In the current context of budgetary adjustments on the part of numerous donors, there is an increasing public pressure in favour of the accountability for the use of the resources devoted to official development assistance. That is why it is necessary to measure and evaluate the results of the projects and programmes financed by that assistance. The goal of this article is to offer a first assessment of the results of the Initiative of Aid for Trade for the case of Latin America. To achieve this goal, a double quantitative and qualitative approach is applied, involving the use of the Enabling Trade Index and the case stories of aid for trade projects and programmes.

Abstract The current analysis contributes to the literature on the real exchange rate (RER) effect of development aid by separating out the RER effect of the development aid allocated to the trade sector - referred to as Aid for Trade (AfT) - from the effect of NonAfT flows. The empirical findings show that AfT flows exert a RER depreciation in recipient-economies, while NonAfT flows are associated with a RER appreciation. From a policy perspective, these results show that scaling-up AfT flows could promote countries' competitiveness in the international trade market through a greater extent of RER depreciation.

The Many

The role of electron microscopy and associated techniques is assured in diagnostic pathology. At the present time, most of the progress has been made on tissues examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and correlated with light microscopy (LM) and by cytochemistry using both plastic and paraffin-embedded materials. As mentioned elsewhere in this symposium, this has revolutionized many fields of pathology including diagnostic, anatomic and clinical pathology. It began with the kidney; however, it has now been extended to most other organ systems and to tumor diagnosis in general. The results of the past few years tend to indicate the future directions and needs of this expanding field. Now, in addition to routine EM, pathologists have access to the many newly developed methods and instruments mentioned below which should aid considerably not only in diagnostic pathology but in investigative pathology as well.

Purpose This study examined the current pediatric amplification practice with an emphasis on hearing aid verification using probe microphone measurement (PMM), among audiologists in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Frequency of practice, access to PMM system, practiced protocols, barriers, and perception toward the benefits of PMM were identified through a survey. Method A questionnaire was distributed to and filled in by the audiologists who provided pediatric amplification service in Klang Valley, Malaysia. One hundred eight ( N = 108) audiologists, composed of 90.3% women and 9.7% men (age range: 23–48 years), participated in the survey. Results PMM was not a clinical routine practiced by a majority of the audiologists, despite its recognition as the best clinical practice that should be incorporated into protocols for fitting hearing aids in children. Variations in practice existed warranting further steps to improve the current practice for children with hearing impairment. The lack of access to PMM equipment was 1 major barrier for the audiologists to practice real-ear verification. Practitioners' characteristics such as time constraints, low confidence, and knowledge levels were also identified as barriers that impede the uptake of the evidence-based practice. Conclusions The implementation of PMM in clinical practice remains a challenge to the audiology profession. A knowledge-transfer approach that takes into consideration the barriers and involves effective collaboration or engagement between the knowledge providers and potential stakeholders is required to promote the clinical application of evidence-based best practice.
