Global Health Lecture Notes: Issues, Challenges and Global Action provides a thorough introduction to a wide range of important global health issues and explores the resources and skills needed for this rapidly expanding area. Global Health is a growing area that reflects the increasing interconnectedness of health and its determinants. Major socio-economic, environmental and technological changes have produced new challenges, and exacerbated existing health inequalities experienced in both developed and developing countries. This textbook focuses on managing and preventing these challenges, as well as analysing critical links between health, disease, and socio-economic development through a multi-disciplinary approach. Featuring learning objectives and discussion points, Global Health Lecture Notes is an indispensable resource for global health students, faculty and practitioners who are looking to build on their understanding of global health issues.

ìCommunity-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has become the preferred model for conducting research in communities. Most scientists who conduct such research now recognize that working in partnership with the community is preferable, and more ethical, than conducting research on a communityÖ. As Surgeon General of the United States, I direct a number of programs aimed at encouraging Americans to avoid tobacco, engage in physical activity, consume more nutritious diets, and protect their health in other ways. We need more effective methods to persuade, motivate, and enable individuals and communities to adopt these healthier lifestyles, and it is through CBPR that we will be able to disco...
This book presents some of the most advanced leading-edge technology for the fourth Industrial Revolution -- known as “Industry 4.0.” The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the interconnections of AI, IoT, big data and cloud computing as integral to the technologies that revolutionize the way companies produce and distribute products and the way local governments deliver their services. The book emphasizes that at every phase of the supply chain, manufactures are found to be interweaving AI, robotics, IoT, big data/machine learning, and cloud computing into their production facilities and throughout their distribution networks. Equally important, the authors show how their research can be applied to computer vision, cyber security, database and compiler theory, natural language processing, healthcare, education and agriculture. Presents the fundamentals of AI, IoT, and cloud computing and how they can be incorporated in Industry 4.0 applications Motivates readers to address challenges in the areas of speech communication and signal processing Provides numerous examples, case studies, technical descriptions, and approaches of AI/ML
This Research Topic is Volume 2 in the Integrative Learning in US Undergraduate Public Health Education: Effective High-Impact Practices series:Integrative Learning in US Undergraduate Public Health Education: Effective High-Impact Practices Undergraduate public health degree programs have flourished over the last decade in the United States; from 1995 to 2016, for example, the number of related undergraduate degrees awarded annually increased almost ten-fold, from around 1,300 to nearly 13,000. The Council on Education for Public Health established initial accreditation criteria for standalone baccalaureate programs in 2013 in tandem with these increases and in 2015, the Association of Scho...
In October 2016, the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH) released new competencies that all accredited Master of Public Health (MPH) programs must adhere to. Master of Public Health Competencies: A Case Study Approach covers each of the 22 required competencies to demonstrate how they can be applied in public health practice. Spanning all five key disciplines of Public Health – biostatistics, epidemiology, health policy and management; social and behavioral sciences; and environmental and occupation health – Master of Public Health Competencies covers the full breadth of public health. Each chapter is focused on a single CEPH competency and provides the background of the public health issue, followed by a case study to learn that competency and understand its application. Written by MPH faculty and community practitioners and based on real world public practice, these concise case studies are accompanied by discussion questions that facilitate classroom discussion.
This current Research Topic does not derive directly from Boyer’s Model of Scholarship, but nonetheless represents a well-timed exploration and example of where higher education has progressed in bringing the innovative, integrative conceptualization of higher education scholarship and practice laid out by Boyer, to realization through the growing arena of undergraduate public health programs. At the same time, the authors included here were invited to specifically address a second arena of scholarly practice associated with additional elements of Boyer’s legacy, effective High-Impact Practices (HIPs) - practices that engage students, faculty and often broader communities in integrative ...

McDonnell here offers some startling new ways to think about propaganda, specifically about health campaigns. He uses HIV/AIDS media campaigns in Ghana as his case, laying out efforts to control and organize how local communities make sense of the disease. Using media to change people s sexual practices involves evidence-based design, opinion leaders in the design process, and getting all organizations behind a single message. But these campaigns hardly ever work. Why? They are subject to cultural misfires: they are disrupted by misinterpretation and misuse. Enter cultural entropy this concept identifies a process through which intended meanings and uses of propaganda (and other cultural obj...
