  • Using Social Media for Economic Disaster Evaluation

    Daniel Eckhardt, Adriana Leiras et al.ARTICLENatural Hazards Review2022

    We propose the usage of social media as the primary way to collect and consolidate disaster data to provide a less costly and faster economic evaluation process. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of over 406 peer-reviewed papers, this study first offers a taxonomy to show how social media can be applied to economic disaster assessments. Then we deliver an economic assessment to a flooding disaster in Brazil based on text mining of Twit…

  • Infant mortality and breast-feeding in North-Eastern Brazil

    H Goldberg, H L Goldberg et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    The effects of breast-feeding on infant health have been a topic of considerable discussion in recent years. In this paper multivariate techniques are used to examine the relationship between the failure to breast-feed and mortality among infants in four states of north east Brazil. It was found that breast-fed children were significantly more likely to survive infancy than children who were never breast-fed, even when other socio-economic, demog…

Among the intervening variables analyzed--urban/rural residence, educational attainment, age of woman, and place of last live birth--education and place of last live…

  • Analysis of Breastfeeding in Northeastern Brazil

    John E Anderson, Walter Rodrigues et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1983Cited by: 3

    Data from the 1980 Survey of Maternal-Child Health/Family Planning in Northeastern Brazil (Bahia Paraiba Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte) indicate a mean duration of breastfeeding of 6.6 months and a mean postpartum amenorrhea of 3.8 months. Given the relatively high infant mortality in the area and the known health benefits of breastfeeding the short duration can be considered to have a deleterious effect on the health of the population. The …
