Climate change impacts on agriculture and vulnerability as expected poverty of Kampong Speu province, Cambodia
As a developing country that is heavily dependent on agriculture, Cambodia has
been severely affected by natural hazards. Since the 1990s, there has been an increase in
the frequency and severity of flooding and drought induced or exacerbated by climate
change. Literature has demonstrated that Cambodia is very vulnerable to the adverse impacts
of climate change. Vulnerability, as posited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), is a function of the character, magnitude and rate of climate change
and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity and its adaptive capacity. This
paper measures the vulnerability as expected poverty (VEP), introduced by Shubham
Chaudhuri, in a province in Cambodia, Kampong Speu (KPS), using household survey data.
The results show that among all of the exposures to natural hazards in Cambodia,
drought poses the highest risk for rain-fed agriculture dependent households. The VEP
shows that more than 60% of households in the KPS province are vulnerable to climate
change with an income threshold of US $1 per day. Some policy recommendations resulting
from this study include building irrigation systems to mitigate the impacts of droughts,
ensuring secondary income generation opportunities for poor households so that households
do not depend exclusively on agriculture, and increasing the education level of villagers

Gamma Irradiation Effects on Cultured Cells: Investigated by the MTT Method
Effects of gamma-irradiation, given in the range of 5 to 30 Gy on Caski cells (Epitheloid carcinoma from the cervix) were investigated by the MIT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method. Results were compared with data assessed simultaneously from cell number counts. The sizes of cells irradiated with 10 to 30 Gy were larger than those of unirradiated ones, and each irradiated cell reduced a larger amount of MT[ than did each unirradiated cell. Irradiation in the above range, therefore causes Caski cells to lose their ability to divide, but the effect on the mitochondria was very slight. Application of the MIT method to the irradiated cells should be done with care. Because, in the irradiated cells depending on the irradiation dose, the MTT activity does not correlate to the cell number
