Description: A multi-country study to improve methods of estimating population mortality rates and causes of death in less developed settings. This study will contribute towards a better understanding of childhood and adult mortality in less developed regions of the world that have underregistration of deaths and poorly developed cause of death assignment systems. This study will aim to improve the existing methods to estimate adult mortality from distributions of deaths by age, data on survival of siblings, and data from demographic surveillance sites.

Coconuts are also an important export market for the island. The majority of producers are small to very small landholders, facing pressures to maximise returns while investigating alternative farm income generators. The former is dependent on industry restructuring, the latter on additional resources

Partner(s): (none)
Description: In Indonesia's New Order era under President Suharto, history served a direct propaganda role in state ideology. As yet no replacement state ideology has been formulated by the three subsequent governments. In the absence of a clear direction for the state, Islamic, nationalist and other groups jockey for power. By examining the politics of historical debates in Indonesia since 1998, this project analyses processes by which political legitimacy is being reshaped by the contending groups in Indonesia. The project will advance the understanding both of the public uses of history and of the unstable nature of Indonesian political discourse

Diseases of crops in the central provinces of Vietnam- diagnosis, extension and control

Faculty: Faculty of Agriculture
Funder: ACIAR
Partner(s): Royal Botanic Gardens, Australia; Hanoi Agricultural University, Vietnam; Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry, Vietnam; Quang Nam Provincial Plant Protection Sub-Department, Vietnam; Research Centre for Medicinal Plants, Vietnam; Nghe An Provincial
Description: Diseases of fruits and vegetables affect a number of crops in Vietnam, including coffee, pepper, watermelon, sugar, citrus and durian. All are important crops in the central provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Tri and Hue. Soilborne fungal agents are a main cause of diseases spreading in all three provinces. Earlier ACIAR-supported research with the Hanoi Agricultural University (HAU) built molecular diagnostic capacity. As yet this capacity has not been replicated at the provincial level, limiting survey, diagnostic and control expertise. This research will focus on building capacity in diagnosis of soilborne diseases in the three central provinces, all having important soil fungal problems.

Power and Rule in the Mekong Basin: The Dynamics of 'Hard' and 'Soft' Law in International Watercourse Governance
Country: Vietnam
Field: Law

Faculty: Faculty of Law
Funder: Unknown
Partner(s): (none)

Development of such a governance regime tailored to the field in question has, however, been impeded by the absence of any rigorous, critical mapping of the normative infrastructure of the Mekong River Basin, particularly its transnational 'soft law' dimensions.
