description: Named the Writer of the Millennium, Shakespeare has come full circle and become a cliché, embraced by marketers and contested by intellectuals. Similar narratives about China's rise in global stature have been told with equal gusto, championed and denounced in turn by optimists and critics. If Shakespeare now has worldwide currency, how is the sense of belonging and betrayal configured chronologically and spatially? The old news—our journalistic familiarity with Shakespeare's provenance in global contexts—calls for careful reconstruction of a historical foundation for theorization. For well over 180 years, East Asian writers, filmmakers, and theater directors have also engaged Shakespeare in their works in a wide range of contexts. The ideas of Shakespeare and China have been put to work in unexpected places. It is my hope that Chinese Shakespeares' localization of the meanings of Shakespeare and China will break down the critical impasse surrounding cross-cultural entanglements, a crucial step toward reinventing the interpretive energy that has been dulled by ideological investments in various conventions of authenticity informed by notions of the original and the derivative. It is important that Chinese Shakespeares as a new interpretive subject be analyzed so as to dislodge what China means and how Shakespeare is customarily interpreted, because multilocation perspectives bring to light the unpredictable and exciting fabric of cultural life that rarely conforms to institutional divisions of knowledge production. This displacement is necessary to keep roads passable and bridges open between different forms of cultural production and knowledge.

description: This chapter, "Owning Chinese Shakespeares," pursues the critical concept of localization and critiques the fidelity-derived discourse about cultural ownership. How were Chinese Shakespeares used as a kind of staged utopia of modernity?

Underlying this study are three related lines of inquiry united by what might be called locality criticism, that is, analyses that focus on shifting localities that cluster around the artists, their works, and their audiences. The case studies in the present volume examine the interplay between the locality where authenticity and intentionality is derived and the locality where differences emerge, as evidenced by the works of intellectuals, theater artists, filmmakers, and writers, such as Lin Shu (Lin Qinnan, 1852–1924), Lu Xun (Zhou Shuren, 1881–1936), Liang Qichao (1873–1929), Lao She (Shu Qingchun, 1899–1966), Huang Zuolin (1906–94), Li Jianwu (1906–1986), Ruan Lingyu (1910–35), Jiao Juyin (1905–75), Yevgeniya K. Lipkovskaya (1902–90), Stan Lai (Lai Shengchuan, b. 1954), and Wu Hsing-kuo (b. 1953). Given the complexity of this cultural history, it is important not to lose sight of the temporally and geographically expansive patterns of cross-cultural engagement.

description: Figures of the World: The Naturalist Novel and Transnational Form overturns Eurocentric genealogies and globalizing generalizations about “world literature” by examining the complex, contradictory history of naturalist fiction. Christopher Laing Hill traces the history of naturalist fiction from its emergence in France in the 1860s through its spread around the world from North and South America to East Asia in the twentieth century. Hill explores the development of three naturalist figures “figures”—the degenerate body, the self-liberated woman, and the social milieu—through close readings of fiction from France, Japan, and the United States. Novels by Émile Zola, Tayama Katai, Frank Norris, and other writers reveal conspicuous departures from metropolitan models as writers revised naturalist methods to confront new social conditions.

MOBILITY AND SAFETY IMPACTS OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Subjects: Civil engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) are revolutionizing the automotive space. We are at the cusp of a, once in a century, transformation in the automotive space. This work strives to understand, analyze and provide insights on the various dimensions this transition is going to impact. We begin with the exploration of the CAV landscape which is in a continuous state of flux. We attempt to examine, analyze and evaluate this space using semi-structured interviews with experts from across the whole country. The interviews are supported additionally by survey questions which further capture the expert views quantitatively. This initial exploratory study leads us to the central questions of this study which include (1) Modeling of SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) vehicles from level 0 to level 5 using a simulation framework (2) Analysis of mobility and safety impacts of SAE vehicles. (3) Building a predictive model of the risk level of autonomous vehicles based on trajectory information.
For the modeling of AVs, the different levels of SAE were mapped to particular functionalities. Each of these functionalities were then modeled using the external driver model (EDM) and were tested on VISSIM to evaluate their performance. The mobility impacts of these models were tested on a highway and an intersection environment. The analysis were conducted for 100% penetration levels for each SAE and also for different penetration levels.
One of the most important benefits of AVs that has been touted by OEMs and DOTs alike, are the safety benefits of CAVs. Among many industries which will be affected by the safety aspects of CAVs, insurance industry is one of them. An immediate challenge that lies in front of them will be to evaluate the risk level of xiii different SAE classes of vehicles. This will be especially true as most of the SAE level data is unavailable or very scarce. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel methodology to identify risky driver behavior for every SAE level. The framework includes the utilization of surrogate safety measures modified for SAE levels. The trajectory data created from SAE level simulation is used as the data set for model training and testing which predicts driving risk. The models evaluated are logistic regression, decision trees and neural networks. This framework provides a foundation for modeling the riskiness of autonomous vehicles in traffic networks.

description: The Eikelboom filamentous bacterial morphotype ‘Haliscomenobacter hydrossis’ is ubiquitous in Japanese and other wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, it is still largely ‘identified’ microscopically on its distinctive morphology, and only one species Haliscomenobacter hydrossis is recognized currently. Thus, little is known about the true level of phylogenetic diversity among members of this morphotype. Here, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon data we reveal that populations of this morphotype belong to several clades. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes were designed against members of each of these morphotypes, together with a new probe more specific than those currently available to target members of the genus Haliscomenobacter. Japanese municipal WWTPs were surveyed to evaluate the abundances of ‘H. hydrossis’ morphotype using FISH analysis with the existing and newly designed FISH probes. Data showed that some ‘H. hydrossis’ morphotypes appeared to show suppressed growth in biological nitrogen removal processes, although process configuration seemed not to be a critical factor in determining their abundances. Their excessive growth appears to cause activated bulking incidents in WWTPs. These data may assist in extending our currently poor understanding of ‘H. hydrossis’ phylogeny and systematics and provide tools to study its global distribution.
title: Representations and responses to surrogacy in the reproduction of the family
Creators: name: Le Vay, Lulu
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: family, surrogacy, queer theory, infertility, motherhood

description: This thesis explores representations and responses to surrogacy on TV and film. It examines how conventional notions of ‘the proper family’ are reproduced. Through textual analysis and audience work, this research explores how conventional ideals of family are constructed, and how female viewers interpret such values. A specific focus is on how narratives are articulated through genre devices, and how particular televisual techniques shape audience perception. 
 
Through textual and empirical methods, this thesis demonstrates how dominant textual narratives are steered by constructing heterosexual infertile characters as non-normative, in need of transformation into genetic mothers through surrogacy, or natural pregnancy enabled by heterosexual love. Same-sex parenting and homosexuality are articulated as more acceptable when positioned within compulsory monogamy. Through the lens of queer theory, conventional notions of family, motherhood and femininity are exposed, as any positions outside of this ideal are portrayed as ’failing to comply’.
 
The research was conducted through three focus groups of women, consisting of mothers and non-mothers. Clips from popular mainstream texts featuring surrogacy storylines across sitcom, soap, reality TV and film were shown. Despite the hetero-norms that drive the narratives in the texts, the audience data revealed desires to see alternative happy endings that show infertile female characters more positively, and which recognise alternative formations of kinship situated outside of heteronormative monogamy and the genetic tie. The research respondents consider alternatives as meaningful, if not more reflective of contemporary structures of family.
 
This research reveals the temporal gap between mainstream texts, which uphold the white, heteronormative, genetically-reproduced family as the ideal, at a time when forms of families are continually diversifying, and when more women are choosing alternative life paths outside of marriage and motherhood.

description: Despite enormous difficulties to induce antibodies neutralizing HIV-1, especially broadly neutralizing antibodies directed against the conserved membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the transmembrane envelope protein, such antibodies can be easily induced in the case of gammaretroviruses, among them the porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs). In addition to neutralizing antibodies directed against the transmembrane envelope protein p15E, neutralizing antibodies were also induced by immunization with the surface envelope protein gp70. PERVs represent a special risk for xenotransplantation using pig tissues or organs since they are integrated in the genome of all pigs and infect human cells and a vaccine may protect from transmission to the recipient. To investigate the effect of simultaneous immunization with both proteins in detail, a study was performed in hamsters. Gp70 and p15E of PERV were produced in E. coli, purified and used for immunization. All animals developed binding antibodies against the antigens used for immunization. Sera from animals immunized with p15E recognized epitopes in the MPER and the fusion peptide proximal region (FPPR) of p15E. One MPER epitope showed a sequence homology to an epitope in the MPER of gp41 of HIV-1 recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies found in HIV infected individuals. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in all sera. Most importantly, sera from animals immunized with gp70 had a higher neutralizing activity when compared with the sera from animals immunized with p15E and sera from animals immunized with gp70 together with p15E had a higher neutralizing activity compared with sera from animals immunized with each antigen alone. These immunization studies are important for the development of vaccines against other retroviruses including the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1.
Slow Fire: Serial Thinking and Hardy's Genres of Induction
Creators: name: Williams, Daniel
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: English literature
subject: Nineteenth century
subject: Logic
subject: Fiction

description: This essay considers the use of “serial thinking”—an approach to representation and cognition that emphasizes repetition, enumeration, and aggregation—in the work of Thomas Hardy. Examining his first novel, Desperate Remedies (1871), it connects Hardy’s approaches to serial thinking with the discourse of Victorian logic (especially the work of John Venn) and links this early sensation novel to Hardy’s later output. Serial representation operates in two modes in Hardy: one material, tactile, and affective (figuring long-run processes of wear, attrition, and change); the other discrete, rational, and numerical (depicting patterns of counting and aggregation). Serial thinking also speaks to the problematic generic identity of Desperate Remedies in Hardy’s oeuvre and to broader difficulties of genre designation through its historical and formal relation to problems in inductive logic. The novel enacts in its figures for class thinking a generic identity that is by turns stable and dynamic. Hardy’s intuitions about serial and class thinking, which draw on nineteenth-century logic’s decision problems and its discourse of “sets” and “classes” and their “members,” can be thus linked to questions of genre writ large. The essay concludes by connecting nineteenth-century images for the bounding and blurring of classes to similar figures in recent studies of genre. Considering the deeper historical relationship between generic thinking and the areas of logic that undergird later approaches to genre—both theoretical accounts and empirical studies, often using digital tools—can show how generic dynamism demands methods of reading that collaborate along different explanatory axes.
SEX- AND AGE-DEPENDENT WESTERN-DIET INDUCED BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER DYSREGULATION AND RELATIONSHIP TO BEHAVIOR, HYPERGLYCEMIA, BODY WEIGHT, AND MICROGLIA
Creators: name: Sahagun, Elizabeth

description: There has been a rapid shift in food environment of Western cultures that has increased consumption of diets high in fat and sugar, which have imparted negative effects on metabolic and neurocognitive health. There is also building evidence that the adverse effects of Western diet (WD) are different in males and females, such that males are impacted more at an earlier age and females are impacted later in life. The underlying biological mechanisms linking WD and neurocognitive health are often associated with energy dysregulation or neuroinflammation. WD disrupts glucose homeostasis and causes low grade inflammation in the body, and these can impact the brain by disrupting the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is the microvasculature found throughout the entire brain that tightly regulates what compounds get into the brain to ensure optimal neuronal function. WD disrupts the BBB, however, the effects of WD on BBB integrity in females and younger individuals remain largely unknown. Based on the metabolic and behavioral effects of WD, we hypothesized that the effects are age- and sex- specific. To test this, we gave male and female rats access to a WD for 8-10 weeks starting in juvenile period (post-natal day 21) or in adulthood (post-natal day 75), then measured body weight, behavior, glucose tolerance, the density of two different markers of BBB integrity. We also measured density of resident immune cells (microglia) to assess the relationship between inflammation and BBB integrity. First, we focused on the impact of hyperglycemia on the BBB since elevated glucose alters glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). We found sex- and age- specific decreases in GLUT1 density in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus—two brain regions commonly associated with neurocognitive impairments associated with WD. Correlational comparisons between WD and chow (CH) animals also found that the typically relationship between glucose tolerance and GLUT1 in the PFC and hippocampus were overall disrupted in WD animals. Second, we measured the leakage of albumin, a blood protein, since WD depletes the tight junctions that would typically prevent albumin from entering the brain and triggering a neuroinflammatory response. We did not find an increase in albumin density in WD animals, however, we found a main effect of age which offers insight to differential susceptibilities to BBB leakage. Third, we focused on inflammation and found that WD did not impact microglia density in our experiments, nor did it correlate with GLUT1, albumin, or behavior. Collectively, our findings support the hypothesis that the impact of WD on the BBB is sex- and age- specific, suggest that WD does not increase leakage of compounds such as albumin, and highlights the nuanced relationships between WD, metabolic disruption, behavioral deficits, and neuroinflammation.

Ketogenic Diet Partially Attenuates Deleterious Effects of Chronic Stress

Subjects: Psychophysiology
Psychopharmacology

description: Ketogenic diets (KDs) are high-fat low-carbohydrate diets that can exert positive effects on physical and neurological health. The more established therapeutic effects of KD are for treating epilepsy and diabetes. However, KD protective effects may apply to other inflammation related disorders associated with Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, such as mood disorders. Chronic stress has been shown to elevate cytokine levels, disrupt neuroendocrine homeostasis, and cause anxiety and depressive-like behavior in animal models. In vitro experiments have shown that ketone bodies, a metabolite produced while on KD, can prevent the production of cytokines elevated in response to chronic stress and other pre-clinical experiments have suggested that ketone bodies can prevent anxiety-like behavior. Although this suggests that KDs have anti-inflammatory and mood stabilizing potential, these effects have yet to be explored. In this experiment, we assessed the behavioral and neuroendocrine effects of KD using male and female Long-Evans rats. Animals underwent three weeks of Chronic Mild Stress (CMS) while on KD or control Chow (CH). Body weight and food intake data were recorded daily, and depressive-like behaviors were assayed after the three weeks. Plasma Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (HB), Corticosterone (CORT) and Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1) were measured after behavior testing, along with hypothalamic Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) and Neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression. CMS induced weight loss and reduced food intake in the control-diet groups, however the KD-fed male and female rats were resistant to CMS-induced weight loss and reduced food take. Female rats fed KD were protected from CMS-induced reductions in plasma CORT and hypothalamic NPY expression. Collectively, these data suggest anti-depressant potential of KDs against chronic stress, particularly in females.

description: This essay reads Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poetry for its “ecological perception”: a perceptual modality involving the dynamic interaction between human bodies and environmental givens or potentialities. Linking Hopkins’s syncretic ideas about perception to the psychologist J. J. Gibson’s account of our sensitivity to environmental “affordances,” the essay assesses three scales of ecological perception in Hopkins (arboreal, atmospheric, apocalyptic) and stresses the particular relevance of the intermediate (atmospheric) scale for our experience of environmental crisis. In “The Blessed Virgin compared to the Air we Breathe,” Hopkins recognizes the “teleconnections” bridging global systems and specific sites without remaining rooted to the local or bioregional (arboreal) or rushing to a vantage beyond planetary confines (apocalyptic).

description: It has been known for decades that wild baboons are naturally infected with Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes the diseases syphilis (subsp. pallidum), yaws (subsp. pertenue), and bejel (subsp. endemicum) in humans. Recently, a form of T. pallidum infection associated with severe genital lesions has been described in wild baboons at Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania. In this study, we investigated ten additional sites in Tanzania and Kenya using a combination of macroscopic observation and serology, in order to determine whether the infection was present in each area. In addition, we obtained genetic sequence data from six polymorphic regions using T. pallidum strains collected from baboons at two different Tanzanian sites. We report that lesions consistent with T. pallidum infection were present at four of the five Tanzanian sites examined, and serology was used to confirm treponemal infection at three of these. By contrast, no signs of treponemal infection were observed at the six Kenyan sites, and serology indicated T. pallidum was present at only one of them. A survey of sexually mature baboons at Lake Manyara National Park in 2006 carried out as part of this study indicated that roughly ten percent displayed T. pallidum-associated lesions severe enough to cause major structural damage to the genitalia. Finally, we found that T. pallidum strains from Lake Manyara National Park and Serengeti National Park were genetically distinct, and a phylogeny suggested that baboon strains may have diverged prior to the clade containing human strains. We conclude that T. pallidum infection associated with genital lesions appears to be common in the wild baboons of the regions studied in Tanzania. Further study is needed to elucidate the infection's transmission mode, its associated morbidity and mortality, and the relationship between baboon and human strains.

description: Reclamation of surface mined lands is required under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. Reforestation of mined lands is challenging due to harsh conditions such as soil compaction, herbaceous competition, and animal browse. We investigated the field performance of black walnut (Juglans nigra), northern red oak (Quercus rubra), and swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor) planted on two mine reclamation sites and evaluated the interactions of nursery stocktypes (container and bareroot), herbicide application, and tree shelters. Survival averaged 80% across all species and stocktypes after two years. Container stocktype had greater relative height and diameter growth, whereas bareroot had greater total height and diameter growth likely due to initial stocktype differences. Shelter use increased height growth and reduced diameter growth across both stocktypes. Swamp white oak (Q. rubra) had high survival and field performance regardless of silvicultural treatment, whereas the two other species showed strong early regeneration responses to silvicultural treatments. Container seedlings showed promise as an alternative to bareroot seedlings to promote survival and early growth on mine reclamation sites. Future research should be on continued development of container stocktypes to provide an economically feasible mine reclamation option for land managers.

description: Currently, the reliable identification of peptides and proteins is only feasible when thoroughly annotated sequence databases are available. While sequencing capacities continue to grow, many organisms remain without reliable, fully annotated reference genomes required for proteomic analyses. Standard database search algorithms fail to identify peptides which are not exactly contained in a protein database. De novo searches are generally hindered by their restricted reliability and current error-tolerant search strategies are limited by global, heuristic tradeoffs between database and spectral information. We propose a Bayesian Information Criterion-driven Error-tolerant Peptide Search (BICEPS) and offer an open-source implementation based on this statistical criterion to automatically balance the information of each single spectrum and the database, while limiting the run time. We show that BICEPS performs as well as current database search algorithms when such algorithms are applied to sequenced organisms while BICEPS only uses a remotely related organism database. For instance, we use a chicken instead of human database corresponding to an evolutionary distance of more than 300 million years (Nature, 2004, 432:695-716). We demonstrate the successful application to cross-species proteomics with a 50% increase in the number of identified proteins for a filarial nematode sample of litomosoides sigmodontis.

description: Background: The genus Flavivirus includes several pathogenic agents that cause severe illness in humans. Re-emergence of West Nile virus in Europe and continuous spread of certain flaviviruses such as dengue, yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis viruses represent a global danger to public health. Therefore, a rapid and accurate molecular method is required for diagnostics and epidemiological surveillance of flaviviruses. Methods: A Pan-Flavi quantitative RT-PCR assay using a Locked-Nucleic Acid probe targeting the flavivirus NS5 gene was developed and optimized to detect a wide range of flaviviruses simultaneously. The specificity and sensitivity of the Pan-Flavi assay were tested using RNA of different flaviviruses and non-flaviviruses. Furthermore, the assay was compared directly to flavivirus species-specific assays for the ability to detect flaviviruses sensitively. Results: Two degenerate primers and one Locked-Nucleic Acids probe were designed to amplify most of the flaviviruses. To increase the specificity and fluorescence signal of the Pan-Flavi assay for detection of yellow fever virus and dengue virus 4, additional primers and probes were included. Viral RNA of thirty different flaviviruses was detected, verifying the broad range specificity. The testing of this assay was successful, using standard plasmid and RNA dilutions of yellow fever virus vaccine strain, dengue virus 1 and tick-borne encephalitis virus, with a sensitivity limit of 10–100 genome copies/reaction. Also comparatively good results were achieved for detecting different flaviviruses by the Pan-Flavi assay when compared to the flavivirus species-specific assays. Conclusion: The assay is rapid, broad-range flavivirus-specific and highly sensitive making it a valuable tool for rapid detection of flaviviruses in livestock samples, epidemiological studies or as useful complement to single flavivirus-specific assays for clinical diagnosis.

description: Noroviruses are an important cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans. We incorporated new insights gained over the past decade in an updated estimate of the disease burden of (foodborne) norovirus illness in The Netherlands in 2009. The disease outcomes – non-consulting cases, visiting a general practitioner, hospitalization and mortality – and the foodborne proportion were derived from cohort studies, surveillance data and literature. Age-specific incidence estimates were applied to the population age distribution in The Netherlands in 2009. The general population incidence was 3800/100 000 (95% CI 2670–5460), including 0·4 fatal cases/100 000, resulting in 1622/100 000 (95% CI 966–2650) disability-adjusted life-years in a population of 16·5 million. The updated burden of norovirus is over twofold higher than previously estimated, due in particular to the new insights in case-fatality ratios. Results suggest that the burden of norovirus institutional outbreaks is relatively small compared to the burden of community-acquired norovirus infections.
Viajes al futuro y sociedad del simulacro: Modernidad, Disneyficación y ruinas de la resistencia en Quinteto de Buenos Aires de Manuel Vázquez Montalban
Creators: name: Nichols, William
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2020

description: A lo largo de la obra de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, tanto en las obras dentro de la serie Carvalho como fuera y en la producción de libros no-ficción, el viaje sirve para como ímpetu narrativo además de eje temático para indagar las contradicciones de la globalización y explorar la memoria como estrategia de resistencia. Por un lado, el viaje ofrece una metáfora que evoca la supuesta disolución de las fronteras dentro del contexto globalizado y el libre movimiento de personas, productos, y capital. Por otro, la mirada crítica del viajero cuestiona la autenticidad de la sociedad globalizada que esconde los escombros del pasado bajo los superficies lisos y brillantes de las ciudades rediseñadas bajo la lógica Disney del simulacro. El viaje está presente en la producción literaria de Vázquez Montalbán desde la primera apariencia de Carvalho en Yo maté a Kennedy hasta los últimos tomos de Milenio I y II. El propósito de este ensayo es analizar la estructura del viaje en Quinteto en Buenos Aires como una investigación que cuestiona capacidad de resistir la globalización, encontrar la autenticidad cultural, y preservar la memoria y el pensamiento crítico. En este ensayo, el autor considerará a Vázquez Montalbán como una voz profética que anunciaba los efectos demoledores para el pensamiento crítico con la creación del “Gran consumidor” que él describía en Panfleto desde el planeta de los simios.

The Politics of Exposure: Truth After Post-Facts

Subjects: subject: Neoliberalism
subject: Foucault, Michel, 1926-1984
subject: Psychoanalysis
subject: Mass media--Study and teaching
subject: Spying
subject: Area studies

description: This essay analyzes contemporary politics of truth across overlapping contexts: the predicament of whistleblowers, the proliferation of digital disinformation, the extractive imperatives of data economies, and the impossibility of exposing the truth when exposé becomes itself a game. The essay reads the recent cultural and political interest in exposure as a signpost for linking a diverse range of cultural and geopolitical phenomena: the rise of neoliberal financialization as well as surveillance capitalism, the biopolitical management of increasingly precarious workers, the displacement of populations. "Exposure" names a rationality, a biopolitical condition, a political strategy, a cultural-epistemic priority, and a collective mood.

description: The purpose of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS) is to repeatedly obtain representative nationwide health data for adults aged 18–79 years living in Germany. The first wave (DEGS1) was carried out by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from November 2008 to December 2011. The study has a mixed design, which permits both cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. It was carried out on an up-to-date sample from the population registration office and on participants from the 1998 German National Health Interview and Examination Survey (GNHIES98), who were invited to take part again. All newly selected individuals, and those GNHIES98 participants living in the same locations as in 1998, were asked to undergo an interview and examination. GNHIES98 participants who had moved to a different location were asked to take part in a survey based on self-completion questionnaires and telephone interviews. This article describes the practicalities of recruiting participants, planning and carrying out fieldwork, managing data, and taking measures to ensure the quality of the process and data.
