Цель этого документа – повысить уровень осознания актуальности приоритетных направлений научных исследований по проблеме ТБ/ВИЧ (то есть по тем направлениям, кот...орые требуют срочного финансирования и внимания ученых), содействовать координации информационно-пропагандистской работы и стимулировать финансирование научных изысканий. Поставленная задача заключается в наращивании темпов осуществления высококачественных и интегрированных вмешательства по борьбе с ТБ/ВИЧ в условиях ограниченных ресурсов. В документе дается описание пересмотренной повестки дня по приоритетным научным вопросам, в основе которой лежат недавно полученные фактические данные по шести ключевым проблемам коинфекции ТБ и ВИЧ.

Как и руководство 2006 года, настоящий документ предназначен для специалистов,
занимающихся разработкой государственных программ по борьбе с туберкулезом, педиатр...ов и других работников здравоохранения в странах с низким и средним уровнем дохода. Эти рекомендации не подходят для стран с высоким уровнем дохода, где распространенность ТБ невысока. Особенно важно проводить это различие при выборе методов диагностики и обследовании контактных лиц.

This Training Manual is developed based on the Child Protection Working Group Interagency Guidelines for Case Management. The Facilitator’s Guide provides guidance on the key steps to take before, during and after training, including customizing the training to different contexts and audiences.
This guide is a revised edition to the previous version published in 2017.
This updated publication provides programme managers with a user-friendly tool that can: (i) analyse and draw conclusions from historic dengue datasets; (ii) identify appropriate alarm indicators that can predict forthcoming... outbreaks at smaller spatial scales; and (iii) use these results and analyses to build an early warning system to detect dengue outbreaks in real time and respond accordingly. This web-based tool can ensure enhanced, fast and secured communication between national and subnational levels, and standardized utilization of surveillance data.

The EYE strategy is a comprehensive and long-term strategy built on lessons learned that aims at ending yellow fever epidemics by 2026, and consists of three strategic objectives:
protect at-risk populations;
prevent international spread; and
contain outbreaks rapidly.
The aims of these guidelines are to provide guidance to health-care providers (i.e. the end-users of these guidelines: physicians, nurses, pharmacists and caregivers) on the adequate relief of pain associated with cancer. They also assist policy-makers, programme managers and public health personnel... to create and facilitate appropriately balanced policies on opioids and prescribing regulations for effective and safe cancer pain management. Proper and effective stewardship of opioid analgesics in the cancer treatment setting is essential to ensure the safety of patients and to reduce the risk of diversion of medicine into society.
The goal of cancer pain management is to relieve pain to a level that allows for an acceptable quality of life.

Research Paper.
As the fighting in Syria winds down, international humanitarian organisations (IHOs) operating from Damascus are hopeful that the Syrian government’s interference in their work will decrease. However, the government is attempting to formalise its influence over humanitarian operat...ions.
Throughout the Syrian conflict, the government has imposed multiple administrative processes on humanitarian organisations to limit their ability to operate independently. This includes restricting the operational environment; undermining organisational independence; imposing local partners; influencing procurement procedures; and preventing direct monitoring and evaluation.
While some level of coordination with the government might be a pragmatic necessity to ensure the safety of operations in regime-controlled areas, this cooperation should not enable the government to use aid for military or political purposes. Consequently, international humanitarian organisations have an ethical dilemma in how they provide aid in these areas without undermining their principles of humanity, independence, impartiality and neutrality.

Das Unterrichtsmaterial ermöglicht in verschiedenen Modulen die Erforschung der Globalgeschichte von ausgewählten Pflanzen. Es beleuchtet marginalisierte Perspektiven und Geschichten und thematisiert die Entstehung aktueller problematischer und ungerechter Verhältnisse, wie Landraub oder Plantage...nbewirtschaftung. Auch die individüllen Betroffenheiten und Handlungsmöglichkeiten hin zu gerechter Ernährung und Dekolonisierung privat, in der Schule, in der Ausbildung, im (zukünftigen) Beruf und auf weiteren gesellschaftlichen Ebenen können mit den Unterrichtsmodulen thematisiert und diskutiert werden.

Dieses Kurzdossier konzentriert sich besonders auf den Zusammenhang zwischen zwei übertragbaren
tropischen Armutserkrankungen – dem Wurmbefall des Darms durch Geohelminthen wie Spul-,
Peitschen- und Hakenwürmer sowie der Schistosomiasis (Bilharziose). Es zeigt Möglichkeiten zu
deren Bekämpf...ung auf und appelliert an internationale Entwicklungspartner, im Rahmen ihrer Gesundheits-
und Ernährungsprogramme regelmäßige Entwurmungsbehandlungen für alle, die eine
solche Behandlung benötigen, zugänglich zu machen. So können die Lebensbedingungen der Armen
nachhaltig verbessert werden.
