Описание: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was an intervention of historic proportions in the US economy during the Great Recession. What lessons for the future can we learn from this massive federal program? In this book, scholars from public administration and public policy analyze the fraught politics and complex implementation of ARRA.
Описание: Presents an overview of the complex biological systems used within a global public health setting and features a focus on malaria analysis Bridging the gap between agent–based modeling and simulation (ABMS) and geographic information systems (GIS), Spatial Agent–Based Simulation Modeling in Public Health: Design, Implementation, and Applications for Malaria Epidemiology provides a useful introduction to the development of agent–based models (ABMs) by following a conceptual and biological core model of Anopheles gambiae for malaria epidemiology. Using spatial ABMs, the book includes mosquito (vector) control interventions and GIS as two example applications of ABMs, as well as a brief description of epidemiology modeling. In addition, the authors discuss how to most effectively integrate spatial ABMs with a GIS. The book concludes with a combination of knowledge from entomological, epidemiological, simulation–based, and geo–spatial domains in order to identify and analyze relationships between various transmission variables of the disease. Spatial Agent–Based Simulation Modeling in Public Health: Design, Implementation, and Applications for Malaria Epidemiology also features: Location–specific mosquito abundance maps that play an important role in malaria control activities by guiding future resource allocation for malaria control and identifying hotspots for further investigation Discussions on the best modeling practices in an effort to achieve improved efficacy, cost–effectiveness, ecological soundness, and sustainability of vector control for malaria An overview of the various ABMs, GIS, and spatial statistical methods used in entomological and epidemiological studies, as well as the model malaria study A companion website with computer source code and flowcharts of the spatial ABM and a landscape generator tool that can simulate landscapes with varying spatial heterogeneity of different types of resources including aquatic habitats and houses Spatial Agent–Based Simulation Modeling in Public Health: Design, Implementation, and Applications for Malaria Epidemiology is an excellent reference for professionals such as modeling and simulation experts, GIS experts, spatial analysts, mathematicians, statisticians, epidemiologists, health policy makers, as well as researchers and scientists who use, manage, or analyze infectious disease data and/or infectious disease–related projects. The book is also ideal for graduate–level courses in modeling and simulation, bioinformatics, biostatistics, public health and policy, and epidemiology. S. M.

Описание: This bookexamines the challenges in developmental assessment of infants and toddlers and provides best practices for implementing standardized assessments in early intervention settings.It starts with an overview of standardized assessment practices and discusses how specific tools can be used in early intervention for different purposes (e.g., eligibility for services).The book explains the importance of the Fidelity of Implementation of Assessment (FOI-A) approach in creating standardized assessment for infants and toddlers. Chapters provide a checklist-based framework for FOI-A, with details on technological supports for test administration and data collection as well as training and supervision models. In addition, chapters discuss ways of engaging families, gaining their trust, and including them in their children’s educational planning.Topics featured in this book include:The Battelle Development Inventory, 2ndEdition (BDI-2) and its use in the assessment of young children. Using checklists to improve fidelity of implementation for standardized assessments.Using checklists to support early intervention directors and teams.How to provide feedback to early interventionists and other professionals on FOI-A.Recommendations to improve FOI-A.Fidelity of Implementation in Assessment of Infants and Toddlersis a must-have resource forresearchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in varied fields including child and school psychology, pediatrics, social work, behavioral therapy, infantand early childhood development, and early education and care.
