Globalization Versus or Pro the State
Optimized Random-Combinations of Total Fertility Rates and Life Expectancies at Birth for Probabilistic Population Projections
Effect of a Male-Targeted Digital Decision Support Application Aimed at Increasing Linkage to HIV Care Among Men
Mediating role of walking between perceived and objective walkability and cognitive function in older adults
Can a conditional financial incentive (CFI) reduce socio-demographic inequalities in home-based HIV testing uptake? A secondary analysis of the Hits clinical trial intervention in rural South Africa
In sub-Saharan Africa, home-based HIV testing interventions are designed to reach sub-populations with low access to HIV testing such as men, younger or less educated people. Combining these interventions with conditional financial incentives (CFI) has been shown to be effective to increase testing uptake. CFI are effective for one-off health behaviour change but whether they operate differentially on different socio-demographic groups is less cl…
HIV incidence declines in a rural South African population
We have followed participants in one of the world's largest and longest running HIV cohorts to estimate long-term trends in the population-wide incidence of infection. Using a G-imputation approach, we present further evidence for HIV incidence rate declines in this hyper-endemic South African setting

Effects of Pain, Insomnia, and Depression on Psychoactive Medication Supply in Older Adults With Osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND: Determinants of prescribing psychoactive medications for symptom management in older adults remain underexamined despite known risks and cautions concerning these medications. OBJECTIVE: To examine independent and combined effects of pain, concurrent insomnia and depression symptoms on psychoactive medications supplied to older adults with osteoarthritis (OA). RESEARCH DESIGN: Survey data on pain, insomnia, and depression obtained fro…

Lessons from the malfunctioning of the Eurozone's financial system
The persisting Eurozone's crisis is a combination of a sovereign debt crisis and a banking crisis that have been triggered by the Global Financial Crisis. The sovereign debt crisis is the consequence of a policy laxity for applying the principles and fiscal rules of the monetary union, which led to macroeconomic imbalances and enforced the mispricing of risks by the markets that in turn contributed to escalate the banking crisis. To address the c…
Are conditional cash grants fair ? The meta-operative model
L'article évalue l'équité du système de subventions conditionnelles via une approche de gestion des risques sociaux, en se concentrant sur Bolsa Familia au Brésil et Oportunidades au Mexique. En considérant le fonctionnement variable de ces programmes, leur injustice est mise en évidence au niveau de leurs dimensions opérationnelles et de leurs résultats. Dans le but de s'attaquer à l'origine de l'injustice de subventions conditionnelles, l'auteu…
The Democratic Impact of ICT in Africa
This paper takes a critical look at the view that the Internet can serve as a laboratory of political experimentation for reconfiguring the repertories of political actions. The overall discourses on information and communications technology (ICT) are too often focused on technology and infrastructure, when the question of its use should be central. In order to comprehend how ICT can serve as a democratic enhancer, this paper critically examines …
