this paper, we consider the sensitivities to supersymmetric dark matter of different detection methods and techniques in a wide variety of supersymmetric breaking scenarios. We discuss the ability of various astrophysical experiments, such as direct experiments, gamma-rays satellites, neutrino telescopes and positron and anti-proton cosmic ray experiments, to test various supersymmetry breaking scenarios. We also discuss what information can be revealed about supersymmetry breaking by combining results from complementary experiments. We place an emphasis on the differences between various experimental techniques.

description: Wheat is central to the government of Egypt's food security policy which is based on increasing self-sufficiency in wheat on the one hand and subsidizing bread for consumers on the other hand. This paper uses a multi-market approach to assess the impact of increased self-sufficiency in wheat and a switch to a cash-transfer subsidy on cropping patterns, food consumption, production, input use, and income. The findings show that raising self-sufficiency in wheat would reduce reliance on imports but would also adversely affect other sectors, in particular livestock. At full self-sufficiency in wheat, berseem (the main animal feed) would nearly vanish, with negative repercussions for livestock production. The simulations also show that a move to a cash transfer subsidy system would improve targeting of the poor and eliminate distortions on the consumption side. Finally, under the current wheat policy an increase in the world price of wheat would intensify the adverse consequences of both self-sufficiency and consumer subsidies at the agricultural sector level and economy wide.

description: Using an isospin- and momentum-dependent transport model, we study the effects due to the momentum dependence of isoscalar nuclear potential as well as that of symmetry potential on two-nucleon correlation functions and light cluster production in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei. It is found that both observables are affected significantly by the momentum dependence of nuclear potential, leading to a reduction of their sensitivity to the stiffness of nuclear symmetry energy. However, the t/$^{3}$He ratio remains a sensitive probe of the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy.

Microscopic Entropy of Non-dilatonic Branes: a 2D approach

description: We investigate non-dilatonic p-branes in the near-extremal, near-horizon regime. A two-dimensional gravity model, obtained from dimensional reduction, gives an effective description of the brane. We show that the AdS_p+2/CFT_p+1 correspondence at finite temperature admits an effective description in terms of a AdS_2/CFT_1 duality endowed with a scalar field, which breaks the conformal symmetry and generates a non-vanishing central charge. The entropy of the CFT_1 is computed using Cardy formula. Fixing in a natural way a free, dimensionless, parameter introduced in the model by a renormalization procedure, we find exact agreement between the CFT_1 entropy and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the brane.

description: We report infrared spectroscopic observations of a large, well-defined sample of main-sequence, single-lined spectroscopic binaries in order to detect the secondaries and derive the mass ratio distribution of short-period binaries. The sample consists of 51 Galactic disk spectroscopic binaries found in the Carney and Latham high-proper-motion survey, with primary masses in the range of 0.6--0.85 msun. Our infrared observations detect the secondaries in 32 systems, two of which have mass ratios, q=M_2/M_1, as low as ~0.20. Together with 11 systems previously identified as double-lined binaries by visible light spectroscopy, we have a complete sample of 62 binaries, out of which 43 are double-lined. The mass ratio distribution is approximately constant over the range q=1.0 to 0.3. The distribution appears to rise at lower q values, but the uncertainties are sufficiently large that we cannot rule out a distribution that remains constant. The mass distribution derived for the secondaries in our sample, and that of the extra-solar planets, apparently represent two distinct populations.
Household income structure and determinants in rural Egypt

description: Egypt is on track to achieve its long-term goal of reducing the poverty rate to 6 percent by 2022. Continued progress towards this goal will require rapid employment growth for which agriculture growth, through its impact on demand for goods and services in the rural non-tradable sector will be of fundamental importance. This paper considers which agricultural policies will be most effective at reducing rural poverty in Egypt. Using household survey data from 1997 the study analyzes household income structure and determinants. Results indicate that agricultural policies that help to raise unskilled labor wages and/or increase demand for unskilled labor as well as those that support small animal/bird raising, in particular poultry, are best suited to help the poor. A longer-term strategy must also focus on enhancing formal sector employment through increased access to education for men and in particular women.
