Annual report of the Environmental Health Service for the Navajo Nation describes the Navajo Nation and its history. It describes environmental conditions, such as water shortages, poor housing and poor sanitation which contribute to health problems. Also stated are accomplishments and goals for the eight Indian Health Service Units, with statistical reports. Also includes directory with staff photos and position descriptions Born March 13, 1926, Virginia Brown attended the Medical College of Richmond, Virginia and received her diploma in 1948. She spent three years working with the Navajo tribe. In 1967, Virginia was hired as the first research nurse in the Indian Health Service, and was assigned to the new unit in Tucson. This collection pertains to Public Health Nursing among Native American people, with emphasis on the Navajo Tribe. This collection consists of correspondence, a manuscript, a questionnaire and responses, personal reminiscences, articles, essays, government documents and pamphlets, as well as photographs (see Photographic Collection), which depict Reservation life through the eyes of Public Health nurses, Native Americans, and government officials, and includes a wealth of statistical material and government data.

PROBLEM/CONDITION: CDC monitors the incidence of mumps in the United States through the passive reporting of cases to its National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS). REPORTING PERIOD COVERED: 1988-1993. DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM: Weekly reports to the NNDSS from 48 states and the District of Columbia were used to calculate incidence rates for mumps. State immunization requirements were obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. RESULTS: After the licensure of mumps vaccine in the United States in December 1967 and the subsequent introduction of state immunization laws in an increasing number of states, the reported incidence of mumps decreased substantially. The 1,692 cases of mumps reported for 1993 represent the lowest number of cases ever reported to NNDSS and a 99% decrease from the 152,209 cases reported for 1968. During 1988-1993, most cases occurred in children 5-14 years of age (52%) and in persons > or = 15 years of age (36%). Although the incidence decreased in all age groups, the largest decreases (> 50% reduction in incidence rate per 100,000 population) occurred in persons > or = 10 years of age. Overall, the incidence of mumps was lowest in states that had comprehensive school immunization laws requiring mumps vaccination and highest in states that did not have such requirements. INTERPRETATION: Because of the extensive use of mumps vaccine and the increased number of states that had enacted mumps immunization laws, the number of reported mumps cases decreased further since the marked decline that began during the early 1970s. The earlier shift in incidence from children of school ages to older persons that was noted during 1985-1988 continued until 1992, when the proportion of cases occurring in children of school ages increased and exceeded the proportions occurring in other age groups. ACTIONS TAKEN: All health-care providers are encouraged to a) report mumps cases to their local and state health departments for transmission to NNDSS and b) enact school immunization laws requiring mumps vaccination. ; Frederik P.L. van Loon, Sandra J.

During the eighteenth century Europe set the cultural, political and economic conditions for its entry in the industrial era. While the role of international trade has been for a long time considered as a minor factor in the industrial revolution, the focus of economic history has changed somewhat during the last two decades. The emergence of a global perspective in economic history has led prominent scholars to accountfor the important role of international trade in the rise of Europe over other world regions 5 But whereas extra-European trade is comparatively well known and has been the object of recent syntheses,6intra-European trade has largely been neglected. The scarcity of works on foreign trade statistics of preindustrial times is all the more unfortunate as external trade flows arethe single economic data that (some) early modern states have collected with the most care. Indeed, the first attempts at measuring foreign trade regularly can be dated back to the seventeenth century. From 1696 on, the English crown was able to collect a continuous series of customs data and release a yearly evaluation of the English balance of trade. The French royal administration created the Bureau de la balance du commercein 1713. Its task was to produce a yearly document that detailed the French external trade and calculated its general balance. There was a pan European move towards a more extensive and better measurement ofexternal trade throughout the eighteenth century, with various countries gathering the same data through their central administrations.

Significant foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to maritime Southeast Asia (and more recently Vietnam) have been the key factor behind the economic development and in the integration into the global economy of the countries located in that region. Southeast Asia's prospects as a destination for foreign direct investment are bright, and over the last decade, FDI stock per capita in the region has increased five-fold from USD$500 in 2000 to nearly USD$ 2,500 in 2013.1 In this same period, regional real GDP per capita grew only 1.6 times to reach USD$ 2,255 in 2013.2 Using the latest UNCTAD statistics on bilateral foreign direct investment flows into nine Southeast Asian economies, this Perspective will look at what FDI flows tell us about two of the major strategic concerns of Southeast Asian states and of ASEAN: 1. The significance of the relationship for each Southeast Asian state and the region as a whole, between economic development, global economic integration and dependence on (or autonomy from) major extra-regional powers. The growing trade dependence of Southeast Asian economies on China and China's growing influence in Southeast Asia are the current focus of this foundational regional concern. 2. Further strengthening of integration among Southeast Asian economies and through this reducing the development gap between them. This regional economic virtuous circle is seen to be particularly important for supporting ASEAN unity and centrality.

Since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, newspapers have been full of stories about Russia's military brass and political leaders. However, there has been very little attention paid to what life in Russia is like for ordinary citizens. This publication offers a much-needed evidence-based view of human rights under Putin. East View Press is proud to present relevant data gathered by the Moscow-based nonprofit SOVA Center for Information and Analysis, which for over two decades has been reporting on the country's legislation and law enforcement. As local Russian offices of advocacy groups such as Memorial, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have been shuttered one after the other, this book emerges as a critical resource. Its publication has become even more urgent with the recent dissolution of the SOVA Center itself.Compiled for the first time in book form, this collection spotlights SOVA's research on Russia's evolving anti-extremism laws. The statistics here show convincing evidence that, far from safeguarding citizens from hate crimes, this legislation harbors a not-so-hidden agenda: silencing dissent. A must-read for scholars of civil rights, post-Soviet politics, and international relations, this book also resonates with anyone interested in the development of nation-states and the strategies they deploy to retain their authority.

"This book provides a comprehensive overview of the political impact of the COVID-19 emergency in central and eastern Europe and Eurasia. Offering a theoretical framework linking the authoritarian, post-Soviet institutional legacy with patterns of political behavior, support, and governments' policies, the expert contributors argue that domestic political regimes mediate and shape citizens' perceptions of public health crises, and the very regimes' political survival. The authors explore how the pandemic affected regime change, government stability, business groups and civil societies in more than 15 countries of the region from the discovery of the virus to the vaccination rollout. The studies rely on a broad range of empirical evidence from the region - survey, state statistics, ethnography and interviews. Formulating, explaining and empirically testing the causal mechanisms that drive political accountability and support through a cross-country comparison and in-depth case studies of popular and electoral support attempting to highlight any patterns specific to the region, the book contributes to studies of governance and political accountability in low-trust countries with authoritarian legacies and proclivities. Drawing on an inter-disciplinary approach that brings together area studies, history, sociology, and political science it will also be of value to those interested in systematic effect of political regimes on handling public health crises"--
