Of all people, by all people, for all people? Perceptions of economic inequality and democracy in Africa by Isbell, Thomas Alexander

“…I bridge both problems by using representative survey data collected in 34 countries between 2016 and 2018 by the Afrobarometer value-survey (n>45000). Specifically, I compute measures of perceptions of individual economic inequality by using a survey question which asks respondents whether they feel relatively deprived (in regard to their living situation), relatively advantaged or equal to other people in their country. …”

Illuminating a neglected population: epidemiological and clinical features of silicosis and tuberculosis among former gold miners from Lesotho by Maboso, Botembetume

“…For sub-study 2, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), of CXR and symptoms, in the diagnosis of TB, were computed. For sub-study 3, multiple logistic regression modelling of various variables against silicosis, active TB and hypoxaemia as dependent variables in separate models was carried out. …”
