BACKGROUND Few studies look at policy making in the health sector in the aftermath of a conflict or crisis and even fewer specifically focus on Human Resources for Health, which is a critical domain for health sector performance. The main objective of the article is to shed light on the patterns and drivers of post-conflict policy-making. In particular, we explore whether the post -conflict per...

In the article, author analyzes determinants that influence criminological indicators of domestic violence, and which were actualized after beginning armed conflict. Yes, fact victims are limited in movement contributes to state violence; connection with forced change place residence, have no one turn for help; material physical dependence on offender became especially acute during conflict; wh...

Current literature provides strong support for the relationship between perceived family conflict (i.e., disagreements, expressed anger, and/or aggression) and adolescent maladjustment (i.e., internalizing, externalizing, and/or physiological symptoms). Moreover, research indicates that successful conflict resolution (i.e., “behaviors that regulate, reduce, or terminate conflicts,” Davies & Cum...

introduction: apoptosis is an important mechanism in both physiological and pathological conditions. the bcl2 family of proteins plays a critical role in regulation of apoptotic cell death. up and down regulation of bcl2-like 12 (bcl2l12), a new member of the bcl2 family, has been reported in several malignancies. however, the expression level of bcl2l12 rarely has been studied in leukemia. thi...

This paper investigates how rural farm households adapt to the risk of disease. In the context of malaria, adaptation brings to mind mosquito nets, sprays and coils. However, adaptation may be more subtle. For instance, households living in malaria-endemic regions may alter their crop choice to reduce their exposure to disease and the associated likelihood of crop failure. Thus the risk of mala...

This paper investigates how the exposure to violent conflicts in utero and in early and late childhood affect human capital formation. I focus on a wide range of child development outcomes, including novel cognitive and non-cognitive indicators. Using monthly and municipality-level variation in the timing and severity of massacres in Colombia from 1999 to 2007, I show that children exposed to t...

To ensure optimal task performance, the human brain detects and resolves conflict in information processing via a cognitive control system. However, it is not known whether conflict resolution relies on a single central resource of cognitive control, or on a collection of independent control mechanisms that deal with different types of conflict. In order to address this question, we assessed be...

D-S evidence theory is usually used for the fusion of multi-source information. But the fusion result is always against with general knowledge for the heavy conflict of evidence. Research on combination of conflict evidence at home and abroad is summarized and analyzed in detail. On the base of this, the conclusion that modified evidence combination method of conflict evidence is more useful ca...
