Animal husbandry and environmental conditions are associated with cefotaxime-resistant Escherichia coli in yard soil in peri-urban Malawi
Soil is an important reservoir for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and increasingly recognized as a pathogen transmission pathway, especially for young children. However, drivers of domestic AMR soil contamination in low-income countries remain unidentified. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 237 peri-urban households in southern Malawi to identify household and environmental factors associated with cefotaxime - resistant E. coli in yard so…
Potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cropping in India
India is among the largest emitters of agricultural greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the world and is dominated by small-scale farmers who are highly vulnerable to climate change. To help target interventions most likely to reduce emissions from croplands while benefiting farmers, we estimate emissions of three different GHGs for 44 crops at a district level using an ensemble of models connected to clear management actions: nitrous-oxide (N 2 O) linked…
Achieving high-integrity tree-planting projects in the voluntary carbon market
Globally, the voluntary carbon market (VCM) is a popular mechanism for carbon emitters to purchase credits and offset their emissions. Despite criticisms of unclear carbon outcomes, long-term durability of projects, and impacts on local communities, there are few systematic studies that assess their ecological and social outcomes based on ground-level data and robust counterfactuals. This study synthesizes data from the carbon market registry, on…
Workplace democracy in action? Assessing employee board representation in Australian government agencies
Various scholars and political actors advocate workplace democratisation to give employees greater influence over decision‐making. Many suggest employee board representation (EBR) as a mechanism to facilitate this, but some question how influential employee board representatives (EBRs) are and whether they represent their colleagues’ views. This study investigates the extent to which EBR contributes to workplace democratisation, via a comparison …

BACKGROUND: South Africa is experiencing a demographic and epidemiological transition with an increase in population aged 50 years and older and rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases. This, coupled with high HIV and tuberculosis prevalence, puts an already weak health service under greater strain. OBJECTIVE: To measure self-reported chronic health conditions and chronic disease risk factors, including smoking and alcohol use, and to esta…
Assessing health and well-being among older people in rural South Africa
BACKGROUND: The population in developing countries is ageing, which is likely to increase the burden of non-communicable diseases and disability. OBJECTIVE: To describe factors associated with self-reported health, disability and quality of life (QoL) of older people in the rural northeast of South Africa. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey of 6,206 individuals aged 50 and over. We used multivariate analysis to examine relationships between demograph…
First experiences in the implementation of biometric technology to link data from Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems with health facility data
BACKGROUND: In developing countries, Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) provide a framework for tracking demographic and health dynamics over time in a defined geographical area. Many HDSSs co-exist with facility-based data sources in the form of Health Management Information Systems (HMIS). Integrating both data sources through reliable record linkage could provide both numerator and denominator populations to estimate disease p…
Effect of HIV/Aids-related mortality on household dependency ratios in rural South Africa, 2000-2005
UNLABELLED: With data from a surveillance system that uses verbal autopsies to identify cause of death in rural South Africa, we investigated whether mortality from HIV/AIDS differs from other causes of death in its effect on household dependency ratio, and to what extent the effect is mediated by the baseline dependency ratio. FINDINGS: (i) the impact of death from HIV/AIDS on the dependency ratio in 2005 is marginally positive compared with oth…
Research into health, population and social transitions in rural South Africa
Rationale for study: Vital registration is generally lacking in infrastructurally weak areas where health and development problems are most pressing. Health and demographic surveillance is a response to the lack of a valid information base that can provide high-quality longitudinal data on population dynamics, health, and social change to inform policy and practice. Design and measurement procedures: Continuous demographic monitoring of an entire…
