  • esophageal cancer and associated factors among Uzbek turkmen and other ethnic groups in the northern part of afghanistan
    Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2017
    Co-Authors: Mohammad Hassan Hamrah, Mitsuro Kanda, Junichi Sakamoto, Asif Hami, Ahmad Edris Hamrah, Ahmad Elias Dahi
    Abstract:

    Background: A high incidence rate of esophageal cancer has been observed in the Northern part of Afghanistan, particularly among those of Uzbek-Turkmen ethnicity. However, there is a paucity of published data from which to compare the prevalence of environmental risk factors for esophageal cancer between Uzbek-Turkmen and other ethnic groups. Thus, we investigated the prevalence of environmental risk factors associated with esophageal cancer in the Northern part of Afghanistan, focusing on ethnicity differences. Methods: This retrospective study covered 168 patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer based on endoscopic findings when attending an outpatient clinic from October 2013 to April 2016. Demographic data and burden of relevant environmental risk factors were compared between Uzbek-Turkmen and other ethnic groups. Results: In the total of 168 patients (108 Uzbek-Turkmen and 60 other ethnicities), males had significantly higher rates of opium use, chewing nass (a mixture of tobacco, ash and lime), and smoking than female patients. The mean age of the Uzbek-Turkmen group was 62.9 years, while that of the other ethnic group cases was 59.1. The prevalence of opium use, chewing nass and hot tea consumption was significantly higher in the Uzbek-Turkmen group. Conclusions: This study showed that there were significant differences in prevalence of opium, nass, and hot tea consumption between Uzbek-Turkmen and the other ethnic group patients with esophageal cancer in the northern part of Afghanistan.

  • hierarchies of trade in yiwu and dushanbe the case of an Uzbek merchant family from tajikistan
    History and Anthropology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Diana Ibanez Tirado
    Abstract:

    This article focuses on the trading trajectory of an Uzbek family of merchants from Tajikistan. This family runs businesses in both Tajikistan’s capital, Dushanbe, and China’s famous international trading city: Yiwu. The analysis is centred on the accounts placed by Tajikistan’s Uzbek merchants about their historically sustained experience, often across several generations, in trading activities. These merchants’ claims of belonging to a ‘historical’ trading community rather than being ‘newcomers’ to long-distance commerce are articulated in relation to notions of ‘hierarchies of trade’ as they evolve in a twofold relational model linking Yiwu’s Changchun neighbourhood and Dushanbe. I suggest that the forms of conviviality enacted in Yiwu’s Changchun neighbourhood need to be understood in terms of the historical, multinational and transregional contacts that have occurred within the spaces of the former Soviet Union, as well as along the China-Russia and China-Central Asian borders. Equally, the hierarchies of trade of Uzbek merchants from Tajikistan in Yiwu’s Changchun neighbourhood cut-across markers of identity that juxtapose the roles of Tajik and Uzbek communities in Tajikistan’s contemporary politics and economics.

  • The Uzbek Growth Puzzle
    1999
    Co-Authors: Jeromin Zettelmeyer
    Abstract:

    After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan's output fell less than in any other former Soviet republic, and growth turned positive in 1996/97. Given the country's hesitant and idiosyncratic approach to reforms, this record has surprised many observers. This paper first shows that a standard panel model of growth in transition systematically underpredicts Uzbek growth from 1992-1996, confirming the view that Uzbekistan's performance constitutes a puzzle. It then attempts to resolve the puzzle by extending the model in a way that encompasses competing hypotheses of what makes Uzbekistan's output path unusual. The main result is that Uzbekistan's performance can be accounted for by a combination of low initial industrialization, its cotton production, and its self-sufficiency in energy.

  • The Uzbek Growth Puzzle
    IMF Working Papers, 1998
    Co-Authors: Jeromin Zettelmeyer
    Abstract:

    After the break-up of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan’s output fell less than in any other former Soviet Republic, and growth turned positive in 1996/97. Given the country’s hesitant and idiosyncratic approach to reforms, this record has suprised many observers. This paper first shows that a standard panel model of growth in transition systematically underpredicts Uzbek growth from 1992-1996, confirming the view that Uzbekistan’s performance consitutes a puzzle. It then attempts to resolve the puzzle by appropriately extending the model. The main result is that Uzbekistan’s output performance was driven by a combination of low initial industrialization, its cotton production, and its self-sufficiency in energy.
