Dengue virus (DENV) affects nonimunne human populations in tropical and subtropical regions. In the Americas, dengue has drastically increased in the last two decades and Brazil is considered one of the most affected countries. The high frequency of asymptomatic infection makes difficult to estimate prevalence of infection using registered cases and to locate high risk intra-urban area at population level. The goal of this spatial point analysis was to identify potential high-risk intra-urban areas of dengue, using data collected at household level from surveys. Two household surveys took place in the city of Goiania (~1.1 million population), Central Brazil in the year 2001 and 2002. First survey screened 1,586 asymptomatic individuals older than 5 years of age. Second survey 2,906 asymptomatic volunteers, same age-groups, were selected by multistage sampling (census tracts; blocks; households) using available digital maps. Sera from participants were tested by dengue virus-specific IgM/IgG by EIA. A

In the absence of South African longitudinal data for the ten years post apartheid, national cross-sectional household survey data is frequently used to analyse change over time. When these data are stacked side-by-side however, they reveal inconsistencies both in trends across time and between the household and person level data. These inconsistencies can introduce biases into research which analyse change. This study calculates a new set of person and household weights for the October Household Surveys between 1995 and 1999 and the Labour Force Surveys between 2000 and 2004. A cross entropy estimation approach is used. This approach is favoured because the calculated weights are similar to the initial sample weights (and hence retain the survey design benefits) while simultaneously being consistent with aggregate auxiliary data. A consistent series of aggregates from the Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA) model and the 1996 and 2001 South African Census data are used as benchmarks. The ...

Many factors could be co-related with psychological distress in secondary school adolescents. Few of such factors are the style parents adopt in raising their adolescents, and the family characteristics in which adolescents are nurtured. This study was designed to look at the relationship between parenting style/family characteristics and adolescents’ psychological distress. Specifically, the study was designed to investigate the styles that parents adopt in raising their children, the family characteristics of adolescents, such as the family type, the family size and parental figure, and how these variables can contribute to psychological distress among secondary school adolescents. To guide the study, six hypotheses were formulated. The descriptive survey was adopted for the study, in which five schools were randomly selected for the study; selection of schools was restricted to only mixed gender schools in order to make comparisons easier. 40 students were selected from each of the schools

Unequal power relations operate not only in the public world but also in the private sphere, within households. This Guidance has been developed to support national statistical offices in developing ways to measure power in the private sphere, looking at who usually makes decisions about a variety of matters, from routine grocery shopping to saving up for a car, and from seeing a doctor to visiting relatives.. The Guidance proposes seven different dimensions of intra-household decision-making: Union formation, sexual and reproductive decisions; Decisions about division of labour; Health-related decisions; Decisions about social life and personal liberties; Decisions about childrens education and upbringing; Financial decisions; Perception of control and satisfaction with decision-making ...

That said, most older Australians own their home, so the cost of living for these people is not substantially affected by accommodation costs. For example, in 2002-03, for reference persons aged 55 years or over living in private dwellings, 72% owned their home outright, and for those aged 65 years or over the outright ownership rate was 80%. Thus, for households where the reference person was aged 55 years or over (the age group most relevant to grandparent families), the housing costs were lower than for other households. In 2002-03, housing costs for households where the reference person was aged 55 years or over were just over one quarter of the housing costs of other households. As a proportion of gross household income, the housing costs of the older households were 6% - less than half the proportion they were for other households. ...

Three waves of data were collected, in addition to detailed information about program group members participation and engagement in SHM services. The first wave of data was collected when families first enrolled in the SHM study, just prior to being randomly assigned. Husbands and wives were asked to complete a set of baseline instruments that capture socio-demographic and other characteristics such as employment, education, household composition, marital quality and satisfaction, and prior life experiences. The second wave of data was collected approximately 12 months after families first entered the study, through an adult follow-up survey and an observational study. All husbands and wives were asked to complete a follow-up survey (10,181 respondents). The survey includes measures of household composition, marital stability, marital quality, parental psychological well-being, parental employment and economic outcomes, material and financial hardship, social support and networks, coparenting ...

This study looks at household contacts of a notified pertussis case and the impact that vaccination and antibiotic usage has on transmission. It identifies several methodological problems with household studies of pertussis including selection bias if using notified cases, lack of consistency in sensitivity when using case definition/clinical history to determine case status, and the importance of controlling for antibiotic treatment in studies of household transmission estimating vaccine effectiveness.

Internal to the model the denominator of this equation is referred to as the household intensity, which falls as the pre-work age term rises. Thus the household size rises with the pre-work age term.. There is an additive shift factor calculated in the first year of the model run to assure a match of the calculated and empirical values; that shift factor decays to zero over 100 years.. ...

People should consider the potential privacy concerns associated with the use of online or telephone-based communications (e.g., screen grabs) when they engage in the activities described above.. Reducing the risk of transmission during sex. There are a few ways to reduce the risk of exposure to the virus during sex that involves in-person contact. These include limiting sexual contact to someone in the same household, to a regular partner outside of their household or to the small group of people in their social circle. In any scenario, sex should only be had with consenting partners.. Sex with someone in the same household is not any riskier than other forms of physical closeness that are common when people live together. Limiting sex to a household partner is the second-safest option, after sex that involves physical distancing.. If this is not an option, sex can be limited to one regular partner outside their household or with people in a small social circle to reduce the risk of virus ...

We are extending, until December 28, 2018, the expiration date of our disability examiner authority (DEA) rule, which authorizes State agency disability examiners to make fully favorable determinations without the approval of a State agency medical or psychological consultant in claims that we consider under our quick disability determination (QDD) and compassionate allowance (CAL) processes. This is our last extension of this rule because we will phase out the use of DEA during the extension period under section 832 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA). This extension provides us the time necessary to take all of the administrative actions we need to take in order to reinstate uniform use of medical and psychological consultants. The current rule will expire on November 11, 2016. In this final rule, we are changing the November 11, 2016 expiration or sunset date to December 28, 2018, extending the authority for 2 years and 1 month. This is the final extension of our DEA rule.

Downloadable! This article focuses on the consequences of the Indian lockdown in terms of debt. It is based on an ongoing study in a rural area of Tamil Nadu, South India. It draws on a long-term knowledge of this region, longitudinal quantitative household survey data on employment, debt and assets (2010-2016/17) as well as qualitative surveys conducted by telephone since the beginning of the lockdown in March 2020. Our results show: (i) the drying up of part of farm income and the bulk of off-farm income; (ii) the limited role of cash saving and cash transfers; (iii) the debt burden, since the population has faced massive debt growth over the past decade and some households are already very financially fragile; (iv) a predominance of informal finance with, however, a rise in finance; (v) a suspension of repayments, including for most informal lenders; (vi) a halt to unsecured debt and an erosion of the trust that cements most transactions; (vii) finally, the emergence of new forms of secured debt that

The study assessed the social factors that influence residential area preference in Otukpo town of Benue State, Nigeria. Variables considered based on households΄ characteristics and used for the study include: sex, age, marital status, household size, educational level, the safety of neighborhoods, and availability of school, power supply, water supply and public transport. Three sampling techniques were employed for the study.

A total of 400 households were selected and administered questionnaire, but 386 households returned their questionnaire. The data collected for this study were analyzed using factor analysis because of its ability to reduce large variables to manageable factors. Using factor analysis based on Kaiser Principle, two factors ...

Downloadable! In this paper the role of family structure in mitigating income volatility in the absence of income insurance in low-income agricultural environments is discussed. Hypotheses concerning the relationship between the membership, size and composition of households and insurance-based income transfers are tested using longitudinal data from India. A test is also performed of whether a households ability to reduce risk ex post via family arrangements affects its willingness tobear risk ex ante through its selection of formal tenancy contracts. The results support these hypotheses concerning the risk-mitigating roles of both household structure and share contracts, and indicate as well the importance of heterogeneity in risk-aversion across households.

Most work on the demography of kinship has concentrated on the nuclear family, lineal consanguineals, and household structure and has been informed by stable population theory. This article focuses on demographic instability, collateral kin, inferences for political life, and kin selection and implicitly on anthropological societies. Anthropological societies are small and structured by status rather than contract (1). Kinship is the most important component of organization in such societies, within which most of the history of the genus Homo has been played out. Kinship is also an important component of political and economic activity in other societies, especially among elites or ethnic subgroups (see, for example, ref. 2; see also refs. 3-12). The moral imperatives governing relations between kin of different categories and the role of kinship as the foundation of social structure are explicated especially in the work of Radcliffe-Brown and Forde (13), Evans-Pritchard (14), Fortes (15, ...

Lulu Nair at a panel at IAS 2017 , DTHF. Dr Millicent Atujuna presented her research on how family household structures can affect whether adolescents take the HIV-prevention drug, PrEP. Youth are a key population that are vulnerable to unique barriers when accessing HIV prevention tools, including prejudices at home. The study, that took place in Cape Town, South Africa, questions 50 participants who were HIV negative and sexually active to explore what sorts of familial support are available.. Three main types of family support structure were found: the close-knit family who actively support their childrens prevention choices, the loose-knit family who gave no support and the family that gave passive support. The majority of the adolescents had disclosed their PrEP usage to the family, but over a quarter had kept it a secret. Atujuna commented that In general, we found support to be fundamental to PrEP use; however, family support empowered youth more than partner support, highlighting its ...

This Record provides a mechanism for identifying the relationship of each individual in a household to all others. There are two records for each relationship pair to separately identify the relationship in either direction (e.g. one record identifies that person 1 is the parent of person 3, while another record identifies that person 3 is the child of person 1). The relationship codes are not gendered, so the sex of each person is also given. The relationship given is that of the second person to the first (e.g. if KPNO = 1 and KOPNO = 3 and KREL = 4 (natural child)) then person 3 is the natural child of person 1. The variable KLWSTAT allows the computation of household composition change measures since Wave Ten. The results displayed in the following tables are obtained from unweighted data. A full discussion of the use of the weights contained on this Record Type appears in Volume A ...

This survey aims at estimating the number of persons with symptoms associated with the flu syndrome and at following up the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Brazilian labor market.. The data collection of the National Household Sample Survey - PNAD COVID19 began on May 4, 2020, with interviews by telephone in nearly 48 thousand households per week, adding up to nearly 193 thousand households per month in the entire National Territory. The sample is permanent, i.e., the households interviewed in the first month of data collection will remain in the sample along the next months, up to the end of the survey.. The questionnaire is divided into two parts, one directed to health issues, specifically on symptoms associated with the flu syndrome, and the other, to labor issues. The health issues investigate the occurrence of some of the major symptoms of COVID19 in the reference period of the survey, taking into account all the residents of the household. Those who showed any symptom are asked ...

This paper will have three parts. Firstly, it will review existing literature on the role of grandparents as child-carers. Secondly, it will offer new evidence from the UK Time Use Survey on the amounts of time spend by women and men over the age of 45 in providing childcare to other households, and the number of hours of care received by children from their grandparents, differentiating both care-giving and care-receiving generations by age, employment status, occupation and region. Thirdly, these findings are combined with demographic evidence about the likelihood that mothers in successive cohorts have had their own mother still alive and well, living in the same local authority district and not employed full-time, during the period when their first child was aged 3-11..

The reason why doctors administer the Hepatitis B injection to babies so early is that often mothers or other household contacts in the family may not be aware that they are the carriers and may transmit the disease to the newborn. 9 out of 10 children affected by the Hepatitis B will remain carriers for a very long time. One in four of those can go on to develop very severe things, such as liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure or even death. However, its a vaccine preventative disease and its important to protect the baby from an early age to protect them in later stages of their life ...

The Swedish households debt relative to income has increased for some time now, with the Riksbanks executive board expressing its concern for the risk it brings. It has been debated whether or not to take the high indebtedness into account when setting the policy rate. There is at the same time no consensus about the relationship between the repo rate and household debt. This study aims to examine the effect of a change in the repo rate on household debt-to-income ratio, using a VAR-model. The result is that a 1 percentage point shock to the repo rate for one quarter will have a negative impact on the household debt-to-income ratio by 1.75 percentage points after about 8 quarters. However this may not decrease the risk associated with the debt due to higher unemployment. ...

For example, in 2020 we changed our Beyond® Grain Free Recipe packaging from multi-material to mono-material which can then be recycled where infrastructure exists.. As well as reducing the complexity of packaging, we are also exploring new paper-based materials and participating in the CEFLEX project, which works towards the development of consistent facilities across the EU to collect, sort and recycle all types of used flexible plastics by 2025. We are working to support consumers, making the recycling process as easy as possible through the use of packaging that can be recycled at the same time as other household materials - where the right facilities exist.. We are also introducing reusable packaging and new delivery systems and innovative business models to avoid use of single-use packaging. For example, 19 shops in 3 regions of Russia consumers can already buy Purina products in bulk using their own packaging. We are also testing in a few shops in Switzerland a new closed-loop bulk ...

his Tracking Report presents findings from the HSC Community Tracking Study Household Survey, a nationally representative telephone survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population conducted in 1996-97, 1998-99 and 2000-01. Each of the surveys was conducted over a roughly 12-month period that overlapped two calendar years (e.g., from September 2000 to September 2001). For ease of presentation and discussion, we refer only to a single calendar year for each of the surveys (1997, 1999 and 2001), although the results also reflect the latter part of the preceding year for each of the surveys. Data were supplemented by in-person interviews of households without telephones to ensure proper representation. Each round of the survey contains information on about 60,000 people, and response rates ranged from 60 percent to 65 percent.7. Estimates of unmet need and delayed care were based on the following two questions: (1) During the past 12 months, was there any time when you didn t get the medical ...

Household food security continues to weaken as the current consumption period progresses, according to the Namibia Early Warning and Food Information Unit (NEWFIU). Most households interviewed revealed that last seasons harvest is diminishing and is currently being supplemented with market purchases to prolong its availability, NEWFIU said.. Many farmers have reported that there will be no significant improvement to household food security this season due to poor rainfall. In a normal situation household food security starts to improve around March when the green harvests such as maize, cow peas, and squash become available and ready for consumption until the main harvest, said NEWFIU ...

Currently, family planning metrics derived from nationally-representative household surveys such as the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) categorise women into those desiring to space or limit (permanently stop) births, or according to their age in the case of young women. This conceptualisation potentially ignores a large and growing group of young women who desire to delay a first birth. This study uses household survey data to investigate the characteristics and needs for family planning of women who want to delay their first birth. The research was conducted in two rural districts in southern Tanzania (Tandahimba and Newala), and nested within the Expanded Quality Management Using Information Power (EQUIP) study. Data were collected as part of a repeated cross sectional household survey conducted between September 2013 and April 2014. The socio-demographic characteristics, including parity, contraceptive practices and fertility intentions of 2128 women aged 13-49 were analysed. The association

Assessing the relationship between socio-cultural factors and varieties richness at household level, no significant association was found between the number of varieties held by household and the age of the respondent, number of years of experience in pigeonpea cultivation, the size of household and number of family members engaged in agricultural activities. This finding does not substantiate our hypothesis and this could be due to the fact that the majority of farmers maintained and cultivated one variety at household level (very low varieties richness). In addition, even though pigeonpea plays an important role in food security, especially during lean season, the crop is not considered by farmers as a priority crop and they do not apply any external inputs and its cultivation does not need special skills. Thus, access to knowledge and resources, which are determined by social cultural and economic factors [3], may not have affected pigeonpea varieties richness. The absence of significant ...

The surge in property prices over the last eight years has seen housing leap ahead of pensions, insurance and equities as a proportion of household savings.. A report from the Office for National Statistics shows the value of residential property held by households soared from 1,200bn to 3,200bn between December 1996 and December 2004. Housing accounts for 46 per cent of household assets compared with 34 per cent in 1996. The proportion of insurance and pension policies has fal- len from 30 per cent of household assets to 24 per cent. The proportion of household assets invested as deposits with banks and building societies dipped slightly from 13 per cent to 12 per cent while equities shrank from 11 per cent to 7 per cent.

the symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, many thyroid blood testing tests are readily available, and will most likely be asked for by yourhealthcare skilled, which are necessary for the correct diagnosis of individuals signs and symptoms. They are going to need to take in not only the level of T3 and T4 but also the amount of free T3 & T4 hormones. Only checking levels of T3 and T4 can return a result of no apparent thyroid disorder, just altered levels of the hormones. This gives a better insight into any possible thyroid gland malfunction and takes away the possibility of misdiagnosis.. Another hormone that should be checked for is thyroid stimulating hormone, frequently expressed as TSH. Too much or too little can point towards either an over active or under active thyroid. Then there is the thyroid anti-bodies test. The presence of anti-bodies can suggest that the body is attacking its own thyroid cells. Known as an autoimmune condition, this can lead to Hashimotos disease ...

The present study will be carried out in close collaboration with the National Program for Lady Health Workers, a Ministry of Health program with 100,000 Lady Health Workers covering 60% of the rural population of Pakistan.

Smart meters for measuring electricity consumption are fast becoming prevalent in households. The meters measure consumption on a very fine scale, usually on a 15 min basis, and the data give unprecedented granularity of consumption patterns at household level. A multitude of papers have emerged utilizing smart meter data for deepening our knowledge of consumption patterns. This paper applies a modification of Okolis method for conducting structured literature reviews to generate an overview of research in electricity customer classification using smart meter data. The process assessed 2099 papers before identifying 34 significant papers, and highlights three key points: prominent methods, datasets and application. Three important findings are outlined. First, only a few papers contemplate future applications of the classification, rendering papers relevant only in a classification setting. Second; the encountered classification methods do not consider correlation or time series analysis when

Water How is water supplied to the population (standpipe, tanker)? What is the source of the water (river, well, cistern, rain)? Is the source safe to drink and likely to remain so? Can the source provide sufficient water immediately? Will the source provide sufficient water in all seasons? Is the source adequate in all seasons? How close is the supply to the refugees shelters? What is the current consumption of water and is it adequate for all purposes? Is there evidence of a severe water-related disease problem (skin disease, typhoid, diarrhoea)? Is there any danger of the source being contaminated from latrines, livestock or (in the case of rivers) other camps and settlements upstream? Is there any danger of contamination to settlements downstream? Is the water tested regularly? Is it tested at source, during distribution, or at household level? Is there any system of water treatment? Is the method of treatment sustainable? If a pump is used, how is it serviced and what contingency plans are ...

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate whether family characteristics and stressful life events were associated with onset of autoimmune type 1 diabetes in young adults.. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This investigation was based on a nationwide study (Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden) of newly diagnosed patients aged 15-34 years. Patients clinically classified as type 1 diabetic with antibodies to islet cells and/or to GAD65 were compared with age- and sex-matched control subjects via questionnaire. The questionnaire covered diabetes heredity, social environment, educational level, and life events experienced during the 12 months before diagnosis.. RESULTS: The rate of response was 82% for the diabetic patients and 65% for the control subjects. Questionnaires from 349 diabetic patients and 979 control subjects were considered. Diabetes in relatives was more frequent in the patients (odds ratio [OR]2.6) who were born in Sweden and whose mothers were of Swedish origin. No major stress factors were detected in ...

Abstract. Little is known about the impact of indoor residual spraying (IRS) in areas with intense malaria transmission such as sub-Saharan Africa. In Malawi, IRS with lambda-cyhalothrin has been applied annually in an area of intense year-long transmission since 2007. We evaluated the impact of IRS on parasitemia and anemia prevalence in children less than five years of age by using a cross-sectional household survey conducted in 2009, six months after the second IRS spray round. We measured malaria parasitemia and anemia (hemoglobin level < 11 g/dL) in 899 children less than five years of age and used binomial regression to assess the impact of IRS by comparing children living in a household sprayed with IRS (direct IRS) with those in a household not sprayed with IRS, but in an IRS area (indirect IRS) and those living in a household not sprayed with IRS and not in an IRS area (no IRS). In the IRS area, 77% of households reported receiving IRS. Adjusting for bed net use, house construction, and ...

Data on household wealth in Great Britain by ethnic group. Includes total, property, financial, physical and private pension wealth by age, region, household composition and housing tenure.

Adequate nutrition constitutes one of the most basic dimensions of human well-being. Ample evidence exists for the functional link between a diverse diet and health outcomes or economic performance. However, a concise measure to capture nutritional diversity that utilizes typical household-level data, often the only data available in developing countries, is yet to be developed. In this paper, I propose a theoretical framework for such a measure by extending the Alkire-Foster (AF) methodology. The new framework enables the calculation of both the incidence and intensity of nutritional deprivation. Applying this framework, I construct a Nutritional Deprivation Index (NDI) for Indian states using household survey data on food consumption. The NDI is unique, and, compared to existing measures, it is more effective in both identifying the inadequately nourished and revealing the extent of food deprivation.. Citation: Oldiges, C. (2017). Measuring malnutrition and dietary diversity: Theory and ...

Each year a portion of American households are food insecure-they struggle to afford enough food for all household members. Very low food security, the severe range of food insecurity, affected 5 percent of U.S. households in 2015. Members of households with very low food security reported cutting back on or skipping meals, and in some cases, going a whole day without eating. The prevalence of very low food security varies considerably across household characteristics. Single mother and single father households, women and men living alone, Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic headed households, households with incomes near or below poverty, and households in nonmetropolitan counties have rates of very low food security significantly above the national average. Rates were highest for households with incomes below the Federal poverty line-about 17 percent were very low food secure in 2015. This chart is drawn from a chart that appears in the ERS infographic, What Is Very Low Food Security and Who ...

The data accompanying this article include the compressed, Extensible Markup Language (XML) files of the synthetic populations for the nine areas of importance in South Africa. The provided populations are controlled at the household level using (household) income, and at individual levels using gender and population group. The result provides a complete stock of individuals while accounting for detailed demographic, socioeconomic information, and household structure. The detailed XML Schema Definition (XSD) and XML Document Type Definition (DTD), which contains the declarations that describes the formal acceptable structure of the XML file, is available on http://www.matsim.org/files/dtd/. More specifically, there is one XSD definition for the household file, households_v1.0.xsd, and one DTD file for the individuals, population_v6.dtd. The files are normal XML and readable using many parsers. Our choice to use the Multi-Agent Transport Simulation (MATSim) infrastructure is because the populations are,

In many countries the residential sector contributes significantly to peak demand. Some of the promising approaches to reduce these peaks, such as energy efficiency and demand-side management (DSM) programmes, currently lack the sophistication to target households with particular characteristics or that make the most contribution to peaks. We present an analytical approach time-segmented regression analysis (TSRA) that is able to determine the household factors that dominate at different time-slots across the day and therefore, categorize houses by their daily usage profiles and identify houses with high demand during network peaks based on common household characteristics. The method is applied to an example dataset from New Zealand. From a range of possible factors, it identifies the presence or absence of electrical hot water and electric heating appliances as the dominant factors determining daily electricity variation. The initial findings suggest that DSM programmes in New Zealand should ...

HIV response rates for females were considerably higher than for males in all countries. The lower response rates for males mainly reflect more frequent absence of men from the households. In 12 of the 14 countries, the HIV non-response rate because of absence was two to four times greater for males than for females. Non-response rates were higher among urban, more-educated and wealthier respondents. These patterns of non-response are typical of most household surveys in developing countries. However, there were no clear patterns in non-response rates by various risk and protective factors. Chronically ill adults were equally or more likely to participate in the surveys, suggesting that differential participation of chronically ill adults is unlikely to be a major source of bias.. The non-responder males and females tend to have higher predicted HIV prevalence than those tested. In eight of the 14 countries for males and in seven of the 14 countries for females, non-responders have significantly ...
