Catastrophic Health Expenditures And Impoverishment In Kenya

European Scientific Journal, ESJ, 2016
Background: Out-of-pocket health expenditures leave households exposed to the risk of financial catastrophe and poverty whenever they entail significant dissaving or the sale of key household assets. Even relatively small expenditures on health can be financially disastrous for poor households and similarly, large health care expenditures can lead to ...

Anode‐Free Sodium Metal Batteries: From Materials Design to System‐Level Integration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Anode‐free sodium metal batteries hold no sodium reserve, so every inefficiency becomes permanent loss. Resolving the inventory into reversible, dead, and chemically bound fractions exposes what Coulombic efficiency hides. Practical 500‐cycle operation requires above 99.95%, a threshold few systems meet under lean electrolyte and high areal capacity ...

Changes in catastrophic health expenditure in post-conflict Sierra Leone: an Oaxaca-blinder decomposition analysis

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2017
Background At the end of the eleven-year conflict in Sierra Leone, a wide range of policies were implemented to address both demand- and supply-side constraints within the healthcare system, which had collapsed during the conflict.

An Expertise Transfer Framework For Autonomous Surgical Assistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an expertise transfer framework for procedure‐spanning autonomous surgical assistance. By emulating expert logic through hierarchical perception, attention modeling, and knowledge graph‐based decision‐making, the system provides near‐expert surgical view assistance.

Q‐LEAP: Millisecond Hyperdimensional Optimization for Full‐Spectrum Optical Metamaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Q‐LEAP integrates physics‐informed residual machine learning with factorization‐machine‐encoded quantum annealing to design full‐spectrum optical metamaterials. It explores a 2108 design space and, in a single 2.56 ms annealing step, reaches 85.83% of the theoretical FoM limit, enabling selective 5‐8 µm emission with 3–5 and 8–14 µm suppression and ∼40×
