BACKGROUND Health Authorities seeking to make appropriate investments in health care require information about the nature of the burden of disease in their populations. The World Bank instrument called DALY-Disability Adjusted Life Year-has been used in the South and West Region to measure this burden. METHOD The burden of disease caused by a selection of diseases has been calculated using DA...

Following some years of practical application, weaknesses have been identified in the original 2018 version ‘social footprint’ methodology, where wellbeing was seen as exclusively related to consumption activities and inseparably linked production through budget constraint, implying that value limited be a mirror production. Several improvements both methodology data are presented here. The the...

INTRODUCTION There is an immense need for scaling-up neuropsychiatric care in low-income countries. Contextualized cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) provide relevant information for local policies. The aim of this study is to perform a contextualized CEA of neuropsychiatric interventions in Ethiopia and to illustrate expected population health and budget impacts across neuropsychiatric disorde...

AIMS The two components of disability-adjusted life year (DALY), years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD), are underutilized in evaluating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and in assessing the global burden of disease. We aim to describe both the direct (medical) and the indirect (morbidity and mortality) inpatient cost of congestive heart failure in a ...

Jelen vélemény Herman Daly társadalmi metabolizmusról papírra vetett megjegyzéseit elemzi egy hazai kutató szemszögéből. Tanulmányomban a metabolizmus által kitűnően vizsgálható két, időszerűnek tartott kérdést emelem ki, egyrészt környezeti problémák átterhelését, másrészt pedig gazdasági növekedés és az ökológiai rendszer viszonyát.

This article revisits checkpointing strategies when workflows composed of multiple tasks execute on a parallel platform. The objective is to minimize the expectation total execution time. For single task, Young/Daly formula provides optimal period. However, many simultaneously, risk that one them severely delayed increases with number tasks. To mitigate this risk, possibility checkpoint each ta...

Roman Carrasco and colleagues propose a "cap and trade" system for global health involving a cost-effectiveness criterion and a DALY global credit market, mirroring global carbon emission permits trading markets to mitigate climate change.
