A life course approach: research orientations and future challenges

A life course approach to chronic disease epidemiology: conceptual models, empirical challenges and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Over the last few years there has been increasing interest in conceptualizing disease aetiology within a life course framework., This approach is not new to Public Health or unique to epidemiology (see below). However, its current resonance and interest within epidemiology reflects the challenging theoretical framework this approach provides. This issue of the International Journal of Epidemiol...

Security Automation Research : Challenges and Future Directions

http://iac.dtic.mil/iatac Configuration complexity imposes a heavy burden on both regular users and experienced administrators. This complexity dramatically reduces overall network assurability. For example, a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies states that “inappropriate or incorrect security configurations were responsible for 80 percent of United States Air Force v...

A life-course approach to fertility

BACKGROUND The life-course approach as a methodological framework for the empirical analysis of longitudinal individual-level data has fundamentally changed the agenda of demographic research. However, these methodological innovations have not been paralleled by a similarly successful theoretical integration in the life-course field. OBJECTIVE We aim to show that the life course is an indispens...
