This paper aims at providing an overview of the COVID-19 situation, health policies, and economic impact in Greece, Iceland, New Zealand, Singapore. The four countries were chosen due to their ability contain spread mitigate effects on societies.We use document analysis based available national reports, media announcements, official coronavirus websites governmental decrees each starting from 1st January o 9th August announcements. We apply a policy gradient compare examine policies...
The initial policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic has differed widely across countries. Such variability in government interventions made it difficult for policymakers and health research systems compare what happened effectiveness of nations. Timely information analysis are crucial addressing lag between responses implement targeted alleviate impact pandemic.
We explore the effects of quantity information on tendency to contribute crowdfunding campaigns. Using platform Kickstarter, we analyze campaign descriptions and performance over 70,000 projects. look empirically at effect (word count) funding success (as measure by amount raised number backers). Within this empirical approach, test whether an excessive will affect success. To do so, for non-linearity (quadratic) our independent variable using regression analysis. Consistent with hypothesis...
Despite widespread perceptions that SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) is no longer a significant threat, the virus continues to loom, and new variants may require renewed efforts control its spread. Understanding how individual preferences attitudes influence vaccination behaviour policy compliance in light of endemic phase crucial preparation for this possibility. This paper presents descriptive data from global stated choice survey conducted 22 countries across 6 different continents between July 2022...
Disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) are characterized by debilitating symptoms not explained structural or biochemical abnormalities. While functional conditions present with complex, likely heterogeneous pathophysiology, we aimed to investigate if proxy measures sociocultural and environmental factors associated the prevalence various DGBI in populations across world.
Abstract Increasing the tax compliance of self-employed business owners—particularly trade-specific service providers such as those involved in construction and repair work—remains an ongoing challenge for authorities. From a point view, cash transactions are particularly problematic when services paid on spot, these exchanges difficult to audit. We present experimental evidence testing ten different policy strategies rooted enforcement, service, trust/social paradigms, setting that allows...
A number of government measures and interventions are implemented in response to viral outbreaks or declared global pandemics. To examine the impact non-government technological responses have on individual behaviour, epidemiology, economic outcomes, we propose a conceptual framework that categorises policy directives. This assigns gradient indicating severity measure. In doing so provide measure examines effect dominant initiatives outcomes. We demonstrate value categorisation process using...
Abstract Background Catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for chronic intestinal failure (CIF) are associated with significant morbidity and financial costs. Taurolidine is a reduction infections, limited information on the cost‐effectiveness as primary prevention. This study aimed to determine of using taurolidine‐citrate prevention CRBSIs within quaternary hospital. Methods All CIF HPN were identified between January 2015...
In immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) positive subjects, colonoscopy screening can detect colorectal cancers and advanced adenomas, yet most iFOBT-positive subjects find no relevant lower gastrointestinal lesions. Limited data are available on upper (UGI) cancer risk in patients. This study investigated the incidence of UGI malignancies diagnosed within 3 years post-colonoscopy after a iFOBT.
Abstract Background and study aims Reduction of colorectal cancer morbidity mortality is one the primary objectives colonoscopy. Post-colonoscopy cancers (PCCRCs) are critical outcome parameters. Analysis PCCRC rates can validate quality assurance measures in We assessed effectiveness implementing a gastroenterologist-led framework that monitors key procedure indicators (i.e., bowel preparation quality, adenoma detection rates, or patient satisfaction) by comparing rate before after...

Increasing the tax compliance of self-employed business owners (particularly trade-specific service providers) remains an ongoing challenge for authorities. From a point view, cash transactions are particularly problematic when services paid on spot, as such exchanges difficult to audit. As novelty we present experimental evidence testing 11 different policy strategies in setting that allows transactions. Our sample includes both students and non-students active industries characterised by...
