Abstract:
e18097 Background: Appediceal cancers (AC) are rare, and often found on appendectomies. Adenocarcinomas represents approximately two-thirds of all AC. We performed the analysis of SEER database to understand the overall incidence and survival trends. Methods: We analyzed SEER database: Incidence - SEER 18 RegsResearch Data + Hurricane Katrina Impacted Louisiana Cases, Nov 2015 Sub (1973-2013 varying). Cases diagnosed of AC between 1988 and 2013 were identified. Trend of incidence rate was calculated. Relative survival rates (RSR) were calculated stratified by age, gender, race, stage, histological subtypes which were divided into mucinous, non-mucinous and signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). We calculated survival difference for patient diagnosed before and after 2000. Results: Age adjusted incidence rate of appendiceal adenocarcinoma was 0.4 cases per 100,000 person years. Overall incidence rate increased on average 3.7% per 100,000 person years (P < 0.05). The highest increase was seen in SRCC (4.8% per 100,000 person years). Survival was worst in SRCC (5 years RSR-28.40%) compared to other types (5 year RSR- 61.0% and 52.90% for mucinous and non-mucinous carcinoma (P < 0.01). Survival significantly improved for patients diagnosed after 2000 for mucinous (5 years RSR -51.90% and 64.30%) and SRCC (5 year RSR-18.0% and 31.0%), respectively before and after 2000 in each category. No improvement in survival was found in non-mucinous carcinomas since 2000. While survival among different histological types was not different for localized disease, it was significantly better for regional or distant stages in mucinous cancers when compared to non-mucinous cancers (P < 0.01). Elderly patient ( > 65 years) showed significantly poor survival for mucinous and non-mucinous carcinomas, while there was no variation in survival based on age for SRCC. Moreover, females showed significantly poor survival (P < 0.05) compared to males for SRCC, while no variation in survival based on gender for other types. Survival was not different among different races. Conclusions: Incidence of appendiceal adenocarcinomas is increasing. The highest increase is seen in SRCC which has the worst survival. Survival from mucinous adenocarcinomas has improved significantly in last decade.

Abstract:
Introduction: Although the global incidence of non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC) is decreasing, there are limited data on sex-specific incidence in the United States. This study aimed to investigate time trends of NCGC from the SEER database to externally validate findings in a SEER-independent national database, and to further assess trends among subpopulations. Methods: Age-adjusted incidence rates of NCGC were obtained from the SEER database from 2000 to 2018. We used joinpoint models to calculate average annual percentage change (AAPC) to determine sex-specific trends among older (≥55 years) and younger adults (15–54 years). Using the same methodology, findings were then externally validated using SEER-independent data from the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). Stratified analyses by race, histopathology, and staging at diagnosis were also conducted in younger adults. Results: Overall, there were 169,828 diagnoses of NCGC from both independent databases during the period 2000–2018. In SEER, among those <55 years, incidence increased at a higher rate in women (AAPC = 3.22%, p < 0.01) than men (AAPC = 1.51%, p = 0.03), with non-parallel trends (p = 0.02), while a decreasing trend was seen in both men (AAPC = −2.16%, p < 0.01) and women (AAPC = −1.37%, p < 0.01) of the ≥55 years group. Validation analysis of the SEER-independent NPCR database from 2001 to 2018 showed similar findings. Further stratified analyses showed that incidence is disproportionately increasing in young non-Hispanic White women [AAPC = 2.28%, p < 0.01] while remaining stable in their counterpart men [AAPC = 0.58%, p = 0.24] with non-parallel trends (p = 0.04). This pattern was not observed in other race groups. Conclusion: NCGC incidence has been increasing at a greater rate in younger women compared to counterpart men. This disproportionate increase was mainly seen in young non-Hispanic White women. Future studies should investigate the etiologies of these trends.

Abstract:
8605 Background: Primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare plasma cell disorder with clinical information limited to small series of patients. Methods: We analyzed the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to evaluate the patient characteristic and survival data for patients with PCL. Patients were divided into cohorts based upon age, gender, race and time period of diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier product limit method was used to estimate survival functions for group in each risk factor. Demographics and survival over different periods of time from 1973 and 2004 were compared with multiple myeloma. Results: Among the 291 patients with PCL, median age was 67 years (range 19–98), and the male/female distribution was equal and the most common race was white (79.4%). Median overall survival (OS) and disease specific survivals (DSS, defined by interval from diagnosis to the event of death from PCL) were 4 months and 6 months respectively. The 1 year, 2 year and 5 year overall survival rates were 22.7%, 10.2% and 3.8% respectively. The survival did not differ between gender and race. Patients ≤60 years had a better median overall survival compared to older patients (median OS: 7 months Vs 3 months, p=0.007), although 5-year overall survival was equally poor for either group (6.9% Vs 6.7%). During the same period, we identified 49,106 patients with MM. Demographics for MM showed a slightly increased median age of 70 years, but similar race and gender distribution. Unlike MM, where there has been a modest but statistically significant survival improvement over time, both OS and DSS remained stable in PCL ( Table ). Conclusions: This is the largest study to analyze demographic and survival data on patients with PCL. The poor long term outcome and the lack of improvement in survival of patients with PCL despite small gains in MM suggest a more aggressive disease, for which further therapeutic agents are needed.

Abstract:
Background The application of China’s big data sector in cancer research is just the beginning. In recent decades, more and more Chinese scholars have used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for clinical cancer research. A comprehensive bibliometric study is required to analyze the tendency of Chinese scholars to utilize the SEER database for clinical cancer research and provide a reference for the future of big data analytics. Objective Our study aimed to assess the trend of publications on clinical cancer research in mainland China from the SEER database. Methods We performed a PubMed search to identify papers published with data from the SEER database in mainland China until August 31, 2020. Results A total of 1566 papers utilizing the SEER database that were authored by investigators in mainland China were identified. Over the past years, significant growth in studies based on the SEER database was observed (P<.001). The top 5 research topics were breast cancer (213/1566, 13.6%), followed by colorectal cancer (185/1566, 11.8%), lung cancer (179/1566, 11.4%), gastrointestinal cancer (excluding colorectal cancer; 149/1566, 9.5%), and genital system cancer (93/1566, 5.9%). Approximately 75.2% (1178/1566) of papers were published from the eastern coastal region of China, and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (Shanghai, China) was the most active organization. Overall, 267 journals were analyzed in this study, of which Oncotarget was the most contributing journal (136/267, 50.9%). Of the 1566 papers studied, 585 (37.4%) were published in the second quartile, 489 (31.2%) in the third quartile, 312 (19.9%) in the first quartile, and 80 (5.1%) in the fourth quartile, with 100 (6.4%) having an unknown Journal Citation Reports ranking. Conclusions Clinical cancer research based on the SEER database in mainland China underwent constant and rapid growth during recent years. High-quality and comprehensive cancer databases based on Chinese demographic data are urgently needed.

Abstract:
Objective To determine whether structural differences in data sampling between the National Cancer Database (NCDB), a non-population-based cancer registry, and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER), a population-based cancer registry, result in differences in patient characteristics or oncologic outcomes. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting NCDB and SEER database. Subjects and Methods Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) were included from 2004 to 2014. The primary outcome, weighted differences in characteristics between the databases, was evaluated for each head and neck subsite (oral cavity [OC], oropharynx [OP], hypopharynx [HP], and larynx [LX]). The secondary outcome measure, overall survival (OS), was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates of survival and Cox proportional hazards (PH) regression modeling. Results In total, 112,007 and 340,420 HNC cases were registered in SEER and the NCDB, respectively. The mean age at diagnosis for the 4 head and neck subsites differed by no more than 1.1 years between the 2 databases. The largest difference in patient or tumor characteristics was the frequency of OC subsite lip cancer (weighted proportional difference, 6.9%; 95% confidence interval, 6.5%-7.3%). Unadjusted KM estimates of 5-year OS differed by no more than 2% (OP, HP, and LX subsites). On Cox PH modeling, adjusted hazard ratios ranged from 0.89 to 0.91 for patients of different head and neck subsites in the NCDB relative to SEER. Conclusions Patients with HNC in the SEER database and NCDB do not greatly differ in terms of demographics, treatment, and survival. Decisions to use either database should be driven by the data fields, which vary between the registries.

Abstract:
Neuroblastoma is considered a pediatric malignancy as over 95% of cases are diagnosed in patients less than or equal to 10years old. This cancer is extremely rare in elderly patients. We conducted a Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database analysis in the USA between 1973-2007 that revealed only 35 elderly patients (>60years of age) with neuroblastoma of whom only 2 patients had primary mediastinal neuroblastoma. There is a paucity of treatment and survival outcomes data for the elderly owing to the rarity of neuroblastoma in this population. Currently there are no standard guidelines or protocols for treatment of adult neuroblastoma. We report a rare and challenging case of an 86-year old patient presenting with mediastinal neuroblastoma and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) successfully treated with resection. Herein, we also provide a review of the literature and updated survival data on neuroblastoma based on results of our SEER database review.

Abstract:
Introduction: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) in the oropharynx is rare. Current understanding of the disease is derived mainly from case reports and small case series, prompting further elucidation of its epidemiology and prognostic factors that affect outcome. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to examine demographic characteristics, clinicopathologic features, and prognostic factors in patients with oropharyngeal LEC. Methods: The U.S. National Cancer Institute’s SEER registry was queried to obtain data on patients with primary oropharyngeal LEC from 1975 to 2016. Variables examined include age at diagnosis, sex, race, year of diagnosis, primary site of tumor origin, tumor size, extent, nodal status, overall stage, tumor grade, surgical treatment, and county socioeconomic status (SES). Kaplan-Meier univariable and Cox regression model multivariable analyses were conducted to identify independent predictors of survival. Results: In total, 199 cases of primary LEC in the oropharynx were found. Overall survival rates at 2-, 5-, and 10-years were 81.0%, 74.0%, and 56.0%, respectively. Disease-specific survival rates at 2-, 5-, and 10-years were 85.0%, 80.0%, and 77.0%, respectively. Multivariable analysis identified older age at diagnosis, Black race, and tonsil primary site to be independent predictors of worse survival. Contrarily, a more recent year of diagnosis, surgical resection, and higher county SES were identified to be associated with an improved prognosis. Conclusion: Oropharyngeal LEC is a rare malignancy that is diagnosed mostly in White males in the fifth decade of life. Patient age, race, year of diagnosis, primary site of tumor origin, surgical treatment, and county SES were found to significantly affect survival. Although oropharyngeal LEC is associated with a relatively favorable prognosis, detecting disease early and including surgical resection in treatment may aid in further improving survival.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur les méthodes basées sur des contraintes. Nous présentons comme exemple l’algorithme PC, pour lequel nous proposons une modification qui garantit la cohérence des ensembles de séparation, utilisés pendant l’étape de reconstruction du squelette pour supprimer les arêtes entre les variables conditionnellement indépendantes, par rapport au graphe final. Elle consiste à itérer l’algorithme d’apprentissage de structure tout en limitant la recherche des ensembles de séparation à ceux qui sont cohérents par rapport au graphe obtenu à la fin de l’itération précédente. La contrainte peut être posée avec une complexité de calcul limitée à l’aide de la décomposition en block-cut tree du squelette du graphe. La modification permet d’augmenter le rappel au prix de la précision des méthodes basées sur des contraintes, tout en conservant une performance globale similaire ou supérieure. Elle améliore également l’interprétabilité et l’explicabilité du modèle graphique obtenu. Nous présentons ensuite la méthode basée sur des contraintes MIIC, récemment développée, qui adopte les idées du cadre du maximum de vraisemblance pour améliorer la robustesse et la performance du graphe obtenu. Nous discutons les caractéristiques et les limites de MIIC, et proposons plusieurs modifications qui mettent l’accent sur l’interprétabilité du graphe obtenu et l’extensibilité de l’algorithme. En particulier, nous mettons en œuvre l’approche itérative pour renforcer la cohérence de l’ensemble de séparation, nous optons pour une règle d’orientation conservatrice et nous utilisons la probabilité d’orientation de MIIC pour étendre la notation des arêtes dans le graphe final afin d’illustrer différentes relations causales. L’algorithme MIIC est appliqué à un ensemble de données d’environ 400 000 dossiers de cancer du sein provenant de la base de données SEER, comme benchmark à grande échelle dans la vie réelle
This thesis is focused on constraint-based methods, one of the basic types of causal structure learning algorithm. We use PC algorithm as a representative, for which we propose a simple and general modification that is applicable to any PC-derived methods. The modification ensures that all separating sets used during the skeleton reconstruction step to remove edges between conditionally independent variables remain consistent with respect to the final graph. It consists in iterating the structure learning algorithm while restricting the search of separating sets to those that are consistent with respect to the graph obtained at the end of the previous iteration. The restriction can be achieved with limited computational complexity with the help of block-cut tree decomposition of the graph skeleton. The enforcement of separating set consistency is found to increase the recall of constraint-based methods at the cost of precision, while keeping similar or better overall performance. It also improves the interpretability and explainability of the obtained graphical model. We then introduce the recently developed constraint-based method MIIC, which adopts ideas from the maximum likelihood framework to improve the robustness and overall performance of the obtained graph. We discuss the characteristics and the limitations of MIIC, and propose several modifications that emphasize the interpretability of the obtained graph and the scalability of the algorithm. In particular, we implement the iterative approach to enforce separating set consistency, and opt for a conservative rule of orientation, and exploit the orientation probability feature of MIIC to extend the edge notation in the final graph to illustrate different causal implications. The MIIC algorithm is applied to a dataset of about 400 000 breast cancer records from the SEER database, as a large-scale real-life benchmark

Full text
Abstract:
Most countries show a relative decoupling of economic growth from domestic resource use, implying increased resource efficiency. However, international trade facilitates the exchange of products between regions with disparate resource productivity. Hence, for an understanding of resource efficiency from a consumption perspective that takes into account the impacts in the upstream supply chains, there is a need to assess the environmental pressures embodied in trade. We use EXIOBASE3, a new multiregional input-output database, to examine the rate of increase in resource efficiency, and investigate the ways in which international trade contributes to the displacement of pressures on the environment from the consumption of a population. We look at the environmental pressures of energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, material use, water use, and land use. Material use stands out as the only indicator growing in both absolute and relative terms to population and gross domestic product (GDP), while land use is the only indicator showing absolute decoupling from both references. Energy, GHG, and water use show relative decoupling. As a percentage of total global environmental pressure, we calculate the net impact displaced through trade rising from 23% to 32% for material use (1995¿2011), 23% to 26% for water use, 20% to 29% for energy use, 20% to 26% for land use, and 19% to 24% for GHG emissions. The results show a substantial disparity between trade-related impacts for Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries. At the product group level, we observe the most rapid growth in environmental footprints in clothing and footwear. The analysis points to implications for future policies aiming to achieve environmental targets, while fully considering potential displacement effects through international trade.

Abstract:
The increasing advance of technological artifacts and new manners of monitoring have become possible to know the origins of the seeds. Using applied technologies and Internet it is possible to store and access data in geographic databases which allow viewing and keeping up with all the accomplished work in the prior years in conjunction with the precision agriculture data and handlings associated to the seeds origin.Web programming tools and databases permit the integration with the data of precise agriculture, resulting in an origin history and production of seeds previously recorded.The application of geotechnologies and the spatial data of sowing places makes possible to verify the existence of agricultural activities in determined area and, at the same time, to use the information stored in the database generated by precise agriculture software of various suppliers. The results of this research can help the initiatives to elaborate projects and full monitoring of agricultural production and seed certification.
Com o crescente avanço de artefatos tecnológicos, novas maneiras de acompanhamento e conhecimento das origens das sementes através de tecnologias aplicadas e disponibilidade na rede mundial de computadores, é possivel armazenar e consultar dados em banco de dados geograficos podendo visualizar e acompanhar todo o trabalho realizado nos anos anteriores juntamente com os dados da agricultura de precisão e aplicações, manejos associados a origem das sementes. A utilização de ferramentas de programação web e banco de dados o qual possibilita uma integração com os resultados da aplicação de técnicas de agricultura de precisão possibilita um histórico da origem e produção de sementes anteriormente registradas. A aplicação das geotecnologias e o registro espacializado dos locais de plantio permite verificar a existência de atividades agronomicas em determinado território, podendo utilizar as informações armazenadas no banco de dados atraves de softwares de agricultura de precisão de diversos fornecedores. Os resultados obtidos pela pesquisa poderão auxiliar às iniciativas para elaboração de projetos e acompanhamento de produção agrícola e certificação de sementes.

Full text
Abstract:
Cervical radicular pain is a common reason for patients in pain to seek care from a pain physician. Differing from low back pain and lumbar radiculopathy, cervical radicular pain is often not related to disc protrusion alone but, rather, a combination of disc and degenerative pathologies, such as uncovertebral hypertrophy and spondylosis. Likewise, the natural history is quite favorable if no treatments are applied, mandating greater safety for the treatments applied. Indeed, the most recent American Society of Anesthesiologists closed claims database report suggests that adverse occurrences from procedural therapies for cervical radicular pain are increasing. This chapter broadly discusses the anatomy, pathophysiology, and various approaches to treatment of these disorders.

Abstract:
This chapter examines advice-seeking by defined contribution plan participants as they approach retirement, focusing upon the categories, correlates, and timing of advice-seeking. The empirical analysis utilizes a large Australian database, identifies the drivers of advice-seeking behavior, and, most importantly, pinpoints age-specific reference points that appear to prompt participants to seek advice about retirement planning from the plan administrator. The authors analyze the patterns of advice-seeking by older participants, focusing upon the topics raised and determinants of advice-seeking discriminating between the effects of age, gender, and account balances on retirement planning. An important aspect of the chapter concerns whether there is evidence of an increasing focus on retirement as participants go from 45–9 years to 65 years or older. Implications are drawn for the design of pension plans as regards their engagement with older participants.

Abstract:
For the past ten years, the prevalence of suicide completions among service members has increased, with rates greatly exceeding those seen within the US civilian population. In response, the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and each branch of the military collaboratively implemented strategic approaches to improving existing suicide prevention programs and invested in the development of innovative programs. These approaches include consolidating suicide event reporting into a central database, reducing the stigma associated with help-seeking behaviors, enhancing resilience among service members, improving aspects impacting service members’ overall quality of life through an expansion of benefits and services, and improving the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being of service members. This article explores the evolution of these suicide risk prevention efforts in consideration of the effectiveness of different strategies used by military branches and veteran programs.

Full text
Abstract:
Drawing on data from the Hyper Usage Guide of English (HUGE) database (Straaijer 2014), this chapter sets the context for the other chapters of the collection by exploring the usage guide as a genre since the earliest publication in 1770. While modern usage guides overlap in form and content with other genres of works about language, there are distinct characteristics that identify them as a separate genre. After this genre had slowly been evolving for 150 years, H. W. Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926) became a model for future publications. However, the usage guide remains a strongly author-driven genre, resulting in much variation in form and content. After continued development and professionalization from the mid-twentieth century onwards, two subtypes within the genre seem to have emerged: one striving for comprehensiveness and the other offering entertaining narrative. This variety may account for the enduring popularity of the genre.

Abstract:
The Vidéothèque de Paris, a video archive of the city’s past that opened in 1988, provides the opportunity to take stock of over a hundred years of putting pictures of Paris’s past at the heart of municipal policy and prestige. While its futuristic viewing pods, robots, and searchable databases seem to predict the future of the Internet, video-sharing platforms, and digital history, the Vidéothèque also reveals how the production and circulation of images are not just windows onto urban change but part and parcel of that history. Photographs shaped the historical imagination in the twentieth century in significant ways. People learned to read photographs as history, while simultaneously believing them to provide transparent, direct access to the past. Photographs forged individual and collective memory. And, their circulation and institutionalization paved the way for arguments about Paris’s reduction to an image or a museum city in the twentieth century.

Full text
Abstract:
When someone poses a yes-no question to another person, norms of conversation kick in, and a wide yet bounded possibility space of responses emerges. This book relies on a large database of spontaneous naturally occurring recordings of conversations in English to first examine the questions that occasion responses and then to focus on the main response types—non-answer and answer responses. This allows one to identify the dimensions that provide the response possibility space’s shape and boundaries. This book shows that confirming answers are of three main types—interjections, repetitions, and transformations—each of which has subtypes. Over a series of chapters, the book discusses each answer type and examines the contexts in which speakers rely on them. When interactants rely on a given answer, one can see that they adopt a position that is best analyzed not by reference to a single most common answer form, but by reference to where it sits in the larger possibility space—the same possibility space that interactants hear a given response by reference to. Using this approach, the book shows that question recipients are concerned with alignment, autonomy, and affiliation, each conceptualized as a continuum. Interactants rely on the design of their answer turns in ways that at times accept trade-offs between these three types of cooperation. This approach helps the reader see how even something as mundane as simple questions and answers are resources that are used to manage social relationships, bringing people closer or pushing them further apart, moment by moment.

Abstract:
Political yard signs are one of the most conspicuous features of American political campaigns, yet they have received little attention as a form of political communication or participation. In a climate in which the American public is highly polarized, these symbols are more than simple campaign tools—they are literal markers of partisan identity. As public cues that push into private life, they affect individuals and their neighborhoods, coloring perceptions of social spaces and impacting social networks. In Politics on Display we answer a series of questions about this familiar feature of electoral politics: Why do people put their preferences out there for the world to see? Do neighborhoods become political battlegrounds? And what are the consequences of displaying yard signs in these spaces where we spend most of our time? We answer these questions with an innovative research design, documenting political life in neighborhoods with complementary data sources: street-level observation of the placement of signs and neighborhood-specific survey research that delves into the attitudes, behavior, and social networks of residents. Integrating these data into a geo-database that also includes demographic and election data—and supplementing these data with nationally representative studies—we bring together insights from political communication, political psychology, and political geography. Against a backdrop of today’s political environment of conflict and division, we advance a new understanding of how citizens experience campaigns, why many still insist on airing their views in public, and what happens when social spaces become political spaces.

Full text
Abstract:
This book deals with the field of Electroencephalography in the widest possible sense, from the cellular foundations of the electric activities of the brain to a vast number of clinical applications. The basic science sections were up-dated to include advanced computer modeling approaches. The chapters on normal and pathological EEG findings in premature infants, newborns and children were thoroughly revised to keep up with the advances that have taken place recently in studying brain developmental issues. Major advances have taken place in neurophysiological findings in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders, which led to thoroughly revised chapters. Other rapidly changing subjects related to EEG recording/monitoring in ICU's, EMUs, and operating rooms, in patients with epilepsy, head injuries, infectious disorders and those undergoing surgical procedures, led to radically updating a number of chapters and to the addition of a chapter dedicated to invasive recordings for the treatment of patients with movement disorders. A previously missing chapter on the neurophysiology of myoclonus was added. Chapters that deal with automated EEG interpretation techniques and with standardizing EEG reporting using ILAE/IFCN approved terminology, were also added. Many chapters in the on-line version of the book will have the ability to link to a database of over 150 complete EEGs that cover the scope seen in a general EEG Lab. This link will allow the reader to manipulate the EEG display parameters as if they were in their own lab, generate a report and compare it to one generated by a panel of senior EEGers.

Abstract:
AbstractDatabases usually expose a specific communication protocol for their users. This protocol is the foundation of communication between clients and servers, so it’s often well-documented and has a formal specification. Some databases, like PostgreSQL, implement their own binary format on top of the TCP/IP stack. Others, like Amazon DynamoDB, build theirs on top of HTTP, which is a little more verbose, but also more versatile and compatible with web browsers. It’s also not uncommon to see a database exposing a protocol based on gRPC or any other well-established framework.

Abstract:
AbstractWe won’t sugarcoat it: database benchmarking is hard. There are many moving parts and nuances to consider and manage—and a bit of homework is required to really see what a database is capable of and measure it properly. It’s not easy to properly generate system load to reflect your real-life scenarios. It’s often not obvious how to correctly measure and analyze the end results. And after extracting benchmarking results, you need to be able to read them, understand potential performance bottlenecks, analyze potential performance improvements, and possibly dive into other issues. You need to make your benchmarking results meaningful, ensure they are easily reproducible, and also be able to clearly explain these results to your team and other interested parties in a way that reflects your business needs. There’s also hard mathematics involved: statistics and queueing theory to help with black boxes and measurements, not to mention domain-specific knowledge of the system internals of the servers, platforms, operating systems, and the software running on it.

Lewis, Dustin, ed. Database of States’ Statements (August 2011–October 2016) concerning Use of Force in relation to Syria. Harvard Law School Program on International Law and Armed Conflict, May 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.54813/ekmb4241.

Full text
Abstract:
Many see armed conflict in Syria as a flashpoint for international law. The situation raises numerous unsettling questions, not least concerning normative foundations of the contemporary collective-security and human-security systems, including the following: Amid recurring reports of attacks directed against civilian populations and hospitals with seeming impunity, what loss of legitimacy might law suffer? May—and should—states forcibly intervene to prevent (more) chemical-weapons attacks? If the government of Syria is considered unwilling or unable to obviate terrorist threats from spilling over its borders into other countries, may another state forcibly intervene to protect itself (and others), even without Syria’s consent and without an express authorization of the U.N. Security Council? What began in Daraa in 2011 as protests escalated into armed conflict. Today, armed conflict in Syria implicates a multitude of people, organizations, states, and entities. Some are obvious, such as the civilian population, the government, and organized armed groups (including designated terrorist organizations, for example the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS). Other implicated actors might be less obvious. They include dozens of third states that have intervened or otherwise acted in relation to armed conflict in Syria; numerous intergovernmental bodies; diverse domestic, foreign, and international courts; and seemingly innumerable NGOs. Over time, different states have adopted wide-ranging and diverse approaches to undertaking measures (or not) concerning armed conflict in Syria, whether in relation to the government, one or more armed opposition groups, or the civilian population. Especially since mid-2014, a growing number of states have undertaken military operations directed against ISIS in Syria. For at least a year-and-a-half, Russia has bolstered military strategies of the Syrian government. At least one state (the United States) has directed an operation against a Syrian military base. And, more broadly, many states provide (other) forms of support or assistance to the government of Syria, to armed opposition groups, or to the civilian population. Against that backdrop, the Harvard Law School Program on International Law and Armed Conflict (HLS PILAC) set out to collect states’ statements made from August 2011 through November 2016 concerning use of force in relation to Syria. A primary aim of the database is to provide a comparatively broad set of reliable resources regarding states’ perspectives, with a focus on legal parameters. A premise underlying the database is that through careful documentation of diverse approaches, we can better understand those perspectives. The intended audience of the database is legal practitioners. The database is composed of statements made on behalf of states and/or by state officials. For the most part, the database focuses on statements regarding legal parameters concerning use of force in relation to Syria. HLS PILAC does not pass judgment on whether each statement is necessarily legally salient for purposes of international law. Nor does HLS PILAC seek to determine whether a particular statement may be understood as an expression of opinio juris or an act of state practice (though it might be).

Full text
Abstract:
Creating and protecting more resilient rural livelihoods is seen as being key to advancing Afghanistan’s development and improving its reslience to climate change impacts, particularly drought. This rapid review draws on policy and programme information from donor and multi-lateral organisations and some academic literature to identify best practices and lessons learned on interventions to support livelihood resilience (to drought) in Afghanistan. Where possible, final project evaluations were utilised. Some broader recommendations and insights are taken from other fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) and also from resilience and livelihoods interventions in Afghanistan that are not necessarily explicitly linked to dought. This review highlights the prominence of ‘resilience’ in donor interventions, but that there is a continued lack of clarity on how it should be measured or evaluated. This rapid review uses broad search categories and approaches, including database and website searches and snowballing of references. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed iteratively, with abstracts and documents assessed to find the most relevant papers. Donor databases were searched for relevant information. Much of the literature identified through this rapid review is donor-based evaluations of projects in Afghanistan. However, many of these evaluations are mainly concerned with project outputs and issues of implementation and process, particularly those relating to routine project monitoring and evaluation in fragile situations. Less robust information was provided on the success/results, appropriateness and lessons learned from the interventions themselves. . This review shows a breadth of resilience and livelihood programming in Afghanistan, especially aimed at agriculture and livestock. It was not possible to explore all the evidence and evaluations identified; priority was given to systematic reviews of multiple interventions and evaluations with clear lessons on intervention success.

The document describes the harmonization of databases and highlights trends in sectoral water consumption in the three countries between 2013 and 2017. The preliminary assessment highlights disparities in water consumption among economies, with Colombia being the most water-intensive. Agriculture (Brazil and Colombia) and Water and Sanitation (Costa Rica) show the highest sectoral water footprints and important linkages in the economies. In the face of climate change, more countries could disclose SEEA-Water data to expand the analysis of water footprint and understanding of water use in their economies.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2001, Mexico introduced a comprehensive federal housing policy package. The results have been quantitatively impressive; however, there are qualitative concerns. It is also uncertain whether current subsidy programs have negative financial implications for participating mortgage issuers, as poorer applicants with lower job stability are injected into the pool of borrowers. This paper addresses that question by analyzing a large database provided by INFONAVIT, Mexico¿s principal mortgage issuer, which contains information on borrowers¿ repayment behavior. It is found that borrowers who received subsidies do not show higher default rates than borrowers who received no financial assistance. Borrowers receiving subsidies actually take longer to show their first default than borrowers not receiving subsidies. Therefore, current subsidy programs do not seem to have negative financial implications for participating mortgage institutions.

Full text
Abstract:
The recent global financial crisis has put the spotlight on macro-prudential policies to protect firms and households from problems emanating from the financial sector. This paper proposes an analytical framework that combines exogenous and endogenous risks, the latter seen as stemming from frictions in financial markets. Arguing that endogenous risks may be systemic and costly, the paper employs a database of emerging market corporate bond spreads and finds evidence that endogenous risks are present and have amplified the effects of financial crises. Larger financial systems are found to exacerbate the impact of crises, and weaker financial systems are found to exacerbate particularly the impact of banking crises. The results suggest that policymakers should monitor time-varying systemic risks using both price and quantity signals and take actions in good times to mitigate potential amplifying effects at times of stress.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is tasked with the stewardship of billions of dollars’ worth of public invested highway infrastructure. Not only does INDOT continually seek design and operational policies that foster cost effective project delivery and procurement, they also seek opportunities for revenue generation. Due to population growth and the increased demand for online connectivity and global information transmission, the fiber-optic cable industry has experienced rapid growth over the past few years. Information and communication technology (ICT) companies have long sought to achieve higher economic productivity by installing fiber-optic cables in the right of way (ROW) of access-controlled highways. Based on these developments, an experiment was conducted to measure the economic impact in Indiana. To determine this impact, a database was developed by compartmentalizing the analysis into (1) GDP per county per industry type, (2) the natural growth of GDP as a factor, and (3) the extent of contribution of broadband in the growth of GDP. A general formula was developed to incorporate the adjusted median income on both the industry and county levels, along with a broadband contribution factor. This formula was employed to determine policies that can produce optimum economic outcome by leveraging the Pareto method.

Abstract:
The Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) is a global network of researchers and policy makers conducting quantitative analysis of international policy issues. The motivation and ultimate success of the Project stems from the fact that collaboration is essential for detailed analysis of the global economy. The importance of collaboration to improve the quality of policy analysis world-wide is most clearly seen in the development of the GTAP Data Base. The GTAP Data Base is the centerpiece of the Global Trade Analysis Project. It records the annual flows of goods and services for the entire world economy in the benchmark year(s). It consists of bilateral trade, transport, and protection matrices that link individual country/regional economic data bases. The production of the GTAP Data Base relies on the valuable contributions of many individuals and organizations throughout the world. Individuals contribute the best available input-output table for their country, while other experts contribute the macro, trade, protection and other data required. The Center for Global Trade Analysis, the home of GTAP, then brings these contributions together into one useable, globally consistent, database. The result is a fully documented , publicly available and regularly updated global database. This year (2012), the eighth version of the GTAP Data Base was released, covering 129 countries, 57 sectors, 5 factors and two base years (2004 and 2007). The GTAP Data Base is utilized in a suite of comparative static and dynamic computable general equilibrium models and underlies most contemporary economic analysis of global policy issues related to trade, energy and the environment.

Abstract:
In 2021 world military expenditure surpassed the two trillion US dollar mark for the first time, reaching $2113 billion. Global spending in 2021 was 0.7 per cent higher than in 2020 and 12 per cent higher than in 2012. The economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have not ended the continuous upward trend in world military expenditure seen since 2015. As a result of the strong economic recovery across the globe in 2021, world military spending as a share of world gross domestic product—the global military burden—reached 2.2 per cent, down from 2.3 per cent in 2020. Average military spending as a share of government expenditure in 2021 remained the same as in 2020, at 5.9 per cent. This Fact Sheet presents regional and national military expenditure data for 2021 and highlights trends over the decade 2012–21. The data comes from the updated SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, which provides military spending data by country for the years 1949–2021.
