Prioritized and addressed

This ASTRA network paper examines barriers to accessing reproductive health services and supplies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The paper finds that reproductive health is not prioritised in government policies: they lack a commitment to recognise reproductive health supplies as an important component of public health and human rights and there is no adequate legislation and policy in this area. Condoms are widely available, but their cost is often high, especially for young people.

One finds that there is a positive correlation between a country’s level of development and insurance coverage. Developed countries tend to have better developed and well- functioning insurance services sectors both domestically and in terms of insurance exports, as compared to developing countries. This is perhaps most evident when one compares the share of industrialized countries in the world insurance markets, which in 2004 stood at 88.5 per cent as compared with 11.4 per cent for emerging markets, the majority of which are developing countries.

Capital markets are becoming global markets and commercial real estate markets are no exception. Recently, international real estate investors have expressed interest in investing in the Asian emerging markets. Three main reasons can be given for investing in such markets. First the strong economic performance in the region, at least up to 1997 and the huge growth potential of the region in the future.

The social democratic political economies showed higher levels of union density, that is, a greater propor- tion of workers belonging to organised labour unions, social security expenditures, and public employment levels. They had the largest public expenditure in health care from 1960 to 1990, and greatest health care coverage of citizens. These nations instituted full employment strategies, achieved high rates of female employment, and showed the lowest degree of income inequality and poverty rates.

Communication and service delivery go hand in hand. People will not be able to use repro- ductive health services unless they know about them. Once people are motivated to improve their reproductive health, by using family planning methods, for example, they need information and counseling about appropriate methods, correct use, side effects, and the concerns that most people have about adopting new practices. As service providers and communicators reach out more to men and their partners, they must learn more about their clients’ information needs and how to provide counseling for men.

While – as Hake (2004: 193) has stated – there is still a tendency to estab- lish a discursive dichotomy between consumer culture and the elitist thoughts of avant-garde movements, it should be stressed that both share a common rhetoric of innovation and progress. Furthermore, it was precisely this intel- lectual reflection about the status of art vis-à-vis everyday life that called for a tight bond between the two and led to the goal of an Aesthetisierung des Alltags (aestheticisation of everyday life) in the context of the Weimar Republic....

Liability Liability means legal responsibility for the consequences of your acts or omissions. Your accountability to the client may be enforced by civil remedies or criminal penalties. For example, a web developer who has agreed in writing to complete an e-commerce site by a specifi c date will have liability to the client if the project is not completed on time. Limitations on liability and use of ALL CAPS Again, if an agreement includes a limitation on liability, many states require by law that the limitation language be suffi ciently “conspicuous” in the document.

Moreover, even if it were established that options increased risk taking, it is not clear whether such an outcome would be desirable or undesirable from the perspective of the shareholders. Risk-averse managers, who hold disproportionate amounts of their financial and human capital in the companies they manage, are likely to take fewer risks than are optimal. This is an agency problem that is likely magnified in companies where top executives enjoy substantial rents from their positions, and have strong incentives not to take risky actions that may get them removed from their positions.

This entry establishes the cost of the investment to LeBlanc, and will be the carrying value of the investment. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in subsequent reporting periods are irrelevant to the cost of an equity investment. For debt instruments, the issue is a bit more complicated. Debt instruments, by definition, are payable in a given amount of currency.When the debt is stated or denominated in a cur- rency other than the investor’s reporting currency, the equivalent value of the instrument in the reporting currency changes as the exchange rate changes.

After the brushing is performed, the brush is rolled across the slide in an area approximately 2.5 centimeters in diameter (the size of a quarter) to produce a thin evenly layered smear. 8 The slide should be fixed immediately. Immediate fixation of the cellular sample is necessary to prevent air- drying which obscures cellular detail and compromises specimen evaluation. Fixation can be by immersion (preferably) or spray fixation. Immersion fixation consists of placing the smear into 95% alcohol or its equivalent.

This paper studies the maturity composition and the term structure of interest rate spreads of government debt in emerging markets. In the data, when interest rate spreads rise, debt maturity shortens and the spread on short-term bonds is higher than on long-term bonds. To account for this pattern, we build a dynamic model of international borrowing with endogenous default and multiple maturities of debt.

One of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that has made some progress, albeit slow, is MDG 5: Improve maternal health. The two targets for assessing MDG 5 are reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) by three quarters between 1990 and 2015, and achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015. The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General has launched the Global strategy for women’s and children’s health, to mobilize commitments by governments, civil society organizations and development partners to accelerate progress towards MDGs 4 and 5 (1).

Oates (62) investigated causes of death in women up to one year after giving birth in the UK and came to the conclusion that during the period, 1997-1999, suicide was the leading cause of death - responsible for 10% of all deaths. In 86% of the cases it was possible to make a psychiatric diagnosis, indicating that 68% of women who committed suicide were suffering from a serious mental illness (psychosis or severe depressive illness). Drife (63) observed similar results for the period, 2000-2002. Austin et al.

As a prelude to formal training in therapeutic patient education* an introductory course is recommended to motivate interested prospec- tive candidates and inform them about the nature and significance of the subject. Two levels of training in therapeutic patient education* are in use: basic and postbasic. Basic training concerns the practice of therapeutic patient educa- tion*. It is directed mainly at those who treat patients who need to learn how to manage their disease.

Using futures data as a measure of expected Fed policy has a number of advantages over statistical proxies. First, there is no issue of model selection; second, the vintage of the data used to produce the forecast is not an issue; and third, there are no generated- regressor problems. The main disadvantage, of course, is that it limits the analysis to the post-1989 period. As it embodies near-term expectations of the Fed funds rate, the rate from the spot month contract offers a promising way to measure the surprise element of specific Fed actions.
