The successful use of ring vaccination during the smallpox eradication campaign and its logical emphasis of case-contacts for immediate vaccination support its use (though the attribution of the success of the eradication program to ring vaccination has been challenged [ 6]).
With a non-explained heterogeneous diabetes type II population and large non-diabetes-related primary healthcare utilisation, health planners might consider putting more emphasis on case management instead of disease management.
Nurses are one of the main providers of the services developed to tackle this challenge, with special emphasis on case management, as one of the most common forms.
A set of scenarios was designed in order to evaluate the response of the Ria de Aveiro to extreme events, with special emphasis on cases of high precipitation or run-off situations generating high turbidity conditions inside the lagoon, or dry situations or low run-off conditions corresponding to a reduction of the mean precipitation and rivers discharge.
Of particular importance is emphasis on case-based context-dependent learning situations that address the complexity of specific clinical domains and focus on transfer of knowledge and skills beyond the specific learning situation (3).
For future research, we suggest conducting the course in more than one setting and structuring it in multiple sessions (with one to two months in between sessions)—with an emphasis on the presentation of case studies in which argumentative discussion skills have been successfully or unsuccessfully implemented where doctors can share their experiences and identify solutions.
We give emphasis to the case of interaction of the semiconductor quantum well with electromagnetic pulses with a duration of few cycles and even a single cycle.
The use of the WSCV for dichotomous data has never been investigated before, and a novel contribution in this paper is the estimation of WSCV for binary outcome measurements, and sample size requirements, with emphasis on the case of two ratings per subject (i.e. n = 2).
This study focuses on issues related to archaeological sites of smaller scale, with special emphasis on the case of the Upper Lerma River, where we have been conducting research over the past four decades.
The paper presents a method that allows the thickness of a compact bone layer and longitudinal wave velocity in the bone to be determined simultaneously with the use of reflected waves, with particular emphasis on the case of layers when the propagation time through the layer is shorter than the time duration of the interrogating pulse.
The control of balance was also studied and the work reserves a special emphasis to the case of historical opera houses.
