Mapping subnational HIV mortality in six Latin American countries with incomplete vital registration systems by Local Burden of Disease HIV Collaborators (13279180)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">All countries displayed over a 40-fold difference in HIV mortality between municipalities with the highest and lowest age-standardized HIV mortality rate in the last year of study for men, and over a 20-fold difference for women. Despite decreases in national HIV mortality in all countries—apart from Ecuador—across the period of study, we found broad variation in relative changes in HIV mortality at the municipality level and increasing relative inequality over time in all countries. …”

Willingness to pay for green power in an unreliable electricity sector : Part 1. The case of the Lebanese residential sector by Dagher, Leila

“…Four scenarios for WTP for green power were designed to best reflect the possibilities of integrating renewable energy (RE) sources in Lebanon׳s ‘unreliable’ electricity sector; (1) local system covering partial electricity needs, (2) local system covering entire electricity needs, (3) utility-provided green power covering partial electricity needs, and (4) utility-provided green power covering entire electricity needs. The results based on a Tobit model highlight the importance of RE options that displace completely the diesel generator sets, i.e. options 2 and 4. …”
