Monitoring the health of the population

European Journal of Public Health, 2014
Background Health monitoring is the first of the ten essential public health operations identified for the WHO European Region and a prerequisite for evidence-informed policy-making. This abstract aims to describe the current state of affairs in the WHO European Region.

Vector population monitoring tools for insecticide resistance management: Myth or fact?

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2019
Insecticide resistance is a large and growing problem for the control of mosquito disease vectors. The World Health Organization (WHO) established the Global Plan for Insecticide Resistance Management (GPIRM) in 2012.

Population Monitoring for Acute Exposure to 210Po

Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2008
To investigate the feasibility of using single void urine samples to monitor internal radiation exposure of first responders and large populations int he event of a radiological incident involving the intentional dispersal of 210Po.Urinary excretion of 210Po was evaluated and organ absorbed and effective doses were calculated subsequent to an acute ...

Distinguishing population processes by external monitoring

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003
From the paper: Construction of models is the most basic activity in science, lying at the heart of understanding, prediction and practical applications. Uncovering the dominant mechanisms governing the deterministic evolution of nonlinear dynamical systems is an essential component of this activity. These systems are known to exhibit a wide variety of

Biological Monitoring of Bisphenol A in a Korean Population

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2003
To conduct proper biological monitoring of environmental exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), the variation in host susceptibility need to be investigated. For this purpose, we studied effects of genetic polymorphism in sulfotransferase (SULT) 1A1 on urinary BPA, a biomarker for BPA exposure, in 73 Koreans (male, 34; female, 39; age, 48.9 +/- 11.9 yrs).

Monitoring the Health of a Population

1998
Abstract To react effectively to events affecting the health of a population, public health practitioners must be able to monitor accurately the occurrence and risk factors for disease and injury. This monitoring involves two separate but interdependent efforts: the efficient collection of meaningful measures of the population’s risk ...

Population Monitoring of the Coelacanth ( Latimeria chalumnae )

Conservation Biology, 1998
In 1991 the population size of the coelacanth (   Latimeria chalumnae ) on Grande Comore Island, Western Indian Ocean, was estimated at 230–650 individuals, based on counts of individually recognized fish in an 8‐km stretch of coastline.

A: The genetic monitoring of primate populations for their conservation

1994
Beyond the biotic and abiotic attributes of the habitat, the social behavior and the social experiences of individuals during their infancy are central for the survival of many primate species in the wild. The social organization of groups within primate species can also influence the extent to which a species is endangered by man-made environmental ...

Rangeland Monitoring and Wildlife Populations

Arid Land Research and Management, 2003
The capability of agricultural producers to monitor the condition and trend of the rangelands on which they operate should not be limited to plant communities. The purpose of this article is to underscore the importance of monitoring wildlife populations and their critical habitats.
