Our study captures the nar- Street vendors ratives of street vendors (seen as the ‘invisible’ entrepreneurs), working in markets across Delhi (India) and Phnom Supply chain management Penh (Cambodia) and analyzes the inventory logistics of products sold by them, thereby, reflecting the complex nature of an inter-twined, existential relationship between what's classified as ‘informal’ and ‘formal’ in urban economies. The mutual interdependence seen in the governing dynamics of economic exchange (for example, in selling commodities and services across identified markets in Phnom Penh and Delhi), argues for a need to inclusively study urbaneco- systems while addressing the needs of street vendors. This paper does so by incorporating ethnographic methods with a specific reference to street vending (as a commercial urban activity). Further, we emphasize on an epistemic needto cross-fertilize thought(s) and method(s) across social science disciplines to produce more of such urban narratives, exploring the inter-twined relationship between the ‘informal’ and ‘formal’ aspects of urban ecosystems.

  • Turkish President Turgut Özal's Impact on Nursultan
    TURKISH PRESIDENT TURGUT ÖZAL’S IMPACT ON NURSULTAN NAZARBAYEV’S PERCEPTION OF TURKEY* Nursultan Nazarbayev'ın Türkiye Algısına Tugut Özal'ın Etkisi Din Muhammed AMETBEK** Abstract Nursultan Nazarbayev as the founding President of Kazakhstan played a determinant role in the formation of Kazakh foreign policy. In this respect, the article examines Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey as a decision maker in foreign policy are based on observation rather than realities. Nazarbayev is aware of the fact that the national identity of Kazakhstan is divided between two competing poles; Russian and Kazakh, in a broader sense; Slavic and Turkic. From this perspective, Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey is significant as it is not only related to foreign policy but at the same time the national identity of Kazakhstan. The study argues that the President of Republic of Turkey of early 1990s Turgut Özal with his active diplomacy towards Kazakhstan contributed to the positive image of Turkey. The research concludes that close and reliable relations between Nazarbayev and Özal became the basis of a strategic part- nership between Kazakhstan and Turkey. Keywords: Turgut Özal, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Perception, National Identity Özet Kazakistan’ın kurucu Cumhurbaşkanı Nursultan Nazarbayev’in, Kazak dış politi- kasının oluşumunda belirleyici rol üstlendiği kesindir. Bu bağlamda, makale, Nazarba- yev’in Türkiye algısını ele almaktadır. Çünkü inşacı ekolün iddiasına dış politika kararları gerçeklere değil algı üzerine alınmaktadır. Nazarbayev Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliğinin Rus ve Kazak olarak, daha geniş kapsamda Slav ve Türk olarak yarışan iki kutba ayrıldığının farkındadır. Buradan hareketle, Nazarbayev’in Türkiye algısı, yal- nızca dış politika açısından değil aynı zamanda Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliği açısından da önemlidir.

  • 1 “Land Sharing in Phnom Penh and Bangkok: Lessons from Four
    “Land Sharing in Phnom Penh and Bangkok: Lessons from Four Decades of Innovative Slum Redevelopment Projects in Two Southeast Asian „Boom Towns‟” Author: Paul E. Rabé 1 Affiliation: University of Southern California, School of Policy, Planning and Development, Abstract: In 2003 Cambodian authorities launched four pilot slum upgrading projects in the capital city of Phnom Penh using the technique of “land sharing.” The projects aimed to attract private development on lands occupied by slum dwellers, and to move the slum dwellers into new housing on site using cross-subsidies from commercial development. This paper identifies the inadequate institutional support structure for land sharing in Phnom Penh as the main reason why these projects had only very limited success as slum upgrading instruments. It contrasts this with the more successful land sharing experience in Bangkok during the 1970s and 1980s. *Paul Rabé’s paper was awarded an Honorable Mention in the “Places We Live” research paper competition held by the International Housing Coalition (IHC), USAID, The World Bank, Cities Alliance, and the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Comparative Urban Studies Program (CUSP). This paper was presented at the “Places We Live: Slums and Urban Poverty in the Developing World” policy workshop in Washington, DC on April 30, 2010. 1 1. Announcing Four Land Sharing Pilot Projects In 2003 public authorities in Cambodia introduced an innovative model of urban redevelopment and slum upgrading through the technique of “land sharing.” The Council of Ministers identified four pilot projects in the center of the capital city of Phnom Penh—with a combined population estimated at 17,348—where slum residents would be re-housed on site in new housing which they would obtain for free, as part of the government’s “social land concession principles.”2 The new housing was to be financed entirely by private developers in the form of cross-subsidies from commercial development on another portion of the same site.

  • Global Epidemiology of Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI)
    Current Hepatology Reports (2019) 18:274–279 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11901-019-00475-z DRUG-INDUCED LIVER INJURY (P HAYASHI, SECTION EDITOR) Global Epidemiology of Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) Einar S. Björnsson1,2,3 Published online: 16 July 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose of Review Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is not an uncommon liver disease in many parts of the world. DILI is one of the most common causes of acute liver failure in most countries. The current review summarizes the global epidemiology of DILI. Recent Findings The number need to harm in terms of DILI due to amoxicillin-clavulanate was approximately 1 out 2300, but was higher for azathioprine (1 out of 133) and infliximab (1 out of 148). A retrospective Chinese study showed the highest rate of DILI in hospitalized patients with an incidence of approximately 24 patients per 100,000 annually with a more favorable prognosis in the DILI cohort than previously reported from Europe, the USA, and Asia. Summary Although large DILI registries from Europe and the USA have collected much data, more prospective studies with continual enrollment are needed particularly as new therapies such as immune modulatory and oncological medications with longer half-lives and latencies come to market. Keywords DILI . Hepatotoxicity . Epidemiology . Incidence . Prognosis . Global Introduction performed. Two in Europe and one recently in the USA are notable [13, 14, 15•]. Hepatotoxicity, drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and adverse With growing registry and cohort data, some recurring liver reactions are terms used interchangeably.
