The Meeting of the Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka (BBINS) Malaria Drug Resistance Monitoring Network In the Asia-Pacific region, the monitoring of the efficacy of antimalarial drugs including artemisinins and artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) has become a routine activity of the national malaria programs using a standardized WHO therapeutic efficacy study (TES) protocol. It aims to identify early signs of resistance of recommended treatment regimens to drive evidence-based review and update of a country's national drug policy. The 4th Meeting of the BBINS Malaria Drug Resistance Monitoring Network (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka) convened in New Delhi, India on 15–16 October 2019. The discussions highlighted the results of therapeutic efficacy studies including updates on molecular markers for drug resistance, showing that the 1st-line artemisinin-based combinations therapies (ACT) in all countries are currently effective against both P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria; countries to further strengthen The Meeting of the Bangladesh, Bhutan, malaria microscopy QA; and adopt iDES for monitoring of malaria drug efficacy in areas with low malaria cases as part of the programme's elimination surveillance activities. India, Nepal, Sri Lanka (BBINS) Also discussed were workplans for continuing studies over the next two years.

  • National Development and Economic Transition Under International Governance: the Case of East Timor
    Revised August 22 2000 National development and economic transition under international governance: the case of East Timor Jorge Braga de Macedo Institute of Tropical Research and Nova University at Lisbon José Braz TEcFinance Ltd, Lisbon Rui Sousa Monteiro Nova University at Lisbon Introduction East Timor evolved as a nation over several centuries, with a strong spiritual identity making up for colonial neglect. The occupation by neighboring Indonesia also contributed to solidify the national identity of East Timor. In their intervention over the past year, international agencies have been slow in recognizing that this is an asset for the democratic governance of the new state that is unique in post-conflict situations. Ignoring this initial condition of national development can have adverse consequences for the choice of an economic transition path. In the current international governance setup, military intervention may already have been excessive relative to the empowerment of the CNRT (National Council for Timorese Resistance). The consequence was a waste of time and financial resources. The fact that East Timor already existed as a nation obviates the need for the manifestations of economic nationalism usually present in recently constituted nation- states. In their strategy for national development, democratically elected authorities can avoid the temptation to create an autonomous currency, to nationalize significant economic sectors or to implement other protectionist measures. Such a national development strategy has direct implications on fiscal policy. Without a need to finance heavy government intervention in economic life, tax design can be guided by principles of simplicity and have relatively low rates. Rather than relying on a complex progressive personal and corporate tax collection system, the royalties from oil and gas exploration can then perform the distributive functions.

    IASBABA.COM 2018 IASBABA [IASBABA’S 60 DAYS PLAN-COMPILATION (GEOGRAPHY)] Born with the vision of “Enabling a person located at the most remote destination a chance at cracking AIR 1 in IAS”. IASbaba’s 60 Days Plan – (Geography Compilation) 2018 Q.1) Consider the following. 1. Himalayas 2. Peninsular Plateau 3. North Indian Plains Arrange the following in chronological order of their formations. a) 1-3-2 b) 2-1-3 c) 2-3-1 d) 3-2-1 Q.1) Solution (b) The oldest landmass, (the Peninsula part), was a part of the Gondwana land. The Gondwana land included India, Australia, South Africa, South America and Antarctica as one single land mass. The northward drift of Peninsular India resulted in the collision of the plate with the much larger Eurasian Plate. Due to this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the geosyncline known as the Tethys were folded to form the mountain system of western Asia and Himalayas. The Himalayan uplift out of the Tethys Sea and subsidence of the northern flank of the peninsular plateau resulted in the formation of a large basin. In due course of time this depression, gradually got filled with deposition of sediments by the rivers flowing from the mountains in the north and the peninsular plateau in the south. A flat land of extensive alluvial deposits led to the formation of the northern plains of India. Do you know? Geologically, the Peninsular Plateau constitutes one of the ancient landmasses on the earth’s surface. It was supposed to be one of the most stable land blocks.

  • Cultivating Plantations and Subjects in East Timor: a Genealogy
    bki Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 169 (2013) 326-361 brill.com/bki Cultivating Plantations and Subjects in East Timor: A Genealogy Christopher J. Shepherd and Andrew McWilliam1 Australian National University [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract This article traces the emergence and institutionalization of plantation systems and cash crops in East Timor over two centuries. It examines the continuities, ruptures and shifting politics across successive plantation styles and political regimes, from Portuguese colonial- ism through Indonesian occupation to post-colonial independence. In following plantation agriculture from its origins to the present, the article explores how plantation subjects have been formed successively through racial discourse, repressive discipline, technical authority and neoliberal market policies. We argue that plantation politics have been instrumental in reproducing the class distinctions that remain evident in East Timor today. Keywords East Timor, plantations, history, governmentality we should try to grasp subjection in its material instance as a constitution of subjects. (Foucault 1980: 97) Introduction In 2008, civil society organizations in East Timor got wind of secret deal- ings between the Timorese government and an Indonesian company con- cerning plans to establish a number of large sugar-cane plantations on East Timor’s south coast. A controversy between civil society and government quickly erupted. Over the ensuing months, arguments around employment 1 For the first-named
