The Transition to Post-industrial BMI Values among US Children
Marco Sunder, Ariane Breitfelder, John Komlos
American Journal of Human Biology,
2009
Abstract
The trend in the BMI values of US children has not been estimated very convincingly because of the absence of longitudinal data. Our objective is to estimate time series of BMI values by birth cohorts instead of measurement years. We use five regression models to estimate the BMI trends of non-Hispanic US-born black and white children and adolescents ages 2-19 between 1941 and 2004. The increase in BMIZ values during the period considered was 1.3 (95% CI: 1.16; 1.44) among black girls, 0.8 for black boys, 0.7 for white boys, and 0.6 for white girls. This translates into an increase in BMI values of some 5.6, 3.3, 2.4, and 1.5 units, respectively. While the increase in BMI values started among the birth cohorts of the 1940s among black girls, the rate of increase tended to accelerate among all four ethnic/gender groups born in the mid-1950s to early-1960s. Some regional evidence leads to the conjecture that the spread of automobiles and radios affected the BMI values of boys already in the interwar period. We suppose that the changes in lifestyle associated with the labor saving technological developments of the 20th century are associated with the weight gains observed. The increased popularity of television viewing was most prominently associated with the contemporaneous acceleration in BMI gain. Am. J. Hum. Biol., 2009. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

New Growth and Poverty Alleviation Strategies for Africa – Institutional and Local Perspectives. African Development Perspectives Yearbook, Vol. 14

,
2009
Abstract
The Volume XIV analyses the “New Growth and Poverty Alleviation Strategies for Africa“. Institutional issues and perspectives in designing new growth and poverty alleviation strategies are considered in various case studies (Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Botswana and Tanzania). Other studies deal with institutional problems of resource-rich countries after conflict (Sudan) and with the institutions to enhance environmental protection parallel to economic growth and poverty reduction (Niger). Further studies deal with institutions to bridge the gap between formal and informal entrepreneurial sectors in Kenya and Tanzania. Local issues and perspectives for designing new growth and poverty alleviation strategies are considered in case studies on rural-urban development gaps in Tanzania and on microfinance as an instrument for new growth and poverty alleviation strategies (Tanzania and Eritrea). A study on small farmers in Ghana provides information on the role they can play in value chains. Two studies on Nigeria highlight the local and the sub-regional health and poverty alleviation programmes and the relation to growth. Book reviews and book notes on the theme are part of the volume. This volume builds the foundation for a comprehensive strategy of policy reforms in Africa so as to integrate new growth and poverty alleviation strategies. Complementary to Volume XIV is Volume XIII on “New Growth and Poverty Alleviation Strategies for Africa - Interational and Regional Perspectives“. Both volumes are of importance for all those who work in African countries as officials, executives, managers, researchers, and policy-makers, but also for all those who actively support Africa's development concerns at the international, regional, country, local, and project levels. They will experience this Volume XIV and also the complementary Volume XIII as indispensable sources of insight, reference, and inspiration.

Zur Wirtschaftslandschaft in der Region Leipzig-Halle im Jahr 2030

WandelHalle, Stadt als Ansichtssache, Das Textbuch zur Ausstellung,
2006
Abstract
Vor dem Hintergrund der Skizze einer möglichen - gegenüber dem Status quo - günstigeren - zukünftigen wirtschaftlichen Situation in der Region Leipzig-Halle werden Strategien dargestellt, mit welchen diese Situation erreicht werden könnte. Dabei wird zwischen Strategien unterschieden, welche isoliert der Stadt Halle, den Städten Leipzig und Halle gemeinsam und schließlich der Landes- und Bundespolitik empfohlen werden können. Hinsichtlich der Ausrichtung der hallischen Politik wird neben der Sanierung der städtischen Finanzen u. a. die Aufstellung von Masterplänen für die Altstadt und für die Saale empfohlen. Für die Entwicklung der Gesamtregion wäre eine echte Kooperation zwischen Leipzig und Halle in relevanten Feldern der öffentlichen Aufgabenerfüllung von Vorteil; für die öffentlichen Wissenschaftseinrichtungen, die für die Stadtentwicklung von großer Bedeutung sind, könnten auch die Länder Sachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt mehr Kooperationsbereitschaft zeigen.
