An Interrupted Time Series Multivariate Regression Analysis Evaluation of State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) by Whitney Bowman-Zatzkin, MPA, MSR
As health insurance premiums continue to rise, the ability of many families to provide the critical health coverage to their children (both preventative and emergency) becomes an even greater challenge. In a study released in February 2005 in the Journal of Health Affairs, researchers found that half of those surveyed listed medical bills as the reason for their bankruptcy filings, with 75.7 percent of that half citing issues with health insurance during the illness resulting in the grandiose bills (Himmelstein, 2005). Figures released in 1997 from the Census Bureau reported a minimum of 10.7 million non-insured children within the United States (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1997). The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) was developed to address these concerns.
SCHIP has been implemented as a supplemental Medicaid program for eligible children based on financial need. The original focus of SCHIP was to provide healthcare coverage to all children from birth to six years of age and having family incomes up to 133 percent of the Federal poverty level (FPL) while also covering children age six and over with family incomes at or above 100 percent of FPL. The goal was to have all children living below established poverty levels and under the age of 19 eligible for coverage by September 2002.
States could choose from the following implementation options.
1. Use SCHIP funding and expand their established Medicaid program to accommodate a larger percentage of children (Expansion Program).
2. Create a program for a new bracket of uninsured children, separate from Medicaid (New Program).
3. Combine the established Medicaid program with a new program offering separate enrollment options (Combination).
States are permitted to divert funds from other resources to provide healthcare to children under very loosely defined parameters. At the time, there was no children’s healthcare program with the strength and financial backing of SCHIP.
This paper evaluates the success of the SCHIP program and whether the choice of implementation design influences its success. SCHIP is currently under consideration for reauthorization making such an evaluation very timely. This paper proceeds as follows. First, I provide background about the SCHIP program. Next, I describe my research design and methods. Then I discuss my findings. Finally, I conclude with a discussion of my results.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
OECD Well-being and Mental Health Conference, Franco Fernandez Fleming, Ministry of Social Development and Family, Chile
1. Undersecretary of Social Evaluation
Ministry of Social Development and Family
December 2021
Measuring population mental health (PHQ-4):
Social Well-being survey and Social Survey Covid-19
2. Context
• In October 2019 a social crisis started promoted by a general feeling of
social injustice and low well-being
• Low poverty – high income: What data wasn’t telling us?
• Up to that moment, the main survey (Household Survey - Casen) was
centred on measuring material conditions
• Official measure of poverty, income and multidimensional
• Official measure of income distribution
• Scarce information of well-being
• Different surveys but disperse
• In November 2019 the Ministry begins a process constructing a new and
permanent survey to measure social well-being.
3. How to measure social well-being?
• The ministry developed a model based on the OECD’s How’s life?
documents and Sen’s Capability approach.

EBS: subsample of Casen in
order be able to combine
both sources of
information.
4. Health as a key dimension of Well-being
• Along with the definitions provided by the OECD the ministry got
together with other public agencies to define what and how “Health”
ought to be measured.
• The first plan was to use the PHQ-9, as it has been used and validated in
Chile
But…
5. Covid-19: Implications
• Restrictions forced us to revisit Casen’s implementation (Nov. 2020 to
Jan. 2021)
• From face-to-face to telephone-based survey: Reduction of questionnaire with
focus on official poverty measure.
• Exclusion of questions that literature warns about potential bias when not done
face-to-face (e.g. reports on housing conditions)
• Urgency of collecting information about the pandemic’s social impact
before Casen:
• United Nations Development Programme helped us to design a new survey:
Social Survey Covid-19 carried out with the National Institute of Statistics.

same scale was used
7. Mental health relates to all other dimensions
HIGHER PREVALENCE OF MENTAL PROBLEMS
(ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION) IN:
20.8% 25.8% 23.5% 28.8%
People that
experiencied
financial
insecurity. (Vs.
8.5%)
Workers with a job
with limited
opportunities. (Vs.
10.3%)
Workers with limited
options due to their
schooling level (Vs.
9.3%)
People with less
networks (Vs.
13.7%)
Some results (SWS)
8. Final remarks
• No problems with unanswered questions (PHQ-4) both in SSCovid 19 nor the
SWS.
• Higher levels of anxiety and depression for women over men across all surveys which
requires further analysis
• SWS also includes questions that are use to construct an Affective Balance
indicator
• Given the permanent nature of the new SWS (every two years after Casen)
and the correlation of mental health with other dimensions of social well-
being, we expect to be able to keep the PHQ-4 in the future.
• Results, documents, dataset and questionnaires for all surveys can be found
