Corruption and Health Systems
Corruption in global health: the open secret - Patricia J García, MD Published:November 27, 2019 LECTURE| VOLUME 394, ISSUE 10214, P2119-2124, DECEMBER 07, 2019 Summary Corruption is embedded in health systems. Throughout my life—as a researcher, public health worker, and a Minister of Health—I have been able to see entrenched dishonesty and fraud. But despite being one of the most important barriers to implementing universal health coverage around the world, corruption is rarely openly discussed. In this Lecture, I outline the magnitude of the problem of corruption, how ... mais »

What music sounded like in Ancient Greece?
Idea / Music Can we know what music sounded like in Ancient Greece? Armand D’Angour – From the archive*They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead; They brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed;I wept as I remembered how often you and I Had tired the sun with talking, and sent him down the sky.And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian guest, A handful of grey ashes, long, long ago at rest,Still are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake;**For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.* This epigram by Callimachus, in a moving translation ... mais »

A hopefully constructive criticism is that it might be a bit clearer to put the more ephemeral data points, e.g. vietnam and iraq, on the top of the stack so the longer term data points aren't so disrupted.
Inequality
Inequality could be lower than you think But there is plenty to do to make economies fairer Leaders Nov 28th 2019 edition Even in a world of polarisation, fake news and social media, some beliefs remain universal, and central to today’s politics. None is more influential than the idea that inequality has risen in the rich world. People read about it in newspapers, hear about it from their politicians and feel it in their daily lives. This belief motivates populists, who say selfish metropolitan elites have pulled the ladder of opportunity away from ordinary people. It has given succ... mais »

A dozen miles off the coast of California, she emerges into view and exhales with a final, weakened puff. After sixty-five years, death has come for the great beast, and she hangs limp at the surface. "Some whales begin to sink straightaway, but this particular whale will remain afloat.

Serendiptia
De uma conversa com o Amicor *Professor César Victora* emergiu a palavra *Serendiptia*, depois de conversarmos sobre *"schadenfreude" e saudade.* Descobri também sua inexistência, ou melhor, até agora não a encontrei no meu "Aurélio". Felizmente temos muitas outras fontes para consultar. Tenho dúvidas sobre a grafia mais adequada: se tem "i" entre o "p" e o "t", se o "t" pode ser suprimido... De qualquer forma, as descobertas não acontecem por mero acaso, é preciso que pre-existam conexões disponíveis e compatíveis em nossas mentes. O prazer das descobertas deve estar relacionado com ... mais »

WOMEN OF IMPACT
*By **Intan Nurhat**i, Paleoclimate Scientist and Oceanographer* Gender equality is a collective goal, not confined to any place and time. National Geographic brings together stories of women warriors across generations in narrowing the gap of gender equality. Today, no country in the world has achieved gender equality. The Gender Gap Report reminds us of a 32% gender gap that remains to be closed globally. Gaps in educational attainment, as well as health and survival, are narrowing. Still, larger gaps remain in economic and political empowerment.emotional intelligence
