Using ArcMap, Google Earth, and Global Positioning Systems to Select and Locate Random Households in Rural Haiti
Full text linkBackground: A remote sensing technique was developed which combines a Geographic Information System (GIS); Google Earth, and Microsoft Excel to identify home locations for a random sample of households in rural Haiti. The method was used to select homes for ethnographic and water quality research in a region of rural Haiti located within 9 km of a local hospital and source of health education in Deschapelles, Haiti. The technique does not require access to governmental records or ground based surveys to collect household location data and can be performed in a rapid, cost-effective manner.
Methods: The random selection of households and the location of these households during field surveys were accomplished using GIS, Google Earth, Microsoft Excel, and handheld Garmin GPSmap 76CSx GPS units. Homes were identified and mapped in Google Earth, exported to ArcMap 10.0, and a random list of homes was generated using Microsoft Excel which was then loaded onto handheld GPS units for field location. The development and use of a remote sensing method was essential to the selection and location of random households.
Results: A total of 537 homes initially were mapped and a randomized subset of 96 was identified as potential survey locations. Over 96% of the homes mapped using Google Earth imagery were correctly identified as occupied dwellings. Only 3.6% of the occupants of mapped homes visited declined to be interviewed. 16.4% of the homes visited were not occupied at the time of the visit due to work away from the home or market days. A total of 55 households were located using this method during the 10 days of fieldwork in May and June of 2012.
Conclusions: The method used to generate and field locate random homes for surveys and water sampling was an effective means of selecting random households in a rural environment lacking geolocation infrastructure. The success rate for locating households using a handheld GPS was excellent and only rarely was local knowledge required to identify and locate households. This method provides an important technique that can be applied to other developing countries where a randomized study design is needed but infrastructure is lacking to implement more traditional participant selection methods

Magyarország külpolitikai elszigetelődése 1476-ban
Full text linkThe author in this study undertook to describe how European events between 1465-1475 had effects on Hungary. She came to the conclusion that Hungary in 1476 became isolated in respects of foreign politics, could make an alliance only with Naples and Papal State. This forced King Matthias I of Hungary to start war against Emperor Frederic III, to achieve that his progeny would be the king of Hungary
Kommentar: Heinrich Steinhöwel's Aesopus: Vita et Fabulae Ulm 1476
No full textThis commentary comes boxed with the impressive facsimile edition of Steinhöwel's Aesopus: Vita et Fabulae Ulm 1476 from Edition Libri Illustri Verlag. It is a paperbound large-format (8¾ x 12¼) book of 84 pages. Its sections include an introduction; Steinhöwel; his choice, formation, and translation of texts; the illustrations; Zainer and the printing of the book; ten pages of full-page black-and-white illustrations; a description of the book used for the facsimile and a comparison of it with other extant copies; a bibliography; and an index. I have perused the first ten or fifteen pages and found them well researched. This commentary, by gathering all secondary information in one place outside of the facsimile edition itself, makes the glorious facsimile edition possible.Language note: GermanOriginal language: undPeter Amelun

Evaluation of the role of location and distance in recruitment in respondent-driven sampling
Full text linkHousehold location affected the overall probability of recruitment, and the probability of recruitment by a specific recruiter. Patterns of recruitment do not appear to have greatly biased estimates in this study. The observed patterns could result in bias in more geographically heterogeneous populations. Care is required in RDS studies when choosing the network size question and interview site location(s)
