The paper develops a tool for livelihood recovery assessment in disaster-preventive resettlement. A new conceptual framework is built based on the impoverishment risks and reconstruction (IRR) model. This framework leads to a quantitative model that was designed and tested using the disaster resettlement preventive engineering (DRPE) project in Baihe county of China. The new model evaluates the qualities of livelihood recovery in terms of three components: Life reconstruction, development reconstruction, and safety reconstruction, which consider features specific to the Chinese society, and introduce a new insecurity factor. The model showed good reliability, validity, and sensitivity for the evaluation of livelihood reconstruction in disaster-preventive resettlement. Its application will help to target interventions to improve public services in resettlement areas by identifying cases with inadequately sustainable livelihoods.

Abstract Genetic interference means that the occurrence of one crossover affects the occurrence and/or location of other crossovers in its neighborhood. Of the three components of genetic interference, two are well modeled: the distribution of the number and the locations of chiasmata. For the third component, chromatid interference, there exists only one model. Its application to real data has not yet been published. A further, new model for chromatid interference is presented here. In contrast to the existing model, it is assumed that chromatid interference acts only in the neighborhood of a chiasma. The appropriateness of this model is demonstrated by its application to three sets of recombination data. Both models for chromatid interference increased fit significantly compared to assuming no chromatid interference, at least for parts of the chromosomes. Interference does not necessarily act homogeneously. After extending both models to allow for heterogeneity of chromatid interference, a further improvement in fit was achieved.

This paper presents the conceptual framework and methodology that has been developed to perform usability evaluations of commercially available equipment for use in telemedicine applications. Specifically, the three components of the evaluation methodology, namely, technical acceptability, operational effectiveness, and clinical appropriateness, are described. This methodology was used to evaluate commercially available video-otoscope systems for use in a store-and-forward teleconsultation project.

Law Making

The paper defines the main theoretical aspects of the concept of public services in Ukraine. It is substantiated the expediency of the development of a unified concept of public services as a basic document for the modern domestic rule-making process aimed at developing modern legislation on public services, which is perfect in content and effective in application, and also for the elaboration of its scientific basis – the provisions of modern national administrative-legal science. It is developed a version of the Concept of public services, its content is covered. The proposed version contains three sections: Section I “General provisions” defines the main conceptual framework, raises problems, establishes purpose, tasks, terms of implementation of the Concept of public services; Section II “Ways and methods of problems solving, terms of implementation of the Concept of public services in Ukraine” specifies particular measures that must be taken to achieve the goal and solve the problems. These measures are conditionally divided into three groups: educational measures (the process of preparation of the standards for legal education), scientific measures (research), law-making measures (statutory acts regulating the activities of actors, procedures, guarantees). Section III “Expected results of the implementation of the Concept of public services in Ukraine” proposes the main results predicted to be achieved by virtue of three abovementioned directions (groups of measures) for the implementation of the Concept’s provisions.

Wide Range

Distance education involves a wide range of elements, including students, instructors, institutions, classroom technology, state agencies and accrediting boards. The educational process model provides a conceptual framework to integrate these diverse elements. The following discussion begins with a brief background on the systems and communication basis of the new model. Then it elaborates the model’s elements, including the inputs (resources and philosophy), purpose (intentions and audiences), methods (technological genre and educational process); integration (pedagogy); outputs (product and interpretation); and assessment (institutional and research).

BACKGROUND Healthcare databases contain a wealth of information that can be used to develop programs and mature healthcare systems. Of concern, the sensitive nature of health data (e.g. ethnicity, reproductive health, sexually transmitted infections, lifestyle information, etc.) can have significant impact on individuals if misused, particularly among vulnerable and marginalized populations. As academic institutions, NGOs, and international agencies begin to collaborate with low and middle-income countries (LMICs) to develop and deploy health information technology (HIT), it is important to understand the technical and practical security implications of these initiatives. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to develop a conceptual framework for risk stratifying global health data partnerships and HIT projects. In addition to identifying key conceptual domains, we mapped each domain to a variety of publicly available indices that could be used to inform a quantitative model. METHODS We conducted a non-systematic review of the literature to identify relevant publications, position statements, white papers, and reports. The research team reviewed all sources and used the Framework Method and Conceptual Framework Analysis to name and categorize key concepts, integrate them into domains, and synthesize them into an overarching conceptual framework. Once key domains were identified, public international data sources were searched for relevant structured indices to generate a quantitative counterpart. RESULTS We identified five key domains to inform our conceptual framework: 1) State of Health Information Technology, 2) Economics of Healthcare, 3) Demographics and Equity, 4) Societal Freedom and Safety, and 5) Partnership and Trust. Each of these domains was mapped to a number of structured indices. CONCLUSIONS There is a complex relationship between the legal, economic, and social domains of healthcare, which impacts the state of HIT in LMICs and associated data security risks. The strength of partnership and trust between collaborating organizations is an important moderating factor. Additional work is needed to formalize the assessment of partnerships and trust, and to develop a quantitative model of the conceptual framework that can help support organization decision-making.
