The document summarizes the current state of tuberculosis (TB) control efforts in the Philippines. It outlines that TB prevalence and mortality rates have declined significantly from 1990 to 2015. However, challenges remain in fully detecting and treating all TB cases, including multi-drug resistant TB and TB occurring in high-risk populations. The Philippine Coalition Against TB (PhilCAT) plays an important role in supporting TB control through activities like education and training, advocacy, and involvement in program planning and policymaking.
This document discusses reducing antibiotic usage on Dutch pig farms. It begins by explaining why antibiotic reduction is important due to increasing antibiotic resistance. The goal was to reduce antibiotic usage by 50% from 2008-2013. Several case studies are presented that demonstrate how farms reduced antibiotic usage through strategies like improving vaccination programs, using alternative treatments, improving herd health monitoring, and focusing on overall farm management improvements. The results showed significant reductions in antibiotic usage and improvements in pig health and productivity on farms that implemented these strategies.

This document evaluates transition scenarios to increase participation in breast cancer screening in France for women aged 50 to 74. It analyzes switching the full population to an organized screening program (OS) compared to the current mix of OS and opportunistic screening (OPPS). Five transition scenarios are modeled: stopping OPPS coverage, adding OPPS quality controls, changing OS operations, adjusting fees, and providing incentives to healthcare practitioners. Full conversion to OS could detect an additional 283 cancers at a lower total cost compared to current practice but relies on high patient transfer rates and low withdrawal rates from screening. Combining incentives for practitioners with stopping OPPS coverage may be most effective if behavioral assumptions can be validated. Further research is needed on patient behaviors, OP
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 4th Merial Swine Forum on limiting antibiotic use in the Danish pig industry.
1) Denmark has significantly reduced antibiotic use in livestock over the past 20 years through a combination of banning antibiotics for growth promotion, implementing prescription-only rules, and launching a "Yellow Card" program with herd-level antibiotic usage thresholds.
2) The Yellow Card program resulted in an initial 25% reduction in antibiotic usage among herds that exceeded limits. Strict supervision and potential penalties encouraged compliance.
3) While output measures like mortality and growth were temporarily impacted after antibiotic withdrawal, Danish pig farmers have maintained productivity through increased vaccination, improved management practices, and prudent antibiotic stewardship.

This document discusses using a system dynamics modeling approach to analyze the economic impacts of Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks in Kenya. The proposed model would integrate epidemiological modeling of RVF spread with economic modeling of the livestock value chain. Preliminary results show the model can simulate the effects of an RVF outbreak on livestock populations with and without vaccination. The integrated model aims to help analyze how RVF outbreaks influence livestock productivity and demand, and how various intervention policies could change their effects. It requires epidemiological, economic and value chain data to fully parameterize.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Presented at the 13th conference of the International Society of
Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE), Maastricht,
Netherlands, 20-24 August 2012
2. Introduction: Rift Valley fever
• Mosquito borne viral zoonosis, Africa and Middle East
• Epizootics, every 3-15 years
• Last two outbreaks in Eastern Africa: 1997-98, 2006-07
• Higher than normal rainfall, prolonged flooding, after a prolonged
drought
• Mosquito to animals
• Infected animal and animal products to people
• Impacts: economy wide
• Livestock
• Mortality; morbidity; trade bans, control costs
• Public health
• Mortality, morbidity and control costs
13th ISVEE- Maastricht, Netherlands
3. Objective: CBA (livestock sector) and CEA (public health) of RVF control
options, period: 2006-2015, assumed outbreak in 2014/2015
Approach: Step 3: Identification of
Step 1: alternate prevention
Transmission (SEIR) Model: strategies, simulation, by
(poster 08.74, MSc, Fuhrimann ) farming systems, for high
risk areas (20.2/65 million
Livestock animals)

Step 4: CBA & CEA:
RVF impact •Mortality (RVF and other)
Control •Milk loss (drought,
mesures RVF(abortions and
reductions),other abortions
Step 2: •RVF Market effects, control

5. Strategies
• Vaccination Schemes
• Baseline = 2008 – 2014, coverage 4-7% sheep and goats
only,
• Option 1 = 2 mass vaccinations 2012 (41-51%); 2013 (28-
33%); 4 species; ear tag & monitor 3 years
• Option 2 = 1 mass vaccination 2012 (41-51%); annual
vaccination of young animals only ( 6-11%); 4 species; ear
tag
• Enhanced surveillance from 2012, shorter reaction time (delay of 3
weeks from 6 weeks in 2007)
• Larvicidal –limited application; reduce infection pressure by 7.5%
• Pour-on treatments; 10% of susceptible animals (without ear tags);
3 applications; delay of 4 weeks; 6 weeks protection

• 8 years:1 RVF outbreak, 3 droughts & 3 normal years
• RVF impacts are relatively lower,
• Likely to be overlooked in the on going resilience building livestock

•Quantify the human

12. Additional analysis
• The other two farming systems
• Sensitivity analysis
• Apply Social Accounting Matrix to estimate
economy wide impacts of RVF under
different control strategies
13th ISVEE- Maastricht, Netherlands
13. Conclusions
• This analysis more or less show that unless control measures are
stepped up, the next RVF epizootic is likely to have devastating
impacts.
• The current baseline vaccination of 4-7% of small ruminants
would barely have any impacts on reducing magnitude
• Increasing vaccination coverage for all species would yield
significant reductions in outbreak magnitude
• RVF epidemics have significant impacts, but higher impacts are
attributed to other causes.
• Need for tools to address market level impacts e.g. food safety
credibility and safe slaughter systems.
