Abstract:
An efficient Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system is a development imperative. Data on death registration and causes of death are important for measuring health outcomes. This paper evaluates the completeness and quality of data on death registration and causes of death (CoD) based on analysis of the registration records on death and causes of death for the period 2009–2018. Using established methods and approaches, we observed that CRVS system performed well on death registration completeness, quality of age and sex reporting. However, the quality of cause of death data was poor with 50% of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes classified as “major garbage codes” and significant time lag was observed in the transmission and production of vital statistics. The CRVS system in Maldives is complete with all deaths occurring within its territory registered and causes of death recorded. The two areas that require attention are the time taken for publication of vital statistics and quality of cause of death reporting. Appropriate re-engineering of the existing business process can build real-time mortality data, and regular quality assessment of death certificates with feedback to health facilities can bring sustained improvements in quality of vital statistics.

Abstract:
The algorithm is a key part of the online course registration system. It plays a vital role on the online course registration system to ensure most of issues like fairness, network bottleneck, multi-registration and multi-dropping be solved well. By supporting the registration way of multi-level, multi-category, and multi-willingness, introducing the willingness of students into the calculation of course priority and letting the willingness of students affect the selective probability, it meets the registration requirement maximally and solves the issues well including fake registration number and random registration. This article will introduce the design and implementation of the algorithm.

Abstract:
Abstract The registration system of death and cause of death as part of a good Civil Registration and Vital Statistics System (CRVS) form the basis for planning, monitoring and evaluating development programs. Ambon City as one of the development areas for recording death and causes of death since 2010 shows results that are still under-estimated (below 7 permill). Evaluation of the implementation process is needed to find out the obstacles. The qualitative methods include in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and collecting secondary data as supporting data. The analysis is part of the Comprehensive Evaluation Study on the Development of the Death Registration System and the Causes of Death in 14 districts/cities in Indonesia in 2014, carried out by triangulation and thematically compiled. The results obtained that the system of birth and death registration in the city of Ambon is already well-organized: there are regional regulations regarding the administration of population administration even though they have not included information on causes of death; the difference in vital registration data from various agencies; limited human resources, funds, facilities and infrastructure; and public awareness to report births/deaths still low. To increase the coverage of death registration and causes of death, it is necessary: local government regulations that include the cause of death; formation of joint committees and “one data” vital statistics; Autopsy Verbal (AV) workshop/training; utilization of funds from the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget and Health Operational Costs optimally; cooperation with community leaders (Muhabet) and socialization to the community. Abstrak Sistem registrasi kematian dan penyebab kematian sebagai bagian dari Sistem Registrasi Sipil dan Statistik Vital (Civil Registrations and Vital Statistics/CRVS) yang baik menjadi dasar untuk perencanaan, monitoring, dan evaluasi program pembangunan. Kota Ambon sebagai salah satu daerah pengembangan kegiatan pencatatan kematian dan penyebab kematian sejak tahun 2010, menunjukkan hasil yang masih under estimate (dibawah 7 permil). Evaluasi proses pelaksanaan diperlukan untuk mengetahui kendala yang dihadapi. Metode yang digunakan kualitatif meliputi wawancara mendalam, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dan mengumpulkan data sekunder sebagai data pendukung. Analisis merupakan bagian dari Studi Evaluasi Menyeluruh Pengembangan Sistem Registrasi Kematian dan Penyebab Kematian di 14 kabupaten/kota di Indonesia Tahun 2014, dilakukan dengan triangulasi dan disusun secara tematik. Hasil yang diperoleh bahwa sistem pencatatan kelahiran dan kematian di Kota Ambon sudah tersistem dan tertata cukup baik, ada peraturan daerah tentang penyelenggaraan administrasi kependudukan walaupun belum mencakup keterangan penyebab kematian; adanya perbedaan data registrasi vital dari berbagai instansi; keterbatasan sumber daya manusia, dana, sarana prasarana; serta kesadaran masyarakat untuk melaporkan kejadian kelahiran/kematian yang masih rendah. Untuk meningkatkan cakupan registrasi kematian dan penyebab kematian, diperlukan: regulasi pemerintah daerah yang menyertakan penyebab kematian; pembentukan komite bersama dan “one data” statistik vital; workshop/pelatihan Autopsy Verbal (AV); pemanfaatan dana Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) dan Biaya Operasional Kesehatan (BOK) secara optimal; kerjasama dengan tokoh masyarakat (Muhabet), dan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat.

Abstract:
Medicolegal death investigation systems, which generally fall within one of three types—medical examiner, coroner, or law-enforcement-led systems—investigate deaths that are unnatural or suspicious. The current quality of cause of death statistics on deaths investigated within medicolegal death investigation systems globally limits effective public health response. A starting point to strengthening global medicolegal death investigation systems and improving the quality of cause and manner of death reported to civil registration systems is through a strong legal framework. Two resources, the United Nations Statistics Division Guidelines on the Legislative Framework for Civil Registration, Vital Statistics and Identity Management and the Global Health Advocacy Incubator Legal and Regulatory Toolkit for Civil Registration, Vital Statistics and Identity Management, present recommendations and provide guidance to country stakeholders in reviewing and revising their medicolegal death investigation legal frameworks. Physician determination of cause and manner of death, defined criteria for case referral to the medicolegal death investigation system, an amendment process, and investigation collaboration are four core considerations for medicolegal death investigation system legal frameworks. A strong medicolegal death investigation legal framework is a necessary starting point, but it is not sufficient for ensuring the timely, accurate, and complete reporting of cause and manner of death in national vital statistics.

Abstract:
Abstract:Epidemiologists in many developing countries, where official demographic services are unavailable, have to include some demographic functions in their work. The usual method of documenting a study population for epidemiological research in a developing country consists of three stages: mapping, enumeration and vital registration. This paper considers the last element of this process, detailing the development of a suitable data system and explaining how its implementation using microcomputers and a database management system can help in the creation of an on-line continuous vital registration system for a study population as an epidemiological tool. The issues covered are data collection, entry and analysis, and the advantages of such a system for use in epidemiological research in developing countries are also discussed.

Abstract:
To improve service delivery of government, paper based vital event registration (VER) system should gradually be replaced by ICT based system. This paper highlights the barriers that may stand in implementing ICT in VER. Questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Population size for the research was 6,743 out of which 272 valid responses were used for the research. The gathered data were subjected to demographic study, T-test, ANOVA test and Reliability analysis. The correlation between independent and dependent variables were computed. It was found that nine constructs namely: cost, leadership and management support, organizational process and commitment, usability, human factor, system feature, infrastructure, acts, rules and regulations and political situation are major barriers for implementing ICT based system for vital event registration.

Abstract:
The complex and evolving picture of COVID-19–related mortality highlights the need for data to guide the response. Yet many countries are struggling to maintain their data systems, including the civil registration system, which is the foundation for detailed and continuously available mortality statistics. We conducted a search of country and development agency Web sites and partner and media reports describing disruptions to the civil registration of births and deaths associated with COVID-19 related restrictions. We found considerable intercountry variation and grouped countries according to the level of disruption to birth and particularly death registration. Only a minority of the 66 countries were able to maintain service continuity during the COVID-19 restrictions. In the majority, a combination of legal and operational challenges resulted in declines in birth and death registration. Few countries established business continuity plans or developed strategies to deal with the backlog when restrictions are lifted. Civil registration systems and the vital statistics they generate must be strengthened as essential services during health emergencies and as core components of the response to COVID-19.

Abstract:
Timely and accurate demographic data, resulting from robust Civil Registration and Vital Statistics [CRVS] systems play critical roles in facilitating the realisation of key developmental goals in most countries. A well-functioning CRVS system can afford Nigeria the ambit to gather timely data for evidence-based policy-making. However, just as in many other developing countries, Nigeria’s CRVS framework is plagued by weak institutional linkages resulting to poor quality sociodemographic data. Therefore, this paper focused on the importance of a robust CRVS system as source of quality sociodemographic data in Nigeria, with the objective of situating it within the broader context of good governance. The paper is primarily theoretical and employed the activity theory to examine access to and use of population-based data from the CRVS system for good governance. This paper concludes that the inability to generate actionable and quality population-based data due to Nigeria’s weak CRVS system, as well as non-data driven socioeconomic policies hinders good governance. Therefore, more investments are needed to scale-up Nigeria’s CRVS system and the resulting sociodemographic data should be a priority in driving national policy-making for good governance.

Abstract:
We provide an analysis of the main sources of data used to estimate fertility schedules in developing countries, giving special attention to Brazil. In addition to the brief history of various data sources, we present several indirect demographic methods, commonly used to estimate fertility and assess the quality of data. From the methods used, the Synthetic Relational Gompertz model gives the most robust estimates of fertility, independent of the data source considered. We conclude that different demographic data sources and methods generate differing estimates of fertility and that the country should invest in quality of birth statistics.

Abstract:
Introdução - Uma das formas de se aumentar a qualidade das informações sobre causas de morte é automatizar o processo de sua elaboração. O software Iris é um dos mecanismos disponíveis para esse fim. Suas principais características é que ele segue as regras internacionais de mortalidade e ele é independente de idioma. Objetivo - Elaborar para o Iris um dicionário na língua portuguesa e avaliar a sua completitude para a codificação das causas de morte. Método - O dicionário criado com dados do arquivo eletrônico do volume 1 da CID-10 e com o Tesauro da Classificação Internacional de Atenção Primária. Foi utilizado o Iris V4.0.34 e, como codificação manual, o que o Programa de Aprimoramento das Informações de Mortalidade no Município de São Paulo (PRO-AIM) da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de São Paulo escreveu nas declarações de óbito. Caso o Iris não codificasse as causas de morte, ajustes eram feitos no dicionário ou na tabela de padronização. Resultado - O Iris é capaz de codificar as causas de morte e selecionar a causa básica de morte, ambas automaticamente, é um software recente que está em constantes adequações, é independente de idioma e para usá-lo em cada país é necessário realizar somente um dicionário de causas de morte. No teste para avaliação da primeira versão do dicionário em português, o Iris apresentou um desempenho satisfatório. Foi capaz de codificar diretamente 50,6 por cento das declarações de óbito e, após ajustes e acréscimos no dicionário e na tabela de padronização, o software codificou todas as linhas em 94,44 por cento das declarações. Das declarações não codificadas completamente 89,19 por cento delas tinham algum diagnóstico contido no capítulo XX da CID-10. O Iris apresentou 63,1 por cento de concordância nas declarações de óbito pareadas considerando todas as causas de morte com códigos completos de 4 caracteres da CID-10. Conclusão - A realização dos ajustes no dicionário ou na padronização faz parte do processo de desenvolvimento do dicionário e que esse processo é continuo. Com as novas versões do Iris e atualizações e aprimoramento da codificação das causas externas, avanços serão feitos para que ele seja mais compatível com a realidade brasileira. Somado a isso, as futuras versões do Iris com um dicionário mais desenvolvido podem satisfazer as necessidades de codificação automática e melhorar a precisão dos dados de causa morte paras estudos de saúde pública.
Introduction - One way to increase the quality of causes-of-death statistics is to use computers for applying the rules systematically. Iris software is an available system for this purpose. Its main characteristics are that it follows international rules of mortality and it is language independent. Objective - Produce a Portuguese dictionary for Iris and assess its completeness of coding of causes of death. Methods - The creation of the dictionary used two sources: the electronic file of volume 1 of ICD-10 and Thesaurus of Classificação Internacional de Atenção Primária. Was used Iris V4.0.34 and for manual coding the codes at the Programa de Aprimoramento das Informações de Mortalidade no Município de São Paulo (PRO-AIM) of Secretaria Municipal de Saúde of São Paulo has written on death certificates. If Iris couldnt codify the causes of death, adjustments were made in the dictionary or standardization table. Results - Iris is able to encode causes of death and select the underlying cause of death, either automatically; is a recent software that is in constant adjustments; is a language independent software and to use it in your country you need only dictionary of causes of death. In the test for evaluation the first version of the Portuguese dictionary Iris showed satisfactory performance. He was able to code directly for 50.6 per cent of death certificates and, after adjustments and additions in the dictionary and standardization table, the software coded all lines in 94.44 per cent of death certificate. The statements do not fully coded 89.19 per cent had a diagnosis contained in Chapter XX of ICD-10. Iris presented 63,1 per cent agreement on paired death certificates considering all causes of death and 4-digit ICD-10 code level. Conclusion - making adjustments in the dictionary or the standardization is part of the development process of the dictionary and that this process is ongoing. With new Iris versions and updates in the management of the coding external causes, progress will be made to make it more compatible with the Brazilian reality. Added to this, future versions of Iris with a dictionary more developed can meet the needs of auto-tagging and improve the accuracy of data causes death to public health studies.

Abstract:
Civil registration (CR) is a continuous recording of births, deaths, causes of death, marriages, divorces, and migrations, and is fundamental to the socioeconomic development in every country. It establishes the legal identity of individuals and produces vital statistics (VS) of a population. Identity documents, including a birth certificate, signifies an individual's citizenship. They preset access to basic services, legal protection, and economic opportunities. Statistics produced from the civil registry are key to inform the planning and monitoring of development programs, including health. Birth registration is fundamental to the CRVS system because at-birth records provide the basic information needed by other sectors in order to plan and deliver their services. Also, they create a documentation path over individuals’ lifecycle. Poor birth registration performance, therefore, epitomizes a weak CRVS system. This study focuses on birth registration in Indonesia, one of the countries with the largest number of unregistered under-five years old children. It aims to identify factors that generate stronger birth registration in other lower middle-income countries and to examine the current state of birth registration in Indonesia. Based on the review of the global and regional practices and the analysis of the empirical evidence, this study proposes comprehensive solutions to engender an effective birth registration system in Indonesia. This study is presented in three papers, each of which addresses specific aims and research questions and together offer conceptual coherence on birth registration system in Indonesia. Paper 1 titled “Enablers to Stronger Birth Registration Systems in Developing Countries: A Qualitative Systematic Review” synthesizes experiences from birth registration strengthening programs. Paper 2 titled “Barriers and Opportunities of Birth Registration: Evidence from Indonesia” quantitatively analyzes the current state and the factors that affect the access to birth registration services in Indonesia. Paper 3 titled “Ending Invisibility Since Birth: Solutions for Birth Registration Policy in Indonesia and the Global Practice” discusses strategic changes that are required to improve the birth registration performance in Indonesia and potentially beyond. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the literature about Indonesia and birth registration systems while offering applicable ways to improve the situation.

Abstract:
Uganda's system of recording births and deaths was unusually comprehensive by colonial African standards, but colonial registration struggled to assign individuals a permanent, accurate identity. Many Ugandans used different names at different times in their dealings with officialdom, and local elites were complicit in this reidentification. The flexibility which is an inevitable component of a name-based registration system in East Africa served to alleviate social tension and exclusion. The possession of multiple names was advantageous to the weak, and could benefit rural elites, but it obstructed the state in its desire to monitor and control its population. The rise of biometric systems of identification is in part designed to bypass the naming problem, but also reflects the growing influence on African governments of two contradictory trends: the tying of aid to concepts of universal rights, and growing awareness of the potential of technology to undermine challenges to governmental authority.

Abstract:
Vital statistics have been politically fraught in South Africa for decades, not least because the state made very little effort to record information about the well-being of African women and children. This chapter shows that in the last years of the nineteenth century a working system of vital registration was developed in the colony of Natal and in the native reserves of the Transkei. From the beginning this delegated bureaucracy faced opposition from African patriarchs, from parsimonious white elected leaders and from the advocates of coercive systems of biometric identification. In the early 1920s, under the weight of mostly unfounded accusations of corruption, the system of registration by means of ‘native agency’ was deliberately terminated, despite the general enthusiasm of the magistrates charged with maintaining it.

Abstract:
This chapter will outline the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system and the changes that occur during childhood as this body system matures. Signs and symptoms of cardiovascular failure and nursing assessment and monitoring of the child will also be discussed. This knowledge will enable the nurse to recognize cardiovascular failure as early as possible and commence appropriate interventions. A range of interventions and clinical skills required for cardiovascular support are also explained, utilizing evidence-based guidelines. All aspects of care will be discussed using a family centred and child-friendly approach. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) introduced the use of essential skills clusters (ESC) to help pre-registration nursing students meet the standards of proficiency required for registration (NMC, 2007b). They are written from the perspective of what the public can expect of a newly qualified nurse and are designed to improve safe and effective practice. The information contained within this chapter covers aspects of most of the skills clusters. In particular, the underpinning principles from: care, compassion, and communication (1); organizational aspects of care (9, 10); infection prevention and control (22, 25, and 26); and nutrition and fluid management (29, 32) which are integrated throughout the discussion. At the end of this chapter you will: ● Understand the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system and the changes that occur during childhood as this body system matures. ● Learn to recognize signs and symptoms of cardiovascular failure. ● Be familiar with nursing assessment and cardiovascular monitoring of the child. ● Understand how the nurse recognizes cardiovascular failure as early as possible and commences appropriate interventions. ● Begin to develop an understanding of the range of interventions and clinical skills required for cardiovascular support. The cardiovascular system is vital for supplying the tissues of the body with blood. This blood supply enables the needs of individual cells for oxygen and nutrients and removal of waste products to be met (metabolic demands). The body is also able to achieve these functions under a variety of circumstances: at rest or sleeping; during exertion through exercise; and during the extra demands placed on the body as a result of illness.

Abstract:
This chapter covers definitions of suicidal behaviours and how they vary over time, reflecting predominant philosophies and schools of thought. The limitations in the quality of information about suicide mortality, as a common feature affecting the whole vital registration system, are discussed. The smaller the coverage a country receives, the greater the probability of distortions, which adds to any previous distortions already flawing the data. It should be strongly emphasized that these shortcomings affect the system as a whole, and hence all causes of death. However, suicidologists seem to be much more punctilious about under-reporting of suicide, and the essential unreliability of this information, than experts dealing with mortality from other causes. Coordinated efforts should be made to strengthen those systems, paying attention to the specificity of sociocultural factors’ influence on defining, recording, and reporting suicide as a cause of death.

In so far as this consideration is directed towards a society that may be unambiguously categorized as ‘preindustrial’ throughout this era, it is unavoidable that at various stages of the argument it will be necessary to engage with the classical Malthusian model of the relationship between living standards and population growth rates, although some assessment will be made of the role played by epidemic disease in determining both the width and depth of the cycle. In addition an attempt will be made to chart the principal changes to the economy and society relating to shifting numbers and geographical distribution of persons on the land during the extensive phases of demographic decline and recovery. Before engaging with theory and explanations of long-term trends some mundanely empirical steps will be taken so that the broad dimensions of the ‘cycle’ might be established. Empiricism is no straightforward endeavour in the absence of serial census records of any kind, let alone individual census counts for randomly distributed moments, over this extensive fourcentury period. It is at least fortunate that the final 150 years of the cycle yield evidence from parish registers, which in recent years have been exploited by historical demographers in ways that make it possible to establish annual population totals and vital rates from 1541. In attempting to establish population trends and totals before a system of parochial registration of baptisms, marriages, and burials was in place, historians succumb to what Sir Michael Postan (1966: 561) once termed the ‘lure of aggregates’ by engaging in decidedly problematic, although unavoidable, exercises. In this present discussion we are in danger of incurring Postan’s wrath since we employ one central and vital source that relates to demographic conditions in one year only, around which a key argument in this discussion revolves.

Abstract:
During the 20th century, surveying and mapping became vital tools for states; and colonizers used them to know and claim the land. The Mandate of Palestine’s Survey of Palestine surveyed parts of historic Palestine. Their modernist ethos to register the land converged with Zionist visionaries to make it their own. With the Hagannah looting the Survey of Palestine, the Israeli state-in-the making had access to cartographic material which helped them win the 1948 war and facilitated their statecraft. Post-1948, the Survey of Israel designed a new unified triangulation system, enabling the production of maps. The Israeli state also introduced a novel land tenure system. The seemingly imprecise land allocation practices common during the Ottoman Empire were pitted against a technocratic, modernist conception of land ownership, that, by virtue of its implementation, dispossessed many Arab landholders. However, enforcement of technocratic regulations depends on humans. Indeed, the process of land registration reveals how surveyors who would go to villages to ascertain land rights were the human and, at times, a weak link in doing so. Nevertheless, at the end of this process, 93% of land had become Israeli state land. The transformation in the land regime in Israel/Palestine thus attests to how new legal precepts in tandem with science and technology helped establish a modern, territorially defined state. While the Western scientific and legal paradigm enhanced the transfer of land, it also seemingly legitimized and depoliticized the new land regime, making it seem part of the natural order of things and an inevitable outcome of modernity.

Abstract:
A growing amount of reports on heavy lift operations involving huge crane vessels prove that investigations on the motion behavior of multi-body systems are vital regarding the combined aspects of safety and economics. In this paper a method of transforming frequency-domain into time-domain results is presented. With the panel program WAMIT (WAMIT Inc.) the Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) of the motions in six degrees of freedom of the structures involved in a lift operation are calculated. The multi-bodies RAOs differ significantly from those of the single structures (without interaction effects). The consideration of hydrodynamic coupling is therefore essential for the prediction of accurate relative motions between the structures. Frequency-domain results are still important when determining operational limitations. But only with simulations in time-domain the relation between cause and reaction can be studied in detail. Results from simulations provide for example decision support for finding uncritical starting points of the lift off operation. By Fouriertransforming the RAOs the impulse-response functions are obtained. Having the impulse-response function the time-dependent system responses in arbitrary deterministic wave registrations are determined by convolution. This method allows fast and effective time-domain simulations of multi-body systems. Results are presented for a crane semisubmersible and a conventional transport barge. The influence, particularly the sensitivity of wave height and wave length on the response is shown in wave packets.
