Testing the Effectiveness of Community-Based Dengue Vector Control Interventions Using Semiparametric Mixed Models Universiteit Hasselt
Objective: To evaluate the results obtained though intersectoral coordination and community empowerment in one study carried out during 6 years in Playa Municipality, Cuba. Methods: A longitudinal assessment comparing one intervention and one control area was conducted. The intervention encompasses two main stages separated by two dengue outbreaks. The first stage, focused on strengthening intersectoral coordination, was initiated in January ...

A review of the vector management methods to prevent and control outbreaks of West Nile virus infection and the challenge for Europe Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
West Nile virus infection is a growing concern in Europe. Vector management is often the primary option to prevent and control outbreaks of the disease. Its implementation is, however, complex and needs to be supported by integrated multidisciplinary surveillance systems and to be organized within the framework of predefined response plans. The impact of the vector control measures depends on multiple factors and the identification of the ...

Testing the effectiveness of dengue vector control interventions Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Gent
Background: Community-based srategies to dengue vector control have been implemented in different countries worldwide, but there is a need for more evidence on their effectiveness. We present an application of a semiparametric mixed model to evaluate the results obtained through intersectoral coordination and community empowerment in one study carried out during six years in Playa Municipality, Cuba. Methods: A longitudinal comparing one ...
Token-based vector space models as semantic control in lexical lectometry KU Leuven
Type-based distributional semantics as embodied in vector space models has proven to be a successful method for the retrieval of near-synonyms in large corpora. These words have then been used as variants of lexical sociolinguistic variables (e.g.: return and winst for the concept profit) in lectometric studies, that is, the aggregate-level study of lexical distances between linguistic varieties, in particular pluricentric languages such as ...
An Assessment of Participatory Integrated Vector Management for Malaria Control in Kenya KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends integrated vector management (IVM) as a strategy to improve and sustain malaria vector control. However, this approach has not been widely adopted. OBJECTIVES: We comprehensively assessed experiences and findings on IVM in Kenya with a view to sharing lessons that might promote its wider application. METHODS: The assessment used information from a qualitative external evaluation of two ...
