Further Research. This study is an early step in the application of putting human trafficking in a public health framework. It can be carried out by further researchers and used to determine future methods of implementing and evaluating human trafficking prevention strategies. As awareness of this issue grows across functions and specifically in the public health field, researchers will hopefully keep the priorities for public health research on human trafficking in mind and use previous research to adapt new and effective ways to implement and evaluate strategies.
Further Research. ➢ Based on the experience of this study, a holistic study of regional air pollution could be conducted to cover the Greater Pearl River Delta area (including Hong Kong, Macao and the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone). Findings from this large scale regional study would provide technical supports for promoting and implementing the co-prevention and co-control of regional air pollution. ➢ To develop a comprehensive study programme on anthropogenic VOC emissions in the PRD region, which include VOC sources such as container terminals, land/sea/air transportation, agricultural activities, open burning, waste incineration, and small and medium scale coal-fired boilers, etc., to quantify the different VOC species and conduct measurements on VOC species with high ozone formation potential. ➢ To develop the observation on the composition spectrum of fuel gas from typical air emission sources and update dynamically the emission inventory in the PRD region. ➢ To conduct study on fugitive emission of air pollution sources, such as fugitive emission of PM from non-metallic mineral products and iron and steel industry, and fugitive emissions of VOC from oil refining and petrochemical industry, gas service stations and oil depots, etc., On-site monitoring shall be conducted, whose results could be compared with estimated data produced by commercial models, such as TANK Model, etc.
Further Research. My measurement of compliance is not perfect and some political scientists have measured compliance in other ways. Wettestad (2002 as cited in Xxxxxxxxx and Kostadinova 2005) concluded that the Helsinki Protocol had caused compliance based on the significant policy changes in ratifying countries. So perhaps quantifying climate related policy changes would be a good measure of compliance. Another, perhaps more convincing, method comes from Xxxxxxx, Sandler and Xxxxxxx (1997 as cited in Xxxxxxxxx and Kostadinova 2005) who used a spatial autoregressive model to determine that emission levels were indeed lower than what would have been expected if the Helsinki Protocol were absent. Helm and Sprinz (2000 as cited in Xxxxxxxxx and Kostadinova 2005) also concluded the Helsinki Protocol to be effective. They went about this by reasoning from the counterfactual, as suggested by Xxxxxxx. First, they used experts to estimate levels of sulfur dioxide emission under complete compliance with the treaty and then under conditions of zero compliance with the treaty. They reasoned from the results that there was indeed a significant decrease in emissions due to the Helsinki Protocol. There are a few variables that I would have liked to have tested and could possibly improve my model the future. One such variable would be federalism. Countries with federalism spread the power of government over smaller decentralized units instead of a central authority. According to Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx this should make it more difficult to enact environmental rules because these smaller authorities are more limited in reach and power (Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx 1998). It is also possible that the smaller subregions have special interests that could be contrary to the country as a whole. For example, if one region was rich in coal and generated a lot of carbon emissions it is not difficult to conceive it not wanting to curb the use of this resource. And in a federalist system there might be a lack of adequate power to force that region to comply. Another variable also examined by Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx is how strict the punishments are for not following environmental laws. The US has some of the strictest laws of any of the countries I examined. Environmental violations in the US can result in not just fines but serious prison time. Fines can also be huge, for example Exxon was levied a 100 million dollar fine for the Exxon Xxxxxx spill and agreed in a civil settlement to pay 1.1 billion dollars to restore...

Further Research. Further analysis could also be done with this data to better understand latrine aspects that drive latrine use among men and among women, as drivers of use may vary by gender. Additionally, the level of statistical significance associated with partitioning could be changed to be less conservative. This would result in a much larger tree that may reveal more latrine factors and combinations that are associated with a latrine being in use though large trees become increasingly difficult to interpret. Other opportunities for further research include conducting qualitative or quantitative evaluations on the impact of lights inside of latrines and tiled floors on latrine use. These two improvements were notable in both the multivariate analysis and CIT though there is currently little published research regarding their effects on latrine use.
Further Research. The comparison between male and female students has given quite inconclusive results. The difference in error frequency is small and could be due to the length and volume of the collected material. In a more controlled setting, or with the use of standardised tests, the variables would be fewer and the results more reliable. In a larger and more exhaustive study, the errors made by male and female students might constitute the foundation for a comparison between proficiency level, communicative competence and the teachers' assessment of the student. The differences between grades 7 and 8 are similarly difficult to discern since the texts differ so much in length and distribution. Another interesting and relevant topic for further research is how the learners' attitudes towards EFL learning and teaching affect the acquisition process. Interviews and surveys might be able to show that students who come in contact with English more in their daily lives, e.g. through online games or social media, are more inclined to learn English and therefore are more careful in producing accurate grammar. The socio-economic background of the students could be studied as well in order to find out whether the proficiency in English is affected by the learners' background, their parents occupation or what implications e.g. living in a larger urban area might have. The teachers themselves might also have some influence over how EFL learning is perceived by the students. If the teachers share the same attitudes towards grammar and if those attitudes spread to the students, it could alter the conditions for a learning environment at the school. References
Further Research. Further research continues to develop the ESST account in Estonia. This involves improving the methodology to the potential automatization of certain parts of the ESST account. Cooperation with Statistics Netherlands is set to continue – especially on the topic of automatization and switching to R programming language. Some key points for moving forwards are listed below.
Further Research. None. The following table and graph compares the age class distributions from the Biodiversity Guidebook 1995 125 year return cycles, with the upper (90) and lower (60) fire intervals as calculated/suggested by Xxxxxxx et al., 2002 (pg 117). Xxxxxxx et al. (2002) found very little evidence of a mixed severity fire regime in the East Fraser study area, so the estimated fire cycles provided can be directly compared to those proposed by the Biodiversity Guidebook (1995).
Further Research. None. A further finding was that the amount of area in residual patches was significantly different between ecosystems. The SBPSxc had only 6.3% of the in residual patches, while the SBPSdc had 19.5 % of it area remaining in residual patches. It should be clearly noted here that this is in reference to patches. As will be seen in discussions about fire severity the SBPSxc has higher retention of individual stems. The results regarding residual patch size in this discussion must be considered with reference to the short temporal period of 39 years. No discussion of the location of residual patches within the burn matrix was undertaken by Xxxxxxx et al. Andison (Quick Note #10) indicates that both islands (wholly located within the opening and matrix residuals (existing primarily within the opening but attached to the edge) are evident in boreal fires. Guideline # SBS/SBPS 5 Management Guideline Title: Fire remnants Type: Landscape Research Finding: Island remnants both wholly located within the opening as well as remnants existing primarily within the opening but attached to the edge are evident in boreal fires. Support: Moderately supported. Guideline: Remnant (WTP) design should include remnants that are wholly within the cutblock boundary as well as remnants within the block that are attached to the block boundary.
