Distributional and nutritional impact of devaluation in Rwanda

Article Abstract:

The effect of devaluation on household welfare, demand and nutritional intake was investigated using data from the National Household Budget and Consumption Survey in Rwanda. The survey revealed that devaluation decreased the income of the poor by 4% or less. Its impact on caloric intake was even less than 4%. Its effect on urban and high-income households was proportionately two to three times larger. This suggested that the urban poor is more affected by devaluation than the rural poor. These results may be caused by households' insulation from price changes by home production.

A knee in the back and a little balsam of Peru

Article Abstract:

Mentoring may enable old doctors to pass on their knowledge and confidence to young doctors. Although technology has advanced the field of medicine, medicine is still an art that requires a personal touch. Mentoring is one way of providing this personal touch. More experienced doctors can encourage young doctors to hone their skills and to develop good judgment. Mentors can also teach the importance of listening to patients and how to listen. All doctors should be willing to become mentors to anyone in their lives, professional or personal.

Defining high risk categories

Article Abstract:

The most significant risk factor for breast cancer is age, with the disease being much more common among older women than younger women. Genetic disposition to breast cancer is also a key risk factor, being responsible for around 10% of cases. There is evidence that hormonal factors are involved too, with oestrogen appearing to play a very important role. Further research connects breast cancer with short menstrual cycles, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and abortion.
