Nepal has committed itself to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), 2000. Since then, Nepal has gone through many transformations: an armed conflict has ended; a monarchy has been abolished; the creation of a democracy has begun; a constituent assembly elected, dissolved and second constituent assembly elected; abortion has been legalized. However, while there has been a move towards equality and democracy, the status of women still remains a concern.
While Nepal has been commended for its National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 and 1820, women’s inclusion in peace-building and transitional justice is still not deemed a priority.

Standardization of rates by Dr. Basil TumainiBasil Tumaini
Standardization of rates by Dr. Basil Tumaini, presented during the residency at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Epidemiology class
During 2014, ILC-UK, supported by specialist insurance company, Partnership Assurance Group plc (Partnership), is undertaking a series of events to explore the relationship between our changing demography and public policy.
The second event in the series will explore how much we really know about life expectancy at the highest ages. How many of us are living to 90 and beyond? Why have estimates of life expectancy required revision? What does this tell us about increasing longevity? And what does this trend mean for public policy and long-term population planning?
Deaths from Alzheimer's disease, dementia and senility in England
09 November 2010 - National End of Life Care Intelligence Network (NEoLCIN)
Between 2001 and 2009, there were 631,078 deaths (approximately 15% of all deaths recorded in England over the same period) for which one or more of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, senility were mentioned on death certificates.
The analyses in this report are based on deaths of people who were usually resident in England died with Alzheimer's disease, dementia or senility recorded on their death certificates.
The trend analyses are based on deaths registered in the years 2001 to 2009.
The demographic profiles and cause of death analyses are based on deaths registered from 2007 to 2009.
PRIVATE AGE ADJUSTMENTWhen analyzing epidemiologic dat.docxsleeperharwell
PRIVATE
AGE ADJUSTMENT
When analyzing epidemiologic data, researchers often wish to adjust for the influence of some variable so that the "true" effect of other variables can be seen more clearly. Consider the example of a study to determine if gray hair is related to mortality risk. Two statements stand out in this study:
1. People with gray hair have a higher death rate when compared to other people.
2. People with gray hair are older than others people.
Because of this second statement the meaning of statement one is obscure. The possible link between gray hair and mortality risk is confused by the effect of age on mortality risk. Age is considered a confounding factor that needs to be accounted for to accurately assess the impact of gray hair on mortality rates. Epidemiologists use many tools to sort through information and overcome this confusion of information by adjusting data. The purpose of data adjustment is to disentangle the relationship so that we can evaluate a variables effect free from confusion and distortion. For the gray hair investigation, adjustment would permit us to determine whether persons of the same age who have gray hair have different mortality risks. (Sempos 1989)
Confounding Variables
Confounding variables are variables whose effects confuse the true relationships between factors and diseases. This is why there is a need for data adjustment. In order for a variable to be considered a confounding variable, it must be related to the disease or condition of interest and to the risk factor being investigated (Miettinen 1970). But if the possible confounding variable is truly related only to the disease of interest, it may still be desirable to adjust for it (Mantel 1986). One reason is the adjustment could possibly reduce the sampling variance of the comparison that is being investigated.
Adjustments
A common example of data adjustment is the age adjustment of mortality rates. While the age adjustment technique is most often applied to mortality (death) rates, it could also be applied to incidence of disease, prevalence, or any other kind of proportional rates. Age adjustment allows comparison of mortality risk for various groups free from the distortion of one group having a different age distribution than another. There are two types of age adjustments in relation to mortality rates -- direct and indirect age adjustments.
Direct Adjustment
Direct adjustment, or direct standardization, is to superimpose the age distribution of a standard population on the two study groups to be compared. Standardized rates are then calculated for each population, making use of the standard age distribution. These adjusted rates are then compared, and any difference between them can no longer be due to difference in age distribution because age has been taken into account. The direct method uses two inputs called age-specific rates and standard population.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. About this summary
• The summary was prepared by staff at the Hunter Institute of
Mental Health to inform national communication activities under
the Mindframe National Media Initiative.
• A full summary of data can be found on the Mindframe website at
www.mindframe-media.info/for-media/reporting-suicide/facts-
and-stats
• Mindframe reminds media and communication professionals
accessing this summary of the need to be responsible and accurate
when reporting on or communicating about suicide.
• Resources to support reporting and professional communication
are available at www.mindframe-media.info
3. About this summary
• This is a summary of suicide death data released by the Australian
Bureau of Statistics (ABS), released on 28 September 2016 in
Catalogue 3303.0.
• This summary represents major trends in the 2015 (preliminary)
data, trends by age group over time and state variations.
• As the release of the 2015 preliminary data was earlier than
previous years, the data shown here represents 2013 (first revision)
and both 2014 and 2015 preliminary data. The first revision of 2014
and final revision of 2013 data will be available in early 2017.
4. Notes about using statistics
• The gap between preliminary and subsequent revisions, has been
closing due to the ABS receiving information faster from coronial
processes in each state and territory.
• ABS advises that care should be taken in comparing 2015 data with:
– Previous years, as some data has been subject to a quality
improvement process;
– Pre-2006 data as this data was not subject to the revision
process.
• Due to the relatively small numbers of suicides in some states and
territories, even one or two deaths can have a significant impact on
standardised suicide rates. Thus comparisons across Australia must
be done cautiously.
5. General summary
There were 3,027 deaths
due to suicide in 2015 at
an age-specific rate of 12.7
per 100,000.
This equates to and
average of 8.3 deaths by
suicide in Australia each
day.
About 76% of those who
died by suicide were male,
a ratio of more than 3:1.
There were 2,292 male
deaths at a age-specific
rate of 19.4 per 100,000.
There were 735 female
deaths at a age-specific
rate of 6.2 per 100,000.
Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples are
approximately twice as
likely to die by suicide
than non-Indigenous
people.
In 2015, there were 152
Aboriginal and Torres strait
Islander people who died
by suicide, at a rate of 25.5
per 100,000.
While age-specific suicide rates are lower than the most recent peak in 1997 (14.6 per
100,000) they have increased between 2013 (10.9 per 100,000), 2014 (12.2 per 100,000)
and 2015 (12.7 per 100,000).
