У статті досліджено зміст технології фандрайзингу у контексті її впливу на розвиток об’єднання територіальних громад. Доведено, що для України здійснення фандрайзингової діяльності місцевому рівні є ефективним інструментом залучення додаткових ресурсів в об’єднані територіальні громади. Розглянуто особливості, джерела фандрайзингу, напрями реалізації його завдань. Обґрунтовано важливість краудф...

When male investment in mating varies with quality, reliable sexual signals may evolve. In many songbirds, testosterone mediates mating investment, suggesting that signals should be linked to testosterone production. However, because testosterone may change rapidly during behaviour such as territorial aggression and courtship, efforts to establish such a relationship have proved challenging. In...

The immediate goals of our study were twofold: (1) we sought to create a natural resource baseline for each of the communities in the area of investigation by utilizing GIS technology to monitor land use activities, to inventory plant and animal habitats as well as cultural resource features, and to redefine territorial boundaries. This technical analysis was then used by the tribes to plan for...

OBJECTIVES Nunavut is an Arctic territory in Canada subject to many social, economic and health disparities in comparison to the rest of the nation. The territory is affected by health care provision challenges caused by small, geographically isolated communities where staffing shortages and weather related access barriers are common concerns. In addition to national universal healthcare, the m...

We have been made aware that the estimate of individual repeatability that we used in our study (i.e. the intraclass correlation coefficient) overestimates repeatability, and that calculating repeatability using the analysis of variance-based method, as described by Lessells & Boag [1]), is a more appropriate estimate. Consequently, we have recalculated repeatability using this more appropriate...

This Chagas disease prevention project via housing improvement aims to determine the efficiencyof different interventions in vector control. The following study describes the target communities, disease magnitude, and housing improvements. Transmission levels are analysed from an ecological and socioeconomic perspective. Special interest was focused on the peridomicile as the origin of domicili...

OBJECTIVE Relatively little is known about the ability of Canadian emergency departments (EDs) and the federal, provincial and territorial governments to quantify ED activity. The objectives of this study were to determine the use of electronic patient data in Canadian EDs, the accessibility of provincial data on ED visits, and to identify the data elements and current methods of ED information...
