Abstract:

Water management is a global challenge. Important facts of current concern in the water sector are: water scarcity threatened by the increasing consumption, safe drinking water supply resources threatened by climate changes and pollutants discharged from anthropogenic activities; and the accelerated urbanisation demanding adequate water supply together with the increasing wastewater generated by the growing urban population. These issues are becoming an imperative need that could be effectively addressed through adaptive water management strategies for the sustainable development of the societ

Thesis Statement The thesis argument is that theory can be developed about the implementation, maintenance and dissemination of school health education based on a school development approach. Such theory development can assist teachers to design programs appropriate to the needs of their classrooms, schools and communities. Thesis Setting The implementation and maintenance of school health education programs has not usually been the focus of research and as a consequence is rarely reported in the literature.

Abstract:

<p> Public health reporting is an important source of information for public health investigation and surveillance, which are necessary for the prevention and control of disease. There are two important problems with the current public health reporting process in the United States: (a) the reporting specifications are unstructured and are communicated with reporting facilities using nonstandard public health department Web sites and (b) most reporting facilities transmit reports to public health entities using manual and paper-based processes.

China is moving towards a market economy. The greater use of market forces has made China richer, accelerated modernisation and increased productive efficiency but has created new problems, including, in the health sector, problems of inequity and allocative inefficiency. From 1997, the Chinese government committed to a national policy of regional health planning (RHP), as part of a broader commitment to harmonising social and economic development. However, RHP has been slow to impact on the equity and efficiency problems in health care. Planning requires information; better health decision-m

Abstract:

Maternal and child mortality, particularly during the neonatal period, are among the most challenging global health issues of this era. This burden disproportionately affects the poorest populations, across and within countries. And although many of these deaths would be avertable, improvements in most countries have been slow. This dissertation explores three main research questions: (1) what is the effect of maternal health on infant outcomes?; (2) what survival gains could be attained through improved interventions, across the continuum of care?; and (3) how do health system characteristics

Introduction A number of UK studies have investigated the role of pharmacists in public health (Blenkinsopp, et al. 2002; Anderson and Blenkinsopp 2003; Agomo 2012a).

Abstract:

Bone health is critically important to overall health and quality of life. The best protection against age-related bone loss and consequent fracture risk is to achieve appropriate peak bone mass (PBM) at skeletal maturity. Approximately 20-40% of lifestyle choices influence adult PBM. Addressing lifestyle-related risk factors during adolescence and young adulthood may be the most important primary prevention strategy to reduce the risk of future osteoporosis. Known risk factors include low calcium, vitamin D and physical activity levels as well as high salt and excessive consumption of alcohol

Strokes and ischaemic heart disease are among the top ten causes of death in South Africa.

The home oximetry data collection was robust, with few failures and the data allowed the rule in or rule out of moderate-severe OSA with high degree of certainty.

Abstract:

Patterns of food use and of social support and alliance are significant for the constitution of boundaries between religious and ethnic groups and the status hierarchies within them. Food and social support are also significant for health. In the case of British Asian communities, control of food intake has been identified as the key to overcoming their current epidemic of heart disease. Level of stress and social support have also been thought important for understanding levels of psychological distress among British Asians.
