The Plumber as a Health Expert 1926

tary Engineering Association, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to be here this afternoon among the engineers and the plumbers, for the reason that I personally feel the plumber was the original health officer and that the foundations of preventative medicine and public health were founded upon the activities of the engineer and the plumber in the very beginning. So that basically the things...

The Polish Plumber in the West Midlands: Theoretical and Empirical Issues

The influx of Polish workers into the UK requires a renewal of migration theories and presents important empirical puzzles. Both problems stem from the specificity of this migration wave, which does not correspond to classical models. The inadequacy of classical migration theories is demonstrated by the inaccuracy of forecasts from before 2004. The ‘optimistic’ forecasts (e.g. Boeri and Brücker...

Is this reaction caused by this drug?

The case report on cotrimoxazole-induced pancreatitis by Versleijen et al. deals with the assessment of the probability that cotrimoxazole induced the acute pancreatitis: a causality assessment. In this editorial, we comment on this assessment from a clinical, pharmacological and epidemiological perspective. Moreover, the consequences of the results of the assessment are discussed.

1. The network topology is characterized in the language of graph theory (e.g. tree, 0-chain, 1-chain) [1] [2]. By this means, the set of steady-state fluxes can be parameterized explicitly. 2. A particular steady-state solution is selected. This steady-state solution is used to generate a nominal, stationary routing algorithm for the stochastic flow problem. 3. However, to ensure the network o...
