As female educational achievements continue to equal, and in some nations outstrip, average educational achievements of males globally, greater support is required to enhance male educational levels, not least as a pathway to optimising children's development though better utilisation of child health services.
For now, though, the plan is to use the machine for "utilisation management", American health-care jargon for deciding whether a treatment is appropriate given the state of medical knowledge and, therefore, whether it will be paid for by an insurance company.Ensuring that doctors can stay current with the latest developments in their field sounds like an excellent idea.
The RPS programme in Nicaragua was able to successfully improve both health service utilisation and supply, though the evaluation did not measure health outcomes.
Even though DDT was banned from utilisation in North America and Western Europe in the 1970s with no new input in the southern North Sea during the last decades [ 59], the breakdown products of DDT were still detected in the analyzed samples (DDE showing the highest concentrations).
The only exception was for EU-27 countries where the utilisation of planted forests did raise the producers' benefits, though by less than US$1 billion (Table 8), due to the high proportion of planted forests in EU-27 countries (Table 1).
