AbstractThis study examines the impact of globalization on the emergence of human trafficking as a transnational security threat. The author discusses the relationship between globalization and violent non-state actors (VNSAs), seeing human trafficking as one of VNSAs threatening the state in the age of globalization. The erosion of state sovereignty and emergence of transnational organized crime are analyzed in an attempt to understand the role of globalization in transforming human trafficking into a transnational challenge.

Protecting public health requires the acquisition, use, and storage of extensive health-related information about individuals. The electronic accumulation and exchange of personal data promises significant public health benefits but also threatens individual privacy; breaches of privacy can lead to individual discrimination in employment, insurance, and government programs. Individuals concerned about privacy invasions may avoid clinical or public health tests, treatments, or research.

The authors suggest that the results of the research outlined here, while on too small a scale to be conclusive, indicate that the special education provision available to visually impaired children in primary schools compensates only in some cases for visual loss. The research (1991-92) was based on video recordings of lesson tasks undertaken by 14 children from three local education authorities in Wales. The article concludes with a list of options used by the teachers of these children to remove or reduce the visually based problems inherent in lesson tasks which may be relevant to the National Curriculum.
