Profile of Health Crisis Response within District with High Risk of Natural Disaster : District of Landak, Indonesia
ALTER, European Journal of Disability Research 9(2015)317–330.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the varying scope and content of data collection instruments on child disability and to provide a historical snapshot of the rates of reported disability among children. A total of 716 data sou...rces were identified, corresponding to 198 countries covering more than 95% of the world’s children. The findings reveal a lack of consistent definitions and measures of disability, which contribute to major challenges in producing reliable and comparable statistics.

Unsere E-Learning Einheit zum Thema rationale Auswahl von Kontrazeptiva richtet sich an MitarbeiterInnen von Programmen und Projekten deutscher Nichtregierungsorganisationen in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, die in der humanitären Hilfe im Bereich reproduktive Gesundheit und Fraüngesundheit täti...g sind.
Das Modul soll dazu beitragen, Fraüngesundheitsprojekte in Ländern des globalen Südens so zu planen und zu betreuen, dass eine rationale Entscheidung bei der Auswahl an Kontrazeptiva sichergestellt werden kann. Fraüngesundheitsprojekte sollten nicht allein den Zugang zu Verhütungsmitteln verbessern, sondern darüber hinaus auf Nutzen, Schaden und Anwendungsbeschränkungen der einzelnen Produkte aufmerksam machen sowie den NutzerInnen gute Argumente und Entscheidungskriterien zur Auswahl von Kontrazeptiva liefern. Dadurch können Gesundheitsgefahren durch Kontrazeptiva für Fraün und Mütter verringert werden.

Introduction
This document was prepared by a technical task force of the Shelter Working Group (SWG) in Jordan for the Syrian refugee response and is intended to guide HLP rights interventions in host communities. The objective of the document is to provide Shelter sector partners with basic info...rmation on, primarily, housing rights, as the most relevant part of Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights.

Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have revolutionized treatment for hepatitis C. Combi-
nations of DAAs can cure infection with HCV in 12 weeks, are highly effective and
have limited side-effects. Affordability of DAAs has improved significantly, but access remains lim-
i...ted. Initially, due to their high prices, affordability of DAAs was limited in high-, middle- and low-
income countries alike. Now there is a divide between those countries where, because of intellectual
property barriers, prices have remained (very) high and other countries where generics are, or can be,
available at much lower prices. The result is a dual market

This Study presents the key results of a research that analyses the implications of an ambitious agroecological transition across Europe, following the TYFA scenario. Published in 2018, what it proposes by 2050 is fully aligned with the objectives that the European Farm to Fork and Biodiversity stra...tegies aim to achieve by 2030, in particular regarding the decrease in pesticides, nitrogen, and antibiotics on the supply side, and the transition towards more plant-based diets on the demand side. Using a world biomass balance model (GlobAgri-AgT), the impact of the TYFA scenario in the EU on world land use, the EU physical trade balance, the provision of calories and global food security is analysed in addition to key policy levers to spur the transition.

A systematic review of clinical and observational antiparasitic treatment studies to assess the potential for establishing an individual participant-level data platform.
Chagas disease (CD), caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, affects ~6–7 million people worldwide. Significant limitations s...till exist in our understanding of CD. Harnessing individual participant data (IPD) from studies could support more in-depth analyses to address the many outstanding research questions. This systematic review aims to describe the characteristics and treatment practices of clinical studies in CD and assess the breadth and availability of research data for the potential establishment of a data-sharing platform.

Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a neglected tropical disease transmitted by triatomine insects, first identified in 1909. Chagas disease affects approximately 6–7 million peop...le globally and is highly prevalent in Latin America where most cases are reported. However, there is increasing evidence that Chagas disease is now an important public health issue outside the “classical” endemic countries due to population migration. Our understanding of Chagas disease, including its pathologies and factors relating to progression, remains to date limited, and is also challenged by lack of diagnosis and highly effective treatment. This systematic review aims to describe studies with Chagas patients receiving antiparasitic treatment. Databases were searched for relevant studies published after 1997, and the results of these searches were screened.
