evidence from ASEAN member states

Thesis(Master) --KDI School:Master of Public Policy,2019This study analyses the association between the exchange rate instability and external trade (exports & imports) of AMSs whether negative effect or positive effect or not. We use Generalized Moment Method for statistical test and GARCH models for the measurement of EXV. This study examined to investigate how exchange rate instability on exports and imports of rich and poor countries in Asia. This study applies the annual panel data for the time frame of 2008 to 2017. The result of this study confirms the inverse linkage between the exchange rate instability and the changes in the exports volume and the imports volume, and even in this case, the magnitude is generally small. The estimation shows that the increased in REER will induce exports and imports and TOT increase on exporting and decrease on exporting. The increasing of GDP and inflation will cause a higher volume of exports and imports. The FDI is a positive significant effect on exports as well. The study summarizes that monetary policy can take the actions to diminish the exchange rate uncertainty and fiscal policy as well.CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEWS CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY CHAPTER FOUR: EMPIRICAL RESULTS CHAPTER FIVE: CONCLUSIONmasterpublishedLwin Khaing NYUNT

Factors associated with death and loss to follow-up in children on antiretroviral care in Mingalardon Specialist Hospital, Myanmar, 2006-2016.

Myanmar National AIDS programme's priority is to improve the survival of all people living with HIV by providing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) care. More than 7200 children (aged <15 years) have been enrolled into ART care from 2005 to 2016. A previous study showed that ~11% children on ART care had either died or were lost to follow-up by 60 months. Factors associated with death and lost-to follow-up (adverse outcomes) have not been previously studied.To describe the association between demographic and clinical characteristics at enrollment into ART care with adverse outcomes.Cohort study using records of children enrolled for ART care at Mingalardon Specialist Hospital (main Paediatric ART center in Myanmar) from 2006-2016. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models for analysis.1,159 children were enrolled for ART care and they contributed a total of 1.45 million person-days of follow-up period. 112 (10%) had an adverse outcome during the follow-up time period (55 deaths, 57 lost to follow-up). Enrollment into the ART care through in-patient care department of the hospital, CD4 Cell count <50/mm3, enrollment during changing ART guidelines (different ART eligibility criteria and preferred ART regimen) were independently associated with higher hazards of adverse outcome. Receiving protease inhibitor-based ART regimen at enrollment was independently associated with lower hazards of adverse outcome. Age, sex, residing in urban or rural areas, WHO clinical stage, having TB at the time of enrollment, receiving cotrimoxazole prophylaxis were not statistically associated with adverse outcomes.Our analysis reconfirms good survival of children on ART care (including those with TB). The characteristics associated with adverse outcomes (other than CD4 cell count<50) are surrogates of some unmeasured underlying health system/ patient related factors that needs further exploration to improve the survival of children on ART care
