Refugees And Asylum Seekers From Mixed Eritrean­Ethiopian Families In Cairo, Louise Thomas Jun 2006

Refugees And Asylum Seekers From Mixed Eritrean­Ethiopian Families In Cairo, Louise Thomas

Faculty Journal Articles

People from mixed Eritrean­Ethiopian families have been caught on the ‘front line’ of hostile relations between Eritrea and Ethiopia, especially since the outbreak of the 1998­2000 war between the two countries. This report, based on interviews conducted with refugees from mixed Eritrean­Ethiopian families in Egypt, seeks to explain the uniquely difficult situation still faced by this group. It contends that because of their family relations with both Eritrea and Ethiopia, people from mixed families find themselves in limbo legally, socially and psychologically, and should therefore be of concern to UNHCR’s international protection regime. This report has three aims. The first …

Climate Scenarios For California, Edwin P. Maurer, Michael Dettinger, Daniel Cayan, Mary Tyree, Katherine Hayhoe, Celine Bonfils, Philip B. Duffy, Benjamin Santer Jun 2006

Climate Scenarios For California, Edwin P. Maurer, Michael Dettinger, Daniel Cayan, Mary Tyree, Katherine Hayhoe, Celine Bonfils, Philip B. Duffy, Benjamin Santer

Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering

Possible future climate changes in California are investigated from a varied set of climate change model simulations. These simulations, conducted by three state-of-the-art global climate models, provide trajectories from three greenhouse gas (GHG) emission scenarios. These scenarios and the resulting climate simulations are not “predictions,” but rather are a limited sample from among the many plausible pathways that may affect California’s climate. Future GHG concentrations are uncertain because they depend on future social, political, and technological pathways, and thus the IPCC has produced four “families” of emission scenarios. To explore some of these uncertainties, emissions scenarios A2 (a medium-high emissions) …

Interacting With Data Using The Filehash Package For R, Roger Peng Jun 2006

Interacting With Data Using The Filehash Package For R, Roger Peng

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

The filehash package for R implements a simple key-value style database where character string keys are associated with data values that are stored on the disk. A simple interface is provided for inserting, retrieving, and deleting data from the database. Utilities are provided that allow filehash databases to be treated much like environments and lists are already used in R. These utilities are provided to encourage interactive and exploratory analysis on large datasets. Three different file formats for representing the database are currently available and new formats can easily be incorporated by third parties for use in the filehash framework.

Integrating The Predictiveness Of A Marker With Its Performance As A Classifier, Margaret S. Pepe, Ziding Feng, Ying Huang, Gary M. Longton, Ross Prentice, Ian M. Thompson, Yingye Zheng Jun 2006

Integrating The Predictiveness Of A Marker With Its Performance As A Classifier, Margaret S. Pepe, Ziding Feng, Ying Huang, Gary M. Longton, Ross Prentice, Ian M. Thompson, Yingye Zheng

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

There are two popular statistical approaches to biomarker evaluation. One models the risk of disease (or disease outcome) using, for example, logistic regression. A marker is useful if it has a strong effect on risk. The second evaluates classification performance using measures such as sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and ROC curves. There is controversy about which approach is most appropriate. Moreover, the two approaches often give contradictory results on the same data. We present a new graphic, the predictiveness curve, that complements the risk modeling approach. It assesses the usefulness of a risk model when applied to the population. In …

An Integrated Perspective On The Collateral Consequences Of Criminal Convictions And Reentry Issues Faced By Formerly Incarcerated Individuals, Michael Pinard Jun 2006

An Integrated Perspective On The Collateral Consequences Of Criminal Convictions And Reentry Issues Faced By Formerly Incarcerated Individuals, Michael Pinard

Faculty Scholarship

This article examines the emergent focus on the collateral consequences of criminal convictions and the reentry of formerly incarcerated individuals. Specifically, the article details the ways in which legal scholars, policy analysts, elected officials, legal services organizations and community based organizations have begun to address these components of the criminal justice system. The article argues that these various groups have compartmentalized collateral consequences and reentry by focusing almost exclusively on one component to the exclusion of the other. In doing so, they have narrowed the lens through which to view these components, and have therefore missed opportunities to develop integrated …

Managed Care And Medi-Cal Beneficiaries With Disabilities: Assessing Current State Practice In A Changing Federal Policy Environment, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Sara E. Wilensky, Peter Shin, Ramona Whittington

Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications

This analysis, prepared for The California Endowment, is a follow-on report to our earlier work that raised issues to be considered before moving persons with disabilities into compulsory Medicaid managed care plans and reviewed the extent to which California's legal framework addressed the concerns identified. In this report, the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services examines how other states have addressed issues that arise in designing, implementing and overseeing compulsory managed care systems for persons with disabilities and serious and chronic health conditions. The experiences of other states that have developed these types of arrangements offer …
