Estimating Space Needs for Media Services

Estimating resource needs for HIV/AIDS health care services in low-income and middle-income countries.

As funding mechanisms like the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria increasingly make funding decisions on the basis of burden of disease estimates and financial need calculations, the importance of reliable and comparable estimating methods is growing. This paper presents a model for estimating HIV/AIDS health care resource needs in low- and middle-income countries. The model pre...

Decentralisation, Decision Space and Directions for Future Research; Comment on “Decentralisation of Health Services in Fiji: A Decision Space Analysis”

Decentralisation continues to re-appear in health system reform across the world. Evaluation of these reforms reveals how research on decentralisation continues to evolve. In this paper, we examine the theoretical foundations and empirical references which underpin current approaches to studying decentralisation in health systems.

Estimating Oil Products Demand by State-space Model and Relevant Guidelines for Price Liberalization

The purpose of this paper is to estimate oil products demand by the state-space model, taking into account the implications for price liberalization using the Kalman filter technique in the framework of a time-varying pattern. For this purpose, we use the data of the Energy Balance Sheet and the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company during the period of 1994-2017. Our model res...

Godard : A Flexible Architecture for Audio / Video Services in a Media Space

" It wasn't very civil of you to offer it, " said Alice, angrily. " It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited, " said the March Hare. 1 Abstract Research into the use of audio-video technologies for collaboration frequently raises issues of privacy and control for the users of these systems. Common problems are those of protecting individual privacy and providing mechanisms ...
