Child Health in Complex Emergencies

Addressing the health needs of children in complex emergencies is critical to the success of relief efforts and requires coordinated and effective interventions. However, little systematic work has been undertaken to evaluate such care. To address this need, this monograph presents a review of the published literature in this area, providing background on the burden of disease, the major causes of morbidity and mortality, and the evidence base for effective interventions. It also describes surveys of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and international agencies providing care to children in complex emergencies, which were conducted to identify guidelines commonly used to provide such care and assesses the content and limitations of these guidelines. A more in-depth survey of several organizations was also conducted to assess obstacles to this kind of care. On the basis of the survey findings and the review of the published literature, the working group recommended that evidence-based, locally adapted guidelines to address the curative and preventive care of children in complex emergencies and health systems planning should be adopted by ministries of health and supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. The guidelines should target, as much as possible, the different levels of health care workers providing care to children to ensure appropriate, effective, and uniform care in a variety of situations. Child Health in Complex Emergencies presents specific examples of areas for further research and guideline development. This report is not intended to be an exhaustive and definitive assessment of child health in complex emergencies. The topic is much too vast and complex, and different individuals and institutions will have incompatible perspectives. Rather, we aim to provide a starting point for discussion and debate on how to improve the care of children in these settings.

Understanding Pore Space through Log Measurements

By: K. Meenakshi Sundaram,Soumyajit Mukherjee

This book Understanding Pore Space through Log Measurements deals with porosity, insight on pore shape connectedness, grain size, grain aspect ratio, permeability etc. Most of the published literature is focused on permeability from log measurements and log analytic techniques for porosity and fluid saturation determination. On the other hand, this book aims at looking at porosity distribution, pore shape, and pore connectedness using log measurements and thus bringing pore space into focus. A compilation of available knowledge from this perspective will lead the reader to better understanding of reservoir characterization takeaways, which exploration and exploitation managers and workers will be looking for. - Offers insight into influence of pore attributes on macroscopic pore space descriptors - Grain characters that influence the properties of the pore space - Guides on how to best model the inversion of log data into these attributes

Managing Unstructured Data: NoSQL Database Essentials

By: Anooja Ali,A Ajil,Meenakshi Sundaram A

Managing Unstructured Data: NoSQL Database Essentials-is a reference book and guide for teaching and reading skills to college faculty and students. In Chapter1 the fundamentals of database and relational data base are discussed. This chapter helps students to understand data management concepts by data modelling, schema design, data storage and retrieval. This chapter includes the foundational skills that are applicable across various industries and provides a stepping stone for further specialization and career development. The chapter 2 is all about unstructured data. Varying methods for managing, analysing, and storing data are needed for varying levels of organization and complexity, which are represented by structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. This chapter provides a platform for students to understand the transition from structured to unstructured data in terms of data management and analysis and it is a pivotal aspect of modern data management. In chapter 3 concepts of NoSQL data base and the major differences with SQL & Relational data bases are highlighted. This chapter explains the adoptions of NoSQL with flexible schema, scalability, high performance and support for distributed architecture. Chapter 4 is all about NoSQL databases, or "Not Only SQL" databases which represent a diverse set of database technologies designed to address specific challenges not well served by traditional relational databases. A brief overview of the main types of NoSQL databases are discussed here. The four basic data models such as key-value pairs, document-oriented, columnar, and graph-based structures are represented in this chapter. Information on popular NoSQL database technologies is given in chapter 5. Details of technologies like Apache HBase, Apache CouchDB, Neo4j, Apache Cassandra and their comparison are also provided here. It includes the distributed architecture with fault tolerance, high availability, and disaster recovery capabilities for ensuring data integrity and business continuity. Chapter 6 discusses the overview of Mongo DB which is a document-oriented NoSQL database known for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. The features of Mongo DB including document store, MongoDB protocol, horizontal scalability, cross platform compatibility, replication and sharding are also covered here. Chapter 7 deals with Concurrency control in databases. It discusses about the methods to obtain concurrency in structured data, and then in unstructured data, challenges in concurrency control for unstructured data, commits in transaction and the different isolation levels. Chapter 8 discusses on how unstructured data are used in big data processing. It includes Query processing performance evaluation in big data systems, the types od dirty data. Data cleansing is explained in detail with the steps in cleansing, exploratory data analysis, and data visualization. Hope this book on Managing Unstructured Data: NoSQL Database Essentials will provide a handy and useful reference book for teachers and students on Unstructured Database.
