Abstract Backround: The available literature indicates that there are significant differences in maternal mortality according to maternal origin in high income countries. The aim of this study was to examine the trend in the maternal mortality rate and its most common causes in Spain in recent years and to analyse its relationship with maternal origin.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of all live births as well as those resulting in maternal death in Spain during the period between 2000 and 2018. A descriptive analysis of the maternal mortality rate by cause, region of birth, maternal age, marital status, human development index and continent of maternal origin was performed. The risk of maternal death was calculated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, with adjustment for certain variables included in the descriptive analysis.Results: There was a total of 293 maternal deaths and 8,439,324 live births during the study period. The most common cause of maternal death was hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The average maternal death rate was 3.47 per 100,000 live births. The risk of suffering from this complication was higher for immigrant women from less developed countries; therefore, a decrease of 0.01 in the maternal human development index score significantly increased the risk of this complication by 2.4%.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that there are inequalities in maternal mortality according to maternal origin in Spain. The human development index of the country of maternal origin could be a useful tool when estimating the risk of this complication, taking into account the origin of the pregnant woman.

Enlarging people’s choice and enhancing human capabilities” – the well-known definition propounded by Human Development report (HDR) 1990 – led the path for many economists and researchers to turn the lime light on and foray in this direction against predefined notions of economic development and growth. Human development eventually has become a broader and more acceptable concept. Since then, tremendous amount of work has been done in this direction for countries across world. However, such indices for South Asian countries exclusively and comparison therein has remained unattended. The present paper intends to evaluate the human development indices and three key dimension of human development – health, literacy and income. In 2010, HDR, UNDP, proposed the Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index1 which tried to gauge the subgroup inequality. The Atkinson Inequality Index2 was used to work out subgroup inequality and to arrive at Inequality Adjusted Human development Index (IHDI). Infact, it was later realised that human development without measuring subgroup inequality would mask reality. The present paper is predominantly conceived to understand performance of India vis. a vis. other South Asian countries on human development dynamics. Each parameter is carefully analysed to ameliorate understanding of parameters and their impact on human development. The outcome of study is- human development dynamics and human capabilities measurement is redundant and meaningless unless the inequality in each parameter is premeditated which will in turn enhance the understanding.

Abstract This research background by violations of human rights (Human Rights) in Indonesia, particularly women's rights violations in the health sector. Yet the fulfillment of the right to health for women is clearly reflected from ranking Human Development Index (HDI) and Gender-Related Development Index (GDI). One indication is the high maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate increased. In Indonesia, maternal mortality rate is very high in comparison with other countries, even higher than those of developing countries in Southeast Asia. Omission of the right to health is a human rights violation. Therefore, the new law required an effort of political justice and protection of the rights women's health in Indonesia. Moreover Indonesia country is "state of law", the concept of the rule of law is the protection of human rights. In addition, the legal protection of human rights politics in the health sector comes as the commitment of Indonesia in the international program MDG.s. Keywords: politics of law, women's health, rights and justice. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh pelanggaran terhadap hak-hak asasi manusia (HAM) kaum perempuan di Indonesia khususnya pelanggaran terhadap hak-hak di bidang kesehatan. Belum terpenuhinya hak kesehatan bagi perempuan tercermin dengan jelas dari peringkat Human Development Index (HDI) dan Gender Related Developmen Index (GDI). Salah satu indikasinya adalah tingginya angka kematian ibu (AKI) serta meningkatnya angka kematian bayi. Di Indonesia, tingkat AKI sangat tinggi di bandingkan dengan negara-negara lain, bahkan lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan negara-negara berkembang di Asia Tenggara. Pembiaran terhadap hak-hak kesehatan merupakan sebuah pelanggaran HAM. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan politik hukum baru sebagai upaya keadilan dan perlindungan hak-hak kesehatan perempan di Indonesia. Apalagi negara Indonesa adalah “negara hukum”, konsep negara hukum adalah adanya perlindungan terhadap HAM. Selain itu, politik hukum perlindungan HAM di bidang kesehatan ini sebagai upaya komitmen Indonesia dalam program Internasional yakni MDG.s. Kata Kunci: politik hukum, kesehatan perempuan, HAM dan keadilan

Abstract Background Brain cancer is a rare and deadly malignancy with a low survival rate. The present study aims to evaluate the epidemiology of brain cancer and its relationship with the human development index (HDI) worldwide. Methods This is an ecological study. The data on cancer incidence and cancer mortality was extracted from the World Bank for Cancer in 2018 (GLOBOCAN 2018). The incidence, mortality rate, and brain cancer distribution maps were drawn for different countries. We used correlation and regression tests to examine the association of incidence and mortality rates of brain cancer with HDI. The statistical analysis was carried out by Stata-14 and a significance level of 0.05 was considered. Results According to the results of Global Cancer Registry in 2018, there were 18,078,957 registered cases of cancer in both sexes, of which 29,681 were related to brain cancer. The highest incidence (102,260 cases, 34.4%) and mortality (77,815 cases, 32.3%) belonged to very high HDI regions. Results showed that incidence (r = 0.690, P < 0.0001) and mortality rates (r = 0.629, P < 0.001) of brain cancer are significantly correlated with HDI. We also observed a positive correlation between brain cancer incidence and Gross National Income (GNI) (r = 0.346, P < 0.001), Mean Years of Schooling (MYS) (r = 0.64, P < 0.001), TABLE (LEB) (r = 0.66, P < 0.001) and Expected Years of Schooling (EYS) (r = 0.667, P < 0.001). Results also revealed that mortality rate was significantly correlated with GNI (r = 0.28, P < 0.01), MYS (r = 0.591, P < 0.01), LEB (r = 0.624, P < 0.01), and EYS (r = 0.605, P < 0.01). Conclusion The results of the study showed that the incidence and mortality of brain cancer in countries with higher HDI levels is higher than countries with lower HDI levels, so attention to risk factors and action to reduce it in countries with higher HDI levels in controlling this cancer in this Countries are effective.

Economic Development And Growth

Economic development and growth had been the most important target among all goverments throughout the history. In this respect, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in Middle Asian Region had chosen development as primary target in 20 years time after their independence. Human capital is the leading factor to maintain economic development and growth. Development and growth terms over which different meanings and concepts were imposed in time, necessitated several political economic alterations. Before 1970’s, increase in income had been sufficient criterion for the development of a government. But nowadays economic development incorporates factors such as life expectancy at birth, school enrolment ratio, literancy rate, gender discrimination, poverty alleviation, equal distribution of income beyond economic growth. Herewith this change political preference and priorities has started to differentiate. The aim of this study is to discuss human development index (HDI) data of 5 Middle Asian countries in 2010 and changes in HDI in years after their independence. Comparisan between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and HDI rates are also performed within this analysis. This study consists of data of 5 Middle Asian countries between years 1990-2010. Basic, retrospective, illustrative library method is used as the study method. In conclusion, we find that increase in GDP did not reflect over HDI in Middle Asian Countries within 20-years period.
