What will move malaria control to elimination in South Africa?
In this supplement, several authors have shared lessons from the past and identified factors that led to the significant reductions in malaria morbidity and mortality during the past half-century in South Africa. In addition, strategies for achieving malaria elimination have been proposed. Here, we highlight the gaps that have been identified and make proposals for taking South Africa from mala...
متن کاملShould the Democrats move to the left on economic policy?
In the paper “Should the Democrats move to the left on economic policy?” [Ann. Appl. Stat. 2 (2008) 536–549] by Andrew Gelman and Cexun Jeffrey Cai, because of a data coding error on one of the variables, all our analysis of social issues is incorrect. Thus, arguably, all of Section 3 is wrong until proven otherwise. We thank Yang Yang Hu for discovering this error and demonstrating its importa...
متن کاملMorbidity Control of Schistosomiasis by Mass Drug Administration: How Can We Do It Best and What Will It Take to Move on to Elimination?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has, for some time, encouraged countries endemic for schistosomiasis to control morbidity from this disease through mass drug administration (MDA) of the well-tolerated drug, praziquantel (PZQ). With the London Declaration in January 2012 and the promise by Merck Serono to eventually donate 250 million PZQ tablets per year, most endemic countries in sub-Sahar...
متن کاملWhen Regions Start to Move
In this paper, we discuss a formalism for modeling regions that are exposed to movement or deformation. The basis of our formalism is the RCC theory, which uses topological relations between regions to reason about them. By using fuzzy set theory and the notion of conceptual neighbors, we are able to deal with regions that can move or change over time. In addition, we introduce an algorithm for...
متن کاملWhen Should Control Be Shared?
We analyze the costs and benefits of allowing stakeholders in a firm to share control. In our model, there are conflicts among stakeholders and bargaining does not always lead to efficient decision-making. Although the logic of the Coase Theorem is such that bargaining problems lower the efficiency of decision-making regardless of who has control, we show that conflicts among parties favor undi...
