Costing Analysis

The Southeast Asia Region continues to battle tuberculosis (TB) as one of its most severe health and development challenges. Unless there is a substantial increase in investments for TB prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment, there will be catastrophic effects for the region. The uncontrolled TB burden impacts socioeconomic development and increase of drug resistance in the region. Based on epidemiological inputs from a mathematical model, a costing analysis estimates that the desired targets of ending TB are achievable with additional interventions, and critical thresholds require an increase in spending by almost double the current levels. The data source for financial allocation to TB programmes is the report submitted by countries to WHO, while projections are based on modelling. The model accounts for funding needs for all strategies based on published data and accounts for programme and patient costs. This paper delineates the resource needs, availability and gaps of ending TB in the region. It is estimated that close to US$2 billion per year are needed in the region for TB-related activities for a meaningful bending of the incidence curve towards ending TB.

Abstract Introduction Our previous studies have highlighted sleep disparities for this underserved population, including how Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (GRG) experience troubled and disruptive sleep. Intersectional types of discrimination facing these families during COVID 19, include: race/ethnicity of self and children, income, age, essential workforce status, and impairments (mobility, vision, and hearing). This current study intends to explore how healthy sleep is an important resource (potential buffer) for GRG experiencing intersectional discrimination during COVID 19. Methods We used community partnerships to recruit 600 GRG from all fifty states in USA and several tribes to complete an online survey on their experiences with caregiving and intersectional discrimination during COVID 19. We developed an index on intersectional discrimination based on GRG lived experiences to inform the survey and used descriptive and bivariate statistics to profile this group. Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) analysis was used to build a predictive model to help determine how variables in our study best merge to explain intersectional discrimination. Results Of the GRGs’, 37% were between 54–65 years and 33% cared for children 6 to 10 years for at least 5 years. The types of discrimination that were more likely to be included in intersectional discrimination include: Black or African American [83.8% (31)], my child’s race [59.5% (22)], my lower economic status [56.8% (21)], and my status as a caregiver [56.8% (21)]. The resource needs that showed the most disparity (higher rate showed higher priority/extreme concern) between those with ID and those without included: Information on how COVID impacts race and ethnicity differently (6.0 vs. 3.61), ability to pay utilities (3.7 vs. 1.99), and information on how to achieve healthy sleep (4.19 vs. 2.64). Conclusion This study suggests that GRG facing intersectional discrimination identify the importance of attaining information on how to achieve healthy sleep as an important resource to them during COVID 19. These results can be used to help mobilize resources and disseminate information for this underserved group to improve healthy sleep and also model for their extended families and communities. Support (if any) This study was conducted by the Grandfamilies Outcome Workgroup, (GrOW), with support from Generations United and Collaborative Solutions.

Alternative Methodology

A recent content analysis of newspaper editorials and letters to the editor disputes the conventional wisdom that newspapers become less vigorous editorially as they acquire the characteristics of the corporate form of organization. However, many scholars remain skeptical. This study tested the editorial vigor hypothesis using an alternative methodology: a national probability survey of mainstream news sources (mayors and police chiefs). The data provide partial support for the corporate structure theory - the more structurally complex the newspaper, the more news sources perceived that paper as being critical of them and their institutions. Drawing on previous research and these findings, the author argues corporate newspapers are more critical because they are more likely to be located in pluralistic communities, which contain more social conflict and criticism of dominant groups and value systems, and because they are more insulated from local political pressures. From a broader perspective, the results may be interpreted as supporting theories which hold that the pace of social change quickens as social systems become more structurally pluralistic.

The 1981 Police Stress Survey of Spielberger, Westbury, Grier, and Greenfield was administered to 99 metropolitan and suburban police officers. Internal consistency reliabilities were in the .90s for both the total scale and two subscales which measure administrative/organizational and physical/psychological stressors. The administrative/organizational, but not the physical/psychological, subscale was significantly related to measures of job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Satisfaction With Services

The university community is not a static environment but, rather, one fraught with change and adjustment to change. How do academic libraries within a university setting effectively address the evolving service and resource needs of a diverse patron community? One method that has received increasing attention is the development and implementation of internal instruments specifically designed to assess user satisfaction with services and resources. This study assesses undergraduate resource and service needs, identifies librarywide unmet needs, and gives both library user and librarian an opportunity to engage in proactive dialogue.

Financial Allocation

- The recent European Commission's implementing regulation for the Structural and Cohesion Funds 2007-2013 establishes criteria for defining the Regions eligible for funding from the Structural Funds. Moreover it identifies the objectives to be reached during the programming period. The general objectives of the Structural policies consist in speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through higher quality investments in physical and human capital, innovation, environment and administrative efficiency. However, the indicators used to identify regions for funding mainly refer to GDP and population. Methods and Results The analysis uses a simulation model based on Regions of Member States financial allocation model. The results show that using indicators more coherent with the European Commission objectives would lead to a different funds allocation. Conclusions This paper tries to highlight the inconsistency of this process and, through the identification and use of alternative indicators, proposes some simulations in order to present a different and more coherent scenario of financial allocation of Structural Funds.
