Which of the following is true about neglected tropical diseases? Though they impact billions of people, most of these diseases are very expensive and difficult to treat Older adults are most vulnerable to these diseases, while children are relatively unaffected by them given their strong immune systems. These diseases affect relatively small populations, but have very high mortality rates They impact billions of people and are relatively easy to treat given sufficient funding and an efficient implementation of that funding

1. Identify the top five (or ten) source countries of FDI into your country. Then identify the top ten (or 20) foreign MNÉs that have undertaken inbound FDI in your country, Why do these countries and companies provide the bulk of FDI into your country? 2. Worldwide, which ten countries were the largest recipient and source countries of FDI last year? Why? Will this situation change in five years? How about 20 years down the road? Why? 3. ON ETHICS: Undertaking FDI, by definition, means not investing in the MNE's home country (see the Closing Case). What are the ethical dilemmas here? What are your recommendations as (1) MNE executives, (2) labor union leaders of your domestic (home-country) labor forces, (3) host-country officials, and (4) home-country officials?
The advent of the COVID- 19 virus has brought about what is considered a “new normal” in the world and indeed in the Caribbean. In adapting to this “new normal,” many changes must take place if communities and nations are to successfully deal with the health, social, mental, educational, financial and economic etc. issues brought about by the virus. You belong to a Reflective/Reflexive learning team given the responsibility to lead the recovery process to deal with the “new normal” and bring positive educational changes to a selected Caribbean country. Use at least three Reflective/Reflexive models or theories and show how the knowledge, skills and competencies acquired could be used effectively to develop an Education Policy document to deal with the “new normal” and bring positive changes to the education system in the selected Caribbean country post COVID- 19. focusing on Financial and Economic relevance.

During a nationwide program to immunize the population against a new strain of the flu, public health officials determined that the cost of inoculating x% of the susceptible populationwould be approximately C(x) = 1.85x/100-x million dollars. (i) What would it cost to providing immunization to the first 20% of the susceptible population?(ii) What would it cost to provide immunization to the next 30%of the susceptible population?(iii) Suppose 17 million dollars are available for providing immunization. What percentage of the susceptible population will not receive immunization?
Please no written by hand Suppose that in a country one-third of all females born die in infancy, one-third of all females die in infancy, one-third die at age 30, and one-third live to age 60. Women bear one child at age 25, one child at 28, one child at age 32, and one child at age 35. One-half of children are girls. b.) Suppose the mortality is reduced so that there is no infant mortality. Half of all women die at age 30 and a half at age 60. Compute the NRR.
Please, could you explain how π(Q) = (MC + F/Q)Q - C(Q) get to MC = (F/Q^2) + (dC(Q)/dQ) ?? Please I don't understand derivation of (F/Q^2)?? Please urgent!!

Information is an integral part of many public health programs that can be considered as public good. However, individuals can benefit from it if they have access to receive that information. Does the Philippines show efficiency in information dissemination? How about in its vaccination campaign?
Consider an infectious disease such as the flu which is spread primarily through virus particles in aerosolized respiratory droplets of already infected people. a In the midst of an infectious disease epidemic of this sort, is it privately rational for people to limit their exposure to other people, perhaps by staying home from work or not going to school? b An infected person who goes out into public areas and does not take precautions to contain their respiratory emissions clearly poses a negative externality on those around them. Does an uninfected person going out into public areas also pose a negative externality? c For a particularly severe disease outbreak of this sort, one possible government response is to exaggerate to the public both the harm that might arise from contracting the disease and the likelihood of contracting the disease. In what ways might such a strategy reduce the harm to the public from the disease epidemic? In what ways might such a strategy increase the…
