Finally, new approaches to measuring the payoffs from research that focus on linkages between knowledge producers and users, and on the characteristics of research networks, appear promising as the limitations of the production function and related methods have become apparent.
Groups from the U.S. and Canada organized a "Joint Struggle" delegation which includes gatherings that focus on linkages among prison industries, gender and environmental injustice, labor solidarity, racism and settler-colonialism.
While the focus on linkages and commonalities across space may well be an important feature of global health we would also do well to remember differences.
A novelty introduced by van Olmen et al. is the focus on linkages between different elements of the system, emphasising how outcomes and goals are achieved as a result of complex interactions between all ten components.
Genetic mapping efforts in the turkey have focused on linkage mapping [ 9- 13] and the physical information available is very limited.
In farm animals, for many years, such studies were focused on linkage mapping in experimental crosses with the highly variable microsatellites as the markers of choice.
The availability of the complete sequence of the chicken genome has initiated the development of detailed genomic information in other birds including turkey, an agriculturally important species where mapping has hitherto focused on linkage with limited physical information.
Thus, along with other health benefits, interventions focusing on linkage to care and initiation of ART may help to protect the mental health of pregnant and childbearing women in sub-Saharan Africa, with important benefits for maternal and child health.
Three literature reviews have been conducted on HIV care prior to ART initiation in recent years, 2 4 but they mostly focused on linkage to care and provided very little information on retention in HIV care prior to ART eligibility as well as on risk factors for retention.
