Finally, the evidence that MHOs are an effective tool for protecting households from the potentially catastrophic expenditures associated with hospitalization indicates that MHOs should be considered as an effective health financing mechanism in settings where health care is largely financed by out-of-pocket spending.
Within each of the dimensions (i.e., combinations of pharmacovigilance mechanisms and settings of use), there are practices that currently allow for effective pharmacovigilance monitoring, as well as limitations that could hinder efforts to effectively monitor the safety of biologic products with multiple manufacturers.
In recent years, use of multi-attribute auctions has been consolidating as a powerful mechanism in procurement settings where multiple drivers affect the transaction outcome.
Results from games conducted with a random sample of 300 subjects from a slum neighborhood of Kampala, Uganda, suggest that successful public goods provision in homogenous ethnic communities can be attributed to a strategy selection mechanism: in similar settings, co-ethnics play cooperative equilibria, whereas non-co-ethnics do not.
Nonetheless, there are some tempting clues that we believe indicate that exploring this mechanism in other settings is warranted.
Alcohol use by FSWs may also have a psychological component, and has been reported as a possible coping mechanism in several settings [ 5, 8, 30].
Even though studies into the primary or secondary prevention of ineffective chronic illness behaviour are relatively scarce [e.g. [ 69- 71]], we believe that in many health settings, mechanism of mutual reinforcement of ineffective behaviours are relevant but poorly recognized and understudied phenomena.
The use of transgenic males with fluorescently labeled sperm has recently shown a common set of sperm precedence mechanisms in competitive settings with a major role of active sperm displacement of resident heterospecific sperm by incoming conspecific sperm and female control of sperm utilization through sperm ejection and fertilization bias [ 11].
I've had it for three years, but its alarm-setting mechanism remains baffling and I'm still stumped over how to pre-set my favorite radio stations.
We survey the recent literature on designing auctions and mechanisms for dynamic settings.
