Plans for the online 2021 Census with increased use of administrative and sur...
The document discusses plans for the 2021 UK Census, which will be primarily online. It will include increased use of administrative data and surveys to supplement the census. The 2021 Census design involves delivering an online questionnaire, follow-up of non-respondents, processing and analyzing collected data, and disseminating outputs. Administrative data could help improve address registers, replace some collected characteristics, and enhance census outputs. The overall goal is to conduct a high-quality 2021 Census while pursuing more integrated and continuous population statistics in the future.
Delivering early benefits and trial outputs using administrative data
Following the Government’s endorsement of the National Statistician’s recommendation on ‘The census and future provision of population statistics in England and Wales’, the ONS Beyond 2011 Programme has been closed and replaced by the new Census Transformation Programme. The new programme is focusing on developing the strategies and plans needed for delivery of the following major strands of work:- • an online census in 2021; • integrated statistical outputs that make use of administrative data and surveys in conjunction with the census; • a recommendation for the future provision of population statistics beyond 2021. Strand 3 continues with research carried out in the Beyond 2011 Programme exploring the potential of administrative data and surveys as a future alternative to traditional Census taking beyond 2021. Building upon the concept of ‘Statistical Population Datasets’ derived through anonymous linkage of multiple administrative sources, the ONS plans to release a series of annual ‘trial output’ statistics to deliver early benefits and engage users with the development and evaluation of methods. ‘Trial outputs’ are intended to illustrate what might be realised from administrative data, in particular the range and frequency of outputs, and the potential for small area statistics. The first release will focus on local authority population counts at age/sex level. Subsequent annual releases will aspire to produce smaller area population counts and additional outputs on households, income and ethnicity, subject to data access and quality. This presentation will outline ONS plans to deliver trial outputs in the run up to the 2021 Census.

This document discusses evaluating the feasibility of using administrative data for population statistics from the UK census. It outlines some key issues with using administrative data like coverage lags, definitional differences, and changes to administrative processes. The document presents ONS's framework for assessing data quality which involves comparing administrative sources to census estimates and linking records across sources. Examples show differences in population counts between administrative data and census estimates can arise from lags in administrative data updating locations as well as list cleaning exercises. Producing household statistics from administrative sources also poses challenges due to limited address and relationship information.

Richard Verifying Election Results (Ndi)
This document discusses using statistics, databases, and mobile phones to enhance election monitoring through parallel vote tabulation (PVT). PVT involves citizens independently collecting official results from individual polling stations, transmitting the data via SMS to a central database, and analyzing the aggregated data to verify official results or suggest the true outcome. The document outlines how statistics can focus monitoring, databases can manage monitor and observation data, and SMS can speed information sharing. It provides an example of CODEO/CDD-Ghana's successful 2008 presidential election PVT that sampled 1,070 polling stations and transmitted 90% of observer data via SMS.

GfK has been appointed the new provider of radio audience measurement in Australia, replacing Nielsen. Some key changes and enhancements GfK will implement from 2014 include adopting a multi-mode methodology using both paper diaries and e-diaries collected via smartphone, tablet, and PC. GfK will also utilize CAPI tablets and automated processes to improve data quality and fieldwork efficiency. Additional insights into radio listeners will be provided through an ongoing study of 5,000 respondents per year. Advertisers and industry members will have improved access to ratings data through mobile apps and a new dedicated website, while choice of analysis software is expanded.
Linking PEPFAR Data To Gis Inglis
The document discusses linking PEPFAR reporting data to geographic information systems (GIS) to improve health programs in Kenya's Nyanza province. It describes how M&E officers were trained to link PEPFAR data to GIS datasets to produce maps showing counseling and testing uptake. These maps revealed areas with low uptake and informed interventions to address challenges. Comparing maps from before and after interventions showed improvements in many sites, demonstrating how data visualization through GIS can help evaluate programs and guide decision making.
Newborn programme updates
The document summarizes updates from a meeting of the Newborn Screening Programme, including:
1) Issues with quality assurance checks not being completed correctly and updated guidance and standard operating procedures being developed.
2) Training funding available for the Health Screener Qualification in 2017-18 and responsibilities for skills assessments transferring to regional/local levels.
3) Three newborn screening programs working with IT providers to review mapping of birth records and resolve issues with home and private births.

This document summarizes the results of support provided to district planning, monitoring and evaluation, and district-level partner coordination in Malawi's health sector. Key achievements included supporting national and district-level planning workshops, reviewing district implementation plans, and improving data quality and use for decision making. As a result, new planning guidelines were developed, data quality indicators doubled or increased, and partner coordination improved in several districts. Moving forward, successful district practices could be shared, and greater focus on gender is still needed in planning.

Data mashups skyhook
Skyhook's Location Platform provides precision positioning at a global scale using a variety of data sources. It collects sensor data from over 1 billion points including WiFi access points and cell towers across more than 200 countries. This data covers over 850 million people and results in many billions of location transactions per month. Skyhook fuses data from proprietary scanning devices, consumer devices, and third-party sources. It applies techniques such as detecting pathological data, characterizing source quality, and building algorithms to handle variable quality data. The system also continuously reviews and refreshes its data and algorithms to account for changes over time.
8 phe monitoring
The document discusses monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of public health projects. It provides examples of M&E plans that include objectives, interventions, indicators, targets, data collection methods, frequencies, and responsibilities. Specifically, it shows how to develop a monitoring plan by determining what to monitor, how to collect data, who is involved, resources needed, and creating a workplan. It also distinguishes between monitoring and evaluation and provides templates to plan for monitoring achievement of outputs and progress toward objectives. The key aspects of M&E planning discussed are tying indicators to objectives and interventions, establishing data collection methods and responsibilities, and monitoring on a regular basis to track progress.
M&e swg-presentation
The document discusses using data in planning and monitoring & evaluation at the district level in Ghana's Northern Region. It notes that data is important but not being effectively utilized currently. It proposes a coordinated, integrated approach to data collection and use across multiple existing systems to help with medium-term planning, annual action planning, project monitoring, and trend analysis. This would involve indicator and project monitoring databases to inform priority-setting.
Session 7 d dutch revisioniariw
Statistics Netherlands implemented a comprehensive revision of the Dutch National Accounts to comply with new international guidelines. This involved 200 revision projects and a heavy resource burden. The benchmark year was 2010, showing GDP increased 7.6% (3.0% from guidelines, 4.6% from new data). Public debt to GDP ratio was revised down from 63.4% to 59.0%. To communicate the results, Statistics Netherlands developed a publication strategy including early background documents, briefing key users in advance, and maintaining close contact with users after releasing the benchmark results in March and full results in June. The strategy helped ensure mostly factual and positive media coverage.

Sustainable intensification tradeoff and synergies
This document discusses sustainable intensification in African agriculture. It notes that increasing production sustainably involves complex tradeoffs across social, economic, environmental, and other domains. The document proposes a framework for assessing these tradeoffs using indicators at different scales. Key tradeoffs mentioned include balancing short-term production against long-term sustainability, and reconciling competing needs around issues like land and resource use between different groups. The framework is intended to help identify tradeoffs, evaluate technologies, and monitor community impacts over time to support more sustainable agricultural intensification in Africa.

Adapting Data Quality Assurance Approaches and Tools to Meet Local Needs
Presented by Stephanie Mullen, Suzanne Cloutier and Karen Foreit at the MEASURE Evaluation End-of-Phase-III Event.
Improving quality of admin data
The document discusses the Quality Assurance of Administrative Data (QAAD) toolkit developed by the UK Statistics Authority.
The toolkit provides a framework to understand and improve the quality of administrative data used for official statistics. It includes a risk/profile matrix to assess quality concerns and public interest, and identifies four practice areas associated with data quality - operational context, communication, suppliers' QA processes, and producers' QA.
The framework has been applied across the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to improve quality assurance for statistics such as UK Trade, population statistics, and the census. It has helped enhance communication with data suppliers and document quality processes.
M-E systems.ppt
This document discusses establishing and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems for national tuberculosis programs. It identifies the key elements of a comprehensive M&E system including management, goals and objectives, indicators, data collection, analysis and dissemination. It describes a 5 step process to develop an M&E system: 1) situation analysis, 2) develop an M&E plan, 3) establish an M&E unit, 4) implement the plan, and 5) establish quality control mechanisms. The document emphasizes linking the M&E system to program goals, collecting complete data, building human capacity, and using data for decision making.
Training on data collection 1
This document provides an overview of data collection tools training. It defines monitoring and evaluation as the continuous collection and analysis of project data to track progress for monitoring, and the measurement of project objectives and impact for evaluation. The key points are:
- Monitoring involves ongoing data collection to track project implementation and outcomes, while evaluation assesses overall impact and whether objectives were achieved.
- Together, monitoring and evaluation provide strategic information for decision-making through collecting and analyzing quality data.
- Effective monitoring and evaluation systems select indicators, collect data, analyze information, report findings, and use insights to improve work.

Measuring National M&E System Strengthening in Nigeria: Application of the Mo...
This document summarizes a study that used the Most Significant Change technique to measure strengthening of Nigeria's national M&E system from 2007-2012. Key stakeholders identified several most significant changes, including the harmonization of indicators to improve reporting, improved data quality through training, states now analyzing and using data, and the evolution of paper-based information systems to an integrated electronic system. These most significant changes were then verified through interviews and workshops to understand how the M&E system in Nigeria was strengthened over that period.
Building New Institutional Capacity in M&E: The Experience of National AIDS C...
The document discusses capacity building efforts of the National AIDS Coordinating Authority of Nigeria to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems. It describes how various assessment tools were used to identify gaps and priorities for strengthening data quality, monitoring, and evaluation. Specific interventions included the M&E Strengthening and Sustainability Toolkit, data quality assessments, training, and quarterly mentoring to build capacity at national and regional levels. The efforts helped establish standardized data collection and reporting, improve data quality and use, and create institutional memory to support effective HIV/AIDS programs.
Review of the sustainability checks in UNICEF’s WASH programmes: key findings
UNICEF has carried out sustainability checks of their water and sanitation programmes in East and West Africa, and in Asia. This presentation reviews what these checks have in common, the methods used and disparities in data aggregation. Key results for water supply (functionality rates and service provider performance) and sanitation (latrine functionality and open defecation) are provided. It concludes with an overview of the impact of conducting sustainability checks and recommendations on the methodology and and use. Presented by Julia Boulenouar (Aguaconsult) at the IRC Event "Checking and monitoring sustainability of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services" in The Hague, The Netherlands on 16 November 2016,
SQAS NIPE update Pam Tarn
The document provides an update on the quality assurance operating model for newborn and infant physical examination screening in the North region of England. It discusses the aims of the quality assurance service to deliver consistent processes, provide support to providers, and ensure screening programs meet high standards of quality and safety.

This document summarizes two assessments conducted by Africa RISING on sustainable intensification and return on investment from 2011-2020. It finds that:
1) The total value of direct benefits to farmers was $74.6 million, while the total project cost was $15.9 million, resulting in a return on investment of 469%.
2) An assessment of progress towards sustainable intensification analyzed households by total production per hectare and compared indicators across five domains. It found that more intensified households showed improved scores in agricultural production, economics, environment, human welfare, and social indicators.

Nutrition assessment 2021
The document summarizes the results of a nutrition assessment study and lessons learned from it. The study aimed to identify how Africa RISING interventions contributed to household nutrition. It used a qualitative research approach with key informant interviews and focus group discussions in Ethiopia. The results showed that the interventions helped to produce and consume a more diverse and nutritious diet, generate income, and improve knowledge of food production and preparation. However, diet diversity remained low and certain nutrient-rich foods were still limited. Key lessons were that technical nutrition support needs frequent follow-ups, and engaging community leaders and husbands is important for influencing mothers' nutrition practices.
Scaling assessment 2021
The document discusses plans for scaling assessment of Africa RISING interventions. It notes that Africa RISING's second phase focused on scaling approaches through recruiting scaling partners, training of trainers, multi-stakeholder meetings, and research backstopping. The assessment aims to document scaling practices, identify areas for increased support, and develop an exit strategy as the program period concludes. It will use ILRI's scaling framework over six months to provide a technical report and scientific paper.

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification.

counterparts, and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.
