Birth in Those Days

description: As the rickshaw sputters along the dusty path, I brace myself against the cool metal side panel, stretching forward to get a better view of the vibrant green fields that surround us. My journey to Tirukarai, a remote village in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, has lasted nearly an hour now, but the scenery has remained largely unchanged. The narrow road meanders through paddy fields that stretch to the horizon. Swathed in this endless sea of green, clichéd notions of a timeless rural India seem rather convincing. Despite appearances, however, much has changed in these fields over the last few decades. I originally traveled to Tamil Nadu to conduct ethnographic research on rural women’s experiences of pregnancy and birth. In nearly all of my interviews, women expressed a conviction that childbirth today has become more dangerous than ever before. Specifically, women suggested that a decline in the variety of foods available to poor women in Tamil Nadu and the increased use of agrochemicals in the region has rendered their bodies weaker and unable to give birth safely. Though my initial interest had been in childbirth, I found myself focusing increasingly on the women’s perceptions of recent dietary shifts and the consequences these changes were having on their health. My conversations with these women convinced me that their condemnation of their modern diet and its implications on their health was not simply a reflection of their collective, self-embodied knowledge. It also expressed a profound and critical understanding of the negative impact that agricultural policies promoted by the Indian state and powerful international forces have had on their lives. Though the majority of women I spoke with had little schooling and had rarely, if ever, heard the term globalization, I argue that their narratives demonstrate a nuanced understanding of the deleterious effects the process has on their lives. While statistics contradict women’s assertions that birth is more dangerous today than in the past, the physiological effects of dietary change that these women describe are very real and merit further consideration.

Understanding Family Planning in San Ignacio, Belize

description: This study focuses on women’s decisions and experiences related to family planning in San Ignacio, Belize. The authors sought to identify family planning resources available in San Ignacio, as well as barriers to accessing these resources. Furthermore, this study explored how local barriers affected the use of contraception in San Ignacio. The first author traveled to San Ignacio and carried out four semi-structured interviews and one focus group with local women. She also conducted nine semi-structured interviews with community leaders. Women discussed their own knowledge and use of contraceptive methods, barriers to contraceptive use, the value of planned pregnancies and their pregnancy experiences. Community leaders reported that contraceptive methods were available but also admitted to the existence of perceived barriers to contraceptive use. Women stated that planned pregnancies were desirable, but often unachievable because of religious beliefs, cultural norms, the opposition of family members, lack of knowledge of contraceptive methods and male partners seeking control over women. Community leaders reported that men are often unsupportive of contraceptive use and that religious groups often seek to discourage contraceptive use. Both women and community leaders stated that in San Ignacio, women are expected to have families and that local religious groups discourage the use of contraception. Use of contraceptives among women in San Ignacio is thus not solely determined by the availability of contraceptives. Organizations that aim to promote family planning must implement multilevel initiatives that address the needs, desires and perspectives of community members, promote healthy relationships and challenge gender inequitable social norms.

description: We investigate possibilities of generalizing the TBEM eigenvalue matrix model, which represents the non-normalized colored HOMFLY polynomials for torus knots as averages of the corresponding characters. We look for a model of the same type, which is a usual Chern-Simons mixture of the Gaussian potential, typical for Hermitean models, and the sine Vandermonde factors, typical for the unitary ones. We mostly concentrate on the family of twist knots, which contains a single torus knot, the trefoil. It turns out that for the trefoil the TBEM measure is provided by an action of Laplace exponential on the Jones polynomial. This procedure can be applied to arbitrary knots and provides a TBEM-like integral representation for the N=2 case. However, beyond the torus family, both the measure and its lifting to larger N contain non-trivial corrections in \hbar=\log q. A possibility could be to absorb these corrections into a deformation of the Laplace evolution by higher Casimir and/or cut-and-join operators, in the spirit of Hurwitz tau-function approach to knot theory, but this remains a subject for future investigation.

Female Genital Cutting
Creators: name: Fong, Cynthia
Publisher: name: The Journal of Global Health at Columbia University
Year: 2013

description: In its most extreme form, female genital cutting (FGC) removes a woman’s clitoris and severely narrows the vaginal opening to the size of a dime. However, in its most minor form, a woman’s clitoris is scratched or minimally excised resulting in little permanent damage. Between 100 and 140 million women have undergone some form of FGC worldwide and this number is expected to increase by a projected number of two million every year.1 Doctors, lobbyists, journalists, NGOs and other interest groups in their discussion of FGC demand complete eradication of the practice due to its observable short-term and long-term health implications. Often, demands for complete eradication are coupled with the criticism of FGC as a practice which oppresses women. Internationally, any compromise, including harm-reduction policies, is condemned by the media and by western audiences. The most prominent of such policies is institutionalization in hospitals and medicalization, the education of doctors about FGC.

description: In \cite{SCH1} Schuster proved that $mod$ 2 Morava $K$-theory $K(s)^*(BG)$ is evenly generated for all groups $G$ of order 32. There exist 51 non-isomorphic groups of order 32. In \cite{H}, these groups are numbered by $1, \cdots ,51$. For the groups $G_{38},\cdots, G_{41}$, that fit in the title, the explicit ring structure is determined in \cite{BJ}. In particular, $K(s)^*(BG)$ is the quotient of a polynomial ring in 6 variables over $K(s)^*(pt)$ by an ideal generated by explicit polynomials. In this article we present some calculations using the same arguments in combination with a theorem of \cite{B0} on good groups in the sense of Hopkins-Kuhn-Ravenel. In particular, we consider the groups $G_{36},G_{37}$, each isomorphic to a semidirect product $(C_4\times C_2\times C_2)\rtimes C_2$, the group $G_{34}\cong (C_4\times C_4)\rtimes C_2$ and its non-split version $G_{35}$. For these groups the action of $C_2$ is diagonal, i.e., simpler than for the groups $G_{38},\cdots, G_{41}$, however the rings $K(s)^*(BG)$ have the same complexity.

The Argument for Global Tobacco Control

Publisher: name: The Journal of Global Health at Columbia University
Year: 2013

description: The prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCD) have been largely neglected, although these conditions have become the primary cause of global mortality. In fact, NCDs accounted for approximately 63% of worldwide deaths in 2008.2 Currently, NCD mortality exceeds the cumulative mortality attributed to communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional disorders in every region but Africa.3 A leading risk factor for NCDs is tobacco usage. Tobacco consumption causes five to six million deaths annually.3 Approximately 71% of lung cancer deaths, 42% of chronic respiratory disease cases and 10% of cardiovascular disease cases are attributed to smoking.3 Projections of current trends predict that by 2030, this number will reach nearly 10 million and up to 70% of smoking-related deaths will occur in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).4 By 2050, smoking will have caused an estimated total of 450 million deaths.4 Although these statistics are certainly alarming, they have not garnered adequate attention from international donors. In fact, in 2007, only 3% of all development assistance for health targeted NCDs.5

description: Laut Bundesamt für Statistik lag im Jahr 2011 die Wiederverurteilung von Erwachsenen nach einer Entlassung bei 43,8 %.

Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, erste wissenschaftliche Argumentationen für die ergotherapeutische Arbeit mit Personen während und nach einem Gefängnisaufenthalt darzustellen. Mit Hilfe der Enablement Skills des Canadian Model of Client-Centred Enablement (CMCE) sollen ergotherapeutische Interventionsansätze, die eine erfolgreiche Resozialisierung unterstützen, aufgezeigt werden.

Mittels einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden 5 Studien inkludiert, welche Interventionsansätze für die Arbeit mit Menschen während und nach einem Gefängnisaufenthalt aufzeigen. Die Studien wurden anhand des Arbeitsinstruments für ein Critical Appraisal eines Forschungsartikels (AICA) zusammengefasst und kritisch gewürdigt. Die inkludierten Studien wurden von den Verfasserinnen der vorliegenden Arbeit unabhängig voneinander den Enablement Skills des CMCE zugeordnet.

Die Betätigungsmöglichkeiten von Menschen im Gefängnis sind eingeschränkt. Es werden wirkungsvolle Interventionen und Programme zur Senkung der Rückfallquote aufgezeigt und veranschaulicht, wo und wie Professionsangehörige der Ergotherapie ihre Kompetenzen einsetzen können.

Ergotherapeutinnen und Ergotherapeuten können einen wichtigen Beitrag für die Klienten und Klientinnen und die Gesellschaft leisten, indem sie Personen während und nach einem Gefängnisaufenthalt bei der erfolgreichen Wiedereingliederung unterstützen.
The Burden of Hepatitis C in the Injection Drug User Population
Creators: name: Chen, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The Journal of Global Health at Columbia University
Year: 2013

description: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is estimated to affect about 130 million people worldwide, but determining the actual incidence of HCV infection is complicated by the asymptomatic nature of the disease. Asymptomatic individuals do not physically manifest the disease but still have the potential to transmit the disease to others, and chronically infected persons face the risk of developing advanced liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.1 As HCV is most efficiently transmitted through large or repeated percutaneous exposures to blood, transfusions represented the main method of transmission before the virus was identified in 1989 and improved screening techniques were implemented in 1990.1,2 Transfusion-associated transmission of HCV has essentially been eliminated in most of the developed world, due to risk reduction measures such as screening blood donations and potential donors.3 Transmission via injection drug use is now the predominant mode of transmission in these countries, accounting for 60-75% of infections.2

description: We study the iterated quasi-reversibility method to regularize ill-posed elliptic and parabolic problems: data completion problems for Poisson's and heat equations. We define an abstract setting to treat both equations at once. We demonstrate the convergence of the regularized solution to the exact one, and propose a strategy to deal with noise on the data. We present numerical experiments for both problems: a two-dimensional corrosion detection problem and the one-dimensional heat equation with lateral data. In both cases, the method prove to be efficient even with highly corrupted data.

Milk in Egypt

Publisher: name: The Journal of Global Health at Columbia University
Year: 2013

description: Affectionately dubbed at times as “the fluid of life,” milk has played a vital role in the development of mankind and in the shaping of contemporary culture. From the cheeses of the Swiss or the French to the yak milk of the Asian steppes, milk has irrevocably incorporated itself in most cultures through myth, superstition (spilt milk was thought to signify good luck in some parts of Europe and bad luck in others), habits and traditions. Rich in protein, fat, lactose, and beneficial bacteria and enzymes, milk provides nutrition to children and adults alike, both in liquid form and in preserved forms such as cheese and yogurt. Our ancestors’ inability to preserve milk was the driving force behind the creation of cheese and yogurt, but, due to the dawn of the industrial age and recent advancements in biotechnology—notably the discovery of pasteurization and preservatives—milk can be stored for longer durations in liquid form while remaining safe for consumption. Furthermore, as these modern processes prolong the shelf life of milk, it has been more distributed to geographically distant markets. Modern processes have also effectively removed potentially dangerous pathogens (including, but not limited to, bovine tuberculosis and Chlostridia). Milk producers quickly embraced these processes, and consuming raw, unprocessed milk became an increasingly uncommon occurrence in many developed countries. Today, however, the number of consumers of raw milk in developed countries is rising as more people embrace the “organic” way of life and refuse to consume processed or preserved foods. More and more people visit dairy farms to buy fresh, unprocessed milk. At the same time, governments are making efforts to ensure the safety of dubious products, such as raw milk, for consumption. Meanwhile, the issue of raw milk consumption is becoming increasingly heated, especially in Egypt, where its consumption and risks are common.

description: Genus Silphitrombium Fain, 1992
Type species: Silphitrombium furculigerum Fain, 1992
Diagnosis (larva). Neothrombiids with eyes 2 + 2, located posterolateral to scutum on platelets; two dorsal scuta, punctate and/or striated; anterior scutum with 4 pairs of setae, including one pair of sensilla (S), nude or barbed AM setae and bifid AL and PL setae; S posterior to PL; posterior scutum with one pair of bifid setae, longer than wide. Legs with 6 segments; tarsi with two claws and claw-like empodium. Coxal setal formula: Cx I: 3–6, Cx II: 3–5 and Cx III: 2–3; all coxal setae bifid except lateral seta on coxa II which is barbed; coxal plates I–II contiguous. Urstigma oval and attached to coxae I. Hypostomal setae bifid and adoral setae nude or barbed. Palpalfemur with one seta; fnFe = 6-4-4; fnTi = 6-5-5.
Remarks. Fain (1992) presented a wide definition of Silphitrombium based on only a single species. We present a restricted definition of the genus and consider variations among three species here. Our study on two new species showed that the number of normal setae on the dorsal and ventral idiosoma and the number of setae on legs (Cx I–III, Ta I and Ta II) and shape of scutum differs among species whereas Fain (1992) considered them as constant characters. The main characters e.g. bifid AL and PL setae and bifid setae (c1) on posterior scutum (scutellum) are constant in the three species.

Rethinking Mental Health
Creators: name: Xu, Kevin

Year: 2012

description: It is not uncommon for a new field of study like global health to find itself caught between two distinct habits of mind that shape the development of disciplines. As noted by geophysicist-turned-ethnographer Franz Boas, one is the tendency of the human mind to “put confused impressions into order” and to rationalize perceptual experience with explanatory principles. The other habit is a sentient one, one less interested in reducing nature to the abstractions of the intellect and more interested in finding beauty, wonder and emotional satisfaction in the nuances of perceptual experience.

Bridging the Gap

description: The ‘Friendship Bridge’ between Khorog (Gorno-Badakshan, Tajikistan) and the village of Shugnan (Afghan Badakshan, Afghanistan) stands over the clear rushing water of the Pyanj River, tucked between the snow-capped mountains at the heart of Central Asia. Since its opening in 2004, the bridge has helped foster plurality and enabled exchange and understanding by opening up local markets and stimulating regional trade. However, it has also served as a medium for the exchange of illicit goods, including narcotics and arms. More specifically, opium drugs are supplied readily from Afghanistan in the form of processed heroin, a derivative of opioid, and sold across the bridge in Tajikistan. This consequence is evidenced by the fact that the number of injected opioid drug users (IDUs) in Central Asia has increased exponentially over the past decade, making opioid overdose a substantial hurdle to an improved standard of living. In 2009, it was estimated that in Tajikistan alone the number of IDUs neared 25,000 in a population of approximately 7.4 million. Having lived in Tajikistan for six years, I was drawn to get involved with Columbia University’s Global Health Research Center of Central Asia and was assigned to a team of five different non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the field to create a database that would help us better understand drug use in the region. Our findings shed light on the complicated web that intertwines drug use and mental health issues, the latter being particularly taboo in the region.

On the Path to Mental Health in the Andes

Publisher: name: The Journal of Global Health at Columbia University
Year: 2012

description: I arrived in Ayacucho, Peru on a Monday morning in January 2012 shortly after completing a three-week general medicine elective in a small clinic in southern Ecuador. I was set to begin a six-week psychiatry elective, observing and participating in patient encounters in mental health clinics and hospitals in both the Andean city of Ayacucho and Lima, Peru’s capital. Providing supervised medical care to patients in Ecuador had exposed me to some of the health issues commonly faced by a rural Andean population of farmers or campesinos, as well as the challenges of working in low-resource settings. Patients largely reported ailments related to a lifetime of hard physical labor, such as back and joint pain, and were also treated for a range of common medical conditions, including hypertension and acid reflux. Occasionally, my supervising doctor commented that he suspected some patients’ physical symptoms reflected elements of “somatization,” the embodiment of mental distress. Having studied medical anthropology prior to medical school, I was familiar with this phenomenon and other “local idioms of distress,” or the “particular ways in which members of sociocultural groups convey affliction.”1 However, in this busy medical clinic, there was rarely time to meaningfully explore the etiologies of such complaints with patients. Deeply interested in further exploring how health and experience are shaped by complex interactions between social, cultural, political and economic factors, I sensed the unique nature of the opportunity to work in Ayacucho, a city that simultaneously epitomizes the beauty of the Andes and embodies the region’s darker history of political violence and economic oppression. Strongly considering a career in global mental health, I was curious to learn about the models of mental health care being employed in the clinics and hospitals I would encounter and the ways they were addressing the astonishing treatment gap that characterizes this field. Currently, more than three-quarters of individuals with serious cases of mental illness in less developed countries do not receive adequate treatment.2 The great challenge for the field of global mental health is to address this “moral failure of humanity” in contextually appropriate ways that promote human rights and avoid detrimentally imposing Western systems of diagnosis and treatment.3

description: Compared to the rapidly developing commercial offices, office workplaces in universities and hospitals have changed only slightly. However, demands for new office workplaces in universities and hospitals are growing due to changed work processes and communication, changed organizational structures, new technologies, increased cost pressure, and the requirements of a modern knowledge society.
This working paper reviews drivers and barriers of new ways of working in universities’ and hospitals’ office workplaces. To identify the latest drivers and barriers, this working paper reviews not only academic papers but also industry reports. This literature review determines six drivers of new academic workplaces: New way of working; new methods of teaching and communicating with students; cost pressure and need for space management; generation shift; internationalization; sustainable development and carbon reduction commitments. The literature review also addresses functional, cultural, hierarchical, and emotional reasons for resistance to introducing new academic workplaces. Next, this literature review identifies four drivers of new hospital office workplaces: Shortage of healthcare workforce; development of technologies; constant pressure and need for space management; need for diverse work settings. Besides, the literature review addresses barriers of new office workplaces in hospitals: change-reluctant organizational culture; clear hierarchical organizational structure; rapid change in IT; high perceived risk of first-time application of new office concept; cultural change; and financial restrictions. These findings suggested that Activity-Based Working (ABW) can be appropriate for office workplaces in universities and hospitals since ABW is acknowledged by increasing staff interaction; providing quiet places for solo-concentrated work; improving staff health and well-being; reducing space cost, and flexibility to change. Overall, this working paper emphasizes the need for new ways of working in universities’ and hospitals’ office workplaces and showed that barriers and resistance to introducing new office workspace should not be overlooked.

description: Darstellung des Themas: Die Venenpunktion ist eine der am häufigsten durchgeführten Interventionen bei Kindern im Spital und kann ein hohes Level von Angst auslösen. Um die Angst, welche oft mit Schmerz assoziiert ist, zu reduzieren, existieren viele verschiedene Methoden.
Ziel: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, herauszufinden, wie die Angst von Kindern bei Venenpunktionen während einer Hospitalisierung gelindert werden kann. Dazu werden pflegerische Massnahmen zur Reduktion von Angst bei Venenpunktionen aufgezeigt und kritisch beurteilt.
Methode: Zur Beantwortung der Fragestellung wurde in verschiedenen Datenbanken eine systematisierte Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Die ausgewählten Studien wurden anhand spezifischer Kriterien auf ihre Güte und Evidenz geprüft und anschliessend diskutiert.
Ergebnisse: Aus den eingeschlossenen Studien konnten acht verschiedene effektive Interventionen zur Angstreduktion von zwei- bis zwölfjährigen Kindern im Akutspital gefunden werden. Die Effektivität von einzelnen Interventionen zur Angstreduktion bei Kindern ist in der Forschung umstritten.
Schlussfolgerung: Es existieren verschiedene wirksame Interventionen zur Angstreduktion bei Kindern, welche jedoch individuell auf die Kinder abgestimmt werden müssen. Die aktuelle Evidenzlage der Literatur würde von weiterer, qualitativ hochstehender, Forschung profitieren.
Cancer in Nepal

description: The auditorium was bursting with color. Women in vibrant saris and glistening jewelry bustled about, greeting newcomers with a namaste while intermittently catching up with old acquaintances. In juxtaposition to this rich rainbow of color, I was dressed in black pants and a plain white shirt. Mental note to self: next time, spice it up a little. I looked like I was going to a funeral amongst a group of men and women who seemed to be on their way to the biggest party of the year. Yet the occasion was neither festive nor mournful—we were at an obstetrics and gynecology conference in Bharatpur, Nepal. As I sat down to listen to a presentation on cervical cancer, one of the physicians made an interesting observation: young women with cervical cancer are less likely to undergo treatment than older women. This seemed strange. Shouldn’t younger women be more educated and thus more proactive when seeking medical care? Although there is no formal data, it is universally understood that younger, more sexually active women are often abandoned by their husbands at the time of diagnosis based on the assumption that these women will no longer be able to bear children. As a result, these 15- to 40-year-olds do not have the financial and/or psychological support to start or finish treatment, which usually consists of some combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. However, older women in their fifties and above are often brought to places of medical treatment by their children and grandchildren, who not only ensure that treatment is completed but also demand the most aggressive course of treatment. Such barriers to health care represent a significant hurdle in a country where cervical cancer is not only the predominant form of cancer in women but also has the highest age-specific mortality rate.1 When I asked a radiation oncologist what policies were in place to address the social and cultural barriers to treatment, he looked at me, shrugged and said, “This is Nepal.”

On the reachable set for the one-dimensional heat equation

description: The goal of this article is to provide a description of the reachable set of the one-dimensional heat equation, set on the spatial domain x $\in$ (--L, L) with Dirichlet boundary controls acting at both boundaries. Namely, in that case, we shall prove that for any L0 \textgreater{} L any function which can be extended analytically on the square {x + iy, |x| + |y| $\le$ L0} belongs to the reachable set. This result is nearly sharp as one can prove that any function which belongs to the reachable set can be extended analytically on the square {x + iy, |x| + |y| \textless{} L}. Our method is based on a Carleman type estimate and on Cauchy's formula for holomorphic functions.
Medicaid as a Model for Mental Health Service Delivery

description: Medicaid, the publicly funded insurance provider for low-income individuals, is the “single largest payer for mental health services” in the United States. In 2010, Medicaid financed 28% of all mental health services, spending over $31 billion, but accounted for only 17% of total health care outlays; these statistics demonstrate the program’s comparatively significant commitment to funding mental health treatments. Medicaid has expanded rapidly over the past quarter century: in 1986, the program accounted for only 16.1% of mental health service payments, or $7.5 billion. As Medicaid plays an increasingly significant role in financing mental health services, policymakers need to understand its payment mechanisms as well as eligibility requirements, and to address both the efficiencies and inefficiencies in the system. Jointly administered by the state and federal governments, Medicaid consists of numerous programs and incentive schemes aimed at financing mental health treatments. Three of the most prominent programs include home- and community-based services (HCBS), health homes and targeted case management (TCM). An evaluation of these programs indicates that their efficiency, measured by both cost-effectiveness and patient outcomes, varies significantly across states depending on the specific implementation techniques adopted by state officials. This paper analyzes the methods that states employ to provide insurance through Medicaid, examining the factors that have enabled some administrators to see significant declines in costs and increases in quality of care. Specifically, states that prioritize mental health services, provide for early-onset disease intervention and focus on holistic community-based care see the most efficient outcomes in treatment of mental health patients. This paper also aims to assess mental health pilot programs and promote implementation rationales based on clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness criteria. The analysis in this paper offers evidence that, when applied to the framework of mental health management, programs designed to integrate holistic care models offer greater potential than fragmented care systems to offset long-term spending and improve health outcomes.

Stability estimates for Navier-Stokes equations and application to inverse problems

description: In this work, we present some new Carleman inequalities for Stokes and Oseen equations with non-homogeneous boundary conditions. These estimates lead to log type stability inequalities for the problem of recovering the solution of the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations from both boundary and distributed observations. These inequalities fit the well-known unique continuation result of Fabre and Lebeau [18]: the distributed observation only depends on interior measurement of the velocity, and the boundary observation only depends on the trace of the velocity and of the Cauchy stress tensor measurements. Finally, we present two applications for such inequalities. First, we apply these estimates to obtain stability inequalities for the inverse problem of recovering Navier or Robin boundary coefficients from boundary measurements. Next, we use these estimates to deduce the rate of convergence of two reconstruction methods of the Stokes solution from the measurement of Cauchy data: a quasi-reversibility method and a penalized Kohn-Vogelius method.
Multifaceted Adolescent Reproductive Health Education Strategies in Panama

description: Advances in adolescent healthcare have the potential to greatly impact worldwide public health and well-being. Reproductive health education relates directly to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs) 1, 3, 5, 6 and 8, which concern poverty, gender equality, maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS and global partnership, respectively. However, current research comparing education strategies is limited. Research in the area of reproductive health education must take into account cultural factors and societal norms in addition to political pressures and infrastructural constraints. In this paper, three methods of adolescent reproductive education in Panama are compared through the lens of the UN MDGs. This analysis reveals that formal education sector initiatives in public schools, non-governmental organizations’ participation in schools and grassroots advocacy all have distinct strengths and uniquely address various MDGs. These methods, when used in conjunction, can provide a starting point from which to guide the development of an adolescent reproductive health education program in Panama.

The "exterior approach" applied to the inverse obstacle problem for the heat equation

description: In this paper we consider the " exterior approach " to solve the inverse obstacle problem for the heat equation. This iterated approach is based on a quasi-reversibility method to compute the solution from the Cauchy data while a simple level set method is used to characterize the obstacle. We present several mixed formulations of quasi-reversibility that enable us to use some classical conforming finite elements. Among these, an iterated formulation that takes the noisy Cauchy data into account in a weak way is selected to serve in some numerical experiments and show the feasibility of our strategy of identification.
