Building on the Differences
In this practitioner-focused article, the authors take a close look at Chris Voss’s book Never Split the Difference, especially exploring its application to non-hostage negotiations in both the political and business worlds. They conclude that many of the Vossian precepts are difficult to transfer to an environment with structural long-term mutual dependency. They note an ongoing need to create value beyond what is on the table and offer a reinte…
Toward transparent governance of transboundary fisheries
Transparency is one of the most influential themes in global environmental governance, however it has received limited treatment in transboundary fisheries. Transparency is essential to ensure officials are held accountable for the use of public resources and the achievement of environmental objectives, such as sustainable harvest. Here, we use a case study approach to assess transparency in transboundary fisheries governance, evaluating transshi…
Drivers of the reduction in childhood diarrhea mortality 1980-2015 and interventions to eliminate preventable diarrhea deaths by 2030
BACKGROUND: Childhood diarrhea deaths have declined more than 80% from 1980 to 2015, in spite of an increase in the number of children in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Possible drivers of this remarkable accomplishment can guide the further reduction of the half million annual child deaths from diarrhea that still occur. METHODS: We used the Lives Saved Tool, which models effects on mortality due to changes in coverage of preventive or…
Diarrhea management in children under five in sub-Saharan Africa
Many children's lives can be saved with correct management of childhood diarrhea. Too many children are not receiving adequate care for diarrhea in high-burden sub-Saharan African countries, even among those seen in health facilities. Redoubling efforts to increase careseeking and improve quality of care for childhood diarrhea in both health facilities and at community level is an urgent priority
Examining the Effects of Jyoti Meditation on Stress and the Moderating Role of Emotional Intelligence
The authors examined whether Jyoti meditation (JM), a spiritually based meditation (Singh, ), influenced student counselors' (N = 60) level of stress and emotional intelligence (EI). Results from a randomized controlled trial and growth curve analysis provided a multilevel model in which JM reduced stress and EI moderated the effect

In March 2014, over 400 individuals from 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and 59 international partner organizations gathered in Accra, Ghana for an integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) Evidence Review Symposium. The objective was 2-fold: first, to review the current state of the art of iCCM implementation and second, to assist African countries to integrate lessons learned and best practices presented during the symposium into their pro…
The way forward for integrated community case management programmes
Integrated community case management (iCCM) programming is an important and increasingly common strategy used to deliver essential health and nutrition interventions to families in sub-Saharan Africa [1-3]. Between 3 and 5 March 2014, over 400 individuals from 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and 59 international partner organisations gathered in Accra, Ghana for an iCCM Evidence Review Symposium. The objective of the Symposium was twofold: fir…

Community case management of childhood illness in sub–Saharan Africa – findings from a cross–sectional survey on policy and implementation
BACKGROUND: Community case management (CCM) involves training, supporting, and supplying community health workers (CHWs) to assess, classify and manage sick children with limited access to care at health facilities, in their communities. This paper aims to provide an overview of the status in 2013 of CCM policy and implementation in sub-Saharan African countries. METHODS: We undertook a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative survey amongst te…
Time-tripping the Black Fantastic
Playing Red and Playing Blue
The release of Nelson Mandela from prison was remarkable mostly because of the nonevent it signified: the absence of a bloodbath that had been widely predicted for the country as the apartheid regime grew increasingly tense, cruel and unsustainable. Four years after the release and after a complex series of negotiations between Mandela and President De Klerk, South Africa staged its first one man-one vote election and again, peacefully, a new mul…
Discussion Suppers as a Means for Community Engagement
PURPOSE: This paper describes how Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network (LVHHN), a large tertiary care urban hospital, used discussion suppers as a means for community engagement designed to lead to community health improvement. An overview of the implementation of the project is described. PROJECT: In 1996, with an awareness of the need to address population-based health improvement, the Dorothy Rider Pool Health Care Trust and LVHHN underto…
Of Power in Paradise
Of Power in Paradise: An Answer to Kagan Mark Young (bio) The European-American relations “business” has for decades been predictably dull, marked by periodic conferences, articles and speeches about “shared values”, a “special transatlantic relationship” and “partnerships in leadership”. Over and over, we have earnestly reaffirmed our affinity for one another, and sung the praises of this essential alliance on many different levels. All that see…
Intervention models for the management of children with signs of pneumonia or malaria by community health workers
A systematic review was conducted to categorize and describe Intervention Models involving community health workers (CHWs) that aim to improve case management of sick children at the household and community levels. The review focused on management of children with signs of malaria or pneumonia. Seven Intervention Models were identified, and classified according to: (1) the role of CHWs and families in assessment and treatment of children, (2) sys…
Hospital Characteristics and Mortality Rates
The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) publishes hospital mortality rates each year. We undertook a study to identify characteristics of hospitals associated with variations in these rates. To do so, we obtained data on 3100 hospitals from the 1986 HCFA mortality study and the American Hospital Association's 1986 annual survey of hospitals. The mortality rates were adjusted for each hospital's case mix and other characteristics of its pa…
