It is not just about the training
Introduction Public health rapid response teams (RRTs) are critical to timely and effective emergency response. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has trained country-level public health emergency managers on RRT programme design, management and operations. However, countries continue to face challenges in RRT programming, requiring further elucidation of the supportive and challenging factors. Methods In April 2021, 86 CDC-t…
Optimizing surveillance post-pandemic
On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization removed the public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) designation for the COVID-19 pandemic, noting reduced global risk of severe COVID-19 due to widespread infection and vaccine-induced immunity. Several months prior, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) requested technical assistance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to evaluate its COVID-19 surveilla…

Does cal .22 Improve Marksmanship for Police Students in Sweden
Firearm training could focus on more practical shooting and tactical training if students pass the examination at an earlier stage during their basic training. The aim of this study is to investigate whether minimizing the recoil, andtherefore the startle reaction, and/or psychological factors could increase the shooting scores. This study employs a quasi-experimental design involving two groups of police students: 28 in the control group and 27 …
Testing early warning and response systems through a full-scale exercise in Vietnam
This exercise documents the value of exercising surveillance capabilities as part of a real-time operational scenario before facing a true emergency. The timing of this exercise and choice of disease scenario was particularly fortuitous given the subsequent appearance of COVID-19. As a result of this exercise and subsequent improvements made by the MOH, the country may have been better able to deal with the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and contain it

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Left Government in West Bengal, 1977–2011
This article appraises the role of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) in West Bengal, where the CPM-led Left Front formed government uninterruptedly between 1977 and 2011. It identifies four phases of Left politics in West Bengal: the period during which communists built support for a programme of radical transformation; the post-1977 years when the Left Front introduced land reform and effective local government that produced a ‘party …
A global knowledge economy
This article critiques the notion of a cross-national convergence of institutional and policy responses to science-based technologies. The continued significance of institutional legacies is demonstrated through a comparative analysis of strategies for the biopharma industry in two radically different settings: India and the European Union (EU). Tensions are evident in both the EU ‘high’ route and the mixed strategy pursued in India. State promot…
Aid, Service Delivery, And The Millennium Development Goals In An Economy-Wide Framework
"In many developing countries, achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 will require significant increases in expenditures on social services and in foreign assistance. It will also require careful planning of the sector allocation and sequencing of public spending. Especially for low-income countries, the challenges of the MDGs cannot be well understood unless sector issues are seen in the context of constraints at the macro lev…
The Bio-economy and the Competition State
This article examines the role of the state in the emerging bio-economy. The starting point is that state interventions, including supportive regulatory arrangements and the shaping of public attitudes, constitute core assets in the evolution of bioindustrial complexes. Public policy in the bio-economy, across advanced industrial countries, is well captured by the “competition state” concept. This type of state takes different forms, analogously …

Pharmaceutical Benefits in Australia and Sweden
Pharmaceutical benefits provide a stable framework within which consumers, prescribers, suppliers, pharmacists and other actors undertake transactions. The state in effect delivers a good that enhances individual autonomy. A major reason for the legitimacy enjoyed by pharmaceutical benefits in both Australia and Sweden is that these programs have strong attributes of universalism (rather than targeting). Sweden's predominantly public health syste…

Representing America
For the literary scholar, inquiry into the remythologizing of may well be formulated as a question about representation, a question not only about what but also whose representations and who is affirmed as representative. In considering how America is being represented in current literature and literary criticism, especially in the canon debate, I will be concerned in this essay not so much with images of new American realities but with the produ…
A New Approach to SAM Updating with an Application to Egypt
When social accounting matrices (SAMs) are updated with fragmentary data the new column and row totals are often not all known in advance. Also, the overall total of all matrix entries may not be known. This results in a situation in which the generally used RAS method cannot be applied to update the SAM, as the outcomes become unreliable with unknown totals. In this paper a generalised version of the RAS method is developed, based on information…
Projecting a Model of Semiotic Change
form of labor power, so prominently analyzed by Marx, is a key feature of capitalist society. With regard to the interaction of subjects at the existential level, or exchange, we encounter first the question of who will occupy the position that favors expression, or extrinsic value, on the one hand, and the position that favors content, or intrinsic value, on the other. Any act of exchange involves the opposition between expression and content, o…
Economic Policy in Egypt
In the first half of the 1970s, Egypt turned away from the Soviet Union and initiated an economic open-door policy. Since then, the United States, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank have encouraged comprehensive reforms that would make Egypt an outward-looking market-oriented capitalist economy in which the private sector plays a dominant role. While the Egyptian economy had gone in that direction between 1974 and 1990, it …
