The increasingly complex health needs of the population and individual patients in a changing society can only be met by promoting interprofessional collaboration (IpC) within primary care teams. The aim of this Position Paper of the European Forum for Primary Care (EFPC) is to analyse how to improve IpC within primary care teams. Clarificatio...

Internationally, there is a drive for equality in health care for ethnic groups. To achieve equality, produce sound policies, and provide appropriately targeted services good quality data are essential.

Although the literature on university-industry links has begun to uncover the reasons for, and types of, collaboration between universities and businesses, it offers little explanation of ways to reduce the barriers in these collaborations. This paper seeks to unpack the nature of the obstacles to collaborations between universities and industry, exploring influence of different mechanisms in l...

AbstrAct Recommendation systems can play an extensive role in online learning. In such systems, learners can receive guidance in locating and ranking references, knowledge bits, test items, and so forth. In recom-mender systems, users' ratings can be applied toward items, users, other users' ratings, and, if allowed, raters of raters of items recursively. In this chapter, we describe an online ...

On the one hand, a close location of actors affiliated to the same industry may stimulate innovation (MAR externalities). On the other hand, new ideas may be born by the exchange of heterogeneous and complementary knowledge between actors, which bel...

BACKGROUND We describe a system of web applications designed to streamline the interdisciplinary collaboration in outcomes research. DESCRIPTION The outcomes research process can be described as a set of three interrelated phases: design and selection of data sources, analysis, and output. Each of these phases has inherent challenges that can be addressed by a group of five web applications d...

In this paper we study the effects of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution in consumption (IES) on Balanced Growth Path fertility choice in a dynastic model. We find that both the qualitative and quantitative properties of the model are highly sensitive to this key parameter. We give analytic comparative statics results that show why this is true. In versions of the model in which the I...
