World Health Statistics 2008
Author: World Health OrganizationPublisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9241563591
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
This annual edition presents the most recent statistics since 1990 of over 80 health indicators for WHO's 193 Member States. This fourth edition includes an expanded set of over 76 key indicators and a section with 10 highlights in global health statistics in the past year. This book has been collated from publications and databases of WHO's technical programmes and regional offices. The core set of indicators was selected on the basis of relevance for global health, availability and quality of data, and accuracy and comparability of estimates. The statistics for the indicators are based on an interactive process of data collection, compilation, quality assessment, and estimation between WHO technical programmes and its Member States. In this process, WHO strives to maximize accessibility, accuracy, comparability, and transparency of country health statistics. In addition to national statistics, this publication presents statistics on the inequalities in health outcomes and interventions coverage within countries, disaggregated by urban/rural setting, wealth/assets, and educational level. Such statistics are primarily derived from the analysis of household surveys and are only available for a limited number of countries.

This report of a WHO Expert Committee reviews current knowledge of Chagas disease and its pathogenesis discusses the causative parasite the triatomine vectors and the natural reservoirs of infection and considers the epidemiology and incidence trends of the disease. Prevention and control strategies are described as are the various formal initiatives for interruption of disease transmission. The report concludes by identifying priorities for research and offering guidance for the planning implementation and strengthening of national control programmes. ... this book makes an extremely valuable contribution toward understanding Chagas disease and promoting solid prevention and control efforts. It will no doubt be an important addition to the library of anyone student and expert alike with interests in Chagas disease. The authors are to be congratulated on the completion of a work of excellence - an extremely difficult endeavour at a time when our knowledge of vectors parasites and methodologies is expanding so rapidly. - Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
Annales Bogorienses
Author: The Eighth Day
Author: Richard Newbold AdamsPublisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292720610
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Can human social evolution be described in terms common to other sciences, most specifically, as an energy process? The Eighth Day reflects a conviction that the human trajectory, for all its uniqueness and indeterminism, will never be satisfactorily understood until it is framed in dynamics that are common to all of nature. The problem in doing this, however, lies in ourselves. The major social theories have failed to treat human social evolution as a component of broader natural processes. The Eighth Day argues that the energy process provides a basis for explaining, comparing, and measuring complex social evolution. Using traditional ecological energy flow studies as background, society is conceived as a self-organization of energy. This perspective enables Adams to analyze society in term of the natural selection of self-organizing energy forms and the trigger processes basic to it. Domestication, civilization, socioeconomic development, and the regulation of contemporary industrial nation-states serve to illustrate the approach. A principal aim is to explore the limitation that energy process imposes on human social evolution as well as to clarify the alternatives that it allows. Richly informed by contemporary anthropological historicism, sociobiology, and Marxism, The Eighth Day avoids simple reductionism and denies facile ideological categorization. Adams builds on work in nonequilibrium thermodynamics and theoretical biology and brings three decades of his own work to an analysis of human society that demands an extreme materialism in which human thought and action find a central place.

Category : Business & Economics

Pages : 62
Book Description
This publication deals with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural development interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. This guide is designed to assist technical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.
