Abstract:

Statistical classifications provide a basis for collecting and analysing data, for building knowledge and communicating information. A classification of public health interventions is being developed as part of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI). This is a pioneering development, as there have been no previous efforts to produce a standard classification of public health interventions. A comprehensive developmental appraisal of the draft classification of public health interventions was undertaken to gain an understanding of its strength

Abstract:

Introduction: This dissertation investigates the current management of cancer pain with particular emphasis on the World Health Organization analgesic ladder. This was considered necessary because published studies examining the adequacy of cancer pain control have suggested that the efficacy of the WHO ladder may have been overestimated and because the place of morphine as the 1st line opioid at Step III of the ladder has been challenged. The dissertation also investigates whether an alternative approach might be superior and further explores the patient barriers to the use of opioids. Method

Abstract:

Three empirical studies on characteristics of social classification are reported in this paper. The first study compared social tags with controlled vocabularies and title-based automatic indexing and found little overlaps among the three indexing methods. The second study investigated how well tags could be categorized to improve effectiveness of searching and browsing. The third study explored factors and radios that had the most significant impact on tag convergence. Finding of the three studies will help to identify characteristics of those tagging terms that are content-rich and that can

Abstract:

Background: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are a major global public health threat and tobacco use in particular is the leading cause of preventable illness and mortality globally. Furthermore, vulnerable and socially disadvantaged people get sicker and die sooner, especially because they are at higher risk of being exposed to harmful products such as tobacco and have limited access to health services. Tobacco use also has a major impact on the workplace, adversely affecting work productivity and increasing absenteeism. Both the living and work environments, therefore, play an important role

In the view of these writers, social classification applications such as the photo storage Web site Flickr and the Web bookmarks manager del.icio.us are both democratic, incorporating the participation of all Web users, and emergent, changing rapidly in response to new content.

Using three aspects of phenomenological theoryâ the movement of the mind out towards an entity and then back in an act of reflection, multiplicities within unity, and the sharing of intentionalities within a communityâ the discussion suggests that both tagging systems and the Semantic Web foster an intersubjective domain for the sharing and use of information resources.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) Programme for International Drug Monitoring (PIDM) was developed for chemical rather than biological products. The ability of the PIDM to meet the needs of vaccine safety is of international public health importance. Three studies were conducted: (1) a survey of authorities responsible for reporting adverse events following immunizations (AEFIs); (2) an analysis of the WHO Adverse Reactions Database; and (3) a systematic review to identify and compare Bayesian methods used in drug and vaccine signaling.

Abstract:

Background: Effective communication is key to team working in healthcare. It can be negatively impacted upon by existing cultures, logistical challenges, role confusion, and a lack of collaborative approaches to practice. Clinical guidelines recommend using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to aid communication within stroke teams. Yet no empirical evidence exists on the process or outcomes of such implementation. Aims: This project aimed to explore ways the ICF could be used with an acute stroke service and identify key learning from the implementati

Abstract:

A democracia sanitária exige que as normas do direito à saúde sejam derivadas de processos deliberativos que permitam a troca de argumentos que, por sua vez, conduzam à formação da vontade política, sendo que essa vontade deve ser constantemente submetida à confirmação em debates públicos para garantir a responsividade do governo e o controle do exercício do poder político. A partir dessa noção, pretendíamos verificar se, caso fosse aprovado o projeto de Marco para colaboração com os atores não estatais, no seio da reforma da Organização Mundial da Saúde, seriam criadas instituições e processo

Esse regime de patentes também dificulta os objetivos dos programas públ

Abstract:

Den här studien grundar sig i en kvalitativ textanalys ur ett retoriskt och semiotiskt perspektiv. Syftet med denna undersökning var att se om det finns några skillnader i budskapen i kriskommunikationen som rör Covid-19 på World Health Organizations Instagram- och TikTokkonto samt att se om det finns några retoriska argument i dessa inlägg. Uppsatsen vill även ta reda på hur WHO förstärker budskapen som kommuniceras. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna för denna studie är kriskommunikation och krisretorik. I den tidigare forskningen som denna uppsats utgått ifrån beskrivs framgångsrik kriskommunik
