BACKGROUND Age of marriage is a barrier to mother's health care around pregnancy and children health outcomes. OBJECTIVE We provide evidence on the health benefits of postponing early marriage among young wives (from age 10-14 to age 15-17) on women's health care and children's health for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Southwest Asia (SWA). METHODS We use data for 39 countries from the Demogr...

Health care processes are nowadays heavily dependent on Information Technology (IT). On the other side, assessing a higher quality of health care to patients has become increasingly important. Effective health care processes are thereby heavily dependent on a comprehensive IT-support. Therefore, a thorough understanding about both the hospital IT-systems and clinical pathways is required, to id...

There is an overwhelming tendency toward assortative matching on income and education on the marriage market. However, for women, greater income and education are often correlated with older age at first marriage, and therefore lower fertility. Using a bi-dimensional matching model with two factors, income and “reproductive capital,” I study the impact of career investments that delay marriage ...

Sensor networks that can support time-critical operations pose challenging problems for tracking events of interest. We propose an architecture for a sensor network that autonomously adapts in real-time to data fusion requirements so as not to miss events of interest and provides accurate real-time mobile target tracking. In the proposed architecture, the sensed data is processed in an abstract...
