  • Mongolia MODERATE ADVANCEMENT
    Mongolia MODERATE ADVANCEMENT In 2013, Mongolia made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. In July, the Mongolia National Statistics Office officially released the Mongolia National Child Labor Survey Report. The Government established an Anti-Trafficking Sub-Council within the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), and Mongolia’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) conducted trainings on trafficking and forced labor for lawyers, judges, and law enforcement officers. The Government also established a coordinating council and allocated a budget for the National Plan of Action for Ending the Worst Forms of Child Labor. However, children in Mongolia continue to engage in child labor in animal husbandry and herding. Enforcement mechanisms for reducing child labor are minimal, and gaps persist in the legal framework and operating procedures for prosecuting criminal offenders, specifically regarding commercial sexual exploitation. I. PREVALENCE AND SECTORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD LABOR Children in Mongolia are engaged in child labor in animal husbandry and herding.(1-6) In July 2013, the Mongolia National Statistics Office officially released the Mongolia National Child Labor Survey Report.(4) The report indicates that 11 percent of working children were engaged in hazardous work with boys comprising 8 out of 10 children.

  • CHAPTER 8 Urban Gangs and Violence
    CHAPTER 8 UrbanUrban GangsGangs andand ViolenceViolence Introduction distribute Urban gang problems are examined in this chapter. The main focusor here is on serious violent gangs in large cities. New research is presented that groups cities according to their experiences with serious gang violence over a 14-year period. Case studies of five cities’ gang histories are reviewed to illustrate nation- wide differences in serious violent gang problems. Both the correlates (features of gangs themselves) and the context (the local urban and regional environment) of serious gang violence are then examined. The chapter begins with research on the intensity ofpost, gang activity in urban areas. Serious violent gangs have been characterized by a diverse set of criteria (see Serious Violent Gangs in the Further Reading section at the end of this chapter). Most notably, they are typically found in large cities and distinguished by a number of structural features, the first of which is the degree of organiza- tion (e.g., they have rules, meetings, and leadership roles, a large membership—at least 15 gangs and more than 200 members but with wide variations—and a multiple-year history). Second, these gangs are involved in violent crimes thatcopy, physically harm victims, including homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, and nonlethal firearm injuries. These violent crimes frequently occur out of doors, on the streets, and in very small set spaces in neighborhoods with high violence rates. Moreover, such violent crimes likely involve multiplenot victims and suspects and have a contagious feature. Third, drug traffick- ing and firearm offenses are also very common. Fourth, these gangs tend to have both female and male members.

Platelet accumulation was measured in the pres- Accepted 29 October 2013 ence of COX-1 inhibitor (aspirin, ASA), P2Y1 inhibitor (MRS 2179), P2Y12 inhibitor (2MeSAMP) or combined P2Y1 Available online 6 November 2013 and P2Y12 inhibitors. Results: High dose ASA (500 μM), 2MeSAMP (100 μM), MRS 2179 (10 μM), or combined 2MeSAMP and MRS 2179 Keywords: decreased total platelet accumulation by 27.5%, 75.6%, 77.7%, and 87.9% (p b 0.01), respectively. ASA reduced sec- platelet cyclooxygenase ondary aggregation rate between 150 and 300 s without effect on primary deposition rate on collagen from 60 to ADP 150 s. In contrast, 2MeSAMP and MRS 2179 acted earlier and reduced primary deposition to collagen between 60 thromboxane and 105 s and secondary aggregation between 105 and 300 s. RCOX and RP2Y (defined as a ratio of secondary aggre- hemodynamic gation rate to primary deposition rate) demonstrated 9 of 10 subjects had RCOX b 1orRP2Y b 1followingASAor 2MeSAMP addition, while 6 of 10 subjects had RP2Y b 1 following MRS 2179 addition.
