Full textThis PhD dissertation integrates geoarchaeological and Earth Observation data in a multiscale and multitemporal perspective to contextualise and better understand the archaeological record of drylands in relation with the main hydrological, geomorphological and socio-ecological dynamics that have shaped the landscape to the present day. The case study of North Gujarat offers ideal settings for the study of long-term landscape dynamics. Being one of the driest regions in India, Gujarat is strongly sensitive to changes in the Indian Summer Monsoon precipitation patterns. The populations that inhabited the region through the Holocene (i.e. hunter-gatherers, agro-pastoral groups and urban groups related to the Indus Valley Civilisation) have left an archaeological record exposed on the surface of fossilised sand dunes. These evidences are collected during field explorations for further typological analyses. However, most of these studies do not evaluate the actors and factors involved in the formation and modification of both the landscape as well as the mixed archaeological palimpsest that often characterises open-air archaeology. This study includes multi-scale observations of multiespectral and radar SAR imagery, historical topographic maps and CORONA photographs. The distribution and visibility of the archaeological record is discussed in the light of regional physiographical traits, monsoonal water dynamics and the impact of present day anthropic activities and land use change. Finally, this research scales down the previous observations with a methodological approach aimed at refining survey methods for the classification of archaeological surface palimpsests by means of the spatial analysis and classification of physico-chemical proxies from surface scatters.
Sperling, Josh B. "Exploring the nexus of infrastructures, environment, and health in Indian cities| Integrating multiple infrastructures and social factors with health risks." Thesis, University of Colorado at Denver, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3621855.
Full textThe overarching goal of this thesis is to explore and assess infrastructure-environment-health interactions in Indian cities, addressing social factors such as wealth and literacy, as well as the provision of multiple infrastructures.
Five main studies are conducted. First, exploration of Delhi all-cause mortality data and survey of local experts on associations between infrastructures, environment, and health outcomes. Key findings include: a) that 50% of deaths in Delhi are reported with cause not classified (demonstrating the need for bottom-up study to supplement hospital data) and b) that ~19% of classified deaths by cause in Delhi, India could be related to infrastructure or infrastructure-related environmental factors.
Second, review of epidemiology studies relating health outcomes to infrastructure and pollution exposure in Indian and Asian cities is conducted to help identify initial evidence and gaps for infrastructure-related health effects and quantification of differential risk based on social factors (e.g. low socio-economic status (SES)).
Third, top-down analyses using national survey of under age-five mortality rates (U5MR) by multiple infrastructure conditions are studied while addressing confounding social factors. A key finding is that the relative risk for under-five mortality rates are 860% higher in Urban India for those lacking multiple basic infrastructure provisions relative to improved conditions for low SES condition and limited literacy households. These analyses demonstrates limited literacy household sensitivity and importance of considering multiple infrastructures together over single infrastructure improvements.
Fourth, bottom-up comparative community study helps characterize infrastructure, environment, extreme weather conditions and local sustainability priorities. A key finding was that households deprived of infrastructure provisions would prioritize that first over pollution or extreme weather conditions. In addition, both low SES communities studied were different in their coverage of all infrastructures except cooking fuels. In the high SES area, infrastructure conditions were ranked as a highest priority (e.g. drainage) with pollution and climate-related extreme weather events still higher priorities than low SES areas, which selected water supply, parks and open space, and drainage as highest priorities. Multiple dimensions of access to healthcare conditions in the same neighborhoods were explored next with findings indicating the two low SES areas to have similar travel costs to reach care and different abilities to pay for care. The high SES area also had higher accessibility to care yet with quality of care less acceptable relative to low SES areas that had issues with wait times, affordability, and access- suggesting future study should address such factors and effects on health outcomes.
Finally, data availability, needs, and challenges are explored for computing health benefits of multiple infrastructure interventions, while also identifying preliminary intervention scenarios and who may benefit more or less by age, gender, and SES.
These efforts offer a preliminary approach to helping prioritize future decision-making in Asian cities by demonstrating initial methods that can be useful for modeling risks and interactions between infrastructure provisions, environment, and health.

Full textEsta dissertação pretende demostrar o impacto da demografia no desenvolvimento de um país, tendo como base o continente asiático e as suas regiões, nomeadamente, a Ásia Meridional, Oriental e o Sudeste Asiático entre 1975 e 2010. Os países mais populosos do mundo - China e Índia - serão analisados de forma breve, enquanto a Indonésia terá um maior destaque devido à história que a liga a Timor-Leste, o país que será estudado com maior enfoque. Nesta tese serão apresentadas as diversas teorias do pensamento sobre o impacto da demografia no desenvolvimento de um país. Como exemplos será efectuada uma análise da China, Índia, Indonésia e Timor-Leste. O estudo feito para cada um destes países será baseado em vários indicadores populacionais, de saúde materna e políticas de planeamento familiar. Timor-Leste será alvo de maior enfoque, pretendendo-se enunciar as suas singularidades, apresentar razões que expliquem a sua conduta atípica no continente asiático e recomendar possíveis caminhos para o desenvolvimento deste país.
This thesis intends to demonstrate the demographic impact on a country’s development, based on the Asian continent and its regions, namely, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia and South-Eastern Asia, between the years 1975 and 2010. The most populous countries in the world – China and India – will be briefly analyzed while Indonesia will have a major prominence due to his linked history with Timor-Leste, the country that will be the main focus of the study. On this thesis, it will be presented the different theories about the impact of the demography on a country’s development. The examples given will be several countries: China, India, Indonesia and Timor-Leste. The research for each of these countries will be based on demographic indicators, maternal care and family planning programmes. Timor-Leste will be the main focus of the study as it’s intended to prove its singularities, to present the reasons that explain its atypical behaviour on the Asian continent and also to recommend possible pathways for this country’s development.

Full textThis thesis is written with focuses on the possibility of monetary union in South Asia (SAARC) countries. The study comprehensively analyzes the idea of Monetary Union in South Asian region with three perspectives. First we analyze the geographical characteristics of the region and compare it with the existing and potential monetary unions and through historical it is realized that the region during its most prosperous era share common currency. Second we apply the hierarchical and fuzzy cluster analysis to find out similar group within region. Finally we run the gravity model to evaluate the welfare effects of regional trade agreements specially the newly signed SAFTA in South Asia. The major outcomes of these studies are; (i). Geographically SAARC is reasonably comparable with European Union and other potential monetary union. (ii). History shows that the region was most thriving region under various dynasties having proper monetary system with single currency in 95% of the region. During these empires the share of world trade is very high as compared to present share of just 2% of the world trade. (iii). Cluster analysis show two or three similar groups in the region. Therefore, the start of monetary union with small group is a good idea. (iv). Similarly, the gravity model regression reflects that SAFTA has a little impact in creating intra-regional trade; however this is because SAFTA is in her infancy. Although we are in agreement with the endogeneity of optimal currency area and believe by creating monetary union will boost intra-region trade as well as economic development of the region

Full textThis study compares four natural gas pipeline cooperation projects in South America and Southeast Asia. It identifies the role of leadership by highlighting issues that matter to actors and factors that condition strategies to form regional gas cooperation projects. The study's key methodological objective is to develop a leadership analytical framework by synthesizing regime and leadership theories. It then constructs analytical narratives of the four natural gas pipeline cooperation projects. Toward this end, various primary and secondary sources are exploited, which are complemented by expert interviews and field observation. The comparative analysis shows that actors involved in regional gas cooperation projects are multiple and complex. Their interactions occur under two processes: political and commercial. These processes are further affected by three contexts: political, economic, and technical. At the political level, actors are preoccupied with the strategy to formulate vision and objectives for the cooperation project. Because states are dominant at this stage, consultation with larger stakeholders is often absent. At the commercial level, public and private actors are at the forefront forming partnerships and engaging themselves in intense lobbying for bath political and financial support. Such intense relationship between these actors reveals a particular leadership type called proxy leadership. The overall provision of leadership in both South America and Southeast Asia is driven by three catalysts: power, governance, and culture. While power and culture are more crucial in South American case studies, both regions seem to share rather weak governance in forming regional gas cooperation projects

This region although heterogeneous in terms of size, political ideologies and level of development yet shares similar historical and cultural closeness, poverty and low level of human development. Further, we also examined the likely factors influencing financial integration in the region. Overall, the results show that among the economic and political factors trade, income levels and political stability are the most important factors in influencing South Asian financial cooperation. The results also strongly support the view that countries more open and integrated through trade are more integrated financially.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of international accreditation on quality assurance of higher education in Asia Pacific region-Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The study compared the development of higher education, the mechanisms of quality assurance of higher education, the internationalization of higher education among three countries to understand the impact of international accreditation on quality assurance of higher education in the three countries. The study adopted three research methods including the documentary analysis, the e-mail interview, and personal interview to analyze the impact of the international accreditation and the problem encountered among Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The findings are as follows: 1.The type of higher education in these three countries is universal, and three countries all advocate the evaluation system of quality assurance to make sure of the quality assurance of higher education 2.Internationalization of higher education is regarded as the important goal in three countries. 3.Quality Assurance agencies of these three countries are going international. 4.Three countries all agree on the benefit of international accreditation on higher education, but they encourage higher education institutions to apply for international accreditation within different approaches.
