title: Availability of Adequately Iodized Salt and Associated Factors in Gambela Town, South West Ethiopia

description: AbstractBackgroundUniversal salt iodization has been extremely effective at reducing the burden of iodine deficiency disorders. Iodized salt coverage of the households in Ethiopia is below the international goal. There was limited study on availability of adequately iodized salt at household level and associated factors in Gambela town.<br>ObjectiveTo assess availability of adequately iodized salt at household level and associated factors in Gambela town, South West Ethiopia, 2019.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Gambela town in April 2019. Data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires from a total of 422 households, which were selected by multi stage sampling method followed by systematic random sampling method. Salt iodine content was estimated using rapid testing kits at the household level. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the prevalence, and association between dependent and independent variables was computed by using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. A p-value of &lt; 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.ResultThis study found that about 52.8% (95% CI: 47, 57%) of households had adequately iodized salt. Havingcollege diploma and above educational status (AOR=7.62, 95% CI: 2.16, 24.38), hearing about iodizedsalt (AOR=2.25, 95% CI: 1.18, 4.28) , perceived susceptibility towards developing IDDs if they do notconsume iodized salt (AOR=2.51, 95% CI: 1.18, 5.35), walking less than 30 minutes to get iodized salt(AOR=3.75, 95% CI: 1.95, 7.24), using packed salt (AOR=12.72, 95% CI: 6.64, 24.36), shorter saltstorage duration (AOR=2.81, 95% CI: 1.44, 5.47) were found to be positively associated with household availability of adequately iodized salt.ConclusionThe availability of iodized salt in Gambela town is below the WHO recommendation. Therefore, boosting strategies targeted to enhance community awareness on the benefit and handling practice of iodized salt is essential to improve availability of iodized salt.

The world economy cannot significantly recover unless and until 1) testing is very widely available so businesses can rehire those who have already been infected and demonstrate immunities; and 2) there is an effective vaccine that can be made available to billions of people. The latter at least is probably a year off.. Smallest Geographic Unit: SMEs

title: Patent Pools and COVID-19

description: Countries are still in the thick of fighting the COVID-19 health crisis and scientists and pharmaceutical companies are in the process of uncovering the molecular secrets of this novel coronavirus and developing potential vaccines, we need to revisit the issue of patent pools. During normal times in today's complex world, to produce certain goods and services, any manufacturer would have to obtain licenses to several interrelated patents, something that is known as the complements problem. Where there are many patents to obtain, this will complicate matters for innovation and indeed could lead to under use of technologies and heavy patent costs.<br><br>In order to simplify the process, patent pools can be created between patent owners that bundle multiple pieces of intellectual property together, rather than on a patent-by-patent basis, into a single license so that they can license their patents to other parties collectively. Patent pools thus reduce transaction costs for licensees and preserve the financial incentive for patent holders to commercialize their products. All this seems easy and straightforward—in an ideal world. In reality, however, patent pools can create anticompetitive practices. While patent pools can be pro-competitive, their anti-competitive effects arise in many ways.<br><br>In the U.S., there are the Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property. The antirust guidelines recognize clearly the pro-competitive benefits and anti-competitive nature of patent pools. Therefore, the antitrust guidelines recognizes that the effects of patent pools will be vetted on a case-by-case basis. The focus of antitrust examination will be on the formation or structure of the patent pool and whether this formation impairs competition. Courts assess most antitrust practices under a "rule of reason," which requires them to estimate the defendant's market power and the impact of some practice that is claimed to be unreasonably collusive or exclusionary.<br>

title: Continuation_Satistaction_LNGIUS_Dataset.sav

description: Dataset was from a prospective longitudinal phone survey made up of baseline survey of users at 2-weeks post-insertion of LNG IUS, recruited from 40 clinics across 18 states in Nigeria, with follow-up survey at the third and twelfth-month. A total 209 users were interviewed at baseline, 98 at three-months and 73 at twelve-month. User family planning and LNG IUS use experiences were elicited, and the continuation and satisfaction with the method at three and twelve months were also assessed. Average age of users of LNG IUS in the study at baseline is 33.7±6, and majority are aged 35 years and older (44%), followed by those aged 30-34 years and 25-29 years old which are approximately 30% and 20%. At the 3 and 12-months post-insertion, 97% (95% CI: 91.2, 98.8) and 92% (95% CI: 83.2, 96.2), respectively, reported still using the LNG IUS, with none out of the few users who discontinued the method reporting a method failure. Discontinuation was mainly as a result of desire to get pregnant (25.0%), experiences of bleeding disturbances (18.8%) and weight gain (18.8%). High satisfaction with the LNG IUS, 77.1% at 3-months and 86.3% at 12-month post-insertion was reported. Satisfaction with LNG IUS was associated with not having headache/migraine (88.4%) and no pelvic discomfort (90.8%) at 12-month than experiencing headache (50.0%) and pelvic discomfort (50.0%) (p&lt;0.05).

description: Publication in AEA P&P 2020.<br><br>We test for the importance of nudges in improving student performance in Introductory Economics courses at UNC-Chapel Hill. We use a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of nudges in encouraging use of academic supports and (jointly) the use of these supports on academic performance. With our aggregated sample the average treatment effects take the correct sign but are uniformly statistically insignificant. This near-zero average effect masks large and significant effects of nudges among subgroups of individuals: females, first-years, and individuals of color. Our results identify subgroup-activity pairings for which nudges work at the margin to encourage participation.<br>

title: Chemical characterization of PM2.5 and source apportionment of organic aerosol in New Delhi, India

description: Delhi is one of the most polluted cities worldwide and a comprehensive understanding and deeper insight into the air pollution and its sources is of high importance. We report 5 months of highly time-resolved measurements ofnon-refractory PM2.5 and black carbon (BC). Additionally, source apportionment based on positive matrix factorization (PMF) of the organic aerosol (OA) fraction is presented. The highest pollution levels are observed during winter in December/January. During that time, also uniquely high chloride concentrations are measured, which are sometimes even themost dominant NR-species in themorning hours. With increasing temperature, the total PM2.5 concentration decreases steadily, whereas the chloride concentrations decrease sharply. The concentrationsmeasured in May are roughly 6 times lower than in December/January. PMFanalysis resolves two primary factors, namely hydrocarbon-like (traffic-related) OA (HOA) and solid fuel combustion OA (SFCOA), and one or two secondary factors depending on the season. The uncertainties of the PMF analysis are assessed by combining the random a-value approach and the bootstrap resampling technique of the PMF input. The uncertainties for the resolved factors range from ±18% to ±19% for HOA, ±7% to ±19% for SFC-OA and ±6 % to ±11% for the OOAs. The average correlation of HOA with equivalent black carbon from traffic (eBCtr)is R2 = 0.40, while SFC-OA has a correlation of R2 = 0.78 with equivalent black carbon from solid fuel combustion (eBCsf). Anthracene (m/z 178) and pyrene (m/z 202) (PAHs) are mostly explained by SFC-OA and follow its diurnal trend (R2=0.98 and R2=0.97). The secondary oxygenated aerosols are dominant during daytime. The average contribution during the afternoon hours (1 pm–5 pm) is 59% to the total OA mass, with contributions up to 96% in May. In contrast, the primary sources are more important during nighttime: the mean nightly contribution (22 pm–3 am) to the total OA mass is 48%, with contributions up to 88% during some episodes in April. This repository contains the data corresponding to the figures presented in the published main text.
