Technology licensing is an important element of conduct in many industries and has attracted a fair amount of attention in recent years. Considering fixed-fee licensing, the authors show that upstream and downstream markets play important roles for a profitable licensing.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/econ_book/1006/thumbnail.jp
Financial Inclusion, Innovation, and Investments: Biotechnology and Capital Markets Working for the Poor
No full textDeepthi Kolady (with W. Lesser) is a contributing author, Developing County Options Under TRIPS: Choices to Maximize Biotech Transfer.
From the inside flap:
This book is a state-of-the-art discussion of what has succeeded (and failed) in the design and implementation of projects and institutions to assist the poor in developing country economies. In Africa especially, far too many people are still living under conditions of extreme poverty. The goal of the book is twofold: (1) to identify and assess the key processes through which markets affect the livelihoods of the rural poor; and (2) to propose micro- and macro-level policies and innovations to address the problems of inclusion that arise. Featuring contributions from leading scholars and professionals in the field, this volume is timely to all those involved in designing innovative institutions that transfer capital and technologies to low-income countries facing the challenges of poverty alleviation and economic development.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/econ_book/1005/thumbnail.jp
Reconnecting Markets: Innovative Global Practices in Connecting Small-Scale Producers With Dynamic Food Markets
No full textDeepthi Kolady (with S. Krishnamoorthy, and S. Narayanan) is a contributing author, Marketing Cooperatives in a new Retail Context.
The rapid changes taking place in the structure and governance of national and regional agri-food markets in developing countries seriously affect the ability of agriculture, especially small-scale agriculture, to contribute to economic growth and sustainable development. Reconnecting Markets is the second volume of case examples from the Regoverning Markets programme (2005-2008). It focuses on the keys to inclusion of small-scale farmers and rural SMEs into dynamic national and regional markets. The cases document specific arrangements that appear to have played a positive role in supporting greater inclusion, such as public policies and business initiatives, collective action by farmers and support from development agencies.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/econ_book/1004/thumbnail.jp
Evaluation of efficacy of Dhoopana (polyherbal nasal fumigation) versus polyherbal steam inhalation in children with Pratishyaya (rhinitis): A pilot study
No full textBackground: According to Ayurveda, Pratishyaya is characterized by the continuous outward flow of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha from the nostrils, resembling rhinitis, where the nasal mucosa becomes inflamed due to infection, allergy, or injury. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of polyherbal steam inhalation versus nasal fumigation (Dhoopana) in children with rhinitis. Material and methods: Randomized reference controlled open label equivalence pilot study. Patients after initial screening were subjected to randomization and were included in two groups; Group C (Control group) and Group T (Trial group). 10 subjects in each group. Group C (Control group) Polyherbal steam inhalation, Arka prepared from Tulsi, Nirgundi, Vasa and Nilgiri were used for steam inhalation. Group T (Trial group) Dhoopana (Polyherbal nasal fumigation). Dhoomvarti prepared from dry leaves of Tulsi,Nirgundi, Vasa and Nilgiri. Results: From the observations of the clinical trial, it can be concluded that efficacy of Dhoopana (polyherbal fumigation) is better as compare to polyherbal steam inhalation. Statistically significant difference is seen in objective criteria of nasal patency and symptoms of nasal itching and coughing whereas no significant difference is observed in symptoms rhinorrhoea, nasal obstruction, headache and anorexia. Conclusion: Rhinitis in acute stage is one of the frequently troubling conditions in children, though many medicines are available in the market in every system of medicine for its management, but it is difficult to administer them orally in pediatric population. Polyherbal Dhoopana (Nasal Fumigation) is safe and easy to administer, so, can be used in general pediatric practice in patients suffering from acute condition of rhinitis
Ethical Tensions from New Technology
No full textDeepthi Kolady (with S.K. Srivastava) is a contributing author, Ethical Tensions in Regulation of Agriculture Biotechnology and its impact on Policy Outcomes.
From the publisher\u27s website:
The introduction of new technologies can be controversial, especially when they create ethical tensions as well as winners and losers among stakeholders and interest groups. While ethical tensions resulting from the genetic modification of crops and plants and their supportive gene technologies have been apparent for decades, persistent challenges remain. This book explores the contemporary nature, type, extent and implications of ethical tensions resulting from agricultural biotechnology specifically and technology generally. There are four main arenas of ethical tensions: public opinion, policy and regulation, technology as solutions to problems, and older versus new technologies. Contributions focus on one or more of these arenas by identifying the ethical tensions technology creates and articulating emerging fault lines and, where possible, viable solutions. Key features include:Focusing on contemporary challenges created by new and emerging technologies, especially agricultural biotechnology.Identifying a unique perspective by considering the problem of ethical tensions created or enhanced by new technologies.Providing an interdisciplinary perspective by including perspectives from sociologists, economists, philosophers and other social scientists.This book will be of interest to academics in agricultural economics, sociology and philosophy and policymakers concerned with introducing new technology into agriculture.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/econ_book/1002/thumbnail.jp
Handbook on Agriculture, Biotechnology and Development
No full textDeepthi Kolady is a contributing author, International Regimes on Plant Intellectual Property Rights and Plant Genetic Resources.
From the publisher\u27s website:
This book is a compendium of knowledge, experience and insight on agriculture, biotechnology and development. Beginning with an account of GM crop adoptions and attitudes towards them, the book assesses numerous crucial processes, concluding with detailed insights into GM products. Drawing on expert perspectives of leading authors from 57 different institutions in 16 countries, it provides a unique, global overview of agbiotech following 20 years of adoption. Many consider GM crops the most rapid agricultural innovation adopted in the history of agriculture. This book provides insights as to why the adoption has occurred globally at such a rapid rate. This is a rich and varied collection of research, which will appeal to scholars, academics and practitioners worldwide. An invaluable resource, this book will be a first point of reference to anyone with an interest in agbiotech and studies into agriculture, biotechnology and development.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/econ_book/1003/thumbnail.jp
Teaching adults to read better and faster : results from an experiment in Burkina Faso
No full textTwo cognitively oriented methods were tested in Burkina Faso to help illiterates learn to read more efficiently. These were (a) speeded reading of increasingly larger word units and (b) phonological awareness training to help connect letters to speech. Learners were given reading tests and a computerized reaction time test. Although the literacy courses were shortened by the arrival of rains and government delays, the piloted methods helped adults read better than those in the standard"control"classes. Learners enrolled in the experimental classes performed better on the outcome tests than did learners enrolled in control classes. Ninety percent of the possible comparisons between treatment classes and control classes favored classes receiving treatments, and 72 percent of the measurements in favor of treatments were statistically significant. The evidence suggests that phonological awareness training is particularly effective in situations where the training period was short, and that rapid reading was more advantageous in longer training situations. Overall, the results are indicative of the potential that scientifically backed methods have in making adult literacy instruction more effective. However, due to the short duration of the classes (3-4 months) learners apparently did not receive sufficient practice to consolidate skills. Literacy skills may still be prone to being forgotten if readers do not learn to read automatically and if opportunities to read are few.Curriculum&Instruction,Teaching and Learning,Nonformal Education,Primary Education,ICT Policy and Strategies,Nonformal Education,ICT Policy and Strategies,Primary Education,Teaching and Learning,Curriculum&Instruction
