Abstract Functional trait and biological integrity approaches in stream ecology enable the determination prediction of aquatic community responses to a variety environmental stressors, such as chemical pollution, habitat disturbance, invasion. Here, we used multi-trait based functional groups (FGs) predict fish assemblages physicochemical ecological health gradients temperate stream. The multi-...

The Indian government has made a commitment to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) [1, 2], as a means to reduce catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditure and ensure affordable access to essential health care for the entire population. As part of the plan to deliver UHC, the government has identified ensuring value for money in the health budget to be a key priority [1, 2]. The central g...

Overall health of a stream is one the powerful indicators for planning mitigation strategies. Currently, available methods to estimate do not look at all different components health. Based on statistical parameters obtained from daily streamflow data, water quality and index biotic integrity (IBI), this study evaluated impacts elements health, such as aquatic species, riparian vegetation, benth...

OBJECTIVES Health Technology Assessment (HTA) needs to address the challenges posed by high cost, effective technologies, expedited regulatory approaches, and the opportunities provided by collaborative real-world evaluation of technologies. The Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi) Policy Forum met to consider these issues and the implications for evidence production to inform HTA....
