Improving the benefits of HIV testing and referrals in large household surveys through active linkages to care: Lessons and recommendations from the Namibia population-based HIV impact assessment (NAM…
In household-based surveys that include rapid HIV testing services (HTS), passive referral systems that give HIV-positive participants information about how and where to access ART but minimal follow-up support from survey staff may result in suboptimal linkage. In the 2017 Namibia Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (NAMPHIA), we piloted a system of active linkage to care and ART (ALCART) that utilized the infrastructure of existing community…

Other Times: Philosophical Perspectives on Past, Present and Future
Self, World and God in Spinoza and Weil
a formulation that, one might think, makes it clear that on Weil's view God is, in some fairly straightforward sense, distinct from Nature. Again, while both suggest that each of us must strive to become something other than a finite portion of Nature, it often looks as if they are recommending two diametrically opposite forms of this goal. Thus, Spinoza speaks of the aim as being to become identical with Nature
Simone Weil on death
Weil argues that the belief in immortality is harmful because it takes away the practical use of death. The practical use of death is to remind us of, and turn us away from, our normal strong orientation towards the future. We must learn to live in the same spirit as Socrates when he was awaiting death in prison and learning to play the lyre. Closely linked with that, a pure love for another will involve no future-oriented concern and so it will …

Human Beings and Giant Squids
A television nature programme a year or two ago contained a striking sequence in which a giant squid was under threat from some other creature (no doubt a human being with a video camera). The squid responded in a way which struck me immediately and powerfully as one of fear. Part of what was striking in this sequence was the way in which it was possible to see in the behaviour of a creature physically so very different from human beings an emoti…
The Supernatural
The final chapter of Peter Winch's book on Simone Weil discusses Weil's idea of supernatural virtue. Weil uses this language in connection with certain exceptional actions: actions of a kind which are for most of us, most of the time, simply impossible. She is particularly struck by cases in which someone refrains from exercising a power which they have over another: in which, for example, someone refrains from killing or enslaving an enemy who h…

The Evidence for Reincarnation
There are significant numbers of well-documented cases of the following general kind. At the age of 3 or 4 a child starts to make claims about his past which clearly do not correspond to anything that has happened in his present life. He claims to remember living in a certain place, doing certain things, being with certain people, and so on. It is then found that these memory claims fit the life of a person who died shortly before the child was b…
