Essential Package of Health Services Country Snapshot: AfghanistanHFG Project
Resource Type: Brief
Authors: Jenna Wright
Published: May 2015
Resource Description:
An Essential Package of Health Services (EPHS) can be defined as the package of services that the government is providing or is aspiring to provide to its citizens in an equitable manner. Essential packages are often expected to achieve multiple goals: improved efficiency, equity, political empowerment, accountability, and altogether more effective care. There is no universal essential package of health services that applies to every country in the world.
This country snapshot is one in a series of 24 snapshots as part of an activity looking at the Governance Dimensions of Essential Packages of Health Services in the Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Death priority countries. The snapshot explores several important dimensions of the EPHS in the country, such as how government policies contribute to the service coverage, population coverage, and financial coverage of the package. Each country snapshot includes annexes that contain further information about the EPHS.
Afghanistan has a clearly defined EPHS, which includes a Basic Package of Health Services and an Essential Package of Hospital Services. The Ministry of Public Health first ratified the BPHS in March 2003, and revised it in 2005 and again in 2010. The purpose of the BPHS is to ensure that all primary health care facilities deliver a standardized package of basic services.
Fizza Malik's presentation discussed the effects of Indian, Turkish, and American media on religion, language, and dressing in various cultures. It addressed how bold scenes in foreign media are reflected in local media and the impacts on children, youngsters, and influence on weddings. The presentation concluded by stating steps should be taken to preserve culture.
Trees cause power outages during ice storms. This presentation shows the impacts of ice on trees, how trees fail, and suggests says to avoid damage and power outages. This is the first part of a two-part slide show.
A person was walking home and thinking of design ideas for 3D printing when they had an idea to 3D print DNA for clients. They believe 3D printing DNA could be a massive business opportunity. The benefits of 3D printing DNA were considered.
Once you get used to use Scala's bigger toolbox it will strike you how much a Java programmer has to please the language instead of solving the problems at hand. But even if your organisation forces you to use Java, learning Scala will change the way you swing your Golden Java Hammer. You'll start to mimic programming concepts that Scala smoothly introduces in your Java code and have pain that some can't be achieved easily. Immutable instances, small methods without side-effects and small classes are signs of a programmer thinking in Scala, even though Java makes it slightly harder to program that way.
The pain comes when you got used to Scala's ways of object composition and the often cited closures.
Java let's you do the same things - if you really want to. Java's boilerplate code will hide what you try to achieve. Achieving programming concepts you have at hand with Scala in pure Java does rarely bear its weight.
In this talk we'll go through some of the things a Scala-trained programmer will start to use in Java. We'll look at the things you can achieve easily and show examples for when you'll miss Scala. A lot.

Este documento presenta el informe de Perú para el VII Foro Mundial del Agua en Corea del 2015. Aborda 7 temas principales: agua y saneamiento para todos, agua y energía, agua y seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, adaptación al cambio climático y gestión de riesgos, gestión de ecosistemas para los seres humanos y la naturaleza, gobernanza y financiamiento para la sostenibilidad, y ciencia y tecnología del agua. Para cada tema, analiza los avances desde el Foro Mund
This document introduces a new product called bar code lenses that could help people with color blindness or other eye issues by allowing them to read bar codes with their eyes. The lenses would undergo light tests to ensure they work properly and safely. Next steps involve studying eyes further, describing customer needs, linking product features to those needs, analyzing costs and advantages over competitors, and outlining the product's strengths before taking further action.

Is Emetophobia different from Anorexia Nervosa?Emanuel Mian
Paper presented at 2008 Alpbach Conference by Dr.Emanuel Mian, PhD-Psychologist and CBT therapist.
INTRODUCTION:Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting or to see others doing the same. Sufferers are also scared of nausea because of its strong link with vomiting. Emetophobics pay great attention to every gastrointestinal symptom and refuse to consume foods with fats or carbohydrates needing continuos reassurances on food content and avoiding social occasions where they are pushed to eat. This behaviour quickly force them to stear to underweight and many are often wrongly diagnosed as having an Eating Disorder mainly Anorexia Nervosa.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences between Emeophobia and Anorexia Nervosa patients.
METHOD:Nineteen (19) women with Emetophobia (EPH) and twenty (20) women with Anorexia Nervosa Restricting Type (ANR) of the same age were recruited and randomly selected from an outpatients group at the beginning of treatment. They were subministered the Eating Disorders Inventory (Gardner et al, 1993), the Symptoms Checklist 90 (Derogatis, Lipman & Covi, 1973), the Body Attitude Test (Probst et al, 1995) and the Rosenberg Self Esteem Test (Rosenberg, 1965).
RESULTS: EPH patients had significant higher scores in EDI Ineffectiveness, BAT Lack of Familiarity (factor 2), SLC90 Paranoid Ideation and RSE Total Score while ANR patients had higher scores in EDI Drive for Thinness, Body Dissatisfaction, Enteroceptive Awareness, SCL90 Interpersonal Sensitivity, Anxiety, BAT Total and Body Dissatisfaction.
CONCLUSION: More research is required to explore the distinctive eating patterns and body image issues in order to discriminate these two distinct psycopathologies
El pueblo de Soses se encontraba sitiado y sus habitantes estaban muriendo de hambre. Los gobernantes querían rendirse entregando la vara de mando, pero un alfarero propuso usar las cuatro vasijas de oro de la sala del trono que, según la leyenda, podían multiplicar lo que contenían. Pusieron un grano de trigo en cada vasija y cuando las volcaron en las murallas, empezaron a salir chorros interminables de grano que alimentaron al pueblo y forzaron al ejército enem
