- The Waste Bank initiative in Indonesia allows people to save waste instead of money. Households deposit their waste at Waste Banks in exchange for credits that can be used to borrow money or purchase essential goods.
- Waste Banks operate under a cooperative legal structure and work with local communities and businesses. They provide an incentive for people to separate waste and a way to finance basic needs through waste collection.
- The founder of Waste Banks has experience in sustainable finance and previously worked at a development bank and microfinance institution in Germany. They have expanded the Waste Bank model and see it as a way to promote both financial inclusion and environmental sustainability.

The document discusses electron beam tomography (EBT) and its ability to detect coronary artery calcification, which is an active process that can occur early in atherosclerotic plaque development and is regulated similarly to bone mineralization. EBT has been used in over 600 studies to image the heart and detect calcification. One application that has received controversy is its ability to distinguish between vulnerable and stable plaques. The document then shifts to discussing insulin resistance, metabolic dyslipidemia, and a fructose-fed hamster model that develops features of insulin resistance like increased triglycerides and insulin levels. Studies using this model provide evidence of hepatic VLDL overproduction and intestinal lipoprotein overproduction linked to insulin resistance and potential

The document discusses how diet and nutrition can impact mental health. It notes that more research is finding that a nutritious diet benefits not just physical health but also mental health. Experts are increasingly looking at "nutritional psychiatry" and how clinicians can help patients improve their mental health through diet. Specifically, a healthy diet is protective against depression and anxiety while an unhealthy diet increases the risks. The document outlines three ways diet impacts mental health: 1) good nutrition is crucial for brain development, 2) a healthy diet reduces inflammation in the brain, and 3) certain nutrients from food are precursors to neurotransmitters that influence mood.
The document summarizes an international alumni and students symposium on entrepreneurs, firms, and business membership organizations and their role in politics and development.

Fires require fuel, oxygen, and heat. Fuel sources include trees, bushes, wood, furniture, books, and paper. Oxygen is abundant in the air. Fires can start from natural disasters like earthquakes or volcanoes, or from human causes such as negligence, drought, or lightning. Proper fire prevention includes disposing of ashes safely, having smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, creating a fire escape plan, and being careful with any potential fire sources. Fire damage results in loss of lives and property, financial costs, and environmental impacts. It is important to take even small fire risks seriously and know how to use extinguishers to prevent larger disasters.
The article discusses how satellite news gathering (SNG) is evolving with new mobile technologies that take advantage of cellular networks. LiveU offers a portable cellular bonding solution that can transmit HD video over multiple 3G/4G connections. This provides an alternative to satellite transmission and overcomes issues like signal loss during bad weather. While lower quality from mobile networks may be acceptable for news, broadcasters still desire HD quality for archiving. SNG will likely continue for low-latency live sports but mobile solutions offer greater flexibility for other types of news reporting.

The document summarizes the work of the Access to Medicine Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that works to improve access to medicine globally. It discusses the Foundation's Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark, which evaluates pharmaceutical companies' efforts to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in their R&D pipelines, manufacturing processes, and access and stewardship programs. The Benchmark covers 20 large research-based pharmaceutical companies and generic drug manufacturers. It finds that while some leading companies have strong environmental management and stewardship programs, overall pipeline development for novel antibiotics remains limited, and strategies to prevent AMR in manufacturing vary widely among companies.
This document summarizes a webinar presentation on calculating a living income benchmark for smallholder farmers. It discusses the concept of living income versus poverty lines. The methodology involves determining the cost of a basic but decent standard of living for an average household, the number of members in the workforce, and calculating the net and gross income required. It then presents a case study of the tea sector in Malawi, calculating actual versus living incomes for tea smallholders. The study found productivity increases of 40% plus or wage employment could help close the gap between actual and living incomes.
The document discusses the concepts of living wage and living income. A living wage aims to provide a decent standard of living for a household based on the costs of basic needs for an average family. It is calculated for hired workers. Living income also aims to provide a decent standard for a household, but considers multiple income sources and is applied to smallholder farmers.
The document then presents a case study analyzing the gap between actual and living incomes for smallholder tea farmers in Malawi. It finds that farmers with less than 1 hectare would need to increase yields by 40% or have tea estates increase prices by 40% to achieve a living income. Farmers with over 1 hectare could achieve it by specializing completely in tea

Dr. Hans-Peter Winkelmann is a key expert on climate change with the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA+) Climate Support Facility. He gave a webinar discussing how universities can help fight climate change through their core functions of research, teaching, and knowledge transfer. Universities play an important role in generating new climate change knowledge, educating students, and disseminating information to society. They also influence society through their own operations and serve as models for sustainable practices. Mainstreaming climate change into all aspects of university work is important to equip students and society with the skills needed to address this global challenge.

Trade unions and NGOs can influence global economic governance through mobilization like protests or lobbying within existing structures. They have limited participation currently. To have more voice, they must develop expertise on issues, raise awareness, identify ways to engage in international organizations or with governments, and balance mobilization with lobbying and dialogue. Success requires political opportunities, resources, and building cross-border coalitions to strengthen their role in the rule making process.
This document summarizes a webinar on how trade unions and NGOs can influence global economic governance. It discusses that while rules for the international division of labor impact workers, their participation is currently limited. It outlines where rule making takes place from the national to international level and who the participants are. It then examines the different places trade unions can engage in rule making from the national to international level. Finally, it analyzes different strategies and conditions for trade unions to effectively participate in influencing global trade regimes.

This document discusses international labor rights and their relationship to development. It begins by outlining several core labor rights established in international conventions. It then discusses the debate around whether honoring these rights could cause developing countries to lose competitive advantages by increasing costs. While textbooks argue this could harm sales, the document notes efficiency wages and market power are not accounted for. It also discusses how destructive competition occurs between countries with large labor supplies and pressures to adopt export-led growth. Empirical evidence from carpets and theory suggest rights that raise wages above market levels threaten competitiveness, especially between similar economies. Therefore, developing countries may only be able to raise standards through multilateral agreements rather than isolation. The document concludes by mentioning the Asia Floor Wage
