Nguyen Vu Trung, deputy director of the Central Tropical Diseases Hospital, said at a conference in Hanoi on Thursday that the resistance rate to carbapenems, the strongest group of antibiotics, has risen to 50 percent, mostly from gram-negative bacteria which have an impenetrable cell wall.

Do Thuy Nga from an Oxford study said Vietnam now ranks second out of 26 countries reporting data of carbapenem-resistant E.coli, after India.

“Local Start-ups Hold the Key to Transforming Africa’s Seed Industry”

September 2, 2015

The seed industry in sub-Saharan Africa is informal in nature, with approximately 80% of farmers saving and replanting seeds from year to year. This gives them security of access. But improved varieties — including high-yielding and hybrid crops — will increase productivity and income.

To get these seeds into the hands of farmers, a better marketing and distribution system is needed. Local small and medium-sized seed enterprises have a comparative advantage in reaching this underserved market due to their size and market reach.

There has been considerable concern over the potential control of Africa’s seed sector by large corporations. While such firms continue to operate in most countries, it notable that Africa’s seed sector is currently dominated by local start-ups.

Biodiversity reduces human, wildlife diseases and crop pests

Sciencedaily – Study confirms ‘dilution effect hypothesis’ that suggests biodiversity loss in nature poses a public health threat by causing and exacerbating disease outbreaks

Date: June 15, 2015

Summary:
With infectious diseases increasing worldwide, the need to understand how and why disease outbreaks occur is becoming increasingly important. Looking for answers, a team of biologists found broad evidence that supports the controversial ‘dilution effect hypothesis,’ which suggests that biodiversity limits outbreaks of disease among humans and wildlife.

ASEAN can survive great-power rivalry in Asia

Leave a comment
4 October 2015

Author: Amitav Acharya, American University

Eastasiaforum – Pundits and policymakers increasingly see changing great-power politics in Asia as a challenge to ASEAN. China’s growing military assertiveness in the South China Sea, the US ‘rebalancing’ strategy, Japan’s moves to reinterpret its constitution, and India’s growing military presence and assertive diplomacy all press upon ASEAN’s choices in the region.

A satellite image, issued by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) think tank, showing an airstrip under construction at Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands. (Photo: AFP)Some argue that ASEAN is both toothless and clueless in responding to these changes. Seen as ‘talk shops’, ASEAN’s regional institutions — the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), ASEAN+3, ASEAN+6 and the East Asian Summit (EAS) — might have been sufficient when great-power relations were less volatile right after the Cold War, but they have outlived their usefulness. ‘ASEAN centrality’, and even its very survival, is being written off.

For the first time since Vietnam opened up to the world in the late 1980s, the country’s trajectory could shape the future geopolitics of Southeast Asia in significant ways. What that trajectory ought to look like has been a topic of intense discussions among Vietnamese leaders in recent months, as Vietnam gears up for the twelfth Communist Party Congress, expected to take place in early 2016.

Paul Kengor is professor of political science at Grove City College. He writes about Margaret Sanger in his latest book, “Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and Marriage.”

On June 26, 2015, four of the Supreme Court’s liberals joined Justice Anthony Kennedy in discovering a new right to same-sex marriage in the U.S. Constitution, one thereby imposed upon all 50 states.

In response, of course, liberals were jubilant. Their leader, the one who promised to fundamentally transform America, responded by literally illuminating the nation’s house in rainbow colors.

Home is where I don’t need my own private room

Leave a comment

A dear friend of mine recently came home for a visit after several years studying and living abroad. He was so happy sharing with me: “Mom has been so kind to make space to give me a private room. This is the first time I have my own room at home actually!”

I too was happy for my friend and congratulated him for having such a privilege :D. I told him: “I have never had my own  room at home, and probably will never have one”.

In this world of highly respected individual privacy, having one’s own room at home sounds nothing fancy, especially in the environment where I am living. But still, it could be something fancy for some of us. Continue reading Home is where I don’t need my own private room →
